Chapter 34： Filming

James Cameron made a six to eight month shooting plan for "Terminator 2". As the future savior of the film, his shots are indispensable in almost every scene. Ryan can only follow the crew in California. Tossing around.

Among them, there are both the Santa Monica Commercial Plaza where John Connor meets the two Terminators, and San Fernando’s highway flood control drainage canal.

In addition, I have personally experienced the treatment of patients with mental illnesses at the Psychotherapy Center in Los Angeles Lakeview Cinema.

Originally, Cameron’s original script did not have this paragraph, but at the strong request of Linda Hamilton, he and William Schell, Jr., revised the script, and the female man did appear to be surprising. The side.

Yes, although Linda Hamilton actually does not look as sturdy as in the movie, she has also developed a lot of muscles. Ryan heard her say that in order to shoot this role, she hired a former IDF member She started training after proofreading. During the thirteen weeks of training, she trained six days a week for three hours a day. Not only did she lose 12 pounds of fat, she also made the whole person look sturdy and strong.

It's really not easy to be a good actor! This is the boy's only emotion.

Of course, there were still quite a few troubles during the shooting. However, as a minor, Ryan was the key protection object of the crew, and most troubles happened to others.

For example, when filming the chase scene of the flood control channel, there were several Arnold's very chic spinning gun movements, but during the shooting, there was a serious accident. When he was spinning the shotgun, his finger was hooked on the trigger. I almost cut off the whole finger, so the indestructible T800 can only go to the hospital for maintenance.

Also, in this chase scene, the truck prepared by the crew was a bit higher than the highway bridge, making Cameron angry.

"Have you not visited the site? Sorry? Sorry to let the time back? Two hours, I only give you two hours. If it can't be solved, everyone in the props team will be gone!"

After hearing his angry voice, Ryan remembered that the script here is different from the movie in the previous life. He rolled his eyes and moved forward, "Jim, why can't I change the script? For example, Robert drives a car. How about cutting off the high part of the truck when I hit the bridge? This can show the ruthlessness of the T1000 and increase the impact of the lens."

"Good idea." Cameron slapped his palm hard, "Ryan, I should have asked you to write the script together!"

Working with you? Looking at the tyrant who went to the props group, the boy curled his lips, unless I was crazy!

"Ryan, do you always have so many ghost ideas?" Robert Patrick is the opposite of his T1000, he is a very kind and laughable person in life.

"Hey, Mr. T1000, don't you want to do it now? T800 maintenance is gone, you can't take advantage of others." The boy simply joked with him.

Speaking of it, it was a very lucky thing that Robert Patrick was able to enter the crew. Cameron originally planned to find Billy Edol to play this role, and the other party also agreed, but the big hand of the **** of fate seems to be in control In the sky related to the boy, just a few days before the boot, the hapless rock singer had a car accident. He seemed to be in possession of a T1000. He was riding a motorcycle and collided with a truck. It is estimated that at least he would have to lie down on the bed. Months.

There are many action shots in the filming, and bumps and bumps are hard to escape. The crew originally asked Ryan an action coach before filming, but the other party only gave him two safety courses, using what he said to Cameron. Say, "Ryan is extremely flexible, just like an ape. The actions in the movie are not difficult for him. I think the only thing he has to learn is how to protect himself during filming."

"Jim, I have been exercising for at least one hour a day since I was five years old. After returning from London to Los Angeles, Nicole and I have professional fitness trainers, so you don't have to worry about it."

Ryan only told half of the truth. Although his flexible skills have a lot to do with long-term unremitting exercise, his previous life experience is even more important. For orphans across the ocean, their skills are not flexible, and they just wait and see. Be hungry and be bullied, jumping up and down, sneaking up and down, fighting on the street, all just trivialities.

Besides, he is not acting in an action drama Kung Fu movie, he can handle it with his skill.

Although James Cameron has already pointed out the talent for burning money, he is not as crazy as he was later, and when it is time to save, he will definitely not waste it.

In order to save the cost of hiring extras, many of the roles were guest appearances by people from various departments in the crew, such as himself, as John Connor’s adoptive father, but the image is really horrible.

"Jim, any child, as long as you have an adoptive father like you, you will definitely become a rebellious kid." Ryan deliberately provoked the thorn, "Look, Mr. Director, the whole crew you killed will accompany you with you NG Thirteen times, you should pay for overtime out of your pocket."

