Chapter 36 New Mexico

Although it has created classic animated characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, before the 1980s, Walt Disney was not a top Hollywood film production company, and after the 1980s, Michael Eisner Become the head of this animation giant.

It was during his tenure that Disney became one of the seven major Hollywood studios and a large media conglomerate with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.

Of course, like all people in power, he is cronyism and self-inflation.

However, not long after entering 1991, even if Michael Eisner was a crony, he used someone with considerable ability, such as his nephew Carter Eisner.

Carter, you did a very good job! Sitting behind the desk, Michael Eisner looked at his nephew, Have courage and determination, don't hesitate when it's time to make a move, and keep going.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Carter not only quickly gained a firm foothold on the touchstone, but also achieved such excellent results. Although everyone thought that Ryan Jenkins was a super genius, many people thought that The Sixth Sense It was a certain accident that it succeeded. Except for Miramax, everyone else was watching. Who would have guessed that his nephew, who had been questioned by many people, would take the initiative and cooperate with him. As for the result, see. Just look at the box office of Home Alone.

Since then, not only have the doubts disappeared completely, and he has completely stabilized his position, even Disney's board of directors is considering whether to increase Carter's rights in live-action film production.

Even though Carter Eisner was proud of himself, he still had a few words of humility in front of his uncle who was turning into a tyrant. Besides, he knew very well that he had defied all opinions and decided on the Home Alone project, but he didn't. It's hard to say what will happen to that boy.

He still remembers what Director Columbus said after the movie was released, Without Ryan, this movie would have been at least half the color! He's a genius, and you don't see a trace of The Sixth Sense in Kevin.

Carter, have a good relationship with Ryan Jenkins. When he was about to leave the office, Michael Eisner urged a few more words, We don't want to take all his works, but we must let him work in When I come up with a new idea, the first thing that comes to my mind is Disney!”

Back at the office at Touchstone Pictures, Carter Eisner sat in the boss chair, thinking of the experience after the movie was released to the present, like a dream.

The total investment of 18 million US dollars has now returned to the box office of nearly 250 million US dollars, and there is still a period of time before the movie is released. If you are lucky enough, maybe you can surpass The Sixth Sense and become the annual film. Box office champion.

You must know that this is only the North American box office. Since the film landed in Europe and the Far East in December last year, the box office has also been booming. He has no doubt that the overseas box office figures will not be much less than those in North America.

Even if the final compensation paid to Ryan Jenkins will certainly exceed 8 million US dollars, no one will deny that this is a very good deal. The pure profit now is almost equal to the sum of the profits of Disney's other movies last year, and The other giants have long been red-eyed.

Hollywood is so big, it's hard to hide any troubles from insiders. He has heard that major film companies are eyeing Ryan Jenkins' other works and are lobbying for him and the two people closest to him.

Thinking of this, Carter not only admired Harvey Weinstein's vision, but frankly, he was just picking up people's teeth.

At best, it's just a little more courageous than others.

But Harvey Weinstein was different. Back then, when the boy returned to Los Angeles from London, he was just a nobody. Even though his works had already entered the bestseller lists in the United States, no one knew he was the author. Under these circumstances, Weinstein resolutely believed his whims, bought the script of The Sixth Sense, and insisted that he and his guardian act in person, so Miramax got a huge reward, and then its status in Hollywood today.

Some people may say that Miramax discovered Ryan Jenkins, but in his opinion, the opposite is true. It was Ryan Jenkins who made Miramax what he is today. You know, The Sixth Sense The original version of the script has long been spread in Hollywood, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely buy this excellent script.

Besides, as long as Ryan Jenkins takes the stage as a teenage writer, will the problems that plague newcomers still be a problem?

Carter Eisner sighed. In fact, he was also very jealous, looking at Miramax.

Ryan Jenkins is obviously a nostalgic and handed over to Miramax for the third installment, a movie starring Nicole Kidman that will be released on Valentine's Day if the box office hits again Over 100 million, that will establish his position in the screenwriting industry.

More than that, how much did Miramax get on the Sixth Sense movie? It is said that the overseas box office is infinitely close to 200 million US dollars, and more than 30 million cassettes have been sold in North America!

