Chapter 1,675 Disaster movie? No, this is a romance movie!
Perhaps it is because of different circumstances, or perhaps because Li Yi is also an investor, so he and the truck driver are completely different things.
Because the truck driver has no idea that he is about to create a miracle, and what he has created is a classic that cannot be avoided in the history of film, he will be under great pressure, and naturally his mood and temper will not be very good.
But Li Yi doesn't need to worry about this at all. Although this movie is set in a different world, he is confident that it will become a classic in this world as well.
Therefore, he is not impatient at all.
In addition, he was standing on the shoulders of those who came before him, so he was very comfortable taking pictures.
Even if we strive for excellence and perfection, the filming progress is much faster than that of the original Truck Driver.
The director is less stressed and less irritable. As the soul of the crew, this will naturally be reflected on the entire crew.
Li Yi is not as cruel as the truck driver who made people stay in the water for so long in cold weather.
Even in the original version, the heroine almost drowned.
You may be able to make a movie without going crazy, but you still need to pay attention to safety.
Because no matter how many reasons there are, they can’t compare to the safety of human life!
Therefore, the atmosphere on the set may not be said to be very relaxed, but at least it is not that depressing.
And Li Yi is not short of money or in a hurry, so he often holds parties on the set, where everyone drinks, eats barbecue, chats, and complains.
For this reason, situations like the crew of the original Truck Driver that were in frequent states of affairs have really never happened with Li Yi.
Although the working hours sometimes stretch very long, Li Yi will quickly make up for everyone's rest time, so naturally no one will complain too much.
The filming progress is proceeding in an orderly manner.
In fact, most of the main filming of the movie was focused on the "Titanic".
The filming here is finished, and the movie is actually almost done.
Time passes day by day, and news about "Titanic" appears from time to time. At the same time, the announcements of Dean Pictures and the domestic side also begin to proceed in an orderly manner.
When mentioning "Titanic", many people may think of the diamond "Star of the Sea"!
In fact, it is impossible for Li Yi to actually use real "diamonds" to shoot. On the one hand, it is really not necessary, and on the other hand, it is too troublesome.
However, he followed suit and ordered many "Heart of the Ocean" necklaces. After the shooting, he would give one to everyone. In fact, it is not expensive at all!
Of course, this will also become a peripheral product of the movie later!
As for a huge sapphire necklace like the "Heart of the Ocean", has the diamond "Heart of the Ocean" really ever existed in the world? No one can resist the beauty of the Heart of the Ocean diamond, all women.
Everybody wants it!
But in fact, this so-called heart of the ocean is not real.
The so-called "Star of the Sea" diamond does not exist in reality. However, its story background does borrow from the famous gemstone in the real world-the "Hope" blue diamond. Louis XVI once owned a diamond called
The "Blue of France" diamond has been missing since it was stolen during the French Revolution. It was not until 1812 that a diamond named "Hope" appeared in London. It was finally confirmed that the "Hope"
It is cut from the "Blue of France". However, decades ago, this famous diamond had already settled in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in the beautiful country. Of course, truck drivers could not borrow it for filming.
Props. So what is the origin of the real "Heart of the Ocean" in the movie?
The stand-in for "Heart of the Ocean" in the movie is actually the "Tanzania Blue" gem from Tanzania, Africa. When it was first discovered, it was called Zoisite because it has almost the same pronunciation as the English word "suicide".
Few people dared to wear it because they were afraid that its name would bring bad luck. It was not until Tiffany & Co. discovered it and named it after "Tanzan" where the gem was found, that tanzanite truly entered people's lives. When people could not resist this
When she saw the temptation brought by this gem, it got a nice name "Elizabeth Taylor's Eyes".
Tanzanite refers to gem-grade blue zoisite, also known as tanzanite abroad. It is a silicate mineral. Only in the world is there a 4-meter-long piece at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa.
This kind of gem can only be produced in an area of km and 2 kilometers wide. This is a gem that is both old and young. The formation time of tanzanite is about 580 million years ago. Over the long years, it has been
It is buried 2 kilometers underground; however, it is a very young gem. 50 years ago, no one had discovered this gem with beautiful blue and purple colors.
After playing the role of the stand-in for "Heart of the Ocean", tanzanite has become a popular "star of tomorrow" in the gem industry.
What's interesting is that the "Hope" blue diamond, the prototype of the Heart of the Ocean, although bright and eye-catching, is actually a diamond of doom full of ominous colors.
In 1642 AD, French explorer and jeweler Tavimir discovered a huge diamond in southwestern India. It was dark blue and weighed 112.5 carats. As a jeweler, Tavimir knew that this would be a unique and rare treasure.
, so he secretly brought the giant diamond back to France without telling everyone, and dedicated it to the French King Louis XIV. Louis XIV was extremely excited. Not only was Tavimir awarded an official title, but he also received a large sum of money. But
What Tavimere and Louis XIV did not expect was that since the appearance of this giant diamond, bad luck has become unstoppable, and the lives of every owner have undergone tremendous changes.
First, it was Tavimir, the discoverer of this diamond. After he presented the gem to Louis XIV, his business plummeted and his family fortune was spent by his unfilial son, leaving him penniless when he reached the age of 80.
Even though he had no money, he still had to go to India again, hoping to find new wealth. However, he was bitten to death by wild dogs there. The next one was the turn of King Louis XIV of France. He got this blue stone
After buying a huge diamond, he asked the most skilled craftsmen to carve the huge diamond into a diamond weighing 69.03 carats. Louis XIV only wore it once, and soon died of smallpox.
