Even if Knight-Shamma was the director of "The Sixth Sense" in his previous life, it is impossible for Ryan to completely re-appoint him and give him the final editing rights of the film.

In his previous life, he directed "The Sixth Sense" several years later, and his current shooting experience is definitely not as good as in his previous life. Moreover, with his status and influence in his previous life, it is almost impossible to get the final editing rights of the film.

Therefore, Ryan chose to firmly hold the editing rights in his hands, otherwise no one can be sure whether Knight-Shamma will bring a disaster to the film. Things like this are not uncommon in Hollywood.

Of course, there is no shortage of films destroyed by investors and producers in Hollywood.

How should I put it, before a film is released, no one can guarantee whether it will be successful, and any negligence may ruin a film.

After signing the contract, Ryan invited Nat Sharma to the party. Everyone played wildly all day until late at night. Many people, including Ryan, got drunk.

Alone, Charlize Theron, hardly a drink or a bite of a barbecue, needed to keep in shape.

Early the next morning, everyone came to the studio. Ryan first exchanged opinions with Moritz Berman, and then asked Jonathan Mostow to bring a few camera assistants to adjust the camera position again, before doing test shots. last preparation.

Before each film is shot, Ryan is used to trial shooting, which will undoubtedly reduce the problems encountered during the official shooting.

After exchanging views with Moritz-Berman, Ryan suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure approaching.

She has long blond hair and is about 1.62 meters tall, not too tall. She is wearing a long skirt and a pair of small high heels on her feet, making her look youthful and beautiful.

She seemed a little strange to the studio, looking around while walking, not a member of the crew.

"Heidi!"

Ryan's memory is pretty good, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered who she was, the first employee of the Star Brokerage Company, who seemed to be a receptionist at the time.

"Hi, I'll see you soon, Ryan." Heidi waved to Ryan from a long distance away, not at all unfamiliar, "How about it, I don't think so!"

Ryan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "It seems that you should study in England now, instead of returning to Los Angeles suddenly."

"Please, I also have a vacation." Heidi looked around and said, "Where is Helen!"

"Didn't you say that she is here!"

"Terminator 3" is considered the most important project of the star agency company right now, so Helen-Solomon spends most of his time in the studio.

"It should be over the dressing room." Ryan pointed in the direction of the dressing room, "She has some things to deal with."

Ryan didn't bother to care about the small disputes between the extras, it was nothing more than some minor problems.

"Do you need me to take you there?" He made a suggestion.

"Forget it." Heidi shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't dare to ask a big director to send me there."

"Okay, up to you," Ryan beckoned a crew member to come over, and took Heidi to Helen's place.

As soon as Heidi left, Edward Norton walked over, looked at Heidi's back, and asked, "Is she your sister?"

Many people on the crew know that Ryan has a younger sister who is studying at the University of Southern California, and has also formed a fan base.

In the next few days, the crew will hold a fan group meeting event, including Edward Norton. The main actors of the crew have prepared some small gifts for the fans who come.

For example, signed photos, shirts, greeting cards, etc., are not worth much, and have some commemorative value.

"No." Ryan glanced at him and said, "Her name is Heidi. She was the first employee of Starry Sky Brokerage Company and a friend of Helen's."

"I thought she was your sister." Edward Norton looked away, and said, "Arnold just lost a bet, and he treated the crew to lunch today. What would you like to eat?"

"Mexican food, it's better to be spicy." Ryan will not be polite to Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Even, prepare to have a big meal.

"No problem." Edward Norton wrote it down, turned and walked towards Moritz Berman.

As a leading actor, inviting crew members to dinner is a very common thing in Hollywood crews. Edward Norton took the initiative to ask the crew what they like to eat.

To put it bluntly, both of them are smart people who understand the benefits of being in harmony with the crew.

Soon, the crew began trial shooting. In the first scene, Ryan chose an action scene, mainly focusing on Charlize-Theron,

This shooting is different from the previous ones. In addition to the tailor-made fighting moves for Charlize-Theron, in the first shot, she will try the feeling of hanging a wire.

During training, Charlize Theron had already tried the feeling of hanging a steel wire. The longest time, she hung in mid-air for half a day, leaving several deep marks on her white and jade-like skin. It didn't go away for days.

