Rebirth In Hollywood

The crew poured in thousands of extras at once, which inevitably brought management problems. Despite the strict gag orders issued by Ryan and Cameron, some news still spread to the outside world, especially those who were originally News that only circulated within the crew.

For example, the accident happened during the shooting, the large area of ​​extras was withdrawn, the staff complained of all kinds, James Camer's bad temper, Ryan Jenkins did not understand the moderation of the big investment and so on.

Like a balloon that was inflated to the extreme and punctured by a needle, countless negative news spread from the crew. When Ryan noticed all this, many of them had already appeared in the newspapers.

Most of the media's statements are still polite. After all, Ryan has past achievements as a guarantee. Even if the crew occasionally has an accident, who can guarantee that he will not continue to succeed.

"It is said that the cost of shooting Titanic has increased to 250 million US dollars, which will bring a very bad atmosphere. If the film is successful, it will give Hollywood a hint that only big investment and big production can guarantee profits. , so that in the event of an accident, many film companies will have to go bankrupt." Some older generation filmmakers, probably unaccustomed to this mode of film production, made veiled criticisms.

The mainstream media focused on the movie's huge investment, as well as the accident that happened during the shooting process, and even Kate Winslet's nearly drowning incident was dug up by them.

In general, the mainstream media coverage is fair, even if there is occasional criticism, it is enough.

But the tabloids controlled by some people have launched a crazy negative hype about "Titanic", represented by the "New Englander", a newspaper with a large circulation, even on the front page headlines Created a column called 'Watching the Titanic', detailing negative news.

"So far, Titanic has been prepped from the start. The filming has taken more than two and a half years, and it is far from being completed. We got confirmation from the insiders of the crew, just a few days ago. Ryan Jenkins was caught by I had no choice but to invest another 30 million US dollars to push the production budget to a height of 250 million US dollars. Don't think that he is full of confidence in James Cameron. The $220 million invested was all gone."

"A person familiar with the matter said. There's a rhetoric going on inside the crew - Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron are the biggest idiots Hollywood has ever seen - and they're spending their money where it shouldn't, in first class. The carpets cost millions of dollars, and the china, furniture, etc. are big money-sucking households. Even the food made for a filming party costs nearly two hundred thousand dollars. In our opinion, they are not only stupid, but also crazy! "

"Although Ryan Jenkins is worth billions, most of them are stocks and fixed assets, so there is only one end to such a large investment.

In the near future, Hollywood will usher in another bankrupt film company - Jenkins Films! "

"It's been three months since the production started. Let's see what happened during this period. A stuntman was seriously injured and was admitted to the hospital. Three stuntmen were injured and quit, and 87 actors could not stand the bad shooting. Circumstances and James Cameron's bad temper, took the initiative to resign, the heroine Miss Kate Winslet nearly drowned, and then contracted pneumonia. Rosario is not a set at all, but a huge disaster scene!"

"The most surprising thing is that a member of James Cameron's filming team, because he couldn't stand his irritable reprimand, actually poisoned the food of the film crew, although Ryan Jenkins' bodyguard found out and stopped him in time. but will a crew with intensified internal conflicts be successful?"

"The Titanic is destined to freeze, it will sink like that giant cruise ship..."

"The New Englander" led to a lot of tabloids, they have opened up a follow-up report column, the critic named Gary? Graham also published articles in his column.

"Future Water World invested $200 million and made $80 million at the box office, Cutthroat Island invested $100 million and made $9.8 million at the box office, and Titanic invested $250 million at the box office?"

When Ryan saw it, he just sneered, "Why didn't he list "Days of the Night"? Just because it's sweeping the summer season?"

The New Englander is like a dog skin plaster, sticking to the crew. The column they set up will report the so-called inside information every day, and list the accidents that happened during the shooting. Even if someone sprained their foot, they It will also be observed under the microscope, and finally the conclusion of the fracture is drawn.

Although the security measures on the set were the strictest, no one could prevent accidents, let alone filming a shipwreck.

Thousands of actors gathered on the set. Even if someone disclosed the news to reporters, it would be impossible to investigate in a short period of time. Ryan was okay to say that he had always maintained a fairly stable state of mind. In addition, Nicole came to visit the class again. Emotions are also vented out.

