Chapter 291: Director Cameron, what you said, but Mr. Lin Bao's "My Heart is Eternal"
After watching Lin Bao's crew for half a day, Tom Hanks and Leonardo left Jincheng that night.
Regarding the contract for the English version of Lin Bao's new book, Tom Hanks only acted as a representative of interest, and the real contract was signed, or it was brought over by the professionals of Hill Press.
Originally, this time, he also came with some selfishness of his own, wanting to meet such a young Oriental author who seemed to be very legendary. He really wanted to stay and talk more about methodology with such a master performer.
However, the conditions did not allow, and he also stayed in the eastern country for a day, and then returned to the United States with some regrets.
Leonardo stayed in the Oriental Country, according to his own activity arrangement, to carry out the Oriental 3D re-screening of the huge shipwreck.
Regarding the news that the two actors visited Lin Bao at the same time and visited Lin Bao's set, neither party wanted to do publicity.
In the crew, other members and actors, including Yu Chenghao, were all immersed in an afternoon of filming, and they didn't notice at all that behind the surveillance screen over there, the two people standing next to Lin Bao turned out to be two Western actors.
However, although they didn't want to spread the news, two days later, Lin Bao left Jincheng with the crew, and on the way back to Beijing, the news about Tom Hanks and Leonardo appearing in Jincheng at the same time was still broken on the Internet.
It wasn't a few members of the director team, but a waiter at the hotel in Tsujo who secretly took a photo and sent it to a friend. As soon as the friend spread it in the circle again, it was naturally known to the whole network at once.
For this news, the parties concerned did not have much disgust.
Leonardo was originally promoting in China, and the producer and distributor just took advantage of this to promote a wave.
And Lin Bao's studio also quickly sent out the news that after the recommendation and introduction of the two actors, Lin Bao's "Actor's Self-cultivation" will be released in English by Hill Publishing Company in the United States, and then start the journey of global sales.
"I'm going! Is it so fast? It's not been half a year since the domestic market was listed, and the English version is about to be released!
"The two movie stars are actually reading this book by Lin Bao, is this book also very popular in foreign countries now?"
"I'm a little curious, there is no English version yet, how do the two actors read Mr. Lin Bao's book? I remember that both of them are not very good at Chinese, is it to find someone to translate for themselves?"
"This book by Lin Bao is about performance theory, and performance theory, whether it is Eastern or Western, is the same. It is only a matter of time before this book becomes popular in the West. ”
"Even the old and new movie stars came to find Lin Bao, Lin Bao is going to rush out of the East to the world!"
In fact, Boss Bo'er's popularity in the West is not low! In the past, the two pieces of music he composed appeared in the Vienna Golden Hall in the West, and he has already made a name for himself at Western music festivals. There is also his live music course, which is also hot on YouTube. And the song "Pure Land of Bliss", and now this performance theory ......"
"Almighty Boss Boa!"
......
On the Internet, for Lin Bao and his "Actor's Self-cultivation" to be released in English, the discussion among netizens is still very strong.
In particular, this time it is a domestic performance theory book, and everyone is even more excited to go abroad to represent the national honor and show the achievements of domestic performance theory masters to the world.
Before, because Lin Bao was going to make a movie, and Lu Yuan was also involved, some controversies and discussions on the Internet were quickly dispersed by this incident.
Everyone was very excited, not only the audience, but also some professionals.
The birth of such a textbook-level work on performance theory is a memorable point in time. And it will be a commemorative event for it to go abroad and go to the world, for the domestic film and television industry.
In fact, if you want to talk about the source of theatrical performance, it actually has a very early origin in China, that is, opera performance.
However, in modern times, as opera, and even drama, began to weaken, the development of film and television drama performances has led the way abroad. Although it is said that even foreign countries have not formed a complete performance system, but in terms of the whole experience and the good works produced, foreign countries are incomparable to China.
In recent years, with the development of the Internet, there has been a small explosion in the film and television industry.
