May 12, 1999, at 5:30 p.m. local time in the United States.

The red carpet for the premiere of "Titanic" is about to begin.

Of course, today is just a ceremony for the premiere, and the real release in theaters will have to wait until this Friday, which is May 14th. Moreover, even if it is officially released, there are only 116 canvases in 73 cinemas that start painting.

It can only be said that the producers and distributors are extremely cautious when dealing with such a film that almost drove 20th Century Fox to the brink, and whose overall investment has set the highest in the history of the entire world film industry. , every step was carefully considered, and the most secure plan was adopted - it was as high as 300 million US dollars, and after adding the publicity expenses, it even had a huge investment of more than 400 million US dollars, making it necessary to get 1 billion Only the dollar-level box office can make a return on the box office, and this, at least at present, is almost impossible, but even so, for the co-producers of Twentieth Century Fox and Time Warner, Of course, I also hope to sell a little more at the box office.

Therefore, the propaganda in the early stage, the current grand premiere ceremony, plus the small opening of the painting to gather good reputation, and even the early burying of the navy on the Internet, after the official opening of the painting, it will swarm up and make a big noise... It can be said that for this movie, the two major producers have tried their best.

So, the premiere was very luxurious.

Whether it is the appeal of the two major producers, or James Cameron's strong personal connections, this premiere has invited as many superstars as possible to join in.

And of course, a large number of media have also received invitations, and even, right next to the channel of the red carpet show, the producers have specially arranged some "professional fans" - but, it turns out that their arrangement is a bit redundant, As soon as the news got out, so many big-name superstars were coming to the catwalk and the premiere. Many movie fans and fans were not invited. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the theater where the premiere was held was blocked. Water leaked.

After 6:00 p.m., celebrities from all walks of life came one after another, and on both sides of the red carpet, enthusiastic fans shouted and screamed one after another.

Liao Liao, Sun Meimei, and Xie Mingyuan, who had already arrived early, stood not far from the entrance of the theater, looking at the star-studded red carpet over there, Xie Mingyuan turned his head to look at Liao Liao, and said with a smile, "Wait two months later. , no matter where you go, you will be invited to walk the red carpet."

Dressed in a simple denim T-shirt, Liao Liao was looking at the stars looking at ease, and smiled when he heard the words, "Just save it, it is said that the stars in the United States spend every year only on the clothes they need to wear when they walk the red carpet. Ah, the money on bags and the like should be less than a few hundred thousand dollars, and more than a few million dollars... I'm not willing to spend so much money!"

Xie Mingyuan laughed when he heard the words.

Sun Meimei is currently receiving professional training as a broker in the United States. She told Liao Liao all these gossips.

Seeing that it was half past six, Sun Meimei said, "Let's go, it's almost time for people to come, and the reporters should enter the venue later." The three exchanged glances and walked into the theater.

This premiere ceremony has invited many people from all walks of life. It is said that there will be spree distribution in private, but the scene is not too fancy, even the original plan to arrange before the movie screening. A theme song solo, which was later cancelled - James Cameron wanted to cut out all the bells and whistles and let the movie itself move everyone who was there today.

At 7:20 p.m., the entire theater was full. There was not even a host, no leader speaking, and no programs. The movie started showing immediately.

The final public release version of this film is as long as 195 minutes, more than three hours. Li Qian needless to say that Xie Mingyuan has seen it more than once when he was doing the later soundtrack, but he relaxes and fully enjoys the film. From the point of view, it is the first time, but for Liao Liao and Sun Meimei, it is really the first time to watch it.

Beforehand, inside and out, Li Qian had an unusually high evaluation of this movie, which also made people around him, such as Liao Liao, have great expectations for this movie from the very beginning.

And as it turns out, the movie, while long, isn't dull, and it's captivating from start to finish.

Whether it is the level of special effects that is absolutely amazing at the moment, or the advancement of the story itself, even the performance of the actors, the exquisite costume design, and the exquisite pictures, this is undoubtedly an absolute classic.

There are only three Chinese people in the whole theater, and they all watched with great interest.

While watching the movie, there would be bursts of happy laughter from the audience from time to time, especially when the hero Jack taught the noble lady to spit. "Li Qian also taught me how to spit...it's exactly the same!" Sun Meimei scorned for a while, "Hey, are you two usually so disgusting?"

All of this, this relaxed and happy movie-watching atmosphere, reached a peak when the two finally hooked up, and then the situation began to take a turn for the worse.

Soon, the astonishing level of special effects that was close to the eye was once again like a heavy drum, and all the audience at the scene were shocked and lost their voices. The picture was so realistic that many audience members at the scene closed their eyes subconsciously. Couldn't bear to see it.

Seeing countless people falling into the sea like dumplings, Liao Liao couldn't help but take a deep breath, and couldn't help muttering, "No wonder he always said, when our domestic special effects level can reach this level, we will All right……"

Then, when the last moment of sadness came, the whole theater, especially the girls, cried almost without exception. Sun Meimei's Liao Liao also cried with red eyes, but Xie Mingyuan, after all, he had seen it countless times before. The silent version of the song, and after adjusting the soundtrack again and again and watching it again and again, the shock of the heart at the beginning has disappeared, and at this time, I can still maintain my composure.

