"Hey, are you nervous?"

On the pier at the port of Bordeaux, Dr. Bareka Papin, with long curly hair and dark bags like an addict, rubbed her hands in the cold sea breeze and asked Emma Watson and Sula Shama.

"No, it's very interesting, there is nothing more interesting in this world than to go to outer space to see the planets." Emma Watson wrinkled her delicate little nose and rubbed her hands very cutely, "But it's too cold, isn't it summer?" ”

Sura Shama also nodded in agreement: "Well, it's really like a holiday trip at school, but it's really much more interesting~ It's just that the temperature is a little low......"

"Do you know what you are doing to be cold~?" Bareka Papin looked at them, and from that big nose came a series of creepy voices:

"Dozens of ships have been buried in this area for hundreds of years, and I heard that every time a ship sinks here, the sea breeze temperature in this area drops by one degree, and hundreds of years ago it was the hottest sea in the entire Atlantic...... Listen closely, can you hear the cries of ghosts in the sea breeze for help...... Yes, this is the cry of those screaming undead~~ I hope that the people who hear it will stay at the bottom of the sea together and be able to accompany them~~~"

Sura Shama, who believes in Hinduism, couldn't help but feel creepy when he heard this, and suddenly felt a cold sea breeze blowing in his face, and the sound of "huhu~" came from his ears, as if it was really a ghost crying out at the bottom of the sea, and he was so frightened that he exclaimed "ah".

"Sura~~You idiot~~ What are you shouting~! You believe it~Ha Luha~~" Emma Watson smiled angrily next to him and supported him, already frightened by the cowardly appearance of this Indian boy.

Everyone laughed at the Indian teenager's reaction, but Fred, who was the art director, shook his head in disappointment and sighed inwardly.

He couldn't understand why Li Xiaole chose such a cowardly child, you must know that Lu Dao's pie in the film can survive with the tiger in the boat for more than 200 days, and the strength of this character's inner strength is probably one in ten thousand, but this Sura Shama really can't see where he is tenacious......

The cast and crew were joking with Dr. Bareka Papin, everyone looking forward to the trip, while Li Xiaole checked the deep-water camera mounted on the small diving chamber "Bright One" of the "Royal Louis XIV".

Like "Titanic", the production of "Life of Pi" will be a double challenge of engineering and art, in order to pursue realistic and shocking scenes, the underwater wreck of the Lancastrian is a must, and Li Xiaole wants to complete the same challenge as James Cameron filmed "Titanic", he must build a 35mm camera that can withstand 50,000 pounds of pressure per square inch at a depth of 13,000 feet underwater.

Such pressures can squash an ordinary diving cylinder like a beer tank, and before James Cameron, all deep-water photography was done in the primitive way of placing the camera lens on the observation hole of the submarine.

But Li Xiaole shared Cameron's idea that he wanted to put the camera outside the submarine, so that he could really use the way the film was shot to pan and change the angle of the lens, and in addition to the camera itself, he also needed a remote control device and a container for the camera.

"I've been diving for 30 years, and I've never seen a camera container that can withstand 10,000 meters of pressure." Smith, the captain of the French scientific research submarine, who had a split head, patted the camera container, turned his head and said helplessly to Li Xiaole, he felt that the director was very messy.

"Don't worry, if this thing breaks down, you can get the boat up and down immediately, and safety comes first." Li Xiaole pursed his lips and tapped the fixed bracket with a wrench, making sure that this thing was completely tightly fitted before nodding.

"I think at most 1,000 meters, this thing will be deflated by water pressure...... Forget it, an artist like you won't listen to me anyway. Captain Smith shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

After everything was ready, the scientists of "Royal Louis XIV" and Li Xiaole's team entered the cabin one after another, and began their deep-sea journey, this time the shooting project was codenamed "Polar Planet", except for several senior executives of the Black Pearl Company, as well as the scientists, engineers and crew members who participated in the expedition, no one knew that Li Xiaole, the Li Jesus who stirred up the whole Hollywood, was taking a French research ship in the world to photograph the real Lancastrian wreckage.

