Chapter 8: madman genius and madman genius

"CUT! Take a 20-minute break!"

Sitting in front of the camera capture screen, Dunn looked serious.

Kate was sweating in a hurry, she has been NG seven times in a row! She hurriedly trotted over and asked nervously, "Dang En, what did I do wrong?"

Dunn cast a gentle smile, "Kate, you did a good job, it's my problem, go and touch up your makeup."

The main producers, assistant directors, and core staff of the crew all ran over one after another. Grant asked, "Dawn, is there any problem?"

Tang En pointed to the shot taken in front of the screen and shook his head repeatedly, "This is not the effect I want, I can't say it for a while, but this shot is not beautiful enough!"

This group of shots is the film's first close-up of the "Titanic", supplemented by the beautiful image of the heroine "Ruth" standing on the bow. She wore a rose-colored top hat and a long skirt with a white and red corset, which showed the beauty and grace of the noble girl a hundred years ago.

It's just... Dunn always felt something was wrong.

He has indeed watched "Titanic" many times, but his head is not a computer, so he can remember the general plot, and many details are not clear at all.

"But... this is already good."

Several assistant directors looked hesitant and did not understand Dunn's thoughts.

"James, what do you think?"

Tang En sighed for a long time. It was really impossible, so he could only pass by. It's just that this is a set of opening shots, which is very important. Although the time is very short, it is a classic scene that can shock people's hearts. Tang En is not willing to be too indulgent.

James Cameron has been silently pondering and thinking for a long time before finally opening his eyes, revealing two traces of light, "Hat! It's the hat!"

Tang En was startled, and then an excited smile appeared on his face, "Yes, it's a hat! Kate's hat is too restrictive. Take it off. Her brown hair is the real beauty of art!"

He finally discovered the odd point. It turned out that Kate Winslet in the original book didn't wear that beautiful but unsightly princess hat at all.

Dunn inherited Cameron's professional skills. He believed that if he NG dozens of times, he would definitely be able to reflect the problem.

It's just that Cameron, who is obsessed by the authorities and bystanders, and who no longer undertakes the task of directing, discovered this in advance. Of course, this will greatly advance the shooting schedule and reduce the shooting funds.

However, when Dunn and Cameron reached an agreement, they immediately aroused strong opposition from female makeup artist Deborah Scott!

"This is absolutely not possible! A noble woman a hundred years ago had to wear a hat and take it off when she went out. This is very rude and shameful!"

Tang En said with a smile: "Ruth was originally a rebellious girl, otherwise she wouldn't fall in love with a little bastard, would she?"

"No! What she rebels against is the oppression of human nature. Whether or not she wears a hat does not affect her character at all."

Deborah Scott is a respectable stylist, her styling adds a lot of light to the movie, and she is the real hero behind the scenes.

Dunn didn't want to quarrel with her, so he looked at Cameron with a smile, "James, the task is up to you!"

Cameron shrugged, and then had a heated argument with Deborah.

…

Ten minutes later, Dunn threw Kate's hat directly into the trash.

This time, the shooting went well.

Inside the crew, the cast and crew looked at each other, and among the surprises, there was more suspicion.

Producer and director, what happened to these two?

When they were in Los Angeles, the two went head-to-head with Maimang, and many "battles" broke out. The intensity of the quarrel made many unrelated people tremble with fear.

But after coming to Rosarito, the two seem to have reached a certain tacit understanding, like the closest friends, the cooperation...it's perfect!

Last time, Dunn was leading the filming of a scene in which Leonardo smoked, which was strongly opposed by many production staff.

"Titanic" has such a large investment, and it is destined to be rated PG or PG13 in the future.

There will be a large number of children watching movies all over the world, and the male protagonist will probably bring a bad atmosphere through the scenes of smoking and playing cool.

However, Dunn believes that it is the coolest and most common thing for a gangster a hundred years ago to have a cigarette in his mouth, and the history of the past cannot be changed because of the thoughts of contemporary people.

Cameron strongly supports this idea, and believes that it is "an idea that only the most outstanding directors have."

This time, because of the heroine's hat, Cameron and Dunn teamed up again, with the authority of the producer and director, and pushed through many obstacles.

And the effect of the shooting is indeed admirable and amazing!

…

The filming of the film is a jumping type. The next set of shots is also shot outside the big ship. It tells that "Jack" met the noble girl "Ruth" and brought her to the bow to experience a different life.