"Come on, Ryan, you are just dissatisfied with me being your adoptive father." Cameron waved and sat back in the director's chair.

When shooting the shots of the T1000 and T800 confrontation in the Santa Moca Commercial Plaza, something even more amazing happened. A Japanese friend of Cameron took a special flight and flew from Tokyo to Los Angeles without any payment. Is to make a cameo in the film.

He is the guy who was shot to death by T1000 in the corridor when John Connor first encountered T800.

After entering late December, when the location shooting in California was about to be completed, a large number of reporters and paparazzi came again around the crew.

James Cameron has a fairly good habit. His crew will always start silently. The same is true of "Terminator 2", but with the exposure of the investment amount, it has caused a heated discussion in the media. However, after being chased for a period of time and unable to dig out any exclusive news, the crew around the crew gradually became quiet.

Although there will be two or three kittens from time to time, in the past two months, the crew has been peaceful and has not been harassed too much. Of course, this is also the same as that of Anne Hurd. It depends on the shooting situation.

There were too many reporters here this time, and the disturbing phenomenon had seriously affected the filming of the crew, which made James Cameron very angry. After reprimanding the spokesperson of the crew, he quickly figured it out. The situation.

"Ryan! Where's Ryan?"

"It seems to be resting in a trailer." Someone answered.

"Go and call him out." Cameron gasped.

As the shooting progressed, Ryan's grasp of the role became more and more in place, and the shooting became a lot easier. Even the script of "Terminator 2" was thrown aside by him, except that he would check it before the filming. After reading it, I am now leaning on a high-back chair, drawing the setting draft of "True Lies" with colored pencils.

"What? Jim was looking for me? I remember there was no shot of me in the morning." Seeing the assistant rushing over, the boy had to put away the sketches and went to the shooting location.

Just when he got out of the trailer, he heard a mess, like a vegetable market in the early morning. No, it should be 100,000 big green flies flapping their wings at the same time.

He was already very familiar with this kind of voice, besides reporters and paparazzi, who else would be there.

"What's the matter? A lot of reporters came." Ryan muttered and walked to the set.

"Ryan Jenkins, you're ashamed to ask me what's the matter!" Seeing some hot Cameron, the boy felt baffled, "What happened? Jim, who would dare to make you such a big fire? Shouldn't it be? Linda?"

"Those reporters and paparazzi are here for you!"

"Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" Ryan scratched his head, saying that he had been stabbed by the media for his participation in "Terminator 2". Even if they were to hype, the topic of the topic would have passed away. Now he came to interview him. do what?

"You ask me, I still ask you."

In Cameron’s view, this boy is indeed very smart. Except for the first few days, his performance in the filming made people unable to fault, but he can always make people alive when he is angry.

Ok! He was a little dissatisfied. Those reporters came to his own studio to ask about the news of another movie. Anyone would get angry if they changed it.

"Ryan, haven't you read the newspaper recently?" The assistant assigned to him by the crew leaned in at this moment.

"No I ran with the crew all day, either filming or writing or drawing, where did I get the time to read the newspaper, besides, I don’t want my eyes to look for abuse. I wrote it as a monster."

"Just today, the North American box office statistics around the release of "Home Alone" have come out. Do you know how many?"

"Hey, hurry up, don't sell it, okay?" Ryan gradually understood.

"It's more than 150 million U.S. dollars!"

"One hundred and fifty million, not a lot." The boy scratched his head. He had experienced so many large-scale baptisms in his previous life. Naturally, he would not think that this number is anything extraordinary.

The people around rolled up their eyes, and had the urge to pull him out and give him a beating. Finally, a deputy director couldn’t help it and stood up and said, “Ryan, I think you know it well. This movie has publicity. It’s only a $18 million investment, and it has only been released for four weeks. Many film critics are very optimistic about the film, believing that it can compete with "Sixth Sense" at the box office."

"Boy, if nothing else, you would have taken the top two of the North American box office rankings this year." Cameron sighed. Although the other party is not in the same business with him, he feels that the waves of the Yangtze River will push the waves of the front. If you understand Chinese.

This was originally planned, okay? The boy shrugged. The reason why he chose these two films as his starting point was not because of their powerful influence.

Although it may not be a good thing for all child stars to impress in childhood, for Ryan, he has a hundred ways to easily transform after the age of sixteen.
