423 There was a truck driver named Cameron
Although Concord had published a full-page ad about Jaws' ferocity a week earlier, stating that the film might be too intense for children and teenagers, the audience only saw the warnings as propaganda, and the first hour of the film did not feel much horror, and the vigilance was lowered. 【】
But an hour later, the audience in the theater began to feel a wave of terror coming, the atmosphere on the screen suddenly became tense, panicked tourists, blood-colored bubbles floating in the sea, painful mothers, remorseful sheriffs all kinds of pictures intertwined, the first kind of music floating in the theater sounded very full of flavor, but also changed the flavor at the same time, so that the audience clearly knew that every time this music sounded, the terrifying great white shark would arrive.
As a result, the hearts of hundreds of thousands of viewers across the United States were completely pulled by "Jaws", and they are now holding their hearts in their throats all the time, for fear that the next shot will be the appearance of the murderous Jaws.
However, the development of the plot did not make the audience as they wished, they were afraid for more than ten minutes, and they saw such a plot: Quint, the arrogant and arrogant fish-fighting expert in the town, thought that he was the best in the world, and killing the shark was easy to catch, and it was effortless. He took people out to sea, hunted and killed a small tiger shark, just waiting to be rewarded for his deeds and show off everywhere.
"Hey, is this the end of it?" An audience member behind Wang Xiaohu sighed in a low voice, and from his tone, Wang Xiaohu clearly heard the disappointment.
"No, Andri, I don't think that one is really a great white shark, and you think Tiger . . . Will Wang's script be a disappointment? Another voice rang out.
"But they're celebrating, and even the male lead Sheriff Brown thinks Jaws is dead!" Andriy said unconvinced.
"Do you want to bet?"
"Of course, if this is the end of the story, you'll be in charge of my lunch tomorrow, knowing that for the sake of watching Tiger. Wang's investment and screenwriter's movie, I am already shy in my pocket. ”
"If you lose, you're going to ask me to come to the theater to see Jaws again."
"Deal." As soon as Andriy finished speaking, he let out a groan of pain: "Oh no, God, I hate that marine biologist to death, he made me lose the day after tomorrow's lunch, no, it was three whole days!" ”
"Haha, I said it a long time ago, Tiger. The king will not disappoint, and behold, they are planning to go to sea! Andri's companion whispered a chuckle.
The great white shark still came, and the nightmare was still there, and it slapped Quint hard in the face.
The audience had just breathed a sigh of relief and been whetted by the quintessential American element of individual heroism, so the sheriff, Quint and Martin, the oceanographer, went out to sea to catch sharks, and at Gwent's insistence, they only drove a small and medium-sized fishing boat to search the sea for great white sharks at night.
Wang Xiaohu didn't know how many times he watched this movie, but this time, he suddenly found that something strange appeared on the screen, and a lot of question marks popped up in his mind in an instant!
At 1 hour, 35 minutes and 59 seconds into the film, when the picture shows Sheriff Brown sitting on a boat occupying half of the screen, Wang Xiaohu sees a red UFO that seems to be burning from the top of the screen
"Damn, didn't these guys encounter an alien civilization while filming at night?" Wang Xiaohu looked at Spielberg next to him in surprise, he had long doubted whether this guy was an earthling, otherwise he would be able to direct a mature commercial film like "ET Alien" at the age of less than 30.
And the UFO light group I see now is much clearer than the UFO incident in "The Good Man of the Three Gorges and The Savage Girlfriend" that Wang Xiaohu watched in his previous life!!
The red-and-white dot moves from the high above left of the fishing boat to the low in the lower right corner until it disappears into the clouds farther away. (Read it a few more times, it's not nonsense.) "Steven, did you just see that? Wang Xiaohu felt that this was incredible, like Spielberg next to him asked.
"What?" Spielberg was clearly paying attention to the characters and plot on the screen, and was not aware that he had inadvertently filmed something that surprised Wang.
"I mean, there's a good chance you've photographed something from outer space." Wang Xiaohu asked tentatively.
