Heads Up Hollywood

"CUT! Take a break for twenty minutes!"

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

Kate was so anxious that she broke out in sweat. She has been NG seven times in a row! She trotted over in a hurry, and asked nervously, "Tang En, what did I do wrong?"

Tang En 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, and Grant asked, "Twain, is there any problem?"

Tang En pointed at the shot taken in front of the screen and shook his head repeatedly, "This is not the effect I want, I can't tell right now, but this shot is not beautiful enough!"

This group of shots is the first close-up of the "Titanic" in the movie, supplemented by the beautiful image of the heroine "Ruth" standing on the bow. She was wearing a rose-colored top hat and a white and red corset dress, vividly showing the beauty and grace of a noble girl a hundred years ago.

It's just... Tang En always felt that something was wrong.

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

"But... this is already very good."

Several assistant directors looked hesitant, not understanding Tang En's thoughts.

"James, what do you think?"

Tang En heaved a long and short sigh. If it really didn't work out, he could only muddle along. It's just that this is a set of opening shots, which is very important. Although the time is short, it is a classic scene that can shock people's hearts. Tang En is not willing to indulge too much.

James Cameron has been silently pondering for a long time, and finally opened his eyes, revealing two touches of light, "Hat! It's the hat problem!"

Tang En was startled, and then an excited smile appeared on his face, "That's right, it's the hat! Kate's hat is too restrictive, take it off, her brown hair is the real artistic beauty!"

He finally discovered the weirdness. It turned out that Kate Winslet in the original work didn't wear the beautiful but spoiled princess hat at all.

Tang En inherited Cameron's professional skills. He believed that if he NGed dozens of times, he would definitely be able to understand the root of the problem.

It's just that Cameron, who is no longer responsible for the role of director, has discovered this in advance. This will of course greatly advance the filming schedule and reduce filming funds.

However, when Tang En and Cameron reached an agreement, it immediately drew strong opposition from the female makeup artist Deborah Scott!

"This is absolutely not allowed! A hundred years ago, aristocratic women had to wear hats and take them off when they went out. This is very rude and embarrassing!"

Tang En said with a smile: "Ruth is a rebellious girl, otherwise she wouldn't fall in love with a gangster, wouldn't she?"

"No! What she rebelled against was the oppression of human nature. Whether she wears a hat or not doesn't affect her character at all."

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

Tang En didn't want to argue with her, so he looked at Cameron with a smile, "James, the task is entrusted to you!"

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

...

Ten minutes later, Tang En directly threw Kate's hat into the trash can.

This time, the shooting went very smoothly.

In the crew, the cast and crew looked at each other in blank dismay, more suspicious than surprised.

Producer and director, what happened to these two people?

When they were in Los Angeles, the two of them confronted each other, and many "wars" broke out. The intensity of the quarrels made many irrelevant people frightened.

But after arriving in Rosarito, the two seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, like the closest friends, and the cooperation... was perfect!

Last time, Tang En led the filming of a scene where Leonardo smoked, which was strongly opposed by many production staff.

With such a large investment in "Titanic", it will be rated PG or PG13 in the future.

There will be a large number of children watching movies all over the world, and the scene where the male protagonist plays cool by smoking is likely to bring about a bad atmosphere.

However, Tang En believed that the punks a hundred years ago had cigarettes in their mouths, which was the coolest and most common thing, and the past history should not be changed by the thinking of contemporary people.

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

This time, because of the heroine's hat, Cameron and Twain teamed up again, using the authority of the producer and director to join forces and push away the obstacles.

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

...

The shooting of the movie is jumpy, and the next set of shots is also the outside shooting of the big ship. It tells the story of "Jack" meeting the noble girl "Luth" and bringing her to the bow to experience a different life.

And director Dunn Walker used his fantastic imagination to propose a set of shocking shots that shocked the entire crew——

"Leon, you spit down here! Yes, this is an interesting thing. You try to teach Kate how to spit, and then spit together. This is a secret to sublimate the relationship between you."

As soon as Tang En finished speaking, everyone was stunned!

spit?

What a joke!

This kind of "disgusting" thing, not to mention the aristocratic woman "Luth" can't do it, even the little gangster "Jack" shouldn't act so shamelessly!

This is simply nonsense!

"Twain, this idea is too absurd, it will seriously affect the aesthetics of the film!" The always gentle producer Lei Sancheni was rarely serious.

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

Grant Hill said seriously: "Twain, you can't do this! "Titanic" is about beautiful love, not this kind of farce like a street gangster."

Tang En's face was a little ugly, and when he looked up, he found Leonardo and Kate's 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 quite know what you're thinking, but doing this... is even more extreme than the smoking scene."

Kate Winslet, a girl in her early twenties, was naturally unwilling to perform such a serious image-defaming performance, which was even more exaggerated than a nude scene. She struggled and said, "Twain, I..."

"Forget it, I see." Tang En 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 nodded one after another.

Dunn couldn't help smiling wryly.

This is really opposed by everyone. I really don't know how much pressure Cameron had to bear when filming "Titanic".

This set of shots... is definitely one of the most classic scenes in movie history, Tang En was very impressed!

"James, what do you think?"

There was no way, Tang En set his sights on Cameron.

Cameron gave him a complicated look, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Twain, even though I don't want to admit it, I have to say, you fucking... are really a genius! An unparalleled genius!"

He was so excited that he even uttered obscenities.

Tang En said pleasantly: "So, you support me?"

Cameron said seriously: "I support you 100%! Tang En, your unrestrained imagination and magical creativity are amazing! You will definitely become a world-class director. I firmly believe in this! "

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

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

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

Cameron shook his head, "Perhaps another word is more appropriate, it is..."

"It's a sensation!"

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

...

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

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

"Grant, we still have to film this afternoon!" Tang En said with a half-smile.

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

In fact, Grant Hill is not the only one who feels this way. Many people have this illusion.

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

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

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

"I believe this will be a great work!"

Grant Hill was very interested. Seeing Cameron's bearded vicissitudes and Tang En's youthful vigor, he felt a lot.

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

Grant took a sip and looked far.

However, at this moment, several screams of pain came from the restaurant. Tang En's expression changed, and when he looked around, he saw two staff members foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground.

"Someone poisoned!"

Tang En turned pale with shock and shouted loudly.
