Chapter 71： 20th Century Fox

The tabloids, especially the tabloids of News Corporation, are all about the virtues. Ryan couldn’t be clearer. Some people in the New York Post might not know, but when it comes to The Sun, no one knows. Both newspapers belong to Murdoch's banner, and their reporting styles are the same.

After the lawyer's letter was mailed, the tabloids have converged a lot. It is only in the early 1990s, and they are not as rampant as they were later.

Ryan immediately threw the incident behind his head. He can't get a bite by the dog, and then go to the dog to bite it back, right? Besides, don't worry, if there is an opportunity in the future, he will naturally settle this account with News Corp. He is not the person who can support the boat in the prime minister's belly.

As for going to the lawsuit, let's forget it, those tabloids are eager for him to take them to court, but they are doing free publicity for them to increase their influence.

Originally, Ryan wanted to find time to visit Natalie, but unfortunately, the Long Island girl was not in New York. After the start of her summer vacation, she participated in a drama summer camp and went to Tennessee early.

After going around in major cities in eastern North America, on July 29th, the crew came to the last stop of the trip, Miami, a seaside resort in Florida.

With the passage of time, the box office of "Terminator 2" has become more and more horrible. After winning nearly $60 million in the box office on the first Thursday, for seven days in the second week, although the box office fell slightly, it still achieved 4,700. Multi-million dollar results.

The box office in North America exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars in two weeks after the movie was released. Even if there is still a little gap with the results of "Batman", it is also very rare. Don't forget that "Batman" is a superhero. Accumulated a large number of comic fans.

Today, "Terminator 2" has been released in North America for four weeks and has achieved a box office of nearly 160 million U.S. dollars. It is a foregone conclusion that the North American box office has exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars. At the same time, the film is in Europe, the Far East, Japan, South Korea and other places It also went online one after another, and the box office was also very popular.

said unceremoniously that this movie swept the summer vacation, and many movies have changed their release dates because of its existence.

The two teams promoted by the crew on the east and west coasts have become the focus of the entertainment media. No matter where they go, they are surrounded by a large number of movie fans, as well as dozens of major newspaper and tabloid reporters, who murdered the film in a month. It is estimated that it can be pulled from New York to Los Angeles.

James Cameron completely established his status as a master. Linda Hamilton has also become a first-line actress. As for the people who have benefited the most from the movie, it is naturally Ryan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Needless to say, Ryan, as the movie continues to sell, more and more media continue to pin the name of Hollywood’s first child star on his head, including the New York Times and The Washington Post. At least half of the fans who surround the crew during each promotion come for him.

Of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger got the most rewarding. T800 made him a superstar in Hollywood. It is said that a producer has already offered him $20 million in remuneration and invited him to join.

It is a pity that Schwarzenegger declined all of them, because he had a suitable script in his hand.

A movie fan once said in an interview with reporters, “I was not interested in the movie at first, but I walked into the theater only because I liked Ryan, but after the movie started, the tense plot and suffocating air made me I trembled with excitement. The lethal shot of T800 to T1000 made me extremely excited. I will always remember the ending of the movie. He made me cry. I like John Connor played by Ryan. I like this rebellious kindness. My future savior, I also like the T800 played by Schwarzenegger. They accompanied me through the whole movie."

"Especially T800, I like his leather jacket, sunglasses and that shotgun; I like his human heart under the metal shell. The picture of the Terminator's self-sinking furnace still rippling in my mind, the slowly descending rope, hot The furnace, watching the broken terminator slowly melting in the furnace, I don’t know what wetted my eyes, when he was about to burn out, the thumbs up smashed my heart, even though Crying in front of others seems awkward, but I really can't help it."

Ok! His own brain-remnant fans began to change to Arnold's brain-remnant fans! This is Ryan's thoughts after seeing the report, but he doesn't mind, even if he is the best acting in the movie, this movie is destined to only leave a classic image, that is T800.

After the intensive publicity journey, Ryan's body is gradually overwhelming. After all, he is in the stage of growing his body.

After returning from the theater to the Hilton Hotel that I was staying at, I really wanted to jump on the bed and get a good night’s sleep.

Cameron didn’t let Ryan relax a bit, and took him to the coffee shop. He found a quiet place to sit with him. His big beard looked at him and just smiled. Ryan was puzzled and waited. After more than ten minutes, I finally understood.

