Chapter 192： Unprecedented investment

In the small living room of the villa, after serving coffee and black tea, Nicole walked out with the servant. She knew that they were going to talk about the movie project next. In this respect, she had great confidence in Ryan, and Ryan En's past achievements have also proved this, even if it was a super large production with a budget of up to 200 million US dollars.

Ryan and James Cameron have given the script and related information to everyone present, and they must have discussed them in their respective companies.

"Paramount Pictures can invest 40 million US dollars!" The first person who spoke was Shirley Lansing, and her words went straight to the subject.

"Forty million U.S. dollars, this is also the investment amount of 20th Century Fox." Grant Hill said immediately.

"And Miramax!" Harvey Weinstein did not hesitate. He had contact with Ryan earlier and more, and his confidence was stronger. "We also invested 40 million US dollars!"

Counting the 100 million US dollars budget given by Jenkins Pictures, the production cost of this film has reached 220 million US dollars. If their conversation is learned by the outside world, it will not only shake Hollywood, but the entire world film industry. .

Of course, these investments will only be put in place in the next few years. Neither Ryan nor the company represented by the other three are fools. To put such a huge amount of money on a project for a long time, it can only be foolish. To describe.

Besides, with 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 US dollars, plus the promotion and marketing budget, it will really become a bottomless pit...

"Well, we have reached our intention." Ryan held the black tea in front of him, "Are we going to have a drink to celebrate."

Everyone laughed, either holding black tea or coffee, and taking a big sip at the same time.

"Jim..." Ryan looked at Cameron, but the other party made a please gesture to him, "Ryan, this project is your proposal. You are also the largest investor, so let's talk about it next. "

Recently, Ryan and James Cameron exchanged a lot of opinions on the preliminary work of the film through many phone calls.

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

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

"We will spend more than two years doing preliminary preparations, hiring professional historians and engineers to guide the construction of a one-to-one model ship of the Titanic, and try our best to order a variety of furniture, accessories and accessories from the original manufacturer. For the equipment, Jim has contacted Hanand Wolfe Shipyard. He has obtained a copy of the design drawings of the Titanic. And the design notes of the chief designer Thomas Andrews."

"We will do our best to restore that big ship!" Ryan was full of confidence in his words. "Jim. It's up to you to add the rest."

"Ok!"

James Cameron nodded, "After the New Year, I will formally devote myself to the preparatory work. I have already contacted the Russian ocean expedition ship Keldish Academy. I will take the photography team to the Atlantic Ocean. Watching the shipwreck up close under the sea, Digital Domain and Ryan’s Blue Sky Studio will take on the post-production special effects of the movie..."

Compared to Ryan, Cameron said more and more detailed, after all, he is an expert in this area, even for the sake of future funding, he also needs to take the most rigorous attitude.

Unprecedented huge investment also means unprecedented huge pressure!

After James Cameron finished speaking, Ryan slowly knocked on the arm of the chair, "Everyone. I think we will work together to create a new record!"

Facing the eyes cast by everyone, Ryan just smiled and said nothing. He chose these three cooperation carefully!

Paramount Pictures has strong overseas market development capabilities, and the parent company of Twentieth Century Fox controls numerous media. Miramax is a great tool for public relations!

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

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

Ryan didn't say anything, just made a gesture to speak.

"How about you come to play Jack?" Ryan just wanted to speak, but James Cameron stopped him with gestures. He went on to say, "In my plan, how can the film officially start shooting until the summer of 1996? You were over sixteen by then, and you were no longer a child."

"This..." Ryan scratched his head. He didn't expect Cameron to have such a proposal.

"Yes, this is a good idea!"

The other three people all gave voices of approval. No one wants to see his investment fail. Although Ryan lacks a heavyweight role recently, his appeal is still huge. Letting him play one of the protagonists is equivalent to adding a movie to the movie. Insurance.

They had all read the script, and naturally knew what kind of role Jack Dawson was, and they couldn't help taking a closer look at Ryan.

There are many crippled child stars in Hollywood. Ryan Jenkins will be fourteen years old in a few days. The future looks can be seen. As long as there is no major accident, this will definitely be a handsome guy.

Although Ryan didn't accept it personally 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 pulled her a bit. "Here is Lisa."

