~： Six hundred and twenty-five - the real city of angels at night

For the project "Titanic", it was almost always made with bumps and stumblings along the way. Not only was 20th Century Fox drumming in his heart, but he had the idea to seal the project, but even Paramount Pictures, which was later tricked in, began to have the same idea.

After 20th Century Fox's $100 million was spent, James Cameron had no intention of restraining himself. On the surface, he claimed that he went to Mexico to shoot to save money. In fact, every expense made 20th Century Fox's heart skip a beat.

When Paramount Pictures invested more than 60 million US dollars, they also discovered that there was no official completion date yet, and all the filming was only halfway through at most.

No film company could accept such a result, and sent Laimeng Films to cut off the capital investment neatly, in a situation of wanting to stop losses as soon as possible. Twentieth Century Fox didn't look good at first sight, and the film finally had hope that it would be finished, so it started bloodletting and financing again, throwing money into it.

The production time of more than three years and the production cost of up to 200 million US dollars have also made the executives of 20th Century Fox the object of ridicule of the whole Hollywood.

Countless experiences in the circle are shown by Chi Luoluo. Projects like this procrastinating and constantly overdue have developed to the end. Even if they are reluctantly produced, they will not have any good results. Pit film companies don’t want them, and there are not a few film companies who let the film companies turn their backs.

"There's an interesting fact that you will definitely feel familiar with." After chatting for a while, Townsend-Rothman said in a low voice pretending to be mysterious.

"uh-huh?"

"I remember it was in late '93 or early '94." Townsend-Rothman raised his hand, scratched the hair on his head, and said with a hint of ill will at the corner of his mouth: "You were filming in Canada during the time of "The Clown" , the crew was poisoned and all turned over, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey."

Seeing what Wayne wanted to say, Townsend Rothman stretched out his finger, shook it from side to side between the two, and said with a smile: "I remember very clearly, there were many media reports at the time, and you were all brought down. , sent to the hospital for rescue.

This time James also received the same treatment. I heard that when he was shooting at sea, he severely reprimanded a camera assistant. "

"God! James was also brought down by poisoning?" Naomi Watts, who was sitting quietly on the side, straightened her upper body in surprise, and asked with obvious surprise in her tone: "God, it can't be true. right?"

No one knows more about the poisoning incident during the "Joker's Return" period than she does. Fortunately, it was filmed in Canada at the time. The report on the North American side did not last long. If it was filmed in North America, it might end up causing trouble. How long.

Naomi Watts was in Wayne's hospital for a few days, but she was watching every step of the way. If it wasn't for the poisoning incident, it's not certain whether the child between the two would have existed.

"That's right."

Townsend-Rothman shrugged, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more pronounced. "Everyone knows that James is not only a violent temper in the crew, but also in his life. It is estimated that the camera assistant, fed up with his temper, poisoned the crew's working meal that day.

James was not spared. Many crew members were poisoned and entered the hospital. He was just a little bit luckier than you. The camera assistant could only find stimulant poisons, so he only stayed in the hospital for a few days before returning to the crew to continue. Work done. "

"f**k! Director is really a high-risk profession!"

Naomi Watts completely disregarded her ladylike image, and rarely made a foul language directly.

Several people laughed out loud, yes, if you look at this matter, the director is really a high-ranking profession. James Cameron and Wayne are not the first unlucky directors in the filming circle. , and will never be the last, there are countless wonderful crews of all kinds.

Twenty minutes later, after waiting for the crowd around the creative team of "Titanic" to disperse, Wayne and the others simply said hello and left the hotel in a low-key manner. The protagonists tonight are not them. Even if it is nearly half a year from now, the protagonists will be the two men in the hotel.

It was past midnight, and the Greenberg Manor seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke. Except for the moon hanging in the sky, the entire manor fell into a deep sleep.

The lights were dimly visible in the distance, and the city seemed to really come to life after the warm California sun had receded. Although the sky was completely dark, the temperature in the air was still there. The slight wind was blowing along the balcony, and the sultry air was continuously sent into the bedroom of the main building of the manor.

"Extreme poverty and great wealth coexist in the City of Angels."

On the lounge chair on the balcony, Wayne was wearing a bathrobe, and there were faint drops of water on his hair. It was obvious that he had just walked out of the bathroom within two minutes. Holding a bottle of cold beer in his hand, he raised his head to take a breath from time to time, but looked at the lights in the distance and muttered in a low voice.

