Chapter 207: How Money Is Burned

PS: Today's four watches!

Several large thick suitcases were sent into the luggage compartment of the plane by the staff, and Ryan and George got into the cabin one after another. Cameron is chatting about something with a busty actress.

This woman is none other than Kate? Winslet.

Does this belong to James? Cameron's private business jet will carry the group to Rosario, Mexico, targeting the crew of the big ship.

"Ryan, you're always the last one."

After Ryan and the two sat across from him, James? Cameron shook his finger.

"I'm sorry, Jim." Ryan just smiled, not embarrassed, "I have a little more luggage, and it's more troublesome to pack." ”

"I see it." Cameron pointed out the window and teased, "Ryan, you really suspect you're moving." ”

"Moving?" Ryan unceremoniously fought back, "If I move, I'll fill every inch of the plane." ”

"Why don't you buy a plane of your own, I remember you're sixteen." Cameron deliberately squeezed his eyes.

"I ......" Ryan patted his forehead, "I forgot, okay, Jim, thank you for the reminder, can I borrow your plane for my future trips?" ”

"You're stingy." James? Cameron made a pun, "It seems that there are not many actors in Hollywood who are richer than you, right?" ”

"Come on, Jim." Ryan naturally understood what he meant, "I said, the matter of additional budget will be considered." ”

Kate? Winslet hasn't figured out what's going on, James? Cameron and Ryan diagonally opposite? Jenkins has already completed a linguistic encounter.

"Excuse me, may I ask what you are talking about?" She asked with some curiosity in the blink.

"Hello, Miss Winslet...... Well, Kate. Ryan reached out and shook her gently, and this is the partner for the next few months.

"Alright. Everyone, fasten your seatbelts and take off soon. "James? Cameron reminded.

James? Cameron's Gulfstream business jet was extremely luxurious inside, and after "True Lies" was removed from North America, Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox exchanged his share for this plane after consulting him.

"Would you like something to drink?"

There was even a flight attendant in this business jet, huh...... Like all the women Cameron admires, a typical tall and powerful royal sister.

"Juice, thank you."

Ryan just picked up the juice, James? Cameron said again. "Ryan, I heard that Marvel Comics took back the rights to Spider-Man's movie?"

"That's right." Ryan nodded, which is no secret in the industry, and waved his hand to stop what the other person wanted to say, "Stop, Jim!" I see what you mean, I just want to ask you, what is your budget if I give you Spider-Man? $200 million or $300 million? Don't tell me it's $100 million. I understand your style. ”

Back a few years ago, James? Cameron is like Ryan who made the suggestion of co-adapting Spider-Man, this guy is a crazy Spider-Man fan.

Actually, after so many years. Ryan vs. James? Cameron still understands that with his temperament, he must be haggard to complete "Titanic", and he will throw away all his work at that time. Go play his diving or documentary.

"Alright then, Ryan." James? Cameron clasped his arms and said deliberately. "I think your acting skills must have regressed, and I'll let you NG a hundred times to find the feeling when shooting."

"Wait, Jim." Ryan cooperated and shrunk his neck, "You're a communiqué for personal vendetta, it's not fair." ”

"If there's any injustice in this world, Ryan? Jenkins' existence is the greatest injustice. "Kate? Winslet's mind was full of thoughts, and she made up a sentence in time.

"Oh God, ...... among you"

Ryan deliberately changed his gaze, going back and forth between Cameron and Winslet.

"Ryan, you're slandering!"

Kate? Winslet also discovered that the genius diagonally opposite, a billionaire with a net worth of more than a billion, should be an easy person to get along with in normal times, and he doesn't mind making some proper jokes.

After the plane landed, Ryan and his party did not go to the hotel, but drove around the city in a car, and went directly to the location of Rosario.

The last time Ryan visited, it was a deserted beach under a small volcano, and now it's a busy dock — albeit fake — bustling with people putting the finishing touches on it.

After getting out of the car, they were greeted by several spacious photo stages, followed by a huge artificial lake and a large ship that looked very real from this side.

It is paired with an early 20th-century pier, and it makes people feel that they are out of place in time and space, and if it weren't for the busy modern machinery around it, you might think you'd be back in the port of Southampton in 1912.

"God, Jim." Even Ryan, after seeing such a real model ship, couldn't help but admire, "You really did it!" The Titanic is right in front of my eyes! ”

"So, Ryan." James? Cameron led the way, and several people walked straight towards the big boat, "Every penny you put in, it goes where it should be spent." ”

"Okay, Jim, is it okay if we don't mention the money today?" Ryan spread his hands helplessly, causing Winslet beside him to laugh.

