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

With Cameron's sincere cooperation, the filming went smoothly, and in more than half a month, most of the scenes on the Rosarrido set had been filmed.

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

Because the next scene is the core of the whole movie, and it is the soul that makes fans buy tickets to the cinema and are willing to shed tears.

Play in the water!

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

Even though a month's worth of filming was set aside, Donn wasn't sure it would go through. Cameron even believes that without 50 days of filming, it is impossible to complete this part of the scene.

Don sighed, he wasn't worried about that, but whether Kate Winslet could resist.

There are several parts of the water scene, and some are filmed in the swimming pool, which is very easy to do, just pour warm water directly into the small sink.

But most of the plays require a lot of water!

For example, the scene where seawater pours into the cabin requires at least three full containers of water, so where does the crew go to get so much warm water?

It's already October, and the temperature of the river is more than 20 degrees, and no one can stand soaking in cold water at this temperature for a long time! Especially the heroine "Ruth" has a lot of this kind of scene.

After thinking about it for a long time, Don decided to start simple and shoot in the swimming pool, the scene is a scene of "Jack" and "Ruth" floating on the icy sea after the big ship breaks, life and death parting.

This scene requires strong acting skills and soul collisions, bursting out in the icy waters like sparks of love that shake the mountains.

Good thing the pool is warm water.

……

"Jack, I love you!"

"Don't do that, no goodbye. Keep it up, you know?"

"I'm cold. ”

"Ruth, you will be able to get out of danger, you will be able to have many children, watch them grow up, and then enjoy your old age in peace...... You're going to heaven in a warm, comfortable bed, not here, not tonight, not dying like me, you know?"

"I ...... My body is numb. ”

Hearing this, Don En sighed, "Stop! Let's get here first, and rest for ten minutes." ”

In the entire crew, the atmosphere is very serious.

Wearing a thick waterproof suit and carrying a camera wrapped in a waterproof suit on his shoulder, Don slowly climbed into the pool, looked at Cameron with a sad face, and shook his head.

This footage has been filmed for six hours!

According to Donn's understanding, it is best to have a stable long shot, fixed on this lover who is separated from life and death, with the most objective attitude, from the perspective of a bystander to examine the love of "Jack" and "Ruth", rather than mixing too many pattern edits.

Generally speaking, this is a common method used in European literary films to express sublimated themes.

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

That kind of cold and piercing feeling, the poignancy of parting from life and death, and the reluctance of heaven and man...... Whether it is Leonardo or Kate, the emotions are not well expressed.

"How are you, are you still done?"

Cameron walked over with a concerned look on his face.

Leonardo and Kate's performances are certainly hard, but director Donn is also hard!

He carried a twenty-pound video camera and accompanied the two of them to stand in the swimming pool, even if it was warm water, such a powerful load was enough to crush anyone.

Don shook his head, knowing what Cameron meant by being able to help shoot in the water, but he had to refuse, his expression was firm, "If I can't hold on as a director, how can I ask my actors?"

Cameron patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly, "Don, that's a good point!"

……

"I'm numb. ”

"Win a ticket...... It's the luckiest thing in my life that made me know you, and it's really an honor...... It's an honor. Ruth, you must promise me, promise me to live, you can't give up...... No matter what happens, no matter what the circumstances, Ruth, promise me, promise me......"

"I promise you. ”

"Don't forget ......"

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

“CUT！”

Tang En's face was not good-looking, and his tone was a little heavy, "Leon, you have to remember that you are dying, every word you say is the last sentence in your life, you have to show the solemnity and sacredness of your life when you are dying, but you are simply weak, this performance is too superficial!"

Leonardo was ashamed, "I'm sorry, Donn, I'll try to understand." ”

"Kate, remember what I said, you have to express your emotions as complex as possible, you have to have fear, you have to have sadness, and you have to work hard to live and fulfill Jack's firm faith!

It was the first time that Donn had spoken such heavy words to her, and Kate Winslet bit her lip tightly and refused to say anything.