This can be regarded as one of the selling points of the whole film. Ryan will not shoot completely according to the previous life "Terminator 3". He has made many changes, such as removing those humorous words and some dispensable shots. Highlight special effects and fighting.

In this way, the plot will inevitably become a bit pale.

However, for a commercial popcorn movie, the plot is a bit pale, which is not a problem.

After all, commercial movies don't need any complicated plots at all, that would only be counterproductive.

"Charlie, remember to pay attention to safety. If it's not possible, you can use it as a stand-in. Don't be brave." Ryan stood behind the monitor, looked at Charlize Theron, who was covered with steel wires, and specially instructed.

When shooting an action movie, I am not afraid that the actors will not be able to bear the hardships. The most fearful thing is that the actors will try to be brave, not to mention hurting themselves, and delay the filming progress of the crew.

In the previous life, many movie fans were quite disgusted with the use of doubles by actors.

As everyone knows, even if the actors themselves are not afraid of getting hurt, the crew and investors are also afraid. If someone is injured and the crew's filming progress is delayed, the daily loss of funds is enough to make people dumbfounded.

"Don't worry, I have no problem." Charlize-Theron said that there was no problem, and she was even slightly excited.

"Terminator 3" is not "The Truman Show", the two are fundamentally different.

In "The Truman Show", she is only a supporting role. Nicolas Cage is the core and the biggest selling point of the film. In "Terminator 3", the female villain robot she plays is also a core character and selling point.

Don't underestimate the villain. In "Terminator 1", Arnold Schwarzenegger played a villain, starring Michael Bean.

But after the film was released, Arnold Schwarzenegger's popularity skyrocketed, and the attention of the media and fans surpassed that of the film's lead actor, Michael Bean.

As a result, "Terminator 2" with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the protagonist was derived, with a global box office of more than 500 million US dollars, making him a well-known Hollywood action superstar in one fell swoop.

"Ryan." Moritz-Berman on the side reminded in a low voice, "When shooting, pay attention to the **** scenes. It is best to control it a little bit, otherwise the rating of the film may encounter trouble in the future."

"I understand what you mean." Ryan nodded.

"Terminator 3" has too much gore and violence, and it is bound to run into trouble, such as NC-17.

Once rated NC-17, Ryan and 20th Century Fox will definitely vomit blood.

Fortunately, Twentieth Century Fox is a member of the committee, so don't worry too much.

Not to mention that "Terminator 3" is only an action sci-fi film, even if it is the "Saw" series, it is at most a B-level, and it has not become NC-17.

This is why Ryan has been cooperating with Hollywood giants such as 20th Century Fox and Paramount, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles.

The next test shoot was very boring, and there was no exciting scene as expected. Charlize-Theron was hanging on the wire, making several movements in a row, going up and down.

The only thing that caught the eye was the tight-fitting leather jacket, which fully set off Charlize Theron's figure, and her pair of slender thighs were very eye-catching.

The fighting scenes are the biggest selling point of "Terminator 3". It's just that it's more troublesome to shoot. Every action has to be shot repeatedly. It's impossible to pass it once.

Of course, the final shooting effect will definitely surprise people.

There was not much time to shoot, Ryan called a stop, let the crew rest, Charlize - Theron can go and change into a fresh outfit.

Next, all crew members are going to have a big meal paid for by Arnold-Schwarzenegger.

Today is just a test shoot, so I don't need to shoot all day.

Ryan looked at the shot just now~www.mtlnovel.com~ and felt that Charlize-Theron's performance was not bad, sexy, cold, charming, plus sharp movements, which fully met his requirements.

He glanced sideways at Jonathan Mostow and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Charlie, she's extremely charming." Jonathan Mostow's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "This kind of fighting action has completely subverted the way Hollywood used to shoot action movies."

"Ryan, you will perform another miracle."

At this time, Gail-Anne-Hurd hurried in, her tone seemed a little hasty, "A person came outside the studio, claiming to be from the official Pentagon, and believed that some of the content in our script violated the military's confidentiality guidelines."

Ryan frowned, military confidentiality guidelines? Just kidding, the plot of "Terminator 3" has nothing to do with the military at all, "Gail, call 20th Century Fox and ask what's going on."

"Also, tell Arnold Schwarzenegger and let him inquire about it."