The "Royal Louis XIV" is the largest research diving ship in the world, 422 feet long, can carry 130 crew members, and even has a small indoor swimming pool, an indoor basketball court, and multiple stills used to make wine.

Not so long ago, the ship's sound system was even equipped with KGB eavesdropping equipment, and of course, Li Xiaole was not interested in the entertainment equipment on the submarine of the same name as Red Wine, and he had converted a conference room into a screening room two weeks ago to review the test footage shot at shallow depths.

Li Xiaole's crew also carried the wreck and a high-precision computer-modeled model of the "Royal Louis XIV", and Li Xiaole and the French driver spent two days practicing in the computer, moving around the model of the "Lancastria".

"Let's practice again while the ship sinks." During the sinking of the submarine, Li Xiaole was still a little uneasy, so he called the French pilot named Yugli to practice the shooting process again.

It takes about 13 hours to drive the submarine to the filming location, and once it arrives, due to the water pressure and the firmness of the camera equipment, Li Xiaole only has 12 minutes to shoot the real scene, time is very precious, and the cost of such a dive alone is as high as 4 million US dollars, so the preparation is even more important to avoid wasting the photo.

Watching Li Xiaole use the handle to simulate the operation in the computer, with a lipstick-sized camera, with the cooperation of the French driver Yugli, shuttled back and forth in the wreckage of the deep sea waters, the movements were fast and delicate to the extreme, which made everyone breathtaking.

"Wow...... You, the director, are like a surgeon with a scalpel, and this technique is really good. Dr. Bareka Papin couldn't help but sigh at Fred, Yugli was the best operator in their academy, but compared to Li Xiaole, it was really far behind......

Bareka Papin originally thought that Li Xiaole, a Chinese director, had no real level at a young age, but now just by looking at his bearing to master the remote control camera with a handle, he can know that this young Chinese director is definitely a good player.

In fact, whether it is a surgeon, a director in charge of the camera, or a doctor of science who adjusts the microscope, they are all people who carry precision instruments every day, and any slight tremor in the hand will make the result a thousand miles away, and mastering this precision technique is not only a constant repetition and hard practice, but more importantly, it requires a calm state of mind.

Even if your hand is stable, a slightly violent breathing, a too abrupt heartbeat, will affect the stability of your hand, to put it bluntly, what kind of excellent surgeon, as well as those photographers or directors who are in charge of the camera, the older the higher the level? This is all a matter of state of mind cultivation, and the state in which Li Xiaole is engrossed makes it hard to believe that he is only in his 20s.

"Of course, he's the best director I've ever seen......" Fred, nodded as a matter of course, but he had some doubts in his heart, Li Xiaole took so much effort to really shoot the real wreckage surround shot he wanted and put it in the movie? If he fails, will he spend $4 million to do it again?

Indeed, if Li Xiaole was not the boss of the production company, no company would allow the director to take such a big risk......

During the long process of submarine diving, Emma Watson and Sura Sharma, two young boys and girls, were happily playing various games of truth or dare, and the two young men were obviously very excited.

And as time passed, the crew began to go back to their rooms to rest, and the crew had no exclusive room, so they could only lie on the floor of this screening room and take a nap......

And after waking up from a dream after just a sleep, Emma rubbed her eyes and looked at the people around her who were resting upside down, and after she woke up, she suddenly found that there was something terrifying in this room......

Looking out the window at the dark depths of the ocean without a glimmer of light, in the quiet and scary screening room, the sound of water pressure "whirring" on the walls of the ship, Emma gradually felt a little frightened.

She looked everywhere where Li Xiaole was, and it seemed that only this braggart director could give her a sense of security, but she just couldn't find it...... Now there is a very serious situation, which is ...... She wanted to pee, but she couldn't hold it anymore......

But she was a little afraid to go to the bathroom in the cabin alone, under the dim light, Emma's mind exploded countless horror movie scenes, entangled by those undersea souls, possessed by souls, dragged into the mirror by curses, and forced into the mirror by the strong crew who didn't know where to come out****......
