Hollywood Drawing

200 million US dollars, the meaning represented by this number is very special for the present. You don't have to look too far. Just two years ago, Universal Pictures threw $200 million into "Water World", and it was almost impossible to watch.

Now, in the three and a half years of production, "Titanic" has also burned in 200 million US dollars one after another, and it is difficult not to let the media start to associate it. Needless to say, in today's era, even if the time is moved back 20 years, the production cost of 200 million US dollars is still the only one in Hollywood and even the world.

At this time, James Cameron himself was actually beating drums in his heart. Since the production of "Titanic" has been completed, both insiders and the media have always been cynical about this big ship. Even the executives of Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount are actually not very optimistic about the film.

The reason for the huge premiere and the unremitting efforts to promote it before the release is more because it was kidnapped by the huge production cost. Twentieth Century Fox's investment in the announcement and distribution of "Titanic" was completely Forcibly pushing and walking, riding a tiger is more difficult than willingly.

The big boat drawn in all kinds of mockery, jokes, and satire is not necessarily a bad thing. No matter whether everyone is not optimistic about this film, it has also won the attention of the whole North America for this big boat.

Just like today's premiere, more than 200 media were present, and there were at least 400 or 500 reporters on the red carpet. The huge amount of attention is another low-cost way of publicity. Twentieth Century Fox even maintained a live broadcast of the premiere of "Titanic" on its Fox TV network for this big ship.

The presence of a large number of first- and second-tier stars and directors from various circles in the circle made the premiere of this unpopular film full of stars.

James Cameron, as the host, has always stood at the door of the theater to welcome guests, unless it is a guest who needs to be accompanied by him, he himself stands quietly at the end of the red carpet, watching the big stars in the circle walk up. red carpet.

It's precisely Wayne, a guest that truck drivers can't ignore. When others come to the platform, they may be invited by 20th Century Fox and Paramount, or to gain popularity and exposure. He is completely different. Everyone knows that he I have never been reluctant to attend such high-profile occasions, but I was able to come because of a promise on the Oscar stage.

"James, it's like when I got $200 million a few years ago and started making Batman: The Dark Knight."

After shaking hands with James Cameron, the three of Wayne went inside while chatting. "The media and many insiders are laughing at Warner Bros.' indulgence towards me, not only laughing at the fact that I took over "Batman" as a joke, but also in the media, there is a lot of reports that "Batman" will become a Waterloo in my career. "

Shrugging, he turned his head to look at the silent truck driver beside him, and continued seriously: "You should understand what I mean, those who laughed at "Batman" turned into a real joke in the end."

"thanks."

Looking at this young director who was much younger than himself, James Cameron nodded sincerely, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Wayne, you have more confidence in "Titanic" than I am as a director."

"That's because I understand your abilities."

Several people walked into the lounge, and Wayne nodded to greet the guests from time to time, but the chatter with the other party didn't stop. "When I was a teenager, I contributed $11.50 in pocket money for the first "Terminator" movie. You don't know, since I saw that movie, I knew the director was a genius, a genius."

The $11.50 was exactly the money for a movie ticket, and the two men laughed almost simultaneously.

One thing that is very interesting in North America is the pricing of movie tickets. Starting in the mid-1980s, the ticket price to watch a movie was in the early 10s. Now in the late 1990s, the ticket price to walk into a movie theater and watch a movie is still only 13 dollars.

What is even more surprising is that even after ten years, the price of watching a movie is still more than ten dollars. If you calculate the impact of inflation and the depreciation of the US dollar, in fact, in the past 20 to 30 years, the prices of North American movie tickets have not increased much.

In fact, the only large-scale price increase opportunity for North American movie tickets was created by James Cameron. That's right, it is the massive popularity of 3D. When the popularity of 3D driven by "Avatar" spread all over the world, the cinema company finally took advantage of this upsurge and set a price for 3D that is much higher than that of ordinary movie tickets.

This rule applies to all film markets in the world. The relevant practitioners know very well that the cost of 3D projection is basically the same as that of 2D. However, this does make the cinema and capital the best reason to increase the price by default.

"I'm really busy today, Wayne."

In the corner of the VIP rest area, James Cameron stayed for more than ten minutes, raised a hand, pointed to the direction of the theater entrance downstairs, and said apologetically: "I'll ask you to come with me when I'm busy with this section. Play, then we can sit down and have a good chat. I'm very happy to have you on the platform, thank you again."

