Heads Up Hollywood

Time flies, it has been more than half a month.

With Cameron's sincere cooperation, the shooting went smoothly. In more than half a month, most of the scenes in the Rosarito studio have been filmed.

However, Tang En set aside a full month of filming time for the remaining few scenes.

Because the next scene is the core of the whole movie, and it is the soul that makes fans buy tickets to enter the movie theater and shed tears willingly.

Play in the water!

Throughout the whole "Titanic", there are not many scenes in the water, but it is the essence of the whole movie. Moreover, filming in water is extremely difficult, challenging, and challenging.

Even though a month of shooting time has been set aside, Twain does not guarantee that it will be completed smoothly. Cameron even believes that without 50 days of shooting, it is impossible to complete this part of the scene.

Dunn sighed. What he was worried about was not these, but whether Kate Winslet could resist.

There are several parts in the underwater scene, some of which are fixed-point shooting in the swimming pool, which is easy to handle, just pour warm water into the small tank directly.

But most scenes require a lot of water!

For example, in the scene where the sea water pours into the cabin, at least three full containers of water are needed. Where did the crew get so much warm water?

It is already October, and the temperature of the river is only over 20 degrees. No one can bear to soak in cold water of this temperature for a long time! Especially the heroine "Ruth" has a lot of such scenes.

After thinking for a long time, Tang En decided to start simple and shoot in the swimming pool. The scene is the scene of "Jack" and "Luth" floating on the icy sea after the big ship broke, and the scene of life and death.

This scene requires strong acting skills and soul collision, and the sparks of love burst out in the icy sea like shaking the mountains.

Fortunately, the swimming pool is warm water.

...

"Jack, I love you!"

"Come on, no goodbye. Keep it up, you understand?"

"I'm cold."

"Ruth, you're going to make it out, be able to have lots of kids, watch them grow up, and live out your old age... You're going to go to heaven in your warm, comfortable bed, not here, not tonight, not like me, do you understand?"

"I... my body is numb."

Hearing this, Tang En sighed, "Stop! Come here first and rest for ten minutes."

In the whole crew, the atmosphere is very serious.

Tang En was wearing a thick layer of waterproof clothing, and carried a camera wrapped in waterproof clothing on his shoulders. He slowly climbed up the swimming pool, looked at Cameron with a gloomy face, and shook his head.

This shot has been filmed for a full six hours!

According to Tang En's understanding, it is best to take a long and steady shot, fixed on the parting lovers, and use the most objective attitude to examine the love between "Jack" and "Ruth" from the perspective of a bystander, rather than participating in the story. There are too many pattern clips.

Generally speaking, this is a common method for European literary films to express sublimation themes.

It's a pity that now it seems that the shooting effect is very bad.

That kind of cold and biting feeling, the desolation of parting from life and death, the reluctance of heaven and man... Neither Leonardo nor Kate expressed their emotions well.

"How are you, are you alright?"

Cameron came over with a concerned face.

The performances of Leonardo and Kate were hard work, but director Twain was also working hard!

He carried a twenty-pound camera and stood with the two of them in the swimming pool. Even if it was warm water, such a strong load was enough to crush anyone.

Tang En shook his head, knowing that Cameron could help to shoot in the water, but he had to refuse, with a firm expression, "If I, the director, can't hold on, how can I ask my actors?"

Cameron patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly, "Twain, well said!"

...

"My body is numb."

"Winning the boat ticket... is the luckiest thing in my life. I am really honored to know you. It is an honor. Ruth, you must promise me, promise me to live, you can't give up... Whatever happens, whatever the circumstances, Ruth, promise me, promise me..."

"I promise you."

"do not forget……"

"I'll never forget! Jack, I'll never forget!"

"CUT!"

Tang En's face was not good-looking, and his tone was a bit serious, "Leon, you have to remember that you are dying, and every word of yours is the last sentence of your life. You have to entrust the dignity of your life when you are dying. And the sense of sacredness is shown, but it is simply weak, this performance is too superficial!"

Leonardo was very ashamed, "I'm sorry, Tang En, I will work hard to understand."

"Kate, remember what I said? You have to express emotions as complicated as possible, with fear, with grief, and more importantly, with the effort to live and fulfill the firm belief that Jack entrusted! But what do I see? ? Dumb, sluggish, lifeless!"

It was the first time Tang En said such harsh words to her. Kate Winslet bit her lips tightly, refusing to make a sound.

"Forget it, let's go ashore." Tang En paused, then turned his head, "I'm sorry, Kate, I take back what I just said, don't take it to heart."

