Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

London is known as the fog capital, but that was many years ago, when the British Empire rose rapidly during the Industrial Revolution, London was full of factories and smoke billowing in the sky, which created huge wealth and propelled Britain to the throne of the world's great power, but also caused great damage to the environment on which they depended.

At that time, it was not easy to see the blue sky in London, even on a sunny day, and the sky was always foggy, so it had the reputation of "foggy capital" with a derogatory nature.

However, now London has shaken off the shadow of history, and after decades of continuous governance, like other European countries, its environment has completely changed, except that the city is still large and crowded, the shadow of the fog capital is invisible.

Chen Kangjie and the others came out of Heathrow Airport, the sky has been dripping with light rain, the air is quite fresh, even if it is raining, you can see a trace of the original color of the sky in the gap between the dense clouds.

The latitude of London is higher than that of China, in this deep winter season, it is relatively cold, Chen Kangjie is wearing a black windbreaker, a flat-framed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and a gentleman's hat on his head, and his leather shoes are shiny, especially Xiong Ziqiang held up a black umbrella for him, which really looks like a British gentleman, but if you look at it from a distance, you will feel that they look like the underworld, because there are several men wearing black umbrellas around him, located in different corners, forming a posture of arch guards, and seeing this style, the passerby only dared to glance at a few times and then leave.

Heathrow Airport was as busy as ever due to the rain, but no one recognized Chan.

Outside the VIP passage, a luxury black off-road vehicle drove in front of Chen Kangjie and them, Liu Deyi stepped forward and opened the rear door of the middle car, and Chen Kangjie sat sideways in it.

From the moment he got off the plane, Liu Deyi became Chen Kangjie's assistant, and he also had to perform his duties from this time, as for whether Chen Kangjie believed him immediately, it is difficult to say, after all, Chen Kangjie has a lot of secrets, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to believe a newcomer immediately.

Chen Kangjie and his group did not stop in London, but took a bus directly to Liverpool, and it was now close to 4pm, if nothing else, they were able to get to Liverpool before dark.

There is a distance of 325 kilometers between Liverpool and London, fortunately it is a rainy day, and it is not a holiday, the road connecting the two big cities is relatively spacious, and the traffic on the road is not large.

On Cast1eStreet, someone has already booked a hotel in advance.

Liverpool is not like a metropolis like New York or Hong Kong, with rows of skyscrapers, most of the buildings here are not high, but they have a special historical accumulation, just like Chen Kangjie and their hotel is only six stories high, built in the late eighteenth century, it looks very quaint on the outside, but the interior is very luxuriously decorated, soft crystal chandeliers, red wool carpets, furniture is mainly white and tan, and the material used is either oak or peach. Each room and the wall of the corridor are hung with exquisite oil paintings, the waiter in the dress is polite, seeing Chen Kangjie and them come in, the hotel manager first put a hand on his chest and bent down to salute before smiling Chen Kangjie and them in, making people have the supreme feeling of entering the palace.

Chen Kangjie stood in the window of his room on the sixth floor, and could see the Bank of England building diagonally opposite and the Albion Building (A1bionhouse) not far away, more than half a century ago, the headquarters of the White Star Shipping Company, the owner of the Titanic, was in this building.

Due to the tiring journey, on the day he arrived in Liverpool, Chen Kangjie did not arrange any activities, but only asked Comrade Liu Deyi and others, especially those from the United States, to have a brief meeting tomorrow morning and then go to the Canard Shipping Company to visit together.

Chen Kangjie arranged things for Liu Deyi, one is to observe his actual ability, and the second is to let him get acquainted with the people who have a working relationship with him, so as not to get to the point of not scratching his head, if the assessment is passed, Chen Kangjie plans to set up an office with Liu Deyi as the core, and he will handle his own business matters alone.

Early the next morning, Chen Kangjie got up and exercised in the room for half an hour, and after taking a shower, he went to the restaurant to have breakfast with all the staff who came this time.

Among the people who came this time, some of them are old friends with Chen Kangjie and have cooperated several times, some of them are meeting for the first time, the first time they cooperate, and this meeting is equivalent to a breakfast meeting, and they will talk while eating after getting to know each other.

