1250. Ocean Dream (5/5)

Later, Cameron introduced him some rules of the movie. In terms of choosing the theme of the movie, the main consideration is to consider the requirements of the investors and the director.

For ordinary directors, they first have a suitable script, and after the investor takes a fancy to it, they will select a director to shoot, then choose a role and a location to start shooting.

But for famous directors, especially those of Cameron's level, it's different. They all publish their own notebooks and then go to investors to get sponsorships. In other words, as long as they don't have enough money, Cameron will shoot whatever he wants.

For the film industry, Cameron is a genius. He has not systematically learned film shooting knowledge. He is self-taught in film. However, after participating in the crew of "The First Blood 2", he produced super hot-selling movies such as "Alien", "Terminator", and "Titanic" in the early days.

Stirring the coffee with a spoon, Cameron smiled and said, "I used to be an extremely heroic person, so I would join the crew of "The First Blood". But then I realized that that was not what I wanted, I should shoot something I like, and the ocean is what I like."

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Then we have a common hobby, and I like the ocean too."

Cameron shook his head and said, "It's different. You like the ocean because it's true. I like the ocean because it's my mystery. I like the unknown it represents. This is the vitality of my creation."

Instead of continuing, he changed the topic and asked, "What kind of novel do you like to read when you were in school?"

Qin Shiou thought for a while and said, "It should be a fairy tale, right? A kind of online literature culture in China is very interesting."

As he said that, he suddenly had other thoughts in his mind: "Hi. Guy, how about we work together to make a big fairy movie? Our country has many suitable themes, and I can inject funds into you, how about it?"

Cameron laughed, but did not answer his words. Instead, he continued his topic on his own: "My favorite thing when I was in school was science fiction. Whether I was on the school bus or during breaks, I would read science fiction when I had time."

Qin Shiou nodded and said he could understand. Cameron was born in the 1950s. When he went to school in the 1960s and 1970s, because of the popularity of satellite TV. Canada entered the first big explosion of knowledge. He once listened to Winnie's parents chatting. Like Cameron, they were full of love for science fiction novels when they were young.

"The constant contact with science fiction made me think that aliens don't necessarily live in outer space. They are likely to live on our planet. So at the age of 15, I decided to be a diver, know what I think?" Cameron asked with a smile.

Qin Shiou guessed: "Do you think aliens live in the deep sea?"

Cameron nodded with a big laugh and asked, "Does it feel like I was stupid at that time?"

Qin Shiou said: "No, maybe there are really aliens in the deep sea. Even without aliens, there are many things that humans have never reached. If we have a thorough understanding of the ocean, we will definitely be surprised."

With the heart of the sea god, the ocean is his back garden. Qin Shiou has been wandering around one acre of three-point land in the North Atlantic Ocean. He chatted with Cameron like this, and listening to his speculation about the ocean when he was a teenager, Qin Shiou felt that he might have to go to other sea areas to take a look.

The boss started serving food and eating, and Cameron talked about his childhood and his teenage life.

Qin Shiou knew that the great director was Canadian, but he didn't know that he was born in a small mountain village in Ontario. The nearest sea is only 6 miles away.

After learning about this world from TV and science fiction novels, Cameron developed a sense of expectation for the ocean. Qin Shiou was also full of expectation for the ocean when he was a child. But his father didn't even let him go down the river. When he was in elementary school, he would inevitably beat him up.

Cameron is much luckier than that. His father supported his dream of exploring the ocean and found a diving training class in Buffalo, New York, USA across the border. Later, he obtained his first diving certificate in a large swimming pool in Buffalo.

When they were young, because of Cameron's work needs, they moved to California, the United States. California has a long coastline and is the best diving resort in the United States. There, Cameron spent a pretty perfect teenager and became a teenage diving expert.

Later, he went to college and graduated to come into contact with movies. What really made Cameron soar was the filming of "Titanic". That movie allowed the great director to win the Oscar for Best Director, and once again made him realize the vast, mysterious and colorful oceans.

In the past, Cameron's understanding of the ocean was through diving and TV books. When filming the Titanic, the crew hired a submarine, and through the submarine Cameron entered an unprecedented field and came into contact with more things in the ocean.

To this end, after finishing the filming of "Titanic", Cameron directly terminated his film career and went to wander the ocean with some extreme adventure organizations. Until now, Cameron still has a good impression of the ocean. Most of the movies he shoots rely on fantasy, and the ocean is a complete fantasy world.

Although the movie he wanted to shoot this time is the same as "Titanic", the type is different. The Titanic is a disaster romance film. What he wants to shoot this time is a marine disaster film that shows extreme personal heroism.

The related idea appeared in the autumn two years ago, and then the rescue incident of Harvest in the storm occurred. This incident was a huge topic at the time, so Cameron had an idea and wanted to use this IP to develop a similar movie.

In this way, there was the idea of ​​the movie "The Angry Sea" and the intersection between Cameron and Qin Shiou. At that time, he accepted Cole's invitation to attend the Strauss family dinner. One of the purposes was to get to know Qin Shiou and improve his movie ideas through him.

Now everything is in the right direction. As long as Nimitz returns to the team, he can shoot movies in full swing.

This meal was actually Cameron's urge to Qin Shiou, and he hoped that Nimitz could come to the crew as soon as possible.

He was short-mouthed when he was separated. Qin Shiou patted his chest and promised that he would find a way to take Nimitz to Miami when he went back.

After receiving his assurance, Cameron sighed and said, "If I had known that a meal would solve this problem, why wouldn't I invite you to dinner earlier?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "It's not too late now. Nimitz is a very smart bird. Just do your preparations. The shooting of it will definitely go smoothly and will not take up any time." (To be continued)
