Chapter 417: Donkey Barking

After the separation, Ryan was going to New Zealand to continue working as King Eliza, while Nicole was going back to Chicago to complete the rest of "100% of Men", and the two simply lived on Oahu for a few days, hiding most of the time on the set of Pearl Harbor to avoid reporters on the beach.

Here, Ryan gets a thorough glimpse of the ambition of the DreamWorks Triumvirate, who buys six scrapped small warships.

To create the most spectacular and thrilling air raid scenes, Michael? Bay decided to detonate the six ships with 700 stick explosives, 2,000 feet of detonation cord and 4,000 gallons of gasoline.

Director Michael? With 12 widescreen cameras, one of which he personally directed, the scene, which was built by 30 stuntmen, 90 extras, nine planes, a camera ship and countless special effects technicians, took just over ten seconds in the planning process, but it took countless financial resources and time.

And the explosion shell also showed his attainment in explosions, and this huge scene was carried out at the same time, and all the plans were planned without any mistakes.

"Michael is an absolute genius when it comes to photographing explosions."

Standing on the side of the top of the chartered yacht, after the smoke of the explosion completely cleared, Ryan put down his binoculars and said to Nicole standing beside him, "But when it comes to handling emotional dramas, he is not even second-rate." ”

"You think this movie is going to go wrong." Nicole could understand Ryan's voiceover.

"You've read some of the scripts these days, right?"

After Nicole nodded, Ryan continued, "Since this movie is named Pearl Harbor, it is best described as a war epic, but what I saw in the script is how the Japanese sneak attack acts as a foil for an American love triangle......

"Ryan, in this case, let's just talk about it in private." Nicole reminded him very seriously, "Although you have a good relationship with Stephen. But we still have a competitive relationship with DreamWorks. ”

"Of course I know what to say and what not to say." Ryan made a reassuring gesture, "Besides, with Stephen as a producer, this movie may not be what I thought." ”

Who can say for sure what is going on in the world, maybe Michael? Bei's inspiration exploded, and he will make a classic war masterpiece.

"However, when I met Michael this time, I felt that he was a little bit different from before." Nicole had been talking to Bang Bei for a while the other day.

"Success brings self-confidence or inflatability."

When it comes to Exploding Bay, Ryan thinks of Transformers. He held the adaptation rights in his hands early, but this series is Michael? Bei's life-saving work, if he still suffered two major failures in a row like in his previous life.

Of course, failures also bring experiences and lessons.

Such a popcorn masterpiece is the most suitable for Exploding Shell, Ryan's plan, the first choice of future directors is him, the charm of "Transformers" lies in the love and killing of Optimus Prime and Megatron. A good friend from Cybertron to Earth, the story plot or something, as long as the logic can make sense.

Otherwise, would Optimus Prime be plunged into darkness and struggle. Rediscover yourself? Few Transformers fans will like it.

In fact, maintaining the status of Optimus Prime and Megatron as the protagonists will be bought by a considerable number of viewers, even if the North American market is weak. He can also go to the other side of the Pacific to make money, but he knows that this series has influenced an entire generation on the other side.

The movie only needs to grasp one theme, the Autobots in order to protect the earth. It's a fight with the Decepticons! The sequel is that even though it was betrayed by humans, the Autobots still fought with the Decepticons in order to protect the earth! The third episode is for the needs of the box office, the director and the audience, and the Autobots will continue to fight the Decepticons!

As for Optimus Prime and Megatron, the two popular kings, they can be resurrected when they die, and they can continue to fight when they are resurrected.

In cartoons and toy models, both sides have such famous characters, and each episode pulls a few out to start playing, and then in addition to the protagonist, the others can be hung up or changed, so the biggest advantage is to promote the sales of peripheral products.

Thinking of peripheral products, Ryan realized that he was a little negligent, the majority of the profits of this series, the copyright of the toy model is in the hands of Hasbro.

"George."

Ryan called out to Mr. Bodyguard and whispered a few words to him, and George dialed the encrypted satellite phone.

Probably seeing that Ryan had a job to deal with, Nicole simply went back to the cabin to change into a swimsuit and went to swim in the back of the yacht.

Ryan picked up the binoculars and looked at the war scenes being filmed in the distance from time to time, and from time to time looked at the beautiful women swimming in the sea like mermaids, which was a lot of fun.

About half an hour later, George brought a fax from Los Angeles with the latest situation at Hasbro.

