Chapter 66: The Terminator

Whether it's Ron Meyer, George Lucas, or Steven Spielberg, they are all a group of people standing at the top of Hollywood, Nicole Kidman is just a new actress, even if Jodie Foster is added, it may not make them smile.

This circle is glamorous, and at the same time this circle is realistic, as long as it can create value for them, they don't mind whether the object of dealing with God or Satan is.

Of course, Steven Spielberg's face was somewhat unnatural, as if he had been dragged hard.

Sitting in the screening room, Ryan was still thinking about the conversation he had just had with the three giants, and it was clear that they had approached Nicole Kidman for him, not her.

In fact, several major film companies, including Universal Pictures, have been eager to move on the film adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park", even if Ryan used the special effects Jishu to make it difficult to produce lifelike dinosaurs as an excuse, let Kingsley release the news, saying that he would not consider selling the adaptation rights for the time being, and it could not reduce the enthusiasm of these film companies.

It's no surprise that George Lucas would be standing there, he is the head of ILM, he controls the top special effects production company in Hollywood, and the special effects of "Terminator 2" are outsourced to them, and I am afraid that no one is more confident than him to be able to produce real dinosaurs on the big screen.

Just looking at Spielberg's expression, and then thinking about the series of events that happened around "Jurassic Park" in his previous life, Ryan scratched his head a little, there is no doubt that Spielberg can make the movie thrilling and full of childlike fun.

But judging from Ryan's observations, it is clear that the Jewish director's mind is not on this.

I wonder if the conversation between Spielberg and Universal Pictures in the previous life has happened now?

Ryan can't remember whether his previous life was in '91 or '92, Universal Pictures invited Spielberg to direct "Jurassic Park", but he repeatedly refused, driven by profits, Universal Pictures used a killer feature, promising to invest in "Schindler's List" as long as he directed the movie.

Spielberg worked for "Schindler's List" for nearly a decade, and there were countless changes in the middle, with many people claiming that instead of making such a film, it would be better to donate the money to the Holocaust memorial, and after entering the 90s, Spielberg finally decided to direct it himself, but could not attract investment.

It is conceivable that Universal Pictures directly took his life, so Spielberg had the funds to prepare for the start of filming after directing "Jurassic Park".

But Universal's move can be regarded as a big rift in the relationship between the two sides, and it also made Spielberg's idea of establishing a film company stronger, and to some extent, indirectly promoted the birth of DreamWorks.

Of course, what happened in it is so complicated that it is definitely not as simple as Ryan knew in his previous life, and perhaps only God knows what happened between them.

If you sell the adaptation rights to another film company, will all this change? Will Schindler's List drag on indefinitely? That's not fun.

While Schindler's List has a lot of glorification of Oskar Schindler, it's undeniably one of the greatest films in history, even if it's about Jews.

Forget it, let the villains continue to let Universal Pictures do it, they can't get into trouble with Spielberg, and, in a broad sense, they belong to the same side.

However, why do you have to cut a big piece of cake, after all, now you have the initiative, and the copyright of "Jurassic Park" is completely in your own hands.

"Ryan, you're distracted again."

Nicole playfully pinched his ear, and Ryan came back to his senses, only to realize that the lights in the screening room had gone out and the movie was about to start.

Dusty and broken cars, abandoned and collapsed buildings, and skeletons and bones everywhere all show the horror of this shijie, and in this apocalyptic scene, the subtitles show its age - 2029.

The camera pans with Sarah Connor's brief explanation of the shijie, and finally freezes on a pile of gruesome skulls.

Just when the audience gasped for this terrible future, a silver-white alloy foot suddenly fell, trampling the skull into pieces, and then the camera moved up, and a robot in the shape of a bone revealed its full picture, and before the audience could marvel at this terrible mechanical killer, a desperate struggle between man and machine was displayed in front of their eyes.

A skeleton-shaped mechanical killer, a huge mechanical chariot, and even a mechanical body flying in the sky, they have no emotion and reason, they only know crazy killing, and when human beings face them, they can only earn a way to survive by fighting to the death.

With the appearance of John Connor, the leader of the Human Resistance, Sarah Connor's voiceover narration has slowly come to an end, which leads to the next story - Skynet once again sends a mechanical killer back in time to kill the underage John Connor, and the Human Resistance also sends a protector back in time, who will find John Connor first?

