Chapter 124 In Miami

Miami, a famous tourist destination, is famous for its sandy beaches, sunshine and islands, as well as the famous sea-crossing bridge. After entering June, with the official announcement of the True Lies crew, this place has become an entertainment destination. The focus of the circle, even the few blockbusters that were released in the summer, can only be dwarfed by comparison.

The reason is simple, the investment in this film broke the record of Terminator 2, reaching an unprecedented 130 million, which is real dollars, not Italian lira or Spanish pesetas.

In the early 1990s, this number was truly astounding. Even a film giant like Twentieth Century Fox could not afford it alone. They brought in Paramount Pictures to share the huge investment.

The lineup of the crew is luxurious, the script is from Ryan Jenkins, the master James Cameron is in charge of the director, the action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the leading role, and the scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis as the heroine, Anne Hurd and James Cameron, the former husband and wife group, once again joined as producers.

Unprecedented investment, luxurious production lineup, and crazy hype from the two major film companies since their inception, it is difficult not to attract attention.

Before entering July, Ryan left New York by plane and came to this famous seaside city.

Hi Jim, Arnold, long time no see.

Ryan greeted two acquaintances and took a quick glance on the set. Many people knew each other, either important members of Cameron's team, or famous actors or producers.

For example, Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis, this past life movie is her pinnacle, especially the dance, which is absolutely amazing.

And 20th Century Fox's production manager Grant Hill, James Cameron's ex-wife Anne Hurd... no, it should be an ex-wife, just at the end of last year, Cameron and Katherine Birow Court officially divorced, and Linda Hamilton had a public sex.

However, what surprised Ryan is that this guy is obviously very good at women. Not only has he maintained a good relationship with Anne Hurd, but even Katherine Biroger, who was raped, has no complaints. It is said that he also has a relationship with Bearded maintains normal contacts.

In addition to his bizarre aesthetics that can't be complimented, Ryan still admires this guy's methods. Do you want to ask him for advice?

This is a temporary photo studio, and the model of the Sea Harrier fighter in the middle is particularly conspicuous.

Hello Ryan, I'm Katherine Isabelle, nice to meet you.

Under the leadership of an agent, a little brown-haired girl came to him and introduced herself.

Hello, Miss Isabelle.

Since the Brad Pitt he recommended became popular, more and more actors have started to join him in the recent period. Ryan knows that this is the norm in the circle, and there is no way to do it. George stop everyone.

Ryan, just call me Kate.

Like magic, the little girl took out the signature book and fountain pen and handed them over.

I sighed in my heart, is the little girl thinking so much now? Ryan finished writing the congratulatory message, returned the book, and asked casually, Kate, which role do you play?

Ah? Catherine Isabelle froze for a moment.

Then, Dana, Mr. Schwarzenegger's daughter.

Dana? Ryan looked at her, um... a little sympathetic.

This female role does not have many roles, but it is very important, especially because there are many action scenes. With James Cameron's character, she will definitely not use a stand-in. She will play in person at that time, and bumps will definitely be indispensable.

Thinking of his treatment in Terminator 2, Ryan shook his head. He was agile and a man, and suffered a lot of minor injuries. This girl...

Okay, Kate, I'm waiting to see your wonderful performance. Ryan was about to leave.

Really? I will definitely work hard. The little girl was obviously very excited.

Before you know it, many people have changed their lives because of me! Ryan sighed slightly. He remembered it very clearly. In his previous life, Aliza Dushku, a famous Hollywood child star, played Dana, but now it is replaced by this little girl named Katherine Isabelle, which is really interesting.

True Lies is the beginning of China's import of Hollywood blockbusters. It is a landmark movie on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Ryan still remembers that he was not very interested in movies at the beginning of his previous life, especially those great movies that the school organized to watch. Sometimes I feel sick to watch.

Later, by chance, he saw True Lies. Like most Chinese people in that era, he can only describe it in two words - shock!

It turns out that the movie can still be shot in this way. It turns out that the protagonist in the film is not only Wei Guangzheng, but also has a sinister side. It turns out that Arab brothers are often linked to terrorism. It turns out that a firewood girl can become Fashion beauty.

This movie had a profound impact on him in his previous life. Since then, he has also known that there is a place in the world called Hollywood!

