[American Entertainment] The road to becoming a god

……

Today's James Cameron is still worrying. He drives a car on the roads of Los Angeles, and it seems that he can forget the bad things about meeting with investors.

Just like a few months ago, it was still a problem with the filming of "Titanic". Originally, the starring role had been finalized, and the model and set were about to be completed, but at this moment, a bad news broke out - part of the props were caused by the negligence of the staff. The size was wrong and had to be remade. At this time, the storage place of those props was suddenly hit by a tornado, causing serious losses. To make matters worse, Cameron and the team found that their budget was not enough to support them. A batch of props The entire crew was forced to shut down.

Except for Winslet, who was originally scheduled to play Rose, almost all the actors ran away overnight because they were afraid that the project would be too expensive. Every step is documented in hopes that Fox will invest more.

Facing the additional 6500 million investment they finally proposed, Fox first expressed regret for a series of problems caused by natural disasters, and finally said that they should "consider carefully" the additional investment.

As soon as Cameron and the others left, Fox gave the script of "Titanic" to Paramount, and used the distribution rights in North America in exchange for financial support.Paramount agreed to this cooperation, and they expressed their willingness to increase it to 2 million.

With this money, the project can be restarted, but the actor needs to be searched again. Many Hollywood male stars have expressed their wishes for this role, among which Cameron is most satisfied with Tom Cruise.Unfortunately, Cruise turned down the role of Jack, saying he had already taken on other scripts.

Cameron has not been able to find a suitable actor. Seeing that the props are completed and the shooting is about to start, the investor will lose a sum of money every day the project is stagnant. So two days ago, the representative of Paramount met with Cameron One side and asked him to finalize the actors within a week.

If "Titanic" continues the routine of sci-fi films like Cameron's previous films, then there will be a lot of investors waving money to invest in him, but this is a romance film, even if the "disaster" is put on the front This is a romantic movie, and this is the first romantic movie directed by Cameron. No one knows what the result will be.

Quite a few people think from the bottom of their hearts that no matter how much they invest in this movie, they will lose everything in the end.

The investors only care about the money, they don't even care what kind of movie it is, Cameron thought sarcastically, when he saw the wreck of the Titanic under the sea for the first time a few years ago, he decided that he had to After making this movie, the poignant love line that the investors are looking for is just a flash of inspiration when he was conceiving this movie.

Filmmaking is a war, a battle between business and aesthetics, and Cameron is convinced of this.

In a week, he has to finalize all the actors.

The supporting role is relatively easy to solve, but the difficulty lies in the actor Jack. How can he find the real Jack who came out of his script?

And... Rose's fiancé, the actor who was supposed to play this role was an Englishman. He originally decided to wait with Winslet to lead the crew to start work, but there is a movie in the UK that wants to invite him, although he is not the protagonist. , but the appearance time is quite good, and this movie is very urgent, I hope he can rush back to participate.So between these two movies, the actor chose to return to China. Fortunately, he has not signed a contract with "Titanic" and does not need to pay liquidated damages. Cameron is really happy for him, but... this means Then he wanted to find another actor.

Having a headache, Cameron braked and stopped on the side of the road. After slapping the steering wheel twice, he calmed down a little. Then, through the reflection of the car window, he realized that he had parked the car in a different corner of a movie theater. In the distance, Gaspar Cook actually appeared on the movie poster shown today.

What kind of wonderful fate is this?Cameron frowned, remembering that the last time he went to the theater by chance, he met Gaspar who played the role of Romeo.

Thinking of the appearance of Gaspar's Romeo, Cameron's heart moved. The shadow of the blond boy Gasper gradually overlapped with his imagination when he was conceiving the script, preventing the "Gaspar Jack" in Cameron's mind. The reason for the establishment of the formula comes from Romeo's gorgeous costumes, which are completely different from poor boy Jack.

So what about this time?What role did Gaspar play.

Cameron looked up again at the poster above, and saw that Gaspar had returned to his original black hair, and he was wearing a black suit from head to toe that revealed the taste of elites. On the poster, he was looking down at another man. In different directions, all the people around have been blurred, it looks like two people are fixed on the crowded street, and the slightly yellowish tone brings everything to an unfathomable depth.

Suspense movies were not Cameron’s hobby, but he did not deny that this poster and Gaspar made him interested in this movie. His eyes followed Gaspar, and the name of the movie was printed at the bottom ,"follow".

"Hello, please give me a movie ticket for "Follow." Cameron leaned on the table of the ticket booth and handed in a banknote.

The conductor didn't even raise his head. He chewed the bubble gum and said impatiently, "Not anymore, today's one is gone. The previous show has already started for almost a quarter of an hour."

"It's okay." Cameron said immediately, "Give me a ticket."

Of course the conductor didn't care about the people watching the movie, he still didn't look up, and typed out a movie ticket, "Hall No. 3, go in and sit as you like."

Cameron walked in, and as soon as he entered the screening hall, he immediately understood what the conductor said, because he could count the people watching the movie with one hand, and there was a couple sitting in the auditorium. Selfless kisses in the corner, not caring what is playing on the screen.

Although Cameron knew that the quality and artistic value of a movie cannot be measured by the audience and the box office, the scene in front of him still lowered his expectations for the movie to a certain extent, so he went to the last row and sat down, just at the Behind three young men sitting side by side.

The three young men brought two barrels of popcorn and each had a glass of Coke, discussing something cheerfully.The two boys on the left and the right seem to be more familiar, and their personalities are more cheerful and outgoing. Compared with them, the one in the middle is much calmer.But after all, he was still a teenager. With the encouragement of his friends, the black-haired boy in the middle gradually let go. He leaned into the ear of the blond boy on the right, and the two of them laughed together.

The one on the left looks bigger, seeing the two friends laughing together, pretending to be angry, "That's not funny, Matt, I just fell into fake plasma."

"No, it's not just fake plasma." The middle one said with a smile, "And the actress who played the corpse was there, and she just happened to have nothing..."

"Hey!"

Following the shy and angry cry of the boy on the left, his two friends laughed together again.

"Oh, God……"

It is well known that Cameron has extremely high requirements in film shooting, and was once called a "tyrant on the set", but they don't know that Cameron also has extremely high requirements for the experience of watching movies. He doesn't want himself to be enjoying or studying movies. was interrupted, and the three boys in front of him clearly offended him.

In view of the empty seats everywhere in the auditorium, Cameron chose to sit down in another seat, but the moment he got up, the black-haired boy in the middle of the front smiled and said a word, and it was this sentence that made Cameron Long sat down again.

He heard the boy say—

"It's this part, because of that forty, Nolan asked me to retake it 14 times."

what happened?

Cameron took a closer look with the light of the big screen, and the black-haired boy in the middle could be who else it was if it wasn't Gaspar.
