703. Chapter 703 The 703rd game is the most difficult to finish
Gary Lough was caught off guard, and a "ah" screamed out. The wine splashed into his eyes, making him feel so uncomfortable that tears flowed out. This scream also made all the senior executives of the production company and theater chain look over.
Wagner was stunned when he looked at Tom Cruise, who was chatting with Spielberg, rushed over and asked them what was going on.
"Lei, why do you do this?" Wagner asked, staring at Lei Ting, who was holding an empty wine glass with a cool expression.
"Look at the side." Lei Ting signaled her to pay attention to her around her expressionlessly:
"People in theaters are paying attention to this. I'm sure that the 'famous player theater' has invested in the six major sides. If we promised him to reduce the share, then he would take this contract to other companies in the Century Cinema Alliance to let others know that we are in a desperate situation. By then, before "Young Pi" is released, our theater alliance will be defeated."
Wagner and Tom Cruise immediately understood that Lei Ting's strength was what others saw here. Now they were surrounded by enemies. Once they showed weakness, these guys would pounce on them. Now the stronger they were, the more they showed the confidence of Black Pearl Company, and they could stabilize the situation.
After wiping his hands for a while, Gary Lof recovered. He looked at the people next to him with a smile and looked at him in a embarrassed look. He was embarrassed and angry. He pointed at Lei Ting and cursed out of control: "You damn Chinese ****!!" He rushed up and waved his fists and wanted to beat Lei Ting.
The tall Wagner's first reaction was to block Lei Ting's face to protect her~~
But before Gary Louf could swing his fist, Tom Cruise had already come over with a quick step, and a "bang" hit him in the face. The bearded man immediately let out another muffled groan and fell to the ground, and blood from his nose flowed out on the spot.
"Call an ambulance. If you want to sue me, please call my lawyer." Tom Cruise pointed to the employee of the "famous player theater" next to him, and threw a card of his lawyer. In order to shoot the fighting skills trained by "Iron Man" came in handy at this time.
Seeing this scene, the wife of Warner President Jeff Robinoff, not far away, stood up first and applauded "slap". Then the wives of all the senior executives and other ladies applauded Tom Cruise's heroic behavior.
Obviously, the hero of "Iron Man" saved the beauty and won the hearts of all women. The men at the scene could only shrug helplessly and watched Tom Cruise make a big splash and envious. Everyone knew in their hearts that Gary Lof could only admit that he was unlucky this time...
Even if this matter is sued to court, Tom Cruise's heroic behavior of saving the beauty will provide community service for a few days at most, which will enhance his "hero" image... And Gary Lof's stupid behavior leads to the loss of his company's image value, which he may not be able to afford...
Tom Cruise smiled and accepted the applause of the ladies present, then turned around and squeezed his eyes at Wagner and Lei Ting, "How is it, I've shown the strength of our company this time."
"I really don't know what to say about you." Wagner saw that Tom Cruise's hands were bleeding, and quickly took out a tissue to hold him down the wound, muttering: "You men, one of you two is like this..."
"Hey, I can't let Director Lee's beloved woman get hurt." Tom Cruise smiled masculinely.
"Do you think you helped me?" Lei Ting, who was frosty, said coldly while holding the ceramic dining plate in her hand and putting it back on the table: "You helped him."
Tom Cruise and Wagner were both stunned. Neither of them saw when Lei Ting picked up the plate...
Seeing everyone around him looking at this side with complicated eyes, Wagner sighed and smiled bitterly: "Okay, now we only have one way, I can only pray that Director Lee can make a masterpiece..."
Yes, Black Pearl Company currently needs a great masterpiece... But watching this short film seems to have no hope at all.
Wagner didn't know how much Li Xiaole himself paid for this movie.
Never had a movie like this, and it required the director himself to enter the country in person so many times. For the most perfect effect, Li Xiaole plays the tiger and Sura Shama every day. The scenes in the indoor pool are fine, but it is not so easy to be on the real sea surface in the Indian Ocean.
The air in the Indian Ocean is humid and hot, and it is very greasy. Li Xiaole and Sula Shama together to refresh their deficiencies by servitude vitamin B2 and drinking wheatgrass juice.
