Bill McNick is a meritorious veteran of Fox Films, and with his qualifications, even if he messes up "Titanic", it will not have much impact on his status.

Just like in the previous life, reduce the capital investment in "Titanic", bring in other film companies to share the risk, reduce publicity costs, sell distribution rights, and avoid the loss of Fox Film in advance through a series of means.

But now it's different, Bill McNick inexplicably made a big mistake, he arbitrarily appointed an eighteen-year-old child as a director!

Such a mistake, no matter how legendary he is in the credit books, can no longer be trusted by Murdoch and News Corporation.

So now Bill McNick has only one way to go, and that is to make a mistake!

Put all the resources into the movie "Titanic", and through Fox Films' strong publicity and distribution capabilities, to build momentum for the movie, and completely fight a turnaround!

Since some people think that he has no eyes, then Bill McNick wants them to see that he is discerning!

Even if Bill McNick doesn't know much about Don and doesn't trust much, he has to stand behind him and support him strongly.

Fortunately, this movie met Bill McNick's psychological expectations.

"Every night, I look at you, I perceive you, I cross the space of the heart, read your heart, waiting for your coming......"

As Celine Dion's melodious singing voice came, the lights came on in the internal screening room of Fox Films.

I don't know who took the lead, and a series of warm applause resounded throughout the screening room.

In addition to the top management of Fox Films, there are some friends of Bill McNick in the circle, and they all stood up and applauded each other.

It's a wonderful movie, there's no doubt about it!

Bill McNick breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the mental pressure for a long time, this moment finally eased a lot, with a happy smile on his face, he walked over to Cameron quickly, holding him with both hands, "Jamie, you did a fantastic job, this is definitely the pinnacle of commercial films!"

Like Bill McNick, other professionals in the industry also got up and walked towards Cameron, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

"James, your film has changed my view of special effects! I believe that this movie will definitely mark a new era like "Star Wars"!"

"I'll admit it, I've always recognized your abilities, James. But I have to say, before that, I still underestimate you, this movie is extraordinarily wonderful!"

"I was stunned for three hours! Jamie, you know, this movie gives me a sense of time and space dislocation, especially in the last scene, Leonardo and Kate's performances, wonderful excessive!"

……

Almost everyone gathered around James Cameron, the film's producer, and the praise came one after another, and everyone shook hands excitedly.

Obviously, they didn't believe that the eighteen-year-old Donn Walker could make such a profound, perfect, and deeply rooted work.

Behind all this, it must be James Cameron!

Don looked at this scene with a smile, and said that it was definitely false if it was not bitter.

For this movie, he definitely paid no less than Cameron!

Grant sighed and came to his side, "Don, you are still young, as long as you have strength, sooner or later you will be recognized by everyone." ”

"I understand. ”

Don sighed, but instead laughed at himself.

Isn't it the recognition of these Hollywood people, is it so necessary? Looking at the whole United States, how high is Hollywood's status?

Don has a big dream, he didn't come to Hollywood to work, he wants to create a myth of his own!

As for these flattering professionals in front of him who look at Bill McNick's face, what are they?

In any case, the director's contract signed by Don is effective, and after the $5 million base salary is received, 10% of the global box office will never be less.

This money will be his first pot of gold!

Jim Ganopouros, the head of production at Fox Films, is happy on the surface, but he is also sad on the inside.

The movie "Titanic" is optimistic and does not meet his personal interests.

Once Bill McNick steps down, Tom Rothman will definitely take over as CEO, and he has a good relationship with big boss Murdoch, and is likely to take over as president of Fox Films.

But look at the current situation...... No matter what happens at the box office after the release of "Titanic" in the future, the reputation must be very good.

In fact, from Jim Ganopouros' own eyes, the film ...... The box office won't be too bad either.

"Tom, it seems that everyone is very optimistic about this movie. Jim Ganopouros said with a smile to Tom Rothman.

Tom Rothman looked disdainful, "They don't represent the fans! This movie is more than three hours long!"

Jim Ganopouros smiled: "But the word of mouth will be very good, there should be no doubt." ”

Tom Rothman snorted coldly, ""The Shawshank Redemption" also has a good reputation!"

……

Out of the screening room, Cameron walked over with an embarrassed face, "Don, I'm sorry. ”

Don understood what he meant, didn't care, and smiled: "James, you deserve it." ”

Cameron's face was a little annoyed, "They...... They are ageist!"

Don shook his head, he didn't pick up the stubble, it would be good if the money was in hand anyway.

Cameron was still a little indignant, "Don, although there was some misunderstanding between us at the beginning, but the cooperation for most of the year, I think it is still very pleasant, especially your judgment, which has proved to have very good results, in this regard, I am not as good as you!"

Donn waved his hand, "James, you know, I don't mind this, what I'm most concerned about now is whether the box office can reach 1.8 billion, so as not to make people all over the world see jokes!"

Cameron couldn't help laughing, "Who told you to talk big?" But Bill has promised me that he will devote all resources to promote "Titanic", and the overwhelming publicity offensive will continue until a month after the movie is released. ”

"Oh?" Donn's eyes lit up, "Did he say how many theaters there will be in the first week?"

Cameron glanced at Donn in confusion, "Needless to say, such a big investment in a commercial blockbuster can at least win 3,500 screens, right? Maybe 4,000?"

Don suddenly smiled, and smiled happily.

His appearance, after all, changed history and changed the fate of "Titanic".

Historically, "Titanic" was released on Christmas file, and the publicity was insufficient, there were only 2,800 theaters in the first week, and many people didn't even know that this was a romance film.

So much so that such a blockbuster that shocked film history only had a box office of more than $30 million in the first week, which was a big surprise.

Fortunately, relying on the movie's super reputation, beautiful love, and shocking special effects, after a long period of population transmission, it finally formed a huge influence all over the world, and the box office exploded and became out of control.

Seeing Cameron and Towne walking out of Fox Film hand in hand, several reporters immediately surrounded him.

"Mr. Cameron, what do you think of Director Walker's directing ability?"

"Are you still resentful that he took your directorship?"

"What do you think of Donne's wild words about a guaranteed $1.8 billion?"

……

Cameron glanced at Donn, who had a calm, seemingly unrelated face, "The trailer for the movie will be available on all major TV stations in the United States tonight, and I want to tell you that the movie is far more exciting than the trailer! As for Donne...... The box office and the quality of the film, will speak for itself!"

"Mr. Walker, it is said that Mr. Jon Landau, one of the producers of "Titanic", does not recognize your ability and thinks that you are very likely to mess up the project of the century, what do you think about this?"

"Jon Landau?"

Don and Cameron looked at each other, both showing a bit of surprise.

Jon Landau was fired by Fox Films a long time ago, just for the sake of his fame, and it was not made public. didn't expect that he would dare to rub the heat on the topic of "Titanic"?

"You want to step on me and climb up, Jon Landau, am I really a bully?"

Tang En was faintly angry in his heart, and he didn't show it, but just said calmly and calmly, "Titanic, it won't sink!"

Sonorous and powerful, loud and powerful!