Louis XV, the King of France who succeeded to the throne, became the new owner of the diamond. He swore not to wear this large dark blue diamond, so he gave the diamond to his lover. As a result, Louis XV's mistress was killed in a French song
Then Louis XVI and the Queen became the new owners of this diamond. They still could not escape their bad luck, and both were sent to the guillotine. Another Princess Lamberne who wore this diamond was probably another
It was because of wearing this unlucky diamond that he was killed in a French song.
Since then, rumors about the "fate" of this giant diamond have been flying all over the world, and people have been talking about it. Of course, some people think it is pure nonsense and just a coincidence. Later, an unknown person actually stole the giant diamond from the French treasury.
Gone. We don’t know the fate of the thief. We only know that it was reworked and its weight was reduced to 45.52 carats. It appeared on the jewelry market in London in 1830. Although the weight was reduced, this rare treasure
It was still recognized at a glance, and the banker Hope bought it for a huge sum of 18,000 pounds. From then on, the blue diamond was named "Hope" after its new owner's surname. Because in English, Hope also means hope.
It means, so the diamond is also called "hope".
Since Hope had no heirs, he passed "Hope" to his grandson. Since Hope's grandson and his wife received the "Star of Hope", they went bankrupt, the couple divorced, and became poor in their later years. In 1901, Hope's grandson will "
"Star of Hope" was resold and changed hands several times. In 1908, it was acquired by Turkish Sultan Hamid II for a huge sum of US$400,000. Hamid II rewarded it to a close associate who died soon after.
In 1911, "Hope" was purchased by McClain, the head of the U.S. Postal Service, for $114,000 and given to his wife as a gift. The next year, McClain's son was killed in a car accident, and he died soon after. His daughter also died of an overdose of sleeping pills.
The family was ruined. McClain's wife, who originally did not believe these nonsense, blamed herself in her later years. After her death, the American jeweler Winston became the new owner of "Hope".
It has been 300 years since the discovery of the giant diamond in Tavimir and the purchase of "Hope" by Winston. During these 300 years, almost all the wearers who came into contact with "Hope" were plagued by bad luck, and few were spared. However,
The appearance of Winston put an end to the theory of "hope" of doom. Why? Because nothing happened to Winston. The only time was when his wife had a problem on the plane, but luckily she was fine.
Later, Winston donated "Hope" to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, USA, where it has been stored ever since.
In fact, the so-called theory of doom is of course superstitious, but the reason can be explained. The "Star of Hope" is a rare treasure, and those who can buy it are either rich or noble. Such people are famous, and if something unexpected happens, they will become
It is the focus of discussion in the streets. Moreover, since ancient times, rare treasures are often accompanied by robbery and murder. Naturally, many people are watching behind their backs with jealousy. With the theory of bad luck, the owner will be punished even if something happens to his family.
It is automatically associated with "hope". How can a person's life be smooth sailing?
He also made a special investigation into Li Yi's world, and found that there was almost no big change from the "Star of Hope" in his memory. However, this was actually a gimmick.
I have to say that truck drivers are really good at doing tricks.
"Titanic" has naturally become the most watched and anticipated movie this year.
Because Li Yi actually rarely shoots "disaster movie" movies, this movie naturally attracted special attention.
In this world, "Titanic" is much smoother than the Truck Driver version, both in preparation and shooting.
When the movie was finalized, it took less than a year.
It can be said that it is definitely fast enough.
After the film was completed, publicity and distribution efforts began to increase.
Unlike Truck Driver, who didn't have high expectations for the movie at that time, so the announcement didn't keep up. Li Yi had absolute confidence in the film, so he went all out to promote it from the beginning.
The film will be released simultaneously around the world.
As the best director in the world, a director who has never failed, Li Yi's works have naturally attracted much attention, not to mention that this is not an art film, but a super large-scale production.
Therefore, after the schedule of "Titanic" was set, other movies began to avoid it.
Those who are stubborn have already experienced the fear of being dominated by the devil, and no one wants to have trouble with money!
Therefore, the treatment of "Titanic" is not much better than that of another time and space.
In the later stage of the film, Li Yi almost referred to the original version and reproduced it directly.
So the speed is also very fast.
The film took only one year to complete, and all the work was completed.
Regarding the first screening, Li Yi finally decided to put it in the beautiful country. There is no way, this is always a foreign language film.
It's not impossible to put it in China, it just doesn't make sense.
Soon it was time for the film’s first screening with critics and media members.
Dean Films started preparations very early, and film critics and media people from all over the world came to the scene immediately.
I want to see this "disaster movie" shot by Li Yi!
Yes, in the eyes of many people, "Titanic" is a disaster movie. This is not difficult to understand. After all, it is a real thing that happened in history. No one knows that this will be a very special and special movie.
disaster film.
The Chinese Grand Theater in Los Angeles, where the first media and film critics screening and premiere of "Titanic" will be held.
Dean Pictures is very familiar with this kind of thing.
Li Yi's film naturally attracted filmmakers from all over the world.
Even the star-studded level is no less than that of the Oscar Awards.
Every time someone walks on the red carpet, the audience who comes early to watch will always scream.
As a world-renowned director, Li Yi's films, especially large-scale productions, naturally receive such treatment.
However, what is interesting is that there are still some groups claiming to be descendants of "Titanic", holding signs outside the theater to protest.
In fact, they don't protest for just one or two days, they have to protest every once in a while.
For Li Yi, this is not a bad thing, because to some extent, it is a disguised promotion of the movie.
In fact, everyone knows whether these people's protests are sincere or have ulterior motives.
Maybe there are some people who are really protesting and think that Li Yi can't make such a movie, but there are some people who don't necessarily think so.
However, Li Yi believes that after today, all doubts will disappear.
If it were just a disaster movie, perhaps "Titanic" would not be particularly outstanding in this regard, but the problem is that the nature of "Titanic" as a disaster movie is just to serve love!