When the heroine was lying on a small sampan, while Jack froze in the water and said to her, "You must live...", Xie Mingyuan clearly heard the sobbing of the two ladies beside him. I can also clearly hear behind and in front of them, many people can't help whispering in a low voice - "OH, NO!..."

The whole movie ended, the lights came on, the theme song reverberated in the theater, everyone stood up and applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Liao Liao also choked up and stood up to applaud. Then, she took out her mobile phone, her eyes were red with tears, and sent a text message, "It's so beautiful. When it's released in China, come watch it with me again!"

…………

After the premiere, the whole of North America praised James Cameron's new film almost one-sidedly.

"It's top-notch, its graphics, its dialogue, its editing, its costumes, its soundtrack... And of course, its amazing special effects, which I have to praise again and again, are top-notch. I can declare right now that it is the most unmissable movie of 1999!" - The Hollywood Observer

"James Cameron spent hundreds of millions of dollars to give us an amazing movie feast! Although I am not optimistic that this movie will eventually pay for itself, I have to admit, James Cameron did a great job! Well worth the hundreds of millions of dollars!" - Los Angeles Times

"Amazing special effects, moving love story, this movie is nearly 200 minutes long, but, trust me, it's not boring at all, it's really interesting. When the film is released, I think I will definitely go Contribute a ticket to it again!" - "Today's Movie"

"James Cameron is and will be ushering in a new era of cinema with his great work!" -California Morning Post

…………

Because the premiere is mainly aimed at the media and professional film critics, and does not sell tickets to ordinary audiences, it can only be watched by invitation. Therefore, it should be said that the so-called premiere ceremony is, to a certain extent, a formal event. front-end publicity.

Of course, whether it's from the hearts of film critics and reporters, or considering the valuable gift package received on the day of the premiere, I have to give a few compliments. In short, a lot of The perfect, almost overwhelming reputation has aroused the curiosity and goodwill of audiences throughout North America.

The director is James Cameron, with the highest investment in history, it is said to be as high as 430 million, and it is said to have amazing special effects, and now it has such an amazing and perfect reputation... For many movie audiences, this movie can already be Included in the recent movie catalogue.

However, the only thing that is not very good, or that will mislead potential moviegoers to a certain extent is that this is a love movie!

Because for a lot of boys: oh my god, over three hours, am I going to watch a love movie?

May 14, 5:30 pm.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the theater. After Jack Williams paid the money, he got out of the car with his briefcase and went across the road to search for a long time. He couldn't find his girlfriend, so he couldn't help taking out his mobile phone.

He was about to make a call, but the call over there came first.

"Hey, where are you? I've already arrived at Willy Studios. ... Oh, well, then I'll go buy a ticket first! Uh, let me see, wow, there seem to be a lot of people, but I should be early Don't talk, I'll go buy a ticket first and wait for you, baby."

Hanging up the phone, Jack walked quickly to the ticket window and started to line up.

The line moved forward quickly, seeing that there were still two or three people before Jack's turn, he heard the conductor say to the guy at the front: "Sorry, there are no more tickets for 6:30, you can choose Go to another show, or you can wait for the midnight show at eleven o'clock."

"Oh, my God!" The dude patted his forehead, "Didn't you say there's another one that starts at eight o'clock? Don't you have that one?"

"Yes, it's sold out, and now there's only midnight at half past eleven."

After a while, except for a few girls in the team, the people in the back who went all the way heard this conversation, all took out their mobile phones one after another, and then, various dialogues asking for instructions rang.

It is said that the film is three and a half hours long. If the ticket is at 11:00, it will be 2:30 in the morning after watching it. This is not a good choice. However, it is possible to have dinner first during this time. , and then come back to enjoy this midnight scene leisurely, without being too rushed and having to watch a movie on an empty stomach.

So, there are pros and cons.

After the phone conversation was over, the men occasionally glanced at each other and shrugged.

Soon it was Jack's turn, he took out a large bill and handed it over, and said, "Two Titanic, thank you."

…………

When their girlfriend Annie came over, the two of them went to a restaurant to have something to eat and enjoyed a cup of coffee leisurely, and then returned to the studio leisurely, waiting in line to check in.

When I was queuing, I could find that many people were like them, they went to eat dinner and then came back, so the expressions on everyone's faces were very leisurely, and there was no rush to rush to a movie.

There is no seat number in the ticket sales of American theaters, and those who get in early can choose their seats at will.

Therefore, Jack felt that he was in the front of the line, and was very happy, so he chatted and laughed with Annie while waiting for the entrance, but soon, the audience of the previous show walked out of the theater, and many people were terrified .

Many people's eyes are red.

Especially many girls, at this time, they are all snuggling in the arms of their boyfriends, and they are still sobbing constantly.

