Chapter 515 Set Sail!

The extra Bert squeezed through the crowd with a little girl in his arms.

Burt is an actor from Sweden and the little girl is really his daughter.

He came to Huaxia this time basically with the mentality of taking his family to travel for free.

Burt and his daughter played the role of passengers on the big ship, but they had to watch the scene before it was time for them to board the ship.

Although you still need to work on the set, this set is obviously more attractive to children than the playground!
"The boat is so big!"

The girl looked up excitedly at the biggest thing she had ever seen, then she turned to her father and said, "Daddy, is that the Titanic?"

"Yes."

Bert also nodded in amazement and replied.

Burt was really surprised when he saw this giant ship for the first time!

He never thought that someone would make such exaggerated props for filming!

It felt like building a Star Destroyer for a futuristic space war movie! ! !
This expression of the old and the young is definitely not a performance. Burt believes that even the appearance of this retro giant ship is enough to be recorded in the history of Blue Star's movies!
And he and his daughter, this summer, will witness an unprecedented legend in the history of film and television!
A horn sound caught the little girl's attention. She turned around and saw a white luxury car driving behind her.

The crowd cleared a passage to let the cars drive into the pier!
The shot from the top clearly records the opening process of the car door.

A slender hand wearing an off-white lambskin glove protruded from the car.

The purple lining can be seen on the edge of the glove at the raised wrist.

The driver of the car reached out and held the other's hand politely.

Then a purple wide-brimmed silk hat with a long silk scarf, which was fashionable for women at that time, stuck out of the car door, and then the luxurious costume decorated with purple silk decorations that was worth a lot of money at first sight!
When it comes to purple, people's impression is probably elegant, romantic, and a color exuding melancholy.

But in nineteenth-century Europe, purple was a symbol of power and wealth.

If in the world of colors in that period, colors were graded like imperial power, then purple must be an aristocratic color and a high-level color in the circle of power.

This is not purple luck, but its own expensive attributes make purple noble.

Purple is the color with the shortest light wave in nature, and it is very rare to see purple that can last in nature.

Because of its scarcity, people's yearning for it becomes stronger.

Europeans have been using snails to extract purple dyes hundreds of years ago.

A certain gland of the murex can secrete a small amount of juice, which turns yellow to purple when exposed to sunlight.

But the yield of this purple substance is too low, about 1 snails can extrude more than one gram of purple raw material.

So European nobles showed their rights and wealth by being able to wear purple clothes.

Legend has it that Michelangelo failed to complete his masterpiece "The Burial" because he couldn't afford purple paint!
This is not an exaggeration, because at that time a pound of purple silk could be sold for 15 silver dinars.

If calculated according to today's purchasing power, this price is equivalent to about 300 million US dollars!
The purple chemical dye was discovered by accident in a laboratory accident in 1856 on earth.

But for things like accidents, who can tell if they come sooner or later?

In Blue Star Europe at the beginning of the twentieth century, such accidents did not happen!
At that time, only Chinese merchants in the world could use purple cloth unscrupulously, which was also one of the largest trade commodities of Chinese merchants!

The purple cloth produced in China is dyed with a plant called comfrey. The output of any economically beneficial plant in China is not small.

The only problem is that garments dyed with this plant alone are very prone to fading.

The method of dyeing comfrey has not been popularized in Europe, because the process of stable coloring and non-fading is a complicated system engineering.

The secret recipe was in the hands of several dyeing cloth families in China at that time!

The good tradition of passing on males and not females, and passing it on from inside to outside, has extinguished the Europeans' dream of getting rich, but it has brought a steady stream of huge profits to the Chinese businessmen who are keen on making money!

When the big panorama turned to the partial shot, many people quickly gathered in the director's studio, from all over the world!

Everyone is holding their breath, waiting for the first stunning appearance of the heroine of this super movie with an estimated investment of over 20 billion! ! !
The camera, which is located obliquely above the car, falls slowly under the swing of the rocker arm.

The moment the lady wearing the purple silk hat raised her head, what people saw was a delicate face like a work of art.

A pair of big expressive eyes made her slightly reserved expression a bit charming.

The slender yet plump body is wrapped in a well-tailored skirt, arousing people's endless reverie!
This is Ruth He played by He Xiaoling, an extremely beautiful Chinese woman!

"Oh Maikar! This is the real beauty god! I'm absolutely sure!"

Someone gave a soft admiration.

Gao Shuang glanced sideways. It was a bearded white man whose name he couldn't pronounce, but he knew that he seemed to be familiar with Matthew.

