Vol 2 Chapter 66: Rosarito's set (6,000 words)

The plane landed slowly in Santa Rosalia, Mexico. After reaching the designated position, the door was opened. Angela set foot on Mexican land accompanied by Spello and Po Guanshui.
From the gangway, the car sent by the crew has been parked nearby. Two people came to pick her up, one was the driver and the other was James ’s assistant named Matthew White. He had seen it several times in James ’s studio before. .
"Welcome you, Miss Angela!" Matthew thought with a smile, the girl held out her hand.
"I'm glad to see you, Mr. Matthew." Angela shook hands with him. Her hair was ponytail dangling from her head, and there was a stream on her right face, which looked very beautiful.
"To be honest, this is my first visit to Mexico. It doesn't look much different from the cities in California." Angela took a pergola and looked around. The greenness was still very good, and she could feel a refreshing sea breeze. It's very different from the desert and cactus you see on TV.
"That's because it's the Southern California Peninsula. The climate is very similar to California. It's rainy and the temperature difference between the four seasons is not big. Therefore, if you cross the bay from Santa Rosalia and enter the interior of Mexico, I found it different. "Matthew opened the door for her as he said.
After the three people got on the bus in turn, the car pulled out of the airport and headed to Rosarito on the north. The journey on the road took more than an hour. When it arrived in town, it was already around 3pm, although the weather was not like It is usually as sunny as it is, but there is another taste, especially when you come to the beach, the three-dimensional feeling formed by the sun shining through the clouds is really beautiful.
The "Titanic" crew took up about 40 acres of filming site on the beach of Rosarito, and can be seen parked in the sea from a distance-or stranded on the beach 1: 1 That huge model of the Titanic.
"In fact, we only completed the right half. In this way, we had to shoot with opposite text props, and then turn the film upside down, and all the props had to be reversed." Matthew opened the door for the girl, "This can save costs. If the Titanic is completely copied 1: 1, Fox will definitely go crazy."
"I can totally imagine Mr. James privately blaming the Fox board for being a ghost," Angela said sternly. The place where he got off was completely copied into the location of Southampton's wharf. Currently, there is only some work. People are here. In addition to maintaining the set scenery, you must stop those curious. If you want to find out the local tourists, although these people add a lot of trouble, it is relatively easy to recruit crowd actors.
"Please go this way. I'm taking a photo in the boat recently." Led by Matthew. Angela and his party came to the model ship, and had to say that James had a large hand. In front of the 1: 1 model ship, it is entirely conceivable how big the Titanic was. The girl still remembers the beginning of the movie. At that moment, How small the undulating fishing boat was in the waves that Titanic lined up. Unfortunately, this represented the highest level of industrial civilization at that time. The ship sailed to the sea for the first time. I do n’t know if it should be regrettable or ironic.
I came down to the first class along the gangway, and those scenes copied in the classic decoration of the luxury zone at the time made everyone couldn't help but slap their tongues-if you ignore the frame-only places.
It is indeed the director who burned money. The girl defamated in her belly while walking, which took about a few minutes. When I arrived in the first-class banquet hall, I could hear James's loud voice outside the door: "The shooting angle is wrong, understand! Don't let me repeat it! Don't make this mistake again!"
There are probably dozens of actors in the banquet hall, mass actors and main actors, and almost 100 people are working together. In addition to Leonardo playing Jack and Rachel playing Ruth, Angela also recognized several "old faces" in the main actors, such as the Titanic chief designer Thomas Land, and Lou Silk's mother, and the fat lady who was ridiculed by Ruth's mother as the upstart, dug a gold mine. Girls have forgotten their names. But I still remembered what they looked like, but it surprised her. The actor who played Carl was not the one in his memory. He was a completely unknown person. It was amazing.
All the actors were all dressed at this time. Men were dressed in suits and bow ties, and women were dressed in beautiful evening dresses. The dining table around was full of all kinds of food. The brightly-lit ballroom looked gorgeous and Extravagance, obviously, was filming the scene in which Carl was entertaining Jack.
