Cameron ate Japanese barbecue, which was very different from American barbecue, and felt much better. Ronald asked him how the technical preparations for his new film "The Abyss" were going. Cameron took out the script and storyboard he carried with him.

Ronald looks.

Ronald took it and took a look. It was a large water tank with a map of the location of the underwater camera underneath. He couldn't help but look up at Cameron.

"The traditional method of shooting underwater scenes is to put very thick smoke on the scene to simulate the underwater scene. After I did shooting experiments in the studio, I felt that the actors' movements in the air and in the water could not be exactly the same. There is no

Because of my persuasion, I decided to build a water tank to actually shoot some scenes." Cameron pointed to the large water tank in the picture.

"I have found a suitable place for this water tank. It is 55 feet high and 240 feet in diameter. The main structure is well-made and the cost is not high." Cameron was very interested and pointed at the large water tank to Ronald.

Look at the size.

"This kind of large water tank that accommodates many actors and the set of a sunken nuclear submarine (the plot is that the divers on the drilling platform rescue the nuclear submarine after it sank) is not easy to find."

"Where did you go to find it?" Ronald turned a page, which was a photo of the scene. He saw a huge pit on the ground, like a giant eating bowl. The bottom of the bowl was paved with reinforced concrete, which looked very solid.

It looks like it will not leak even after draining the water.”

"What is this place? Where did you find it?" Ronald wondered how there could be such a ready-made place.

"This is where Gale asked me to report, in South Carolina, at the Cherokee Nuclear Power Plant, ten miles outside of Gaffney."

"Nuclear power plant?" Ronald glanced at Cameron. How dare you go make a movie? Aren't you afraid of radiation?

"Hey, everyone reacted the same way when they heard about this location." Cameron smiled, "Because of the opposition from environmentalists, they are worried that Cherokee will become America's Chernobyl. So in the continuous

Due to protests, Duke decided to abandon the construction plan. This is a nuclear power plant that has not yet been built."

What Ronald saw was the containment vessel of the power plant, which can hold 7.5 million gallons of water and can accommodate any kind of scenery. Fox originally planned to rent the pit where the turbines were installed for filming, but Cameron came to the scene unexpectedly.

After watching it, I decided that I wanted the big pit.

Fox's senior executives were impressed by Cameron's previous science fiction movies, so they agreed to his idea without much thought.

"Isn't Cherokee the name of Jeep? It sounds similar to Chernobyl." Ronald was also looking forward to what Cameron could take pictures of in this big puddle.

"That's the name of a Native American tribe, Cherokee, Apache. Haven't you studied it in high school? Why don't you have as much high school education in America as Canada does?"

"Hahaha..." Seeing that Cameron could joke now, Ronald let go of his worries a lot.

However, after he said goodbye to Cameron, he still felt that the divorce of his old friend was different from the last time.

Gale Heard was his partner on the road to his dream of making movies. Unlike his previous ex-wife, who was a restaurant waiter, Gale and Cameron were business partners. She now also owns Cameron's debut film "The End"

author's copyright.

In addition to the combination of interests, Gale and Cameron also have a deep relationship. Ronald read the script. The male protagonist is a captain on the drilling platform, and his wife is also a diving expert. At the beginning of the movie, the two

Going through a divorce.

In the end, the male protagonist died in the deep sea in order to rescue everyone. The last message sent to the deep submersible was to say hello to his wife. But in the end, Cameron introduced the concept of more advanced creatures, and they saved the suffocating male protagonist.

The movie ends with him and his wife kissing.

This is obviously a love letter to Gale, and the happy ending at the end is Cameron's gesture of goodwill to Gale.

But Gale Hurd still didn't accept it and had a business-like attitude towards Cameron. Ronald didn't know what to do for the two friends. The problems between husband and wife were not clear to outsiders. In addition,

Once again, there are too many temptations in Hollywood, so the two of them can only see what they think.

…

There were many award-winning celebration parties in Hollywood, but Ronald didn't win the Oscar and couldn't muster the energy to attend. He hid in Palm Springs and took a hot spring break. After the new mayor, Cher's ex-husband Sonny Bono, sorted it out,

Some of the messy yoga clubs have been driven away, and the business atmosphere and service standards are much better than when we came last year.

Mayor Bono is preparing to host the first Palm Springs International Film Festival next year, and Ronald and he have booked Chinese films to participate in the festival.

However, the quiet days of rest did not last long, as the kung fu movie of my daydream, "Fighting World", was about to be released.

"Isn't it a little faster to release the video tape immediately after four weeks of release time? Our film was still being shown in theaters at that time, will it affect the box office?" The actor Jean-Claude Van Damme also participated in the distribution and marketing meeting. He said:

I am interested in all aspects of film production and distribution and am learning any relevant knowledge.

"I'm sorry, pirated video tapes can be released in Hong Kong within two weeks." Director Corey Yeun, based on the experience in Hong Kong, feels that this time seems to be a bit late.

"America is very strict about piracy. There is also new technology for tracking stolen movies in movie theaters. You can add codes to certain parts of the film, so it is easy to trace which theater it was stolen from." Bai Ri

Our distribution director, Michelle Cannold, gave two newcomers to Hollywood an update on the latest anti-piracy developments.

