A woman, especially a woman who works hard in the entertainment industry, even if she is not extremely forward-looking, she still has the sensitivity to be a woman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Maybe it's because of the surprise that Fu Zhengyi showed before, maybe it's because of the excitement he showed after seeing the film crew of "Titanic", maybe it's because of his status as the executive director of [Dream Media] head office, maybe it's because of the contract of "Shrek", in short, Cameron Diaz feels that he has lost the opportunity to participate in the movie "Titanic" for no reason, and he is likely to regret it!

Cameron Diaz, a typical tomboy in the United States, has a cheerful personality and even a little arrogant, in Fu Zhengyi's view, she is a 'silly big sister' type girl, not a derogatory, but a kind ridicule, so when she cautiously asked her opinion on the movie "Titanic", he also noticed that the other party's mentality seemed to have changed.

"A big production of more than 200 million US dollars, if you miss it, you really miss it! Isn't it that the bigger the scene and the higher the investment amount, the more room the actors can play?"

Fu Zhengyi's rhetorical question made Cameron Diaz's eyes widen and he was a little surprised. The amount of investment is not absolutely positively correlated with the quality of the film, and the Oscars have awarded many low-budget small productions, creativity, actors' performances, and cinematographers' angles...... The success of a film is not entirely dependent on the amount of investment......"

Lying on the railing, Fu Zhengyi saw that the crew members of "Titanic" began to disperse after entering, and James Cameron, who is also a screenwriter, director, and producer, took Winslet, the actor of Xiao Li and Rose, and hurriedly walked to the small exhibition hall on the west side of the venue.

Retracting his gaze, Fu Zhengyi realized that Cameron Diaz was still waiting, and said sorry and asked her repeatedly. "The problem is that big productions always have more chances of winning awards than small ones, doesn't it?"

Cameron Diaz breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled. "A big production of more than 200 million US dollars, if it is used to make some low-budget productions, it is enough to make dozens of movies, and I still think that low-budget works have a high chance of winning awards! Have you forgotten the "Future Water World" that Universal shot before? If it weren't for Universal's deep pockets, if it were not replaced by other companies, it would have gone bankrupt directly......

Thinking about everything about the movie "Titanic" in his mind, Fu Zhengyi didn't care too much about what Cameron Diaz said, and when he saw that Shirley Lansing, chairman of Paramount Pictures Group, accompanied by his assistant, also entered the small exhibition hall on the west side of the venue, he pointed there and asked. "By the way, do you know what the little showroom over there is for?"

Cameron Diaz looked in the direction Fu Zhengyi was pointing and replied directly. "That's a Paramount showroom, and every film company has a small showroom for display......

Fu Zhengyi continued to ask. "Do I need permission if I want to go in?"

"Allowed? No, these exhibition halls are hung with promotional posters of major film companies, which are used by major film companies to show their development history and company strength......"

Fu Zhengyi nodded and continued to ask. "By the way, I remember you just mentioned that the crew members of "Titanic" live in a small hotel, is it possible that their crew's funds are so tight?"

"Yes, it has already spread in Hollywood, James Cameron said that he was willing to give up his $8 million remuneration for making this film in exchange for Paramount's continued additional investment, but Paramount wanted the film to be released early to reduce the risk, so it is said that the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel......"

Fu Zhengyi was surprised. "Isn't it? This kind of thing has reached the level of being heard in the streets?"

"It's an exaggeration to say that everyone in Hollywood already knows that. But if there is anyone in the producer's circle who doesn't know, it's really unusual!"

Cameron Diaz's statement was very interesting, Fu Zhengyi laughed, continued to chat a few words, and when she left, Fu Zhengyi called Ran Ying, who was staying with the photographer, over and borrowed her notebook and pen, explained that she was staring at the situation in the small exhibition hall on the west side, and then lay on the guardrail and began to recall some details in "Titanic".

With the movie "Titanic", James Cameron won a high honor, and also established his respected status in the global film industry in one fell swoop, and even won him the title of "global film history box office record maker", and more than ten years later, with "Avatar" broke his previous box office record, which can be called a legend!

But it is precisely because of this that the die-hard fans of "Titanic" insisted on the attitude of "picking bones in the egg", and really found out some mistakes in this movie that are not easy to detect.

