Chapter 194 Sweet shooting, love affair exposure, guessing the ending, calling for help from afar
According to common sense, since the Titanic has been built, wouldn’t it be over after filming it from beginning to end according to the order of the story in the script?
In this way, after the filming is finished, the imitation ship can be dragged to the recycling bin and sold without even dismantling it.
But unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The so-called half Titanic is actually just an empty shell.
For example, the first-class cabin of the Titanic is located on the 30-foot-deep artificial lake in the second studio. No matter it is the restaurant scene during the voyage or the sinking scene when the sea water is flooding, they are all filmed here.
Studios No. 3 and No. 4 built multiple scenes such as lower cabins and boiler rooms. As for the real deck, verandah, stern and half of the hull, they were located in Studio No. 1.
The reason why half of the Titanic was built, but all the interior scenes were stripped from the hull, is actually for safety.
After all, it is not impossible to actually build a Titanic and scuttle it, but the sinking scene is really not filming, but a life-saving one. Although the suction of the ship when it sank has been falsified, the sinking zone The danger to come is still obvious.
Because of this, the shooting arrangement of "Titanic" is exactly the same as other movies. Except for the sinking scene, the other scenes are naturally how to save money. Although the truck driver is a tyrant on the set and a money-burning machine, he will not Just like Jiang Mosquito, let alone like Xiaogangpao, in order to pursue extreme reality, let the actors go back to the road of escape in 1942.
When the crew officially started filming, the material needed was actually the love between Jack and Ruth.
As for the diving salvage in the opening title?
During the past few years of submarine exploration, the truck driver has personally drilled into the submarine, and took a shot at the wreck site of the Titanic. It can be used after just a few cuts. At most, some CGI images can be added to be embedded in the feature film.
As for the flowing footage of old Ruth and the research ship, one was filmed in a mansion in Malibu, and the other was filmed on the Rennes Victory. Roland didn't have to worry about these two, because the truck driver had already finished filming.
So, when Roland sat in front of the monitor, what he was facing was just the temporary Southampton pier built by the crew for the filming of the setting sail.
The Titanic will also sail on the sea.
Maybe it was the truck driver's generosity that made Roland extremely excited, or maybe it was because he had been used to snatching guide tubes from these "famous directors" for more than six years and immersed himself in tinkering, so after putting on the director's hat, he instantly entered the role.
Picking up the draft of the sub-shot and glanced at it, the shot belonging to Bai Yueguang has been replayed in Roland's head countless times. In the ears of all staff.
"The No. 1 pilot took the long shot and shot the picture of the vehicle driving to the pier... The No. 2 camera took a close-up shot of Kate getting off the car. Note that when she looked up, the camera was slightly tilted. Her neck and jaw are also very beautiful..."
"Kate, you have to be graceful when you get off the car later, you should know better than me..."
When he finished directing the traffic and all the personnel took their positions, with the crisp sound of the scene record, the characters in the set moved, "August 1, 1996, the first shooting of the first act, Action!"
...
This is a busy pier, crowded with people, and almost everyone wears a hat on their head.
At a glance, there are newsboy hats, wide-brimmed hats, bowler hats, and hamburger hats. There are all kinds of styles. The shape of the hat alone can roughly distinguish the identity of each person. If it is matched with their clothing, the gap between rich and poor , appear instantly.
Some people are smoking cigarettes, while others are driving a carriage. When they meet each other, they naturally avoid each other, vividly portraying the sense of distance.
While people were busy, the sound of beeping steam, from far to near, penetrated into the ears.
Hearing this sound, everyone who was still stuck in the concept of "bicycles and carriages are all masters" turned their heads, and as their sight expanded, a gold-encrusted classic car had come to them, dressed in the same style The uniformed driver and bodyguard looked at them blankly. Even without the prestige in their eyes, the pedestrians blocking the vehicle's path still chose to dodge decisively.
After all, no one wants to mess with dignitaries who can ride in a car.
Just because they avoided it, doesn’t mean they stopped watching it.
Because in addition to the gold-encrusted classic car at the front, there are two other cars that follow closely behind.
