Chapter 36： New Mexico

Although it has created classic animated images such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, before entering the 1980s, Walt Disney was not considered a top Hollywood film production company. After entering 80 years, Michael Eisner Became the head of this animation giant.

It was during his tenure that Disney became one of the seven major Hollywood film companies and a large media group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.

Of course, he is like all people in power, nepotism and constant self-inflation.

However, not long after entering 1991, even if Michael Eisner is nepotism, he uses people with considerable ability, such as his nephew Carter Eisner.

"Carter, you are doing a great job!" Sitting behind the desk, Michael Eisner looked at his nephew, "He is bold and decisive. Don't hesitate when you should make a move. Keep going."

To be honest, he did not expect that Carter not only quickly gained a foothold at the touchstone, but also achieved such outstanding results. Although everyone thought Ryan Jenkins was a super genius, many people thought that the Sixth Sense "Achieving success, there is a certain chance. Except Miramax, everyone else is watching. Who knows that my nephew, who has been questioned by others, took the lead and cooperated with him. As for the result, look. Just watch the box office of "Home Alone".

In this way, not only has the doubts disappeared completely, but he has completely stabilized his position. Even Disney's board of directors is considering whether to increase Carter's rights in live-action film production.

Even though Carter Eisner was proud, he still humbled a few words in front of his uncle who was transforming into a tyrant. Besides, he knew very well that he was arguing against the crowd and confirmed the project of "Home Alone", but there was no It's hard to say what the result will happen to that boy.

He still remembers what Director Columbus said after the movie was released, "Without Ryan, this movie would be at least half of its color! He is a genius. You can't see a trace of "Sixth Sense" from Kevin."

"Carter, have a good relationship with Ryan Jenkins." When he was about to leave the office, Michael Eisner exhorted a few more words, "We don't want to get all of his works, but we must let him When I came up with a new idea, the first thing that came to my mind was Disney!"

Back in the office at Touchstone Pictures, Carter Eisner sat in the boss chair, thinking of the experience since the movie was released, like a dream.

The total investment of US$18 million has now been exchanged for nearly US$250 million in the box office, and there is still some time before the film is down. If you are lucky enough, you can surpass the "Sixth Sense" and become the annual Box office champion.

You must know that this is only the North American box office. Since the film’s launch in Europe and the Far East in December last year, the box office has also been soaring. He has no doubt that the number of overseas box office will not be much less than that of North America.

Even if the final remuneration paid to Ryan Jenkins will definitely exceed 8 million US dollars, no one will deny that this is an extremely cost-effective business. Only the current net profit is almost equal to the sum of the profits of other Disney movies last year. The other big giants have long seen red eyes.

Hollywood is such a big thing. It’s hard to hide any troubles from the insiders. He has heard that major film companies are eyeing Ryan Jenkins’s other works and are lobbying him and the two closest people around him.

Thinking of this, Carter not only admired Harvey Weinstein's eyes, but frankly speaking, he was just picking up people's teeth, at best, he was a little more bold than others.

But Harvey Weinstein is different, thinking that when the boy returned to Los Angeles from London, he was just an unknown person. Even though his work had already entered the bestseller list in the United States, no one knew that he was the author. Under the circumstances, Weinstein resolutely believed in his whimsical imagination, purchased the script of "Sixth Sense", and insisted that he and his guardians act in person, so Miramax received a huge reward, and then Has gained its status in Hollywood today.

Some people might say that Miramax discovered Ryan Jenkins, but in his opinion, the situation is just the opposite. It was Ryan Jenkins who made Miramax today. You know, "Sixth Sense" The original script has been circulated in Hollywood for a long time. As long as you are not a fool, you will definitely buy this excellent script.

Besides, Ryan Jenkins just needs to stand in front of the stage as a young writer, will the problems that bother newcomers still be problems?

Carter Eisner sighed, but he was actually jealous too, looking at Miramax jealous.

Obviously, Ryan Jenkins is a nostalgic person, and gave the third work to Miramax. This movie starring Nicole Kidman will be released on Valentine's Day. If the box office of this movie is again Over 100 million, that will establish his position in the screenwriting industry.

It’s not just that. How much did Miramax get in a movie called "Sixth Sense"? It is said that the overseas box office is infinitely close to 200 million U.S. dollars, and more than 30 million video tapes have been sold in North America!