Having said that, the truck driver stood up, shook hands with Wayne again, and prepared to go downstairs to continue to greet the guests who came to the platform.

"Listen, James, I'm not kidding."

Shaking the truck driver's hand vigorously, Wayne's face was full of seriousness, and he whispered, "I hope you will personally award my golden statuette, and then I will put it back on your hand, ok. ?"

"Ok."

James Cameron first had a wry smile on his face, shook his head, and looked at the other person's serious eyes. He put away all his thoughts, nodded seriously, and then turned away.

Some things are unavoidable, and many times today, Wayne is also thinking about it in his head. The strength of the announcement of "Titanic" is definitely not a big one in the category of Hollywood first-line commercial films. On schedule.

The quality of the film is really nothing to say. Even when he was still on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he had watched the re-screening of the big ship many times, so sometimes many things are difficult to understand. It is such a Romeo Juliet-style poignant love film, But it can resonate with countless fans of all ages around the world.

"Hey, Wayne, Nami, do you want to go down together?"

Tom Cruise held Nicole Kidman in his arms, leaned over before the film started, and asked Nunuzui at the large screening hall downstairs.

"It's almost time, let's go together."

Glancing at the watch on his wrist, Wayne nodded, got up and waved to a staff member. Under the leadership of the other party, they walked towards the place reserved by the organizer.

As several people entered the theater, more and more audiences, media representatives and guests also took their seats. At 8:00 p.m., this ship, which is full of mystery in the eyes of countless people, finally officially met the audience.

Since the beginning of the movie, Naomi Watts and Nina's eyes have frequently switched between the big screen and the main creator's position in the first row, and the two women are also discussing something in a low voice from time to time.

"God, he is so handsome! ****, why is he so handsome?!"

Wayne only vaguely heard a sentence, immediately rolled his eyes, looked at Tom, who was two seats away, and shook his head with a wry smile.

He has encountered such a situation. When "Seven Deadly Sins" was released, Naomi Watts kept talking about Brad Pitt. Now when watching "Titanic", it is still the same tone, the same The adjective, this time it's even more extreme, even Nina, who has always been suspected of being indifferent, widened her eyes and didn't want to miss a frame.

Through the performance of the two women, he knew how charming Leonardo DiCaprio was. No wonder there were countless girls who went into the theater crazily again and again, just to watch his dream lover, Xiao Lizi. God Yan.

I have to say that Leonardo DiCaprio at this stage can definitely be regarded as a killer of men, women and children. His appearance makes people completely willing to redefine the term poor boy.

"You must accompany us to the celebration reception for a while!"

Naomi Watts was not embarrassed at all, raised her elbow and poked Wayne, put her arm around Nina's shoulder and said fiercely, "We're going to see if this actor is so handsome in reality!"

"You can do whatever you want, I don't care."

Wayne shook his head, his eyes didn't leave the big screen, it didn't matter if he went to the reception, he was just going home late.

As for whether to get to know Da Shuai Bi in the movie, he really has no idea at all. The time of the other party's release on the big ship is completely the most **** and arrogant stage. Compared with Tom Cruise, the other party is not as clear as Tom Cruise.

These things have been reported in many news, and it was not until a few years after the release of the big ship ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ that Xiao Lizi gradually stepped out of the stage of self-inflation and gradually became a veteran in the circle.

Not only the women around, but the entire large screening hall of 1,600 people, the women's exclamations sounded from time to time in the back row, but with the trend of the plot, the whole movie theater slowly returned to silence. A story that immerses all viewers.

"You have to promise me...promise me you will survive...never give up...no matter what happens...no matter how hopeless... ....Promise me now, don't forget this promise!"

"Ruth, listen to me...listen...won that ticket was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me...he brought me to you ...I'm grateful, Ruth...appreciated..."

When the movie came to the end, Jack soaked in the icy sea water and said the last words intermittently. In the whole movie theater, the voices from small to loud slowly resounded through the cry of women.

"No, no, no... God, why is this!"

"please! No, Jack..."

"Damn, why, it can't be like this!"

A large number of viewers shouted in different voices, and they couldn't help expressing regret in their own way for the ending of this short-lived love.