The ostentation is so big, it will naturally arouse people's curiosity, and when everyone cast gossiping glances at the leading car, the car that found the vacant seat had already stopped, and the bodyguard sitting on the co-pilot got out of the car , deftly opened the rear door, and at the same time, a hand wearing a white leather glove quietly protruded out.
Supported by the hands of bodyguards, a charming figure in a black-striped printed dress with a white background and holding a purple umbrella finally appeared.
When she stepped on the side pedal and got out of the car gracefully, the purple top hat with a bow tie and a wide brim covered everything that people wanted to see. Such a situation made the onlookers extremely regretful.
But at the same time they were disappointed, the woman seemed to have heard people's voices, she raised her head naturally, and looked around, her light green pupils were like a calm lake, without any waves, without any emotion, and the jade-like goose The egg face, with the bright red lips dotted on it, under the afterglow of the sun, is like a black hole, swallowing the eyes of all men.
Even if it is only a glimpse, it has perfectly explained what it means to win that ticket, which is the luckiest thing in my life. '
After seeing such a scene, Roland, who stood in front of the monitor with his hands on his hips, also clapped happily.
Said in a nostalgic but secretly delighted tone: "Cut, Good!"
Although the truck driver had already thrown the guide tube and the draft of the sub-shots in front of Roland, he was the producer and director of the whole movie after all. When Roland shouted 'Good', a group of people cast their gazes over After seeing the old man smiling and applauding, the studio was filled with cheerful voices.
This behavior of not taking village officials as cadres did not surprise Roland.
When he took over the guide tube from Spielberg, those people were also very surprised.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you are familiar with it, it will be nice.
While the truck driver was helping Roland out of the siege, he also turned his head to look at Roland. The face of this young guy who had known him for more than six years was full of happy smiles, although he had lost his temper a lot in front of Roland before. , but both parties understand that it is just a joke, and when they are working, they naturally don't care about these things.
"It's a good shot, you really know her most beautiful appearance." The truck driver smiled and bumped Roland with his elbow, and before Roland could reply, he continued: "Don't just stand there, take the draft of the scene and go over there. Tell a play, people are waiting for you."
The truck driver's approval made Roland happy. Although this shot was not difficult and he had simulated and repeated it countless times in his mind, the old man's affirmation was that it was more expensive than gold.
Taking the draft handed over by the other party, he took off the hat and put it back on the other party's head. This action caused the old man to shake his head repeatedly, but Roland ignored it. When he walked in front of Kate with a smile, he stood in the car. Kate next to her stretched out her right hand. The calmness in the camera has disappeared, replaced by the mischievousness of young people.
"Oh, beautiful lady, nice to meet you." Roland naturally bent one knee in a half-kneeling position, then shook hands and kissed them.
Looking at the flowing movements, Kate smiled happily. After Roland stood up again, she said directly: "How is it?"
"James said yes." Roland asked knowingly.
"You know that's not what I asked!" Kate, who didn't hear a satisfactory answer, raised her hand and hammered Roland's chest.
"Okay, okay, okay, you are very beautiful in the camera." Since it was working hours, Roland stopped teasing her.
"Really?" Hearing these words, the smile on Kate's face became wider.
"Of course." Roland nodded heavily, and asked back: "Do you think I will make you look ugly?"
"You dare not." Kate replied with a smile.
If it were another director, Kate would definitely not ask such inexplicable questions. In this era when film cameras cannot perform shooting and playback like digital cameras, the director who can watch the monitor has great power. Whether the actors have performed well , It all depends on their judgment, and the work communication between the two parties depends entirely on the collision of thinking.
But facing Roland... Kate is fearless.
The two have been communicating continuously for more than 180 days. If there is still a problem, then they have to communicate well at night to check for gaps and make up for them.
What's more, her acting skills are not bad.
Even without half a year of emotional training, she can still win the role steadily, and the tacit understanding between her and Roland makes her feel like a fish in water in the performance, because now it is not about 'shaping Ruth' or 'becoming Ruth', but 'I am Ruth'.