During the filming, Li Xiaole definitely didn't drink coffee, because coffee would make his tough personality even more agitated and make the rest of the crew suffer.
During the filming process, he and Sula Martha had to face various challenges. For him, he was not used to the humid and hot air in India. He would be dizzy when he was sunny on the boat for a long time, while Sula Shama was even more afraid of seasickness. Although he was very capable, he would vomit and diarrhea once he encountered heavy storms.
The two of them gritted their teeth and persevered while shooting, and survived the 107th day of shooting. For Li Xiaole, he had to continue editing and other directorial work at night, so when Lei Ting and Wagner asked him to show a short film, he couldn't get anything out because he was just too busy... he didn't have time to do this.
And now all of this has finally come to an end. They are about to shoot the last and most difficult shot of the filming plan - the sinking of "Lancasteria".
Li Xiaole didn't want this 10,000-ton giant ship to appear like the original version, with only a dozen actors appearing. Under the cover of the darkness, he only filmed a small corner of the ship perfunctorily. He wanted to make "Lancasteria" slowly sink like "Titanic", so that the audience could feel a real shocking effect.
To achieve this effect, he invited two thousand Indian extras from Bollywood in New Delhi, just because there was a shot that required 1,500 people to run to the capsized stern at the same time, just like the real scene on a shipwreck.
During the entire process of sinking, Li Xiaole invited two-time Oscar winner Tommy Fisher to lead the lead. The physical special effects director once helped James Cameron throw trucks, bomb houses, and destroy giant wheels in "Terminator 2" and "Titanic". However, it is obvious that the difficulty of "Boy Pi" this time is more difficult than the previous two movies, making the two-time Oscar winner at a loss.
If the "Lancasteria" set is erected, the height is already higher than that of Woolworth Building in New York. The solution Li Xiaole came up with was to dig a huge deep pit in the shallow waters and then use steel cables to press "Lancasteria" into the deep pit.
During the shooting meeting, Li Xiaole drew this idea on a napkin and introduced it to Tommy Fisher:
"These cables are connected to a set of hydraulic devices that we have already customized, so that we can not only sink the set vertically, but also tend toward two different angles when sinking. The effect should be good."
"How did you think of this method?" Tommy Fisher looked surprised at the drawing, because this technology was invented by James Cameron when filming "Titanic". So far, it is still technical secrets and has not been disclosed to the public. Even Tommy Fisher himself does not know how the technical details are completed.
"I'll think about it myself." Li Xiaole pursed. This method was made public when James Cameron re-created the Titanic version a few years later. He remembered it at that time, but he never expected that he would have a day to use it himself.
"Does movie geniuses all have the same brains..." Tommy Fisher couldn't help but sigh. This was his first time discovering that there was a director in the world who could compete with James Cameron in film technology...
"What are your two lines?" Tommy Fisher looked carefully at the picture drawn on the napkin and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"This adjustment of the balance of the hull will be a buoyant movement pattern." Li Xiaole gestured with his hands and explained: "This is like the steel wire tied to the backs of the actors flying in the air in Hong Kong martial arts films."
Tommy Fisher, the physical special effects expert, was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he fully understood that Li Xiaole's method was more clever than James Cameron. He even combined Chinese movement guidance to control the human body with steel wire...
Buoyancy and gravity... Are these similar forces in the opposite directions? He used the wires of the action movie backwards, which was simply too creative~~ After Tommy Fisher figured it out, he was also applauding in his heart~
This is simply too clever. If you shoot it like this, the effect will definitely be much more realistic than "Titanic"... Thinking of this, Tommy Fisher became more excited. He seemed to realize that he might be shooting a movie that is even more grand than the box office champion movie in history...
After determining the big way to wreck the ship, we will determine the details in the shooting one by one. Among them, there are two complex shots, first of which is the shot of the stern deck capsized on the deck of the stern.
A ninety-foot-long set is fully vertical from the horizontal state, like a seesaw, and at this time Sura Shama will be jumped into the lifeboat and thrown into the sea.