Matthew walked over and whispered a few words beside James. He nodded and looked at Angela in the direction of Matthew's finger. He made a few gestures to the girl, presumably, he said: "We are going to shoot now, Let's talk later.
Angela nodded, and found a hidden spot to sit down and watch them shoot. She wanted to say hello to Rachel, but in the end, she felt complicated about Rachel and resisted. , Attraction, jealousy, curiosity, wanting to know, etc., maybe it's because Kate never answered her question?
"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, all of you!" The deputy director shouted loudly at this moment, and the actor returned to where he was supposed to stay immediately, followed by the diary and tapped on the small wooden board: "Game 43 56 Curtain, start shooting! "
Soon, the actors entered their respective roles. At the banquet, Ruth's mother implicitly asked Jack questions ironically, and Jack responded witly and aroused the resonance of others, which made Ruth treat him more. Have a good impression.
Everyone is doing well. Rachel explained Ruth's implicit curiosity, like and appreciation of Jack very well. I believe that as a newcomer, she may have suffered a lot. James is not The guy who can live with the lens.
Angela glanced at the film tyrant secretly. He was sitting on the director's chair, looking at the monitor from time to time and looking at the center of the venue. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but seemed satisfied. Without waiting for the girl to look away, he suddenly frowned, and shouted, "cu!"
Everyone stopped suddenly and looked at the director in unison. As soon as James frowned, he knew that someone was going to be unlucky. James stood up with a somber face and walked quickly to the dining table. Pick up the fork and take a closer look. Then he picked up a table knife, after watching several dishes in a row. He finally turned around: "Alan!"
"What's the matter, sir?" A small figure emerged from the crowd immediately, and came to James Land with doubt and confusion and more tension.
"What's going on ?! Why aren't Titanic's letters engraved on the handles of all tableware?" James looked at his prop master sternly. "According to the information that has been checked. All tableware on luxury passenger ships will The name of the ship is engraved, why not here? "
Alan's lips pursed, and he seemed to want to justify, but at the end he nodded and confessed: "I think we ignored it, Mr. Cameron, sorry."
James covered his mouth and looked coldly at the props master for a few minutes, and finally waved his hand: "This shot is invalid, contact the manufacturer to make tableware again, and wait for the new tableware to be retaken!"
No one said anything. Immediately did what James Land said, but someone couldn't sit still. ^^-& Net--
"Wait! James! Wait!" A guy in a suit collar shouted as he separated the crowd into the studio. Full of anxiety, "You can't do this! Damn! Do you know how much this costs ?! You asked for a custom made from a good tableware manufacturer for Titanic, and then got the British, and one set is two sets, plus Transportation costs, it will cost hundreds of thousands! Add these ... "
He pointed at the fine food on the table, and was a little bit anxious: "All the food will have to be remade, and it will take tens of thousands, or even a dozen nights, because there is no letter on the tableware handle, all will be wasted Nearly a million. It's a of a god! "
"Well. Mr. Bruce, please don't point at my job!" James looked at each other coldly. "All you have to do is report my progress to Fox and that's it!"
"But I also need to report your financial situation to the company!" Bruce finally couldn't help but called out, "Last fashion incident! Last time the ladder incident! And last time ... you already You've done it more than once, James! If you go on like this, no amount of money will be enough for you to splurge! "
But James Cameron ignored the other party and waved to the deputy director: "Igor, let everyone rest for 15 minutes, and then move the venue to third class, we will then go there to shoot!"
"No, no, no! This is not finished! The part of the schedule is not finished yet! You can't leave here!" Bruce yelled, but nobody paid attention to him, whether it was the staff or the actor, they were orderly. Go out.
"Hell! Hell!" Fox's representative yelled several times, then begged to look at James, "Please! James! Please think about it! The audience will care if the tableware in the movie is engraved with the Titanic The letter ?! "
"But I care." James glanced at each other calmly. "If you want to make a perfect movie, you have to care!" Then, he patted his shoulder and walked out.
