Chapter 34 Filming

James Cameron has formulated a six to eight-month shooting plan for "Terminator 2". As the future savior in the movie, his shots are indispensable in almost every scene. Ryan can only follow the crew around California.

Among them are Santa Monica Commercial Plaza where John Connor met the two Terminators, and San Fernando's highway flood control drainage.

In addition, I have personally experienced the treatment of mental illness patients at the Mental Physiotherapy Center at Lakeview Cinema in Los Angeles.

Originally, Cameron did not have this paragraph in his original script, but at the strong request of Linda Hamilton, he and William Shell, Little, modified the script, and the tomboy did show a surprising side.

Yes, although Linda Hamilton actually looks not as thick as in the movie, she has also trained a lot of muscles. Ryan heard her say that in order to shoot this role well, she invited a former IDF lieutenant colonel to train her. During the thirteen-week training, she trained six days a week for three hours a day, not only losing 12 pounds of fat, but also making her look much stronger and stronger.

It’s really not easy to become a good actor! This is Ryan’s only feeling.

Of course, I encountered quite a lot of trouble during the filming process, but as a minor, Ryan is the key protection object of the crew, and most of the troubles happen to others.

For example, when shooting the chase scene of the flood control channel, there were several Arnold's very casual gun-spiraling movements, but during the shooting, there was a serious accident. When he was rotating the shotgun, his finger was hung on the trigger, and almost cut off the entire finger. Therefore, the indestructible T800 had to go to the hospital for maintenance.

Also, in this chase scene, the truck prepared by the crew was a little higher than the road bridge, making Cameron angry.

"Have you not conducted a field visit? Sorry? Sorry can make time flow back? Two hours, I will only give you two hours. If it cannot be solved, all the people in the prop group will get out!"

After Ryan heard his angry voice, he remembered that the script was different from the movies in his previous life. He turned his eyes and leaned over, "Jim, why can't he change the script? For example, Robert drove a car and smashed the bridge and cut off the part of the truck? This not only shows the cruel and ruthless side of the T1000, but also increases the impact of the camera."

"Good idea." Cameron slapped his palm hard, "Ryan, I should have asked you to write the script together!"

Working with you? Looking at the tyrant who went to the prop group, Ryan curled his lips unless I was crazy!

"Ryan, do you always have so many tricks?" Robert Patrick is completely opposite to his T1000, and is a very kind and laughing person in life.

"Hey, Mr. T1000, you won't have to do it now, are you? The T800 is under maintenance, you can't take advantage of others' danger." Ryan simply joked with him.

Speaking of which, it was a very lucky thing for Robert Patrick to join the crew. Cameron originally planned to find Billy Aidor to play the role, and the other party agreed, but the God of Destiny's big hand seemed to control the sky related to the boy. Just a few days before the start of the filming, the unlucky rock singer had a car accident. He was riding a T1000 and collided with a truck on a motorcycle. It was estimated that he would have to lie in bed for at least a few months.

There are many action scenes in the filming of the movie, and it is hard to survive. Before the filming started, the crew found an action coach for Ryan, but the other party only gave him two safety courses. In his words to Cameron, "Ryan is extremely flexible, like a monkey. The movements in the movie are not difficult for him at all. I think the only thing he needs to learn is how to protect himself during the filming."

"Jim, I've been working out for at least an hour a day since I was five. After returning to Los Angeles from London, Nicole and I have professional fitness coaches, so you don't have to worry at all."

Ryan only told the truth half. Although his flexible skills have a lot to do with long-term persistent training, his previous life experience was more important. For orphans on the other side of the ocean, if they are not flexible, they just wait to be bullied when they are hungry, jump up and down, steal, and fight on the streets, they are just trivial things.

Besides, he is not a kung fu movie, and he is good enough to deal with it.

Although James Cameron has pointed out his talent for burning money, he is not as crazy as he has since. He will never waste when he should save.

In order to save the cost of inviting extras, many characters were guest appearances by people from various departments in the crew, such as himself, who played John Connor's adoptive father, but the image was really terrible.

"Jim, any child, as long as you have an adoptive father like you, you will definitely become a rebellious boy." Ryan deliberately provoked the sting, "Look, Mr. Director, you have caused the entire crew to NG with you thirteen times, and you should pay for overtime pay out of your own pocket."

