Chapter 1145 "Titanic" Chapter 1146 Stir-fried cabbage!(2/2)
"Look at your script? When did I read your script? I didn't touch your script from Jimmy." I pointed to the script on hand in Griffith and laughed.
"But boss, then why are you..." Griffiths's face showed an incredible look.
Looking at his expression, I suddenly understood what the film was filmed in Griffith.
Titanic! Could it be that he really took pictures of Titanic!
Griffith shoots Titanic!? This is something I have never heard of in the history of film!
"David! You really made a movie about that big ship fifteen years ago!?" Stenberg was stunned in surprise.
Fifteen years ago, wouldn’t that meant that Griffith started shooting five years after the Titanic sank!?
Instead of answering Stenborough’s question, Griffith sat on the sofa and laughed.
"Stenborg, let David finish this story." I motioned Griffith to continue.
"I was very moved by the story of that middle-aged man. I think such a shipwreck would become a good movie if it was made into a movie. And I have a feeling that I feel that with such a huge background, the life and death relationship between two people as the main line, it will definitely make this movie full of flesh and blood."
"I told the middle-aged man about my wishes. When I showed that I would shoot a movie based on his affairs, he was stunned. I thought he would refuse, but later, he agreed. He sat on the port and told me in detail the story of his on board."
"I asked the middle-aged man why he stayed in the port in New York. He said that New York was the end of the passenger ship, the end of the ship that never reached. He felt that the soul of his lover stayed there."
"After getting to know that middle-aged man, I checked the relevant information. Because I think if it was such a huge shipwreck accident, there would definitely be reports. But if you don't check it, you will scare me. As big as the middle-aged man said, there will only be one of the shipwreck accidents in those years, and that is the Titanic!"
"I was shocked! I was completely shocked! This shipwreck that shocked the world was once widely circulated in the world, and I was deeply shocked, but I really didn't expect to move this incident into my movie!"
"It was also that moment. I made up my mind that I would bring this shipwreck to the screen! I would bring this story to the screen! I reported this story to the board of directors, and the board of directors was very satisfied with it and was willing to invest in the filming of this movie."
"My script was written quickly and the movie started filming soon. We wanted to bring a surprise to Americans in Hollywood and all over the world, so the shooting of this movie was a complete secret. When I was shooting this movie, I was very cautious. Now, I think about it. There are really few movies that can make me feel cautious."
"During the break, I occasionally went back to that port and occasionally met the middle-aged man. The movie was filmed for more than 6 months. At the end, when I was approaching the end, I went to the middle-aged man as I used to. I wanted to tell him that I had filmed such a movie, a movie that commemorated his love and commemorated the shipwreck incident. But that time, I didn't find him in the port."
"At the beginning, I thought he just didn't come, but I contacted him for more than a week and still didn't find him. Later, I sent someone to inquire, but I heard from the people at the port that he was sailing out to sea in a dancing weather and never came back."
"At the beginning, I didn't know why he had to sail out for a boat. I've known him for so long, and I never found out that he had left the port. In fact, most of the time, he was firmly telling the reason why he stayed in the port. He said that he had been waiting there all his life. But why did he have to sail out for a boat?"
"Later, I understood. I felt that he missed his lover so much. He wanted to sail the boat to find her and sleep with her on the bottom of the sea."
"I returned from the port and I was in the office and didn't want to shoot that movie. I began to watch the films where we were filming over and over again. I was very satisfied with those films before, but since that happened, I suddenly felt that they were so false! Really, the stories on the films and the performances of the actors were so false! They were so far away from the shipwreck, it was entirely from our imagination. Similarly, it had no connection with the middle-aged man and his lover, they were so pale!"
"At that time, the movie was over, and there was still not much content to be finished. I hid in the office and didn't come out immediately, annoyed the board of directors. They sent someone to tell me that I must shoot this movie because it would be very profitable. Their words made me feel even more sad. In the eyes of film producers, such a thing is just for making money."
"It was also at that time that I felt that the movie I shot was simply blasphemy that lovers were simply blasphemy that people who died in the shipwreck."
"On that night, I came to that port with the film I shot. In the midnight wind, I lit those films and let their ashes fly to the sea in the wind!"