Bruce stayed in place for a long while before crying like a wolf: "I will! I will report everything that happened today to the board without a word! I swear!"
Angela can be seen as what is called dictatorship and what is called a film tyrant, but ... this is so handsome! It would be great to be like this when you are a director, but ...
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. It was already said when the film was shot. Everything on the set was left to Mr. James. This was written into the contract, unless 20th Century Fox wanted the 200 million. Invest in water. "Matthew explains how the girls are worried.
"Wow, the investment has been increased to 200 million?" Although knowing that this has not yet reached the upper limit, Angela still couldn't help feeling a small emotion: "It is indeed a big director, and you can easily get the investment. "
"Of course," Matthew said with pride. "Although James said on the set, he had perfect requirements for the film. Do you know that we have made some wrecks of the Titanic on the set and shot some shots? James has launched several times to direct the shooting himself. He got pneumonia for this, but that's why he still insisted on shooting because he wanted to make a perfect movie! Based on this, Fox would have to add another 100 million investment! For Bruce. I think the boss should let him Substitution of Fox! "
Angela looked at this assistant dumbly, obviously James who picked up the guide tube was not just annoying. Some people also worshiped him crazy, to be honest, if there were no people as passionate as him, it would be really difficult to say what the Titanic would be in the end. By the way, if that's right, Fox will at least add 50 million more investment. Would you like to find a way to insert yourself? This is a business that earns money without losing money.
In thoughts, they had arrived on the deck of the first class. James was lowering his head in a circle in the open space, holding a cigar in his mouth, but it was not lit, as if thinking about something.
"Hi. James." Angela greeted.
"Hi, genius Angela." James raised his head and responded with a smile, completely different from the way he said before.
The girl rolled her eyes: "Can't you stop saying that word?"
"Well, Angie," "Tyrant" smiled, "I hope my invitation didn't bother you."
"It's nothing, tomorrow is the weekend anyway, I just need to go back Sunday night or Monday morning." Angela said, gestured to Spiro, who immediately took out a document from his briefcase. Handed over to the girl.
"So fast? You don't know what I need you to do." James was slightly surprised.
"How could I not know, I'm not a fool." Angela said, passing the documents in her hand to the other side.
"This is it?" James didn't know why.
"What you want. Didn't you just call me for this?" The girl said with a smile.
"Really?" Mr. Tyrant took it, looking dubious. Soon his doubts turned into surprise, and he waved his hands slightly. He snorted intermittently.
"I think this is more appropriate for you to judge." Angela's voice rang again, James raised his head, and the other was waving at him with a sample instrument, a bit like a piccolo, but obviously played upright.
"This is an Irish whistle," the girl explained, "In fact, the Scottish bagpipes should have been used to play the main melody, but that thing is a little bit bigger, so I use this instead. The whistle sounds better than the other instruments. "
James didn't say anything, and made an inviting gesture. Angela smiled, put the whistle near her mouth, and blew it softly, the whimper sounded softly and ethereally.
In this moving musical sound, the director suddenly felt that old Ruth was sitting in front of herself, looking at herself with a smile, and telling the story of traveling through time and space. With the sound of the flute, the pictures that have been taken and those that have not yet been rotated, and they are constantly shown in the head like a movie, and the flute is getting louder and louder, like the Titanic trying hard, but still Hit the iceberg and had to sink into the sea, and the desperate lovers eventually had to live and die.
It was finally finished, there was silence all around, and after a long time, the sound popped loudly, and then more and more everywhere there was such a sound, the staff on the deck and the corridor, and the crowd of actors were applauding Come, there are still many whistles.
"I have to admit that this piece is perfect and fits well with the movie I imagined." James, who had come back to God, couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you for your compliment." Angela yelled a fluke. She is a lonely instrument like a whistle, but she only knows a lot. If she had n’t practiced many times at home before, she would have been perfect if it was n’t forever. The performance just now will definitely not have that effect.
"This is the theme song I wrote." The girl blushed, panting.
"But it's not the same as the one on the score." James flipped through the documents in his hand and looked at Angela.