"Come on, Ryan, you're just not satisfied with me being your adoptive father." Cameron waved his hand and sat back in the director's chair.

When shooting the shots of the T1000 and T800 of Santa Moca Commercial Plaza, something even more amazing happened. A Japanese friend of Cameron made a special flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles without any compensation, just to make a guest appearance in the film.

He is the guy who was shot to death by T1000 in the corridor when John Connor first met T800.

After late December, when the location filming in California was about to be completed, a large number of journalists and paparazzi once again flooded around the crew.

James Cameron has a pretty good habit. His crew always starts quietly. The same is true for "Terminator 2". However, with the exposure of the investment amount, it has caused heated discussions in the media. However, after chasing and intercepting for a period of time and unable to find any exclusive news, the crew gradually became quiet.

Although two or three kittens popped out from time to time, the crew has been peaceful in the past two months and has not been harassed too much. Of course, this is also related to Anne Hurd's release of some shooting situations every once in a while.

There were too many reporters coming this time, and the disturbing chaos had seriously affected the crew's filming, which made James Cameron very angry. After scolding the crew's spokesperson, he quickly figured out the situation.

"Ryan! Where is Ryan?"

"It seems like I'm resting in a trailer." Someone answered.

"Go and call him out." Cameron gasped.

As the shooting deepened, Ryan's grasp of the role became more and more effective, and the shooting became much easier. He even threw the script of "Terminator 2" aside. Except for watching before shooting, he didn't read it much anymore. Now he is leaning on a high-back chair and drawing the setting manuscript of "The True Lies" with colored pencils.

"What? Jim is looking for me? I remember there was no shot of me in the morning." Seeing the assistant who was rushing over, Ryan had to put away the drawing and go to the shooting site.

Just as he left the trailer, he heard a messy sound, just like the vegetable market in the early morning. No, it should be that 100,000 large green-headed flies were flapping their wings at the same time.

He is already very familiar with this voice, except for reporters and paparazzi, who else will there be?

"What's going on? There are so many reporters." Ryan muttered and walked to the set.

"Ryan Jenkins, you're so embarrassed to ask me what's going on!" Seeing Cameron who was a little angry, the boy felt puzzled, "What happened? Jim, who dares to make you angry? Could it be Linda?"

"The reporters and paparazzi are all here to find you!"

"Look for me? Why do you want me?" Ryan scratched his head, saying that he had been exposed by the media for participating in "Terminator 2". Even if they wanted to hype, the popularity of the topic would have passed long ago. Now he came to interview himself.

"You ask me, I'll ask you."

In Cameron's opinion, this boy is indeed extremely smart. Except for the first few days, his performance in the filming later made people unable to find any faults, but he always makes people angry to death when he is angry.

OK! He was a little dissatisfied. Those reporters came to their sets to ask about the news about another movie. Everyone would be angry, right?

"Ryan, have you not read the newspaper recently?" The assistant assigned to him by the crew came over at this time.

"No, I follow the crew all day long, either shooting or writing or painting. Where do I get the time to read newspapers? Besides, I don't want to seek abuse from my own eyes. Those tabloids are almost writing me as a monster."

"Just today, the North American box office statistics for the four weeks after "Home Imperial" was released. Do you know how many?"

"Hey, hurry up and say, don't keep it in a silence, okay?" Ryan gradually understood.

“More than $150 million!”

"150 million, not a lot." Ryan scratched his head. After experiencing so many blockbusters in his previous life, he naturally would not think that this number is of great significance.

Everyone around him rolled his eyes and felt the urge to pull him out and beat him up. Finally, an associate director couldn't help but stand up and said, "Ryan, I think you know very well that this movie is only 18 million US dollars in investment. It's only been released for four weeks now. Many critics are optimistic about this movie and think it can be compared with "The Sixth Sense" at the box office."

"Little kid, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be the top two in the North American box office rankings this year." Cameron sighed. Although the other party is not in the same industry as him, he feels quite emotional that the Yangtze River will push the Yangtze River to the previous wave, if he understands Chinese.

This was originally the plan, okay? Ryan shrugged. The reason why he chose these two movies as his beginnings was because he was attracted by their powerful influence.