Similar words have been appearing in Naomi Watts' ears in different forms since she came to this city, but tonight, she had a deeper experience.

The Australian actress, also dressed in a white bathrobe, squeezed directly into Wayne's large lounge chair. He stretched out a bottle of beer from the ice bucket in his hand, wrapped his arms around his legs, and also looked at the lights under Beverly Hills.

After they came back from the hotel tonight, just because they wanted to go to a convenience store, the scene on a street once again made her feel what the real Los Angeles was like.

"skidrow." The woman whispered the name of the street.

"That's right."

Wayne leaned back on the reclining chair, looked at the woman's back near Chi Chi, nodded and said, "Sergey usually calls that street Seventh Street, and to a certain extent, that's what most people think of as Los Angeles. "

He still remembers Naomi Watts' surprised expression when the Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into the street from the bustling and bustling Little Tokyo because he wanted to take a shortcut. Australian actresses must have never been exposed to the slums of Los Angeles at night, which is one of the poorest streets.

"It seems to be a dilapidated wall like a building in the last century, garbage can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street, and various food residues, syringes thrown on the ground..."

Maybe Naomi Watts didn't know how to describe the sense of difference, but she could clearly see that under the dilapidated tents connected one by one on both sides of the street, there were colored people of different shapes. The eyes of those people looking at the car were full of greed and fear radiating from their bones.

It is precisely this terrifying scene that will completely disappear from people's eyes after the sun comes out, and no one knows where these people have gone.

"Hey, forget about that."

Wayne had seen the same scene more than once before. He reached out and dragged the woman into his arms, shaking his head with a smile. "That **** life has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with you, of course, and nothing to do with our little Fendi."

"Wayne, you animal, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, it's useless to use warmth."

Naomi Watts pursed her lips, her white fingers stretched directly into the man's bathrobe and pinched hard. "You can call Cate Blanchett and see if he has time to fool around with you!"

Thick-skinned, he had long since been fused into Wayne's blood, his expression remained unchanged, and he blew into the woman's ear. "Ha, dear Ms. Watts, don't you think it's been a long time since we played those exciting games? Don't you miss it at all?"

Having been with him since 1990, Naomi Watts didn't know the man beside her. She rolled her eyes helplessly, stood up from the reclining chair as if resigned, pouted at the man, and turned to the man in the cloakroom. Going in the direction, their game equipment is all there.

"No, no, no. Nami."

Who knew that Wayne hurriedly stopped her before she walked out of the balcony. In the suspicious eyes of the other party, the man shrugged and pouted at the night sky outside the balcony. "Dear Ms. Watts, don't you envy Ruth at all? I have a bold idea. Would you like to try and let me paint you a picture?"

"Aha?"

Recalling the scene in tonight's movie, Naomi Watts best brought a smile, yes, she also likes this kind of ingenious little game So she happily took off the bathrobe The tie, while walking back, left a white bathrobe in place.

As a matter of fact, Wayne knows a lot about painting. With his level of painting, he can usually handle the level of a storyboard draft. He has absolutely no idea what the so-called painting art is.

When he saw Naomi Watts imitating Ruth in the movie and leaning in the reclining chair, he didn't even bother to do it, just observed it with a smile for a while, and couldn't wait to walk to the woman.

When the sunshine in Los Angeles appeared again, the entire Greenberg Manor seemed to come alive again. The patrolling security personnel, the weeding gardeners, and several female staff members who helped back and forth constituted the busy morning of the manor.

"Dear, the newspapers are covering the Titanic, do you want to see it?"

With a towel around his neck, Wayne jogged from the garden to the living room, Naomi Watts had a breakfast in front of her, and asked, "Bath or eat first, with a stack of newspapers in her hand. breakfast?"

"Let's have breakfast together."

Since today is the weekend and the crew is resting on a daily basis, Wayne rarely has time to run two laps in the morning. He has been working for a long time, so that even though he is approaching 30 years old, he still maintains the figure when he graduated.

I don't usually have time to exercise, and the reason why I don't get fat like most directors in the circle is simply because of the busy and continuous work.

"How did the media feel about Titanic?"

Holding up a glass of milk, Wayne sat opposite the Australian actress and asked while drinking.

Naomi Watts shook her head and said: "It's not good, all the film critics have a negative attitude towards the film, and so is the trend in the media."
