Chapter 10: want to cry without tears

Time flies, it has been more than half a month.

With the sincere cooperation of Cameron, the filming went very smoothly. In more than half a month, most of the scenes in Rosarito have been filmed.

However, for the remaining few scenes, Dunn set aside a full month of shooting time.

Because the next scene is the core of the whole movie, it is the soul that makes fans buy tickets to the cinema and shed tears willingly.

Play in the water!

Throughout the whole "Titanic", there are not many scenes in the water, but it is the essence of the whole movie. And filming in water is extremely difficult, challenging and challenging.

Even though a month of shooting time was reserved, Dunn did not guarantee that it would be completed smoothly. Cameron even believes that without 50 days of shooting, it is impossible to complete this part of the scene.

Dunn sighed. What he was worried about was not these, but whether Kate Winslet could resist.

There are several parts to playing in the water. Some of them are shot at fixed points in the swimming pool. This is easy to handle. Just inject warm water directly into the small water tank.

But most of the scenes require a lot of water!

For example, the scene where the sea water pours into the cabin requires at least three full containers of water. Where does the crew go to get so much warm water?

It is now October, and the temperature of the river water is only over 20 degrees. No one can stand it in cold water of this temperature for a long time! Especially the heroine "Ruth" has a lot of such scenes.

After thinking for a long time, Dunn decided to start simple and shoot in the swimming pool. The scene is that after the big boat broke, "Jack" and "Ruth" were floating on the icy sea, parting of life and death.

This play requires strong acting skills and soul collision, and the ground-shaking sparks of love burst out in the icy waters.

Fortunately, the swimming pool is warm.

…

"Jack, I love you!"

"Don't be like this, there's no goodbye. Hold on, do you understand?"

"I'm cold."

"Ruth, you're sure to get out of trouble, to have a lot of children, to watch them grow up, and then to live in peace...you're going to heaven in a warm, comfortable bed, not here, not tonight, not dying like me, you Understand?"

"I... my body is already numb."

Hearing this, Tang En sighed, "Stop! Come here first and rest for ten minutes."

In the whole crew, the atmosphere is very serious.

Dunn was wearing a thick waterproof suit and carried the camera wrapped in the waterproof suit on his shoulders. He slowly climbed up to the swimming pool, looked at Cameron with a gloomy face, and shook his head.

This shot has been filmed for six hours!

According to Dunn's understanding, it's best to have a long, stable shot, freeze on this life-and-death lover, and use the most objective attitude to examine the love between "Jack" and "Ruth" from the perspective of a bystander, rather than participating in Too many trick clips.

Generally speaking, this is a common method used by European literary films to express the sublimation theme.

It's a pity that the shooting effect is not very good now.

That kind of icy and biting feeling, the sadness of life and death, the reluctance to part... Whether it's Leonardo or Kate, the emotions are not well expressed.

"How are you, are you okay?"

Cameron came over with a concerned expression on his face.

Leonardo and Kate's performances were hard, but director Dunn was equally hard!

He carried a 20-pound camera and stood with them in the swimming pool all the time. Even if it was warm water, such a powerful load would be enough to crush anyone.

Dunn shook his head, knowing that Cameron could help with the shooting, but he had to refuse, with a firm expression, "If I, the director, can't hold on, how can I ask my actors?"

Cameron patted him on the shoulder and said in approval, "Dawn, well said!"

…

"My body is already numb."

"Winning the ticket...is the luckiest thing in my life, it's a real honor...it's an honor for me to meet you. Ruth, you must promise me, promise me to live, you can't give up...no matter what happens No matter what the circumstances are, Ruth, promise me, promise me..."

"I promise you."

"do not forget…"

"I will never forget! Jack, I will never forget!"

"CUT!"

Tang En's face was not good-looking, and his tone was a little heavy, "Leon, you have to remember that you are about to die, every word of yours is the last word in your life, and you should put the solemnity of your life on the verge of death. The performance with the sense of holiness is just simply powerless, this performance is too superficial!"

Leonardo was very ashamed, "I'm sorry, Dunn, I'll try to understand."

"Kate, remember what I said? You have to express your emotions as complex as possible, you have to have fear, you have to be sad, you have to work hard to live, and to fulfill the firm belief that Jack entrusted to you! But what did I see? Stupid, dull, lifeless!"

It was the first time Dunn said such harsh words to her. Kate Winslet bit her lip tightly and refused to make a sound.

"Forget it, go ashore." Dunn paused and turned his head, "I'm sorry, Kate, I take back what I just said, don't take it to heart."

Kate forced a smile, which was ugly.