Completely different from Ryan's imagination, the toy manufacturers that used to be almost on a par with Mattel are not in a good situation now, in 97, they signed a toy sales agreement with Lucasfilm for "The Phantom Menace", but what they didn't expect was that after the movie was released, the sales of peripheral products were far from the expected goal, and Hasbro invested a lot of money, and the cost has not been recovered until now.

Maybe next year, Hasbro can also make one of its own goals?

Whether it's the Harry Potter series or animated films from several animation studios, toys and dolls are involved, and if you can connect more closely with Hasbro, the benefits will be completely different.

There are also game characters from Blizzard Entertainment, which can also be made into dolls.

Forget it, Blizzard is going to be sold in its own plan, and if it doesn't pay enough sincerity, how will it exchange for the support of Wall Street Jewish groups in the future?

They have a lot of shares in their hands.

Moreover, sharing benefits with the vampires of Wall Street is a necessary choice, and even the cover classmates have compromised with them, can I fight against them?

Cooperation is the right path, and those who do not know how to cooperate and share have long been eliminated into the old paper pile of history.

"George, remember to inform Scott and keep an eye on Hasbro."

…………

When the holidays come to an end, Ryan sends Nicole off and returns to Queenstown, New Zealand.

"Peter, I swear I won't leave New Zealand until the scene in Aragon is over!" Meet Peter? On Jackson's first face, Ryan made a pledge.

"Wow, Peter took out the authority of the director, and even Ryan bowed his head." Elias? Wood came out of nowhere, wrapped in messy filaments, and stood next to the camera joking, "I can imagine that Ryan is angry, our budget has been reduced, and everyone on the crew is eating mashed potatoes starting at lunch." ”

"Ilya, what are you doing here?" Ryan pointed to the tightly wrapped filament, and fought back unceremoniously, "Why do you seem to be wearing the biggest condom in the world?" ”

"Hell." Elias? Wood complained to the big fat man in New Zealand, "Peter, can you finish filming the corpse scene quickly?" I'm going crazy. ”

The corpse in his mouth was the terrifying spider.

"Actually, I'm more curious." Sean as Sam? Austin also walked over, "Elijah, how did you solve the problem of going to the bathroom?" ”

Elias? Wood's whole body is densely wrapped and tight, which is indeed curious.

Ryan has just arrived on the set, and according to the plan, it is not his turn to play, more often than not, he is observing, most of the crew's exterior scenes have ended, and now he is shooting more in the studio.

Not long after lunch, Ilya? Wood was freed from the spider silk, and the first thing he did after removing his makeup was to rush into the bathroom with Legolas's swift and nimble skills, causing a burst of laughter.

And then, before the next shot was taken, Peter? Jackson had a donkey pulled into the studio, much to the surprise of most of the actors, including Ryan, who thought he was going to add a temporary role.

But is there a plot about donkeys in The Lord of the Rings?

Countless images flashed through Ryan's mind, and no relevant information was found.

"Hey, that's my important prop, don't freak it out." Peter? Jackson warned the curious cast and crew around him, "This is what I met last time I went to Wellington, and it took a fortune to buy it back from the original owner." ”

"What did you buy it for?" Ryan was very, very curious.

"You'll know right away." Peter? Jackson raised his loud voice, "Everyone's quiet, sound engineer ready, live recording!" ”

And then, something that shocked the eyeballs, every time the donkey barked, Peter? Jackson would have the sound engineer play it back, and the sound effects were almost turned on to the maximum, and the whole studio resounded with the deafening cry of donkeys, attracting many extras outside the studio.

This can be regarded as the biggest spectacle after the filming of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy began.

Gradually, Ryan heard some doorways, and although these voices were not polished in the later stages, they felt more and more familiar to him.

It seems like...... It seemed to be the roar of the flying beasts ridden by the Ringwraith.

Ryan felt that his speculation should be reliable, because the voices were equally ugly.

"You guessed it right, I think the sound of this donkey is the most similar to the sound of a flying beast in my imagination."

When the recording ends, Peter? Jackson confirmed Ryan's conjecture, "I bought it back for a lot of money just to voice the Ringwraith's mount." ”

"All right, Peter." Ryan fanned his ear, as if to drive away the amplified donkey's cry, "If you want to record next time, please let me know beforehand, okay?" I'm going to hide in Queenstown. (To be continued......)