As for adjusting the camera angle during the performance to ensure that there is an emotional communication between yourself and the camera?
She doesn't have to worry about it. If there is a problem, Roland, who is sitting behind the monitor, will even find out before the truck driver.
Because that kind of admiration for beauty can be reflected in every frame.
Because of this, it is easier for Roland to speak in this state of ease.
More than 80% of the entire movie is about the love between the two. As long as the two of them have a good understanding, the interpretation of other supporting roles is very simple.
What's more, Billy Zane, the second actor who played the most roles, started with the "Back to the Future" series. He himself was trained by Robert Zemeckis, and Frances, who played Ruth's mother - Fisher worked with Tom Hanks on "Futurama" and Clint Eastwood on "Unforgiven." As for the fat lady who is good to Jack?
She is the Oscar queen in 1991!
It is no exaggeration to say that although Roland is the biggest celebrity in the crew, the acting skills of the other guys will not be the same as their fame, and they are not outstanding, and after they confirmed that the truck driver was really filmed by Roland , he himself just crossed his legs and worked as a supervisor behind the monitor to eliminate mistakes, and when he was lazy by the way, the next few boarding scenes were filmed faster.
The most discussed thing between Roland and the truck driver is whether to take more times to provide more material for subsequent editing. As for mistakes? If Roland made a mistake by making fun of Kate, he would have been killed by the truck driver by now.
Of course, the truck driver didn't hit him.
Not only that, but the old man who should have yelled at Roland also showed a very high level of self-cultivation.
From the beginning to the end, they watched Roland happily running back and forth, and that expression made Roland panic.
At first, he thought that the truck driver was holding his breath and preparing to secretly give himself a set of **** and bliss, but after chatting for a while at lunch, he realized that he was thinking too much.
Because no matter how he followed with the plate, the other party was unwilling to sit at the same table with him.
Since he thinks his mouth is upright, he is relieved.
However, he didn't know that, as he sat next to Kate, the guy who had been staring at him all morning finally took back his camera.
That night, the scenes of "Roland giving Kate a gentleman's salute", "the two laughed and exchanged", "Kate hammered Roland's chest with a small fist", and "gathered together for dinner" quietly made it to the top of the tabloids. headlines.
That’s right, the truck driver let Roland hand out candy in the group, not because he could hold his nose and eat it, but because Fox needed promotional materials, so he turned a blind eye to make the young couple quarrel.
And when the Fox reporter sent the obtained material back to the company, after it was printed out of the factory, America exploded that night—
"Oh! My! God! Absolutely right, this must be Roland and Kate!"
"Wow!! Roland and Kate? I can't believe it!"
"Omg! OMG! OMG! I said it was them! What Reese! Don't they look and feel good!"
"Kate actually hit Roland with her fist? The two of them were still having dinner together? Shit! Could it be that what the group of netizens on the Internet guessed, the 'yes' that Roland said was Kate? They were already together at that time? "
"The two of them stand together really well! You look at the look in Roland's gentlemanly salute, I feel like I'm suffocated! They definitely don't just know each other! Now I strongly suspect that the kid Steven mentioned before is just Roland!"
If the romance hype before "Jurassic Park" was due to Comrade Chuan Jianguo's enthusiasm for Roland, then now...
Whoever has a little relationship with Roland can become popular.
And the reason is very simple, one month, 400 million, can prove everything.
Countless viewers are already willing to spend money for him. Under such circumstances, isn’t it a matter of course to pay attention to news that can be seen without money? What's more, it's time for Roland to fall in love now.
In this society where parents will acquiesce and care for their children's dating and dating with the opposite **** after entering high school, Roland can stir up an uproar just by saying "yes". They were very excited immediately.
If the surprise when they read the newspaper news is their most primitive expression, then the IMDb discussion area, which is almost overwhelmed, has a show operation. The post that suspected Reese was Roland's girlfriend was justified by the administrator. The posts labeled as rumors, suspected that Kate is Roland's girlfriend, were quietly put to the top by the administrator, and in the page—
It's already a quarrel!
