Chatty Hollywood

Speaking of James Cameron, we have to talk about his hobby of diving.

It can be said that the boss "Kashen" is often diving when he is not filming movies.

——In both senses, yes.

Moreover, his hobby is not the ordinary diving of carrying an oxygen tank and diving tens to more than a hundred meters, but deep diving.

——The kind of deep diving that is difficult for ordinary submarines to reach.

In fact, after the release of "Titanic" in the future, Cameron has been diving deep for a long time.

This is because although Big Boat's box office performance is extremely brilliant, Cameron's reputation as the "Bouncer King" has been completely established.

For several years after that, he was not very popular with major Hollywood studios.

There is no way, what if he bounces the ticket again?

Before "Titanic" was released, Fox's top executives could be prepared to kill Cameron first and then commit collective suicide if it failed.

Naturally, the bosses of other production companies will not fail to hear this.

Anyway, in the years after "Titanic", it was more difficult for Cameron to make big productions.

Of course, given his status, it would be no problem to make a large-scale production.

But the problem is that at that time, Cameron was already famous and had no challenging work. Why would he do it?

"the purpose of living is to change the world!"

Although Cameron is not Steve Jobs, he is undoubtedly the most determined practitioner of this sentence in the film industry.

Therefore, during that time, Cameron, who "no one supported the movies he was willing to make, and was too lazy to make the movies others supported", went diving freely.

He even took the opportunity to do deep diving and filmed several documentaries about deep diving.

Like "Return to the Bismarck Battleship", "Volcano of the Deep", "Ghost of the Abyss", "Alien of the Deep"...

During those seven or eight years,

Cameron almost perfected the deep dive.

Although to a certain extent, this was also Cameron accumulating and experimenting with 3D technology for the later "Avatar", but Charlotte didn't believe it if he didn't have any personal interests involved.

In fact, during the preparation of "Titanic", Cameron used Fox's money, both public and private, to go deep into the place where the Titanic sank.

Of course, there is a high-sounding reason——

He wanted to actually photograph the wreckage of the Titanic in the sea and use it directly as a modern exploration scene in the movie.

Moreover, he also settled the accounts with Fox's senior executives——

Using the highest level of models and digital special effects at the time to complete these shots would have cost millions of dollars, so it would have been cheaper to have him go there in person.

In this case, Fox, who had no choice but to be calculated by Cameron, could only grant the great master US$500,000 to allow him to inspect the site where the Titanic died.

And that inspection experience was indeed filmed by him for about 15 minutes, and was finally edited into the movie "Titanic"...

Now, what Charlotte suspected was that Cameron encountered some ghost during this deep-sea expedition.

"And brought them back?"

In his mind, after listening to Charlotte's explanation, Charlize understood what he meant.

"So, are you saying that the one causing trouble on the set of "Titanic" is a water ghost?"

When she first met Charlotte, Charlize had heard him tell about the water ghost.

Later, in the process of learning spells from him, the girl learned more knowledge, so she was deeply impressed by the water ghost.

"Are those water ghosts the real ghosts of the victims on the Titanic?"

"You can say yes, you can say no."

Glancing at Cameron who was frowning in memory, Charlotte continued to explain to Charlize,

"Just like Alexis, people will turn into ghosts depending on the way they die, but the probability of this is quite low. In contrast, ghosts born from human hearts are more likely. big."

"A ghost born from the human heart!?"

"That's right!"

Charlotte's tone was a little helpless;

"You know, after the Titanic sank in 1912, various ghost legends about it sprang up like weeds. In this case, people who heard the stories would instinctively demystify the shipwreck——"

"So, you are saying that people's inner fantasies gave birth to the water ghosts on the Titanic!?"

Charlize couldn't believe Charlotte's explanation.

"This statement is as if people are extremely bored and want to create ghosts to kill themselves."

"That's pretty much the truth! Otherwise, why would horror movies be so popular?"

Charlotte smiled bitterly and said,

"I have recently realized that in movies, deliberately creating fear to scare the audience is not actually the most magical effect - letting the audience create the object of fear themselves is the most effective."

"The object of your own fear?"

"Yes."

Charlotte explained,

"In ancient times, when dangers and ghosts were rampant, people needed heroes in order to fight against ghosts, so heroes could borrow power from people's hearts. This can be said to be one of the sources of magic;"

"In modern society, with the advent of Cole's prosperity, ghosts have gradually disappeared. However, because of people's peaceful life, their need for excitement is increasing day by day. Now, they want to act as heroes, so they need to give birth to ghosts."

"This kind of anode and yin is another factor that causes a lot of ghosts in Hollywood——"

"Not only because Hollywood, as the world's entertainment center, gathers the dark sides of people all over the world, but also because people have a need for ghosts in their hearts."

"..."

At this time, Charlize's thoughts could no longer be described as stunned.

She felt that Charlotte's words seemed to be summed up as - ghosts are the embodiment of people's desire to die.

This conclusion made the girl feel a little ridiculous, but she didn't know how to refute it. In fact, she even agreed deep down...

Fortunately, Cameron, who had been reminiscing for a long time, finally spoke again,

"I went to investigate the sinking site of the Titanic on the Russian scientific research ship Mir. After that expedition, I did get sick once, and it was also a severe cold, but this should have nothing to do with the current situation, right?"

"I don't know about this."

Charlotte shrugged on the surface, but said to Charlize in her heart,

"That's probably it. The ones causing trouble in this crew are water ghosts - although I don't know whether they are the real ghosts of the Titanic or whether they are the fantasies of meddlers."

"Yeah?"

Charlize still doesn’t understand.

"But according to your statement, if it's a water ghost that's causing trouble, why do everyone in the crew catch a cold? Shouldn't they be drowned?"

"Because most of the people who died on the Titanic did not drown!"
