Cameron had a strong argument with the producer of "Titanic" and jumped into the sea. ”

The "Titanic" project got out of control, Eric Williams went to Rosarito in person, and Cameron was overwhelmed by the pressure and tried to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. ”

"Eric Williams and James Cameron Rosarrito had a physical altercation on the set, pushing each other into the sea, and the "Titanic" project may be completely stranded. ”

“……”

In the following days, the incident of Cameron jumping into the sea in the American media became more and more outrageous, and the clarification of the public relations department of the Firefly Group did not curb the rapid spread of the rumors, and more and more media reporters began to converge on Rosarrito, Mexico.

In desperation, Eric simply asked ABC TV to send reporters to the set to record some of the crew's usual shooting tidbits, although the spread of rumors was not completely suppressed, but those extremely absurd remarks were also self-defeating after the relevant video was played.

The day after Eric arrived in Rosarito, Stan Winston, the CEO of the digital sector, arrived and began discussing the post-production of the film.

Because "Titanic" will use a lot of very new special effects production methods, according to the development ideas determined by Eric when he established the digital field, these new special effects technologies will be specially sorted out, and possibly patented. Although many of the special effects techniques were created by Cameron's whimsy, Cameron, who was completely immersed in the film after getting Eric's ample budget support, did not care about these at all.

It's another morning of shooting, and by this time Eric has been on the set of Rosarito for five days, without the oppressive atmosphere of tight budgets, and although Cameron still occasionally acts a little irritable, the aura that seems to be on the verge of exploding at any time is completely gone, and the interpersonal relationship between the crew from top to bottom is much more harmonious.

At lunchtime, Eric was eating in the restaurant with Cameron and the others, and Jon Landau walked in hurriedly.

After finishing dinner and sitting down at Eric's table, Jon Landau said to Eric, "Eric, are you going back in the afternoon?"

"yes, this is almost the end of the matter here, and I can't help if I stay here. ”

Jon Landau nodded, hesitated for a moment, and reminded, "I think you'd better be careful when you go back." ”

"Huh?" said Eric, looking up confusedly.

Jon Landau said: "I've heard that there have been several robberies of journalists out there recently, and there were even two unlucky guys who had their ribs broken, you know, and their professional equipment was very expensive. Also, I just had a chat with Victor, who is in charge of security on the set, and he said that there have been a few more unknown people around the set lately. So, you know. ”

Eric nodded earnestly, he was well aware of the security situation in Mexico, a country with only more than 100,000 regular troops, but the number of illegal armed forces, led by drug dealers, was not much less than that of the regular army. In the next few years, as law and order deteriorates further, Mexico will even be classified by the United Nations as a 'state of war' on the same level as Somalia and Yugoslavia. Coupled with the proximity of Rosarrito to the Mexican-US border, the security situation in the neighborhood is even worse. At the suggestion of the security team, Eric has not stepped out of the set in the past few days when he arrived in Mexico.

When Cameron heard Jon Landau's words, he said with the same solemn face: "Eric, it's really not good, you can go back by helicopter, well, although it is a little troublesome, it must be safer." ”

Mexico is not as good as the United States, helicopters are basically in the hands of the government department, it is difficult for ordinary people to get permission to fly, Eric listened, shook his head with a smile, and said: "There is no need to be so excited, there is only a distance of 30 kilometers from here to the border, the car is faster, it will take half an hour, and the helicopter may not be as safe as my convoy." ”

Eric this is not arrogant, the twenty-three bodyguards who came with him this time are basically former marines with rich combat experience, although the five SUV off-road vehicles he took when he came were not as complete as the president's car, but they were not inferior to the other party in terms of safety protection, as long as they did not encounter a frenzied heavy fire attack, even if they were temporarily trapped, they could rely on the protection of the carriage to wait for help.

After lunch and a little more chatting, Eric said goodbye to everyone and left the Rosarrito set with his female assistant in the car.

It was still a highway along the coast of Lower California, and after the vehicle situation stabilized, Eric looked down at the latest version of the script of "007: Casino Royale" from Los Angeles, and Kelly, who was sitting next to him, inadvertently caught a glimpse of a few small tails in the rearview mirror behind the convoy, remembering Jon Landau's reminder at the restaurant at noon, patted Eric uneasily, and pointed to the rear.

Before Eric could reply, Carter Moen, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, said, "It's okay, Ms. Haynes, it's the reporter's car, they might have to go back with us." ”

"Oh, I see," Kelly smiled, a little embarrassed by her suspicions.

The convoy passed through the small town of Rosarito and continued to move forward, Eric read a few pages of the script, raised his head and moved his neck, chatted with Kelly for a few words, and was about to bow his head to continue reading the script, Carter Moen in the front row suddenly pressed his headphones, whispered a few words in a hurried tone, and then turned his head and said, "Eric, there may be something going on in front of you." ”

Eric looked up confused, "Huh?"

Kelly sensitively grabbed Eric's sleeve with a nervous look on her face.

"A container truck was parked about a kilometre in front of it, blocking its way," Carter Moen explained, adding, "It's a very old-fashioned approach. ”

Eric looked out the window, and although it was a four-lane highway, there was a barrier made of cement piers in the middle of the road, and a container truck could almost block half of the lane.

Eric knew that he didn't have much time to panic in ink, so he didn't hesitate, and said in a calm and decisive tone: "I don't understand this, you can deal with it." ”

Carter Moen nodded, instructed the two of them to buckle up, and quickly deployed the headset as he pulled out a pistol from the storage compartment and handed it to the driver next to him, then took out a semi-automatic rifle and fiddled with it.

Eric took a deep breath, noticed the nervous look on Kelly beside him, patted her on the shoulder, and reassured, "Don't worry, it's okay." Even if there is any trouble, someone on the other side of the border will come within ten minutes. ”

"Well," Kelly said calmly, holding Eric's hand, but the other hand reached into her bag, touched the phone, and thought about it before realizing that the phone couldn't make calls in Mexico, so she had to give up.

In the midst of a brief conversation, the entire convoy sped up suddenly, and after a few seconds, Carter Moen turned around and ordered Eric, "Sit down, everybody." ”

Immediately, at the front of the convoy, there was a bang, and a loud bang was heard.
