Chapter 207 How the money is burned
ps: The fourth update today!
Several thick large suitcases were sent into the plane's luggage compartment by the staff. Ryan and George got into the cabin one after another and found that James Cameron was talking to a plump actress.
This woman is Kate Winslet.
This is a private business jet belonging to James Cameron, which will carry them to Rosario, Mexico, with the target of the crew of the big ship.
"Ryan, you're always the last one."
After Ryan and the others sat opposite him, James Cameron shook his finger.
"Sorry, Jim." Ryan just smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all. "I have more luggage, so it's more troublesome to pack it up."
"I saw it." Cameron pointed out the window and teased, "Ryan, you really suspect you are moving."
"Move?" Ryan fought back without hesitation. "If I move, I will fill every inch of the plane."
"Why don't you buy your own plane? I remember you are sixteen years old." Cameron deliberately squeezed his eyes.
"I..." Ryan patted his forehead, "I forgot, okay, Jim, thank you for your reminder. Can I borrow your plane for my trip in the future?"
"You're so stingy." James Cameron made a pun, "It seems that there are not many Hollywood actors who are richer than you, right?"
"Come on, Jim." Ryan naturally understood what he meant, "I said, I will consider the additional budget."
Kate Winslet didn't understand what was going on. James Cameron and Ryan Jenkins next to him had completed a language confrontation.
"May I ask, can you ask what you are talking about?" She blinked and asked curiously.
"Hello, Miss Winslet...Okay, Kate." Ryan stretched out his hand and gently shook her. This is her partner in the next few months.
"Okay. Everyone, tie your seat belts and take off soon." James Cameron reminded.
James Cameron's Gulfstream business jet is extremely luxurious. After "The True Lies" was removed from North America, Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox exchanged his share of the plane after soliciting his opinions.
"Do you want something to drink?"
This business jet was equipped with a flight attendant. Well... like all the women Cameron admired, a typical tall and mighty royal sister.
"Juice, thank you."
Ryan just picked up the juice and James Cameron said again. "Ryan, I heard that Marvel has taken back Spider-Man's film copyright?"
"That's right." Ryan pointed, which was not a secret in the industry, and waved his hand to stop what the other party wanted to say, "Stop, Jim! I understand what you mean, I just want to ask you, if I handed Spider-Man to you, what is your budget? $200 million or $300 million? Don't tell me it's $100 million. I understand your style."
As many years ago, James Cameron was like Ryan's suggestion to jointly adapt "Spider-Man", and this guy is a crazy Spider-Man fan.
In fact, over the years, Ryan has a good understanding of James Cameron. With his temperament, he will definitely be exhausted in completing "Titanic" and will throw away all his work at that time. He will play his dive or documentary.
"Okay, Ryan." James Cameron picked up his arm and said deliberately. "I think your acting skills have definitely declined. I will let you look for a hundred times when shooting."
"Wait, Jim." Ryan shrank his neck in cooperation, "You are taking personal revenge, this is not fair."
"If there is unfairness in this world, Ryan Jenkins's existence is the greatest unfairness." Kate Winslett was very thoughtful and made a statement in time.
"Oh, God, between you..."
Ryan deliberately changed his eyes and turned around between Cameron and Winslet.
"Ryan, you're slandering!"
Kate Winslet also discovered that the genius diagonally opposite and the little rich man with a net worth of over one billion should be a person who is easy to get along with and doesn't mind making some appropriate jokes.
After the plane landed, Ryan and his group did not go to the hotel, but took a car to circle the city and directly rushed to Rosario's exterior site.
The last time Ryan came, it was a barren beach under a small volcano, but now it has become a busy dock - although fake - with people coming and going, and the final finishing work is underway.
After getting off the bus, several spacious studios first caught their eye, followed by the artificial lake with a huge area, and the large ship that looked extremely real from this side.
It is paired with a dock from the early 20th century, making people feel a sense of time and space dislocation when they see it. If it weren't for the busy modern machinery around, they might have thought they would have returned to Southampton Port in 1912.
"God, Jim." Even Ryan couldn't help but exclaim after seeing such a real model ship, "You really did it! The Titanic is right in front of me!"
