Chapter 208： Poison

In order to fit the plot conceived by Ryan and enhance the realism of the film, as early as last year, James Cameron invited a number of sailors, scientists, photographers and historians from the United States, Russia and Canada to organize Twelve dives and watch the big ship sinking on the bottom of the sea up close.

During the period, the crew leased the world's largest deep-sea research ship-Russia's Keldish Academy-relying on the help of two Mir submarines on board, this filmed the wreck of the Titanic.

The film’s pre-publicity has already started. Ryan commissioned Yahoo to produce several websites about diving and the Titanic shipwreck, using the catastrophe itself as one of the main promotional methods.

After entering mid-May, the actors were in place one after another, and the news that the crew was about to start up also spread back to North America. A large number of reporters and paparazzi flocked to the beach. Rosario immediately became the focus of the entertainment media.

Ryan and several other film companies jointly invested 220 million US dollars to create an epic masterpiece about the Titanic shipwreck. The news has long been spread, and the huge model ship standing in the water tank on the beach cannot be blocked. Strong evidence.

Like all successful people, Ryan and Cameron have their own auras, and many media believe that they will continue to succeed like the previous two cooperations.

Similarly, many media have voiced doubts. After all, the $220 million shooting budget has once again allowed James Cameron to set a record in Hollywood. Some people with bad intentions have been waiting to see Ryan's joke.

"Instead of taking a huge sum of 220 million yuan to take a risk to shoot a film that I don't know so-called, it would be better to donate it to a charity organization, which will make more sense." This is what Gary Graham said in his column.

This orthodox descendant of the self-proclaimed Mayflower immigrant has always been a vanguard against Ryan Jenkins.

No matter how the media reports, it is impossible for this film to stop. To this day, the crew has spent a huge amount of US$150 million in preliminary preparations, even if the other three parties withdrew. Ryan will also support this project alone.

After the main actors arrived, the full-time etiquette coach Ryan hired from England also came to Rosario. This rigorous coach who had trained him in the past will teach the actors the upper class in 1912 in the next period of time. Social etiquette.

Ryan, Jon Landau and James Cameron formed the core part of the crew. Among them, James Cameron was the main part. Do your best in every detail.

"There has never been a perfect movie in this world, we just try to make "Titanic" as close to perfect as possible!" Ryan once said to the other two.

In order to be fully involved in the filming of this movie. Ryan even temporarily threw away the script writing that never stopped every day. This movie in the past life is great enough. Then, in this world, it will become even greater in his hands.

After nearly two and a half years of preliminary preparations, the crew finally officially announced the opening in late May. The first filming was the scene of Elder Ruth. Gloria Stewart is over eighty years old, and it is impossible to stay in Mexico for a long time.

The crew once again leased the Keldish Academy research ship from Russia, and dozens of crew members, including Ryan, boarded the world's most advanced ocean-going research ship.

There is no Ryan's role here. Most of the time he stood behind James Cameron, watching how the tyrant on the set mobilized the entire team, and the angry roar that sounded from listening to him at that time.

Ryan can't remember where he has seen it. Personal success is bound to have a growing temper. Now James Cameron has more than doubled his temper compared to when he filmed "Terminator 2". He is usually a kind person, but when he sits in the director's chair, he will immediately complete a transformation.

He is too irritable! This is Ryan's personal summary.

"Cut!" Cameron stopped just as he shouted to start.

He went back and forth in the cabin, furious. "Leo, what have you done? I want an orange filter plate, what is it now? How many times did you make a mistake today? Our time and money are all wasted on you..."

James Cameron’s words were like a cannonball, and he madly attacked a member of the filming crew. In the empty front cabin of the expedition ship, only his voice was surging back.

Just like Cameron said, this is not the first time the assistant photographer has made a mistake, because one person’s mistake has dragged down the entire crew. This kind of thing is naturally intolerable by the director.

"Let's stop here today!"

Checking the time, James Cameron announced that the filming was temporarily over.

"Why on earth?" Ryan walked near the camera. Russell Carpenter is one of the best photographers in Hollywood. How could his men make low-level mistakes one after another?

"Leo only joined our team last month." Russell Carpenter was a little embarrassed. "In the past few jobs, he showed excellent professionalism. Who knows..."

He helplessly spread his hands.

