Everyone is still worried about the legendary sinking of the Titanic. This disaster was too horrific. The sinking of the Titanic should be the most serious shipwreck in history.
"Uncle Ahua, will the boat we are traveling on also hit the glacier?"
After listening to the story of the sinking of the Titanic, Anita Mui asked in a low voice with some fear. She was now very worried that the ship she was on would also sink.
"Sister, don't worry about this! The sinking of the Titanic happened more than sixty years ago. At that time, observation was all done with the human eye. If the observer accidentally dozed off, an accident would happen.
.
Now more than 60 years have passed, and technology has become so advanced that the ship has ultrasonic waves and radar that can detect glaciers with a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Once an iceberg is detected on the course, it will call the police and the ship will avoid the iceberg in advance. Nothing will happen. Don’t worry.
Bar."
Zhang Zhonghua patiently explained to Anita Mui.
Although the movie Titanic is a classic and the Titanic shipwreck is indeed tragic, he feels that the story of the movie Titanic is completely fabricated.
What are the oral stories of survivors of the Titanic? What kind of oral stories are there? If there were survivors on the Titanic who could live to 1985, that survivor would have been a baby at the time. What kind of memory would a baby have?
Zhang Zhonghua felt that even if he did learn about it from survivors, it would be from the survivors’ memoirs, or simply a gimmick thrown by the truck driver, and he was the one who made up the story.
Zhang Zhonghua secretly scolded Cameron for being so good at making up stories. Since you, Cameron, can do it in the first grade, don't blame me for doing it in the fifteenth grade.
Zhang Zhonghua plans to write the "Titanic" novel first, which is also said to be an adaptation of the story of Titanic survivors. There were definitely survivors in 1972 than there were in 1985.
The reliability is higher.
Even if Cameron wanted to make Titanic, I would still get a piece of the pie.
The revenue of "Titanic" is not small. The film was released in America in December 1997 and earned a box office revenue of 600 million dollars in North America and a world box office revenue of 1.8 billion dollars.
This is 1.8 billion Dao Le in 1997. Not only does this number break the world record, but if the depreciation of Dao Le is included, this record is basically impossible to break. Moreover, this is also direct box office revenue. If other peripherals are included,
The income is even greater.
It is said that there were of course a lot of interesting things that happened during the filming of this movie. The most representative one was that the budget was all spent before half of the filming. After all, although Truck Driver is great at making movies, Truck Driver is really over-budget.
Not many companies can withstand this.
After Cameron completed the movie script, he first sought investment from 20th Century Fox, which he had collaborated with many times, but Fox Film Company was very entangled with Cameron's movie.
Trucker's previous movies, such as "Terminator 1-2", "The Abyss", "Alien 2", etc., are all science fiction movies, and the latest movie "True Lies" is also an action movie.
And what type is "Titanic"?
It is a disaster movie plus a romance movie. This is a completely unfamiliar field for Cameron, so 20th Century Fox doesn't know whether to invest in it.
One thing to say, if a truck driver asks them to make a science fiction movie, 20th Century Fox will definitely want to invest as much as they want. Although the truck driver is very outstanding in its ability to burn money, science fiction movies can still guarantee profits, but disaster movies and
Romance movies are too risky.
However, Fox Film Company still chose to believe in Cameron and offered him a production fee of 75 million U.S. dollars. However, under the strong request of Cameron, Fox increased the budget to 100 million U.S. dollars.
happy.
However, I was given 100 million yuan, but this little money was too much for Cameron. Cameron built a stage of about 3,000 square meters, and then directly bought 100 acres of land. Cameron wanted to build exactly the same "scaled-down version"
"The Titanic."
When 20th Century Fox saw Cameron's operation, it was immediately confused. Is it necessary to build a ship when making a disaster movie? And in order to achieve the most realistic effect, the ship must be sunk in the end? You are stupid.
?
Fox was very worried that if the movie failed, the company would be on the verge of bankruptcy, so with tears in his eyes, he found Paramount Pictures to jointly invest, and the loss was stopped in time.
Of course, 20th Century Fox later regretted it.
