Capítulo 36: Chapter 36 New Mexico
Although it once created classic animated characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Walt Disney was not considered a top Hollywood film production company before entering the 1980s. After entering the 1980s, Michael Eisner Became the head of this animation giant.
It was during his tenure that Disney became one of the seven major film companies in Hollywood and a large media group with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.
Of course, like all powerful people, he was nepotistic and self-aggrandizing.
However, we have only entered 1991, and even if Michael Eisner is nepotistic, he still uses people with considerable ability, such as his nephew Carter Eisner.
"Carter, you did a great job!" Sitting behind the desk, Michael Eisner looked at his nephew. "He is courageous and decisive. When it is time to take action, he will never hesitate and keep going."
To be honest, he also Unexpectedly, Carter not only quickly established a foothold in Touchstone, but also achieved such outstanding results. Although everyone thought Ryan Jenkins was a super genius at the beginning, many people believed that "The Sixth Sense" could be successful. It was a coincidence that except for Miramax, everyone else was waiting and watching. Who would have thought that his nephew, who was often questioned, would take the lead and cooperate with him. As for the result, just look at "Home Alone" Just know the box office.
Since then, not only have all the doubts disappeared, allowing him to completely secure his position, even Disney's board of directors is considering whether to increase Carter's rights in the production of live-action films.
Even though Carter Eisner was proud of his heart, he still had a few words of humility in front of his uncle who was turning into a tyrant. Besides, he knew very well that he had confirmed the project of "Home Alone" against all the opinions of others, but he did not As for that young man, it's hard to say what the outcome will be.
He still remembers what director Columbus said after the movie was released, "Without Ryan, this movie would have lost at least half of its color! He is a genius, and you can't see a trace of "The Sixth Sense" from Kevin.
" Carter, build a good relationship with Ryan Jenkins." As he was about to leave the office, Michael Eisner gave a few more words, "We don't expect to win all of his works, but we must let him have When I come up with new ideas, the first thing that comes to mind is Disney!"
Back in the office at Touchstone Pictures, Carter Eisner sat on the boss's chair, thinking about his experience from the time the movie was released to the present, like a dream.
A total investment of 18 million US dollars has so far earned a box office of close to 250 million US dollars. There is still some time before the movie is released. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to surpass "The Sixth Sense" and become the annual movie. Box office champion.
You must know that this is only the North American box office. Since the movie landed in Europe and the Far East in December last year, the box office has also been soaring. He has no doubt that the overseas box office figures will not be much less than those in North America.
Even though the final compensation paid to Ryan Jenkins will definitely exceed US$8 million, no one will deny that this is an extremely cost-effective deal. The current net profit alone is almost as much as the total profit of Disney's other movies last year. The other giants have long been jealous.
Hollywood is such a big place, and it is difficult to hide any disturbances from the industry. He has already heard that major film companies are eyeing Ryan Jenkins' other works and are lobbying him and the two people closest to him.
Thinking of this, Carter not only admired Harvey Weinstein's vision, but frankly speaking, he was just picking on people's wits, and at best he was just a little more courageous than others.
But Harvey Weinstein is different. When the boy returned to Los Angeles from London, he was just an unknown person. Even though his works had already entered the best-seller list in the United States, no one knew that he was the author. In that kind of situation, Under such circumstances, Weinstein resolutely believed in his whims, purchased the script of "The Sixth Sense", and insisted that he and his guardian act in person. Miramax received a huge return, and then there was Today's status in Hollywood.
Some people may say that Miramax discovered Ryan Jenkins, but in his opinion, the situation is exactly the opposite. It was Ryan Jenkins who made Miramax what it is today. You know, "The Sixth Sense" The original script has long been circulated in Hollywood. Anyone who is not a fool will definitely buy this excellent script.
Besides, as long as Ryan Jenkins stands on the stage as a young writer, will the problems that plague newcomers still be a problem?
Carter Eisner sighed. In fact, he was also very jealous, looking at Miramax with jealousy.
Obviously, Ryan Jenkins is nostalgic and handed the third film to Miramax. This film starring Nicole Kidman will be released on Valentine's Day. If the film's box office hits again Over 100 million, which will establish his position in the screenwriting industry.