Kate forced a smile, it was ugly.

After landing on the shore, Tang En announced an important decision to everyone, "Fix the sink on the west side, and we'll go there to shoot in half an hour!"

"Ah? Then this group of shots will not be shot?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows, "Who said no more?"

"Didn't you say... Ah! Tang En, you are going to shoot this sequence in cold water!" An assistant director suddenly realized and exclaimed.

Tang En nodded heavily, "I really think so. This shot is very important, it is the sublimation of the soul of the whole movie, we must make it perfect!"

Some unimportant literary dramas, in order to catch up with the progress, muddle along.

But such an important lens, there must be no mistakes!

After hearing the news, Leonardo and Kate fell silent for an instant, with fear in their eyes.

They have had enough of filming in warm water, if it is cold water...

can not imagine!

...

The New York studio where Jon Landau was sent by Grant Hill naturally became the highest leader here.

The New York studio is mainly green screen shooting, and the scheduled shooting cycle is 15 days.

At this moment, Jon Landau was discussing something quietly with his confidant Raymond in the office.

"We've already made contact. It doesn't matter if the steel wire breaks or the induction fails. In short, we have conceived more than a dozen plans to create obstacles for that kid."

Raymond blinked his left eye a few times in a row, and a cold smile flickered at the corner of his mouth.

Jon Landau tapped the table rhythmically with one hand, "You have to control this matter yourself, and you must be foolproof. Don't be stingy with the hush money. This time, I must teach him a profound lesson!"

As he spoke, Jon Landau became a little angry.

When he was in the studio in Los Angeles, that boy Tang En scolded himself in front of everyone on the set. Did he really think he was the director?

Raymond smiled, "Don't worry, I promise to give that kid a memory that will last a lifetime."

Just then, Jon Landau's agent called.

"Jon, something happened!" The manager's voice was urgent.

"What's wrong?" Jon Landau looked puzzled.

The manager held back his anger and said, "Fox Pictures just informed me that it has terminated your employment contract!"

"What?" Jon Landau's face changed suddenly, and he stood up abruptly, "This is impossible, they have no reason to do this!"

The manager said in a deep voice, "Jon, did you do something wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Jon Landau felt guilty.

Economic Humanity: "The people from Fox said... that you have seriously affected the filming of the film, and have notified the lawyer, and will immediately terminate the contract with you."

Jon Landau was a little dumbfounded, what's going on?

He wanted to create difficulties for Tang En's filming, slow down his filming progress, and prevent the film from being released in the summer next year, in order to undermine the confidence of Fox's executives in Tang En.

However, that is just a conception and has not been implemented yet!

"This is impossible, they have no evidence, this is slander!" Jon Landau firmly believed that his plan would not be known by Fox people.

The agent sighed: "Jon, I don't know what you did, but Fox's people obviously got really angry, and the lawyer has already sent me the termination contract."

"They can't do this!" Jon Landau couldn't help shouting, "I didn't do anything, they have no evidence! They can't unilaterally tear up the agreement for no reason!"

The manager felt helpless, "Jon, have you forgotten the content of the contract?"

"Um?"

"Fox signed a contract with you. The fixed budget of "Titanic" is 85 million US dollars, allowing no more than 10% fluctuation. If the budget is seriously exceeded, Fox Pictures has the right to terminate the contract at any time."

Jon Landau suddenly became stupid!

He really didn't expect that Fox Films would come up with a bottom line!

Just... why?

Jon Landau was puzzled.

With his current status and fame in Hollywood, even if he really made some small mistakes, it is impossible to directly terminate the contract like tearing his skin.

No, something must have happened here that he didn't know about!

Jon Landau was not stupid, he pondered for a while, "Where is Jamie? Has he been fired too?"

The agent denied: "No, James is still filming in Mexico."

There was a "hum" in Jon Landau's mind, and he suddenly had a feeling of spinning.

The chief culprit of the budget overrun was not fired, but his assistant was fired. Is there any reason?

However, this result further convinced Jon Landau's judgment just now.

Someone is deliberately targeting themselves!

Could it be Dunn Walker?

Jon Landau's body turned cold. He had had a conflict with Twain, but Twain...couldn't be narrow-minded enough to directly put pressure on the Fox executives to fire him with a tough stance, right?

"Paul, there is something strange about this matter, help me find out!"

Jon Landau could hardly speak.

He is also enthusiastic about designing, planning to trick Dunn Walker. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he received a dismissal contract.

Why is this?

Jon Landau, want to cry but have no tears.