In addition to chatting with a few acquaintances and pulling relationships, Ryan mostly watched the filming in silence. Although the script was written by him, he had already granted James Cameron permission to change it. Most of the people here are busy, like There are very few idlers like him.

Hi Ryan.

Hello, Shirley. Ryan stood up from his seat and shook hands with the middle-aged woman who came over.

I haven't seen each other for half a year, you are so tall. Shirley Lansing sighed. If you didn't look at the other party's childish face and judged age only by talking, most people in the circle would probably Treat him like an adult.

This woman is a veritable strong woman. Ryan remembers it very well. As long as there are no major accidents, in the next year or the year after, Shirley Lansing will become the head of Paramount Pictures, and in the next ten years, she will become the head of Paramount Pictures. One of the most powerful women in Hollywood.

The two chatted for a while, and the topic quickly turned to the movie.

Nowadays, the investment in movies is getting bigger and bigger. Once there is an accident, the production company will inevitably be hurt, and cooperative investment will become a trend. Shirley Lansing's words obviously have other meanings, And the theater chain, The number of movie theaters will have a decisive impact on profitability.

That's right! Ryan nodded in agreement, with an implicit meaning in his words, Only by sharing benefits can investment risks be reduced.

Shirley Lansing also smiled, he was young, but he was as smart as rumored, Ryan, Mr. Redstone asked me to bring greetings, Viacom can be your partner in the future, if Jenkins If the film industry has needs in terms of cinema, you can speak up.”

Americans don't pay attention to this kind of subtlety. The exchange of interests is the exchange of interests. There is nothing to say. Viacom is an uncompromising media giant. Industry stepped in.

Definitely. Ryan thought for a moment and asked directly, I heard that Mr. Summer Redstone intends to buy Paramount?

This sentence is to pretend to be confused. Well-informed people in the circle have already known that Viacom is constantly raising funds and is preparing to forcefully acquire Paramount Pictures, which faces a formidable competitor.

I guess it's not a secret, is it? Shirley Lansing said with a smile.

As long as the works can continue to generate benefits, more and more film companies will show their favor to him. After all, all major film companies know that Jenkins Films is an empty shell, and Ryan Jenkins' ambition is not on this. They don't have too many conflicts of interest, and they can be human at a young age and know how to share interests.

They can't get along with anyone, and they won't get along with the green bills.

Shirley, I heard that Paramount is exploring the Chinese market? After chatting about True Lies again, Ryan changed the subject.

Yes. It's not a secret, and it's not just the Paramount family who want to open up that market. Actually, we are trying to set up an office in Beijing through our relationship in Hong Kong.

Shirley Lansing asked curiously, Are you interested in China?

Actually, when I was in Norton Orphanage, I learned the language from a few Chinese people there. In recent years, if I have time, I will also study their culture. Ryan said in a panic, Shirley, help me. Can you do a little favor and ask your staff to mail some Chinese entertainment magazines every month, preferably those with national influence.

No problem. Shirley Lansing agreed directly, and it wasn't even a little trouble.

China? When did you become interested in China?

Probably when the filming came to an end, James Cameron and Grant Hill came over, Okay, I know you understand Chinese, but what do you want from a Chinese entertainment magazine? Do you want to develop there?

Ryan pouted and went to develop over there. What are you kidding? The entertainment industry over there is a darker existence than Hollywood.

It's nothing, I just think the Chinese market has huge potential, and I want to know the entertainment trends over there. Ryan casually found a reason.

Appreciate further details.

The one who can say this must be James Cameron, who always likes to make things difficult for him.

Ryan tapped his fingers, roughly organized the language, and said, Jim, since the opening of the Eastern European market, our films have grown a lot at the global box office, and many of our films have surpassed the North American box office at the overseas box office, you guys. Do you know how many people there are in Eastern Europe and how many people are in China? China has a population of more than one billion or more. What a huge market it is. Indeed, their current movie market is immature and lacks enough moviegoers, but The market is cultivated, and we can fully cooperate with them to cultivate and mature that market with good enough movies.”

...The unit was cut off from water, electricity, and the Internet. I don't know who is going to start the battle... I went home at noon and uploaded it, two chapters at a time...
