I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 349
[Chapter 345 2 series plans]
?
Due to the lack of tidying up, the study became more messy. Books, drafts, folders and other items were piled up on several tables, and the entire west wall was also covered with drafts Going down the spiral staircase, Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow were simultaneously attracted by the wall-covered storyboards and various drafts.
“Eric, are you doing all of this?” Cameron asked in disbelief after reading the contents of the manuscripts from south to north. The content of the manuscript is too surprising. Although most of the sketches are split-shot scripts, there are also all aspects of film production. Cameron even saw a large part of the film related to special effects.
Feeling the surprise of the Cameron couple, Eric was very satisfied. Although he had already decided to cooperate with the Cameron couple, Eric could also see that although his film department was a big hit , but Cameron still despised him a little, and even in “Terminator 2” he obviously regarded himself as a fool with a lot of money.
Although Eric generally doesn’t care too much about what others think of him, he wants to maintain a long-term cooperation with a rebellious person like Cameron.
It is necessary to show enough strength to the opponent.
“This is my film project for the next few years. In fact, I have started to do it occasionally when I was in New York. What you see is the result of my days.” ; Cameron and Catherine Bigelow heard Eric’s words, and turned their eyes to the wall covered with manuscript paper again. The two of them just glanced at it roughly. At this time, Cameron noticed The content of those storyboards.
A terrifying tornado swept up an entire house, a giant Tyrannosaurus rex chased an off-road vehicle, a tsunami hundreds of meters high rushed into New York City, and Washington, D.C. was shrouded in a huge shadow… … Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow looked more and more surprised.
Because of this age, these images usually only appear in comics or novels, but now it seems.
Eric obviously wants to bring these pictures to the big screen with the mind of a live-action movie.
Katherine Bigelow was still calm, but Cameron’s eyes showed undisguised enthusiasm.
He felt as if a new era was about to begin.
After reviewing the storyboards again, Cameron asked, “Eric, how are you going to turn these ideas into a movie, I mean, you have a detailed feasibility plan Is it?”
“Of course,” Eric explained, “I’m going to spend the next ten years or so building two major series, in addition to the Jurassic Park series based on the novel I published two years ago. A disaster series.” “Disaster series?” Cameron turned his attention to the drawings again.
Eric walked up to Cameron, pointed to the content of some drawings and explained in detail: “Yes, a disaster film series that includes at least five films, you see, this piece is a The script is called “Tornado”, which mainly describes the story of a group of fanatical scientists chasing and studying tornadoes; here is the concept of an alien invasion of the earth, tentatively named “Independence Day”, but it seems that this name involves another copyright, no I know if I can get it smoothly; and here is a concept that a comet hits the earth and humans face destruction. The script is called “The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth”; and finally here. It is a story about a dramatic cooling of the global climate and most of the United States being frozen. I call it The Day After Tomorrow. The meaning is that we never know what will happen after tomorrow.” After Eric finished speaking, Cameron stretched out his hand and stroked the drawing on the wall for a long time before asking, “Eric, how do you plan to achieve this, can the current technology achieve it?” ; “Of course, as long as you’re willing to spend the money,” Eric said confidently: “Actually, these two series involve exactly what I imagined. Two directions for the future of special effects movies. I’ve talked to Stan and Ed before with them. We talked a few times and just came back from New York the other day. I also went to San Francisco just for these things.”
Even with Cameron’s madness.
Imagining Eric’s “Jurassic Park” series and disaster film series in his mind is still a bit incredible. As a technical director, Cameron is very clear about what the current special effects technology can do. Therefore, , He knew that although Eric’s films could certainly be made if they were filmed forcibly, each of them would definitely be astronomical.
Even Catherine Bigelow couldn’t help thinking that the little guy in front of him seemed to be even crazier than her husband.
Cameron did not seem to be too interested in the “Jurassic Park” series, but discussed the possibility of making a disaster film series with Eric enthusiastically.
“Eric, look, just as you said, for this “Tornado” with relatively simple special effects, how do you plan to truly show the tornado on the screen? As far as I know , now ILM’s most advanced special effects are difficult to show the tornado on the screen realistically.” Eric turned over and took out a document from his desk and handed it to James Cameron, Cameron felt a little surprised when he looked at the cover of the document. These should be very important things to Eric. However, since Eric gave it to him, Cameron was not pretentious and opened it directly. After reading it, Catherine Bigelow also curiously leaned over to her husband and looked at the contents of the document.
The document in front of me is roughly a proposal to entrust a research team led by a famous physicist at Stanford University to develop a set of fluid simulation software. The purpose of simulation software is to realize special effects such as smoke, flowing water, and strong wind on the computer.
