Open treasure chests in the film and television world

Chapter 190 Titanic (1)

Throughout the afternoon and evening, and even the whole of the next day, Gao was inquiring about the situation of the Titanic.

There is no news about the shooting of this movie, but I have inquired about some stories about "Titanic".

Similar to the reason why the "Titanic" sank in the real world.

The Titanic was completed in May 1911. In the same year, another "power" also manufactured the Olympic. The difference is that the Titanic is more luxurious than its interior decoration.

This also stems from the competition among peers, but it also planted disasters because of the eagerness for quick success.

The designers at that time also fully complied with this requirement, and pursued luxury to the utmost. There were so many furniture in the cabin that several people could not move them, the carpets were several layers thick, and there were high-end murals, chandeliers, etc., and even In some cabins there are also marble washstands, just like a moving palace, but it is also conceivable that these furnishings account for half of the weight.

On April 1912, 4, Captain Smith let the ship sail at an extremely high speed. He was confident that the ship would never sink, so he ignored the information that there was an iceberg nearby and ordered the ship to speed up. Because of this , When the iceberg was found, it was too late.At that time, the ship was less than 14 meters away from the iceberg, and the first officer immediately ordered the full left rudder and the hull to retreat urgently.

But the Titanic was too huge, and it couldn’t stop because of the speed of the ship. The starboard side of the ship directly hit the iceberg next to it, and the seawater gradually filled the bilge. The Titanic had a total of [-] cabins, and because it was watertight, If there are four cabins flooded, it will not exceed the weight of the hull, but unfortunately the seawater just fills the fifth cabin, which is extremely dangerous and will cause the entire ship to sink.

There is also an extremely coincidental thing. The Titanic sent out a distress signal that day, but no ship arrived in time.Among them, the California, which was the closest, just turned off the telegraph at that time, so it did not receive a distress signal. In addition, the Carpathia, which was the closest, also took four hours to arrive. However, It was too late.After 20 minutes, after emergency repairs failed, Andrew, the designer of the ship, evaluated the condition of the ship and immediately issued a conclusion in the captain's room that "the ship is hopeless".

Then the next thing to do is to abandon the ship and put down the lifeboat for rescue.

And at such a moment of life and death, humanity is at its best.

Just like the order of classification of the cabins, in the face of life and death, there is still a queue. Whether it is a child or a woman, the principle of priority is still that the first-class passengers get the lifeboat seat first.

Only children and women are allowed to pass through the left side of the ship, and men are allowed to pass through the right side of the ship after women and children have passed, so more people were rescued on the right side.

All the women in the first class had a total of 144 people, only 4 did not survive, and the death toll of children in the first class and second class was 1.

Another point is that the lifeboat that could have carried 1178 people at that time only saved 651 lives in the end.One of the largest lifeboats has a capacity of 65 people, but only a dozen people are seated.

In such a life-threatening situation, people think that the more the lifeboat is loaded, the easier it is to capsize, so they drove away while ensuring that they could survive as much as possible.

The situation was chaotic at that time, people panicked, and people kept jumping from the deck to the lifeboats below.

Those who boarded the lifeboat quickly left the dangerous area and drove towards the shore, but they were immersed in their panic and anxiety, and did not see other people struggling in the water. For more than half of the people beside them were empty They didn't seem to see the seat, they just thought about running for their lives.

Finally, at [-]:[-] in the morning, the sinking speed of the Titanic accelerated significantly, and some workers who were draining the water also died suddenly under the impact of water pressure.

At this time, the captain said the last words of his life as his last words, "The next kings will depend on themselves." Then he locked himself in the captain's room, ready to accompany the ship to the end.

Chief designer Andrew finished his last cigarette in the smoking room, quietly waiting for death to come.

On the other side, the boss Meis quietly covered his face and escaped on the lifeboat. In stark contrast, the eight-member band in tuxedos on the boat was still playing to calm people's sad and desperate hearts. At the last moment, They too died like gentlemen.

At around 1912:4 on April 14, 23, the so-called "unsinkable" Titanic, at around 40:4 am on April 15, the Titanic broke into two pieces and sank in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Of the 2 employees involved in this incident, 20 were killed. This is also the largest shipwreck in human history outside of war.

The Titanic is famous for its unparalleled maiden voyage, leaving countless legends and unsolved mysteries. It is an unexpected accident. It is not only a great torture of human nature in the face of death, but also a display of nature. Its power is a warning to mankind.

The wreck of the Titanic was not discovered until 12 years ago, in 1985.

This plot is very similar to the plot of the movie, except that there is an extra pair of "wild mandarin ducks" who have an affair in front of their fiancé.

To be honest, this movie made such a huge sensation when it was released. First, because the special effects are too real, the highlight moment at the end of the Titanic sinking is really shocking.

The second is the death of the hero.

Although the male and female protagonists are a pair of "wild mandarin ducks", they are unswerving in their love until death. They really would rather die for their lover than live with their true love and move countless people.

Well, though, in the end the heroine got married to the man.

But that's the reality.

After all, as a weak woman who is pregnant, she is alone in a strange city, she must live, even if it is for their child...

Now that it is confirmed that this film can be shot by himself, the problem Gao Cheng is facing now is not to form a crew, nor is it to distribute it, but where to get a "Titanic"?
Even a ship one size smaller than the Titanic is fine, but there is a premise that the ship must be luxurious.

Although about 80% of the pictures in this movie are synthesized with computer special effects, even the scenes where the hero and heroine stand on a huge cruise ship blowing wind are also shot by the hero and heroine standing on props, and then edited and synthesized by the editor, but there are still some shipwrecks. The footage is real.

Therefore, it is very necessary to get a large cruise ship, otherwise, some pictures cannot be so realistic with the current special effects technology.

So, that night, Gao Cheng called Caitlin, the life housekeeper, and after beating her out of breath, he asked her, "What big and luxurious ships do you have in the United States?"

Caitlin said weakly: "Titanic."

Gao Cheng was surprised.

Later she added: "The imitation of..."

This woman's words are really annoying, half and half, regardless of Caitlin's pleading, the annoyed Gao Cheng pressed her on the bed and started beating people...