'I have expected it! I had expected it when Roland answered "yes"! If it wasn't for Roland, how could Steven praise Kate's beauty at the Oscars? You know he usually doesn't boast much! '
‘They match so well! In the photo of Roland giving a gentleman's salute, Kate smiled so brightly, it was definitely not a faux pas! '
'Wow! Was my family's Roland kidnapped by an Englishman like this? '
‘What do you mean upstairs? Kate is beautiful, isn't she? If you really talk about grades, I don't think any of them are worthy of Roland! '
‘But I still like Reese! I think she and Roland are more suitable! '
‘This is really a big surprise! Can anyone tell me if Kate is the heroine of the love movie that Roland mentioned before? '
'I found it, I found it! Kate's "Sense and Sensibility", which was nominated for an Oscar for supporting actress this year, was filmed by Ang Lee, and Ang Lee's previous "Wedding Banquet" and "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" were all copyrighted by Roland and released! Roland and Kate must have known each other for a long time! There is also the issue of your concern upstairs! After the gossip was exposed, Fox TV has just urgently interrupted a piece of news, saying that Kate is only the heroine of Roland's new movie "Titanic". It's just a lover, it's a colleague relationship. '
‘What? Colleague relationship? Does Fox think we're idiots? '
‘Do we look that stupid? '
‘They must be in a relationship! Otherwise, why would Fox suddenly refute the rumor? It must have disrupted their announcement arrangements! '
I have to say that Fox is indeed a subsidiary of the tabloid kingdom. In terms of publicity and distribution, it has a good grasp of human nature.
If it's just newspaper gossip, then Roland's fans will definitely do the job of pulling the strings in the online community. After all, with Roland's current reputation, no matter which girl he is with, there will definitely be fans who will feel dissatisfied.
No matter how bad Reese is, in her previous life, she also gained a lot of fans with the "Legal Blonde" series, and there are many people who like her.
Kate, on the other hand, has become a member of the gossip news because of Oscar's rumors. Although she is beautiful, compared with Reese who played the role of Gwen, her performance is not the same.
No way, who made "Sense and Sensibility" be led by her aunt?
However, after the gossip was exposed, Fox TV urgently refuted the rumors, so there was a taste of trying to cover up.
If Roland isn't in a relationship with Kate, why is Fox nervous?
You have been stuck on the official announcement of the "Titanic" project directed by James Cameron and starring Roland Allen. If it weren't for the fact that the hero and heroine really got together, why did you rush to refute the rumors?
It was Fox's darker and darker behavior that made people believe that Roland and Kate were real couples. In this case, many guys were directly attracted by Fox's coquettish manipulation, and their eyes also went from Roland to the end. On the question of who to match with, it directly shifted to the point where Roland and Kate talked about, is it Foolingaround? Or real date?
Most people are actually more inclined to date. After all, Roland’s previous personality has nothing to do with playing. Not only that, if he is not in a relationship, then why would the guests at the Oscars tease Kate?
It's a pity that when the masses were eagerly waiting for an answer, none of the media said that they could do an exclusive interview with Roland.
However, the spokespersons of the two sides gave a surprising answer to the public.
Kate’s spokesperson said: ‘The two parties have known each other since the signing of the project at the beginning of the year. '
Roland's guardian, David Olsen, who was once marveled by many fans as "it turned out to be because he didn't die", confessed to the media: "Roland participated in the casting of the crew. In his own words, love In the film, finding a heroine who has feelings is more important than anything else, because he wants to dedicate his sincerity to the public to thank everyone for their support over the years. The film is a kind of deception, it is to deceive the feelings of the public, to deceive the trust of fans, to deceive your love and maintenance...'
Although David Olsen just came out to make a fuss, everyone in Amerika understood everything.
Isn't this an admission that Roland and Kate are in love?
And Roland chose Kate as the heroine because he had feelings for Kate?
Wow!
Isn’t this clearly telling everyone that the romance film "Titanic" is just for sugar?
Um?
etc!
"Titanic"? ? ?
Ben was still immersed in the news of the official announcement brought by David, all of them were stunned.
