Chapter 174: Premiere, Arrival
This time, Li Fangcheng hesitated for a long time, but still made arrangements for the broadcast of two movies in China.
To make money, don't think too much, the cost of these two films, even if it is produced by the special effects company of Miracle Animation itself, but it also consumes almost all the working capital of the entire Miracle Era.
The investment of 200 million US dollars allowed all the money earned in the entire Age of Miracles to be invested.
This is also the fundamental reason why Li Fangcheng went to great lengths to use Sony, and ran out of money......
Cameron's pursuits, even in his previous life, cannot be fulfilled one by one.
During the production of the Titanic, the script was repeatedly revised, the props were changed, the model was made, the funds were broken, the deep-sea shooting was difficult, the data was collected, the props were restored, and the investors were persecuted......
These various shackles have made Cameron collapse several times!
Because of this, Cameron, who is a perfectionist, left some bugs in this movie, but in the plot of the whole movie, the flaws are not hidden.
And now, Li Fangcheng has prepared everything, the Miracle Star, a deep-sea shooting instrument built with great effort, has invested heavily to build a 1:1 Titanic that can even sail short distances at sea, and the Titanic, which is more than 260 meters long and 28 meters wide, has been created in this way!
Of course, it is impossible to think exactly the same, and there is not enough time to do the internal restoration.
Of course, many things are actually decorated, such as the steam engine, which is just the shell of a steam engine, and the diesel engine is used inside.
And the layout in the room, of course, will not be precious materials, they are all imitations.
Rao is so, it cost a lot of money, the Titanic in 1910, the cost is about 1.5 million pounds, about 7.5 million US dollars.
Of course, even now, it doesn't cost $10 million, and of course, if it all is restored, it will still need to go to $20 million.
Some people will say how the inflation of those decades has not been taken into account.
But in fact, it is also ignored that technological innovation, many manufacturing methods and methods, have become cheaper.
That's why after each new generation comes out, the price gets cheaper and cheaper over time.
The maturity of technology and the growth of raw materials can all contribute to the reduction of costs.
If it weren't for the restoration, it wouldn't even cost such a high price.
It is precisely when everything is ready, everything is ready, and even the sub-shots are presented in front of Cameron one by one, Rao is a perfectionist like Cameron, and it is difficult to imagine a better way to express it than the sub-shots provided by Li Fangcheng.
Even in this, many of the ways and methods of dealing with it are exactly the same as his own starting point.
For the understanding angle of the script, the analytical thinking, and the presentation after transformation, it seems that it is specially tailored for him, and even from the expressiveness of the technique, there are still many places that he needs to learn!!
That's what surprised him the most!!
It can be said that Cameron almost digested this filming trip while learning and making!
Before its shooting speed, it almost caught up with the TV series!
Of course, the final result is also amazing!!
Without any interference and wholehearted dedication, at least Cameron will not make the mistake of the starry sky appearing in the sea that should not be seen.
In this way, the quality of the whole movie is even better than the original Titanic in 1997!
The props are more reasonable, and there will be no more props that do not match the sense of age.
The plot has been polished more finely, and some plots that were originally a little expressive and not very expressive enough have also been done better.
The age of the leading actor also selected a younger actor, of course, the appearance is still more like the actor Kate Winslet in 97, no way, now Kate Winslet is only 13 years old, and she can't act in such a huge movie.
And Cameron's casting is not chosen at random, but tries to choose actors who are more similar to real characters in history to play.
And, although he is a little younger, he doesn't look out of place because he is young, and even because he is young, the whole plot is more reasonable.
Judging from the plot of the Titanic, whether it is Jack or Rose, both of them are immature, young, impulsive, and adventurous, no matter how you look at it, they are not particularly consistent in appearance.
Of course, being too young is definitely inappropriate, after Cameron found the right actor, after the makeup skills aged a little, a more vivid Jack and Rose jumped on the page!
