624 - Take money to the extreme
Reasonable love is always the best way to move the audience. The same is true for this "Titanic". The 230-minute super-long preparation finally rendered a sad love at the end of the film.
The pair of poor boys and rich girls, both on the big screen and in literary works, has always been an enduring theme. James Cameron used a big ship that has been around for decades to bring the same love story to the audience again.
The clichéd tragic ending, which has been proved in decades by Hollywood, is still the best and most touching power. Even if the sobs in the theater are getting louder and louder, the audience can't stop Jack from sinking in the cold sea.
Ruth on the big screen finally fulfilled her promise to Jack. She survived well and lived her happy life in full accordance with Jack's requirements.
Amid the audience's sorrowful cry, Celine Dion's singing slowly rang out, and a classic song "My Heart Eternal" appeared with the subtitles after the end of the movie. This song will undoubtedly resound throughout the world with "Titanic".
"Crazy..."
"boom!"
The moment the light tube in the theater was on, more than a thousand viewers in the audience stood up almost tacitly, giving applause to the movie, the creative team, and the touching love on the big screen. Everyone was slapping their hands with their strength, and women shouting "Jack" in the theater were endless.
“Great movie, great love.”
This is the praise from countless guests and audiences. Even though the main creators of the crew frequently bowed and clapped their hands to leave, the audience's enthusiasm was still extremely high.
"Where is Ruth?"
"Yes, why is Ruth not here?"
Almost all the famous and surnamed creators of the crew are there, and the only one who is important is missing under the big screen. Many viewers only find that Ruth on the big screen is not here after calming down.
"The media said that the ship is full of misfortunes and is not making up for it."
The audience began to leave after five minutes of applause. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp met with Wayne and others, preparing to send blessings to the crew together, and then attend the social cocktail party held by 20th Century Fox.
When the Gothic director shrugged, turned around and swept around, and confirmed that there was no one else nearby, he continued to whisper: "The British girl who played Ruth, I heard that it was just today when the movie was premiered, and her boyfriend suddenly died of cancer, so he never showed up."
Naomi Watts covered her mouth with surprise. The movie that just ended made her feel not completely closed. "That's a pity, God."
Several men shook their heads slightly. No one took this gossip seriously. This circle is never as beautiful as in the movie. As long as the dead person has nothing to do with him, no one will take it too seriously.
Especially Wayne, what he thought of at the first time, felt that it was a pity. Some words could not be said clearly, but after being with Bruce Rosenblum, the film marketing master, he naturally put on similar film marketing thinking.
Unfortunately, it was because only Kate Winslet's boyfriend who died. If it were her, then the revenue of this big ship would probably be...
In fact, it is not his fault for thinking this way. That guy James Cameron is just an absolute tyrant on the set. He was also frequently reported by many media outlets, and Kate Winslett also admitted in person that once she was almost drowned in the sea.
After shaking his head hard, Wayne felt a little crazy. At least when "Batman: The Dark Knight" was released, he did not deliberately think about causing a surprise to Nicholas Cage. In this way, he is really a conscientious capitalist.
The movie premiere has come to an end. The cocktail party held by 20th Century Fox and Paramount has become a carnival for media reporters. The Hilton Hotel, not far from the theater, frequently appeared in various big and big names, and the organizers even set up a short red carpet at the entrance of the hotel.
The few people simply got rid of the harassment of the reporters. After coming to the hotel banquet hall, they nodded and dispersed, and began to greet people who were familiar with each other.
Social interaction will always be the main theme of this type of cocktail party, which is fully interpreted by men in suits and ties in the hall, as well as ladies in formal evening gowns.
No matter what kind of morality you have in private, at least in formal occasions, they all look like polite elites. Of course, we must ignore the men and women who saw it right in the middle, and they can't wait to get together before they even entered the elevator.
"How do you feel about the movie?"
The group had just found a corner to sit down. Townsend Rossman, the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, walked over with a relatively strange middle-aged lady, with a smile on her face.
"Hi, Townsend."
Wayne stood up, first shook hands with Townsend Rossman, and greeted him enthusiastically. Then he stood there, waiting for the other party to introduce him.
"Wayne, this is Ms. Shirley Lansing, CEO of Paramount Pictures."
