629 - Best Rookie Combination

Throughout January 1998, the media was hyping two aspects. One of them must be the incredible box office trend of "Titanic". The other is that two world-class Hollywood directors will soon enter the highest music hall in North America, the award-winning stage of Gelaimei.

In fact, let alone professional musicians, even the North American public can hear that Wayne Greenberg and George Lucas are at most performing well among amateurs, and there is a huge gap between them and professional singers and singers.

But so what? This song still successfully moved countless families in North America and in the hot summer. Because of this song and that short documentary, it entered the theater countless times.

The singing of Wayne and George Lucas was constantly mentioned during this period, and at the same time, it perfectly set off the profession of another singer, that is, Celine Dion.

After two weeks of full release of "Titanic", the film went against the market rules, as if it had just begun, and had no intention of stopping.

According to the latest announcement released by 20th Century Fox, this film has been expanded from the 3,000 theaters that have opened the paintings to nearly 3,400 by theater companies. You should know that in this era, this scale is already the top-notch.

Not only the screening scale, as long as the theaters that are screening "Titanic", the theater managers have almost increased the screening rate for this film. The screening rate of the theaters in the center of mainstream commercial districts has exceeded 70% of the terrifying screenings. Almost every ten minutes, a big ship will start to be screened.

When the film came to its third week of release, people suddenly realized that "Titanic" had formed a social topic. The emergence of the movie-watching frenzy also pushed the film to the throne of the weekly box office champion for the third time.

Whether it is the "Spirit Catcher" that performs strongly and stably or the little dark horse "Starry Team", they are completely crushed by this big ship and cannot see the shadow. The only choice for people to enter the theater is to watch "Titanic" again and again.

When this film successfully won the fourth week's box office championship, the box office potential was completely released. In fact, all the practitioners in the Hollywood Circle were staring at this unprecedented box office miracle. Even Wayne, who was hiding in Warner's late-production studio, heard the discussions in his ears were all about the box office of "Titanic".

The box office trend that is so stable that it is actually a bit of luck. In the early 1998, whether it is Thanksgiving or Christmas, no competitive films appear except "The Mind Catcher", which is also the reason why "Titanic" has become a movie-watching craze.

So after three weeks, the North American box office of this big ship had reached US$260 million without any surprise, but this was only the beginning and was far from reaching the end, because the box office trend of "Titanic" was stable and completely unscientific.

With this big ship sailing overseas, the growth trend of overseas box office is even more incredible than North America. In just two weeks, the overseas box office of "Titanic" closed at US$270 million. Many people in the circle understand that the film already has the prospect of recovering investment in the box office and even generating profits.

What is undoubtedly the popularity of the ending song "My Heart Eternal" is the result of the film. Celine Dion herself probably did not expect that after struggling in the music industry for many years, she would become one of the top queens in North America with the ending song of a movie.

It is precisely the popularity of Celine Dion and "My Heart Eternal" that further reflects Wayne and George Lucas' amateurs. There is no way. These two songs are the most mentioned by the media and the audience this awards season, and it is normal to be compared together.

A singer who is comparable to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, compared with the two Hollywood directors who played the game, there is a lot of fun here. Relatively speaking, whether it is the hype of the media or the public's relish, they are all kind-hearted, and no one is stupid enough to really evaluate this song "something just like this" with singing skills.

"Shit, "Titanic" won the box office championship for five consecutive weeks!"

On January 25, 1998, in the living room of Greenberg Manor, today a special guest was welcomed. The father of Star Wars George Lucas, holding a bottle of beer in his hand, leaning against the sofa, glanced at the scene on the TV from time to time, but the murmur in his mouth did not stop.

"Twentieth Century Fox is going to make a lot of money this time. It's fine if the movie won five consecutive weekly championships. The original soundtrack released at the same time also completed five consecutive sales championships on the Billboard with the song "My Heart is Eternal". Damn, for this period of time, I can hear people teasing me every day, saying that my singing style is like a duck with a hoarse voice!"

"Hey, George."

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Wayne raised the bottle with deep feelings and touched the father of Star Wars. "Believe me, my experience in this is exactly the same as yours."

The conversation and expressions of the two big directors who looked like naughty boys at this time caused laughter from several people in the living room. At first, it was just because of Ge Laimei's nomination list. Later, with the popularity of "My Heart Eternal", there were good news media, which put the two recently popular songs together to comment on them.

