Chapter 471 The ‘Secret’ of “Titanic”

Los Angeles.

"Dad! I'm actually the leading actor, haha... I still feel like I'm in a dream!"

"You deserve this, who else could you be if you didn't?"

"But this really feels like a dream."

"Believe me, kid, your dream has just begun."

The good news has actually come before, DiCaprio got the leading actor role in "Titanic".

Of course he wanted to share it with his dear 'dad', and Gary Oldman also sent his sincere blessings.

However, the incident itself fully exposed many problems in Hollywood.

The efficiency here is too low.

My own 'biological son' Xiao Li Zi, he is so handsome, is there anyone more suitable for the leading role in this movie than him?

It should be decided on the spot, why go through those time-wasting procedures.

But this is Hollywood, and this Hollywood...well, Gary Oldman failed.

Farke!

Those bastards!

As expected, Gary Oldman didn't get any roles. Although this outcome was foreseen from the beginning, he was still a little unwilling to do so.

Twentieth Century Fox is a company that is a stronghold of conservatives. They are simply... doing all kinds of bad things!

Well, this matter should be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

As far as this "Titanic" is concerned, there is really no role that suits him very well.

However, my son and ‘wife’ both got the roles, but I didn’t. This is really unacceptable!

Fortunately, I had discussed this matter with Takeshi Iwata before, and now that the result has come out, Gary Oldman can still accept it.

Although I am still not willing to give in, I am really not willing to give in.

In addition, his current marriage to Uma Thurman is almost over.

Not bad, both of them are relatively free and easy-going. Besides, they are not short of money, especially Uma Thurman, she is basically a little princess.

In terms of finance, the two of them won't have too many problems, and they are a good example of how they can get together and separate easily.

In this case……

Is the popularity of your topic less popular?

Thinking about it this way, I seem to be even more unwilling to do so.

This guy Gary Oldman is in this kind of mood right now, it's very weird.

Fortunately, as the saying goes, the miserable life of Gary Oldman was saved by a phone call.

"Hey, is it Gary?"

"That's me, James, what made you think of calling me?"

To be honest, this phone call made Gary Oldman very excited.

It's not his fault, I really can't blame him, and besides, his performance is good enough.

Because this call is from James Cameron!

Yes, that's the director of "Titanic", the one Gary Oldman really wanted to work with.

So, you can imagine how Gary Oldman was feeling.

Could it be because of the role...probably not.

Gary knows better. After all, the final confirmation of this kind of thing actually depends on those big companies, namely Twentieth Century Fox.

But, to Gary's great surprise, James Cameron said so.

"First of all, I must emphasize that I very much approve of your acting skills, but the problem with this movie... let's not talk about it. Let's talk about some more interesting topics, okay?"

"This is great!"

Gary Oldman thought of some plans between himself and Takeshi Iwata at that time, and now the opportunity has come.

Sure enough, James Cameron extended an olive branch.

Although I didn't get to play any roles, after all, my 'son' and 'wife' both appeared in this movie.

Moreover, James Cameron also said a lot of things.

For example, he also has a lot of dissatisfaction with 20th Century Fox.

"A guy like this actually wants to teach me how to make a movie, Frank..."

As the two chatted, their relationship became closer and closer, and they dared to say anything.

Gary Oldman feels that the opportunity has come.

Soon, James Cameron invited Gary Oldman to join his team as a consultant.

Consultant, then you can know the performance.

This will definitely help the 'son' and 'wife'.

Well, in fact, Kathy Bates is an Oscar-winning actress, and you, Gary Oldman, are not necessarily better than her.

Of course, we all know that even if Kathy is a movie queen, it is difficult for her to play a heroine.

At present, the aesthetics of Hollywood are relatively normal, and there are too few heroines suitable for plus-size ladies like Kathy.

But are you just a consultant on acting?

Gary Oldman readily agreed, and then he thought a lot...

…

The company Industrial Light and Magic was originally born because George Lucas wanted to shoot "Star Wars".

And with so many years of development, Hollywood as a whole seems to have finally realized it.

It’s great to have such a company. The various movie special effects produced by this company definitely represent the future of movies on this planet.

As a result, the company no longer had to worry about money, and George Lucas naturally became more and more famous.

Of course, Lucas's good friend Spielberg also likes to engage in technology, but he is not a completely technical man.

It should be said that there are indeed a large number of excellent Hollywood movies in this era, but in fact, this era is also an era of choices.

How should it develop in the future?

Where will Hollywood movies go from here?

Should we take the technical route, or should we go on a scale and system as before and shoot many films with more humanistic care?

Some people just choose technology, such as Zemeckis, who was just crowned Oscar Best Director.

His new film, at least what he said himself, is that he plans to make a completely CG film, and it will all be computer CG.

Of course, before this movie, he also planned to make a science fiction film, or to be precise, he just finished filming it, called "Contact."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The male protagonist is Matthew McConaughey and the female protagonist is Jodie Foster.

Obviously, this movie should be made to break even the cost of an all-CG masterpiece, but I don’t know if it’s possible.

Gary Oldman heard these things when he came to Industrial Light and Magic.

In his opinion, it is really a very interesting era now, and many directors are making transformations.

They are embracing technology, and in the future there will be many movies with beautiful images that are beyond imagination.

In fact, as far as what Gary is thinking about right now...he still can't imagine how far it will develop in the future.

Fortunately, James Cameron didn't keep him waiting.

"Hey, come and see our set!"

"That's great! By the way, is it a big ship from back then?"

"Haha...guess."

James Cameron is very enthusiastic, and the problem with this ship is also very interesting.

Why does Gary Oldman ask that?

In fact, before the filming of the movie started, James Cameron once said that if he could, he really wanted to copy the song "Big Wheel".

Well, building another Titanic seems like a really genius idea.

But, is this possible?

No matter what, Gary Oldman talked about this issue, and he really knows how to speak.

Soon, the answer was revealed.