Paramount was also very generous to the film, and the major player, 20th Century Fox, had already been released. They could not lose much, so the production cost of the film was increased to 135 million U.S. dollars, and at the same time, the North American box office revenue was returned to Paramount.
All owned by Ramon.
And when Cameron got the funds, he completely let himself go, and let the world see the real card god. Everything must be exactly the same as what was on the ship at that time.
In order to photograph the real shipwreck, Cameron asked Fox to rent two submarines from Damao, one of only five submarines in the world at the time.
In order to be able to shoot in a deep diving environment, a camera with a titanium housing was modified and customized, and the Akela, the world's largest photography lift at the time, was also used.
How could a set of tableware not have the logo of the White Star Company? So Kashen spent 2 million dollars to redo it. It was necessary to perfectly restore the things on the ship.
DiCaprio stood on the bow of the Titanic and shouted that this shot had to be slowly pulled back to overlook the entire Titanic, so he spent 1 million dollars to create a 10-second special effect.
The consequence of Cameron's operation was that halfway through filming, the $135 million budget was spent again, so Fox once again tearfully increased the budget to $200 million, and Fox was already prepared to go bankrupt.
, continuing to add funds is just a last-ditch effort.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The final movie caused a huge sensation after its release, and it was released in theaters for nearly 300 days, earning a global box office of 1.8 billion, breaking all records.
However, the biggest beneficiary of this movie was Paramount. Although Fox made a lot of money, it almost fainted in the toilet from crying. Only Paramount was the real winner.
"Ahua, what are you thinking about?"
Lou Xiao'e asked.
"Doesn't this mention the Titanic? I'm going to write a short story about the Titanic, which can be made into a movie if I have the chance."
Zhang Zhonghua said.
"Titanic? It's indeed a good subject. What type of novel is it?"
Lou Xiao'e asked.
"Disaster filmmakers love movies."
Zhang Zhonghua thinks that the film should still be shot by truck drivers, but Kashen is still majoring in physics at the University of California, and Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet haven't been born yet, so there is no rush.
When the freighter docked, everyone climbed onto the thick ice and could already see the Antarctic Aurora, which gave people a shocking feeling.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, we can only travel by sled dogs for the rest of the road. The temperature in winter is too low and cars cannot be used at this time."
"I understand, thank you very much."
Everyone looked at the more than a hundred Siberian Huskies in front of them. All of them were majestic and majestic. They were also the main means of transportation in the polar regions in winter.
It is said that in some places in Da Mao, the car never shuts off all year round, because once the car stalls, the car will not be able to start, or may even never start.
Zhang Zhonghua looked at the scene in front of him and remembered a movie he had watched. "Antarctic Adventure" was released that year and was a hit.
More than two hours later, a large amount of supplies were loaded onto the sled. After everyone sat on the sled, they quickly started to set off.
Siberian Huskies are professional sled dogs and their endurance is quite strong. They have no problem pulling these people and goods.
Zhang Zhonghua was shocked when he saw the Trans-Antarctic Mountains. A huge hole was blown into the endless glaciers. This project is really awesome.
After passing through the Transantarctic Mountains, the auroras in Antarctica become more dreamy and the sky is particularly beautiful.
After running in the snowfield for an unknown amount of time, the mighty team finally arrived at the Amundsen-Scott Research Station near the base point, and dozens of people at the research station were particularly happy to see the material team.
The temperature here has reached minus 91 degrees Celsius, and life here is also very painful. There is extreme night for half the year and extreme day for half the year. It makes people feel very confused, and the concept of time has been greatly impacted.
"It's so beautiful."
Lou Xiao'e looked at the aurora in the distance and exclaimed. Not only Lou Xiao'e, but others were also shocked.
Don’t blame them for making a fuss, the aurora is really beautiful, blue aurora, green aurora, pink aurora, yellow aurora, the aurora are constantly changing in the sky, some are like colorful paper ribbons, some are like gorgeous fireworks,
Some are like a long bow, with colors ranging from light to dark, from green to red.
The sky is filled with stars, and occasionally you can see a black hole, which is dark and deep, as if it contains countless secrets and seems to tell the mysteries of the universe.