"For me, this approach may be the best way to comfort the lovers! It makes me feel very comfortable
"And later on, you should be able to think that the people on the board of directors of the company were furious about my approach! I did this and made the company's investment of 1.2 million US dollars in vanish! What was the concept of 1.2 million US dollars fifteen years ago? You should also know. "I did that, which brought me huge harm and losses, but I had no regrets. Because I felt that I did something that I could feel at ease. It was also from that time that Hollywood people had a huge disgust towards me. Especially the bosses of major Hollywood film companies, after that, no bosses of the film companies would invest easily. That thing was the turning point in my career, and since then, I began to go downhill."
Griffith recalled the past, his expression was very excited and his lips trembled.
"David, you did it right! I support you!" Stiller patted Griffith on the shoulder and shouted.
Griffith smiled bitterly and said, "This movie was overwhelmed. I only left a script. This script has been pressing on the bottom of my drawer for more than ten years. I never touched it again. Every time I see it, my heart twitched."
"Sometimes, I think again, what would have happened if that movie was not destroyed by me. Maybe my film career would have a different development, maybe David Griffith would never be like this now. But more often, when I think of this script and this movie, I always feel a little disappointed in my heart, and this loss becomes stronger and stronger as time goes by. In the end, I even feel like I am about to suffocate."
"Many times, I want to pick up the camera again. After so many years, I have been thinking about this matter and what this shipwreck has left us. These thoughts have accumulated in my mind for more than ten years, and began to brew slowly and slowly accumulate. Finally, they formed a story on their own and a movie in my mind."
"I was like a sleepwalker. I unconsciously rewrite the script. This script took me almost five years. During these five years, I built a huge kingdom bit by bit like a bee. When I finally completed this work, I felt shocked again."
"I was a little scared and a little backed down. I felt that shooting this movie would still make me feel that the whole movie was much lighter than that incident. My goal is to reproduce the tragedy in a complete and profound way. If this requirement cannot be met, I would rather not shoot it!"
"This is my requirement for myself and also for this movie. I hope this movie cannot carry any utilitarian color. It must be profound and pure!"
"And such movies could not be produced in Hollywood fifteen years ago. Nowadays, only our DreamWorks are qualified to produce such movies. In the past two years, I have also been thinking about whether I want to shoot this movie and make this movie a part of the DreamWorks movie. But I seem to have the will but not enough."
"Maybe my abilities are really limited. Many times I feel that my ideas cannot fully display that history, and as long as there is any trace of separation, I will not shoot. This is my belief."
Griffith murmured to himself, making us all silent.
I'm sure that what he said was completely his heart. It's very likely that he had never said to anyone for so many years, never!
And the reason I chose to tell us now is probably because he feels that the time is ripe.
"David, do you think our DreamWorks will not desecrate that accident when shooting this movie now?" I asked word by word at Griffith.
"To be honest, I don't know much, but boss, I believe in our DreamWorks people! In Hollywood, there is no purer filmmaker than our DreamWorks! If we are not qualified to shoot, then there is absolutely no film company in Hollywood that is qualified to shoot. But boss, I think sometimes I really can't complete this movie perfectly. So, if you want to shoot, I hope everyone can work together." Griffith looked at the people next to him, his eyes full of desire.
And Stenberg, Stiller and his group of people were filled with excitement and expectation.
The Titanic shipwreck is a famous event and is well-known in the United States and Europe. Putting such a story on the screen will definitely become a grand event in the history of film and will definitely cause a sensation across the United States. What's more, those who participate in this movie will inevitably leave their names in the history of film.
As a filmmaker, nothing is more attractive than this one!
"David! I love this script! If possible. I hope to be able to collaborate!"
"David! I support you! I can help you!"
A group of people were excited and rubbed their hands.
Looking at the people around, Griffith nodded with relief.
"Boss, what do you think?" Griffith asked, looking at me.
He understood that in this regard, I was the one who said the most. And after knowing me for so many years and working for so long, Griffith understood that if I could join the creation of this movie, it would definitely make the movie perfectly presented. And letting the movie be expressed most fully is his greatest wish.
"Boss, please check it out for us! This time, let's join forces to do another big thing! We will use this movie to bombard Hollywood and make 1932 a DreamWorks Year!" Stenberg shouted excitedly.
I laughed, then took the script from Griffith's hand and said, "I can't promise you now, let's talk about it after I've finished reading this script."
