Chapter 192: An Unprecedented Investment

In the villa's small living room, after coffee and tea, Nicole walks out with her maid, knowing that they are going to talk about a film project next, and she has immense confidence in Ryan in this regard, and Ryan's track record proves it, even if it is a huge production with a budget of $200 million.

Scripts and various materials related to Ryan and James? Cameron had already given it to those present, presumably they had discussed it in their respective companies.

"Paramount Pictures can invest 40 million dollars!" Shirley was the first to speak? Lansing, her words get straight to the point.

"$40 million, that's how much Fox invested in the twentieth century." Grant? Hill then said.

"And Miramax!" Harvey? Weinstein did not hesitate, he made more contact with Ryan earlier, more and more confidently, "We also invested 40 million dollars!" ā€

Including the $100 million budget offered by Jenkins Films, the production cost of this film has reached $220 million, and if their conversation is known to the outside world, it will not only shake Hollywood, but the entire world film industry.

Of course, these investments will only come in place over the next few years, and neither Ryan nor the other three represent companies are fools to put such a huge amount of money on a project for a long time, which can only be described as stupid.

Besides, to James? Cameron's character, if the one-time funding is in place, the production cost of this movie will definitely push up to $300 million, plus the publicity and marketing budget, it will really become a bottomless pit......

"Well, we've reached our point." Ryan held the black tea in front of him, "Are we going to have a drink to celebrate." ā€

Everyone laughed, or held up black tea, or coffee, and took a big sip at the same time.

"Jim......" Ryan looked at Cameron, but the other party made a gesture of invitation to him. Ryan, this project is your suggestion, and you are also the largest investor, so let's talk about it next. ā€

In recent times, Ryan has been in conflict with James? Cameron made a number of phone calls and exchanged a lot of opinions about the pre-production of the film.

"Jim and I would be the producers of the film."

This is an opportunity to bless himself with an invincible aura, and Ryan will naturally not let it go, "The location is initially set in Mexico, which can save a lot of labor costs and venue costs. ā€

"We will spend more than two years doing the preparatory work, hiring professional historians and engineers to guide the construction of a one-to-one model Titanic ship. Try to order all kinds of furniture, accessories and utensils from the original manufacturer, and now Jim has contacted Hanand? Wolf Shipyard, got a copy of the design drawings of the Titanic, and the general designer Thomas? Andrews' design notes. ā€

"We'll do our best to restore that big ship!" Ryan's words were filled with confidence. "Jim, you'll be up to you to take care of the rest."

"Okay!"

James? Cameron nodded, "After the New Year, I will officially devote myself to the preliminary preparations, I have already asked people to contact the Russian side of the Keldish Academy ocean-going research ship, and I will take the photography team to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see the wreck up close." The digital realm and Ryan's Blue Sky Studios will take on the post-production special effects work for the film......"

Compared with Ryan, Cameron said more and more detailed, after all, he is an expert in this area, even if it is for the sake of future funds. He also needs to be the most rigorous.

An unprecedentedly large investment also means an unprecedented amount of pressure!

Waiting for James? After Cameron finished speaking, Ryan slowly tapped the arm of the chair, "Everyone. I think we'll join forces to set a new record! ā€

In the face of everyone's eyes, Ryan just smiled and didn't say anything more. These three partners were carefully selected by him!

Paramount Pictures has a strong ability to develop overseas markets, the parent company of Twentieth Century Fox controls a large number of media, and Miramax is a powerful tool for public relations!

The Titanic in his previous life was great enough, but he wanted to make it even greater! At the same time, use its greatness to set yourself off......

"Ryan, I actually have a good idea." James? Cameron spoke suddenly, and his words also attracted the attention of several people.

Ryan didn't say anything, just made a gesture asking for a speaker.

"How about you play Jack?" Ryan just wanted to speak, but was caught by James? Cameron stopped with a gesture, and he continued, "In my plan, the official start of filming will not be until the summer of '96, when you are already sixteen years old and no longer a child. ā€

"This ......" Ryan scratched his head, he didn't expect that Cameron would have such a mention.

"That's right, it's a great idea!"

The other three all voiced their voices, no one wants to see their investment fail, and despite Ryan's recent lack of heavyweight roles, the appeal is still huge, and having him play one of the leading roles is tantamount to adding an insurance policy to the movie.

They have all read the script, so naturally they know Jack? What kind of character Dawson is, I can't help but take a closer look at Ryan.

There are many disabled child stars in Hollywood, Ryan? Jenkins will be fourteen years old in a few days, and his future appearance can be seen, as long as there are no major accidents, this will definitely be a handsome guy.

