Last time at the charity party, through the introduction of her mother, Leila had a pleasant conversation with director James Cameron, even for the sake of her mother's face, I believe that her request should not be refused.

Turning on her phone, she found the Cameron number she had previously recorded and dialed it.

Things went as smoothly as she thought, and the director, who had a "tyrant on the set", not only kindly handed her the phone number of the director of the special effects company, but also made an appointment to take her to the company in person.

This makes Leila very happy, and it is very meaningful for her to see first-hand the digital field of work, one of Hollywood's four major special effects companies. The first time she worked with a real special effects company, it was a rare experience for the special effects blockbuster she planned to make in the future.

I made an appointment with Director Cameron two days later, and it happened that he was going there to accompany her on a tour and introduce the company.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Leila arrived at the agreed place five minutes early, and before she got out of the car, she heard Cameron's roaring roar coming in from outside.

"Not enough, not enough, I need at least 20 million to do it. I don't want the director's salary, anyway, you must give me another 20 million! Yes! Just before tomorrow! I'm not kidding you...... Next month? It's definitely not going to be better, so don't think about it. If you can't shell out another 20 million, you won't be able to make movies next year! Do you think movies are so good?...... What? I'm spending too much, I'm wasting it? Somebody wants to replace me? You can try it! Which director can take over my job? Or are you planning to give up the film? Don't forget, that's over $100 million...... What? 200 million? Isn't it yet here?"

Cameron's words made Leila, who was sitting in the car, chuckle. In her previous life, she had heard that there were many troubles in the production of the Titanic, but she didn't expect that she would be able to see it with her own eyes.

She pushed the car door open and walked out, just in time to see Cameron angrily hang up the phone.

Seeing her, the great director sighed a little tiredly: "People all over the world think that directing is a glorious profession, who can see the hard work behind us?"

Lyla remembered the heavy work she had to do while making the movie, and nodded with feeling, "Did the movie run into some trouble?"

"Forget it, don't mention it, it's angry when you mention it. Cameron brushed his hair with his hand to calm the anger in his heart: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the company's situation." ”

Founded in 1993, Digital has helped produce special effects for many famous classic films. For example, Titanic, The Fifth Element, Night Vampire, and later Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, 2012 and Avatar, etc., which were not released at this time.

Their strength is undoubted, otherwise they would not have developed into one of the world's four major special effects companies in the future.

And to be able to shoot the Titanic so wonderfully, I won't worry about not being able to achieve the effect that Leila wants because I haven't mastered advanced technology.

In fact, the Grim Reaper is a movie produced in 2000, and the shooting methods and special effects at that time will definitely be much more mature and advanced than now. Leila didn't want to make the film, which was supposed to leave a classic impression in film history, a bad joke just because she made the movie a few years earlier.

During the company tour, Cameron was only with him for a while before he was called off to work, and before he left, he specially called a staff member to take Leila around and discuss his new job in his place.

The special effects of a film are not carried out after all the shots are taken, but start during or even before the shooting. It may take many days to make in what seems like a few seconds, which means that the production cycle will be long.

Generally speaking, during the filming of the film, the special effects company will produce relevant special effects according to the needs of the director.

Lyra's name is Dewey Cook, who is the director of a special effects team. Accompanied by him, she visited and appreciated the production process and effects of the Titanic.

Although she had seen many more and more gorgeous special effects pictures in her previous life, she was still shocked by the shot of the big ship breaking in two. This is the power of classics, even if time passes, it can't wash away the charm of classic films.

After walking around, Layla told Dewey what she wanted after giving the script and storyboard: "I'm sure the footage of the plane exploding in mid-air, and some other places, shouldn't be hard for you." ”

Dewey smiled and nodded after reading the script: "Yes, I think we will make the picture you need, but there may be a delay in time." As you can see, we're mainly working on the last few pieces of the Titanic, which might be done by July if the funds are sufficient. If there is no funding, it may be that we will drag it until the end of the year. ”

"No problem. Leila knew that the final release date of the Titanic in her previous life was this year, so she was more confident than the other side, and she also knew that director Cameron would definitely get the money. "My film won't start shooting until next month, the shooting period is tentatively set at two months, and the expected release time is scheduled for next year, so you have plenty of time to make it. ”

"That's fine. Dewey stood up and shook her hand, and said with a smile, "I think we'll have a great time working together, director Moran." ”

"Nice to work with, Mr. Cook. Leila smiled back.

Declining the invitation to dinner, she came out of the digital realm with half of the sky dyed red by the evening sunset.

She was also very happy to be able to talk so smoothly, and was about to call back to the company to ask Louise about the situation, when she suddenly received an unexpected phone call.

"Hello, Elena. ”

"You, hello, Miss Leila. "The voice on the other side of the phone was a little weak, obviously caused by extreme nervousness.

Leila smiled, "Is the work going well?"

"Yes, thanks to you. Elena took a deep breath and pressed her hand on her heart, as if that would bring down her pounding heart. "I want to thank you. ”

"Is there anything to thank me?" Leila chuckled.

"When, of course, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been selected to be a model for the brochure. Because of your photos, I now get a lot of jobs that I couldn't have imagined before. It's just that I haven't had the courage to say thank you in person, so I've been delaying it until today. ”

Leila hooked the corners of her lips, "You don't need to thank me. Your success has a lot to do with you. I chose you because you have a very charming and bright smile, and a body that can put Moran in style. If you want to say thank you, my mother should say thank you. She's going to be so successful with those pictures of yours, isn't she?"
