Miami, a famous tourist destination, famous for its beaches, sunshine, islands, and the famous sea-crossing bridge, after entering June, with the official announcement of the start of the "True Lies" crew, it has become the focus of the entertainment industry, even if it is a few blockbusters released in the summer, it can only be dwarfed.

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

In the early '90s, this number was so staggering that even a film giant like Twentieth Century Fox couldn't afford it alone, and they brought in Paramount Pictures to share the huge investment.

The cast is extravagant, with the script written by Ryan Jenkins, James Cameron, who has established himself as a master, in the lead, action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger in the male lead, screaming queen Jamie Lee Curtis in the female lead, and the former husband and wife duo of Anne Hurd and James Cameron once again serving as the producer.

Unprecedented investment, luxurious production lineup, and crazy hype from the two major film companies since the establishment of the project are difficult not to attract people's attention.

Before heading into July, Ryan left New York on a plane and arrived in the famous seaside city.

"Hi Jim, Arnold, it's been a long time."

Ryan greeted two acquaintances and quickly glanced at the set, many of whom knew each other, either important members of Cameron's team, or famous actors or producers.

For example, screaming queen Jamie Lee Curtis, this movie in her previous life can be called her pinnacle, especially that dance, which is absolutely amazing.

and Twentieth Century Fox's production manager Grant Hill, James Cameron's ex-wife Anne Hurd...... No, it should be said that it is an ex-ex-wife, at the end of last year, Cameron and Catherine Biroger officially divorced, and Linda Hamilton went public**.

However, to Ryan's surprise, this guy is obviously very good at women, not only has he always maintained a friend relationship with Anne Hurd, even Catherine Biroger who was ** has not many complaints, and it is said that he also maintains a normal relationship with the bearded man.

In addition to his strange aesthetics, which is unflattering, Ryan still admires this guy's methods, and if he wants to ask him for advice?

This is a makeshift studio, and the model of the Sea Harrier fighter in the middle is particularly conspicuous, which is a real model made on a one-to-one scale.

"Hello, Ryan, I'm Katherine Isabelle, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Led by an agent, a little brown-haired girl came to him and introduced herself.

"Hello, Miss Isabel."

Since Brad Pitt became popular with half the sky in the recent period, more and more actors have begun to come to him, Ryan knows that this is the norm in the circle, and there is nothing he can do, he can't let George stop everyone.

"Ryan, just call me Kate."

As if by magic, the little girl took out her autograph book and pen and handed them over.

sighed in her heart, now the little girl has so many thoughts? Ryan finished writing the greetings, returned the notebook, and asked casually, "Kate, which role did you play?" ”

"Huh?" Catherine Isabel was stunned for a moment, then said, "Dana, Mr. Schwarzenegger's daughter. ”

"Dana?" Ryan glanced at her, huh...... A little sympathy.

This female character doesn't have many scenes, but it's very important, especially with a lot of action scenes, with James Cameron's character, she will definitely not use a stand-in, and she will have to play in person at that time, and bumps and bumps will definitely be indispensable.

Thinking of the treatment when he starred in "Terminator 2", Ryan shook his head, he was still a man with his dexterity, and he had a lot of minor injuries, this girl ......

"Well, Kate, I'm waiting to see your wonderful show." Ryan was going to take his leave.

"Really? I'm going to do my best. The little girl was clearly excited.

Unconsciously, many people have changed their lives because of me! Ryan sighed slightly, he remembered very clearly that in his previous life, it was Elisa Dushku who played Dana, a famous child star in Hollywood, but now he has been replaced by this little girl named Catherine Isabel, which is really interesting.

"True Lies" is the beginning of China's imported Hollywood blockbusters, a landmark film on the other side of the Pacific, Ryan still remembers that he didn't have much interest in movies at the beginning of his previous life, especially the great films that the school organized to watch, and sometimes he really wanted to vomit.

