Rebirth In Hollywood

In fact, some of the people here know more or less about what Ryan said. Maybe James Cameron will not care about it. After all, he is a pure director and producer. Shirley Lansing and Grant Hill is a manager of his respective company, so how can he not know the dynamics of the market.

However, in his previous life, he was engaged in the work of the cinema chain, and when it comes to his understanding of the Chinese film market, Ryan can get rid of them ten streets.

"But they are still poor and backward..."

Ryan directly interrupted Grant Hill's words with a wave, "Yes, they are still a little behind, but Grant, have you ever thought about it, they only started to develop in the early 1980s, and what have they become now, they created An economic miracle, in the next few years, they will develop even faster. With money, they naturally need entertainment. You should have seen the Chinese movies that Miramax introduced to North America. Do you think they can compete with us? Do you think the vast majority of audiences like to watch that kind of dull movie?"

Shirley Lansing and Grant Hill smiled. As professionals who are interested in exploring the Chinese market, they have naturally watched a few movies from China. Frankly speaking, they are studying European styles. As for European movies? The entire European market is about to be captured by the big Hollywood productions.

However, Ryan didn't let them go, and continued, "Think about it, in a market of more than one billion people, as long as one percent of them can buy tickets, what a huge number it will be!"

For a time, Shirley Lansing and Grant Hill both fell into contemplation, Ryan's picture of the future is too fascinating, who wouldn't want to open that market?

"So!" Ryan twitched his knuckles and tapped the armrest of the chair, "In the films we make, we try to avoid Chinese as villains. If there must be Asian villains, we can choose the first military power in the universe. and his fat marshal!"

Probably because he was used to joking, Ryan said the following words without thinking, and a few people were confused for a while. They could understand that for the Chinese market, Chinese people should not be villains in movies, just like Hollywood did for the Japanese and Korean markets, but the universe What is the first military power? And the fat marshal?

Fortunately, Ryan immediately realized that he had missed his mouth and explained, "North Korea!"

Slowly tapping his fingers, Ryan recalled some situations in his previous life. There is no doubt that the boss of Chinese movies is a mountain eagle. Hollywood blockbusters are not allowed to enter China in advance.

He sighed softly, he really couldn't remember.

Speaking of which, I’m so long-winded, I just want the filmmakers over there to broaden their horizons in advance. It is inevitable that Hollywood movies will enter the mainland. If you can make some people open their eyes earlier, don’t hold it all day long. If European things are not released, Chinese films may have a different future.

In any case, he was also a part of this industry in his previous life. Although he was at the bottom, he sincerely hoped that there would be an Eastern Hollywood, even if he knew that it was a distant fantasy.

But on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, after all, the cultural heritage is profound. As long as those people understand what the audience wants to watch earlier, maybe they can still resist when facing a Hollywood blockbuster, unlike the previous life, when a Hollywood blockbuster came out, Domestic films have shied away.

The commercialization of art is like the commercialization of professional sports. It cannot be avoided. Only by going head-to-head can the gap be narrowed. Ryan can't help but think of the "DOG.MA95" declaration that the film circle in his previous life regarded as a treasure.

He would like to ask those people, are you making movies for yourself? Or for the audience to see?

As for the 'DOG.MA95' manifesto, what is that...

In the past life or this life without chaos, Ryan grew up in a cold and indifferent atmosphere. He is used to seeing the dark side of society. He never thinks how noble he is. In addition to thinking about the people around him, he is more often than not. Profit at the head.

Doing this is just a wake-up call for the other side, no matter whether this approach is right or wrong, useful or useless, it is an explanation for the soul from the other side.

Of course, that's all, he's not so stupid that he can't tell his identity.

After all, he is just a kid, and his identity has already determined his position. If some people don't work hard, then don't complain about the market and the audience.

I just need to know what I'm doing and what I care about and that's enough! Ryan sighed in his heart, leaving aside the change of identity. He only had one person he cared about in his past life, but he has two temporarily in this life, Nico is one, and Natalie can barely count as the other.

The shooting of "True Lies" is still going on. James Cameron is famous for his slow work and meticulous work. Although the media reporters around him have been harassing him, his name as a tyrant has spread all over the world after "Terminator 2". Inside and outside the circle, under the almost strict regulations, no one dared to break the news to the media easily.

A few days later, there was good news from those responsible for communicating with the Pentagon that the military would provide three Sea Harriers for the film, but the appearance fee was expensive, and each plane would be paid as much as $100,000.

