Chapter 208 Poisoning

In order to fit the plot conceived by Ryan and enhance the realism of the film, as early as last year, James Cameron invited several sailors, scientists, photographers and historians from the United States, Russia and Canada to organize twelve dives to watch the large ship sunk under the sea close up.

During this period, the crew rented the world's largest deep-sea survey ship - Russia's Keldish Academy - and relied on the help of two submarines on the ship to capture the wreckage of the Titanic.

The advance publicity of the movie has been launched long ago. Ryan commissioned Yahoo to produce several websites about diving and the Titanic shipwreck, using the huge disaster itself as one of the main promotional methods.

After mid-May, the actors were in place one after another, and the news that the crew was about to start filming was also circulated back to North America. A large number of reporters and paparazzi flocked in, and Rosario's mudflat immediately became the focus of entertainment media.

Ryan and several other film companies jointly invested $220 million to create an epic masterpiece about the Titanic shipwreck. The news has long been spread, and the huge model ship towering in the beach tank is even more powerful evidence that it cannot be blocked.

Just like all successful people, Ryan and Cameron have their own auras, and many media believe that they will continue to succeed in the previous two collaborations.

Similarly, many media have expressed doubts. After all, the $220 million shooting budget has once again set James Cameron a record in Hollywood, and some people with bad intentions have been waiting to see Ryan's jokes.

"It would be more meaningful to donate it to a charity organization than to spend a huge amount of 220 million yuan to take a saint film." This is what Gary Graham said in his column.

This orthodox descendant of the self-proclaimed Mayflower immigrant has always been a pioneer in opposing Ryan Jenkins.

No matter how the media reports, this video cannot stop. To this day, the crew has spent a huge amount of US$150 million in preliminary preparations. Even if the other three parties withdraw their investment, Ryan will support this project alone.

After the main actor arrived, the full-time etiquette coach Ryan hired from England also came to Rosario, a strict coach who had taught him at that time, and will teach the actors the etiquette of the upper class in 1912 for some time.

Ryan, Jon Landau and James Cameron formed the core part of the crew, with James Cameron as the main one. Ryan was responsible for checking the gaps and filling in the gaps, and put forward some personal opinions in a timely manner, striving to make the best of every detail.

"There has never been a perfect movie in this world. We just make "Titanic" as close to perfect as possible!" Ryan once said this to the other two.

In order to devote himself to the filming of this movie, Ryan even temporarily threw away the script that he would never stop every day. This movie in his previous life was great enough. Then, if he was transferred to his hands in this life, he would naturally become even greater.

After nearly two and a half years of preliminary preparations, the crew finally officially announced the start of filming in late May. The first thing to film was the scene of the elderly Ruth. Gloria Stewart is over 80 years old and cannot stay in Mexico for a long time.

The crew once again leased the Keldish Academy expedition ship from Russia, and dozens of crew members, including Ryan, boarded the world's most advanced ocean-going expedition ship.

There is no scene of Ryan here. Most of the time he stands behind James Cameron, watching how the tyrants mobilize the entire team on the set, and listening to the angry roars that sounded at that time.

Ryan doesn't remember seeing it from where he saw it. With personal success, he must have a growing temper. Now James Cameron has more than twice as tough as when filming "Terminator 2". He is usually a kind person, but when he sits in the director's chair, he will immediately complete a transformation.

He is too irritable! This is Ryan's personal summary.

"Cut!" As soon as he shouted, Cameron stopped.

He turned around in the cabin and was furious, "Leo, what have you done? What I want is an orange filter, what is it now? How many times have you made a mistake today? Our time and money are wasted on you..."

James Cameron's words were like shells, attacking a member of the filming team. In the empty front cabin of the investigation ship, only his voice was coming back to stir.

As Cameron said, this is not the first time that the assistant photographer has made a mistake. It has dragged the entire crew because of one person's mistake, so the director naturally cannot tolerate such things.

"Let's just be here today!"

After looking at the time, James Cameron announced that the shooting was temporarily over.

"How is it going to happen?" Ryan walked near the camera. Russell Carpenter is a photographer in Hollywood. How could his subordinates make low-level mistakes one after another?

"Leo joined our team only last month." Russell Carpenter was a little embarrassed. "In the past few jobs, he showed excellent professional qualities. Who knows..."

He had no choice but to spread his hands.

It turned out to be a newcomer! Ryan patted his shoulder and was about to go over and persuade James Cameron. This guy was still losing his temper and seemed not to have dinner.

