There was a pop, and the faint sound of falling into the water came, and the crowd suddenly woke up and rushed towards the side of the boat.
Seeing the director jump into the sea, without waiting for others' orders, several staff members who were originally hanging on the mechanical arm outside the deck slipped down the safety rope.
There were hundreds of people at the scene, and Eric was not worried about Cameron's safety, but he couldn't cry or laugh, and jumped into the sea without saying a word, what is it.
Walking to the side of the boat, Eric leaned on the guardrail and looked down, where Cameron in the water had grabbed the safety rope and was slowly being hoisted up with the help of several other people.
William Stewart, who was originally frightened and pale, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Cameron was safe and sound, and then noticed that Eric was standing not far from him, thinking of the situation just now, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Eric, I ......"
Eric nodded at William Stewart and reassured, "It's okay, William, I just saw it all, it's not your fault." β
Hearing Eric's words, William Stewart relieved his heart, remembered what had happened in the recent days, and felt a little sad from it, and was about to complain to Eric about a few words of bitterness, Cameron had already jumped on the deck.
Cameron, who still seemed to want to compete with William Stewart, saw Eric appear, and the vicious momentum suddenly dissipated, completely ignoring his wet appearance, he pounced enthusiastically, and gave Eric a hug, and said: "Eric, you came just in time, um......" looked left and right, and noticed that everyone was looking at him with strange faces, Cameron roared: "What are you doing here, don't you need to work?" β
The corners of Eric's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand at everyone, and everyone immediately dispersed and returned to their jobs.
Cameron ignored these small details, pulled Eric to the bow of the boat, and called Leonardo and Rachel, danced and ordered the two to pose, and said: "Eric, imagine that Jack and Ross are standing on the bow of the Titanic, in the endless sea, under the magnificent sunset, facing the hunting sea breeze, hugging and kissing, what a beautiful picture it will be. To achieve this, it is necessary to install a tower crane ......"
At the end of the talk, Cameron leaned on the side of the ship and raised one arm high and moved slowly, as if he were the imaginary tower crane.
Eric patiently listened to Cameron's obviously somewhat fazed narration, and finally asked, "Jim, is it too time-consuming to install a tower crane and can't you use a helicopter?" β
Cameron immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, the helicopter is too unstable, it must be a tower crane." β
Eric leaned on the side of the ship, looked up at the sky, recalled the scene in his memory, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Okay, Jim, you should know why I suddenly appeared here, now everyone is saying that "Titanic" has gotten out of control, do you feel this way in your heart?" β
A slight embarrassment finally flashed across Cameron's face, but then he said, "Eric, I know that this film may not be completed on time, but it is definitely not out of control, and I have absolutely no idea what I am doing." Well, it's just that the budget will be a little over, I think, the problem of money will not be a problem for you, the last thing you lack now should be money. β
Eric looked at the appearance of Director Cameron's waistcoat dripping straight down, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "You better go and change your clothes first, and give me some time to think about how to refute you." β
Cameron seemed to realize something, smirked, and said to Jon Landau next to him, "Jon, you go call now and ask them to prepare things as soon as possible." β
With that, Cameron waved at Eric and walked briskly towards the gangway.
Looking at Cameron's back, and when his figure disappeared, Jon Landau and William Stewart looked at Eric together, their eyes inquiring.
Eric nodded and said, "Just do what Jim envisioned." β
William Stewart still had a worried look on his face and said, "But, Eric, this will take at least two days of delay, and many of the original shooting plans will be disrupted. β
"It's already messy, and any more chaos won't affect anything," Eric said, looking at William Stewart, and said, "William, don't worry, this project is my personal willfulness, no matter what the outcome of the future is, it will not have any impact on you." β
Eric said so, and William Stewart, of course, no longer refuted it, his biggest concern was the budget overrun and box office fiasco of "Titanic", and according to tradition, once this happens, he, the producer, may be fired. Since Eric had made such a promise at this time, of course he would not continue to dwell on anything without interest.
