The best director ever

Chapter 358

If you ask the audience, which part of the Titanic impresses you the most, the tens of thousands of answers must include the scene of the two "flying" kissing on the bow.

This is the moment when the two formally make love, and it is also the most critical step for Ruth to break out of the noble cage.

It's just that as soon as the two established a relationship, disaster followed.
After shooting this shot, Han Qiu and Lin Hua started filming the scene of the shipwreck.

Of course, the shipwreck shot here is not in real sea water, and the sunken ship is not that huge model either.

When Han Qiu built the model, in addition to the 1:1 large model, there were also many medium and small models.

The smallest model is only over one meter long, just like an ordinary model airplane.This thing is mainly a model built by special effects staff for special effects.

The ship that actually sank was a medium-sized model, and the place where it sank was photographed in an oversized tank.

How big is it?
There are a full 150w liters!
Han Qiu initially chose a natural waterhole in Mexico as the location of this big puddle, but the local government refused to let Han Qiu play like this on the grounds of damaging the environment.

In the end, Han Qiu came to this seaside resort city and temporarily rented a coastal development zone outside the resort city to meet the needs of filming.

This piece of land with a full area of ​​about 300 mu is also the location for the crew to build the film set.

Almost all the scenes in the film were built here.

The so-called shipwreck scene was also done in the oversized tank on the set.

When shooting the scene where the two protagonists, Jack and Rose, sink into the water with the boat, Han Qiu temporarily built a deck that can be tilted, using this to simulate the scene of the boat finally sinking into the water.

Of course, special effects must be used, but these special effects are not too difficult for the current film technology.For Cameron back then, it was really not easy.

And the three months from June to August are also the hardest months for the actors.

Because almost every shot is about water, and everyone is soaking in the sink almost all the time.After a few months, the actors felt that they were about to become aquatic animals.

Not to mention the extras and supporting actors, their shots in the water are far less than the two protagonists, Li Zi and Kate.So the hardest ones are Kate and Xiao Lizi.

At the beginning, compared to Kate who was having fun in the water, Xiao Li didn't like to soak in the water for filming.But the weather in this season is quite hot.Especially in Mexico, the sun here is like a laser beam, and the skin of people who shoot it is black.

It's hot, but the water is cool.

So, in the end, Xiao Lizi became a member of the diving army with peace of mind.He can't help it, compared to sweating in the sun on land, it's better to soak in the water and film.

They were like this, not to mention Han Qiu and Yuan Meng, and almost all other staff were soaked in the sink.

Sometimes, Yuan Meng took the shots lying on the swimming ring.

Sometimes, Lin Hua commanded the scene from the lifeboat, because he was short-sighted and could not see clearly when his glasses were wet.

Sometimes, the makeup artist just swims over to apply makeup on the protagonists, even if the makeup will be washed away by someone soon.

Even Han Qiu was no exception.Every day at the end of shift, the skin of his hands and feet were wrinkled with blisters.

But fortunately, all of this has survived, although everyone has paid a lot of price.For example, when filming the scene of falling from the deck into the water, some of the extras were injured.

Han Qiu also has to be responsible for the treatment expenses of these people, to ensure their safety and help them deal with the aftermath.

In addition, at the end of July, Kate also had a fever during the filming of the "Wet Body" scene for a long time, and the fever reached 39.5 degrees.

At that time, Han Qiu was frightened, so he rushed Kate to the hospital without stopping, and took care of him for an afternoon, but had to leave because of too many things on the set.

Later, after Kate's fever subsided at night, Han Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.It's okay to delay filming for a few days, it's a big deal if something happens to Kate on her own set.

At that time, not only will you have to be responsible for people, but the movie will die halfway.

After that, Kate's body did not suffer any serious problems, and it has continued until now, and no accidents have happened again.

In mid-September, NO.15.

In the evening, the crew is about to shoot the last scene.

At this moment, the filming has not started yet.In the large tank, many group performers were playing on the water, some wearing life jackets, some not.Those who wear life jackets are the so-called "upper class people", and those who don't wear life jackets are generally civilians living in the lower class.

In addition, there are several lifeboats in the tank, and most of the people sitting on them are women and children, whether they are civilians or nobles, they can all enjoy the opportunity to ride.