"Oh, my God!" Jack looked surprised.

He is a computer engineer who has been employed for two years. He likes to watch movies, listen to music, and play games on weekdays, but most of the movies he likes are sci-fi movies, hero movies, or tough guy movies. For so-called love movies, especially chick movies Movies, but they are always not very interested. This time I made an appointment with my girlfriend to watch "Titanic" together. Of course, he came for the legendary "incomparably great" special effects, and his Girlfriend Annie is here for the love story that is said to be "extremely touching".

But now it seems that the love story in this movie should be really "moving"!

But he hates the feeling of a girl crying, my God, that makes him more depressed than killing him!

Seeing the crowd pass by, the person in the front had already started to take out their tickets and was about to wait for the tickets to be cut. When he saw a boy walking towards him with red eyes, he couldn't help but say hello, "Hi, buddy, this movie... ... made you cry?"

The guy shrugged and spread his hands, "Oh, my God, brother, I...I don't know how to describe it, you better go in and see for yourself! It will make you feel that your ticket money is worth it!"

At this time, another girl passing by couldn't help but said, "This movie is so touching, I love Jack!"

At this time, another black man couldn't help but said: "The special effects are great, buddy, the story is also great, very touching, oh, my God, I especially like that song, I guess, it must be sung by Dunn! Dunn, Christina Dunn, man! You know, that's awesome!"

As soon as this statement came out, the girl just now couldn't help choking and echoing, "Yes, that song is great!"

But at this time, there was a voice next to him: "No, believe me, that's definitely not what Christina sang, I'm her fan, I've listened to every song she sang, and I have every album of her in my collection. , believe me, that's not her voice."

At this moment, a person who has just walked out of the auditorium responded: "That's right, man, it really wasn't sung by Christina Dunn, I'll leave it at the end to read the subtitles, that song is called "My-heart-" will-go-on" by a guy named LIAO-LIAO, but... LIAO-LIAO... oh my gosh, that's such a strange name! I'm going home and surfing the Internet to check out this singer I swear, this song of hers is so good, but I have never heard her song before!"

"LIAO-LIAO?" Jack is also a fan, and also a fan of Christina Dunn. He has a certain understanding of the music world, but when he heard the name, he was also at a loss.

At this time, the audience of the last game had all left, and their game at 11 o'clock had already started to cut tickets.

The buddy next to him walked by and saw that he was holding the hand of the girl next to him tightly, he couldn't help shrugging, "Please prepare a tissue for your girlfriend, buddy, trust me, or your shoulders will be soaked... …”

Jack shrugged, looked at Annie again, "Thank you!" and handed over the ticket.

When walking into the screening hall following the flow of people, Annie couldn't help grasping his arm and asked, "Honey, what if I really cry?"

Jack shrugged lightly. "Trust me, no, don't be intimidated by them. I'm with you, aren't you?"

Annie thought about it and nodded.

…………

"Oh my God!"

"My God!"

"Oh, **** it!"

It was already late at night, and there were only a few midnight screenings in the theaters at the moment.

And according to this time, it is time for Annie to be too sleepy to open her eyes, but today, her eyes are opened wider than ever.

And... the tears have begun to accumulate.

"The problem is, my God, it is said that there will be partings in the end. It's not here yet. It just started to die, and Annie started to cry. What should I do next?" Jack couldn't help but began to complain.

Of course, it was only for a moment, and now he didn't even have the heart to care about Annie anymore, because he himself was completely immersed in the movie screen.

Then, very quickly, he knew how terrifying the theater was when he saw "Farewell to Life".

When the last scene came, the hero and heroine were lying on the boat and the other was soaking in the cold sea water. Jack was shivering from the cold, and Ruth's lips were dark blue, "Ruth, trust me, you will definitely survive. …”

The whole theater was whimpering, and many girls cried into tears.

Annie was sobbing, shivering uncontrollably, and crying, but at this moment, even Jack, who always prided himself on being a man, couldn't help but feel sore in his nose.

Then, the musical voice that had appeared before appeared again, and then, a female voice, sang in a low voice——

“Every–night-in-my–dreams,

I-see-you, I-feel-you,

That-is-how-I-know-you-go-on,

Far–across-the–distance,

And-spaces–between-us,

You-have-come-to-show-you-go-on,

 …”

That voice, repressed, spoke slowly, but in every word and every note, there is a full collection of emotions——

Suddenly, Jack felt like he couldn't take it anymore.

At that moment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ tears instantly blurred his vision.

"OH, GOD!"

He closed his eyes and listened carefully, while tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.

***

June is coming to an end soon, which means that the first half of the year is coming to an end, and I suddenly feel a lot of emotion.

This month, I wrote about 156,000 words, and I stopped updating for four days, but I still have an average of 5,000 words per day. In fact, because my chapters rarely have X000 words, so the number of free words that do not charge money will be more. It should add up to a little more.

Next month, I will try to write more.

Then, can I ask for a monthly guaranteed monthly pass for July? (To be continued.)
