Chapter XXXVI New Mexico

Despite creating classic animated characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Walt Disney was not Hollywood's top film production company until the 80s. Eisner became the head of the animation giant.

It was during his tenure that Disney became one of the seven major Hollywood studios and a massive media conglomerate worth $10 billion.

Of course, he, like all people in power, is cronyistic and constantly inflated.

However, it's only been long into 1991, Michael? Even if Eisner was nepotistic, he used someone with considerable ability, such as his nephew Carter? Eisner.

"Carter, very well done!" Sitting behind a desk, Michael? Eisner looked at his nephew, "Courage, determination, never hesitate when it's time to make a move, and keep it up." ”

To be honest, he didn't expect that Carter not only quickly gained a foothold on the litmus stone, but also achieved such excellent results, although everyone thought that Ryan? Jenkins is a super genius, but there are many people who think that "The Sixth Sense" can be successful, there is a certain accident, except for Miramax, everyone else is waiting, who knows that his nephew, who has been questioned by people, actually took the lead and cooperated with him, as for the result, just look at the box office of "Home Alone".

In this way, not only has the doubts disappeared completely, allowing him to completely secure his position, but even Disney's board of directors is considering whether to increase Carter's rights in live-action filmmaking.

Carter? Even though Eisner was proud in his heart, he still humbled a few words in front of his uncle, who was turning into a tyrant, and besides, he knew very well that he had decided on the project of "Home Alone" against public opinion, but without the boy's words, it was difficult to say what the result would be.

He still remembers what director Columbus said after the film's release, "Without Ryan, the film would have lost at least half of its lustre!" He's a genius, and you don't see a hint of "Sixth Sense" in Kevin. ”

"Carter, with Ryan? Jenkins has a good relationship. "When he's about to leave the office, Michael? Eisner said a few more words, "We don't want to win all of his works, but we must make sure that when he has a new idea, the first thing that comes to mind is Disney!" ”

Back in his office at Touchstone Pictures, Carter? Eisner sat in the boss's chair and remembered the experience from the movie to the present, like a dream.

The total investment of $18 million has now returned to a box office of nearly $250 million, and there is still some time before the movie is released, if you are lucky enough, you may be able to surpass "The Sixth Sense" and become the box office champion of the year.

Knowing that this is just the North American box office, since the film landed in Europe and the Far East in December last year, the box office has also been soaring, and he has no doubt that the overseas box office figures will not be much less than those in North America.

Even if it is paid to Ryan? Jenkins' final remuneration will definitely exceed $8 million, but no one will deny that this is an extremely good deal, just the net profit now is almost equal to the total profit of other Disney movies last year, and the other giants have long been red-eyed.

Hollywood is so big, what is it difficult to hide from industry insiders, he has already heard that major film companies are eyeing Ryan? Jenkins's other work is lobbying for him and the two closest people around him.

Thinking of this, Carter didn't just admire Harvey? Weinstein's eyes, frankly, are just picking people's teeth, and at best he has a little more courage than the others.

But Harvey? Weinstein is different, thinking that when the boy returned to Los Angeles from London, he was still a nobody, even though his work had already entered the national bestseller list, but no one knew that he was the author, in that case, Weinstein resolutely believed his whimsy, bought the script of "The Sixth Sense", and insisted that he and his guardian star it himself, so Miramax received a huge return, and then had the status he has in Hollywood today.

Some might say that Miramax unearthed Ryan? Jenkins, but in his opinion, the opposite is true, and it is Ryan? Jenkins made Miramax what he is today, you know, the original script of "The Sixth Sense" has long been spread all over Hollywood, as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely buy this excellent script.

Besides, Ryan? As long as Jenkins stands in front of the stage as a young writer, will the problems that plague newcomers still be problems?

Carter? Eisner sighed, in fact, he was also red-eyed, looking at Miramax's eyes.

Obviously, Ryan? Jenkins, a nostalgic man, gave the third installment to Miramax, which was written by Nicole? Kidman's movie will be released on Valentine's Day, and if the film surpasses 100 million at the box office again, it will establish his status in the screenwriting industry.

More than that, how much did Miramax earn on a movie called "The Sixth Sense"? It is said that the overseas box office is infinitely close to 200 million US dollars, and more than 30 million videotapes have been sold in North America!

