Cameron saw that Eric, who was about to speak, suddenly turned his gaze to the screen again, and asked curiously, "Eric, what do you think?"

Eric retracted his thoughts and nodded, "A perfect work, Jim, I just think there are some minor flaws at the end of the film." ”

Eric didn't raise the issue of the length of the film at the first time, Cameron was a little relieved, and said: "Do you mean that Rose dreamed of the plot of the Titanic? If I remember correctly, this plot was added at your suggestion, and I think the effect is pretty good." ”

"No, it's not this one," Eric shook his head, "I mean the ending song, it's a good piece of pure music, but I'm always feeling a little monotonous." Perhaps, it would be better to change it to a song. Did you discuss this possibility when James scored the music?"

The James that Eric is talking about is James Horner, the soundtrack of "Titanic".

In my memory, "My Heart Is Forever" was a collaboration between James Horner and another composer. Eric doesn't know how Cameron and James Horner worked together in his previous life, because he learned that during the production of "Alien 2" in 1986, Cameron had a bad relationship with James Horner, who served as the soundtrack, because of his disagreement.

In order to keep "Titanic" as original as possible, this time it was Eric who personally invited James Horner to serve as the soundtrack of the film, and personally intervened to mediate for the two. Before filming of "Casino Royale" began, he had a meal with Cameron and James Horner at Preavista.

Cameron shook his head when he heard Eric's question, and said, "James did write a song, inspired by the plot of the last scene, called "In-My-Dreams", I think the lyrics don't fit the theme of the film, so I only used the pure music version, which is the ending song we just heard. ”

Eric instructed the projectionist to put aside the end of the credit, and asked Cameron for detailed lyrics, and finally just shook his head in disappointment, this song is indeed not as classic as "My Heart Lasts Forever".

In fact, writing songs is like writing poems and paintings, it takes inspiration, Eric should have thought from the beginning that the main body of the film "Titanic" could maintain the same style as the original under his influence, but when it comes to the ending song, under the influence of Eric's big butterfly, James Horner can no longer have the same inspiration as in his previous life.

The success of "Titanic" in the original time and space is due to the overall quality of the film, but although the reuse of "My Heart is Eternal" has not yet reached the level of the finishing touch, it is definitely a sublimation of "Titanic", and Eric does not plan to miss it.

After thinking about it, he said: "James shouldn't have been too busy lately, I just watched the film and it happened to have some inspiration, if he can come to Italy, maybe before the Venice Film Festival, we can make a good ending song together." ”

Cameron liked Eric's "New-Divide" very much, and he had seen the full tape of the first Victoria's Secret show, so he didn't doubt that Eric had the ability to write an ending song for "Titanic", but said: "Eric, if it's okay in Los Angeles, James is unlikely to come to Italy, he has already gone to score Edward Zwick's "Life and Death", speaking of which, if you are inspired, why not come yourself?"

Eric spread his hands and said, "It's not that you don't know what I've been doing lately, I may be able to come up with lyrics and songs, but I can't spare time for specific arrangement and recording work." ”

Cameron said: "Eric, although James can't just come over, but as long as you can come up with the lyrics, Europe is so big, you will definitely be able to find excellent musicians to help arrange the music, even if the effect is still not good, but the movie will not be released until the end of the year, and we still have enough time to revise it, right?"

"In that case, it shouldn't be too late for the Venice Film Festival, right?"

"Just surprise the audience," Cameron said, "and of course, it has to be good enough for you to write a tune." Otherwise I wouldn't have used it, and I don't want a bad song to ruin the whole movie. ”

In the end, Cameron's tone was habitually critical.

Eric narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, let's talk about the length." ”

Cameron could of course see that Eric was fighting back against what he had just said, but he almost jumped up and said, "Hey, Eric, you're not such a stingy person. ”

"Of course, so ......" Eric reached out and patted Cameron on the shoulder, seeing that his eyes widened and his expression was obviously raised, he stopped panting and said, "I don't think it will change for a minute, and it will be released according to this version." ”

"Haha, I know," Cameron suddenly turned to joy, and even wanted to say something a little carried away, but immediately stopped his mouth.

Cameron originally wanted to say that since this version was approved by you, it can't be blamed entirely on him because of the box office disappointment at that time. But he soon realized that if he really said such a thing, it would be too irresponsible, put away these thoughts, Cameron raised his fist and slapped it on Eric's shoulder, and said, "Eric, I recently took the time to read some Spider-Man comics, and I have some good ideas, well, what if...... When the time comes, if you still let me shoot, just ask. ”

"Either way, this project is yours, and we've negotiated it," Eric said, "or, I can get the contract from Los Angeles tomorrow." ”

Cameron was originally a man of temperament, remembering that since last year, Eric had maintained a supportive attitude towards him from beginning to end, and listening to these words at this time, he couldn't help but feel a feeling of death for his confidant, and said: "Eric, I can only promise you that I will do my best." ”

Eric is not good at talking to a big man, and seeing Cameron's true temperament, he said haha: "It's still early, why don't we go downstairs to the bar for a drink?"

Cameron also quickly put away his emotions, nodded freely, and said: "Of course, um, but I have to personally send the copy to the bank safe first, the copy in front of me is worth 215 million US dollars, if there is an accident, we may have to be busy in the past two years." ”

With that, the two got up together and left the screening room.