This rough-looking man clasped his fists with his chin, his forearms were pressed together, and even his legs were unconsciously clamped.

Gao Shuang has no ill feeling towards sissy men, but he still can't help shivering!
After scanning around, Gao Shuang's eyes returned to the monitor.

Although the crew mixed in some weird people, no one felt that it was against the appearance of an Asian heroine in this era movie with a European background.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Blue Stars, the only person who could wear this luxurious costume embellished with purple at that time could only be an Asian face!
This is the attention to detail and a high degree of restoration of the history of Blue Star! ! !

Next, a lady from China stepped out of the car.

She is Zhao Xuedan with normal makeup. After leaving the thick silicone folds, Zhao Xuedan will continue to play Ruth's mother, Mrs. He.

Huo Ning, played by Lu Jianhui, jumped out of the car at the same time as Mrs. He.

The character design of this young man has changed quite a lot from the original film.

In the settings modified by the system, he was born in a wealthy Chinese merchant family, and he was destined to be a proud son of heaven since he was born into this world.

As a prosperous businessman in Europe, the sole heir of the Honorary Viscount Huo Chengyuan of Ingoland, it can be said that there is almost nothing he cannot get in this world.

Although he claims to be suave and suave, and there are countless celebrities in Europe who are giving him frequent glances, but he has not been able to make him fall in love.

Until Ruth Ho appeared in his vision!

Ruth Ho, played by He Xiaoling, is also from a Chinese merchant family, but two years ago, the family encountered an accident and her father passed away, so that Ruth He, who grew up in Europe, severed her connection with China. The original family business It was even more divided.

Now she can only rely on the shrewd Mrs. He and a little savings to maintain her noble dignity.

But even so, their financial situation is already in jeopardy!
Fortunately, the superior growth environment made Ruth He stand out.

Perhaps it was the intimacy of being Chinese, or the aesthetic values ​​deeply buried in his blood, that made Huoning completely addicted to Ruth the first time he saw her!

However, love may be the only thing in this world that cannot be captured with money or power.

Because of this, Horning was tortured by Ruth's willfulness and arrogance.

If it wasn't for Ruth's mother, Mrs. He, who wanted to take advantage of Horning's identity to turn the family out of trouble, and constantly appease Horning's emotions, he probably couldn't stand this kind of contempt and ridicule from time to time.

All the main actors were attracted by the big ship not far away as soon as they got out of the car.

Looking from the pier, the hull of the Titanic is like a mountain lying in front of the eyes, blocking the sea and the sky.

In people's eyes, nothing can fit except this steel giant.

"No big deal, not much bigger than the Virginia."

He Xiaoling looked at Ju Lun with an indifferent expression, and said disdainfully.

Gao Shuang couldn't help showing a smile when he saw He Xiaoling's performance. It was the first time he saw Aunt He showing such a proud look.

This completely goes against Aunt He's own personality, but he always feels that this look is very familiar...

I always feel that Aunt He has perfectly brought herself into a person she is very familiar with? ! !

"Don't underestimate it! Ruth! The Titanic is different from other passenger ships. It is nearly a hundred feet longer than the Virginia and more luxurious."

Huo Ning, played by Lu Jianhui, didn't seem to understand He Xiaoling's pretentious reserve, and hurried forward to explain graciously.

"You can use the Huaxia ruler or the metric system for the length, which is easy to understand."

He Xiaoling snorted softly, ignored him and walked forward.

Lu Jianhui whispered to Zhao Xuedan beside him: "Your daughter is really difficult to serve."

Zhao Xuedan has completely entered the role, and with a faint smile, he said lightly: "People say that this ship is well-designed and will never sink."

"Yes, unsinkable!"

Lu Jianhui said affirmatively and added another sentence, admiring: "Even God can't make it sink."

"Sir, please go over there and check your luggage through the main gate!"

A tall actor in uniform who played the role of a guard walked over from the side and said to Lu Jianhui.

Lu Jianhui casually took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the other party. This action was natural without a trace of fireworks, perfectly expressing the grandeur of the son of a wealthy Chinese merchant: "I have great confidence in you, so I entrust you to replace me Go over there and do it. Oh, yes, please take care of my squire."

The money made the guard who was arrogant and rude immediately become humble. He nodded his head like a woodpecker: "Sure, sure! Sir, I am very willing to serve you! You just..."

Horning's entourage grabbed the guard's shoulders: "By the way, there is luggage in that car."

