Chapter 125: A madman plays a madman

In fact, Ryan said these things, several people here have some understanding, maybe James Cameron will not care about this, after all, he is a pure director and producer, Shirley Lansing and Grant Hill are managers of their respective companies, how can they not know the dynamics of the market.

However, in his previous life, he was engaged in the work of the cinema chain, and when it comes to understanding the Chinese film market, Ryan can throw them off ten streets.

"But they are still poor and backward......"

Ryan directly waved his hand to interrupt Grant Hill's words, "Yes, they are still a little backward now, but have you thought about Grant, they only started to develop in the early 80s, and what has become of them now, they have created an economic miracle, in the next few years, their development will be faster, with money, they naturally need entertainment, you should have watched the Chinese movies introduced by Miramax to North America, do you think they can compete with us?" Do you think the vast majority of viewers like to watch that kind of dull movie? ”

Shirley Lansing and Grant Hill smiled, as professionals who are interested in exploring the Chinese market, they have naturally watched a few films from China, frankly speaking, they are learning European style, as for European films? The entire European market is on the verge of being overwhelmed by Hollywood's big productions.

However, Ryan didn't let them go, and continued, "Think about it, a market of more than a billion people, as long as they can have one percent of them buy tickets, what a huge number! ”

For a moment, both Shirley Lansing and Grant Hill were lost in thought, Ryan's depiction of the future was so fascinating, who wouldn't want to open that market?

"So!" Ryan curled his knuckles and gently tapped the armrest of the chair, "In the movies we made, try to avoid Chinese as villains, if there must be Asian villains, you can choose the first military power in the universe and his fat marshal!" ”

Probably used to joking, the latter words Ryan said without brains, several people were confused, they can understand that for the Chinese market not to let the movie appear Chinese as villains, just like Hollywood for the Japanese and Korean markets, but what is the first military power in the universe? And the fat marshal?

Fortunately, Ryan immediately understood that he had slipped his mouth and explained, "North Korea! ”

Slowly tapping his fingers, Ryan recalled some situations in his previous life, there is no doubt that the boss of Chinese movies is a mountain carving, I don't know if he is a leader now, if Paramount finds the right way, maybe Hollywood blockbusters will enter China in advance.

Sighing softly, he really couldn't remember.

Speaking of which, I have made such a big fuss, just to let the filmmakers over there broaden their horizons in advance, it is inevitable that Hollywood films will enter the mainland, if you can let some people open their eyes earlier, don't hold on to European things all day long, Chinese films may have a different future.

In any case, he was also a part of the industry in his previous life, and although he was at the bottom, he really wanted an Oriental Hollywood to appear, even if he understood that it was an unattainable fantasy.

But after all, the other side of the Pacific has a deep cultural heritage, as long as those people understand what the audience wants to see earlier, maybe they can still resist in the face of Hollywood blockbusters, unlike in the previous life, when Hollywood blockbusters came out, domestic films retreated.

The commercialization of art, like the commercialization of professional sports, cannot be avoided, and only by heading head-on can the gap be narrowed, Ryan can't help but think of the 'DOG' who was a treasure in the film circle in his previous life. MA95's manifesto, he really wanted to ask those people, do you make movies for yourself? Or is it for the audience?

As for 'DOG. MA95's Manifesto, what's that......

In the past life or in this life, Ryan grew up in a cold and indifferent atmosphere, accustomed to seeing the dark side of society, and never thought how noble he was.

This is just a wake-up call for the other side, whether it is right or wrong, useful or not, it can be regarded as an explanation to the soul from the other side.

Of course, that's all, he won't be so stupid as to be unable to distinguish his identity.

After all, he is just a little ghost, and his identity has already determined his position, if some people don't work hard, then don't complain about the market and the audience.

I just need to know what I'm doing and what I care about, and that's enough! Ryan sighed in his heart, putting aside the change of identity, he only had one person he cared about in his previous life, and there are two in this life for the time being, Nicole is one, and Natalie can barely be counted as the other.

The filming of "True Lies" continues, James Cameron is notoriously slow and meticulous, although the surrounding media reporters have disturbed, but his tyrant name has spread all over the circle after "Terminator 2", and under the almost strict regulations, no one dares to break the news to the media.

A few days later, the Pentagon's communications staff came with the good news that the military would provide three Sea Harrier fighters for the film, but they would pay up to $100,000 per plane for appearances.

The sea breeze was blowing, the people on the 'Seven Mile Bridge' that had been empty in the past were boiling, and the crew's equipment trailers and helicopters used for filming were parked nearby.

