Chapter 208: Poisoning

In order to fit the plot conceived by Ryan and strengthen the realism of the movie, back last year, James? Cameron invited sailors, scientists, photographers and historians from the United States, Russia and Canada to organize 12 dives to get a close-up look at the sinking ship.

During this period, the crew rented the world's largest deep-sea research ship - Russia's Keldish Academy - and relied on the help of two submarine Mir on board to film the wreck of the Titanic.

Ryan commissioned Yahoo to produce several websites about diving and the Titanic shipwreck, using the catastrophe itself as one of the main means of promotion.

After entering mid-May, the actors were in place one after another, and the news that the crew was about to start filming also spread back to North America, and a large number of reporters and paparazzi flocked to the site, and the tidal flat of Rosario immediately became the focus of entertainment media.

The news that Ryan and several other film companies jointly invested $220 million to create an epic masterpiece about the shipwreck of the Titanic has long been spread, and the huge model ship towering in the beach tank is even more powerful evidence that cannot be blocked.

Like all successful people, Ryan and Cameron have their own aura, and there are many media outlets who believe that they will continue to be successful in the same way as the previous two collaborations.

Similarly, many media have raised doubts, after all, the $220 million filming budget has once again made James? Cameron has set a new Hollywood record, and some people with bad intentions have been waiting to see Ryan's jokes.

"Instead of risking a huge amount of 220 million to make a film that I don't know what to say, it would be more meaningful to donate it to a charitable organization." Is this that Gary? What Graham said in his column.

This orthodox descendant of the self-proclaimed Mayflower immigrants has always been against Ryan? Jenkins' Vanguard.

No matter what the media reports, this film is impossible to stop, to this day. The crew has spent a huge amount of $150 million on preliminary preparations, and even if the other three parties withdraw their funds, Ryan will support the project alone.

After the arrival of the main actors, Ryan also came to Rosario with a full-time etiquette coach hired from England, the strict coach who had taught him back then, and who would teach the actors the etiquette of high society in 1912 for the next period of time.

Ryan vs. Jon? Landau and James? The Cameron trio formed the core of the crew, with James? Cameron is the main one, and Ryan and Ryan are responsible for checking and filling in the gaps and putting forward some personal opinions in a timely manner. Strive to do the best in every detail.

"There is never a perfect movie in this world, we just try to make Titanic as close to perfection as possible!" Ryan had said this to the other two.

In order to devote himself to the filming of this movie, Ryan even temporarily threw away the script writing that would not stop every day, the movie was great enough in the previous life, and the present life was changed to his hands, so it will naturally become even greater.

After nearly two and a half years of preliminary preparation, the crew finally officially announced the start of filming in late May, and the first thing to shoot was the scene of elderly Ruth, Gloria? Stewart is in his eighties. It's impossible to stay in Mexico for long.

The crew once again leased the Keldish Academy research ship from Russia, and dozens of crew members, including Ryan, boarded the world's most advanced ocean-going research vessel.

There's no Ryan here, and he's on James' side most of the time? Behind Cameron, watch how the on-set tyrant mobilizes the entire team. and the angry roar that rang out from him at that time.

Ryan doesn't remember where he saw that with personal success there must be a growing temper, and now James? Cameron has twice as much temper compared to when he filmed "Terminator 2". Usually he is a kind person, but when he sits in the director's chair, he will immediately complete a transformation.

He's too irritable! Here's Ryan's personal summary.

“Cut!” Just shouted the start. Cameron called a halt.

He walked back and forth in the cabin, furious, "Leo, what have you done?" I want an orange light filter, what is it now? How many times have you made a mistake today? We've wasted our time and money on you......"

James? Cameron's words were like cannonballs, and he frantically struck at one of the members of the film crew, and in the empty front cabin of the research ship, only his voice was stirring back.

As Cameron said, this is not the first time that the assistant cinematographer has made a mistake, and the director naturally can't tolerate this kind of thing because of one person's mistake and dragging down the entire crew.

"That's it for today!"

Looked at the time, James? Cameron announced that filming is temporarily over.

"What the hell is going on?" Ryan walked over to the camera, Russell? Carpenter is one of Hollywood's most famous photographers, so how could his men make low-level mistakes one after another?

"Leo only joined our team last month." Russell? Carpenter was a little embarrassed, "The few times I worked before, he showed a very good professionalism, who knows......"

He spread his hands helplessly.