The guard followed his entourage to the luggage cart behind, and saw piles of large and small boxes on the cart.

"There are ten boxes over there."

Horning's entourage commanded the guards: "The safe is in the VIP room. Rooms B52, 54, and 56..."

Of course the guard would not do it himself, he began to mobilize porters!
The busy scene was only briefly scanned, and then the camera turned to the three of He Xiaoling again.

I saw Lu Jianhui took out his pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at it and put it back in his pocket: "Two ladies, we're going to hurry up!"

People who saw off on the pier waved goodbye to relatives and friends who had boarded the ship, and those who had not boarded the ship were separating from the crowd and pushing towards the boarding steps!

The noisy environment is real and natural, and every extra actor performed just right, even outside the camera!
"Where's my coat?"

He Xiaoling asked while pushing through the crowd.

"I have it."

Zhao Xuedan followed behind and responded.

Then the three of them climbed up the golden hanging stairs leading directly to the upper floor.

The invisible loudspeaker arranged in the studio sounded the announcement: "Third-class passengers are queuing up for quarantine here!"

Next to the boarding position, there is a simple shed, where there is a long queue.

Most of the people who make up the team are actors with relatively simple or even inferior costumes.

The expressions of these actors at the moment are completely different from those of the gorgeously dressed people. When the huge rocker is passing by, you can clearly see their slightly anxious and numb eyes.

The quarantine system shown on the Titanic has obvious class meaning, and it is only carried out among third-class passengers, and the main objects of those quarantined are immigrants!
These immigrants are mainly farmers and their families from Ireland, carpenters, bakers, tailors, and miners from the backcountry of Sweden, Russia and Greece.

There was never any doubt as to the high class passengers that they would carry fleas or the plague, money and status were the best quarantines.

And it's different for third-class passengers!

First of all, they have no money, and lack of money is often associated with disease and sin.

What's more they'll be spending time traveling in the steerage!

If it is a ship, there will always be places that are not so comfortable, not suitable for high-level people, but belong to the place where passengers stay.

And any boss will not abandon such a place, nor will he decorate it more. This kind of steerage for carrying people is the third class.

Therefore, no matter how advanced the passenger ship is, even the Titanic, which is known as the world's industrial miracle, cannot be exempted.

Although the third-class cabins are also divided into rooms, several bunk beds in each room, like a barracks, cannot block the pollution of dirty air among strangers.

So this third-class steerage will form a hotbed of high bacteria.

Once the plague breaks out, it will be fatal on the vast sea.

Doctors from the Terminal Quarantine Bureau will carefully quarantine every third-class passenger. They use a small comb to shave the beard and hair of the passenger where fleas may be hidden, and do not miss any slight doubts.

First class is reserved for the rich and famous.

There are extremely luxurious bedrooms, dining rooms, a library full of books, and even a smoking room full of blue cigar smoke for gentlemen.

There you can hear the band playing ragtime!

The first-class cabin also has luxurious facilities such as swimming pools, courts, steam baths, and coffee shops.

Those who live in the second class are mostly those of the middle class.

There are teachers, pastors, college students and writers!
They have a separate house, a decent restaurant and lounge, which is a fairly stable and comfortable travel environment.

For the propertied classes, being on this boat is VIP!

The VIPs walked through the golden passage that He Xiaoling and the others had just set foot on, and they would not be hindered by anything.

"Ma'am, please come aboard."

Amidst the sound of welcome, the fragrant wind blows towards the face, and the ladies and ladies, surrounded by the men, lead the dogs and carry the boxes and step into the lofty cabin.

The sunlight created by Lu Jiu with four giant spotlights shines from the other side of the ship, most of which are blocked by the huge hull.

Only when boarding the ship, there is a ray of light through the mast to highlight the faces of the passengers who are heading towards the "unsinkable boat".

Therefore, the far-off and cheering crowd were all submerged in the shadows, making the momentary picture on the director's monitor like a religious mural that escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and went straight to the paradise.

The Titanic started to light up.

The power unit that has not yet finished running-in makes the huge hull emit a rhythmic, sharp creaking sound that can only be produced when steel is deformed, as if the rhythm of the metal heart pulsation!

The passengers speeded up the speed of boarding, and the people on the pier waved their arms again.

Amidst the din, the siren blared!
Thick smoke from the four huge chimneys on the ship, mixed with snow-white steam, danced in the air with distinct tracks!
This unprecedented giant ship is about to weigh anchor and begin its maiden voyage!
