When the two big-budget productions were released, although the quality of the film was the decisive factor at the box office, the impact of publicity and hype could not be ignored.

After deciding on the schedule, Universal Pictures released the trailer edited by Spielberg himself for the first time, and the premiere date on June 3 and the only few dinosaur special effects shots were extremely conspicuous, and many people understood that the two films with an investment of about $70 million would compete in the summer.

It's pretty normal business competition, and no one can say anything, although Ryan? Jenkins against Tom? Cruise's gossip spread all over the United States in a matter of days, but neither Universal Pictures nor Sony Columbia kept their mouths shut, and instead of wasting saliva on it, it was better to do the preliminary work before the release of the movie.

It's still far from the release of the movie, and it's not yet time for Ryan to go into battle shirtless, as one of the trump cards on his side, he naturally has to appear at a critical moment.

All right! It was just a complacent thought.

The Audi stopped in front of the Hollywood Planet restaurant, waiting for the two cars in front of him to drop off the passengers, Ryan turned his head to look at the side and back, the old Ford was like a twin brother of the Audi, slowly swaying not far away.

Now, Ryan already knows that the Latin paparazzi is called Garcia? Rodriguez, a former soldier, was removed from the army after beating a white officer for discrimination.

Of course, this is not what the other party told him, but George Guò has checked the guy's old background clearly.

"George, find a chance to talk to him." Ryan whispered.

"I understand." George answered.

It's not that hard to live a decent life, is it? Ryan glanced at the Ford again.

When he got out of the car, the first thing that caught Ryan's eye was the reporter's flash and the short red carpet, and he couldn't help but sigh. Stallone and Schwarzenegger have gone to great lengths to save the restaurant they have invested in.

Although the Hollywood Planet restaurant has attracted attention after its opening, the three action superstars are not the material for business at all, although they have hired a dedicated manager, and the customer flow seems to be not small, but they have been unable to make ends meet for more than a year.

Bruce? Willis simply withdrew his investment, while Stallone and Schwarzenegger used their influence to constantly advertise the restaurant, and even the future governor would sit in the most prominent position in the restaurant for breakfast every day in recent months, and occasionally call friends to hold a party here.

He is the organizer of tonight's pie. Not only did many Hollywood stars of all sizes be invited, but also a large number of media were invited, hoping to make a loud advertisement for the restaurant in this way.

Ryan beckoned to reporters and walked to the door of the restaurant, and saw Schwarzenegger's sturdy figure from a distance, and the brown-haired woman next to him should be his wife, John? Kennedy's niece, Maria? Schleiver too.

Most of the people's impression of Schwarzenegger is that of a muscular reckless man on the screen. In fact, he has a very high IQ, which can be seen from the choice of his wife, and it is difficult to say whether he has plans to enter politics in the future.

"Hi, Arnold." Ryan dissipated the mess. Strode up, shook Schwarzenegger's hand vigorously, and turned to the other side, "Ms. Schleiver." Hello. ”

"Hello, Ryan, just call me Mary."

"It's an honor. Mary. Shaking hands with the other party gently, Ryan stopped Schwarzenegger, "Hey, Arnold, we're old friends, so we don't need this kind of false courtesy." ”

"Alright, Ryan, Jim, they're all in there."

Schwarzenegger stopped and whispered a few words to one of the attendants, who led Ryan inside.

Tonight's guests are not only Hollywood stars, but also many business celebrities, Ryan occasionally greeted people he knew, and after turning a corner, he soon saw James? Cameron.

Him and Linda? Hamilton was standing together, discussing something with a few other people, and his eyes lit up when he saw Ryan.

"Ryan, this way."

"Hey Jim, and Linda, long time no see."

Ryan greeted the people around him, "Do you know what you're discussing, Jim?" ”

"What else can we talk about besides movies?" It's Paramount's Shirley who speaks? Lansing, "The two movies started almost at the same time, "Jurassic Park" is about to be released, and "True Lies" is still a little far from completion. ”

"Meticulous craftsmanship, requiring almost exacting attention to detail, isn't this James? Cameron's style? Ryan spread his hands and said humorously.