There is no way, the gap between the voices of these two groups is too big. It is because of the big gap that this topic has been hyped up. At the latter point, even the staff and relatives and friends around them are teasing about this topic every day.

George Lucas saw everyone laughing continuously and waved the bottle angrily. "Damn it, we two will walk onto the Gladmei stage and get that shit-like phonograph!"

"Yes, George." Wayne also enjoyed the rare moment of relaxation. He then slapped the father of Star Wars beside him and looked at everyone and said, "You are just jealous of our talents. We will get that damn phonograph."

The two great directors, full of sandy atmosphere, made everyone laugh. They could only hold Xiao Fendi, who had been sitting on the carpet with the little bully dog, blinked her big eyes and looked at her father curiously, making a giggle.

"Don't swear in front of Fendi!" Naomi Watts covered his mouth, forced his smile, and glared at the two men hard.

"This is the first time I have seen the boss in this state." On the other side of the sofa, Sofia Coppola, who was sitting with Nina, looked at the two big directors with surprise, as if he had suddenly discovered a new world. "I thought he would only show off an ice-filled face."

The assistant lady shrugged, closed the fashion magazine in her hand, habitually pushed the glasses on her face, and glanced at the TV. She found that the Denver Mustang was still anxious with the Green Bay Packers, and it would take a while before the midfield advertising show. Obviously, this very conservative game made most people in the living room feel sleepy.

"Sofia, I've been the boss's assistant since 1990."

Nina's eyes flashed with memories, and she whispered to chat with the girl around her. "Over the years, I have discovered a rule that the higher the director, the more innocent I will look at some special times. Well, just like the current "father of DC" and the father of Star Wars, is your father the same?"

Sofia Coppola rolled her eyes. Is this called innocence? He shook his head and beat her to death. He would not admit that his father had such a stupid moment.

"Well, as far as I know, boss, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg will become like this at some point." Nina's face shone with a playful light and she whispered: "In my impression, there have been even more incredible things..."

Obviously, women like to chat about gossip the most. The assistant lady's words not only successfully attracted Sophia Coppola, but also asked Naomi Watts to come over. Even the butler Hela, who was standing beside her, quietly moved towards their positions.

"I remember it was at the end of 1992 or early 1993, and this was probably the time." Seeing the three ladies around, their eyes flashed with gossip, Nina's face remained unchanged, and she continued to whisper. "It seemed like it was a cocktail party of any kind. Forget it, it didn't matter.

The boss was incomparable to George Lucas and Steven Spielberg at that time, but the three of them already knew each other at that time, and the latter two were very optimistic about the boss. That time, the three of them drank too much at the cocktail party, and then..."

"Ms. Nina Klein, if you can continue talking, the bonus will be gone!"

The ladies' Didi Gu attracted Wayne's attention. Although he and George Lucas were drinking and watching the game while waiting for the start of the midfield advertising show, the assistant lady only said the beginning and he understood what was going on.

"It's okay, go ahead, Nina."

Naomi Watts waved his white fist threateningly at Wayne, and turned his head to look at the assistant lady with anticipation.

Nina shrugged, ignored the threat from her boss and continued in a low voice: "At that time, Steven Spielberg was filming the first part of Jurassic Park. Because she had to work hard to catch up on the progress and squeeze out time to film Schindler's List, George Lucas was always helping.

After drinking too much, the three of them ran to the special effects production room of "Jurassic Park". At that time, the dinosaur models were placed indoors. The boss wanted to see clearly how the mechanical dinosaurs ran, so he put his head into the dinosaur model's mouth.

In order to make a joke, Mr. Spielberg quietly closed the dinosaur's mouth, and the boss's head was stuck in the dinosaur model's mouth on the spot. Unexpectedly, the mechanical dinosaur really broke down and could not open his mouth. So the three big directors forced the dinosaur's mouth to pry open!"

Several women were enjoying it, listening to the incredible gossip of the Hollywood director, with a look on their faces, "Is this a big figure in the circle?"

Nina spread her hands, her lips twitched a few times, and continued, "You know, I followed the boss no matter what time, so this is what I saw with my own eyes. Afterwards, these three drunk directors quickly fled the scene like children, for fear that the staff would find that the mechanical dinosaur model was broken by them..."

"Shit, the first half is over, ladies, the midfield advertising show begins soon..."

"Wayne! Don't swear in front of Fendi!"
