"Cameron jumps into sea after feud with 'Titanic' producers."
"The 'Titanic' project got out of control, Eric Williams went to Rosarito himself, Cameron was under pressure and tried to jump into the sea to kill himself."
"Eric Williams and James Cameron Rosarito set physical conflict, pushing each other into the sea, the 'Titanic' project may be completely stranded."
"..."
Because there was no video data leaked from the scene, many people spread false rumors. In the next few days, the incident of Cameron jumping into the sea in the American media became more and more outrageous. The clarification by the Firefly Group’s public relations department did not suppress the rapid spread of rumors. , More and more media reporters began to gather in Rosarito, Mexico.
In desperation, Eric simply asked abc TV station to send reporters to the set, and specially recorded some behind-the-scenes footage of the crew shooting as usual. Although the spread of rumors was not completely suppressed, those extremely absurd remarks did not stop after the relevant videos were played. Self-defeating.
The day after Eric rushed to Rosarito, the CEO of Digital Domain, Stan Winston, also rushed over and began to discuss the post-production of the film.
Because "Titanic" will use a large number of very novel special effects production methods, according to the development ideas established by Eric when he established the digital field, these brand new special effects technologies will be specially organized, and patents will be applied for if possible. Although many special effects techniques were produced under Cameron's whimsy, but after receiving Eric's sufficient budget support, Cameron, who was completely immersed in the movie, didn't care about these at all.
It was another morning of shooting, and Eric had already been on the set in Rosarito for five days, without the depressing atmosphere of a tight budget. The aura that was on the verge of explosion at any time disappeared completely, and the interpersonal relationship from top to bottom of the crew became much more harmonious.
At lunch time, Eric was dining in the restaurant with Cameron and others, and Jon Landau hurried in.
After eating, he came to sit down at Eric's table, and Jon Landau said to Eric, "Eric, are you going back this afternoon?"
"Yeah, things here are almost over, and I can't help much by staying here."
Jon Landau nodded, hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "I think you'd better be careful when you go back."
"Huh?" Eric looked up suspiciously.
Jon Landau said: "I heard that there have been several robberies against those reporters outside recently, and even two unlucky guys had their ribs broken. You know, their professional shooting equipment It’s all very expensive. Also, I just talked to Victor, who is in charge of security on the set, and he said that there have been a lot of unidentified people around the set recently. So, you know.”
Eric nodded earnestly. He was very clear about the law and order situation in Mexico. This country only has a regular army of more than 100,000, but the number of illegal armed forces headed by drug dealers is no less than that of the regular army. It's a little better now, but in the next few years, with the further deterioration of security, Mexico will even be classified by the United Nations as a country at the same level as Somalia, Yugoslavia and other countries in a "state of war". Coupled with the fact that Rosarito is close to the Mexican-US border, the security situation nearby is even worse. Under the advice of the security team, Eric did not step out of the set in the past few days when he came to Mexico.
Cameron heard what Jon Landau said, and said with the same expression: "Eric, it's really not possible, you can go back by helicopter, well, although it is more troublesome, it must be safer."
Mexico is no different than the United States. Helicopters are basically in the hands of government departments. It is difficult for ordinary people to obtain flight permits. After hearing this, Eric shook his head with a smile and said: "There is no need to mobilize so many people. From here The distance to the border is only 30 kilometers, and it takes half an hour to drive faster, and the helicopter may not be as safe as my convoy.”
Eric is not arrogant. The twenty-three bodyguards who came with him this time are basically ex-Marines with rich combat experience. Although the five SUVs he took when he came here were not up to the standard It has complete facilities up to the level of the presidential car, but it is not inferior to the other party in terms of security protection. As long as it does not encounter insane heavy fire attacks, even if it is temporarily trapped, it can rely on the protection of the car to stand firm and wait for help.
After eating lunch and chatting for a while, Eric said goodbye to everyone, and left the Rosarito studio with his female assistant.
It was still on the highway along the coast of Baja California. After the vehicle situation stabilized, Eric looked down at the latest version of the "007 Casino Royale" script from Los Angeles. Kelly, who was sitting next to him, inadvertently caught a glimpse of There were a few little tails behind the convoy, remembering the reminder from Jon Landau in the restaurant at noon, patted Eric uneasily, and pointed to the rear.
Before Eric could answer, Carter Moen, who was sitting in the front co-pilot, said, "Ms. Haynes, it's all right. That's the reporter's car. They may have to go back with us."
"Oh, that's it," Kelly smiled, a little embarrassed by her own paranoia.
The convoy passed through the small town of Rosarito not long after driving, and continued to move forward. Eric read a few pages of the script, raised his head and stretched his neck, chatted with Kelly, and was about to lower his head to continue reading the script. Carter Moen suddenly pressed his earphones, exchanged a few words in a low voice hastily, then turned his head and said, "Eric, there may be some problems ahead."
Eric looked up suspiciously: "Huh?"
Kelly grabbed Eric's sleeve sensitively, with a nervous look on her face.
"A container truck stopped about a kilometer ahead, blocking the way," Carter Moon explained, adding: "Very old-fashioned method."
Eric looked out of the car window. Although this is a four-lane expressway, there is a barrier made of concrete and stone piers in the middle of the road. A container truck can almost block half of the lanes.
Eric knew that he didn't have any time to panic, so he didn't hesitate, and said calmly and decisively: "I don't understand these, you can deal with them."
Carter Moen nodded, instructed the two to wear their seat belts, and quickly deployed them into the earphones, while taking out a pistol from the storage box and handing it to the driver next to him, and then took out a semi-automatic rifle to fiddle with.
Eric took a deep breath, noticed Kelly's nervous expression beside him, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Even if there is any trouble, the border will be fine within ten minutes." Someone will come over."
"Well," Kelly's face calmed down, holding Eric's hand, but the other hand reached into her bag, touched the phone, and after thinking about it, she realized that this phone cannot make calls in Mexico , had to give up.
During the simple conversation, the speed of the entire convoy suddenly increased. A few seconds later, Carter Moen turned his head and told Eric: "Everyone sit down."
Immediately, at the front of the convoy, there was a loud bang.
