Chapter 29: Heart of the Ocean

If she hadn't come, Leila would never have imagined that the two great directors would be so approachable. Especially Cameron, who is also said to have the title of a tyrant on the set, sounds like he will have a big temper. But after getting along, I feel very cordial.

After the initial tension dissipated, she was finally able to ask some of the questions she wanted to ask in her previous life, including how the special effects film was made, and some of the small details in it.

When it comes to their own work, the two directors are very kind to communicate with her. "Independence Day", which will be released this year, and "Titanic", which will be released next year, are the topics they talk about.

"Details, absolutely details. Do your best, and don't let something messy fill your work, it's no different from polluting your soul!" Cameron gave his own sonorous answer when asked what he needed most attention.

Leila had long heard that he had discarded a prop and re-ordered it because it didn't have the pattern it should have been printed on it, and that alone had lost a lot of it. To say that this boss is really the kind of film company that loves and hates, the movies he makes can make a lot of money, but he can also scare people into blackness when he burns money.

However, because his ability to attract money is also excellent, even if he burns a lot of money, there are still film companies that are willing to invest in him to come to him.

In a capitalist society, money is everything. It can turn all reasonable or irrational ideas into reality.

When asked what to do when he encounters a bottleneck, Roland's answer is more formal: "Expand your imagination and don't be imprisoned by your own thoughts." There's nothing you have to do in a movie, so why do you have to shoot it like this? Why can't you shoot it that way? Why does the storyline develop like this, why can't it develop like that? When you hit a bottleneck, it's more rewarding to go back and watch it again. ”

Why was Independence Day 300 million in North America and 800 million in the world in 1996? Because it was a precedent.

Although the storyline may still have some personal heroism, it destroys the White House, destroys the iconic buildings of various countries, creates an image of an alien who will invade, and shows the common desire of humanity for peace in the face of crisis.

Janet looked at her serious daughter, and then at the so-called celebrities around her, and felt a burst of pride in her heart. Look at how good her daughter is! The first movie won two weeks of championship and broke 100 million yuan at the box office, and the movie was screened abroad. She is only eighteen years old, how can other people's children compare to her!

It didn't take long for the charity auction to finally begin.

Laila returned to her mother's side with reluctance, eager to go back now and record what she had just heard. That's a precious experience! It's a proverb she couldn't even think of in her previous life.

Now she finally understands why so many people like to socialize, friends are made, and more contact is possible to broaden the network. The more people know, the more natural their horizons will be opened, and the benefits that come with it cannot be measured by money.

"Honey, let me know if you see something you like, and I'm going to shoot it as a gift to celebrate the success of your first film!" Janet clapped her on the arm and happily patted it.

How could Leila, who was kind enough of her mother, refuse, and she showed a playful smile that a girl would have: "That's great, I'm not welcome." ”

Janet liked her like this, and secretly decided to take it all down for her as long as her daughter liked it.

Most of the items in the auction were donated by those present, whether it was for charity or face problems, they would not give anything too bad, and even Janet and Leila each donated a piece of jewelry.

"The next lot is a jade bracelet from an ancient country in the East, where jade is spiritual and is said to help you even in times of crisis. Here, we thank the Honourable Mr. Dean Sarri. ”

The moderator gestured to a young man not far away, who smiled and raised his glass to the people watching him.

Each lot will have the same description so that everyone knows who donated it.

"That's the youngest son of the Surrey family, supposedly a little Casanova, and you remember to stay away from him!" said Janet, turning her daughter's head back, very solemnly.

Leila smiled, "I know, Mommy. It seems that her mother was so angry with her cheap dad that she couldn't see the most affectionate saint-like character.

Turning her gaze back to the jade bracelet, she found that not many people were interested in it. It is not surprising that the interest in jade abroad is far less than that in China, and the jade bracelets with floating flowers obviously do not meet the aesthetics of these people.

Seeing that no one was filming, Leila raised her hand.

The host, who thought it was going to be unsuccessful, hurriedly said: "Miss Moran paid 10,000, is there more?"

Janet was shocked, this kid couldn't really be attracted to Dean, could he? Why else would she shoot that bracelet! She didn't know she was interested in that kind of thing!

"Lyra, you're ......"

"That jade bracelet is pretty, isn't it?" Layla smiled back, inadvertently glancing at the previous owner of the jade bracelet.

Janet's brows furrowed tightly, she didn't want her daughter to be glued by that kind of man, and she would leave directly after a while!

After shouting a few more times, Leila finally took the bracelet for $20,000. It was a little surprising for her to win the jade jade bracelet with floating flowers at this price, you must know that such a bracelet can at least be fried to hundreds of thousands or even millions in later generations.

Choosing a big bargain made her feel good, but unfortunately her smile became a dangerous message in Janet's eyes, and it also strengthened her determination to take someone away in advance.

After a few more auctions, the host said, "Guys, the next lot is the 'Heart of the Ocean' donated by Mr. James Cameron." ”

Laila, who was drinking a drink, almost choked, the heart of the ocean?

She looked over to the presenter and saw him introduce a necklace worn around the neck of a model.

Large blue gemstones hang silently on the model's white chest, illuminated by the light.

"This is an important prop in Mr. Cameron's upcoming movie 'Titanic' next year. The reserve price is $100,000, and each bid is not less than $10,000. ”

The host didn't introduce the necklace too much, maybe he also felt that it was not a real diamond, at most it was just a commemorative significance, anyway, the reserve price of 100,000 yuan anyone could guess that it was not a real diamond.

But what others don't know doesn't mean that Leila doesn't know, although it is not a diamond but a gemstone called tanzanite, but when the big ship of the Titanic sparks the global box office, the now inconspicuous tanzanite will be among the high-end gemstones!

Not to mention that it also plays such an important role in the movie, and that alone guarantees its unique preciousness.
