Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 68 Publicity and Commentary

"Terminator 2" was like dropping a high-explosive bomb in the hot summer season, which caused a series of repercussions. From the next day, there were rare long queues at the gates of popular theaters across the United States. Queues, most movie theaters are almost sold out, and many people cannot buy tickets for the last two days and have to book tickets for a longer time in advance.

The last time this happened was when "The Sixth Sense" was released in 1990, and the momentum of "Terminator 2" has only increased since then, in supermarkets, restaurants, on the road, in parks, everywhere Everyone is talking about this movie, about the future savior, and about the showdown between T800 and T1000.

As the film was released across the board in North America, various comments have appeared one after another. With such a hot movie and such a crazy momentum, how could those film critics miss the opportunity to take a share of the pie.

"In the realm of action movies on the big screen, no one can compare to James Cameron, who not only stuns our senses with amazing action shots, but behind one big scene after another, he also has With a vision of coexistence of grandeur and beauty, and through his excellent directing talent, he has turned those bizarre ideas into reality and displayed them in front of the audience. These are most vividly shown in "Terminator 2", with 18-wheel truck-like muscles. The well-developed T800 has real and moving emotions, and although the appearance is just a cold and hard machine, it has a heart that belongs to human beings!"

--Hal Hinson, The Washington Post

Renowned film critic Roger Ebert gave the film three-and-a-half stars — out of four — in his Chicago Tribune column, praising Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ryan Jenkins, saying that Schwarzenegger has finally found the most suitable role and performance for him, Ryan Jenkins will be a rebellious but yet childlike and kind-hearted little boy interpretation vividly.

Although the movie was well received, and it was clearly a big commercial production, it was meaningless to discuss too many issues such as connotation, but those who opposed it for the sake of opposing it, or to show that they were maverick, attracted the attention of the people. Eyeballs are everywhere.

For example, a columnist in "Time" described the film as only a mountain of fantasy, leaving the audience only disappointed, the film has nothing to provoke thought, whether it is James Cameron, or Ryan Jenkins, both brought an extremely bad work!

There are even more film critics who want to take advantage of the popularity of "Terminator 2" and want to hype themselves. They criticize that except for the lightning action scenes and dazzling special effects, there is no need for anything else.

However, the film has aroused extensive discussion in the industry, and George Lucas, one of the four directors, wrote directly in the "Los Angeles Times": "When T1000 stepped out of the raging flames, not only did the ashes come back from the ashes. Just a machine killer, not just a movie character, this is a revolution. Regarding the revolution of movie technology, although there are not many special effects shots, what Terminator 2 shows is worth exploring and thinking about. , from now on, those pictures that can only exist in our imagination can be displayed on the big screen through special effects in the later stage!"

As Ryan's third film image, John Connor has to be compared with Cole and Kevin, just like Roger Ebert's evaluation of him, the voice of praise accounted for almost 100% Ninety, many film critics believe that, aside from the cute and funny Kevin, just relying on Cole and John Connor, Ryan is enough to occupy a place in Hollywood film history.

even,

There are many media outlets that put the title of Hollywood's first child star on Ryan's head.

"What? No. 1 child star of all time? Thanks for the compliments, but I don't think I deserve the honor, whether it's Shirley Temple or Jodie Foster, they're better than me, are they? ?" In an interview, Ryan firmly denied that he is not an idiot, and it doesn't matter what others say, if he also admits it carelessly, the title of arrogance, arrogance, and disrespect for seniors will be on his head again.

Of course, Ryan's excellent acting skills, no one can deny.

"Ryan Jenkins is showing his 'Sixth Sense' once again after his slapstick 'Home Alone' performance, and his 'Terminator 2' performance that brought Linda Hamilton and Arnold together Schwarzenegger is dwarfed. If it weren't for T800's self-termination, this film would have become his one-man show in terms of acting. In our opinion, commercial production cannot allow Ryan to fully play, and his next step should turn to literature and art Film, there is the battlefield where he will show his acting skills in the future!"

This is a review in The Hollywood Reporter that believes that Ryan should have more artistic pursuits after his baptism in commercial films.

