Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On a newly renovated 10,000-ton cruise ship off the coast of New York!  A Chinese man with a Chinese face quickly passed between the restaurant and the guest room of the cruise ship.

    Behind him were two European and American men, one middle school and one old.  The younger one is about thirty years old, and the top of his head is slightly bald.  Following closely behind the Chinese man, the older man was about fifty years old, walking in front of the two of them. As he walked, he explained the design of the cruise ship to the two people behind him.

    "I have carefully read the notes of Thomas Drews and the design information of the Titanic that Mr. Diller gave me before!"

    "And I have also compared the Titanic with this cruise ship. The Titanic is 269 meters long and 28 meters wide; the ship is 21 meters long and 20 meters wide; the total displacement of the Titanic is approx.  46,300 tons; and the total displacement of this ship is about 28,000 tons. In terms of practical value alone, this ship is not on the same level as the Titanic, but if it is used as a pure prop.  The ship can be used as a model for the Titanic, and if you use this ship as a model for the Titanic, you don't even need special effects. You only need to have a little idea about the shooting method, and it can be completely included in the shot.  Restore the scene of the Titanic.¡±

    This elderly man is called Peter Lamont. He is 51 years old and is a professional film set designer.  Although I have done set design and direction for many movies before.  But there has never been a work that made him shine.  And last year, goddess luck suddenly came.  MGM executive director Barry Diller suddenly approached Lamont and said he wanted Lamont to create a set for the most luxurious props in history.

    Lamont was very confused at the time.  Because he was not well-known in the industry, how could Barry Diller find him.  So I raised my question on the spot.  As a result, he learned from Barry Diller that it was Mike, known as the Hollywood wizard, who asked Barry Diller to find him.  After learning about his recommender, Lamont was even more confused, but he was confused, but he accepted Barry Diller's invitation.

    Later, under the arrangement of Barry Diller, Lamont met with the young best director in the history of Hollywood.  But what Lamont didn't expect was that this meeting would become a turning point in his life.

    Although he has been on this ship for more than a year, Lamont was still very excited when explaining.  Especially in front of the Hollywood wizard director Mike who admires him.

    "The style of the restaurant, rooms and stairs here have been restored to the style of the early 20th century according to your wishes. You mentioned restoring the interior decoration of the Titanic. We have also tried it. Here are some of the samples we restored.  Because the filming of the Pianist at Sea you mentioned earlier was scheduled in front of the Titanic, so in order to save costs, we only performed partial restoration." When Lamont said this, he stopped consciously and stared away with expectation.  Wang Wei remained silent on his left side.  Like an old child waiting for this praise.

    "Lamont, I saw you right. You are a very good set designer. Believe me, after The Pianist and Titanic are released, you will be famous in Hollywood, no, you will be famous in the world. Become the world's most famous  One of the top set designers." Wang Wei looked at the layout inside the ship and felt satisfied.  According to Wang Wei's idea, it would be good to recover 50%.  But Lamont achieved more than 70 percent recovery.  This reduction rate is already very high.  It seems that I made the right choice when I decided to choose the original set designer of Titanic in history.

    "I have no doubt about your words." Regarding Wang Wei's praise, Lamont was not modest. Talented people always believe in their own works. The same is true for Lamont. The reason why he was not famous before was just because of Lamont  There is no gold that can make him shine.

    "Look, look, our designer is so confident! But I still have to say a few words for Lamont. Mike, do you know that since Lamont received your invitation, he has been staying in this broken ship?  On the ship, except for going home twice a year, I spend all my time eating, drinking and sleeping on this ship," Barry Diller said with a smile.

    "No, dear Mr. Diller, as a set designer, props are like our children. We will do anything for him, so being able to live with my children is the greatest happiness for us prop artists, not to mention  "My child is so good." Lamont had his own opinion on Barry Diller's words.

    Spreading his hands, Barry Diller was noncommittal about Lamont¡¯s statement.

    After Lamont finished explaining, he went to deal with the unfinished scenery.

    Wang Wei and Barry Diller went to the deck.

    existAfter getting on the deck, Barry Diller finally couldn't help but ask the question he had been wanting to ask for the past few days.

    "boss"

    "What's wrong?"

    "Are you really okay?"

    Three days have passed since the night of the Oscars. What no one expected was that "The Terminator", which was originally highly anticipated, turned out to be an upset and did not win any heavyweight awards. This result shocked all the guests present.  , even Benton, the award presenter and the director of "The Kramers" which won the most awards this year, found this result a bit surprising.

    What's even more hateful is that on the day after the awards were awarded, some American media published the headline "Genius has fallen from the altar." In the article, they satirized Wang Weijiang for not having enough talent and not understanding art, so he could only use some sensational things.  Make money at the box office.  Make this matter a big deal.  Wang Wei's fans immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with the media's practice of spreading salt on people's scars to expand their own interests. Wang Wei's friends and family also responded one after another, especially Madonna.  He announced that he would no longer accept interviews from media outlets that add salt to Wang Wei's scars.

    Faced with the failure of the nomination and the ridicule from the media, Barry Diller thought that Wang Wei would be in a very bad mood.  But what surprised Barry Diller was that Wang Wei was very happy every day these days, just like the Hollywood genius who failed to be nominated and was ridiculed by the media was not him.  Wang Wei's abnormal performance made Barry Diller a little worried, so Barry Diller asked this question.

    Looking at Barry Diller¡¯s doubtful look

    Wang Wei smiled slightly and said: "What can happen to me? I'm just upset. What's there to care about? Besides, the grand prize is not taken away by others, it's all our own, so why should we care!"

    "Can??"

    "You mean I have a high chance of winning, right?"

    "kindness"

    ¡°If you think this way, you are wrong. No matter how big your chances of winning are, there is still a chance of not winning. Besides, it¡¯s not my chance of an Oscar upset. There¡¯s nothing to worry about.¡±

    Faced with Wang Wei's answer, Barry Diller thought for a moment and said, "But even if you are not too sad, you shouldn't????." At this point, Barry Diller had some conclusions.

    Seeing the always articulate Barry Diller stuttering, Wang Wei smiled and said, "You mean I shouldn't be so happy, right?"

    Hearing Wang Wei express his thoughts, Barry Diller smiled sheepishly and agreed.

    "I'm happy because after these two movies, I will create a new era of movies! An era that belongs to me." Looking at Barry Diller's eyes, Wang Wei said softly.