After more than ten minutes, Fu Zhengyi, who couldn't think of anything anymore, took Ran Ying and the photographer downstairs, walked through a somewhat crowded crowd, and came to the small exhibition hall belonging to Paramount Pictures.

Shirley Lansing, chairman of Paramount Pictures, was communicating, while James Cameron was sitting in the corner with a dejected face, Xiao Lizi standing behind him pursed his lips and looked serious, and Rose's actor Winslet was helpless.

Fu Zhengyi walked over quickly and greeted James Cameron. "Hey, are you James Cameron, the producer who filmed True Lies and Titanic?"

James Cameron looked up and saw that Fu Zhengyi had an Oriental face, but he still stood up and shook hands with Fu Zhengyi.

The other party's attitude was not friendly, and the impatience in his expression was also a little obvious, but Fu Zhengyi took out his notebook as if he didn't know, turned to the page he had written before, and spoke. "Oh, I'm sorry that your Titanic didn't make it to the end of June, but I have a few questions. The first is that the male protagonist of the movie, Jack, mentioned that he fished in Lake Visota, but the problem is that Lake Visota is a man-made lake that was not built until 1917. The Titanic sank in 1912, is this arrangement deliberate, or is the screenwriter not aware of the situation at Lake Visota?"

James Cameron was stunned, turned his face and asked Leonardo. "Do you remember that line?"

Leonardo frowned, and Winslet, who was standing beside him, affirmed with surprise on his face. "Yes! I remember it very well! That's one of the ...... Jack mentioned when he told himself."

The first question was affirmed, Fu Zhengyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and continued. "The second question, Jack said that he would take Rose to Santa Monica Pier to ride the roller coaster, but the problem is that the roller coaster project of Santa Monica Pier was only built in 1916, could it be that Jack went back in time in a time machine and boarded the Titanic specifically to rescue Rose?"

The first question had already stunned James Cameron, but when Fu Zhengyi's second question came out, he saw that Leonardo and Winslet were extremely surprised, but he immediately lost his voice and shouted. "How do you know so well the dialogue in the film, who gave you the script, who are you?"

"Ah, I'm the executive director of [Dream Media] head office, and I'm more interested in the movie "Titanic" and the history of that year......"

Speaking of which, Fu Zhengyi understood that James Cameron's curiosity had been completely aroused, so he said with a dissatisfied face. "The last question, the hairstyle of the actor Jack before boarding the ship and his backpack, both became popular after 1930, I don't really understand why this film with such a large investment is so sloppy in terms of such details, any viewer who knows anything about that period of history, I think these problems will be discovered, and then dissatisfied with the lack of rigor of the film......"

Before Fu Zhengyi finished speaking, James Cameron was completely stunned.

Leonardo, who also had a black face, said very angrily. "Mr. Fu, there will be all kinds of flaws in any movie, is it too arbitrary to say that a movie will be ruined because of such flaws?"

"Ah, I'm not saying that a movie will really be ruined because of these flaws, I just think that with James Cameron's fame and status, such flaws are best dealt with properly before the movie is released, and the more perfection you pursue, the more you can create a classic ......."

Leonardo was so anxious that he whispered in front of James Cameron. "James, whether it's a backpack or a hairstyle, once you change the whole movie, you need to remake it!"

James Cameron, who was pursing his lips tightly in contemplation, sighed after a long time as if he hadn't heard Leonardo say it. "There is no way to change the hairstyle, but the problem with the backpack is a little simpler...... But I don't remember much about Lake Visota and Santa Monica Pier mentioned in the previous dialogue......"

Winslet glared at Fu Zhengyi with great indignation, and leaned into James Cameron's ear and whispered. "A small flaw doesn't affect the ...... of the whole movie"

"No, no, no, if you find a problem, you have to fix it! Even if you postpone the release for another month, you have to make up for it! I must not allow this kind of low-level and very stupid mistake in this film......"

Before James Cameron could finish speaking, Shirley Lansing, chairman of Paramount Pictures Group, who had come over at some point, asked in amazement. "James? What are you talking about? Did I hear it wrong or did you say it wrong? Do you want an extension?" )