Although Ryan didn't accept it in person until everyone left, he was still moved, after all, it was the Titanic......

When Ryan sent Cameron and the others away and returned to the villa, Nicole was directing the cleaning staff to clean up the garbage.

"Go back and rest, Nicole." Ryan tugged at her, "There's Lisa here." ā€

"Okay." Nicole followed him and walked towards the living room, "Finished talking?" ā€

"After the New Year, James will start preparing with his team."

Ryan pressed Nicole down on the couch, "I'm tired, take a break and go back to my room to sleep." ā€

"Hmm~"

Nicole nodded subconsciously, suddenly realizing that she had told him to do so in the past......

"Sit down and talk to me for a while." Nicole gestured to her side, "Sit here." ā€

"Okay, dear." Ryan sat down beside her, grabbed a strand of long golden red hair, and naughtily wrapped it between her fingers, "Nicole." Is "Batman Forever" going to be launched? ā€

"Next month." Nicole tilted her head to Ryan's side, "Shoot in the studio first, then go out on location." ā€

"We're going to get busy again." Ryan sighed, after the New Year, he was going to start promoting the new album and the new episode of Harry Potter.

…………

On the first day of the New Year's holiday, tens of thousands of teenagers gathered at Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, and after two years, they finally welcomed their idol's second solo album.

"Empty streets, empty houses, empty hearts. I was so lonely...... My love, I always insisted, but getting this love was so out of reach, so I whispered a prayer, hoping that she would hear the call of my heart, where there is a clear blue sky, where there is the person I want to see the most, my love! ā€

A romantic pop ballad came from the stage, with a voice that was both bitter and sweet. It's not just a love song, it seems to contain too much complexity.

The person who grew up with them, and continued to radiate brilliance, and became their idol, has grown up! That's the sentiment of many fans.

Ryan grew up. I started singing love songs, and I want to find my own love!

"Thank you all for your support!" Ryan retracted his thoughts, pointed to the crowd under the stage, and shouted. "You've always been my strongest supporters, and Los Angeles is my home. You are my loved ones, and here's a pop rock song dedicated to everyone who loves me, New.Divide! ā€

Heavy drumbeats sounded, frenzied electronic accompaniment sounds, and then Ryan's high-pitched voice.

"I recall the dark clouds, lightning and thunder, I can recall every moment of the encounter, even when time begins to blur, in the astonishing omen, the only thing I can hear is your voice, do I get what I deserve? Then give me a reason to prove me wrong, and then clean all my memories so that there is no longer a distance between my blue eyes......"

Indulgent shouts, crazy roars, this is a war song that encourages people to gather all their courage!

"Crossing the gap in my heart, I don't need to leave anything in my heart, except you and me! The earth is crumbling under our feet, and I will only hear your voice......"

The passionate music ignited the enthusiasm of everyone below the stage, who chanted Ryan's name, as if they wanted their idol to continue singing and sing for them forever!

"Encore! Encore! ā€

The sound of tens of thousands of people shouting in unison almost spread throughout the small seaside city of Santa Monica, and tourists from all over the world unconsciously turned their eyes to the direction where the sound came from, among which a large number of curious people gathered towards the commercial plaza, and began to transform into Ryan's fans under the infection of the general environment.

In the sound of 'encore' that penetrated the sky, Ryan returned to the stage, "Okay, today's last song, "People Around You"! ā€

This is Ryan's original soothing love song, and in the mixed accompaniment of piano and guitar, his singing voice seems to bring magic, and the light yƬ soothes the restless emotions under the stage, and many people can't help but immerse themselves in the melodious music.

After the live performance, of course, there was a routine book signing, and this year's queue was longer than last year, and Ryan heard the record company mention that a team of hundreds of people had gathered here as early as yesterday, just to get his autograph record as soon as possible.

"Do you need a break?"

Ryan had just walked back to the record store break room when Nicole greeted him.

"Don't." Ryan swept her pale blue eyes, and there was nothing unusual in them.

So be it for now! Ryan frowned and walked out, didn't see Nicole? Kidman stared at his back, stunned.

With the release of his second album, Ryan is busy again, starting in Los Angeles and ending in New York for a massive campaign, flying out of Los Angeles and returning at the end of the month.

Nicole likewise started a new job with Fang? Kimo co-starred in "Batman Forever" male and female leads, and most of the next month will be spent on the set.

In the reluctance, the two of them were temporarily separated, but no one would have thought that when they met again, everything would change. (To be continued......)