"So, Ryan." James Cameron led the way, and several people walked straight towards the big ship. "Every cent you put in, it was spent where it should be spent."
"Okay, Jim, can we not mention money today?" Ryan spread his hands helplessly, causing Winslet beside him to giggle.
Along the way, Ryan met many acquaintances, such as producer Jon Landau, Cameron's royal photography team, Stan Winston, who is leading the modeling team, and two Titanic research experts who serve as consultants.
In other words, here are the top players in various Hollywood industries. Maybe they are not the best, but they are definitely one of the best people.
“Can we go up and take a look?”
Arriving under the model ship, Ryan touched it back and forth a few times, making all steel, at least looking no different from the real ship.
"Of course." James Cameron led the way, "The real Titanic used three million rivets. Although the ship used 100,000, there would be no problem if it didn't go into the water."
In his previous life, Ryan had seen many behind-the-scenes footage about "Titanic" and knew that the model ship was actually not complete, but when the project was launched in this life, he proposed a shooting budget of up to $220 million. This gave James Cameron enough confidence to restore the ship almost completely.
Of course, the ship was still only half renovated, and most of the other side were bare original blanks.
As James Cameron entered the cabin, Ryan seemed to be in a luxury cruise ship, and all he saw and heard were typical British style from the early 20th century.
"Please change your shoes, here are the most luxurious first class cabin."
Before entering the top floor, James Cameron did not forget to remind Ryan and the others to change into brand new slippers, "Before shooting, we should try to keep the original appearance here."
Walking into the first class, Ryan looked at everything here, he and Nicole attended several cruise parties, and the decor of the luxury cruise was nothing more than that, and it was just for the purpose of shooting the model ship built!
"These carpets are high-end carpets specially customized from the British factory, exactly the same as they were back then." James Cameron pointed to the carpets in the passage and talked freely. "According to the design draft of that year, the same material, a total of more than 20,000 square feet were customized."
OK! I was stepping on piles of dollars! This was Ryan’s only feeling.
"Very good. Jim, I feel like I'm back in the early twentieth century." Ryan knew very well that if he wanted to create a classic, he had to pay attention to every detail.
"Please come in. Ryan, and Kate."
James Cameron pushed open the door of the banquet hall, and the thousands of square feet of the banquet hall was displayed in front of them, with the table lamps and tableware inside, which were extremely luxurious.
"I think we can hold a celebration party here when we seal the mirror." Kate Winslet said with some emotion.
"Believe me, when this movie was closed, you absolutely didn't feel like celebrating." Winslet was puzzled when he heard Ryan's words, "Why, Ryan?"
"Kate, you will only have one idea at that time, that is, kill James Cameron!" Ryan firmly believed that he would have this idea at that time.
James Cameron pointed Ryan with his index finger, but did not defend himself. After experiencing "Terminator 2" and "The True Lies", his reputation as a tyrant on the set has long been spread throughout Hollywood.
Ryan slowly walked past the dining tables with his hands in his pockets. All the shiny tableware were carved with the Baixing Company logo. He rewrites this point in the script's suggestion.
You should know that when filming the banquet scene in the previous life, James Cameron realized that the tableware should have been engraved with the mark of White Star Company, so the tableware, clothing, food, extras, etc. were all replayed, and the remake of this scene cost more than two million dollars.
"Are you satisfied, Ryan."
James Cameron asked with complacent questions as the three walked out of the banquet hall.
"Jim, I have to admit..." Ryan's words suddenly turned in Cameron's expectant eyes, "You are a genius who spends money!"
"You did a great job, even better than I thought!" Ryan paid for it himself, and it might not be better than Cameron if he had done it better. "Jim, let's join forces to create a miracle."
"Miracle? What kind of miracle?"
"What do you think is better than "Jurassic Park"?" Ryan said naturally at the box office.
"This is definitely a good idea!" James Cameron is also full of confidence. As a commercial film director, box office is naturally his first pursuit.
If the words just now were said from someone else's mouth, Kate Winslet would only treat them as a joke, or the kind that doesn't have any jokes, but who is the one who said these words?
Ryan Jenkins, the guarantee of Hollywood movie box office, was the first box office record in "Jurassic Park".
James Cameron, an absolutely master-level commercial film director, has both achieved good box office and reputation.