In order to achieve a tacit understanding of cooperation and make everyone's work more efficient, Chen Kangjie explained his own plans, ideas, and intentions.

There are three key aspects, the first is to figure out the details of the Titanic, including its structure, facilities, size, internal decoration, cabin distribution, and the bits and pieces of the layout inside, detailed to what tableware was used on the ship at that time, what clothes the crew worn, etc., and finally these should be reflected in a drawing, the workload is very cumbersome, and the second is to figure out how the ship sank at that time, as well as the composition of the passengers on the ship and the form of the table, this aspect of the costume designer Deborah? Lynn? Scott had to play a good role, and thirdly, he began to research and think about how to replicate the scenes on the ship to facilitate the normal filming of the film.

Chen Kangjie put down the bread in his hand, took a sip of milk, wiped his lips elegantly with a napkin, and continued, "I regard this movie as the biggest production in my own film career, and the company's budget is to invest 200 million US dollars,,,,,。 ”。

"Wow", I heard that with an investment of 200 million US dollars, even if the people present are all leaders in the industry, it is not a small surprise, before that, there has not been a film investment to reach such an amount, and even the box office of the vast majority of movies in the world has not reached this number, everyone is talking about what kind of movie will be smashed with so much money.

Some people have read Chen Kangjie's script, and many people don't quite understand why such a romance film needs to invest so much money, but not many people will worry that this movie will lose money, according to Chen Kangjie's current fame and influence in the entertainment industry, even if it is a mediocre movie, I believe many buddies will go to the show, but to expect to make a lot of profits with this romance film, the people here are not much optimistic.

It's normal for these people to think like that, it turns out that when Cameron made this movie in history, the people around him and the investors were not too sure that they could make money, and the amount of investment has risen again and again, if it weren't for his greater fame and influence, it is estimated that no one would accompany him, even on the eve of the movie's release, this classic in history is not favored by people, but the result is so wonderful, this movie he is a miracle, and it has not been broken for ten years.

Chen Kangjie didn't have a way to make everyone believe in the prospects of this movie, he just wanted to finish what he had to do, knocked on the table, and warned everyone to be quiet, before he continued: "No matter what you think, this is a movie that I personally want to shoot, I hope you can conscientiously cooperate with me to complete it, the preliminary work will be more heavy, I thank you and please in advance, after the work in the UK is completed, we will begin to enter the stage of scene construction and character selection, Liu ,,,,,, Deyi, You record it, and then you have the U.S. companies ready for that."

Liu Deyi sat behind Chen Kangjie, holding a notebook in his hand and meticulously making records, Fan Wenxuan did not attend the breakfast meeting, he went to Canard Shipping Company early in the morning.

The reason why Chen Kangjie knotted when he called Liu Deyi's name was not that he couldn't remember the name, but that he felt a little awkward, he originally wanted to be called "Xiao Liu", but people were older than him, so it was disrespectful, but he called his full name directly, and it seemed to be raw, but if he called him like Xiong Ziqiang, they called him "Brother Yi", and the friendship did not reach that point, and he was a serious subordinate.

"Long, I have a lot of confidence in you, I believe that this film will definitely go through the past", Cindy Cindy, the set designer who has been working with Chen Kangjie, said to Chen Kangjie with passion.

When she cooperated with Chen Kangjie for the first time, Cindy also had doubts, he also doubted that the company's investment would be wasted, and even had the idea of not doing it, thinking that the company was child's play, but after several cooperations, Cindy was already very impressed by Chen Kangjie, Chen Kangjie's movies were not only higher than the box office, but also won several Oscars, which made her have a blind admiration for Chen Kangjie. is often a big surprise, just like when she didn't believe that Chen Kangjie could make "True Lies" well, and in the end the movie was very successful.

"Thank you, Cindy, hehe, I feel more confident when you say that, it's a pleasure to work with you," Chen Kangjie said gratefully to Cindy with a charming smile.

No matter what you think in your heart, anyway, Chen Kangjie's status as a big star is there, and most of the people here are still Chen Kangjie's lobsters, plus Cindy has made a start, and others have to give some face, and they have said that they will definitely work hard and cooperate to create a classic work.