And director Dunn Walker, with his fantastic imagination, put forward a set of shocking scenes that shocked the entire crew—

"Leon, you're spitting down here! Yes, it's an interesting thing. You try to teach Kate how to spit, and then spit together. This is a secret to the sublimation of your relationship."

As soon as Tang En's voice fell, everyone was stunned!

Spit?

What a joke!

This kind of "disgusting" thing, let alone the aristocratic woman "Ruth" would not do it, even the little gangster "Jack" shouldn't do such shameless nonsense!

This is pure nonsense!

"Dawn, this idea is so ridiculous, it will seriously affect the aesthetics of the movie!" The always gentle producer Lei Sancheni was rarely serious.

Several assistant directors also discouraged them one after another. They must delete this scene and perform "spitting" on the big screen for fans. This is too obscene to film art.

Grant Hill said solemnly: "Don, you can't do this! "Titanic" tells about beautiful love, not this kind of farce."

Dunn's face was a little ugly. When he looked up, he found Leonardo and Kate, and their faces were even more ugly.

"You two don't want to act like this?"

Leonardo took the lead and said, "Yes, Dunn, I don't know what you think, but doing this... is even more extreme than the smoking scene."

Kate Winslet, a girl in her early twenties, is naturally unwilling to perform such a serious slander of her image, which is even more exaggerated than a **** scene, struggling to say: "Dawn, I..."

"Forget it, I see." Dunn shook his head, sighed, and turned to look at a group of onlookers, "Do you all agree?"

Everyone's opinions were surprisingly unanimous, and they all nodded.

Dunn couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This is really against the whole group. I really don't know how much pressure Cameron had to bear when he filmed "Titanic".

This group of shots... is definitely one of the most classic shots in the history of movies, Dunn was deeply impressed!

"James, what do you think?"

No way, Dunn set his eyes on Cameron.

Cameron gave him a complicated look and heaved a sigh of relief, "Don, even though I'm very reluctant to admit it, I have to say, you fucking... You are really a genius! An unparalleled genius!"

He was so excited that he even uttered swear words.

Tang En said in surprise: "So, do you support me?"

Cameron said sternly: "I support you 100%! Dunn, your unrestrained imagination and magical creativity are amazing! You will definitely become a world-class director. For this, I am very convinced! "

Grant was a little dumbfounded, "Jammie, you... Isn't this a joke?"

Cameron shook his head and said solemnly: "Grant, you need a deeper understanding. Can you imagine what effect this group of shots will have if they are released?"

"It will definitely be criticized by the media and film critics." Grant said bitterly.

Cameron shook his head, "Maybe another word would be more appropriate, yes..."

"It's a sensation!"

Tang En suddenly interjected, with great aura, as confident as ever.

…

The restaurant of "Titanic" was full of cast members, and the lunch on this day was very rich.

Grant Hill took out a bottle of red wine in an unruly manner, and poured a glass for Dunn and Cameron himself.

"Grant, we have to film in the afternoon!" Dunn said with a half-smile.

"Just a drink and toast to the two of you." Grant said very formally, not joking at all, "You two...one is a genius like a lunatic, and the other is a lunatic genius. Hehe, to be honest, I used to I don't have much confidence in this project, but not in the future, you two... are Titanic's best hope!"

In fact, it's not just Grant Hill's feeling alone, many people have this illusion.

The combination of James Cameron and Dunn Walker has created one wonderful shot after another, and they are the best partners! If they can continue to cooperate sincerely, then this movie is really likely to be a great success.

Cameron nodded and raised a glass to Dunn, "Young man, you did a great job!"

Dunn smiled restrainedly, clinking his glasses lightly, "You're not bad, James, I hope we can continue to work together to make this film well and present a different Titanic to fans all over the world!"

"I believe that this will be a great work!"

Grant Hill was in high spirits, looking at the vicissitudes of Cameron's bearded face and Dunn's youthful vigor, he felt a lot.

"Maybe...they are the leaders of future Hollywood commercial films!"

Grant took a sip, his eyes deep.

However, at this moment, there were several screams of pain in the restaurant, Tang En's expression changed, and when he looked around, he saw that two staff members were foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground.

"Someone was poisoned!"

Dunn was shocked and shouted loudly.