Not just that, how much money did Miramax make on The Sixth Sense? It is said that the overseas box office is close to 200 million US dollars, and more than 30 million video tapes have been sold in North America!
Oh, God! Just thinking about these data, he wished he could turn back the time to two years ago. Even if he had to swim across the Atlantic Ocean, he would go to London to sign Ryan Jenkins to Disney.
No! It's to sign with your own agency and become his agent. Look at that woman, Pie Kingsley. Just because of her, she has become one of the hottest agents in Hollywood.
Let's think about something practical! Carter opened a report, which was an authoritative organization's summary of the investigation of major Hollywood film companies last year. In a sense, it is also an important reference for the company's investment and operations.
After flipping through a few pages, he couldn't sit still. He took out Ryan Jenkins' information and read it over and over again. This boy has now become the focus of the media, as much as any Hollywood A-list star, and his whereabouts are even more It is the top priority of the paparazzi.
Of course, Touchstone has always been in close contact with Patrick Kingsley, knowing that he went to New Mexico with the crew of "Terminator 2", and it is said that he suffered a lot while filming the action scenes.
He had chatted with Nicole Kidman at a cocktail party a few days ago. He remembered that she mentioned that she was going to New Mexico to visit a class recently. This was an opportunity. After all, relationships are all about building relationships. How can we build relationships without meeting?
As for reasons and excuses, you will always find them if you look for them, right?
...
On a stretch of wasteland highway in New Mexico, several kilometers of lights illuminated half of the night sky. A huge crew of hundreds of people was busy. James Cameron stood on a temporarily built high platform and used amplification to The loudspeaker constantly directs the deployment of various departments.
In the trailer that served as a dressing room, Ryan leaned against the door and watched the makeup artist apply smearing on Schwarzenegger's face. He couldn't help but laugh, "Arnold, you look like a moldy potato!
" Potato?" Schwarzenegger straightened his expression, "Have you ever seen a potato as strong as me?"
"Okay, Ryan, stop making trouble here. If you can't finish it on time, it's time for James to get angry again." Put on makeup. The teacher showed a begging smile.
"Okay, I'll go out first." Ryan shrugged, walked out of the trailer, and looked at the long line of lights outside, as far as the eye could see.
What was to be filmed here was the highway chase scene at the end of the film. The crew's original plan was to rent a section of the highway from Los Angeles to Long Beach, and the state government agreed.
But the changes were 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 shoot on a desert highway.
What's rare is that James Cameron didn't get angry, but considering that the cost was nearly half cheaper and the road closure time was unlimited at night, you can actually understand.
This sex scene is definitely a big deal. Not only were cars and helicopters mobilized, more than 800 people participated in the filming, but because it was a night scene, the prop team pulled more than ten kilometers of cables to illuminate this section of the road with lights. brightly lit.
Arrangement of large scenes is not an easy task. After watching so many movies in his previous life, in Ryan's eyes, the ones who have the strongest control over large scenes are undoubtedly James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and the New Zealand Fat Man.
"Wow!"
Ryan pulled the bolt of the M16. This prop gun looked no different from the real gun in appearance, but it was much lighter. In the next scene, Linda would use it to shoot with the T1000.
"Scene 32, Scene 56, begin!"
Sarah Connor hid behind the door of the box-type police car and started a fierce gun battle with the T1000. The police car shook violently.
It seems a little crazy, but in fact it just stays in place. The fire explosion on the scene is just a small fireball. Those effects that look dazzling in the movie are almost all added in post-production.
In this set of shots, Ryan is completely fooling around. He huddles in the corner of the box-type police car, holding two Kevlar body armors with his retracted hands to prevent them from slipping off his body.
In such action scenes, despite adequate protective measures, accidents will always happen inadvertently.
When Linda Hamilton stepped out from behind the car door and fired, she used too much force and accidentally fell out of the car. Her knees hit the car door hard, making a "thud" sound.
The closest person to her was Ryan. He jumped up and jumped out of the car. He saw cold sweat breaking out on the painful face of the female man, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Doctor! Come here, someone is injured!" Ryan shouted to the crew.
Several people, including Cameron, rushed over in an instant. The doctor on the set quickly checked Linda and breathed a sigh of relief, "There should be no broken bones."
"Rest for half an hour!"
James Card Mellon shouted loudly and then moved closer to Linda, looking like a good lover.