My words made Stenborough and others look at each other. But Griffith smiled. "The boss is right, you should read the script first. Boss, I believe you! When you read them, you feel that those places are not good. You can change them!" Griffith squeezed his eyes at me.
In the next two days, I asked Jimmy to stand guard, and I began to read Griffith's script carefully, and sometimes I would make a lot of modifications.
Dreamworks has been established for so long, and I have never changed the script so seriously. I have never changed the script for those in the director team before, but I have not been so attentive. Maybe it was because Griffith's attitude that infected me, maybe it was Titanic's tragic shipwreck accident that infected me, making me feel that I must treat this movie solemnly, just like treating my own heart solemnly.
During these two days, no one came to disturb me. They knew how much I value this movie, and they also knew that DreamWorks might have another big battle this time!
However, it can be felt that DreamWorks people are eager for such a big battle. Because of such a big battle, it means that DreamWorks will win glory again and again, and its status in Hollywood will become increasingly consolidated.
And during these two days, I was simply enduring the torture. This torture mainly comes from two aspects.
First, Griffith made this movie from Griffith. It was fifteen years ago. At that time, he had already begun to work hard to create the best movies, and in the following years, especially in the past five years, he has been rewriting this script.
Although Griffith modestly said that he sometimes seems to be willing but not capable, you should know that in Hollywood, he is an absolute master! In terms of grasping movies and writing scripts, his level has reached the pinnacle. In Hollywood today, few people have higher screenwriters than him.
A script he spent fifteen years to create was placed in front of me for me to modify, and what I had to do was to improve the level of the script so that it could perfectly and profoundly reproduce the tragedy of that history. This matter became extremely difficult! Because I had to go further than Griffith.
Secondly, the biggest pressure comes from the movie itself. Griffith said he wanted to shoot a perfect movie. I understand what he meant. Pursuing perfection has always been a dream factory goal, but a perfect movie means that the movie must reach an unprecedented peak in terms of artistic nature, the characteristics of the movie itself, and even in viewability. This is very difficult. For me, the most painful thing was also encountered by Griffith, that is, there is an obstacle in front of me, and this obstacle is myself.
How to create a movie that surpasses yourself is definitely the most difficult thing!
So, during the past two days, I turned over and adjusted the script like a stir-fried cabbage, and completed my transformation in pain as if I was a snake shedding her skin.
Fortunately, this transformation was very successful.
Griffith's script is completely different from other people's scripts. First of all, such a huge historical event is completely concentrated on a young man and woman in the overall framework of the script. Although "Titanic" has such a movie in later generations, I don't plan to bring it all over. Because Griffith's attitude towards the movie, he wanted to make the final effect of the filming of the movie obviously different from that of later generations. He was like a serious sculptor, who merged time into the stone and then carved out the meaning of life. It is also for this reason that I must be serious and serious.
The second is the accumulation of experience and the experience of life. In this regard, I obviously cannot compare to Griffith, who is almost sixty years old. When a person reaches his age, he has experienced the ups and downs of life, has seen through this world of world and all living beings. His heart is transcendent and can look at the world from a very high angle, and I have struggled to do this.
I haven't reached his level, but if I want to complete this script, I have to work hard to climb and understand Griffith's state of mind when I was creating, because only in this way can I understand the essence of this movie.
But later, I finished the script.
When the last script was placed in front of Griffith, I rubbed my swollen eyes and laughed.
This time, it seems we are going to bring another tsunami to Hollywood!
After looking at the comment section, someone guessed "Titanic" without any prompts. Xiao Zhang could only give him a thumbs up and say, "You are awesome! Haha.
Today is the last day of staying at school, and then I have to take the train back to Beijing. The matter here has come to an end and the student life has come to an end.
Last night, I chatted with a few of Qidian's typing words, and several of them were facing graduation like me. A group of people were very helpful. When talking about students' days and Qidian's days, everyone sighed. When I was in school, I didn't think that students' lives were good, but after leaving school and entering society, I realized that those days were so nostalgic.
Therefore, those who are still in school must cherish it.
I looked at the monthly tickets, 580 and 39, which has risen several times from yesterday. For those who support Xiao Zhang, I will not say anything. I will repay you with typing!
Chapter completed!
