Amid the huge sound of rotors, Ronan looked at the blue sea below through the helicopter side window. Although the scenery was extremely beautiful, it was not a good experience. Even if the flying noise was worn with soundproof headsets, it could not be completely isolated.

Finally, a scientific research ship with black background and white sides appeared in the field of view, with two signs in English and Russian on one side of the hull.

A few minutes later, the helicopter landed steadily on the apron on the rear deck of the scientific research ship.

As soon as Ronan got off the plane, a white woman with wide shoulders and big waists came up and said, "Hello, Mr. Anderson, I am Ellie Smith, the assistant director of Cameron."

Fast away from the helicopter, Ronan shook hands with Ellie Smith: "Hello."

This female assistant is in line with James Cameron's usual aesthetic, and is stronger than Linda Hamilton and is only slightly inferior to Catherine Bigelow.

Ellie Smith specifically explained: "The weather is very good today. Director Cameron doesn't want to miss such a good condition. He went into the water to shoot himself. He asked me to convey his apology."

Ronan had a rough understanding of James Cameron's working style and said, "It's okay." He tentatively said, "Can you take me to the front deck?"

The deep-sea submersibles used by James Cameron were all launched from the front deck, and a large number of staff were gathered there.

Ellie Smith did not refuse: "Please go here."

Ronan and his party had only three people, and assistant Connie and bodyguard Finch followed behind.

When he arrived at the front deck, Ronan found a corner, but did not disturb others' normal work, but just stood aside and watched quietly.

In fact, I couldn't see anything. After looking at several crew members of the combat nation, Ronan's eyes fell on the backup submersibles and huge cameras that were being maintained.

The oval deep-sea submersible is somewhat similar to the one used in "Titanic", full of science fiction. With the writing of James Cameron and his goal of crazily exploring the underwater world, this may be one of the most advanced deep-sea submersibles in the world today.

Next to the submersible is a fully black camera. It is larger and more bulky than an ordinary movie camera.

Ronan has seen it in the information. This is a new generation of imax camera developed by imax company in conjunction with James Cameron and Sony Electronics.

Looking at these, Ronan has to admire James Cameron, a real technical director.

James Cameron brought not only two record-breaking movies, "Titanic" and "Avatar", but also technological innovations.

Since the beginning of 2000, James Cameron first joined Sony Electronics to improve its existing 3D shooting technology, and then IMAX has joined in.

These three strong alliances have promoted a revolution in film technology. James Cameron has basically been improving and experimenting with new technologies in the past four years.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the technological improvement and experimentation over the past few years, there would be no later "Avatar".

If it were someone else, it would be difficult to create "Avatar" because technical problems are a difficult problem.

Having said that, in Hollywood, which is increasingly impetuous, how many directors are willing to make technical preparations for four or five years to shoot a film?

Ronan watched a group of people circling around the imax camera like a man serving the old man, thinking about the next conversation with James Cameron.

James Cameron has not disclosed any news about Avatar in front of outsiders, so of course he cannot mention this project directly.

Some things must be done to find the right opportunity. If you jump out and point directly to the movie project that James Cameron is hiding in his heart, the King of the World might run wild on the spot and treat him as a voyeur or something.

Underwater shooting, especially deep-sea shooting, cannot be kept for too long. Before waiting, two deep-sea submersibles floated onto the Shanghai surface and were lifted and dragged onto the scientific research ship. The hatch of one of them opened, and James Cameron, with a big beard, walked out.

He first explained to the people next to him, then patrolled for a few times, and after seeing Luo Nan and his group, he hurried over.

"Welcome to visit, Mr. Anderson." James Cameron stretched out his hand.

Ronan shook hands with him and said, "Jim, we are old friends, just call me Ronan."

James Cameron did not object. Although he had only seen him a few times before, he had a good impression of Ronan.

The filming of going into the sea this time today was over. James Cameron would have to rest for a few hours and would not go into the water again in a while. So he simply invited Ronan to the second floor deck, sat on the platform where he could see all the front decks, and started chatting.

Ronan patted the deck fence next to him and said, "This scientific research ship is very advanced, Russian?"

James Cameron said: "The products left over from the former Soviet Union have not been used several times. The ones I leased from Russia are so cheap that they are unimaginable."