"Literary film? Hehe..." Ryan only left a faint laugh when Jinsili asked.

This summer, Ryan is destined to spend his time flying around, with a $5 million salary and 1% of the North American box office share, not only for filming, but also for the promotion of the entire crew.

The crew split up, and over the next month, they started traveling around North American cities, and unfortunately, he became a big light bulb because he was joined by James Cameron and Linda Hamilton.

Because it would be extremely inconvenient to take a passenger plane, the film company simply leased two commercial planes, just watching the unattended man and woman sitting opposite them, and after loosening the seat belt, Ryan couldn't help protesting.

"Damn it! Linda, and Jim, it's on the plane, so there's only so much space, you always have to be concerned about other people's feelings, right? Well, they're adults, don't care, but don't forget, you're sitting across from you It's a minor!" Ryan said dissatisfiedly.

"Are you a minor? Ryan, I have never treated you as a child, so your protest is invalid." Linda still maintained her affectionate posture with Cameron.

Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly. Before he could continue to protest, Cameron spoke again, "Hey, Ryan, tell us, do you have a girlfriend? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

"I'm only eleven now!" Ryan's eyes widened.

"I was a big boy at eleven, and I had my first girlfriend when I was ten," Cameron said.

"Wow, this is big news." Ryan smiled brightly, "I believe the tabloids will pay a good price!"

There is nothing surprising about this kind of rush-style propaganda. It is nothing more than interviewing reporters, appearing on several shows, or breaking news at press conferences to attract the attention of the public.

Among the teenagers, Ryan has accumulated a huge popularity. No matter where he goes, there are a large number of crazy underage fans around, which further drives the box office of "Terminator 2" to a certain extent. After all, what he is now The influence he possessed was beyond the reach of Edward Furlong in his previous life.

"Ryan~Ryan~"

Hundreds of teenagers blocked the entrance of a hotel in Boston, screaming louder and louder, blocking the car that had just arrived from the airport outside the hotel.

Ryan was helpless, so he could only lower the window and waved to the outside frequently, which resulted in even more frantic screams.

"Ryan~Signature~Ryan~Signature!"

I don't know who started it, the fans' shouts became more and more uniform, and finally turned into a pace.

Normally speaking, this situation should be welcomed by the crew, but Mario Casa and James Cameron both turned black when they saw what the fans were holding in their hands.

Except for a few people holding the posters of "Terminator 2", most people are holding up Ryan's novels, singles, previous movie posters, etc. The entire crew was crushed.

With the assistance of the hotel security, the car finally drove to the door of the hotel. Ryan followed behind George and just got out of the car. The heat waves and screams came from the pavement, which made one's scalp tingle.

He has always known that he is very popular among teenagers in the United States, but he never thought that his fans would be so crazy and enthusiastic. Now this situation does not allow him to stay here. After initialing a few names, hurry up. Walking into the lobby of the hotel, if you are surrounded by people, God knows when you can get out.

Heck! Ryan cursed in his heart, and in less than half a minute, his clothes and hair were messed up like a bird's nest, and a few buttons on the front were missing. Did he meet a female pervert?

"Ryan, if your fans don't go to theaters to watch Terminator 2, we're going to throw you in Boston!" Mario Casa joked after entering the elevator.

To be honest, the film contract he opened to the other party made him very painful, but after a series of events such as the release of "Home Alone" and the holding of the Oscars, he gradually discovered that this man's influence was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help sighing to James. · Cameron insisted that the decision to sign him was absolutely correct.

You must know that the main consumer groups in the film market will always be teenagers. With Ryan's growing appeal among this group of people, he will definitely be able to attract a considerable part of the audience. It would be better if he created some more topics at this time. Should I encourage him to challenge Tom Cruise?

Of course, he can only think about it. With the intelligence and maturity of the other party, I am afraid that he can easily see through his tricks. It is better to think less about this kind of thing than the loss.

In addition to participating in a movie event in a large theater chain, the crew also accepted a joint interview with local media, which was considered to be a campaign for "Terminator 2" in the Greater Boston area.

Originally, Ryan also wanted to visit the famous city of Cambridge, but when he saw the overwhelming number of crazy fans at the event, he simply died.