Turns out to be a newcomer! Ryan patted him on the shoulder, ready to go over and persuade James Cameron a few words, this guy is still losing his temper, it seems that he is not ready to eat dinner.

"Ryan, Nicole's phone." George walked over with the satellite phone.

"That's it, James." Ryan took the phone and walked out of the cabin, walking along the ship's side to the stern.

"This is really good news, Nicole, I thought you were going to be based in Scotland."

"Small Island" is finally closed, which is longer than the scheduled shooting time.

"My dear, this is not what you should say now." Nicole's voice was obviously tired, "Where are you, why is the wind so strong?"

"At sea." Ryan said briefly about the current environment, "on the open sea near Baja California."

"Well... I will be back in Los Angeles soon. I will take a short vacation after I go back. I will go to Mexico to visit your class."

"That's great, Nicole, you know what, I miss you so much." Ryan heard the footsteps, and when he looked back, George was not far and near right behind him.

"My dear, I miss you too." Even on the phone, Ryan could hear the affection in Nicole's words.

"Then see me earlier." Ryan lowered his voice, "Nicole. I want to hold you..."

"Ryan..."

Except for the sound of the wind, the two ends of the satellite phone are left with the sound of breathing. The two did not say a word, but they could clearly feel each other's hearts. The distance of tens of thousands of miles could not stop the two closer and closer. heart.

"That's it, Ryan, will you wait for me in Mexico?"

"I will wait for you, Nicole, anytime."

After hanging up the phone. Ryan found out that he didn't know it. He has reached the restaurant at the stern of the ship. It's quiet here, no one can be seen.

Now that he is here, Ryan is not going to return to the front cabin, anyway, it's about to start dinner. The crew of the crew will come here for dinner in at most ten minutes.

Walking to the large window on the side of the restaurant, Ryan looked inside through the thick glass. The long metal table was filled with all kinds of buffet meals, and steamed steam on the other side. It should be an indispensable seafood soup for every meal after boarding.

Ryan half-turned around, just about to leave near the window, walked around the aisle next to the restaurant, but keenly caught a figure out of the corner of his eye.

That man was Leo who was drooled by James Cameron. He entered the restaurant from the side door, quickly walked to the seafood soup, took out a delicate small bottle, unscrewed the bottle cap and spilled something into the soup.

What is he doing? Ryan didn't even think about it, so he gestured to George not far away. George rushed to the front door of the restaurant like a cheetah, not forgetting to glance in through the window.

Ryan also quickly followed, and when he rushed to the door of the restaurant, he heard the screams and loud noises that seemed to be the result of a person falling. When he entered the restaurant, he saw that George had subdued the guy and was using white The handkerchief picked up the bottle.

"Fa...did something happen?" A chef ran into the dining room from the kitchen.

"Call the security personnel on board and notify Director Cameron." Ryan said quickly.

"Okay... OK." These chefs were specially hired by the crew, and naturally understood the weight of Ryan's words.

"Let go of me, let me go!"

The guy was still struggling unwillingly even though George tied his hands back with a belt, "You are illegally detained! I will file a lawsuit in the court!"

"Procedure?" Ryan had a mocking smile, not to mention what this guy did, but here is the open sea far from the coastline.

"Ryan! Ryan!"

Dense footsteps and James Cameron’s anxious shouts came from outside the restaurant, and he was relieved when he entered the restaurant and saw Ryan standing there intact.

Even today, James Cameron still remembers what happened when filming "Terminator 2", because Ryan suffered some minor injuries, the crazy woman Nicole Kidman had a big fight with him. , Although he is not afraid of her, but who wants to face a hysterical woman.

"What happened?" Cameron looked at Leo who was lying on the ground and looked at George who was stepping on him.

"I was passing by the restaurant just now and just saw this Mr. Leo adding this stuff to our seafood bisque..." Ryan pointed to the bottle that George wrapped in a white handkerchief.

"This is phencyclidine!" George said. "It is a central nervous psychedelic agent. The amount he added is enough to poison more than 50 people. In severe cases, it may cause the heart to stop."

"what?"

Including Cameron, those who arrived afterwards glared at the guy on the ground.

"George is right." The physician is a must-have for every crew. He glanced at it and sniffed it again. "It's phencyclidine. This is a secondary drug."

ps:

Note... During the shooting on the expedition ship, someone in the photography team poisoned 50 people, including Cameron, who were admitted to the hospital. This is a real incident. ()
