"This is the script for a $150 million investment?"

The crisp voice pulled Ryan's eyes back from the window, and Nicole threw the "Transformers" script on the table and picked up her cup, "It's too simple and thin, isn't it?" ”

"Honey." Ryan picked up the script and put it aside, "It's just a popcorn movie, and all of them are in the service of the big battle between the Transformers." ”

"Including you as the male lead?" Nicole tested the temperature of the water, it was probably a little cold, and put down the cup again, Ryan quickly poured out the water in the cup and replaced it with the water at the right temperature, "Yes, I'm just playing a supporting role for Optimus Prime." ”

"When I was younger, I didn't see you like Transformers."

Maybe you can say it to others, but Nicole is different, and Ryan immediately defends, "It's a spiritual liking, not the pursuit of material possessions." ”

He can't sue Nicole, this complex comes from the previous life, right?

"You always have a lot of crooked reasoning."

Drinking the water from the cup, Nicole stood up, "I'm going to rest in the back, remember to call me when you get to Hawaii." ”

Watching Nicole walk into the back cabin of the Boeing plane, Ryan's eyes fell on the script of "Transformers".

After years of running-in, the screenwriting team of Jenkins Films has always understood his intentions very well, the original script framework is a story of a sullen high school student and his car, and the previous plot has been quite simplified in addition to the cosmic background that must be explained.

But after he promised to play the leading actor, such an image is definitely not suitable, and the script was replaced by Michael? Becky was sent back to Jenkins Pictures with the necessary modifications, and although it was still a story of a man following the car, it underwent a great deal of change, almost completely overturning the original identity of the hero and heroine.

To be exact, this will be the story of a young man and a sexy second-hand car businesswoman and a Chevrolet.

In addition to largely retaining the plot of the Pentagon's first line, the male protagonist line has eliminated quite a few unnecessary characters. In order to reduce a lot of lengthy foreshadowing for the sake of being funny in the early stage, and speed up the time for Optimus Prime to appear.

The audience looks like Transformers, and fast-paced movies are also in line with the trend of social development.

Of course, Ryan has never acted in a comedy, and even an actor like him can't do all types of roles, and the funny in the film can only be handed over to others, such as Confusion and Bumblebee.

The plane landed at Hawaii International Airport on Oahu, and Ryan and the others changed to the helicopter that had been waiting here for a long time and flew directly to Lanai.

Today's Lanai is Ryan's private domain. But with the exception of a few areas, it is not off-limits, and after he and Nicole's transformation, it is one of Hawaii's most famous tourist attractions.

You know, there are more than 2,000 residents on the island, and they must always have a source of income, and tourism and pineapple orchards are the main industries of Lanai.

The helicopter landed directly on the tarmac of a Hawaiian-style manor, and Nicole briefly explained a few words to Ryan and her butler Elsa before going to the bedroom to rest. Ryan changed to an off-road vehicle and ran to the location of the crew of "Jurassic Park 3".

Since late October, Spielberg has led the crew to the rainforest in the southeast of the island and began a two-and-a-half-month on-location shooting. In addition to the main creative staff, there are also two special effects teams of Industrial Light and Magic, and a special effects studio has been temporarily set up on the island to cooperate with the filming of the crew.

The off-road vehicle was parked on the periphery of the crew. When Ryan walked over, Spielberg was holding the microphone and coordinating the filming of the crew in a loud voice. A model of a Tyrannosaurus rex, which is basically close to life, and another model of Spinosaurus, which is also close to life, are hoisted by several huge cranes, fighting each other in advance and retreat.

Although the model is extremely realistic, the movements are extremely stiff, after all, this is only a model, and if you want to become a living dinosaur, you need to modify it with later technology.

It is more difficult to shoot, and often after a short shot of ten seconds, it is necessary to readjust the position of the crane.

"Hi, Ryan."

A little blonde girl's voice sounded crisply, and Ryan gently shook her little hand over her outstretched hand, "It's been a long time, Hannah, you seem to have grown taller again." ”

"That's because I live with dinosaurs."

The little girl was not very old, but she was very smart, and she pointed to the Tyrannosaurus rex and Spinosaurus that were still fighting, "These prehistoric monsters are so big, just looking at them makes me feel like I'm getting taller." ”

"They're a cannibal." Ryan laughed.

Dakota? After "War of the Worlds", Fanning once again got Spielberg's favor, and will play a little girl who lives alone on Dinosaur Island and survives tenaciously in the film.

