China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 445 A bit stingy
After getting Cameron's permission, Zhang Yimou continued to ask.

"I would like to ask how some of the more extreme shots in the film were made using special effects without any unnatural feeling?"

"It's like it was shot on location and the actors were in action. It doesn't look like there's any trace of synthesis at all."

Zhang Yimou's question was also asked on the edge of the knife.

It is also a matter of concern to several famous nearby Chinese directors.

After hearing this, several directors sitting next to him also nodded deeply and looked at Cameron eagerly.

I just want to wait for Cameron to answer their questions.

This is the core concern for them as directors.

Just like the screenwriter pays more attention to the plot, the prop team pays more attention to the props, and the actors pay more attention to the performance of the protagonist in some small aspects.

As directors, what they need is to learn from the advanced experiences of other directors and use them to enrich themselves.

Very good, what a heartfelt answer.

But Cameron didn't say anything. He said maybe, but he didn't say that all the shots were without special effects.

"Oh——!"

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. It all depends on how the person being asked understands it.

Therefore, the superiors specially equipped the "Titanic" crew with translators.

"what???"

After thinking about it, Cameron asked proactively.

"Can you guess which scenes in the entire film used special effects?"

"Of course, you can also explain which shots should use special effects, but I used real-life shots."

After Zhang Yimou asked the question, the translator immediately relayed his question in English.

With a listening expression, Director Cameron nodded slightly while listening. At the end, after listening to all the words, he actually showed a slightly surprised look.

After all, there are some extremely dangerous scenes. Even if full body protection is provided, actors may be injured. Cameron still will not ask his actors to take risks.

This answer directly caused some people to quack.

Director Cameron blinked and sighed.

Learning more advanced film shooting skills will also be of great benefit to them.

He spread his hands with a particularly sincere expression, "The reason there is no trace of special effects synthesis is - maybe we didn't use special effects at all for that shot."

"No special effects?!"

Due to language barrier.

After hearing this, the director broke into a cold sweat for a moment.

The first question is okay, but this second question...

"Gah——?"

If the understanding is more complicated, it can actually be regarded as a provocation.

After all, Director Cameron said that special effects could be used to "fool" others in their eyes, but he chose to do it himself.

In an instant, whispers were heard from several places throughout the venue.

Most of the eyes fell on Zhang Yimou.

When Zhang Yimou first heard this, his heart couldn't help but "thump".

After living for most of his life, Zhang Yimou almost thought that he was asking for advice, but he was actually provoked.

But then I thought about it, it shouldn’t be.

Think about it again.

Zhang Yimou felt that they were worrying too much.

After all, Director Cameron is famous for being fast-talking and saying whatever he has to say. If you want to talk to him about certain issues with this kind of character, you have to be real and don't covertly say things you don't understand.

Zhang Yimou lived most of his life.

He also participated in intrigues. So after hearing a sentence, his brain would immediately analyze the sentence into several versions. Zhang Yimou was not only a little annoyed.

After he figured it out, he raised his eyes and met Cameron's smiling gaze.

Think deeply for a moment before speaking out your inner thoughts.

"There is a panoramic view of the Titanic in the long shot, and every detail is displayed in front of everyone. I think this should be a scene synthesized by special effects. The subsequent actors are standing on the deck, and the shooting should be a studio set up. ”

"As for some shots of looking at the sea level in the plot, they were taken from real scenes at different times, right?"

After thinking carefully before speaking, Zhang Yimou felt that he had regained a lot of confidence the more he spoke.

And the speaking speed is getting faster and faster.

It was obvious that he was extremely confident in what he said.

In his opinion, the sunset and sea breeze scene can be achieved by finding a small lake and using some tools, let alone the four oceans.

The main problem still lies on the luxury cruise ship Titanic.

If nothing else, this thing has to be fake, right?

If it is true, where can I find such a luxury cruise ship from the last century?
Not to mention that there are no cruise ships with that style anymore.

Even if there is.

It would be difficult for the crew to rent it out for filming. After all, which cruise company wouldn't carefully maintain and hide such a cruise ship like a family heirloom?
Ever since, Zhang Yimou chose the one that was least likely to go wrong among all the shots he had doubts about in his memory.

The directors sitting next to him also nodded after hearing this.

They all commented in various directions.

"You're right, then Titanic should be synthesized with special effects."

"But why does it look so real to me? Have the special effects in Hollywood advanced to this level now?"

"It should be a top outsourced special effects company."

"Hiss—a top special effects team, that would cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars, right?"

While they were discussing, everyone sitting in the center of the stage, including Lin Gao, looked helpless.

Of course, Lin Gao was the first to show such an expression.

Mainly he is Chinese.

Others had to have translation time, but he didn't need it.

Lin Gao thought.

[It’s no wonder that Zhang Yimou has not won an Oscar statuette in these decades. 】

[This kind of vision... is really a bit bad. 】

[I would rather believe that it was a special effects cruise ship that cost a lot of money to synthesize than that it was a model that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to build. 】

Thinking of this, Lin Gao felt even more disappointed and helpless.

This is one of the reasons why Chinese films lag so far behind.

After watching the movie, no one would think that the crew of "Titanic" was really willing to spend a lot of money just to build this exquisite cruise ship model.

He even destroyed it with his own hands in the end to film the collision between the cruise ship and the glacier.

A bit picky.

Hands tied.

If you want to change this idea, there is still time.

Director Cameron couldn't help laughing after listening to the translation.

"No, no, no, it's wrong, it's all wrong."

Director Cameron’s words don’t need to be translated.

Anyone who didn’t understand English heard it. Several "No no no" popped out of Cameron's mouth.

This couldn't help but make Zhang Yimou's body suddenly stiffen.
