Chapter 160： Big Ship in Southampton

When the two big investment and big productions get together and released, although the quality of the film is the decisive factor in the box office, the impact of publicity and hype should not be ignored. Ryan also tried his best to cooperate with the crew’s publicity plan as "Jurassic Park "Create momentum.

After deciding on the schedule, Universal Pictures first released the trailer edited by Spielberg himself. The premiere date on June 3 and the few dinosaur special effects shots are very conspicuous. Many people understand that the two investment Films worth around $70 million will be compared in the summer.

This is a very normal business competition. No one can say anything. Although Ryan Jenkins’ gossip about Tom Cruise spread throughout the United States within a few days, neither Universal Pictures nor Sony Columbia said anything. Instead of wasting saliva on this, it is better to do the preliminary work before the movie is released.

It’s still far from the movie’s release, and Ryan is barely shirtless. As one of his side's trump cards, he naturally has to appear at a critical moment.

Ok! This is just his contented thought.

The Audi parked in front of the Planet Hollywood restaurant, waiting for the two cars in front to put down the passengers in it. Ryan turned his head and looked to the rear. The old Ford was like the twin brother of the Audi. It was not far away. Shake slowly.

Now, Ryan already knows that the Latin paparazzi is called Garcia Rodriguez. He was once a soldier. Because of discrimination, he beat a white officer and was removed from the army.

Of course, this was not told to him, but George checked the guy's old days clearly through the relationship.

"George, find a chance to talk to him." Ryan whispered.

"I understand." George answered.

It’s not difficult to live a decent life, is it? Ryan glanced at the Ford again.

After getting out of the car, the first thing that caught Ryan's eyes was the reporter's flashing light and the short red carpet, and he couldn't help but sigh. The restaurant that Stallone and Schwarzenegger had worked hard to save their investment.

Although the Planet Hollywood restaurant has attracted people's attention after its opening, the three big action superstars are not the stuff of business at all. Although it has hired a dedicated manager, the passenger flow seems to be not small, but it has been unable to make ends meet for more than a year.

Bruce Willis simply withdrew, while Stallone and Schwarzenegger used their influence to continuously advertise the restaurant. Even the future governor has been sitting in the most conspicuous position of the restaurant every day in recent months. Have breakfast and occasionally call friends to hold parties here.

He is the host of this party tonight. Not only invited many Hollywood stars, big and small, but also a lot of media, hoping to use this method to make a loud advertisement for the restaurant.

Ryan beckoned to the reporter, walked to the door of the restaurant, and saw the sturdy figure of Schwarzenegger from a distance. The brown-haired woman next to him should be his wife, John F. Kennedy's niece. Leah Schlevo.

People's impression of Schwarzenegger is mostly a muscular man on the screen. In fact, he has a very high IQ, which can be seen from the choice of his wife. It is difficult to say whether he has plans to enter politics in the future.

"Hi, Arnold." Ryan dissipated the mess of thoughts. He strode up, shook his hand firmly with Schwarzenegger, and turned to the other side, "Ms. Schlevor. Hello."

"Hello, Ryan, just call me Mary."

"It's a great honor. Mary." She shook his hand gently with the other party, and Ryan stopped Schwarzenegger, "Hey, Arnold, we are old friends, so we don't need this kind of politeness."

"Well, Ryan, Jim, they are all inside."

Schwarzenegger stopped and whispered a few words to a waiter, who led Ryan into it.

The guests tonight are not only Hollywood stars, but also many business celebrities. Ryan occasionally greets people he knows. After turning a corner, he quickly saw James Cameron.

He was standing with Linda Hamilton and was discussing something with several other people. After seeing Ryan, his eyes couldn't help but brighten.

"Ryan, here."

"Hi, Jim, and Linda, it's been a long time."

Ryan greeted the people around him, "May I know what you are discussing, Jim?"

"In addition to movies, what else can we discuss?" Shirley Lansing of Paramount was talking. "The two movies started almost at the same time. "Jurassic Park" is about to be released, "True Lies." There is still a little distance from completion."

"Meticulous production, the requirements for every detail are almost strict. Isn't this the style of James Cameron?" Ryan spread out and said witty.

"Yes, even if "True Lies" is completed, it's best to postpone it until July. Are we going to face the competition of "Jurassic Park", it will definitely be a disaster." Grant Hill Then I interrupted, "Not every film company has the courage of Sony Columbia. If you don't talk about movie fans, Ryan's book fans alone will be enough to push the box office of this movie to a terrifying number."

