788 [Real Events]
When thinking about how to adapt the script of this movie, Luo Yuan also understood in his heart that even if he had a script, it would be difficult to shoot this "Titanic" directly, just like the original "Jurassic Park", he needed to do a lot of preliminary preparation.
In his previous life, Luo Yuan specialized in understanding the background of movie shooting.
In order to shoot the real location, Twentieth Century Fox purchased a 160,000-square-kilometer filming area on the Pacific coast of Baja California, Mexico, and set up a complete film set there, and spent nearly half a year building a studio in the north of Rosarido, the size of a small city, including a complete infrastructure and multiple sound stages.
By blasting, they also made two huge tanks.
A tank that can hold 64 million liters of water contains a realistic reconstruction model of the Titanic, this model can rotate 270 degrees, and another tank that can hold more than 20 million liters has a luxurious interior decoration of the first class, although the model in the large tank is completely proportional, but Ramon has to make some compromises, such as the lifeboat and chimney have been reduced by a tenth, part of the deck facilities have been omitted, and a foredeck has also been omitted, and these omitted parts were later replaced by models -
This also led to the fact that this movie burned a lot of money.
So after the filming of the corresponding scene, the model ship will be dismantled and sold as scrap metal to supplement the filming expenses, and the 22 million liters of small tank is equipped with a huge hydraulic device, which can be used to make the first-class restaurant and its large staircase sink into the water at a speed of 30 centimeters per minute, it is said that in the first test is the large staircase from its fixation, but no one was injured, the bow of the Titanic, which is more than 200 meters long, was found to be too large when it was sunk into the water, and it was like a shock absorber in the water, in order to make it sink into the water, Cameron ordered the contents to be emptied, he personally broke some of the ship's windows.
He's a hands-on director.
Later, the sinking of a restaurant alone took several days to shoot, and the use of special powders on the bodies floating in the water, which crystallized when exposed to water, and the use of wax on the hair and clothes to make the actors look as if they had frozen to death, Cameron wanted to use this film to advance the visual effects and realistically simulate the function of water......
Luo Yuan doesn't have a lot of memories of this movie.
But, after all, he can't fully know the filming process at that time, so if he wants to complete this movie, he really has to work hard, first of all, it is a very important thing to buy a venue to build an equal proportion of "Titanic", and when his script is almost completed, he will officially build it, in addition, he needs to check the information-
Past.
The movie about the "Titanic" hitting the iceberg and being silent, but it is based on real events, this kind of movie based on real events, the gimmick itself is still very attractive to the audience, if possible, Luo Yuan also hopes to combine the story told in the movie with the relevant accidents in reality, in order to increase the shock of the movie......
In fact, there is a lot of news related to the shipwreck.
In his previous life, Luo Yuan would watch a CCTV variety show called "Seeing Words Like Faces", where there were artists who read more than once the letters written by the shipwrecked victims, these letters are word-for-word, touching, just listening, you can make people feel that kind of despair, Luo Yuan listened to the content of some letters, and often felt a lot of emotion, if there is a chance to shoot such a connected movie, he is still very willing.
"Crackling. ”
In ten minutes, all the things that flashed in his mind were recorded on the computer, Luo Yuan pressed a button on the table, and soon the assistant Zhao Rui pushed the door and walked in: "Boss, you look for me." ”
"I want to ask you something. ”
Luo Yuan said: "In the past shipwrecks, is there any example of a particularly influential one that caused a huge sensation at that time, you checked the information, and after finding the information, give it to me." ”
"You don't have to look it up. ”
Zhao Rui said: "In the twentieth century, the Pearl cruise ship was the world's largest passenger ship with the most luxurious internal facilities, and it had the reputation of 'unsinkable' after it was built, but ironically, it suffered bad luck on her maiden voyage - She set off from the British port, through many countries to China, when night came, the Pearl collided with an iceberg, causing the hull to rupture, the keel was injured, and in the early morning of the next day, the hull was completely broken into two, and then sank into the ocean, more than 2,000 passengers, more than 1,500 people died, of which only three or four hundred victims were recovered, and the Pearl accident was one of the deadliest casualties in peacetime, and its hull wreckage was not found again until 1990. Protection of scientific and cultural organizations. ”
Zhao Rui should have been a scholar before.
She can clearly recite the specific numbers, but Luo Yuan's expression is slightly stunned, maybe it is because the original owner has not seen the relevant news, or because there is no movie showing shipwrecks in this world, so she doesn't know such a thing, but after listening to Zhao Rui's retelling at this moment, Luo Yuan feels that this is simply a different world's version of the "Titanic"!
Could it be that this is also some kind of echo of parallel worlds?
Luo Yuan's expression changed, and I don't know how long it took for his eyes to regain firmness, and he said, "If such a story is put on the screen, it should be a very shocking scene......
"The boss's new movie?"
Zhao Rui said very unexpectedly.
Luo Yuan nodded, in this way, the name of "Titanic" cannot be used, change it to another name, anyway, the core of the story remains the same, after thinking about it, he said: "At that time, the people on this ship, many people, were not very simple, right?"
"Yes. ”
Zhao Rui said: "Even including some of the world's famous top rich people, this is also one of the reasons for the unprecedented shock of this accident, but it has been forgotten by too many people over the years, and at that time, there were people from every country on the ship, including Chinese and British and American businessmen, the vast majority of Chinese people, taking this ship, in fact, are to go home." ”
Luo Yuan nodded.
Then, it is no longer realistic to completely orientalize the story, unless you give up the adaptation of this real event, and go to the original "Titanic" that this world does not have, in this case, let the movie, like Marvel, become a work that combines Eastern and Western flavors.