"It's very exciting, it's the beginning of the most haode sci-fi film I've ever seen." Nicole leaned into Ryan's ear and whispered.

In this year, the battle between man and machine at the beginning of "Terminator 2", the effect is shocking, representing the most advanced movie jishu in Hollywood today, of course, which is burned out of millions of dollars.

The first character to appear...... No, it should be the robot T800, in the absolute classic soundtrack, coming to the motorcycle rider bar to sweep all directions, the fights here have no beauty, the T800 is like an M1A2 tank, will block everything in his way, all crushed.

Black sunglasses, black leather pants, black prince's motorcycle, and the modified shotgun constitute Arnold Schwarzenegger's most classic movie image, and there is no one!

After the appearance of the villain robot T1000, the future savior made a grand appearance, John Connor, played by Ryan, without the depression in "The Sixth Sense" and the cuteness in "Home Alone", which makes people know at a glance that this is a boy in a rebellious period.

I don't know if anyone has found out that the ugly adoptive father is James Cameron's cameo. Ryan tilted his head and didn't see the tyrant director.

Undoubtedly, the most ruined image in the movie is Linda Hamilton, she looks too thick and wild in the film than she looks in reality, as someone commented in her previous life, the women James Cameron admires the most are tall and powerful royal sisters.

The highlight of the fight in this drama lies in the fight between T800 and T1000, especially T1000, when he was blasted out of silver-white wounds by T800 in the corridor of the commercial building, the identity of the liquid robot began to appear.

Cameron also took Ryan's advice and replaced it with the sound of the shotgun and the roar of the cannon fire, which was also exceptionally good.

The hand-to-hand combat carried out by T800 and T1000 is not fancy, not fast, and not beautiful, but it shows the incomparably strong body and powerful liliang of the mechanical killer, and the unusually strong building walls are as fragile as tofu scum under their impact.

In the chase scene that followed, the crew once argued about whether John Connor should shoot with a gun, you know, in the eyes of the Teachers' Parents Association and the MPAA, the shooting of minors with guns in movies is one of the most terrifying scenes, which will have an extremely bad social impact.

If this kind of scene appears in a movie, which is even worse than full nudity, the MPAA is likely to rate the movie as NC-17, that is, it is forbidden to watch it under the age of 17, then "Terminator 2" will definitely lose money.

Zuihou, James Cameron just used the plot of having John Connor reload.

Ryan himself doesn't know much about American movie classification, and after experiencing this time, he also studied it specifically, and couldn't help but think of "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", if it is placed in North America, it is definitely ......

Although James Cameron is a commercial director who rarely considers art in his films, he is indeed a master storyteller, and this film combines science fiction and philosophical thinking so perfectly.

This is best seen in John Connor and the T800, when Sarah Connor wanted to destroy the T800's CPU, John did not hesitate to use his own hands to protect his CPU, and even said to his mother, "He's my friend!" ”

This is also one of Ryan's best performances in the film, his rebellious appearance and innocent and kind heart are vividly interpreted by him, almost stealing the limelight from Linda Hamilton.

In my previous life, there was such a classic line, being a demon is like being a human, you must have a benevolent heart, and you have a benevolent heart.

It's no longer a demon ......

And when a robot has a human heart, what is he? And what will be done? This is also one of the themes expressed in the film.

"Terminator 2" not only has intense gunfights, ruthless killings and frantic chases, but also a heartwarming side, where John Connor forbade T800 to kill humans and teach him to learn human feelings and learn how to smile.

One of the most admired aspects of the T800's premise is that he knows how to learn, is able to understand human feelings, and is not just a cold machine that can only carry out commands.

Frankly speaking, although this is a sci-fi action blockbuster, there are not many special effects shots, but it is extraordinarily brilliant.

From the battle between man and machine at the beginning of the movie, to the deformation and self-healing of the T1000, to Sarah Connor's opening of the T800's head and taking out the CPU and other shots, everything is done very well and is amazing, even if after the past ten years, people may think that these special effects are outdated, but it cannot be denied that it is the most advanced movie jishu in this era.

Of course, all of this has to do with the powerful Industrial Light & Magic, and Stan Winston is now Hollywood's top special effects master, and it was during the production of this film that he became acquainted with Cameron, and later founded the second largest digital field after Industrial Light & Magic.