"By the way, Ryan, don't you consider the film adaptation of the Harry Potter series?" Shirley Lansing meant something.

"I won't think about it in a short time. The current film technology can't make the picture I imagined, even if it is Industrial Light and Magic." Ryan knows very well that many film companies are eyeing their eyes. If "Jurassic Park" is a big success, This situation will go further.

"That's a shame. Many people want to see our little wizard waving a little magic wand on the big screen one day earlier."

After a few more chats, Grant Hill and Shirley Lansing went to the other side to socialize, and Linda Hamilton was also taken away by a woman.

"Oh, it's so pitiful, we are the only two men left." Cameron sighed, then squeezed his eyes and said, "Ryan, I heard you are buying Pixar?"

There is no permanent secret in this circle. As the negotiation time gets longer and longer, the news naturally spreads out.

"Yes, it's almost done."

Ryan had nothing to say, and nodded directly.

"Oh, God, am I going to bring you to invest together?" Cameron waved his hand.

"Invest? What to invest in?" Ryan frowned strangely.

"Stan Winston and I plan to jointly establish a special effects studio."

Hearing Cameron's words, Ryan gradually remembered, isn't it, Hollywood's second largest special effects company in the digital field was born in their hands.

"That can only be said to be sorry, Jim, I currently have no funds on hand." Ryan shrugged helplessly and joked, "If you agree to the credit, I will definitely join it."

Cameron just smiled, and Ryan naturally understood that friendship belongs to friendship and business belongs to business.

"Or, we jointly invest in a movie." Cameron suddenly changed the subject. "How about Spider-Man?"

"Spider-Man?" Ryan pouted, "Come on, Jim, the copyright is in the hands of the Japanese."

"These are not problems. In fact, I intend to invite you to write the script together. Of course, that will be after the completion of "True Lies."

"Really?" Ryan laughed unscrupulously, "Let me think about it, you will let Peter Parker get stuck in a cage of thoughts, and the whole movie will be completely darkened. Maybe you will let Peter Parker. And Mary Jane was up and down the Brooklyn Bridge..."

"How did you guess?" Cameron's mouth opened in surprise.

"You all said you guessed it, of course you guessed it. Based on what I know about you, it's not difficult, isn't it?" Ryan finished his words casually, and said, "You are better at technology and machinery, why? Do not continue to develop in this area?"

Ryan knows very well that this guy is a crazy Spider-Man fan. If it is possible to get the copyright, he would really go to make this movie.

"Do you have a new idea?"

"Of course, the premise is that "True Lies" can be a big success, otherwise where to find 200 million US dollars in investment?"

In order to prevent any accidents, Ryan is writing "Titanic" in the script, which will be handed over to this guy after completion.

"I think Ryan Jenkins works are more box-office appealing than James Cameron's works right now?" Cameron joked, and then became serious, "Let’s talk about it, here are the two of us."

"Then... okay." Ryan lifted his chin and circled Cameron. "Jim, I heard that you like diving. You rented a submarine last vacation and went to the Atlantic Ocean?"

"Yes." Cameron nodded.

"Then you are not going to see the huge ship that sank in the early twentieth century, the one that sailed out of Southampton Harbor?" Ryan reminded.

"Southampton? You mean..." James Cameron suddenly realized, Ryan interrupted him, "Yes, think about it, if you replicate the one-to-one giant ship and reproduce the shipwreck, of course What do you think is fairy-tale love among them?"

Cameron realized why Ryan said it was an investment of 200 million US dollars. Even if it was to build a model that would not start, it would cost tens of millions of dollars. This is really a crazy idea.

But this suits his appetite.

"Jim, if you take a vacation this time, how about going to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see the huge ship in person?" Ryan said in a seductive tone.

"Okay, Ryan, as long as you are together."

James Cameron immediately countered.

"Hi, what are you talking about?" Schwarzenegger and Shirley Lansing walked over together.

"Nothing, Ryan's new idea and new script." Cameron answered casually.

"Really, Ryan?" Shirley Lansing's eyes lit up immediately, "If possible, would you give Paramount a priority?"

"Come on, Shirley, are you sure Paramount still has the energy to invest in new movies?" Grant Hill didn't know when he returned.
