788 [Real Events]

When thinking about how to adapt the script of this movie, Luo Yuan also understood that even if he had a script, it would be difficult to directly shoot this "Titanic", just like the original "Jurassic Park".

He needs to do a lot of preliminary preparations.

In his previous life, Luo Yuan had specialized knowledge of film shooting backgrounds.

In order to shoot real locations, 20th Century Fox purchased a filming area of ​​160,000 square kilometers on the Pacific coast of Baja California, Mexico, and set up a complete film studio there. It took nearly half a year to

A photography studio the size of a small city was built in the north of Rosarito, including a complete infrastructure and multiple studios.

Through blasting, they also created two huge water tanks.

One can hold 64 million liters of water and contains a realistic reconstructed model of the Titanic. This model can rotate 270 degrees. The other can hold more than 20 million liters of water and has a first-class luxurious interior decoration.

Although the model in the large water tank was completely proportioned, Ramon had to make some compromises. For example, the lifeboat and chimney were reduced by one-tenth, some deck facilities were omitted, and a foredeck was also omitted. These were

The omitted parts were later replaced by the model

This also caused the movie to burn a lot of money.

Therefore, after the corresponding scene shooting is completed, the model ship will be dismantled and sold as scrap metal to supplement the shooting funds. The 22 million liter small water tank is equipped with a huge hydraulic device, which can be used to make

The first-class restaurant and its grand staircase sank into the water at a speed of 30 centimeters per minute. It is said that in the first test, the grand staircase broke away from its fixation, but no one was injured. The Titanic was more than 200 meters long.

When the bow of the No. 1 ship was sunk into the water, it was discovered that this part was too big. It acted like a shock absorber in the water. In order to allow it to be sunk into the water, Cameron ordered the contents to be emptied and broke it with his own hands.

opened some ship windows.

He is a hands-on director.

Later, it took several days to shoot just the sinking of a restaurant. Special powders were used on the dead bodies floating in the water. These powders crystallized after encountering water. Through these powders and on the hair and

The use of wax on the clothes made the actors look like they were frozen to death. Cameron wanted to use this film to advance the ability of visual effects to realistically simulate the functions of water...

Luo Yuan has many memories of this movie.

However, after all, he could not fully know the filming process at that time, so if he wanted to complete the movie, he really had to work hard. First of all, it was very important to purchase a location to build a scaled "Titanic"

When his script is almost completed, he will start formal production. In addition, he needs to check the information.

Previous life.

The movie about the "Titanic" hitting an iceberg and being silenced is based on real events. The gimmick of this kind of movie based on real events is still very attractive to the audience. If possible, Luo Yuan also hopes to tell the story in the movie

Combined with relevant accidents in reality, in order to increase the shock brought by the movie...

In fact, there is a lot of news related to maritime accidents.

In his previous life, Luo Yuan would watch a variety show on CCTV called "Seeing Words as Faces". More than once, there were artists who read letters written by victims of shipwrecks. These letters were so touching that just by listening to them, they could

It made people feel such despair. After listening to the reading of some letters, Luo Yuan often felt a lot of emotion. If there was an opportunity to shoot such a connected movie, he would still be very willing.

"Crackling."

Within ten minutes, everything that flashed through his mind was recorded on his computer. Luo Yuan pressed a button on the table, and soon assistant Zhao Rui opened the door and walked in: "Boss, you are looking for me."

"I want to ask you something."

Luo Yuandao: "Among the shipwrecks that occurred in the past, are there any examples that were particularly influential and caused a huge sensation at the time? Please check the information and send it to me after you find it."

"No need to look up information."

Zhao Rui said: "In the 20th century, the Pearl cruise ship was the largest passenger ship with the most luxurious internal facilities in the world at that time. After it was built, it had the reputation of being 'unsinkable'. However, ironically, it suffered a disaster on its maiden voyage.

She set off from the British port and sailed to China through many countries. When night fell, the Pearl collided with an iceberg, causing the hull to crack and the keel to be injured. In the early morning of the next day, the hull completely broke into two pieces and then sank into the ocean.

Among them, more than 2,000 passengers and more than 1,500 people died, of which only three to four hundred victims' bodies were recovered. The Pearl accident was one of the deadliest maritime disasters in peacetime.

The wreckage was not rediscovered until 1990 and is now protected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization."

Zhao Rui should have been a top student in the past.

She could recite the specific numbers clearly, but Luo Yuan's expression was slightly stunned. Perhaps it was because the original owner had not seen the relevant news, or because there was no movie showing shipwrecks in the world, so there was no such thing.

He didn't know about such a thing, but after listening to Zhao Rui's retelling, Luo Yuan felt that this was simply a different world version of "Titanic"! The silver screen,

Is this also some echo of the parallel world?

Luo Yuan's expression changed. I don't know how long it took before his eyes became firm again and he said: "If such a story is put on the screen, it should be a very shocking scene..."

"The boss's new movie?"

Zhao Rui said in surprise.

Luo Yuan nodded. In this way, the name "Titanic" cannot be used. It can be changed to another name. Anyway, the core of the story will remain the same. After thinking about it, he added: "At that time, the people on this ship

,Many people’s identities are not simple, right?”

"Yes."

Zhao Rui said: "It even includes some of the top richest people who are well-known in the world. This is one of the reasons why this accident was so shocking. However, it has been forgotten by too many people in recent years. At that time, there were people from every country on board.

, among them are mainly Chinese and British and American businessmen. The vast majority of Chinese people take this ship to go home."

Luo Yuan nodded.

Then, it is no longer realistic to completely orientalize the story, unless you give up adapting this real event and create an original "Titanic" that does not exist in this world. In this case, let the movie, like Marvel, become a fusion of East and West.