"Ryan, Nicole's phone." George walked over with the satellite phone.

"That's it, James." Ryan took the phone and walked out of the cabin and walked along the side of the ship to the stern.

"This is really good news, Nicole, I thought you were going to be based in Scotland."

"Far Cry of the Island" has finally been closed, which has been extended for a long time than the scheduled shooting time.

"Dear, this is not what you should say now." Nicole's voice was obviously exhausted, "Where are you, why is the wind so strong?"

"On the sea." Ryan briefly talked about the current environment, "on the high seas near Baja California."

"Well... I'll go back to Los Angeles soon. I'll take a temporary leave after I go back. I'll go to Mexico to visit your class."

"That's great, Nicole, you know. I miss you very much." Ryan heard the footsteps, and when he looked back, George was standing behind him.

"Dear, I miss you very much." Even on the phone, Ryan could hear the affection in Nicole's words.

"Then let's see me earlier." Ryan lowered his voice, "Nicole. I want to hold you..."

"Ryan..."

Apart from the sound of wind, there was only breathing sound at both ends of the satellite phone. The two of them didn't say a word, but they could clearly feel their feelings. Tens of thousands of miles were not allowed to block the two hearts that were getting closer and closer.

"That's it. Ryan, can you wait for me in Mexico?"

"I will definitely wait for you, Nicole, whenever."

After hanging up the phone, Ryan realized that he had walked to the restaurant at the stern of the boat without realizing it. It was quiet and there was no one to see.

Since he has arrived here, Ryan is not going to return to the front cabin. Anyway, the meal is about to start, and the crew of the crew will come here for at most ten minutes to have a meal.

Walking to the large window on the side of the restaurant, Ryan looked inside through the thick glass, and the long metal dining table was filled with various buffets. The steaming hot steam on the other side should be an indispensable seafood soup for every meal after boarding the boat.

Ryan half turned around and was about to leave the window, and walked into the restaurant by the passage beside him, but he keenly caught a figure from the corner of his eyes.

The man was Leo who was washed by James Cameron's saliva. He entered the restaurant through the side door, quickly walked to the side of the seafood soup, took out a small exquisite bottle, unscrewed the cap and sprinkled something into the soup.

What was he doing? Ryan didn't even think about it. He gestured to George not far away. George rushed to the main entrance of the restaurant like a cheetah, and had not forgotten to look inside through the window.

Ryan also quickly followed. When he rushed to the door of the restaurant, he heard a scream and a loud noise coming from inside. When he entered the restaurant, he saw that George had subdued the guy and was picking up the bottle with a white handkerchief.

"Shit...what happened?" A chef ran from the kitchen into the restaurant.

"Call the security personnel on the ship and notify Director Cameron." Ryan said quickly.

"Okay... OK." These chefs were specially appointed by the crew, so they naturally understood the weight of Ryan's words.

"Let me go, let me go!"

Although George tied his hands with his belt, he was still struggling unwillingly, "You are illegally detained! I will file a lawsuit in the court!"

"Litigation?" Ryan's lips sneered a sarcastic smile. Not to mention what this guy did, this place is the high seas far away from the coastline.

"Ryan! Ryan!"

There were dense footsteps and anxious shouts from James Cameron from outside the restaurant. He was relieved until he entered the restaurant and saw Ryan standing there intact.

Even today, James Cameron still remembers what happened when filming "Terminator 2". Because Ryan suffered some minor injuries, the crazy woman Nicole Kidman actually had a big fight with him. Although he was not afraid of her, who would want to face a hysterical woman?

"What happened?" Cameron looked at Leo who was lying on the ground, then at George who was stepping on him.

"I just passed by the restaurant and happened to see Mr. Leo adding this thing to our seafood soup..." Ryan pointed to the bottle wrapped in a white handkerchief by George.

"This is benzylidine!" George spoke, "It is a central nervous system. The amount he added is enough to poison more than 50 people. In severe cases, it may cause the heartbeat to stop."

"What?"

Including Cameron, those who arrived later glared at the guy on the ground.

"George is right." The doctor is a must-have person for every crew. He glanced and sniffed the smell, "It's benzinidine, which is a secondary drug."

PS: Note... During the inspection of the shooting, someone from the photography team poisoned the photo, causing 50 people, including Cameron, to be poisoned and admitted to the hospital. This is a real incident.
