The time has entered June, nearly two months after the start of "Titanic", and the filming progress has also reached the plot of the ship hitting the iceberg.

But the whole drama is actually only one-third of the filming, and it will be at least five months before it is finally completed. From the ship entering the water to sinking, the energy spent on those shots alone was enough for Wang Zijun to make two well-made films.

"Attention departments, lifeguards ready!" Wang Zijun stood up from the chair and held the guide tube to command the scene nervously and excitedly.

What is about to be filmed is the shot of the Titanic being cut by an iceberg and a large amount of water entering the cabin.

Filming was carried out in a studio, and in order to make it realistic, three containers were placed on top of the "cabin". These containers contain a total of 50,000 gallons of water, and when Wang Zijun gives an order, the water will gush out of the containers.

Tsui Hark, who is a recording assistant at a time, is holding a recording stick with a microphone high, but his eyes are constantly observing all directions in the studio. He came to steal the teacher, and being able to personally participate in this kind of big production and big scene is a very good exercise for the director.

Guan Zhilin stood far away with her bag, and Tsui Hark temporarily changed her mind not to shoot "New Shushan Swordsman" for the time being, and she also stayed. She usually accompanies her parents in her new home, occasionally goes out shopping, and comes to the "Titanic" crew every once in a while to visit the class.

When all the departments were ready, Wang Zijun put down the guide tube uneasily, and ran to say to the actors: "Jill, when you come into the water, you have to keep this pillar; Hank, you're going to pull the railing on your side; Miss Alice, when you are washed out, be careful not to hit your head, and be sure to make the kind of horror that catches everything as much as you can......"

Wang Zijun explained the tricks in detail one by one again, and those tricks were not impatient. Because everyone knows the important surname of this scene, if something goes wrong in the middle, the reshoot will have to load three more containers of water, and the preparation will take at least two days.

"It's on."

"Eksh!"

"Boom!" With a dull thud, 50,000 gallons of water slanted down through the special aisles of the cabin and poured into the hall, where the actors were washed up and floated down like duckweed.

"Ahh Screams and shouts abounded, and the expressions on the actors' faces were not just performances, they were indeed frightened by the immersive water.

Several cameras captured the actors' movements and expressions from all angles, and it wasn't until a minute or so later that the water receded, leaving only the terrified actors soaking wet.

"Click! It's amazing. Wang Zijun was the first to applaud, it's really good that this scene can be surnamed once.

The staff cheered, and many high-fived them in celebration.

Next is a shot of the heroine rescuing the male protagonist and escaping from the cabin together.

However, it was not possible to shoot immediately, so Wang Zijun and the staff made preparations for half a day before they finally made preparations.

This scene requires the hero and heroine to run away frantically, followed by the sea water pouring in, and in the end, the two were swallowed by the sea water for a while.

It's not a good scene, Johnny. Depp said that Monica was not so good and had to use a stand-in.

Through various relationships, Wang Zijun finally found a female stand-in with Monica's stature, who is an acrobat in the circus, and her skills are not a problem.

"Ms. Sharon! I'll leave it to you later. Wang Zijun pulled Johnny and the female stand-in to explain for a while, and finally started filming.

The start of the shoot went smoothly until the "sea water" came in large quantities at the end, Johnny. Depp was the first to be rushed, only to fall down with the female stand-in holding hands.

"Bang!" Johnny. Depp's forehead hit the set wall hard, and for a while, blood flowed for a long time, and he fainted directly.

"Doctor, doctor, save people!" Wang Zijun calmed down, but he was worried. If only Johnny. Depp's injury is too serious, so the filming plan has to be delayed.

Just when Wang Zijun's filming was not going well, Lu Guozhan, who was sent to the Philippines to buy "Sister Ya" by Jiayi TV, also did not go well.

The Miss Asia pageant was held earlier than the Miss Hong Kong pageant, and it has a history of more than ten years. From the beginning of only the Philippines and Malaysia two competition constituencies, now it has extended to the whole of Southeast Asia, and has a certain influence. But this influence is also limited, and the number of participants is basically only 14-18 per year.

Of course, it does not mean that there are only more than a dozen people participating in the Miss Asia pageant, but it is a constituency divided by country and region, and each constituency sends a contestant to run. In other words, there are more than 10 countries and regions participating in the Miss Asia beauty pageant.

However, in recent years, the Miss Asia pageant has received a mediocre response and has not brought much profit to the organizers, and the Miss Asia pageant has gradually declined.

This is very good news for Lu Guozhen, who wants to buy "Miss Asia".

But when it really came to talk, the Filipinos didn't sell it at all, and they even killed a group of Australians to compete halfway.

The negotiations were at a stalemate for a while, and the best outcome was just for Jiashi to pay for it.