On the shore, Dunn announced an important decision to everyone, "Fix the sink on the west side. After half an hour, we'll go there and shoot!"

"Ah? Isn't this set of shots taken?"

Tang En raised his brows, "Who said we wouldn't shoot?"

"Didn't you say... ah! Dunn, you are going to shoot this set of scenes in cold water!" An assistant director suddenly realized and exclaimed.

Dunn nodded heavily, "I do think so. This shot is very important, it is the sublimation of the soul of the whole movie, we must be perfect!"

For some unimportant literary dramas, in order to catch up with the schedule, we have to live by it.

But such an important lens must not be missed!

Leonardo and Kate fell silent when they heard the news, and there was a kind of fear in their eyes.

They've had enough of filming in warm water, if it's cold...

can not imagine!

…

The New York studio where Jon Landau was sent by Grant Hill naturally became the top leader here.

The New York studio is mainly green screen shooting, and the scheduled shooting cycle is 15 days.

At this moment, Jon Landau and his confidant assistant Raymond were in the office, whispering something.

"We've already made contact. It doesn't matter whether the wire breaks or the induction fails. In short, we have already conceived more than a dozen plans to create obstacles for that kid."

Raymond blinked his left eye a few times in succession, and a cold smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Jon Landau tapped on the table rhythmically with one hand, "You control this matter yourself, you must be foolproof, and don't be stingy with the hush money. This time, I must teach him a profound lesson!"

As he spoke, Jon Landau was a little angry.

Back then, when he was in the studio in Los Angeles, that kid Tang En scolded himself in front of everyone in the crew. Did he really think he was the director?

Raymond smiled, "Don't worry, I promise to give that kid a memory that will last a lifetime."

At this moment, Jon Landau's agent called.

"Jon, something happened!" The agent's voice was urgent.

"What's wrong?" Jon Landau looked puzzled.

The agent held back his anger and said, "Fox Pictures just notified me that it has terminated the employment contract with you!"

"What?" Jon Landau's expression changed suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, "This is impossible, they have no reason to do this!"

The agent said solemnly, "Jon, did you do something wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Jon Landau felt a little guilty.

Economic Humanity: "The people at Fox said... that you have seriously affected the filming of the film, and have informed the lawyer that they will terminate the contract with you immediately."

Jon Landau was a little dumbfounded, what's the situation?

He wanted to create difficulties for Dunn's shooting, slow down his shooting progress, and prevent the movie from being released in the summer of next year, so as to dampen the confidence of Fox Film executives in Dunn.

However, that was just an idea, not yet implemented!

"It's impossible, they have no evidence, it's slander!" Jon Landau firmly believed that his plan could not be known to the people of Fox.

The agent sighed: "Jon, I don't know what you did, but Fox's people are obviously really angry. The lawyer has already sent me the termination contract."

"They can't do this!" Jon Landau couldn't help shouting, "I didn't do anything, they have no evidence! They can't unilaterally tear up the agreement without any reason!"

The agent felt helpless, "Jon, have you forgotten the contents of the contract?"

"Um?"

"Fox signed the contract with you. The fixed budget of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "Titanic" is 85 million US dollars, and a fluctuation of no more than 10% is allowed. If the budget is seriously exceeded, Fox Pictures has the right to at any time. Terminate the contract."

Jon Landau was suddenly dumbfounded!

He really didn't expect that Fox Pictures would come to the bottom of the pot!

It's just... why?

Jon Landau was puzzled.

With his current status and fame in Hollywood, even if he really made some minor mistakes, it would be impossible to terminate the contract in such a rude way.

No, there must be something happening here that he doesn't know about!

Jon Landau was not stupid, he pondered for a while, "Where's Jamie? Has he been fired too?"

The agent denied: "No, James is still filming in Mexico."

There was a buzz in Jon Landau's mind, and he suddenly felt a whirlwind.

The culprit of the budget overrun was not fired, but his assistant was fired. Is there any reason?

However, such a result confirmed the judgment of Jon Landau just now.

Someone is deliberately targeting themselves!

Is it Dunn Walker?

Jon Landau's body became cold. He had a conflict with Dunn, but Dunn... It's impossible for him to be so narrow-minded that he directly put pressure on Fox's executives to fire him with a tough stance, right?

"Paul, there is something strange in this matter, you help me find out!"

Jon Landau couldn't help but feel the pain.

On his side, he is also interested in designing, and intends to trick Dunn Walker. Unexpectedly, he turned around and received a dismissal contract.

Why is this?

Jon Landau wanted to cry but had no tears.