Of course it ’s different. That ’s what I ’m going to say. I ’m just playing the ground, you know. Almost all the soundtrack of the movie has a keynote melody, and the keynote melody of Titanic is this theme song. From Here I can write songs suitable for various scenes. "Angela said confidently.
James looked at her for a long while, then nodded and shook his head: "I admit that this theme song is very suitable for movies, but you know, this does not mean that you can make the perfect soundtrack I want."
"So you sent me here, didn't you?" The girl wasn't discouraged. "I think you must have made this decision after watching me performing at Mr. Perlman's concert on satellite TV, right?"
The director touched him and he had a beard. He neither admitted nor denied, and said after looking at his watch, "The rest time is almost over. I have to go to the third class to continue shooting. If you like, you can ask Matthew to arrange your stay in our town. The hotel I rented later, I will let you take the previous [master tapes of the filming you. You can see. "
The last sentence completely exposed his intentions, and Angela smiled slightly: "I promise, you won't regret letting me come to the music place, if possible, I want to go to the third class with you to see your shooting."
"Of course no problem." James nodded.
When they came to the third class, some of the mass actors who were just celebrity gentlemen had changed their clothes and became third-class passengers, talking in pairs.
James didn't gather people to shoot in the first place, but pulled the associate director, lighting engineer, photographer and others to discuss what was going on.
Angela didn't bother him, hesitated afterwards. Walking towards Lectra in the corner, she dangled her hair. She was in a low-cut corset with a black lace edge. Fengyun's figure looked very flavorful. She was talking to Leonardo. The other party changed her white shirt and strap, and her big back was combed back. It was really handsome. Typical To small white face. In the previous life, she had thought about it without malice. If he needed it, he could only go to Thailand instead of South Korea.
But it seems that Rachel's face is not so good. Is it because of Leonardo's hand? Is that ... a lizard? !! Angela suddenly stopped. There is something in my heart. She was wondering if by the time she would say hello, Rachel had noticed her.
She was unbelievable at first. After blinking, confirming that he was not mistaken, he looked surprised, and immediately walked to Angela, hesitant to hug her: "Angela, are you?"
"Hi, Rachel." Now that it was recognized, there was nothing to hide. The girl stepped forward and hugged each other, "How are you?"
"I didn't expect to see you here. Why did you come here?" Rachel asked cheerfully.
"You forgot, I'm the writer of Titanic." Angela smiled slightly.
"Excuse me, is this Miss Angela Mason?" The voice came from behind Rachel, naturally the handsome Leonardo.
"Hello, Mr. DiCaprio."
"Just call me Leonardo or Leon."
"Well, Leon, you can also call me Angela." The girl smiled and shook hands with the other person, then frowned at the lizard on his other hand.
"Don't worry, it's called Kaka, it's a pet lizard, it doesn't bite," Leonardo explained.
"I know, but I'm not very interested in this kind of pet, or I'm a little scared of her," Angela explained, and then changed the topic: "I see a good relationship between you and Rachel, you talk very Come? "
"Leon is a very clever guy. His previous role is very different from this one, but he can still enter the role very quickly." Rachel said beside him that he didn't know how to perform, if it was to improve The fastest is Rachel. Leonard laughed, shaking his hand.
Have they started touting each other? Angela glanced at Rachel in secret, don't forget you and Kate!
She deliberately asked, "Yes, has the film been painted in the bedroom?"
This remark made the two in front of him slightly embarrassed.
"Yes, it has already been filmed." Rachel recovered first.
"Really? Then can I look at the famous painting?" The girl bit the word "famous" heavily, which again embarrassed the two in front of her. This time Leonardo recovered first: "I think it should be OK. I'll ask Allen."
Then he hurried away, and then quickly returned with a picture book.
"Thank you." Angela took it with a smile. It seemed that there was nothing between them. She opened the picture book. The pose of Rachel was not much different from Winslet, but ...
"The drawing is very accurate and detailed, but ..." Angela looked up, raised the album and raised it, and said in verdict: "It sucks!"
