Li Qing praised: "As expected of Mr. Scott, his observation skills are very keen and his analytical skills are also very precise."
"I just did a little reasoning based on your current status. Combining your personal identity and the short script in my hand, it is not difficult to find such a context." Scott's eyes shined: "So, the story of the new script
,has it been completed?”
Li Qing turned over and opened the desk drawer and took out a few pages of draft paper, "Mr. Scott, actually when choosing the director for "Harry Potter", between you and James, our team considered it for a long time.
, but I have never been able to come to a conclusion. I have personally seen the two of you’s masterpieces, and in terms of directors, you are both at the top of your game.”
Scott was quiet for a moment and asked: "It is undeniable that James is indeed a very good director, but I still want to know where did I lose to James?"
"luck!"
Li Qing smiled: "I chose by tossing a coin, do you believe it?"
Scott smiled: "When I can't make up my mind, I usually let fate decide, so I believe that I am really a little less lucky than James."
Li Qing handed the script in his hand to Scott: "We have an old saying in China, which is called a blessing in disguise. It means that although you suffer a temporary loss, you can get greater benefits from it.
Mr. Cotter, I give you this sentence."
Tony opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Mr. Li, do you mean that your new script will be handed over to Mr. Scott for filming?"
Li Qing said nothing.
Tony continued: "But Mr. Li, do you know? Scott is not a nobody. In Hollywood, he is a great director that everyone is looking for. Not every script can catch his eye."
Li Qing snorted and said, "Are you saying that the script I wrote is not worthy of being shot by a big Hollywood director?"
Tony laughed dryly: "Of course not."
Li Qing stopped talking, took a sip from the water glass, looked at Tony, and looked thoughtful.
Tony was stared at by Li Qing with hair all over his body, but he didn't dare to say anything.
At this point, Scott was completely immersed in the storyline of the new script.
On April 15, 1912, the luxury ship "Titanic" carrying Passenger 1316 and 91 crew members collided with an iceberg and sank. This shipwreck was considered one of the top ten disasters in the 2nd century.
In 1955, the sunken remains of the Titanic were discovered two and a half miles below the seabed in the North Atlantic.
American explorer Lovett personally dived to the bottom of the sea and saw a painting on the wall of the cabin.
Luo Weiwei's discovery immediately attracted the attention of an old woman.
Rose, who is already 12 years old, claims that she is the girl in the painting.
In the diving cabin, Rose began to narrate her story...
On April 1, 1912, the "Titanic", known as the "miracle in the history of world industry", sailed from Southampton, England to New York, the United States.
Rich girl Rose got on the boat with her mother and fiancé Carl.
On the other side, Jack, an unruly young painter, won a boat ticket through a gamble on the pier, and thus entered the Titanic where wealthy businessmen gathered.
Rose had long seen that Karl was a complete snob, and she was unwilling to marry him from the bottom of her heart, and even planned to commit suicide by throwing herself into the sea.
At the critical moment, Jack hugged the girl Rose, and the two young people got to know each other...
The more Scott watched, the more fascinated he became.
Different from "Three Hours of Despair", in the new script, Leesin describes a poignant love story.
This love story is not amazing, but from small to large, and from point to point, Leesin actually starts from the details and reveals the magnificent tragic world bit by bit.
From the moment the cruise ship hit the iceberg, the whole story suddenly gained momentum.
The originally calm and soothing rhythm began to feel like clockwork getting tighter and tighter, making people unable to help but worry about it.
In particular, the appearance of the people on the ship, the various scenes in the world, and the various touching deeds were all presented in just a few hours, which is breathtaking.
When the seawater hit, the bow deck of the ship was completely submerged under the water. At that time, the eight band members on the ship, led by band director Wallace Hartley, continued to play music for the passengers to calm these doomed people.
A life that dies in a few dozen minutes will end only after death.
After Astor IV, the world's richest man, put his pregnant wife on the lifeboat, he stood on the deck, lit a cigar, and gave up his seat to an Irish woman traveling in third class.
A few days later, in the dawn light of the North Atlantic, the salvage crew found him, his head had been smashed by the chimney...
Astor's assets could build more than a dozen Titanic ships, but he refused all legitimate reasons to escape.
Strauss is the founder of Macy's department store in the United States. No matter what methods he uses, his wife Rosalie always refuses to get on lifeboat No. 8. She said: "For many years, I will go wherever you go, and I will accompany you."
Go wherever you want to go."
Then the old gentleman took his wife's arm, and the old couple staggered to the wicker chairs on the deck and sat down, smiling at each other until the sea water flooded each other.
A few years later, a monument built for the Strausses stood in the Brown District of New York City, with the inscription: "A love that no amount of sea water can drown!"
The ship's sinking speed began to accelerate, and the bridge was about to be submerged. The captain signaled the telegraph operator to leave his post and escape, but telegraph operator Phillips remained indifferent and continued to send SOS distress signals to the vast sea.
Until the last moment of his life, he repeated this action, letting the sea water reach his fingertips and his chest.
The captain, Edward John Smith, walked into the captain's cabin, locked the door, closed his eyes, and accepted the judgment of death.
The dedicated electrical engineers had been maintaining the power in the cabin. Eventually, seawater poured into the central power control room, causing a short circuit. The lights on the entire ship went out instantly, then flickered, and finally dimmed forever.
And this electrical engineer, who was also at his post, was unfortunately electrocuted to death when seawater hit...
Human nature is never beautiful, it also has an ugly side.
For example, Masafumi Hosono, the deputy counselor of Japan Railways, disguised himself as a woman and climbed into a lifeboat full of women and children to escape...
For example, the shipowner Ismay, who reduced the number of lifeboats and the height of the water barrier, and was the initiator of all accidents, very decisively abandoned his passengers, his crew, and his ship at the last moment, and jumped into the sea.
Jump into the collapsible lifeboat.
Countless stories overlapped in his mind, causing a storm in Scott's mind.
After a long time.
Scott raised his head and asked seriously: "What is the name of this script?"
Li Qing said: "Titanic."
"Does this giant ship really exist?"
Scott finally couldn't help the shock in his heart and exclaimed: "In history, something like this really happened..."
In Scott's opinion, the various stories in this script really made his scalp numb.
This is definitely not like a temporarily fabricated story. When reading the whole story, Scott seemed to be immersed in it. It is so rigorous and so convincing that Scott believes that it is true.
exists!
Li Qing did not explain, because for now, he did not know whether the Titanic had really appeared in this world.
Of course, Li Qing also sincerely hopes that "Titanic" is really just a story.