Lu Guozhan couldn't make up his mind, so he called back to Hong Kong to ask Liang Shuyi for instructions, and Liang Shuyi had to convene a meeting to discuss, and after discussing for several days, there was no good plan.

Liang Shuyi didn't make up her mind, and Lu Guozhan came back with news. It is said that the Australians have already negotiated with the Filipinos, and the Australian consortium has contributed money to the shares, and next year's Miss Asia headquarters will be moved to New Zealand, and renamed "Miss Asia-Pacific", and several Pacific countries will be added as constituencies for the competition.

When Liang Shuyi heard this, she regretted that she was undecided, and now the chicken and egg are beating.

After thinking about it, those suggestions about Miss Asia were made by Wang Zijun, and Liang Shuyi simply called to the United States. She called for two days before she finally contacted Wang Zijun.

When Wang Zijun heard this, he smiled very easily and said, "Aren't they going to change their names?" Let them change it to Miss Asia-Pacific, this Miss Asia-Pacific beauty pageant, we will register ourselves and do it ourselves! ”

"This ...... Will this work? Liang Shuyi was stunned when she heard this, and it was okay for her to make a Hong Kong beauty pageant, and to start an international beauty pageant from scratch, which was too much of a test of her ability.

"What, there's a problem?" Wang Zijun asked.

"I didn't ...... No problem. Liang Shuyi said, "It's just a ...... in terms of funds."

Wang Zijun said: "It's not for you to immediately pull in the entire Asian countries, and do it one by one first." First put Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan. I will give the contact information of some entertainment companies and TV stations in these countries, make a plan first, and then find local people to cooperate. Countries such as South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, etc., can slowly develop again. As for Jiayi TV, we are doing a beauty pageant in Hong Kong by ourselves, and the time is set before the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. The champion of this contest will compete for the Miss Asia title at the end of the year with contestants from other regions. That's right, Taiwan. The review of beauty pageants is very strict, I will give you a few phone calls, and you can let the people who do the work mean...... Eh, that's it, I'm about to film! ”

Wang Zijun said a lot, and Liang Shuyi was the last to stay in front of the phone and was stunned.

The chairman said it easily, not to mention pulling Singapore in, it is only Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and it is tiring to make a noise, and it costs a lot of money. If it is done according to Wang Zijun's plan, if it fails or the effect is not ideal, the loss will be great, and it is possible to drag down the entire TV station.

Liang Shuyi is really not sure, she is the person recruited by He Zuozhi, and after Wang Zijun hung up the phone for a while, Liang Shuyi called He Zuozhi for instructions.

When He Zuoyi heard this, he couldn't help admiring Wang Zijun's generosity, but he didn't dare to make a rash decision. Cen Weixiu, the third largest shareholder of the TV station, was looking for roots in the mainland at this time, and he couldn't find anyone for a while, so He Zuozhi had to ask Liang Shuyi to press the matter down first and discuss it with the board of directors in the future.

Jiayi TV's affair with the establishment of a beauty contest did not go well, and Comrade Bi Wenyan from the mainland also went through twists and turns to buy TV dramas.

The first is wide. The leaders of East TV Station hoped that he would buy modern dramas, but it turned out that he persuaded the leaders to buy the mythological drama "The Legend of the New White Lady".

The next problem is that the price is too expensive, and the leader means that he wants to talk for tens of thousands of yuan and buy the broadcast rights of the entire TV series. However, Jiashi has to be calculated according to the set, so the cost is too great.

After more than two months of discussion, Bi Wenyan finally bought the broadcast rights of "The Legend of the New White Lady" at a price of 20,000 yuan (at this time, RMB was worth more than Hong Kong dollars).

However, there are additional conditions, that is, if "The Legend of the New White Lady" has good ratings, it will be wide in the future. East TV should give priority to buying Jiashi's films. And, wide. China East TV cannot give away or sell "The Legend of the New White Lady" to other TV stations in the mainland at will.

In July 1983, "The Legend of the New White Lady" was finally broadcast in the mainland, and Wang Zijun was still entangled in the troubles and pains of filming a huge film. Just a few days ago, the crew had another accident, during the filming of the "Falling into the Sea" scene, two young actors accidentally fell off the hull props, one arm was broken, the other head hit the ground, and the skull was cracked, and it took two days to rescue them before they were out of danger.

Finally, there were no dead people, Wang Zijun and the insurance company were accompanied, and the filming work still could not continue.

It seems that someone went to sue for a complaint, saying that Wang Zijun's crew had problems with the safety protection of the actors, and then an investigation team came and checked the crew for three days before patting his ass and leaving.

Wang Zijun was angry and helpless, this is the case in the United States, I heard that when filming "The Shawshank Redemption" in another time and space, the bugs that fed the crows were all bugs that were specially found to be dead. Otherwise, if you feed the crows live bugs, it will attract people from the Animal Protection Association......