"That's right, even if "True Lies" is completed, it is best to push it to July to be released, do we have to face the competition of "Jurassic Park", it will definitely be a disaster." Grant? Hill interjected at this time, "Not every studio has the courage of Sony Columbia, and when the time comes, not to mention movie fans, Ryan's book fans alone will be enough to push the box office of this movie to a terrifying number." ”

"Then again, Ryan, aren't you thinking about a film adaptation of the Harry Potter series?" Shirley? Lansing meant something.

"I won't think about it in a short period of time, the current film technology can't make the picture I imagined, even if it's industrial light and magic." Ryan is well aware that many studios are eyeing it, and if Jurassic Park is a big hit, that will go even further.

"That's a shame, many people want to see our little wizard waving his little wand on the big screen a day sooner."

A few more small talks, Grant? Hill and Shirley? Lansing went to the other side to socialize, Linda? Hamilton was also pulled away by a woman.

"Oh, that's pathetic, we're just two men." Cameron sighed, then squeezed his eyes and said, "Ryan, I heard you're buying Pixar?" ”

There are no permanent secrets in this circle, and as the negotiations get longer and longer, the news naturally spreads.

"Yes, it's going to be done."

Ryan didn't have anything to say, and nodded directly.

"Oh God, I'm going to get you to invest with me?" Cameron waved his hand.

"Investment? What to invest in? Ryan frowned strangely.

"Me and Stan? Winston intends to form a joint special effects studio. ”

Hearing Cameron's words, Ryan gradually remembered, isn't it, Hollywood's second-largest special effects company, the digital field, was born in their hands.

"That's just sorry, Jim, I don't have the funds on hand at the moment." Ryan shrugged helplessly and joked, "If you agree to take credit, I'll definitely join in." ”

Cameron just smiled, Ryan naturally understood that friendship is friendship, and business is business.

"Or, let's co-invest in a film." Cameron abruptly changed the subject. "How's Spider-Man?"

"Spider-Man?" Ryan pouted, "Come on, Jim, the copyright is in Japanese hands." ”

"None of this is a problem, actually, I'm going to invite you to write the script together, of course, after True Lies is finished."

"Really?" Ryan laughed unscrupulously, "Let me think, will you let Peter?" Parker is entangled in a cage of ideas, and the whole movie is completely darkened. Parker and Mary? Jane is tumbling on the Brooklyn Bridge......"

"How did you guess?" Cameron's mouth opened in surprise.

"You said you guessed, of course you guessed, with what I know about you, it's not difficult, is it?" Ryan finished prevaricating casually, and the tone changed, "What you are better at is technology and machinery, why don't you continue to develop in this area?" ”

Ryan knew very well that this guy was a crazy Spider-Man fan, and if it was possible to get the rights, he would really go and shoot this movie.

"Do you have a new idea?"

"Of course, if True Lies can be a big hit, otherwise where to find a $200 million investment?"

Just in case, among the scripts that Ryan is writing, there is "Titanic", which is ready to be handed over to this guy when it is finished.

"I think now Ryan? Jenkins works better than James? Cameron's works have more box office appeal, don't they? Cameron joked, and then got serious, "Let's talk about it, it's just the two of us here." ”

"That'...... All right. Ryan lifted his chin and circled around Cameron, "Jim, I heard that you like diving, and you rented a submarine on your last vacation and went to the Atlantic?" ”

"That's right." Cameron nodded

"Aren't you going to see the one that sank at the beginning of the twentieth century, the one that sailed out of the port of Southampton?" Ryan reminded.

"Southampton? You mean...... "James?" Cameron suddenly realized, Ryan interrupted him, "That's right, think about it, if you replicate a one-to-one giant ship and recreate that shipwreck, of course, there is a fairytale love in it, what do you think?" ”

Cameron realized why Ryan said that it was an investment of 200 million dollars, even if it was to build a model that would not move, it would cost tens of millions of dollars, which was really a crazy idea.

Still, it was to his liking.

"Jim, if you're on vacation after filming this time, how about going to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see that giant ship in person?" Ryan said with a seductive tone.

"Okay, Ryan, as long as you're together."

James? Cameron immediately countered.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Schwarzenegger and Shirley? Lansing walked over.

"Nothing, Ryan's new idea and new script." Cameron replied casually.

"Really, Ryan?" Shirley? Lansing's eyes immediately lit up, "If you can, prioritize Paramount, okay?" ”

"Come on, Shirley, are you sure Paramount still has the energy to invest in new movies right now?" Grant? Hill didn't know when he walked back. (To be continued......)