After Townsend Rossman said hello, he immediately took a small step to the side and introduced the middle-aged woman wearing a professional dress with a smile. "Sherry, Director Wayne Greenberg."
"Good evening, Mr. Greenberg."
"I'm glad to meet you, Ms. Lansing."
After a few decent greetings, the few people sat down again. During the process, both of them looked at each other with unconcealed observation.
"How is it? Tell me how you feel. How do you think "Titanic" will perform in the theater market?"
Waving to the secretary behind him, Townsend Rossman took a cigar moisturizing box, cut out a cigar and threw it to Wayne, while tilting his head, "Hey, you should understand what I mean, with your professional market perspective, how do you feel about the movie."
From the initial preparation to the completion of filming of "Titanic", it took more than three and a half years. During this period, due to the various delays from James Cameron, he kept chasing the 20th Century Fox's butt for money, which once made several executives of 20th Century Fox want to terminate the sealing of this project.
If it weren't for the discovery of Paramount, it would be hard to say what the ending of the "Titanic" project would be. The hundreds of millions of dollars invested in this project one after another were all the working capital of 20th Century Fox, and Townsend Rossman's pressure was actually very high.
Even now, Twentieth Century Fox is gritting his teeth and asking about all kinds of investments in film promotion and distribution, so he comes up to ask about these things. As we all know in the circle, the young man opposite is able to get a clue in the business field.
"James is a genius!"
Even Shirley Lansing, who was standing beside him, was stunned for a moment. No one expected that Wayne's evaluation would be so high. Before it was even over, the other party said after spitting out a large mouthful of cigar smoke, which made the 20th Century Fox Ceo and Paramount Ceo unconsciously open their mouths together.
"In my opinion, this "Titanic" will not lose to me in the theater market "Batman: The Dark Knight"!" Seeing the surprised two people, Wayne's fingers hit the table rhythmically, with a smile on his face, and continued:
"Based on my personal sense of commercial movies, I predict that the final box office of "Titanic" will be just a base, which means that it is destined to be a great movie with a box office of more than one billion US dollars."
"You're not kidding?"
The spray gun in his hand shivered slightly, Townsend Rossman stared at the opposite side seriously, and at the same time put away the smile on his face, whispering hoarsely: "Wayne, "Titanic" puts me very much pressure. Are you really not kidding about this?"
"Let's wait and see, Townsend."
The two men kept chatting around "Titanic" and "X-Men", which had already entered the post-production. Wayne's extreme optimism about the film made Townsend Rossman feel much better. No one knew whether he really believed Wayne's words or just wanted psychological comfort.
During this period, Shirley Lansing remained silent like a bystander, but his eyes never left Wayne, and he was still observing his every move, not knowing what he was thinking.
"you do not know."
He raised his hand and pointed to the center of the banquet hall. Townsend Rossman's voice was filled with helplessness. "The first project plan submitted by James, marked on it, was 80 million US dollars.
However, everyone in the circle knows that this guy has become accustomed to resigning. Twentieth Century Fox not only prepared 80 million US dollars, but also prepared an additional 20 million US dollars."
Speaking of this, he shook his head and spit out a long smog. "But after the 100 million US dollars of the dog** was thrown in, the video was still being prepared. He was still chasing Fox's butt and constantly asking for money. Working with James was like an adventure, and no one knows what the final result of this big ship is now."
After several films, although James Cameron won a huge reputation in Hollywood, some of his habits were also known to everyone. The fact that the God of Card spent money without blinking had spread throughout Hollywood as early as the project "The True Lies".
Twentieth Century Fox is already very cautious. The executives and shareholders have prepared all the overpaid money this time. However, the development of things has far exceeded the imagination of Fox executives.
The project was just announced, and James Cameron claimed that he did not have a suitable shooting location and wanted to build a large studio. The subsequent events were fantastic. The God of Cameron directly chose a beach in Mexico and bought it with great expenses.
Then, using a huge amount of explosives on the beach, it exploded a huge deep pit, which was only used to shoot the cameras of a shipwreck. There are countless similar things, such as ordering all the accessories, luxury goods from the original Titanic factory, and creating half of the real Titanic ship was simply doing the ultimate money.