Various domestic film and television companies, including film and television academies, many actors, and traffic stars are taking advantage of the situation.
However, what was taken out still disappointed many people.
In particular, the domestic fan economy and public opinion effect have caused the phenomenon of traffic stars.
Of course, it's not that all traffic stars don't have acting skills.
But in China, there are indeed too many disappointing works.
And Lin Bao's book, firstly, can be said to be a textbook that can only be learned by all actors, and it is also a textbook that can be guided by all those who are interested in acting, and secondly, it can be regarded as a counterattack of domestic film and television performance theory.
Before the fire in the country, everyone sought after.
And now, the top five publishing houses in the United States are published, and it seems to be a key project, which is the real representative of the domestic film and television performance theory to achieve a global counterattack.
Everyone is also looking forward to such a book being published abroad soon, and then hitting the bestseller list that is very valued and valuable abroad.
The discussion of this matter quickly formed a certain heat on the whole network. In addition, here, including the top domestic film and television schools, and even the official, have published news to express their support and congratulations, and netizens are naturally more eager.
The result of this phenomenon is:
Originally, with great expectations, the shipwreck publicity team that was ready to set off a wave of enthusiasm in the East was Leonardo, and found that even such a blockbuster news that the 3D version of the shipwreck was about to be re-screened in the domestic summer file of the East, it was on the East Network, and it did not cause too much heated discussion.
Even though this movie was once a global hit, it got a lot of box office in the East, and it is still in the top three of the total box office.
Even if it is in the Oriental fan circle, it has been at the forefront of discussion and scoring for so many years.
However, for the current domestic netizens, Lin Bao and his books seem to make everyone take it to heart.
In this regard, the shipwreck publicity team also felt a little helpless.
For a long time, Hollywood masterpieces have been invincible in the East.
Any mega news, publicity, distribution, will quickly occupy the front page headlines.
But recently, although there are still no local giants in the East, it seems that in the East, some of their own kings of popularity have begun to gradually rise.
"James. ”
Early in the morning, before the publicity team set off to attend today's promotional conference in an auditorium in Beijing, producer Jon Landau suddenly approached director James Cameron.
"Jon, what's wrong?"
Cameron, with long white hair and a typical big Western nose, is in front of the mirror, arranging his black bow tie.
"James, there's one thing I'd like to talk to you about today's press conference. ”
Jon looked at him and said, "I talked to the directors of the company, and in order to have a better publicity effect in the East this time, I want you to mention it at today's press conference, when you talk to those Oriental media, in the new "Titanic", you will consider using ...... No, I hope I can join the song "My Heart is Eternal" by an oriental musician named Lin Bao. ”
"What do you mean?"
Cameron looked at him a little strangely, "Isn't our film already made?
The time when the shipwreck 3D version was launched in the east was in the summer file, and it was a little earlier, in May and June, in order to commemorate the shipwreck day. Now less than two months have passed since the release of the movie, and the converted 3D version of the movie has already been confirmed, and it has even been shown in the United States and several other countries.
It's impossible to change it anymore.
"The company also takes into account the publicity ...... of this film in the East"
Jon also said helplessly.
He is a producer, and Cameron's status is not low, but in Hollywood, the real voice is still in the hands of those distribution companies.
He also received a request from the company temporarily.
Fox, on his side, felt that Lin Bao's popularity and influence in the East and even the West were enough to affect the promotion of this movie, so he made such a decision to change the theme song.
Cameron frowned slightly.
He had heard the song "My Heart Is Eternal", which the Oriental had composed live at the entrance of the Vienna Musikverein. He has nothing to resist about the music itself. Even he himself was thinking about cutting this song into a new movie, but for various reasons, time, plus copyright, and influence, respect for the original fans, etc., so in the end, when the 3D version was remade, the original soundtrack was used.
And now, Fox is suddenly going to change the soundtrack......
This is not a question of whether he, the director, can change it, but a question of whether it will come in time.