After a middle-aged man entered the coffee shop, he came straight to their table. After shaking hands with him, James Cameron introduced, "Ryan, this is Grant Hill, the production manager of Twentieth Century Fox. ."

Then, he introduced Ryan to the other party.

Grant Hill? Ryan frowned. He only knows that there is a basketball player who seems to be called by this name. Well, he has no love for basketball. I don’t remember clearly. However, he is sure that he has never seen each other before. After all, all the time, because In the relationship with News Corp, he rarely dealt with Twentieth Century Fox.

After saying hello, everyone sat down again. Ryan was so clever. He looked at the two who were talking in a low voice, and he understood what was going on.

Twentieth Century Fox is a film subsidiary of News Corporation, and also the happiest film company working with James Cameron. Ryan knew that if it were not for his appearance, the future "True Lies" "Titanic" " "Avatar" will be the product of their many cooperations.

Because of the constant attacks by tabloids represented by the "New York Post", Ryan has no good impressions of News Corp. During the production of the crew, he complained more than once. Presumably Cameron should have seen something. Only privately contributed to this meeting.

In fact, Ryan knows very well that most of the attacks from the newspapers are natural, and there is no one-cent relationship with the film company. Moreover, the hype belongs to the hype, and the business belongs to the business. These are two different things.

This is North America, and it pays more attention to practical results. After a few simple polite sentences from both sides, it quickly entered the topic.

"Ryan, Twentieth Century Fox has the intention to invest in "True Lies." I am here to ask your opinion this time." Grant Hill said.

"I gave Jim the script. I won't interfere with which film company he wants to work with. As for the price of the script, you can ask him to talk with Pat." Ryan originally wanted to account for this movie. Part of the investment, but think about the horror budget of the movie in the previous life, and then think about the little money you have on hand, forget it.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Hill asked again.

"This is Jim's movie, I'd better say less."

Seeing Cameron’s eyes, Ryan had no choice but to say, “Well, one thing, this movie is my inspiration from an old French movie. The copyright is in my hands. You probably spend more money. Some money."

The two still stared at him blankly, Ryan sighed, and had to say again, "Talk to the Pentagon and get some real Sea Harrier fighters. It's best for Arnold to learn to drive, and at least to guarantee takeoff and landing. "

"Actually..." Cameron squeezed his beard, "I really want to change the daughter in the movie to a son, and then let you play."

"Come on, Jim, then this role will be overthrown and re-started, besides, my current age is also not appropriate." Ryan didn't want to work with him again as an actor as a last resort.

What's more, in the previous life, Alisha Dushku, who played her daughter’s role, fell from a plane during the filming and had several broken ribs. He lay in the hospital for several months before God knew if he would act. , Will the same situation happen.

Grant Hill didn't expect things to be surprisingly smooth. Of course, they only need to reach an intention, and the agent will naturally talk about specific things.

After a few more words, I quickly talked about the investment in this film. Grant Hill knew that Ryan and Nicole and others had established a shell film company, and asked politely Ryan, we can actually cooperate. "

Ryan naturally understood what he was talking about, smiled and shook his head, and said, "Grant, I want to ask, how much budget do you have for this movie?"

"Currently it is 100 million U.S. dollars." Hill didn't frown when he said this.

Indeed, the big sales of "Terminator 2" made people see the strength of James Cameron, and realized that if you want to get a high box office, big investment and big production will be inevitable.

But Ryan knows that this one million dollars is definitely not enough for Cameron to splurge, and the investment amount will increase by at least 20%. Moreover, he has heard from Beard that this movie will not start until next year at the earliest. He doesn't have that much money on this project.

"Forget it, you should know that we cooperated with Warner on "Bodyguard" and with Miramax on "Yihai Xiongfeng", and currently there is not enough funds." Ryan directly refused.

When leaving, Grant Hill solemnly shook Ryan's hand, completely dealing with his peers, "Well, Ryan, I think we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

"There will be." Ryan replied politely.

Back to the living floor, before entering the room, Ryan and the oncoming Mario Casa said a few words, tomorrow he will not follow the crew activities, and will go to the seaside studio in Miami to visit.

Nicole Kidman is following the crew there to film a part of the naval scene.