"Where? How I didn't see it! Spielberg suddenly became interested, staring at the big screen with big eyes, but at this time the picture had already turned away, he didn't see anything about outer space, and couldn't help but look at Wang Xiaohu with some complaint and said: "Boss, you deceived me, there is nothing there!" ”
"Okay, we'll go back to the company's screening room and take a closer look!" Wang Xiaohu said: "However, I am sure that your next movie has already been settled." ”
"Tell me what it is." Spielberg asked anxiously.
"Shhhh ”
"Boss" Spielberg can't strangle Wang Xiaohu now, this damn guy completely seduces his curiosity, and there are two of them, but he is his own boss, and he can't do anything about him
The two of them talked, the film was already in the white-hot stage, arrogance made Quint lose his mind, ignorance made him misjudge, he only blindly believed in his experience and ability, when the great white shark with three floating buckets can still dive into the deep sea, he realizes what a terrible monster he has to face.
When the great white shark began to attack the fishing boat, the bloody mouth made many timid viewers scream, the previous picture just told how ferocious this big guy was from an objective point of view, the audience just subconsciously thought it was terrifying, but when it actually appeared on the screen, many people were still frightened.
Among them was Wang Xiaohu's companion named Andri, whose screams were particularly harsh.
"James, shut your mouth, don't you know that this shark is fake, its eyes are as bright as buttons, you are scared by a dead thing welded with steel, haha, tomorrow I will definitely promote your glorious image in the truck fleet!" Andriy said happily, it was clear that he had finally seized the opportunity to tease James, and this feeling of revenge made him feel good!
"**, I hate that big shark now, it actually made me lose my grace!" After James finished yelling, he was very angry, and he said angrily: "If Tiger. The king does not arrange for the big shark to be killed by me, James. Cameron swore never to look at Tiger again. Any film written or directed by Wang. ”
"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu's ears moved, and he turned his head sideways to look at the person behind him called "James. Cameroon", how did he know that the light in the theater was too dim, he didn't see the other party's appearance clearly, and wondered in his heart: "This guy can't be the Cameron he was familiar with in his previous life, right?" ”
The Cameron filming location in Wang Xiaohu's memory is a reckless and domineering "tyrant"; In the family, he is an inconsiderate and uncaring husband; In the eyes of his Hollywood counterparts, Cameron is a paranoid and money-burning machine.
That's right, Cameron is a money-burning machine, the movies he directs often exceed the planned investment by several times, the "Titanic" costing more than 200 million US dollars was the most expensive film at that time, it seems that burning money does not explain Cameron's characteristics, the film shooting and production process lasted for five years, and the entire set was sold for scrap metal after the shooting, which was a loser.
Even if Cameron has such and such flaws, in the eyes of many ordinary movie fans, these accusations are completely irrelevant, they are either eggs or malicious attacks out of jealousy, there is only one James in the world. Cameron, that's the big hero James. Cameron, great genius James. Cameron, incomparable, omnipotent director James. Cameron.
Cameron's several movies Wang Xiaohu has watched, "Terminator 1-2", "Alien 2", "True Lies", "Titanic", and even watched the trailer of "Avatar" before being reborn, all of which show that Cameron is a guy who can burn money and make money, and is both liked and hated by investors. It's a complex mentality, and no matter how notorious he is, he still thrives in Hollywood and becomes one of the most compelling directors of the twentieth century.
If it is really the Cameron in his memory, then Wang Xiaohu earned it tonight, because he knows that Cameron is now a truck driver, and Cameron officially wants to join the film industry because of the influence of Lucas's "Star Wars", and since then Cameron knows what he wants to do and embarks on a journey to Hollywood.
Wang Xiaohu was thinking about a lot of things in his head, so much so that when "Jaws" finished playing, he didn't notice it, if it weren't for the bursts of cheers in the theater, he might have forgotten that he was in the theater.
The lights in the theater turned on, Wang Xiaohu turned his head for the first time, and looked at the seat not far behind him, there were many people sitting there, Wang Xiaohu was not sure which one was Cameron, and at this time, the applause in the theater was getting louder and louder, and Wang Xiaohu was dragged onto the stage by Spielberg.
"Boss, don't you want to say something to everyone?" Spielberg blinked, it stands to reason that he should be the first to speak as the director of the film on this occasion, but he knew that without Wang Xiaohu's script and investment, he would not have been able to achieve such a brilliant success.