On the song, Li Fangcheng thought about it, but he still didn't ask Hisaishi to help make the theme song of this song.
That song is so classic, Li Fangcheng didn't want this song to disappear into history, so "My Heart ill Go On", that is, the song of "My Heart is Eternal", Li Fangcheng still found Celine Dion through Shibasaki Kawaki.
That's right, Celine Dion officially joined Sony Records this year and became a singer under Sony.
Born in 1968, Celine Dion had the experience of performing in public for the first time in her life at the age of five, and as a child, she participated in a local traditional French song competition.
It wasn't until 1980 that Celine Dion's mother wrote "Ce N'etait Qu'un Reve" for her and recorded it on a sample tape and sent it to her agent, Rene Angelil. Under Rene's patronage, Celine Dion recorded her first album.
In 1982, Celine Dion participated in the Yamaha World Song Contest held in Tokyo and won first place.
In 1983, Celine Dion released her first French single "D'amour Ou D'amite".
In 1988, Celine Dion won the first prize at the annual Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin and signed to Sony Records.
A singer with extremely high talent and extreme hard work, who became famous at a young age, with Sony's vision, of course, will not let it go.
So Li Fangcheng didn't spend much effort to find Celine Dion, so this eternal classic "My Heart ill Go On" was recorded again!
Titanic, this giant ship reappeared in 1988!
This unsinkable giant ship sailed from 1912 to 1988!
This time, Li Fangcheng is ready to give everyone unforgettable memories!
Compared with the Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the story of the Titanic is actually not very new, and it is even a bit old-fashioned.
In search of the Titanic, which sank in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912, and its precious treasure, the priceless Heart of the Ocean, treasure hunter Bullock salvaged a rusty safe from the wreck.
In this safe, there is no treasure, only a well-preserved sketch of a young woman wearing a diamond necklace. The television news caught the attention of a centenarian woman, who, in a fit of excitement, rushed to Brock's salvage ship by helicopter. It turned out that her name was Rose Dawson, and she was the woman in the portrait.
Looking at the portrait, scenes of the past resurfaced in front of the old man's eyes, and the story began here.
In fact, the whole movie is a memoir.
And Rose's memories of this scene began on April 12, 1912, when the Titanic, which was preparing for its maiden voyage, was moored in the port, and the dock was crowded with people, vying to witness the largest and most luxurious ship ever built by mankind. Rose, a beautiful and temperamental aristocratic lady, boarded first class with her mother and fiancé, Cal Holy, the son of the Iron King.
At the same time, the film's other protagonist, the young wandering painter Jack Dawson, is lucky enough to win a third-class ticket by gambling, and in the excitement of his last-minute boarding of the ship.
The Titanic set sail, the Atlantic wind and sun were beautiful in early spring, and Jack and his companions stood at the bow of the ship looking ahead, cheering loudly and excitedly, as if the world belonged to them at this time.
Rose, who lived in the social circles of the upper classes, had long been tired of the boring conversations of the nobles, and felt that she was like a caged bird, and she came to the deck to look into the distance with a sad brow. As soon as Jack saw Rose, he was fascinated by her temperament.
As night falls, and after another bright show, Rose is desperate for her future and her marriage, and she rushes to the deck and tries to jump into the sea to end her life. Jack spotted it in time and convinced Rose with his sincerity and unique humor at the crucial moment.
Despite Carl's reluctance, he invited Jack to the first-class cabin for his kindness in saving his wife. Carl Ben wanted to take the opportunity to snub Jack, but he didn't expect Jack's frank words at the dinner table to win applause. Jack and Rose have known each other ever since and have come to know each other.
Let's start a personal story here.
Some people, one glance is a lifetime.
Some people die without a trace.
At the end of the film, of course, there is no doubt the sinking of the giant ship.
All kinds of life are revealed one by one in the back of this film!
This is a movie about love, but also about human nature.
This is actually a bit similar to the whole book of the legend of the Great Sage, in the end, it is all back to the exploration of life and human nature!