"Okay." Nicole followed him and walked towards the living room. "Done talking?"

"After the New Year, James will take his team to start the preliminary preparations."

Ryan pressed Nicole on the sofa, "I'm tired, take a rest and go back to the room to sleep."

"Yeah~"

Nicole nodded subconsciously, and suddenly realized that she had always asked him to do this...

"Sit down and talk to me for a while." Nicole pointed to her side, "Sit here."

"Okay, dear." Ryan sat next to her, grabbed a strand of golden red hair casually, wrapped it naughty between her fingers, "Nicole, is "Batman Forever" about to start up? ?"

"Next month." Nicole tilted her head to Ryan's side. "First shoot in the studio. Then go out."

"We're going to be busy again." Ryan sighed. After the New Year, he will promote the new album and the new Harry Potter episode.

…………

On the first day of the New Year’s holiday, tens of thousands of young people gathered in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza. After two years, they finally ushered in the idol’s second solo album.

"The empty street, the empty house, the empty heart, I am so lonely... My love, I always insist. Getting this love is so far away. So I prayed in a low voice. I hope she can Hearing the call from my heart, there is a clear blue sky, where is the person I want to meet the most, my love!"

A romantic pop ballad was uploaded on the stage. There is a bitter and sweet emotion in the singing. This is not just a love song, it seems to contain too many complicated things.

The person who grew up with them, radiated brilliance and became their idol, has grown up! This is the feeling of many fans.

Ryan grew up and began to sing love songs, looking for his own love!

"Thank you for your support!" Ryan retracted his mind, pointed to the crowd under the stage, and shouted. "All the time, you have been my strongest supporters. Los Angeles is my home, and you are my relatives. Below is a pop rock. Dedicated to everyone who loves me, ""!"

The heavy drum beats, the crazy electronic accompaniment sound is invigorating, and then Ryan's high-pitched voice.

"I remember the sky full of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, I can remember every moment of the encounter, even if the time begins to blur, in the startling omen, the only thing I can hear is your voice, I get Am I supposed to get it? Then give me a reason to prove that I was wrong, and then clean all my memories so that there is no longer a distance between the two pairs of blue eyes..."

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

"Crossing the inner gap, there is nothing left in my heart, except you and me! The earth is collapsing under our feet, I will only hear your voice..."

The passionate music ignited the enthusiasm of everyone below the stage. They shouted Ryan's name and seemed to want their idols to continue singing, singing for them forever!

"Encore! Encore!"

The sound of tens of thousands of people shouting neatly has almost spread throughout the small seaside town of Santa Monica. Tourists from all over the world unconsciously cast their eyes in the direction of the sound, and there is a lot of curiosity. The audience gathered towards the commercial plaza, and under the influence of the general environment, they began to turn towards Ryan's fans.

Ryan returned to the stage in the sound of ‘encore’ that pierced through the sky, "Well, today’s last song, "People Around"!"

This is a soothing love song originally created by Ryan. In the mixed accompaniment of piano and guitar, his singing seems to bring magic power, and it easily calms the restless emotions under the stage. Many people can't help but immerse in the melodious music. .

After the live performance, it is naturally a routine signing. Compared with last year, the line up this year is longer. Ryan heard the record company mention that as early as yesterday, a team of hundreds of people gathered here just for the first time. Get his autographed record in no time.

"Need a break?"

Ryan just walked back to the lounge of the record store and Nicole greeted him.

"No more." Ryan scanned her light blue eyes, nothing unusual.

That's it for now! Ryan frowned and walked out, not seeing Nicole Kidman staring at his back, startled.

With the release of the second album, Ryan is busy again. He will start a massive publicity campaign with Los Angeles as the starting point and New York as the ending point. He will not be back until the end of the month after flying out of Los Angeles.

Nicole also started a new job, she and Fang Jimo co-starred in the "Batman Forever" male and female number one, and most of the time in the next month will be spent on the set.

In reluctance, the two were separated temporarily, but no one would think that when they meet again, everything will change.

ps:

Four more sent! Recently, it has been a bit dull. When I wrote this, it happened to be the beginning of the crackdown. I deleted everything originally written, including tomorrow’s two chapters about Ryan and Nicole. I have changed several times. We declare that there is absolutely no soft play. God does not need to look at me. ()