This girl has experienced "The Hunger Games" and "War of the Worlds", and is definitely the most popular and spiritual girl star in Hollywood at the moment, and her smile and big eyes have conquered countless moviegoers.

Pity......

Ryan shook his head, after all, it was difficult to get rid of the curse of child star.

"Hi, Stephen."

The previous shooting came to an end for the time being, and Ryan strode over, "It looks like everything is going well." ”

Spielberg handed the microphone to his assistant and shook Ryan's hand vigorously, "It's going faster than expected, and I'm confident that I'll be able to finish filming on location on Lanai before Christmas." ”

"The hardest part was shooting the IMAX scenes." The old man lifted his glasses and pointed to the huge cameras hanging from the crane, "The IMAX3D equipment is too bulky, and it takes a lot of time to adjust it every time. ”

"Trust me, Stephen." Ryan looked at the cameras, "It's worth it." ”

All combined, there are about 20 kinds of shots in the film that will use IMAX3D technology, which is already a huge investment and technological breakthrough for this era, and the clips shot by "Transformers 3" in the previous life using IMAX technology are only more than 20 minutes.

It was a long break, and after Spielberg had finished his work, Ryan listened to him talk about a lot of things during the shoot and briefly exchanged some opinions.

Just like "Jurassic Park 1", except for a small part of the plot that takes place at night, most of the shots will be during the day, and even at night, it will be very clear.

The main selling point of the movie is the real dinosaurs, if you can't even see the dinosaurs, can the film still attract the audience to the theater?

Ryan and Spielberg are both veterans of commercial films, so they naturally understand this truth.

Some expenses can be saved, and some can't, otherwise after the film is released, don't complain that the audience doesn't buy it.

Didn't stay here for long, Ryan left, with Catherine? Kennedy and Spielberg are in control of the crew, and there is nothing to worry about, the filming and special effects production of the film are all smooth, if nothing else, it should be in time for next year's summer season.

All that's left is for Disney and Universal to step up their promotional efforts.

Under an agreement reached more than a decade ago, Ryan has once again received investment from Universal Pictures, and his credit has always been very good in this regard.

Today's Universal Pictures is no longer the troubled Universal Pictures after being acquired by Vivendi, last year, it officially merged with NBC, the national broadcaster, to form NBCUniversal, the largest shareholder behind it is General Electric, the old group occupies 80% of the shares.

General Electric, when it comes to market capitalization, has long been not the world's first, but the real influence on the United States, Microsoft companies cannot be compared with it.

Perhaps the saying that General Electric is finished, and America is finished, is an exaggeration, but it always reflects the importance of this company to the United States.

In other words, Hollywood has also completely entered the era of giant competition, and the box office of the film industry may not be more than 10 billion US dollars, but the derivative market is extremely large.

Before Ryan left Los Angeles, there was also a major acquisition involving Hollywood, DreamWorks finally reached an agreement with Viacom, and Paramount Pictures officially acquired DreamWorks SKG for $1.6 billion.

After years of hard work, even if he is as strong as David? Geffen, Jerever? Katzenberg and Stephen? Spielberg's combination is also powerless to break the rules of the game ruled by Hollywood's traditional giants.

Back at the manor, when she walked into the living room, Ryan saw Nicole walking around in her home clothes, with a strange little temper in Momin, and everyone except the housekeeper Elsa was far away from her.

"Hey, dear." Ryan hurriedly walked over and pulled her to sit on the couch, "Did something happen?" ”

"Where have you been?" Nicole's target instantly shifted to him, "Why didn't I wake up and see you." ”

"Didn't I tell you?"

The temperament of the pregnant woman is fickle, and Ryan had to patiently say, "I went to visit Stephen's crew in the south, and the "Jurassic Park 3" we invested in is filming there." ”

"Is there one?" Nicole frowned suspiciously, "I seem to have forgotten." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Ryan turned to look at Elsa.

Nicole has never been a good-natured person, especially when she becomes pregnant, but tantrums are rarely directed at those servants.

"The maid here doesn't know Nicole is pregnant." Elsa leaned into Ryan's ear and whispered, "Nicole wants a fruit salad, and they added some hawthorn to it." ”

"Hawthorn?" Ryan was even more confused.

"Hawthorn can speed up uterine contract......ions," Elsa quickly explained, "Eating too much may lead to miscarriage." ”

"It's all ours here."

It wasn't just Elsa who came to Hawaii on the same plane, but also the people who took care of Nicole, "The people from the original manor let them take care of the periphery. (To be continued......)