After sending Jon Landau and William Stewart to prepare, Eric was able to greet the hero and heroine who had been on the side: "Leon, Rachel, how does it feel to work with Jim?" β
Leonardo smiled a little reservedly, Rachel Weisz had a few relationships with Eric, but he was not so restrained, came to Eric's side, leaned against the guardrail together, and said, "Jim is usually quite kind, but he is too easy to get angry. β
Rachel said, glancing at Kelly who was standing not far away, and asked, "Eric, didn't Caroline come with you?" β
"No, I'll bring her with me next time."
"Oh," Rachel nodded in a frustrated tone, she had been here for months in order to make this film, and she hadn't even returned for Christmas, plus a director who could have exploded at any moment, and if it weren't for her naturally strong character, many times, she would have even given up.
Eric could almost understand Rachel's emotions and comforted: "Work hard, come over this time, maybe in the future, you will be a big star that even the director has to coax carefully." β
Rachel smiled and said, "Hehe, as long as I don't meet a director like Jim again." β
As soon as Rachel mentioned Cameron, the familiar figure at the gangway ran over in a hurry: "Hey, Eric, this is definitely the only way to shoot this morning, come with me, I'll take you to see the results of the recent shooting." β
Eric nodded, said goodbye to Rachel and Leonardo, and immediately went to the deck with Cameron to the simple post-production studio on the set.
In the original time and space, many ordinary people often have doubts in their hearts about it being a special effects blockbuster after seeing it, because many people have the impression that the scenery in the movie is basically something that exists in reality, and compared with standard special effects blockbusters such as "Jurassic Park", "Star Wars", and "Men in Black", there seems to be no "special effects" scene in "Titanic".
But the truth is not the case at all, in the whole movie, from the starry sky at night to the heat spewing out of people's mouths, they are basically composed of special effects technology or special effects lenses, and compared with the aliens and spaceships that do not exist in reality, it is more difficult to present the real things in reality in the form of CG special effects, because as long as the scenes such as aliens and spaceships are made in a rough appearance, people can't tell the truth from the fake, because no one has seen it in reality. But if the real scene is not done in detail enough, it is easy to be distinguished.
Because of the need to temporarily install Cameron's tower crane, it was impossible to reschedule the shooting schedule for the remaining hour in the morning, so Eric was pulled by Cameron to the post-production studio to check that he had recently completed the footage.
Except for a small part of the footage that is completely live-action, most of the footage can be seen in the green screen, and even a shot planned in the luxury first-class cabin of the Titanic, except for the detailed arrangement of tables, chairs, benches, tableware, etc., all around are surrounded by green screens.
"Eric, I promise you that as long as I don't have financial constraints, I can shoot it all in three months, and I can do all the post-production work at the same time, and I can subcontract some small special effects work except for the main scenes, and Jon has recently started contacting the special effects studio. Um, and also, a strong render farm in the digital realm can also significantly shorten the post-production schedule for special effects, and probably, um, I can guarantee that everything will be done by August. β
At lunchtime, chatting about the production progress of the movie, Cameron once again swore that anyway, well, swear or something, and don't want money, after feeling Eric's support for the project, Cameron's undisciplined promise almost came out of his mouth, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Jon Landau, William Stewart, and even Rachel and others around him.
Eric cut the steak in front of him with a smile on his face, and said to Cameron: "In August, the summer file must be out of drama, I just hope you don't delay the movie until the end of the year and can't finish it, Jim, this is definitely my bottom line, you know, fireflies are not just me." β
"Of course," Cameron nodded at once, then at William Stewart, who was sitting not far away, and said, "But, Eric, I have one condition. β
"Huh?"
"I don't think William needs to waste time here, Jon and a couple of other production assistants are pretty much enough."
Eric shook his head and said, "That's not going to work, Jim, William has to stay here. β
Just kidding, if you don't even have a little constraint, this guy in front of you won't be completely played. Although Eric supports the continuation of the film, he will definitely not let Cameron squander it completely without restraint, otherwise, it is estimated that 300 million US dollars will not be enough for him to spend.
Cameron didn't deliberately lower his voice, hearing the conversation between the two, William Stewart looked at Eric with hope in his eyes, although Cameron's idea of wanting to get rid of him was very unpleasant, but if possible, he definitely didn't want to stay here.