Ronan couldn't help but smile and said, "Just buy it, just buy it. If you modify it a little, you can be used as a yacht. I guess the Russians don't care."

For a time, there seemed to be no ban on the Russian trade list except for nuclear weapons.

James Cameron shook his head: "I don't have that much money."

Ronan said deliberately: "Jim, will you lose money? Eighty million dollars."

The film "Titanic" has a share of its salary and income, and James Cameron has received nearly 80 million US dollars.

"I also have a lot of expenses." James Cameron pointed: "Sony Electronics and Imax will pay for the expenses for equipment and technology improvements, but I also have to keep an investment. The documentary budget belongs to my personal investment and the expenses are very large."

Although James Cameron didn't say it, Ronan could also guess something. If James Cameron wants to get a part of the patent, cooperation will be necessary and investment will be necessary.

This investment is not visible now. In the 3D era, James Cameron will receive generous returns.

Ronan glanced at James Cameron and said, "The cost of documentary investing is difficult to recycle."

James Cameron spread his hands and said, "The first "Deep Sea Ghost", 20th Century Fox is still willing to release this "Deep Sea Alien", Fox has clearly rejected me. Jon Landau is discussing release with Disney, and the stalemate is currently in a stalemate."

Ronan has been paying attention to the dynamics of James Cameron, and naturally knows these situations. When he mentioned this topic just now, he had his own purpose, so he simply said: "It's better to do this, Jim, hand over "Deep Sea Alien" to the Embassy Film Company for distribution."

Why did James Cameron answer Ronan's words? He immediately said: "Yes."

Ronan asked deliberately: "Twentieth Century Fox won't have any objection, right?"

James Cameron has worked with Twentieth Century Fox several times in a row.

"No." James Cameron shook his head slowly: "They don't pay attention to documentaries at all."

He suddenly asked without warning: "Ronan, why do you like my documentary?"

All those who can get to this position are human spirits. Ronan said calmly: "Because this is a documentary using imax and 3D new technology, I want to see if the new technology will bring about revolutionary changes."

James Cameron asked: "Do you think there is room for development of 3D technology?"

Ronan said directly: "I have watched "Polar Express" filmed by Warner Bros., and the effect is amazing. I think this is one of the future development trends of the film industry."

James Cameron smiled, his smile full of confidence.

Ronan said at the right time: "How is this film of "Deep Sea Alien"? Is there any completed clip that can feast my eyes in advance?"

"Some of the samples were completed." James Cameron stood up and made a gesture of invitation: "Let's go to the studio."

When we arrived at the second floor cabin, there was a huge scientific research screening room here. It was originally used to show the scientific research videos taken, but after temporary transformation by James Cameron's team, 3D videos can be screened.

Putting on glasses, Ronan carefully watched the video for only five minutes. Perhaps it was a documentary. This video was far inferior to the former "Avatar", but it was much better than "Polar Express" released by Warner Bros. last year.

The beautiful underwater world and the dreamy marine creatures are a feast for people.

With the help of imax3d technology, those species that ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to witness are vivid in their eyes, so close that they can be touched with their hands.

The video of only five minutes was played soon. Ronan took off his glasses and said, "This is the most shocking 3D video in Hollywood. It's not easy to shoot it on the seabed, right?"

James Cameron nodded: "This documentary is an adventure on two levels, one is physical, and sinks to the bottom of the sea to a rarely visited edge of life; the other adventure is to discover and reveal new species."

Ronan suddenly said: "It is unimaginable that Twentieth Century Fox actually rejected such a masterpiece."

"They always do this." James Cameron was somewhat dissatisfied with the practice of 20th Century Fox working together when he could make a profit, and playing on the side if he couldn't see profit. "This was what he was like when he was filming "Titanic."

These are news that has been spread throughout the circle, and James Cameron doesn't mind saying it: "My director position was almost removed by them."

Ronan said with a deliberate smile: "Because Twentieth Century Fox is worried that you will chase you to increase your budget, so they will sell their ass."

James Cameron couldn't help laughing. When filming "Titanic", all kinds of unbearable and dragging measures of 20th Century Fox came to his mind again.

At that time, I was dancing on the wire and accidentally fell off the cliff.
Chapter completed!