Later, by chance, he saw "True Lies", like most Chinese people in that era, which can only be described in two words - shock!

It turns out that the movie can still be made like this, it turns out that the protagonist in the movie is not only Wei Guangzheng, but also has a sinister side, it turns out that Arab brothers are often linked to terrorism, and it turns out that a firewood girl can become a fashionable beauty by rubbing a few handfuls of water on her hair.

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

Except for chatting with a few acquaintances, Lala relationship, Ryan mostly watched the filming in silence, although the script was written by him, but James Cameron had already been granted permission to change it, most of the people here were busy, and there were really few idlers like him.

"Hi, Ryan."

"Hello, Shirley." Ryan got up from his seat and shook hands with the middle-aged woman who had come over.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, you're so tall." Shirley Lansing sighed, if you don't look at the other party's childish face and judge your age only by talking, most people in the circle will probably think of him as an adult.

This woman is a veritable strong woman, and Ryan remembers very well that as long as there are no big surprises, Shirley Lansing will become the head of Paramount Pictures next year or the year after, and become one of the most powerful women in Hollywood in the next decade.

The two chatted for a few words, and the conversation quickly turned to the movie.

"Nowadays, film investment is getting bigger and bigger, and once there is an accident, the production company will inevitably break the bones, and cooperative investment will become a trend." Shirley Lansing's words clearly have something else, "There are also theaters, and the number of theaters in which a movie is released will have a decisive impact on profits." ”

"That's right!" Ryan nodded in agreement, and his words also had a vague meaning, "Only benefit sharing can reduce investment risks." ”

Shirley Lansing also smiled, he was not very old, but he was as smart as the rumors, "Ryan, Mr. Lei Shidong asked me to bring greetings, Viacom can be your partner in the future, if Jenkins Pictures has a need in theaters, you can speak." ”

Americans don't pay attention to subtlety, the exchange of interests is the exchange of interests, there is nothing difficult to say, Viacom is an out-and-out media giant, no less than News Corp., it is clear that they intend to get a foot in the film industry.

"Definitely." Ryan thought for a moment and asked directly, "I heard that Mr. Summer-Leshidong is interested in buying Paramount?" ”

This sentence is to pretend to be confused, and well-informed people in the circle have long known that Viacom is constantly raising funds and preparing to forcibly buy Paramount Pictures, and it faces a strong competitor.

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

As long as the works continue to generate benefits, there will be more and more film companies that show favor to him, after all, all major film companies know that Jenkins Films is an empty shell, and Ryan Jenkins's ambitions are not on it, and there is not much conflict of interest with them.

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

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

"Yes." It's no secret that Paramount is not alone in wanting to tap into that market, "Actually, we are in the process of establishing an office in Beijing. ”

Shirley Lansing asked with a little curiosity, "Are you interested in China?" ”

"Actually, when I was at Norton Welfare Home, I studied the language with several Chinese Americans, and in recent years, if I have time, I will also study their culture." Ryan casually panicked, "Shirley, can you do a little favor, let your staff over there mail some Chinese entertainment magazines every month, preferably with national influence." ”

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

"China? When did you become interested in China? ”

Probably as the crew finished filming, James Cameron and Grant Hill came over, "Okay, I know you know Chinese, but what do you want Chinese entertainment magazines for?" Do you want to go there to develop? ”

Ryan pouted, going over there to develop, what's the joke? The entertainment industry over there is even darker than Hollywood.

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

"I want to hear about it."

The one who can say such things must be James Cameron, who has always liked to make things difficult for him.

Ryan tapped his fingers lightly, roughly organized the language, and said, "Jim, since the market in Eastern Europe opened, our films have grown a lot at the global box office, and many movies have outperformed the North American box office overseas, do you know how many people 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 film market is immature, lack of enough movie-going people, but the market is cultivated, we can cooperate with them, with enough excellent films, to cultivate that market mature. ”