Along the way, Ryan met many acquaintances, such as producer Jon? Landau, such as Cameron's royal photography team, such as Stan, who is leading the modelling team? Winston, for example, served as a consultant for two Titanic research experts.

In other words, it's home to some of Hollywood's best minds from all walks of life, who may not be the best, but they're definitely among the best.

"Can we go up and have a look?"

Coming to the bottom of the model ship, Ryan touched it back and forth a few times, it was all made of steel, at least it looked like a real ship.

"Of course." James? Cameron led the way, "The real Titanic used three million rivets, although this ship used 100,000, but if it is not launched, there is no problem." ”

In his previous life, Ryan had seen a lot of tidbits about "Titanic", and he knew that the model ship was actually incomplete, but when the project was established, he proposed a shooting budget of up to $220 million. Let James? Cameron had enough confidence to restore the ship almost completely.

Of course, the ship is still only half renovated, and the other side is mostly bare blanks.

With James? When Cameron enters the cabin, Ryan feels like he's on a luxury cruise ship, and everything he sees and hears is typical of early 20th century British style.

"Please change your shoes, it's the most luxurious first class cabin below."

Before entering the top floor, James? Cameron didn't forget to remind Ryan to put on brand new slippers, "Before shooting, we had to try to keep this place as it was." ”

Step into first class. Ryan watched everything here, he and Nicole had a few cruise parties, and the decorations of those luxury cruise ships were nothing more than that, and this was just to photograph the model boats that were built!

"These carpets are high-end carpets specially ordered by the crew from the original British factory, and they are exactly the same as they were back then." James? Cameron pointed to the carpet in the aisle and said, "According to the design draft of the year, a total of more than 20,000 square feet were ordered with the same material." ”

All right! I'm stepping on stacks of dollars! That's Ryan's only emotion.

"Very nice. Jim, I feel like I've stepped back in time to the early twentieth century. "Ryan knows that when it comes to creating a classic, you have to pay attention to every detail.

"Please come in. Ryan, and Kate. ”

James? Cameron pushed open the door of the ballroom, and the thousand-square-foot ballroom was displayed in front of them, whether it was lamps or cutlery. It's all in the best of luxury.

"When I want to close the mirror, we can have a celebration party here." Kate? Winslet said with some emotion.

"Trust me, when the film closes. You're definitely not in the mood to celebrate. Hearing Ryan's words, Winslet was puzzled, "What is it for, Ryan?" ”

"Kate, you're only going to have one thought at that time, and that's to kill James? Cameron! Ryan was convinced that he would have the idea of terror by then.

James? Cameron pointed Ryan with his index finger, but did not defend himself, after experiencing "Terminator 2" and "True Lies", his reputation as a tyrant on the set has long spread throughout Hollywood.

Ryan walked slowly past the dining table with his hands in his pockets, and the shiny cutlery was carved with the logo of the White Star Company, which he had emphasized in the script's suggestion.

You must know that when filming the banquet scene in his previous life, James? Cameron realized that the cutlery should be engraved with the White Star logo, so the cutlery, costumes, food, extras, etc. were all restarted, and the reshoot of the scene cost more than two million dollars.

"Satisfied, Ryan."

When the three of them walked out of the ballroom, James? Cameron asked with a smug look.

"Jim, I have to admit......" In Cameron's expectant eyes, Ryan's words suddenly changed, "You're a genius for spending money!" ”

"You're doing a great job, even better than I thought!" Ryan paid for himself, and he might not have done better than Cameron, "Jim, let's work together to create a miracle." ”

"Miracles? What kind of miracle? ”

"More than Jurassic Park, what do you think?" Ryan is talking about the box office, of course.

"It's definitely a great idea!" James? Cameron is also full of confidence, as a commercial film director, the box office is naturally his first pursuit.

If the words just came out of someone else's mouth, Kate? Is Winslet just a joke, or the kind that doesn't have a laugh, but who is the person who said it?

Ryan? Jenkins, the guarantee of the box office of Hollywood movies, is the one who single-handedly directed the first box office record in the history of "Jurassic Park".

James? Cameron, an absolute master commercial film director, "Terminator 2" and "True Lies" have both box office and word-of-mouth successes.

What will be the result of these two men working together again? Kate? Winslet felt that her perseverance was too right, and mailed it to James continuously? Cameron's dozens of cover letters will definitely receive unexpected returns. (To be continued......)