……

Cristina Aguilera has been in the cast for a week, she arrived in Italy on August 1, and the whole crew has more than 200 permanent employees and actors, living in several different hotels, not counting the more mobile extras. Because she was temporarily in the group, she was not placed in the same hotel as Eric, but across the street.

Christina's role in Venice is very small, the specific plot is that Angela Linde is kidnapped by the Spectres, bringing Venice to threaten her sister Visper Linde to hand over the huge sum, because she is only tied to a chair to prove to Visper Linde that her sister is still alive, and then she will be taken back to the United Kingdom, so she doesn't even have lines for the filming in Venice, and no one can take care of her.

However, because of the work cards of the crew members, although Eric only took the time to say hello to her in a hurry for a week, Christina was able to enter the filming set every day and stand on the periphery to watch Eric's filming.

Seeing more scenes where Eric commands the entire huge crew like a king, Christina also feels more and more insignificant, and it is inevitable that her little daughter will be adored in her heart.

At the end of another day's shooting, in the evening, Christina and her assistant Milia left the set early, found a restaurant to have dinner and discussed the gossip they had heard recently, although Milia was ten years older than Christina, she was full of words and chattered: " I heard that Pierce Brosnan was scolded by Mr. Williams again, it seems that he can't keep up with your sister's rhythm, and now many media in North America are still saying that your sister is not beautiful enough, but I think that in the future, many people will be surprised when the film is released. Well, I just don't know how Mr. Williams found such an actor, she didn't even have a film in Hollywood before. ”

Before the filming of the movie started, the news that Cate Blanchett was the new Bond Girl caused a lot of crazy discussion in the media. Most of the reviews felt that Cate Blanchett wasn't good enough to play the role of a vase like Bond Girl. Although Kate finally won a lot of support with her imposing professional girl makeup photos, the overall trend is still that she is not suitable for the role.

However, during the recent filming, Kate's role as Vesper Lind is very eye-catching, and in many cases can even completely suppress Pierce Brosnan's limelight.

After all, if this Bond Girl is just the same vase as before, it will be difficult for Pierce Brosnan to steal the limelight, but Vesper Lynd is a female character with a very distinct personality, so it also gives Kate's excellent talent and skillful acting skills a great platform to show.

This is a 007 movie after all, and although Eric wants Kate to be better, it is impossible for her to allow her to completely suppress Pierce Brosnan. So, while taking advantage of the situation to adjust Pierce Brosnan's acting skills, Eric also had to suppress Kate's acting skills a little.

Of course, although the news that the actor was suppressed was relatively tightly blocked, there was still a lot of news circulating, and it was an open secret within the crew. As for the news that circulated to the media, most of it was used as a publicity and public relations means for the crew, and it did not attract much attention.

Christina ate the ice cream with her spoon in her hands a little absent-mindedly, listened to Milia's words, and said, "Milia, don't always say things like 'my sister', it sounds strange, and I've only spoken to Miss Blanchett a few words." ”

"Hey, I'm helping you get into the show," Miria said, "Come to think of it, even Pierce Brosnan has been scolded, and if you don't behave well in the future, Mr. Williams won't be too polite." ”

Christina had already memorized her own thin pages of script, and she had also exchanged lines with Miria for I don't know how many times, and at this time she had completely blurted out. With a few years of acting experience at the Mickey Mouse Club, Christina is not so frightened, although she is a little worried about her performance at that time.

Eric ...... But a very kind person, I don't think he will scold me," Christina said with some uncertainty, the little girl had the fantasy of a little girl after all.

Although Miria seems to be a bit arrogant, she will never take the initiative to touch on certain sensitive topics, such as the relationship between her employer and Eric Williams.

So, listening to Christina's words, she didn't refute it, but with more experience than Christina, she knows very well that most Hollywood directors basically have two personalities on the set and in private.

No matter how gentlemanly they are in private, once they enter the state of directing, this group of people will often become harsh and manic, and the better the director, the more so.

Eric may be very gentle with Christina in private, but if Christina does not perform well during the filming and affects the filming progress of the crew, then the scolding is almost 100% certain, according to the gossip in the circle, when filming "Pretty Woman" a few years ago, Julia Roberts was scolded by Eric Williams more than once, and even faintly heard that she was scolded for something wrong.

After a while, Miria provoked a new topic and said, "Don't talk about this, well, you get up early tomorrow, I heard that there will be a blasting scene tomorrow morning, that scene must be very exciting, I haven't seen it yet." ”

Christina was about to answer when a man of about thirty years old walked in at the door of the restaurant, and the two girls looked at each other, vaguely remembering that the other person should be an assistant next to Eric.

Before they could react, the man had already walked towards the two of them: "Miss Aguilera, you are here, I have been looking for you for a while." ”

Christina quickly got up and asked, "Ah, is Eric looking for me?"

"Yes, oh, I'll introduce you, my name is Peter Rich," the other said, and after greeting Miria, he said, "Come with me, Mr. Williams is waiting for you." ”

"I, oh, okay," Christina was about to ask Eric what was going on with her, but when she saw that Peter Ritchie had turned and walked out, she dismissed her thoughts and hurried out.

Miria hurriedly paid the bill, picked up Christina's bag that she had forgotten in her seat, and followed. (To be continued.) )