It turned out to be a newcomer! Ryan patted him on the shoulder, ready to go over and persuade James? Cameron said a few words, this guy is still losing his temper, and it seems that he is not ready to eat dinner.

"Ryan, Nicole's call." George walked over with a satellite phone.

"So be it, James." Ryan took the call and walked out of the cabin and along the side of the ship towards the stern.

"That's great news, Nicole, I thought you were going to be in Scotland."

"Island Cry" has finally been closed, which is much longer than the scheduled filming time.

"That's not what you should be saying right now, my dear." Nicole's voice was visibly tired, "Where are you, why is the wind so strong?" ”

"At sea." Ryan briefly described the current environment, "On the high seas near Baja California. ”

"Hmm...... I'll be back in Los Angeles right away, and I'll take a temporary vacation when I get back, and I'll go to Mexico to visit your class. ”

"That's great, Nicole, you know what, I miss you." Ryan heard footsteps, and looked back at George not far behind.

"Honey, I miss you too." Even if it's on the phone. Ryan could also hear the affection in Nicole's words.

"Then come and see me sooner." Ryan lowered his voice, "Nicole, I want to hold you......"

Ryan ......

In addition to the sound of the wind at both ends of the satellite phone, only the sound of breathing remained, and the two did not say a word, but they could clearly feel each other's hearts, and the distance of tens of thousands of miles could not block the two hearts that were getting closer and closer.

"That's it, Ryan, will you wait for me in Mexico?"

"I will definitely wait for you. Nicole, no matter when. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ryan realized that before he knew it, he had walked to the restaurant at the stern of the boat, which was quiet and there was no one in sight.

Now that he is here, Ryan is not ready to return to the front cabin, anyway, it is about to start, and the crew will come here for dinner in ten minutes at most.

Walk to the large window on the side of the dining room. Ryan looked through the thick glass, and the long metal table was already filled with all kinds of buffets, and the steaming heat was bubbling on the other side. It should be an indispensable seafood soup for every meal after boarding.

Ryan half-turned, just about to leave the window and walk around the side passage into the dining room, but the corner of his eye keenly caught a figure.

That person was the one who was killed by James? Leo who washes his face with Cameron's saliva. He entered the dining room through a side door, quickly walked over to the seafood bisque, and took out a delicate little bottle. Unscrew the cap and spill something into the soup.

What is he doing? Ryan didn't think about it, so he gestured to George not far away, and George rushed to the main entrance of the restaurant like a cheetah, and didn't forget to glance through the window.

Ryan also quickly followed, and when he rushed to the door of the restaurant, he heard what seemed to be a scream and a loud noise coming from inside, and when he entered the restaurant, he saw that George had already subdued the guy and was picking up the bottle with a white handkerchief.

"Hair ...... Did something happen? "A chef ran from the kitchen into the dining room.

"Call the ship's security staff, and also notify Director Cameron." Ryan said quickly.

"Good...... Good. "These chefs are specially hired by the crew, so they naturally understand the weight of Ryan's words.

"Let go of me, let go of me!"

Although the guy's hands were tied with a belt behind George's back, he was still struggling unwillingly, "You guys are illegally detained!" I will file a lawsuit in court! ”

"Lawsuit?" A mocking smile tugged at Ryan's lips, not to mention what this guy had done, but it was the open sea away from the coastline.

"Ryan! Ryan! ”

Dense footsteps could be heard outside the restaurant and James? Cameron shouted anxiously, and he was relieved to see Ryan standing there intact until he entered the dining room.

Even today, James? Cameron still remembers what happened during the filming of "Terminator 2", just because Ryan was slightly injured, Nicole? Kidman's crazy woman actually had a big fight with him, although he was not afraid of her, but who wanted to face a hysterical woman.

"What the hell is going on?" Cameron looked at Leo, who was lying on the ground, and then at George, who was stepping on him.

"I was passing by the restaurant and happened to see this Mr. Leo adding this stuff to our seafood soup......" Ryan gestured to the bottle that George had wrapped in a white handkerchief.

"This is phencyclidine!" George spoke, "It's a central nervous system hallucinogen, and the amount he added is enough to poison more than 50 people, and the severe ones may cause cardiac arrest." ”

"What?"

The people who arrived, including Cameron, glared at the guy on the ground.

"George was right." The doctor is a necessary person for every crew, he glanced at it and sniffed it again, "It's phencyclidine, which is a second-level drug." (To be continued......)

PS: Note ...... While filming on the research ship, someone in the camera team poisoned 50 people, including Cameron, and was hospitalized, which is a real incident.