The picture in the sky is a hundred times more beautiful than the wallpaper that comes with Apple computers. The miraculous craftsmanship of nature is indeed well-deserved, and this trip is well-deserved.
After a tiring day, everyone had a simple meal and then entered the tents set up to rest. There was no accommodation provided here.
Even though these small tents are not big, each one costs up to 10,000 U.S. dollars. They are made of handmade seal skin. The clothes everyone wears are also seal skin. Their thermal insulation effect is definitely the best in the world.
"Uncle Hua, when do you think we can establish a research station in Antarctica?"
Lou Xiaobao asked.
Hearing Lou Xiaobao's question, Zhang Zhonghua couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
We are too far behind. Since the 1820s, explorers from various countries have successively discovered different areas of Antarctica, including John Bull, New Zealand, Germany, South Africa, the Country of Kangaroos, the Country of Gaul, Norway, Chile, Argentina,
Ten countries, including Brazil, have formally claimed sovereignty over parts of Antarctica.
In December 1959, 12 countries signed the Antarctic Treaty, and many countries subsequently joined and established research stations in Antarctica.
Countries that have established scientific research stations in Antarctica hold an international conference on Antarctica every two years. Big names such as Mao Xiong are involved, and some small countries dare not raise any opinions.
In 1981, the National Antarctic Expedition Committee was formally established in Yanxia. In 1983, America only joined the Antarctic Treaty with its consent.
When Representative Yan Xia attended this international conference for the first time, he was often asked out of the conference room to drink coffee because he did not have the right to vote. The permanent members of the International Federation of International Federations were also invited out.
"It will probably take a long time. The current situation is not very optimistic. Internationally, everything depends on international status. We are still far away.
America, Mao Xiong belongs to the global superpowers. European countries have formed the European Community. Countries in the Middle East have always been uneasy because of oil or religious beliefs. Africa is also a brother in trouble. South Asia has been fighting for decades, and Southeast Asia,
Northeast Asia is also in trouble.
The current international situation is very chaotic. Only by leaving the earth can we stay away from these things."
"Uncle Ahua, do you still want to go to the moon?"
Lou Xiaobao said with a smile.
"No, actually I'm from Mars, so I'm going back to Mars."
Zhang Zhonghua joked with a smile.
"Uncle Ahua, what does Mars look like?"
Anita Mui asked curiously, she seemed to take it seriously.
"What is Mars like? I forgot!"
Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.
"Sister, your Uncle Ah Hua is teasing you! I watched him grow up. Can I not know if he is from Mars?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lou Xiao'e said helplessly to Anita Mui, and everyone burst into laughter.
After a tiring day, everyone quickly fell asleep.
There is no such thing as time here at the Pole. Everyone got used to it. After eating a simple meal again, they rode a sleigh towards the Pole. The aurora in the sky was very dreamy.
"Uncle Ahua, look, that's the Bear's research station over there."
The members of the fighting nation had a lot of fun at the research station. They greeted Zhang Zhonghua and everyone warmly, but it was really lonely here. No matter who you are, as long as you are not enemies, they will welcome you.
Everyone quickly followed the enthusiastic warriors to the pole of the Antarctic. Watching the aurora at the pole was even more beautiful, as it was at the bottom of the earth.
Aurora is a phenomenon that occurs when charged particles from the sun collide with the magnetic field of the Earth's poles, causing a discharge in the sky. There is a strong flow of charged particles in space.
The employees of the Asian Associated Press used a special camera to capture the aurora and took photos of everyone at the same time.
"Uncle Hua, I crossed 24 time zones in two seconds and walked through a whole day. This is really amazing."
The three children shouted excitedly at the pole. They were having a great time playing at the pole. This idea was indeed good. The speed of the sun could not keep up with the speed of these little guys, and time was flowing backwards.
But it's still too cold here, otherwise Zhang Zhonghua would be ready to set a world record of peeing for two days. If he really did it...
Then everyone took photos at the pole. In fact, everyone was almost like taking photos wearing a space suit, and their faces were only shown for less than five seconds. Ninety degrees below zero is no joke.