It was impossible for the crew to shoot on the cross-sea bridge with traffic and traffic, so they could only requisition this abandoned 'Seven Mile' bridge, and James Cameron did not live up to his talent for burning money, not only leased several helicopters, but also made temporary repairs to the gaps deliberately blown out of the bridge.

"Ryan, would you be interested in being my assistant?" In the middle of the crowd, James Cameron patted the camera next to him, as if he was going to go into battle himself.

"No problem." Acting as a temporary assistant anyway, Ryan felt like it wasn't a big deal.

"Jim~Jim~"

Jamie Lee Curtis, who had finished putting on makeup, hurriedly walked over, still a little excited, "Don't use a stand-in? You mean let me go into battle myself......"

Listening to Jamie Lee Curtis's words like a cannon, Ryan roughly understood what was going on, and the next shot was the shot of Schwarzenegger grabbing Jamie Lee Curtis out of danger from a helicopter and flying over the sea, Schwarzenegger's role was naturally completed by a stand-in, but in order to enhance the sense of realism, Cameron asked Curtis himself to play.

This...... It's crazy, Jamie Lee Curtis is one of Hollywood's most popular actresses, and James Cameron can completely refuse this kind of request.

However, something unexpected happened.

Jamie Lee Curtis pointed to his chin and asked James Cameron, "What are you going to do when I'm hanging in mid-air?" ”

"I'll lean out of the cabin and take a picture of you with a handheld camera!" As if to strengthen his tone, Cameron also patted the camera next to him.

Obviously, this sentence was beyond everyone's expectations, and Jamie Lee Curtis was stunned for a moment and confirmed, "Really? ”

"Really!" In order to strengthen his persuasion, Cameron pointed over, "Jamie, Ryan will be my assistant, you should be satisfied, right?" ”

"Good! I did it! ”

Jamie Lee Curtis agreed without hesitation.

"Wait...... Wait......" Ryan reacted, as if he had been forcibly pulled onto a thief ship by James Cameron.

"Hey, Ryan, you're not going to regret it, are you?" Cameron blocked it with a word.

Back? I didn't even know if I was going to shoot in a helicopter? Ryan understands, he usually digs a pit by himself and waits for others to jump, but today Cameron dug a pit and waited for him to jump down, but he jumped down stupidly.

Although he has been unconsciously away from possible danger since he was reborn, he still disdains such a thing in public, and after communicating with another Cameron security assistant, he changed into a safety suit and got into a helicopter with a beard carrying a camera.

"Check your seat belts!" The pilot reminded loudly.

"No problem!" Ryan gave a thumbs up to the front and made an OK gesture to George below.

The sound of the propellers hummed and the whirring wind raged everywhere, and Ryan looked out the window to see the plane slowly off the ground and rising towards the sky.

"Ready! Get ready! ”

The security assistant uses a megaphone to alert the stuntmen and Jamie Lee Curtis underneath the plane.

"Ah~"

As the helicopter flew off the bridge and over the sea, the signature scream of the Screaming Queen reached Ryan's ears, and he deflected to look down.

Jamie Lee Curtis is like a humanoid gourd, hanging under the helicopter, at this time there is no need for acting skills, the strong wind brought by the propeller, the blowing seawater, constantly falling on her body, even if she has been filming horror movies for a long time, but it is inevitable to scream in panic.

"Left! Left! ”

James Cameron takes every detail to the extreme, constantly reminding the pilot to fine-tune the direction so that he can get the best angle for the shot.

"Ryan, do you want to try?"

In the buzzing noise, James Cameron's playful voice came, and Ryan refused loudly without even thinking about it, "I'll be your assistant." ”

Then, I added in my heart, I'll just make soy sauce, and you should do the dangerous things.

“OK! That's all, keep flying as you are! ”

In a way, some movie actors and directors are crazy, like the two that Ryan met today.

James Cameron quickly adjusted his seat belt, leaned out of the cabin with most of his body, and while holding the handheld camera in one hand, he kept gesturing to Jamie Lee Curtis with the other hand to remind her that filming was about to begin.

It's just that the camera doesn't want to die! Ryan's eyes widened, if it weren't for those seat belts, Cameron would have been 200 percent off the plane and into the ocean.

As a precaution, Ryan and the safety assistant grabbed the buckle on Cameron's safety suit and pulled the guy if something really happened.

This...... It's really an industry where crazy people act, crazy people shoot, and countless crazy people are waiting!
