Chapter 149 "Titanic" Released
Hollywood Chinese Theatre.
As the film produced by two Hollywood giants, 20th Century Fox and Paramount, invested in and produced movies, plus a production cost of $200 million and a $100 million promotion, "Titanic" has the highest cost of all time, even though the test films held did not set off much craze, it still attracted many media reporters to report on the day it premiered.
Of course, more people come with the mentality of watching the fun.
"Man, have you read "Snow Bao Weekly" this morning?"
female journalist Antiscole said.
Upon hearing this, the photographer beside her immediately said, "I didn't read it, but if you are referring to the famous film critic Asim Albert's article criticizing "Titanic" and director Cameron, I've heard someone say it."
"hehe!"
Antiscole, a female reporter from the Los Angeles Morning Post, joked: "Then let me say it. Asim Albert commented on Cameron's movies as shit and trash with no nutritional value, and said that Cameron should jump off the building. He also threatened that "Titanic" would definitely fail. Of course, if it succeeds, he said that he would swim across the Atlantic Ocean from New York and swim all the way to London."
Swimming across the Atlantic Ocean?
Is he crazy?!
The photographer said in surprise: "These critics are really a broken mouth and they say anything."
The female reporter Antiscole also mocked: "If I remember correctly, this old guy Asim is almost 60 years old. Once he loses the bet, let alone traveling to the Atlantic Ocean, he will probably be less than 0.1 nautical mile (182 meters), and he will have to drown in it."
The two of them talked and laughed, and became the crowd of people who were eating melons.
The conflict between famous film critic Asim Albert and Cameron is not just because of the film "Titanic".
As early as when Cameron directed "Terminator 1", the two had a grudge.
When "Terminator 1" was released, in 1984, because the producer of the film, Western Pacific Film Company, lacked gold and silver, and did not give enough money to critics, critic Asim acted as a pioneer and criticized the film in various media. Of course, as the director, Cameron was inevitably hung up by him and scolded him.
However, Cameron is not a good-tempered person either!
He is a tyrant on the set!
So, Asim and Cameron started to squirt each other in the media.
As a result, Cameron was very enthusiastic and directly confused the critic Asim, and "Terminator 1" also exploded directly at the box office.
From then on, the film critic Asim, who lost once, went to a meeting to chase Cameron and refused to let go. As long as it was a movie made by Cameron, no matter the quality, rush up and scold him first!
However......
"I have no idea!"
Cameron was indeed unsure, otherwise he would not have said boldly, "If the movie fails, just use a blade to wipe your neck."
Remember, a person’s fear to the end is anger!
"You come out and I'll kill you!"
"Get out, I'll fight you~!"
This is the state of the vast majority of people when facing extreme fear.
Similarly, when a person feels guilty and extremely unconfident, some people do not retreat, but lie, and even worse, they become hysterical in the process of defense.
For example: When your parents ask about your work situation, even if you are not doing well, you will lie. If your parents ask a few more questions, your tone will become irritated, and even hang up the phone impatiently.
Just like today!
When film critic Asim spoke out again to scold Cameron, Cameron, who had always been full of violence, did not retreat. He directly started to swear in many media newspapers in the morning, directly scolding the 18th generation of film critic Asim.
His eyes were red, and his spurt posture was full of force. Those who didn't understand thought that Cameron was going to kill Asim.
.........
It was around 4 pm.
With less than an hour before the opening of the premiere of "Titanic", Zucker arrived at the venue with Zach Schneider and Christopher Nolan.
"Nolan, I heard that your brother Jonathan submitted a script to the company's production department a few days ago, um, "Memory Fragments"? Are you planning to shoot it next?"
Walking on the red carpet, Zhu Ke started chatting with them Nolan, not caring about the media reporters around him at all.
Zhuke is the boss;
Nolan is a new director who has just entered Hollywood;
How could a number of media reporters pay attention to them?
On the contrary, Zach Schneider, who was walking on the red carpet, was scrambled by media reporters to take photos before he could go far, and even the host on the scene chased him for questions.
Who made him the director of the film "Purge of Humanity" that just became popular in the United States?
"Nolan, let's leave us, don't worry about Zach. Well, don't look at his serious look now, you may be happy in your heart. Listen to me, let's go first." Zhuke cursed with a smile.
Nolan nodded.
Afterwards, Zhuke and Nolan, who entered the venue, discussed the topic of "Memory Fragments" mentioned by Zhuke just now.
Of course Zhu Ke knows the movie "Memory Fragments"!
In the original time and space, it was adapted from the novel of his younger brother Jonathan Nolan, and it was a famous work by Christopher Nolan after entering Hollywood. With a production cost of less than 5 million US dollars, it successfully won more than 30 million US dollars in North America's box office.
Even in the Great Heavenly Dynasty, in 2016, a director remakes it. Well, it is still the male lead played by Lei Jiayin, which shows that the influence of "Memory Fragments" is extraordinary. (The Great Heavenly Dynasty version is a failure, the box office is very bad)
.........
It didn't take long.
Zhuke met several leaders of Paramount and 20th Century Fox in the film project. Zhuke, one of the investors, had to have a good chat with them.
“Not ideal.”
Hall Amp, the head of Paramount, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zuke, you know. Although the big ship has a good reputation after a few tests, the big ship has a good reputation, but neither the media nor the theater companies are very optimistic about it. Even some viewers said that the big ship's length is too long."
Can the length of the film not be long?
Man, it's three hours and fifteen minutes!
The impatient audience fell asleep directly in the test scene of the previous few times!
John Chiola, the head of the 20th Century Fox, also echoed: "Anyway, let's do our best. Hey, hey, I said, Zhuke, you won't regret buying the investment share of the big ship. Haha, but now it's too late for you to regret it."
regret?
I'm afraid you will regret selling me part of the investment share!
Zhu Ke pretended to be anxious and sighed: "Man, I have paid tens of millions of dollars!"
Upon hearing this, Hall Ampe and John Chiola immediately looked at Zucker with a "we are not familiar with each other".
You won't be able to lose your life!
Our two companies have long regretted investing in big ship projects, but they never expected that you, a fool, would have bumped into him.
"Hi, Leonardo!"
At this moment, Zhuke saw Little Lizi, the male lead of "Titanic", walk into the venue, and immediately walked forward and started chatting.
Haha~!
You know, Zhu Ke is eager to make Little Little Zi one of the image spokespersons of SpongeBob SquarePants House!
The first update of "" is given.
Chapter completed!