"Isn't that nonsense?"
Cameron couldn't help but say.
Even if that song is good enough, the influence is also great in the East, but on such a huge production, temporarily changing the music, the effect is unknown. I don't know the tendency in the hearts of oriental audiences, if it is taken out, it will not be able to satisfy the nostalgia of the original fans, and the box office reputation will collapse, which is not something he can afford as a director.
"I know what you mean. ”
Jon patted his arm and said, "So, I'm just saying that you're going to have a sniff at the press conference now." You first say that you intend to use that song in the new movie, and then wait for the news of the press conference to get out and see how the Oriental audience reacts. If it's not good, we'll do less. If the response is good, there is still more than a month to go, just change the background music and re-edit it, it should be too late!"
"But...... We haven't gotten the rights to that music yet......"
"Just to convey an intention, James. ”
Jon looked at him, "It's not only to explore the tone of the Oriental audience, but also to send a message to the Oriental musician." That song, I think, even if you don't have to do it this time, you want to buy the rights and use it in other movies, right?"
Cameron nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I understand." ”
"Next conference, it's up to you. ”
Jon patted his arm again.
......
At ten o'clock in the morning, the shipwreck 3D reset version of the Oriental Publicity Conference was held in an auditorium in Shangjing.
Because of the scene, including the director, producer, and Hollywood bigwigs such as Xiao Lizi, were present, even on the Internet, the news of the shipwreck could not do Lin Bao's recent popularity, but the scene of the announcement was still very lively.
The media has long guns and short cannons, and they have been set up early.
As the host's publicity began, the scene began to be carried out one by one according to the scheduled process.
Among them, the most important one is the director, producer, starring, and the three giants came to the stage to tell the story behind the new production of the shipwreck.
"First of all, the first question, about the 3D reset of Titanic, how did it come about in the first place......?
"Actually, personally, I've never been a big fan of 3D technology. I think that the current 3D is not a real 3D experience, but a visual deception. So, when Jon came to me and said he wanted to reset the 3D version, my first instinct was to refuse. ”
Cameron looked at Jon Landau, the producer sitting next to him, and continued, "But Jon knows me, and he knows that unless he can really touch me, take out the effect, and put it in front of him, I will definitely not agree." So, he prepared a 3D effect clip in advance, and after watching it, I instantly changed my opinion about the transformation. ”
"Which paragraph?"
"It's the part of the shipwreck. ”
Cameron said here, and there were some colors flying in his eyes, "You definitely can't imagine that under the 3D effect, the shipwreck is broken, and the sound effect, the visual effect, is simply shocking." When you get to the theater later, I think you'll get to know it. ”
"Indeed, the audience in the East, during this period of discussion on the Internet, everyone is also very much looking forward to the 3D remake of this movie!
"Yes, it took us more than a year to complete the 3D transition. Luckily, we were able to screen it around the world in time for the 100th anniversary......"
Next, it's basically a matter of following the process.
After talking about the whole film production issue, the host looked at the hand card, added a temporary one, paused and said: "So in addition to these things in the production and publicity, does Director Cameron have any other things about this movie that he wants to share with the Oriental audience, or is it ...... Hmm, what you want to say?"
"Actually, I know that this movie has a lot of audiences in the East, even the largest audience in the world. So myself, when I was in the process of making the transition, including discussing with Jon and the producers of Fox, I also wanted to consider more about the aesthetics of the Oriental audience, including what I wanted to see. Inside, including editing, music, and some visual effects, have all been considered. ”
Cameron smiled and said, "Among them, I even considered wanting to use the theme song "My Heart is Eternal" as the theme song in the version screened in the East. ”
"Oh?
The host deliberately raised his tone, "Director Cameron, what you said, but our very young and talented musician in the East, Mr. Lin Bao's "My Heart is Eternal"?"
Not only the host, but also the media in the audience, when they heard the words "Lin Bao" and "My heart is eternal", they also instantly cheered up.
There's material to dig into!