The sea breeze was rustling, and the voices of people on the empty Seven Mile Bridge in the past were boiling. The crew's equipment trailer and the helicopter used for filming were parked nearby.

It was impossible for the crew to shoot on the bridge that crossed the sea with cars coming and going, so they had to requisition the abandoned 'Seven Mile' bridge. James Cameron had no talent for burning money, not only did he lease a few of them The helicopter also temporarily repaired the gap that the bridge deliberately blew up.

"Ryan, are you interested in being my assistant?" In the center of the crowd, James Cameron patted the camera beside him, as if he was going to fight in person.

"No problem." As a temporary assistant anyway, Ryan felt that it was no big deal.

"Jim~Jim~"

After putting on makeup, Jamie Lee Curtis walked over in a hurry, still a little excited, "Don't use a stand-in? You mean to let me play in person..."

Listening to Jamie Lee Curtis's barrage of words, Ryan understood roughly what was going on, and the next shot was Schwarzenegger grabbing Jamie Lee Curtis from the helicopter and getting out of danger In the scene, and flying over the sea, Schwarzenegger's role is naturally completed by a stand-in, but in order to enhance the sense of reality, Cameron asked Curtis to play in person.

This... It's crazy, Jamie Lee Curtis is one of Hollywood's most popular actresses, and she can refuse James Cameron's request.

However, something unexpected happened.

Jamie Lee Curtis pointed to his chin and asked James Cameron, "What are you going to do when I'm hanging in the air?"

"I'll stick out of the cabin and take a picture of you with a handheld camera!" As if to strengthen his tone, Cameron also took a picture of the camera next to him.

Obviously, this sentence was beyond everyone's expectations. After being stunned for a while, Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed, "Really?"

"Really!" Cameron pointed to him in order to strengthen his persuasion. "Jamie, Ryan will act as my assistant. You should be satisfied with this, right?"

"Okay! I'm done!"

Jamie Lee Curtis agreed without hesitation.

"Wait...wait..." Ryan reacted, as if he was forcibly pulled onto the pirate ship by James Cameron.

"Hey, Ryan, aren't you going to go back on your word?" Cameron stopped in a sentence.

Repent? I don't even know if it's okay to shoot in a helicopter? Ryan understood, usually he digs a hole and waits for others to jump, but today Cameron dug a hole and waited for himself to jump down, but he jumped down stupidly.

Although he had unknowingly stayed away from possible dangers since his rebirth, he still disdainfully regretted such a thing in public. After communicating with another security assistant of Cameron, he changed into his safety suit and communicated with the person carrying the camera. Beard got on the helicopter.

"Check your seat belts!" the pilot shouted.

"No problem!" Ryan gave a thumbs up to the front and made an OK gesture to George below.

The sound of the propeller was humming, and the whirring of the wind was raging everywhere. Ryan looked out the window and saw that the plane was slowly leaving the ground and rising towards the sky.

"Prepare! Prep!"

The safety assistant alerted the stuntman and Jamie Lee Curtis below the plane with a loudspeaker.

"Ah~"

As the helicopter flew off the deck and over the ocean, Ryan's signature scream reached Ryan's ears, and he turned to look down.

Jamie Lee Curtis is like a human-shaped gourd hanging under the helicopter. At this time, there is no need for acting skills at all. The strong wind brought by the propeller and the blowing sea water continue to fall on her body. It was her who had been shooting horror movies for a long time, but she screamed in panic.

"Left! Left!"

James Cameron took every detail to the extreme, constantly reminding the pilot to fine-tune his direction so he could get the best angle for the shot.

"Ryan, do you want to try?"

In the buzzing noise, James Cameron's abusive voice came over, and Ryan refused without thinking, "I'll be your assistant."

Then, I added in my heart, I'll be fine with soy sauce, you should do the dangerous things.

"OK! That's it, keep flying!"

Some movie actors and directors are lunatics in a way, like these two Ryan met today.

James Cameron quickly adjusted his seatbelt, leaned most of his body out of the cabin, and while carrying the handheld camera in one hand, the other hand kept gesturing to Jamie Lee Curtis to remind him She noticed that filming was about to begin.

It's just a camera and not a life! Ryan's eyes widened. If it weren't for those seat belts, Cameron would have fallen off the plane 200% and fell into the sea.

As a precaution, Ryan and the security assistant grabbed the buckle on Cameron's safety suit. If there is an accident, they can pull the guy.

This... is really an industry that lunatics act, lunatic filming, and countless lunatics are waiting for!