"Four weeks is the standard time for B-level movies in the industry. Starting from 'Flashdance' that year, we found that many viewers who watched the video tape also went to the cinema to watch it again on the big screen. If we are concerned about the quality of the movie

If you are confident, this approach can actually increase the box office."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Michelle Cannold’s meaning is very simple. If the quality of the movie is not good, it will be forced to be released by the theater after four weeks. In short, it is the same time to exit the video tape.

Earned.

"You still have a lot to learn in Hollywood..." Ronald smiled at Jean-Claude Van Damme, who was very eager to learn.

After sending away several of the main creators, Ronald closed the door and communicated privately with Michelle Cannold, "I think you are not optimistic about the box office. The surrounding area is actually not too long for this special type of film. This kind of

Genre films have special fans, so maybe it would be good to show them for a long time..."

They were all daydreaming, so Ronald spoke directly when communicating.

"But this type of film will not do well at the box office in theaters. We and the video distribution channels, especially rental chains like Blockbuster..."

Ronald understood what Cannold meant. As a manufacturer of video tapes, when supplying products to channels, it is best to have new films released continuously. The video tape of Dirty Dancing has been selling like hotcakes for several months, and

It's time to release some new movies.

"Is Brooke back? Let her attend the movie's promotion event?" Ronald glanced at the promotion plan for Boxing World. In addition to kung fu movie lovers, Brooke Shields also has some fans, who may

Because her appearance was specifically designed to see what the former idol would look like after graduating from college.

"She seems to be having a hard time in Japan. I'll invite her over. Can you talk to her yourself?" Michelle Cannold seemed to have something to say in front of Ronald.

"What's wrong?" Ronald frowned, "Then you contact her and make an appointment for us to chat."

…

"Brooke, what's wrong with you? You're not in good spirits? Are you too tired in Japan?" Ronald soon saw Brooke Shields, and her appearance this time surprised Ronald. She was very decadent and seemed to be suffering from pain.

What a mental shock.

"I'm done, Ronald, and I'm done in Japan. Now I can only make some B-level movies like this..." Brooke seemed to have finally found a friend to talk to, and put herself in Japan.

Everything happened to Yue.

When she was filming Boxing World in Hong Kong, she was invited to perform in several commercials on TVB, and the response was very good. This aroused the interest of Japanese manufacturers, who paid her a high price to go to Japan to promote their products.

In Japan, she attended many marketing activities of manufacturers and filmed several advertisements as required. However, she soon discovered that the manufacturer that invited her was not the first-line brand in her mind, but a middle-class brand.

Health care products whose main customers are men and the elderly.

Although she made some money and got over the recent financial difficulties, after Bo Ji discovered the truth about this brand, she finally discovered that it was not only outdated domestically, but also internationally. The first-tier brands before were vying to invite them.

The grand occasion of her advertising shoots is inevitably gone.

"What product is it?" Ronald took the health product endorsed by Brooke. The Japanese advertisement was incomprehensible. There were several Chinese characters on it, "Acidic Water".

"I brought a box of video tapes, just for you to watch..." Brooke took out a box of video tapes and handed them to Ronald.

After putting it on the TV, the screen showed Brooke Shields taking a glass of water from a machine and drinking it in one gulp, feeling very comfortable.

"So what is acid?" Ronald could tell from the limited Chinese characters that this was a machine that made so-called "acid" water. Drinking it could make you energetic.

"It's oxygen..." Bo Ji looked at herself on the TV. She was still very beautiful. If she could get a better brand endorsement, she could continue to maintain her image. If she couldn't get it, she would get it later.

You can only live with these ridiculous health care products.

"Oxygen? Isn't there just hydrogen and oxygen in the water?" Ronald glanced at Brooke. He originally thought that she was still somewhat popular in Japan, but now it seems that she is just a second-rate or third-rate product, trying to take advantage of her last remaining value.

.

"When I went to Japan in 1982, I always advertised the best products..." Behind the video there are advertisements shot by Bo Ji when she was very young. She was tall and thin at that time, looking left and right.

She touched her lips and blew a kiss. The funniest thing was that the words "Saint Maiden" were written in Japanese and Chinese characters on Brooke's head.

At that time, Brooke was really red and beautiful... Just when Ronald thought it was a lipstick advertisement, Brooke took out a tissue and wiped off the lipstick. It turned out to be an advertisement for tissue! Japanese thinking

It's really different.

"What do you want me to do?" Ronald looked at Brooke. She had even prepared the video tape, knowing that she would definitely want to help him.

"I need an advertisement, preferably from an internationally renowned brand. Just one is enough. In the modeling industry, we will modify the opportunities given to you based on the evaluations others give you."

"The red is redder, the black is darker..." Ronald thought for a while. It was harder for models to judge their popularity among the audience than for actors, so if a brand broke the situation, her life would be easier.

"I'll see what I can do..." Ronald called Sony's brand department in America and asked them if they were interested in finding Brooke to endorse in advertising.

"They have a new portable TV, are you interested? It's not a hot-selling product, it's a test advertisement for a new product..."

With her eyes wide open and full of expectation, Bo Ji covered her chest with her hands to show that she was not picky.

"Okay, I'll let them contact your mother." Because Ronald gave Norio Ohga an idea, his daydream also received an active contact from the Sony America branch, asking Ronald's company to

Shooting some commercials for Sony.

At this stage, we can only receive some marketing orders for new products, not the big ones.

"Oh, thank you, Ronnie." Brooke came up and hugged Ronald excitedly.