James Cameron is under enormous pressure. Although he will not take the initiative to read the newspaper, some comments will inevitably reach his ears.

"Find out who the person who leaked the secret to the paparazzi and reporters is, I will kill him myself." His roar sounded in the temporary office.

"Jim..."

Ryan sat on the sofa chair and was interrupted just as he spoke, "Let George find that man, Ryan!"

"Come on, Jim." Ryan asked with a smile, drinking coffee comfortably, "Jim, do you know Tina Brown?"

"Of course, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair." Cameron nodded.

"I really appreciate what she said." Ryan knocked on the coffee table in front of him. "What's worse than being talked about is that no one is talking about it! From another point of view, they are promoting "Titanic" ."

"These are all negative news." Although Cameron is not very good at dealing with the media, he is not an idiot. "You mean..."

"That's right." Ryan nodded. "There are also media who will support us. I have already asked people for public relations. I will take this opportunity to let most people remember "Titanic"!"

Just when someone was injured yesterday, someone was seriously ill today, someone drowned tomorrow, and other negative news, the spokesperson of the "Titanic" crew suddenly announced that Ryan Jenkins and James Cameron would meet in the near future. A joint press conference was held on the set in Rosario.

In an instant, the focus of the American entertainment media shifted from China to Mexico. Hundreds of media outlets sent their elite forces to the city that was not well known in Mexico.

On the day of the press conference, hundreds of reporters were crammed into the makeshift conference room on the set, and five high-power air conditioners were running at the same time, still unable to stop the heat wave.

"Some people say that Jim and I are the biggest idiots in Hollywood." Ryan pointed to Cameron sitting next to him, "I want to ask the person who wrote this article, who has seen two people who never fail in movies What an idiot!"

With the tone, Ryan knocked on the table hard.

The reporters were a little stunned. Although they had heard how many times, the Ryan Jenkins when he grew up was no longer the Ryan he was when he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would come up with such sharp language.

"I know that some people are waiting to see the jokes between me and Jim. During this time, the crew has been bombarded by certain media, and the people who wrote these things have not read the script, have not seen the clips we filmed, and never Never been on set, insider? Who's insider? You? Me? Or him?"

"There are also actors injured, which film will not have accidents when shooting, not to mention that we are shooting a huge shipwreck! 87 extras were launched into the crew, do you know how many extras were used in this film? More than 2,000 people Will some extras drop out and affect us?"

"Then Miss Kate Winslet's injury and poisoning are always true, right?" A reporter from the front row finally caught Ryan's gap and asked a question.

"No comment!" Ryan simply closed his mouth, and Cameron opened his mouth tacitly, "Some people say that this movie will fail, and I have no more movies to make, so I can only leave Hollywood in despair. …”

An unexpected thing happened, Cameron suddenly took out a blade from his pocket, and there was a striking line of letters written with black oil paint on it.

"If the movie sucks, use it!" he said, pointing to the blade.

"Wow~" The reporter below broke out immediately, this is big news.

With just one move, James Cameron stole Ryan's limelight, with all the cameras snapping at him and the blade.

"Jim..."

When he walked out of the conference room, Ryan shook his head and didn't know what to say, even though he knew that James Cameron had indeed encouraged and forced himself with the blade in his previous life.

"I just said use it, but didn't say what it was used for." Cameron showed a sly smile.

"Trust me, Jim, no matter what you do with it, you have no chance."

This press conference attracted the attention of many people, especially James Cameron's move, which was better than any hype and attracted a lot of attention.

Then, the media led by Vanity Fair and Los Angeles Times began to publish a large number of the latest news about the film preparation process and the crew. These are almost all positive news, forming a confrontation with those newspapers that kept publishing negative news. , thoroughly heated up the topic of "Titanic".

At the same time, Ryan made the website produced by Yahoo also begin to work, constantly revealing the specific situation of the shipwreck that year, focusing on the glorious side of human nature. After all, it is a recognized fact that most of the survivors of the Titanic were women and children.

With a multi-pronged approach, quite a few members of the public know that there will be a super-large production called "Titanic" with an investment of US$250 million next year. ()