Therefore, in real history, more than 70% of the people who survived the catastrophe of the century were women and children.

With this solid history in front of him, Han Qiu also had to accept that in that era, the survival rate of weak women was actually higher than that of strong men.

To be honest, if this were placed in Huaxia, this ratio would definitely be reversed.At that time, the status of Chinese women was too low, not as high as it is now.

Han Qiu also heard that four or five of the seven Chinese who worked as boiler workers on the Titanic forcibly squeezed into the lifeboats and escaped. They were severely condemned by American public opinion at the time.Later, an American reporter defended them, saying that in the Chinese concept at that time, women were dependent on men, and if something happened, it must be the man who left first.

Otherwise, even if the woman survives, she will become a widow, which is worse than death.Therefore, it is reasonable for the reporter to say that several Chinese people boarded the lifeboat at that time.

However, no matter what the result is, it has become history anyway.If a ship sinks in this era, who can survive to the end, it is uncertain
At this moment, the makeup artist is soaking in water to apply makeup to Kate and Xiao Lizi.

This scene is the last segment in the movie, that is, the parting segment of Jack and Rose's life and death.

Here, Jack gave Ruth the chance of survival, but he was frozen in the icy water.

Since it was frozen, the make-up artist applied a special layer of chemical substance on them, and this layer of chemical substance would condense into something similar to frost when it encountered air.

After a while, the makeup artists covered the protagonist and the extras with a layer of hoarfrost, which looked like real ice.

Standing in the water, Han Qiu was submerged in the water from the waist down.Standing beside Xiao Li and Kate, he said, "Are you ready?"

Kate was lying on a wooden board, and Xiao Lizi stood aside holding the wooden board, but the water surface covered up the real situation, making him look like he was floating.

"OK." Xiao Lizi replied intermittently, trembling.

Han Qiu rolled his eyes at him, "The filming hasn't started yet, so stop acting, kid."

Kate also blamed: "The acting is really bad. It doesn't look like it at all."

Xiao Lizi shrugged, "This is just an experiment."

Han Qiu shook his head and looked at Kate, "How do you feel?"

"It's good." Kate said with a smile: "Director Han, don't worry, I won't have a fever anymore."

Han Qiu said helplessly, "But you're not wearing a wetsuit."

"I don't want to wear that, it's too tight and it affects my movement in the water."

Hearing this, Han Qiu also had a headache.Kate is one of the few actors out there who doesn't want to put on a wetsuit for an underwater scene.

Even Xiao Lizi put on a thermal jacket.

Han Qiu also noticed that Kate just likes to play with water, and she likes it very much, but the result was a fever.

"Okay, if you feel uncomfortable in your body later, you must tell me, don't hold on."

As soon as Han Qiu finished speaking, Kate immediately responded: "Okay, Director Han, I will definitely let you know if there is anything to do."

He was perfunctory me again. Han Qiu sighed, "Prepare your lines, and the filming will start right away."

"Yeah!" Kate nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, there was a slight dizziness in her mind, which made her feel that the world in front of her was in a trance.But it came and went quickly, Kate shook her body slightly and returned to normal.

Xiao Lizi looked at Kate and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Kate pretended not to care, and smiled, "I'm just a little hungry."

Xiao Lizi nodded: "Oh, hearing what you said, I'm hungry too. I'll treat you to dinner after the filming is over."

"Thank you."

Han Qiu walked to the distance, nodded to Yuan Meng and the staff: "action!"

After Han Qiu finished speaking, the "corpses" floating around remained motionless and quiet.Only Xiao Li and Kate were still whispering.

The camera zoomed in, and not long after, Xiao Lizi closed his eyes according to the script, and fell silent.

At this time, a lifeboat filled with many women and children passed through many floating corpses and passed not far from Kate.Kate, who still had a sliver of reason left, climbed down from the wooden board, swam to a floating corpse next to him, took off the whistle from his mouth, looked at the lifeboat not far away, and blew it vigorously.

Yuan Meng's camera is also getting closer and closer, and gradually freezes on Kate's face.

Han Qiu nodded in satisfaction: "cut!"

"Congratulations everyone, let's kill"

However, before Han Qiu could say the word "finish", Kate under the light suddenly closed her eyes and sank into the water.
