Chapter 68 Publicity and Commentary

"Terminator 2" is like dropping a high-explosive bomb in the hot summer season, causing a series of reactions. From the next day, there was a rare long queue at the entrances of major popular cinemas across the United States. Tickets for most cinemas are almost sold out. Many people cannot buy tickets in the past two days and have to book tickets for a longer time in advance.

The last time this situation happened was when "The Sixth Sense" was released in 1990. The popularity of "Terminator 2" only increased compared to the beginning. In supermarkets, restaurants, roads, and parks, people were talking about this movie, about the future savior, and about the showdown between T800 and T1000.

As the movies are released 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 get a piece of the pie?

"In the field of action films on the big screen, no one can compare with James Cameron. He not only shocked our senses with wonderful action lenses, but also had the vision of coexisting grandeur and aesthetics behind one big scene after another. Through his outstanding directorial talent, he turned those incredible ideas into reality and presented them to the audience. These were vividly expressed in "Terminator 2". The T800, which is as muscular as 18-wheel truck, has real and moving emotions. Although it is just a cold and hard machine on the outside, it has a human heart!"

——Hal Hinson, The Washington Post

The famous film critic Roger Albert gave the movie three and a half stars - the highest four stars in the column of the Chicago Tribune. He praised Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ryan Jenkins, saying that Schwarzenegger finally found the role and performance method that suits him the most. Ryan Jenkins vividly interprets a boy who is rebellious but still has a childlike heart and kindness.

Although the movie is very acclaimed, and it is clearly a commercial production, and it is meaningless to discuss too much about the connotation and other issues, but people who oppose for the sake of opposition, or to show their uniqueness and thus attract attention are everywhere.

For example, a columnist in Time magazine described the movie as only a pile of fantasies, leaving the audience with disappointment, and nothing can be thought-provoking about the movie. Whether it is James Cameron or Ryan Jenkins, they all brought an extremely bad work!

There are also film critics who want to make a self-hype with the popularity of "Terminator 2", criticizing that there is no need for anything other than the action scenes of lightning and thunder and dazzling special effects.

However, this movie has caused widespread discussion in the industry. George Lucas, one of the four major directors, wrote directly in the Los Angeles Times: "When T1000 stepped out of the raging flames, it was not just a machine killer, but not just a movie character. It was a revolution. A revolution about film technology. Although there are not many special effects shots, the things that are shown by Terminator 2 are worth exploring and thinking. From then on, those pictures that can only exist in our imagination can be fully displayed on the big screen through the special effects in the later stages!"

As Ryan's third film image, John Connor must be compared with Cole and Kevin. Just like Roger Albert's evaluation, praise accounts for almost 90%. Many critics believe that abandoning the cute and funny Kevin, Ryan is enough to occupy a position in Hollywood film history with just Cole and John Connor.

Even many media have put the title of Hollywood's first child star in history on Ryan's head.

"What? The No. 1 Child Star in History? Thanks for their praise, but I don't think I can afford this honor. Whether it is Shulan Dunpole or Judy Foster, they are better than me, right?" Ryan firmly denied in an interview that he is not a fool, and others say it doesn't matter. If he admits it carelessly, then the arrogant, arrogant, and disrespectful titles of seniors will be put on his head.

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

"After experiencing the nonsense performance of "Home Imperial", Ryan Jenkins once again showed his acting skills in "The Sixth Sense". His performance in "Terminator 2" made Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger pale. If it weren't for the T800's self-termination, this movie would have become his one-man show in terms of acting. In our opinion, commercial production cannot allow Ryan to fully play. His next step should turn to art films, which is the battlefield for his future performance!"

This is a comment in the Hollywood Reporter, which believes that Ryan should have more artistic pursuits after experiencing the baptism of commercial films.

"Art film? Haha..." When Jinsley asked, Ryan only left a faint laugh.

This summer vacation, Ryan is destined to spend the flight around, sharing the $5 million salary and one percent of the North American box office, but not just filming, but also cooperating with the promotion of the entire crew.

The crew divided into two groups and began to travel around major cities in North America in the next month. Unfortunately, he became a big light bulb because the group with him was James Cameron and Linda Hamilton.

Because it would be extremely inconvenient to take a passenger plane, the film company simply rented two business planes, just watching the uninhibited man and woman sitting opposite them and loosening their seat belts, Ryan couldn't help but protest.

"Damn it! Linda and Jim, this is on the plane, there is only a little space, you always have to worry about other people's feelings, right? Well, they are all adults and don't care, but don't forget that the person sitting opposite you is a minor!" Ryan said dissatisfied.

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

Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly, and 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."

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

"I am already an older boy at the age of 11. I had my first girlfriend when I was ten." Cameron said.

"Wow, this is big news." Ryan smiled brightly, "I believe the tabloid will definitely offer a good price!"

There is nothing surprising about this kind of rush-style publicity. It is nothing more than accepting interviews from reporters, attending several programs, or breaking news to each other at press conferences, attracting the public's attention.

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

"Ryan~Ryan~"

Hundreds of teenagers were blocking the door of a Boston hotel, screaming louder than a wave, blocking the car that had just arrived from the airport outside the hotel.

Ryan had no choice but to put down the car window and waved to the outside frequently, which resulted in even more crazier screams.

"Ryan~Signed~Ryan~Signed!"

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

According to common sense, this situation should be popular among the crew, but Mario Cassa and James Cameron both turned a little dark when they saw what fans held in their hands.

Except for a few people holding the poster of "Terminator 2", most people are holding up Ryan's novels, singles, previous movie posters, etc. It can be said that his own popularity has suppressed the entire crew.

With the assistance of the hotel security guard, the car finally drove to the hotel door. Ryan followed George and had just got out of the car. Heavy waves and screams came over the shop, making people feel numb.

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 signing a few names, he quickly walked into the hotel lobby. If he was surrounded, God would know when he could get out.

Hell! Ryan cursed in his heart. In less than half a minute, his clothes and hair were as messy as those of the bird's nest. The buttons on the front were still missing. Could it be that he had encountered a female pervert?

"Ryan, if your fans don't go to the theater to watch Terminator 2, we'll definitely throw you in Boston!" After entering the elevator, Mario Casa made a joke.

To be honest, the film contract he had made him feel very painful, but with the release of "Home Imperial" and the Oscars, he gradually found that the man's influence was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help but sigh that James Cameron's decision to sign him was extremely correct.

You should know that the main consumer groups in the film market are always teenagers. With Ryan's increasingly strong appeal among this group, he will inevitably drive a considerable number of viewers. It would be even better if he created some topics at this time. Should he encourage him to provoke Tom Cruise?

Of course, he could only think about it. With the other party's intelligence and maturity, he might easily see through his tricks. It would be better to think less about such things that are not worth the loss.

In addition to participating in a large theater movie event, the crew also accepted joint interviews from local media, which was considered to be a driving force for "Terminator 2" in the Greater Boston area.

Originally, Ryan wanted to visit the famous Cambridge City, but when he saw the overwhelming crazy fans at the event, he simply gave up his heart.
