1250.Ocean Dreams (5/5)

Later, Cameron introduced some rules of the film to him, and in the selection of the theme of the movie, it is mainly to consider the requirements of the investor and the director.

For ordinary directors, it is to first have a suitable script, and after the investor takes a fancy to it, then select a director to shoot, and then choose a role and location to start filming.

But for famous directors, especially those of Cameron's level, it's different, he comes up with his own book, and then goes to investors to ask for sponsorship, that is to say, as long as the money is not bad, Cameron can shoot whatever he wants.

For the film industry, Cameron is a ghost, he has not systematically studied film shooting knowledge, he is self-taught in film, but after participating in the crew of "First Blood 2", he produced super hit movies such as "Alien", "Terminator", and "Titanic" in the early days.

Stirring the coffee with a spoon, Cameron smiled, "I used to be an extremely heroic person, so I would be on the crew of First Blood." But then I realized that it wasn't what I wanted, I had to shoot something I liked, and the ocean was what I liked. ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then we have a common hobby, and I also like the ocean." ”

Cameron shook his head and said, "It's different, you like the ocean because of its reality." I love the ocean, because I like its mystery, I like the unknown it represents, this is the vitality of my creation. ”

Instead of continuing, he changed the subject and asked, "What type of novel did you like to read most when you were in school?" ”

Qin Shiou thought for a while and said, "It should be Xianxia, right?" A kind of online literary culture in China. Very interesting. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly had another thought in his heart: "Hey, buddy. How about we work together to make a big Xianxia movie? We have a lot of suitable subjects in our country, and I can inject money for you, how about it? ”

Cameron laughed, but didn't answer him, and continued his topic on his own: "When I was in school, my favorite thing was science fiction, whether it was on the school bus or during recess, I would read science fiction when I had time. ”

Qin Shiou nodded to show that he understood. Cameron was born in the fifties of the last century, and he went to school in the sixties and seventies because of the popularity of satellite television. Canada entered its first big bang of knowledge, and he once listened to Winnie's parents, who, like Cameron, had a love of science fiction as teenagers.

"The constant exposure to science fiction made me think. Aliens don't necessarily live in outer space. There is a good chance that they live right on our planet. So at the age of 15, I decided to become a diver, know what I thought? Cameron asked with a smile.

Qin Shiou guessed: "Do you think aliens live in the deep sea?" ”

Cameron laughed and nodded, asking, "Did it feel like I was stupid at the time?" ”

Qin Shiou said: "No, maybe there are really aliens in the deep sea, even if there are no aliens, there are many things that human beings have never reached, if we have a thorough understanding of the ocean." You'll be surprised. ”

With the heart of the sea god, the ocean is his back garden. Qin Shiou has been wandering around the North Atlantic, chatting with Cameron like this, listening to him talk about the speculation about the ocean when he was a teenager, Qin Shiou felt that he might need to go to other seas to take a look.

The boss began to serve the food, and while eating, Cameron talked about his childhood and teenage life.

Qin Shiou knew that the great director was Canadian, but he did not know that he was born in a small mountain village in Ontario, only 6 miles away from the nearest sea.

After learning about the world from television and science fiction, Cameron developed a sense of anticipation for the ocean. Qin Shiou was also full of expectations for the ocean when he was a child, but his father didn't even let him go down the river, and every time he secretly went to the river to fish and bathe in elementary school, he was inevitably beaten.

Cameron was much luckier than his father, who supported his dream of exploring the oceans and found him a diving course across the border in Buffalo, New York, USA, where he later earned his first diving certificate in a large pool.

As teenagers, because of Cameron's father's work, they moved to California, USA, which has a long coastline and is the best diving destination in the United States, where Cameron spent a perfect teenage year and became a master diver.

Later, when he went to college and graduated, he was exposed to movies, and what really made Cameron soar was the filming of "Titanic", which won the Oscar for Best Director to the big director, and also made him realize once again the vastness, mystery and variety of the ocean.

In the past, Cameron's understanding of the ocean was through diving and TV books, etc., when filming the Titanic, the crew hired a submarine, and through the submarine Cameron entered previously unreached territory and was exposed to more things in the ocean.

For this reason, after finishing the filming of "Titanic", Cameron directly suspended his film career and went to follow some extreme exploration organizations to wander in the ocean. Until now, Cameron is still full of affection for the ocean, and most of his films rely on fantasy, and the ocean is a complete fantasy world.

Although the movie he wants to make this time is the same marine disaster film as "Titanic", the genre is different, Titanic is a disaster romance film, and this time he wants to shoot a marine disaster film that shows extreme personal heroism.

The idea came two years ago in the fall, and it happened that the Harvest rescue in the storm was a huge topic at the time, and Cameron had the idea to use the IP to develop a similar movie.

In this way, there was the idea of the movie "Angry Sea Heroes", and there was also the intersection of Cameron and Qin Shiou, when he accepted Kohl's invitation to attend the Strauss family dinner, one of the purposes was to get to know Qin Shiou and improve his film ideas through him.

Now everything is left to Dongfeng, as long as Nimitz returns to the team, then he can work hard to make a movie.

This meal is actually Cameron's urging of Qin Shiou, and he hopes that Nimitz can come to the crew as soon as possible.

Eating people has a short mouth, and when they parted, Qin Shiou patted his chest and promised that he would find a way to bring Nimitz to Miami when he went back.

Receiving his assurance, Cameron sighed and said, "I knew that one meal would solve this problem, why didn't I invite you to dinner earlier?" ”

Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "It's not too late, Nimitz is a very smart bird, you just need to make preparations, the shooting about it will definitely go smoothly and will not take up any time." (To be continued......)