"Forget it, go ashore. Donn paused and turned his head, "I'm sorry, Kate, I'll take back what I said just now, don't take it to heart." ”

Kate barely managed to squeeze out a smile, which was ugly.

Once ashore, Donn announced an important decision to everyone, "Get the sink on the west side ready, and in half an hour, we'll go there!"

"Huh? Isn't this set of shots filmed?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows, "Who said you won't shoot?"

"You didn't mean...... Donne, you're going to go into the cold water to shoot this set of shots!" an assistant director suddenly realized and exclaimed.

Don nodded heavily, "That's exactly what I thought. This shot is very important, it is the sublimation of the soul of the whole movie, and we have to be perfect!"

Some unimportant literary dramas, in order to catch up with the schedule, have to get by.

But with such an important shot, there must be no mistakes!

When Leonardo and Kate heard the news, they both fell silent for a moment, and their eyes showed a kind of fear.

Filming in warm water, they have had enough, if it is cold water......

I can't imagine!

……

Jon Landau was sent to the New York set by Grant Hill, and naturally became the top leader here.

The New York set was predominantly shot on a green screen, with a scheduled shooting period of 15 days.

At this time, Jon Landau and his henchman Raymond were in the office, quietly discussing something.

"We've already made contact, whether the wire breaks or the induction fails, in short, we've conceived more than a dozen plans to create obstacles for that kid. ”

Raymond's left eye blinked a few times in succession, and the corners of his mouth twinked with a grim smile.

Jon Landau knocked rhythmically on the table with one hand, "You personally control this matter, you must be foolproof, don't be stingy with hush money, this time, I must teach him a profound lesson!"

As he spoke, Jon Landau was a little angry.

When he was in the studio in Los Angeles, Don's kid scolded himself in front of everyone in the crew, did he really think he was a director?

Raymond smiled, "Don't worry, I promise to give that kid a memory to remember for a lifetime." ”

Just then, Jon Landau's agent called.

"Jon, something is wrong!" the agent's voice was urgent.

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

The agent held back his anger and said, "Fox Film just notified me that it has terminated its employment contract with you!"

"What?" Jon Landau's face changed and he stood up suddenly, "It can't be, there's no reason for them to do this!"

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

"What's wrong?"

Jon Landau was a little weak-hearted.

Homo economicus: "said the folks at Fox...... Say that you have seriously affected the filming of the movie, and you have notified the lawyer, and the contract will be terminated immediately. ”

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

He wanted to create difficulties for Donn's shooting, slow down his filming schedule, and make the film unable to be released in the summer next year, in order to undermine the confidence of Fox Films' executives in Donn.

However, that is only an idea, not yet a reality!

"It's impossible, they don't have proof, it's slander!" Jon Landau was convinced that his plan would not be known to the people of Fox.

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

"They can't do that!" Jon Landau couldn't help but exclaim, "I haven't done anything, they don't have evidence!

The agent was helpless, "Jon, have you forgotten the contents of the contract?"

"Huh?"

"Fox signed a contract with you. The fixed budget of "Titanic" is 85 million US dollars, and no more than 10% of the fluctuation is allowed. Fox Film reserves the right to terminate the contract at any time if the budget is significantly exceeded. ”

Jon Landau was dumbfounded!

He really didn't expect that Fox Films would come to the bottom of the kettle!

It's just that...... 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 terminate the contract directly like a tearing face.

No, there must have been something going on here that he didn't know!

Jon Landau was not stupid, and groaned slightly, "What about Jamie?

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

Jon Landau's mind "buzzed", and suddenly there was a feeling that the world was spinning.

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

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

Someone is deliberately targeting themselves!

Could it be Donn Walker?

Jon Landau's body was cold, he had a conflict with Donn, but Don ...... It's impossible to be so narrow-minded as to put direct pressure on the top of Fox to fire yourself in a tough stance, right?

"Paul, there is something strange in this matter, you can help me find out!"

Jon Landau couldn't tell the bitterness.

He's also interested in designing, and he's going to pit Don Walker. Unexpectedly, he received a termination contract when he turned around.

Why is that?

Jon Landau, want to cry without tears.