Oh, God! As long as he thinks of these data, he can't wait for time to go back to two years ago, even if he swims across the Atlantic, he will go to London to sign Ryan Jenkins to Disney.

Do not! It is to sign to his own banner and let himself become his agent. Just look at the woman Pai Jinsili. Because of him, she has become one of Hollywood's hottest agents.

Still want to be practical! Carter opened a report, which is a summary of an authoritative organization's survey of major Hollywood film companies last year, and in a sense is also an important reference for the company's investment and management.

After flipping a few pages, he couldn't sit down anymore. After taking the information of Ryan Jenkins and reading it over and over again, the boy has now become the focus of the media, no less than any Hollywood first-line star, and his whereabouts are even better. Is the top priority of paparazzi attention.

Of course, the touchstone has always been in close contact with Pie Kingsley, knowing that he went to New Mexico with the crew of "Terminator 2", and it is said that he suffered a lot when shooting action scenes.

A few days ago, he and Nicole Kidman talked at a reception. I remembered that she mentioned that she was going to visit New Mexico recently. This was an opportunity. After all, the relationship is drawn out. How can I make a relationship without meeting?

As for reasons and excuses, there will always be some, right?

……

On a section of the wasteland highway in New Mexico, several kilometers of lights lit up a small part of the night sky. A huge crew of hundreds of people was busy. James Cameron stood on a temporary high platform and used a loudspeaker. Continuously direct the deployment of various departments.

In the trailer serving as the dressing room, Ryan leaned against the door and watched the makeup artist smear Schwarzenegger's face. He couldn't help but laughed, "Arnold, you look like a moldy potato!"

"Potatoes?" Schwarzenegger looked straight, "Have you seen me such a strong potato?"

"Well, Ryan, don't mess around here, as if it can't be done on time, James should get angry again." The makeup artist gave a pleased smile.

"Okay, I'll go out first." The boy shrugged, walked out of the trailer, looked at the long lights outside, and couldn't see his head.

What I wanted to film here was the highway chase at the end of the film. The original plan of the crew was to rent a highway from Los Angeles to Long Beach, and the state government agreed.

But the change is always faster than planned. After the New Year, the California state government overturned the previous agreement. The crew had no choice but to move the location to New Mexico and filmed on a section of the desert highway.

It’s rare that James Cameron didn’t get angry, but if you think about the nearly half the cost and the unlimited road closure time at night, you can actually understand it.

This climax scene is definitely big-handed. Not only were cars and helicopters mobilized and more than 800 people participated in the filming, but also because of the night scene shooting, the prop team pulled more than 10 kilometers of cables to illuminate the road. .

Big scenes deployment is not an easy task. I watched so many movies in my previous life. In Ryan's eyes, James Cameron, Stephen Spielberg and Fat New Zealand are undoubtedly the ones who have the strongest control over the big scenes.

"Wow!"

Ryan pulled the bolt of the M16. This prop gun looks no different from the real gun in appearance, but it's a lot lighter. In the next shot, Linda will use it to shoot against the T1000.

"The 32nd scene, the 56th scene Start!"

Sarah Connor hid behind the door of the box-style police car, and engaged in a fierce gun battle with the T1000, the police car shook violently.

seems a little crazy, but in fact it just stays in place. The explosion of fire on the scene is just a small fireball. The dazzling effects in those movies are almost all added in post-production.

In this group of shots, Ryan is completely beating soy sauce. He shrinks in the corner of the box-style police car, with two Kevlar body armors in his retracted hands to prevent them from slipping off his body.

This kind of action scenes, although there are adequate protective measures, accidents always happen inadvertently.

Linda Hamilton shot out from behind the car door and shot with too much force. She accidentally fell out of the car and knocked her knees on the car door, making a "boom."

Ryan was the closest to her. He jumped up and jumped out of the carriage. He saw cold sweat on the painful face of the female man, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Doctor! Come here, someone is injured!" The boy shouted to the crew.

Several people, including Cameron, rushed over in an instant. The doctor assigned by the crew quickly checked Linda, and he was relieved, "It shouldn't hurt any bones."

"Take a rest for half an hour!"

James Cameron yelled aloud, and then leaned over to Linda, who looked like a good lover.