My God! As long as he thinks about these figures, he can't wait to turn back the clock to two years ago, even if he swims across the Atlantic, he has to go to London to take Ryan? Jenkins signs to Disney.

No! Is it to sign in to his own banner, let himself be his agent, and look at the pie? The woman Kinsley, just because of him, has become one of the hottest agents in Hollywood.

Let's think about something practical! Carter opened a report, which is a summary of the authoritative organization's investigation of the major Hollywood film companies last year, and in a sense, it is also an important reference for the company's investment and operation.

After a few pages, he couldn't sit down, and took Ryan? Jenkins's information, read over and over again, this boy has now become the focus of the media, no less than any Hollywood A-list star, and his whereabouts are the top priority of the paparazzi.

Of course, the litmus test has always been with pie? Kingsley was in close contact and knew that he followed the crew of "Terminator 2" to New Mexico, and it is said that he also suffered a lot while filming action scenes.

The other day he and Nicole? Kidman chatted at a cocktail party, remembering that she mentioned that she was going to visit New Mexico recently, which was an opportunity, after all, relationships are all pulled out, how can relationships be pulled out without meeting?

As for reasons and excuses, there will always be them, won't they?

……

On a section of Wasteland Highway in New Mexico, kilometers of lights light up the night sky, and a huge crew of hundreds of people is busy. Cameron stood on a makeshift platform, using a loudspeaker to continuously direct the deployment of various departments.

In the trailer that acts as a dressing room, Ryan leaned against the door, watched the makeup artist smear on Schwarzenegger's face, and couldn't help but sneer, "Arnold, you look like a moldy potato!" ”

"Potatoes?" Schwarzenegger straightened his face, "Have you ever seen such a strong potato as me?" ”

"Alright, Ryan, don't mess around here, it's like James should be angry again if he can't finish it on time." The makeup artist smiled please.

"Alright then, I'll go out first." Ryan shrugged his shoulders and stepped out of the trailer, looking out at the long line of lights, unable to see the end.

What is going to be filmed here is the highway chase scene in the film Zuihou, the original Jihua of the crew, wanted to rent a section of the highway from Los Angeles to Long Beach, and the state government agreed.

But change is always faster than Jihua, after entering the New Year, the California state government reversed the previous agreement, and the crew had no choice but to move the location to New Mexico and shoot on a desert highway.

Rarely, James? Cameron didn't even get angry, but when you think about the nearly half cheaper fee and the unlimited road closure time at night, you can actually understand it.

This climactic scene is definitely a big deal, not only the cars and helicopters are mobilized, and more than 800 people participated in the shooting, but also because it is a night scene shooting, the props team pulled more than ten kilometers of cables, and the lights on this section of the road are bright.

Large-scale scene deployment is not an easy task, I have watched so many movies in my previous life, in Ryan's eyes, the one with the strongest control over super-large scenes is undoubtedly James? Cameron, Stephen? Spielberg and the New Zealand fat guy too.

"Wow"

Ryan pulled the bolt of the M16, this prop gun looks no different from the real gun, but the weight is much lighter, and in the next shot, Linda will use it to shoot at the T1000.

"Scene 32, Act 56, begin!"

Sarah? Connor hides behind the door of the police box and engages in a fierce shootout with the T1000, which shakes violently.

It seems a little crazy, but in fact it just stays where it is, and the firelight explosion on the scene is just a small fireball, and the dazzling effects in those movies are almost all added in post-production.

In this set of shots, Ryan is completely playing soy sauce, huddled in the corner of the police box, holding two Kevlar body armors in his retracted hands to prevent them from slipping off his body.

This kind of action scene shot, although there are enough protective measures, accidents will always happen inadvertently.

Linda? When Hamilton flashed out from behind the door and fired, he accidentally planted himself out of the car with too much force, and his knee slammed on the door with a "thud".

The closest to her was Ryan, who jumped up and jumped out of the carriage, only to see cold sweat on the woman's aching face, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Doctor! Come on, someone's hurt! Ryan yelled at the crew.

Several people, including Cameron, rushed over in an instant, and the doctor equipped by the crew quickly checked Linda and breathed a sigh of relief, "It shouldn't hurt the bones." ”

"Rest for half an hour!"

James? Cameron shouted loudly, and then leaned over to Linda, looking like a good lover.