Oh, God! As long as he thinks of these data, he can't wait to go back in time to two years ago, even if he swam across the Atlantic, he would go to London to sign Ryan Jenkins to Disney.

Do not! It is to sign up to his own banner and make himself his agent. Look at that woman, Pie Jinsley. Because of his banner, she has become one of the hottest agents in Hollywood.

Just be realistic! Carter opened a report, which is an authoritative organization's investigation summary of major Hollywood film companies last year, and in a sense, is also an important reference for the company's investment and operation.

After flipping through a few pages, he couldn't sit still. He took Ryan Jenkins' information and read it over and over again. This boy has now become the focus of the media, no less than any Hollywood A-list star, and his whereabouts are even greater. It is the top priority of the paparazzi.

Of course, Touchstone has been in close contact with Pie Kingsley, knowing that he followed the Terminator 2 crew to New Mexico, and is said to have suffered quite a bit while filming the action scenes.

He talked to Nicole Kidman at a cocktail party a few days ago. I remember she mentioned that she was going to visit a class in New Mexico recently. This was an opportunity.

As for reasons and excuses, there's always going to be one, isn't it?

...

On a section of wasteland highway in New Mexico, several kilometers of lights lit up the night sky. A huge crew of hundreds of people was busy. James Cameron stood on a makeshift high platform and used a loudspeaker. Constantly directing the deployment of various departments.

In the trailer that served as the dressing room, Ryan leaned against the door, watching the makeup artist smear Schwarzenegger's face, and couldn't help laughing, Arnold, you look like a moldy potato!

Potatoes? Schwarzenegger straightened his expression. Have you seen such a strong potato?

Okay, Ryan, don't make trouble here, as if it can't be done on time, James should get angry again. The makeup artist showed a please smile.

Okay then, I'll go out first. The boy shrugged and got out of the trailer, looking at the long lights outside, unable to see his head.

What is going to be filmed here is the final highway chase scene in the film. The original plan of the crew was to rent a section of the highway from Los Angeles to Long Beach, and the state government agreed.

But the change is faster than the plan. After entering the new year, the California state government overturned the previous agreement. The crew had no choice but to move the location to New Mexico to shoot on a desert highway.

It's rare that James Cameron didn't get angry, but thinking about the cost that was nearly half cheaper and the unlimited road closure time at night, you can actually understand.

This climax scene is definitely a big deal. Not only did the cars and helicopters mobilize together, and more than 800 people participated in the shooting, but also because of the night scene shooting, the props team pulled more than ten kilometers of cables to illuminate the road with bright lights. .

It's not an easy task to coordinate a big scene. After watching so many movies in his previous life, in Ryan's eyes, James Cameron, Stephen Spielberg and Fatty New Zealand are undoubtedly the ones who have the strongest control over the big scene.

Ryan pulled the bolt of the M16. This prop gun is no different from the real gun in appearance, but it is much lighter in weight. In the next shot, Linda will use it to shoot against the T1000.

Scene 32, Act 56, start!

Sarah Connor hid behind the door of the box-type police car and engaged in a fierce shootout with the T1000, which shook violently.

It seems a little crazy, but in fact it just stayed in place. The fire explosion on the scene was just a small fireball. Those dazzling effects in the movie were almost all added in post-production.

In this set of shots, Ryan is completely soy sauce, huddled in the corner of the police box, carrying two Kevlar body armor in his retracted hands to prevent them from slipping off his body.

This kind of action scene, despite adequate protective measures, accidents will always happen inadvertently.

When Linda Hamilton flashed from the back of the car door and shot, she used too much force and accidentally fell out of the car, knocking her knees on the door hard, making a dong sound.

The closest to her was Ryan. He jumped up and jumped out of the carriage. He saw the cold sweat on the woman's aching face, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Doctor! Come here, someone's hurt! the boy shouted to the crew.

Several people, including Cameron, rushed over in an instant. The doctor equipped by the crew quickly checked Linda and breathed a sigh of relief, It should not hurt any bones.

Half an hour break!

James Cameron shouted aloud, then leaned over to Linda, looking like a good lover.