"Is "Titanic" the sinking Titanic?"
"With the worst shipwreck as the background? Making a romance movie? Are you sure this isn't a joke?"
"Shit! Who does James Cameron want to shoot to death? Can he stop torturing my Roland? In "Terminator 2", he finally found a father, but the T-800 self-destructed. "Spiderman" In "Spider-Man 2", the dead relatives include the uncle and the father of the girlfriend. According to the comics, in "Spider-Man 2", the girlfriend is scheduled to die. So now, "Titanic" should not want to shoot Roland directly to death, right? ? WTF!! I don’t accept this ending of a romance movie!”
Human nature can be played with, but the audience is not a fool.
The title of "Titanic" plus the label of love can already make everyone confused, and if you add a truck driver with a bad criminal record, isn't it a matter of course to guess the ending?
Whatever these people say, though, neither Fox nor the trucker cares.
If you guessed right, you guessed it right. With Roland here, he wouldn't be afraid that these people wouldn't look at it.
They are screaming so hard now, but then everyone will shout how delicious they are!
After the release, the first batch of film critics reflected that there might still be a bunch of people rushing into the theater to see how the truck driver shot their Roland to death!
What's more, in romance movies, the selling point is not the plot, but the passionate relationship between the hero and heroine.
As long as the feelings are in place, the audience will accept it, regardless of whether it is sugar or a knife.
To put it more harshly, if someone really sends blades to the truck driver, then maybe he can directly become the richest man in the world with Roland's terrifying fans! Although making movies is my job, but selling razor blades as a side job is not a bad idea!
After all, these are fans' love for him!
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Of course, this wave of Fox’s official announcement of a love affair directly made the other companies extremely delicious.
Special code, a movie can make such a big noise when it is turned on, what will happen when it is released?
However, the other companies actually refer specifically to Warner, Disney, and Paramount.
Sony holds the right to invest in "Spider-Man", and is earning a lot of money now, so there is no panic at all;
Universal has also had a wave of bonuses in "Jurassic Park" before. Although it is greedy, it is not too desperate;
As for Warner and Paramount, they haven’t met Laura so far. Seeing Sony, Universal, and Fox take turns making money, they are also very envious, but compared with Disney, they are also very happy, because—
Disney is the only one who invited Roland, not only did not get the popularity of A+list, but also had to pay money every year!
What?
Which movie are you asking about?
Isn't that the **** "The Lion King"?
The Lion King sells better! The more they feel heartbroken! That **** Simpson, how much money they lost!
Don't say anything, "The Shawshank Redemption" also made money!
In the project "The Shawshank Redemption", isn't it Roland himself who makes a lot of money?
After drawing a bunch of backers, Disney dared not renege on their debts!
Of course, no matter how painful Disney is, how greedy Time Warner and Paramount are, they all understand that Roland, who has projects scheduled until he is twenty, has no time to take their papers.
While they were secretly sad, Roland's love affair also spread overseas, and when a bearded man in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, heard the news that Roland Allen was Kate Winslet's girlfriend, Ben put his hands on his chin , Frowning at the documents on the desk, he immediately jumped up, "Is Kate Roland's girlfriend?"
Turning his head to look at his companion beside him, he shouted, "Richard! Our project is saved!"
Note: ① "Mythbusters" released a video about whether there is a huge suction force when the ship sinks. As long as it doesn't sink instantly, it will not **** people into the bottom of the sea like taking an elevator. ② How the 190 million production cost of "Titanic" was spent is actually very interesting. Take the underwater exploration of the title as an example. Cameron told Fox at the beginning that he would shoot it himself. Models and CGI are used together to save money, but the result? He had a great time, but the cost of diving real shots is more expensive than direct CGI production. That's why I wrote that he asked Roland to invest in building submarines. In reality, he played with many submarines under the banner of filming. ③Fox is indeed unscrupulous. I won’t dig into the history. What happened this year proves everything, because CNN maddened them for publishing false news, which caused delays in epidemic prevention. According to the law, the federal government can now file a lawsuit against Fox.
