The Hollywood Reporter is not a high-selling newspaper, but it has roots in Hollywood, and has made many contacts over the decades, often getting first-hand information about major Hollywood companies.

So many authoritative newspapers, such as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal, like to reprint the Hollywood Reporter news.

Donn chose The Hollywood Reporter for an exclusive interview because of its influence in the industry.

As in the past, the reporter's questions were prepared in advance, and the answers had been read many times.

"Unsinkable, produced by Down Pictures, did not seem to be very good at the box office in the first week, and was overshadowed by "Pearl Harbor", which was impossible in the past. Mr. Walker, is there anything you would like to say about that?"

It's just a newspaper interview, but there's a camera.

Don was dressed in a formal suit and looked upright, glancing at Ella Fisher, the little secretary at the door of the office, holding a small blackboard with the two key words "normal" and "word of mouth" written on it.

"The film market is inherently unpredictable. The audience's viewing preferences are the biggest problem faced by many filmmakers. It doesn't matter that "Pearl Harbor" surpassed "Unsinkable" at the box office last week, and it was only the box office lead. "Unsinkable" has received praise in terms of word-of-mouth, hasn't it?"

Don smiled and nodded at her.

The reporter asked: "What is the reason why the two blockbusters "Pearl Harbor" and "Unsinkable" chose to be released on the same day? Is it really the same as many people speculate, do you have a conflict with Disney?"

This is complete nonsense, I have clarified this issue many times, and I will say it again again, Hollywood has a good competitive atmosphere, and all kinds of speculation from the outside world is very irresponsible. ”

Donn smiled and continued: "In this regard, I have communicated with Mr. Michael Eisner, the chairman of the board of directors of Disney, many times, hehe, we are very good friends, and we are really not as unbearable as the outside world speculates. ”

The reporter asked: "But Disney has been making high-profile claims that "Pearl Harbor" will be the second "Titanic", and even the box office ...... What do you think about breaking the record of "Titanic"?"

"Breaking the box office record of "Titanic"? With the box office results of more than 50 million US dollars in the first week, I am afraid it is unlikely. Don smiled faintly, "But they said that "Pearl Harbor" would be the second "Titanic", which has always been a mystery in my heart that I can't solve." ”

"Oh, can you tell me more about that?"

By this time, Ira Fisher had replaced the keywords on the small blackboard with "creation", "deception", and "inheritance".

"As we all know, the producer of Titanic is James Cameron, I am the director, the actor is Leonardo Ricaprio, and the heroine is Kate Winslet...... And "Pearl Harbor", to be honest, no one in that crew has participated in the production of "Titanic", I really don't understand what that movie has to do with "Titanic", this is a completely different creation. ”

"The crew of "Pearl Harbor" and Disney have been comparing "Titanic" during the promotion, I don't quite understand the reason behind it, maybe it's just the need for publicity? I don't think so, Disney is a conscientious enterprise, they won't use the guise of "Titanic" to coax the audience into the cinema. I reckon...... There must be another purpose, right? It's up to them to explain. ”

"As for Titanic...... Hehe, speaking of which, "Unsinkable" is the sequel to "Titanic" in the true sense. From the producer, director, to the crew, the main creative staff of the two films has not changed much, which is a real inheritance. ”

"Moreover, the core of the story of the two movies is the shipwreck, "Titanic" is the tragedy of the shipwreck, it is the love of the century, and "Unsinkable" is a miracle of life staged after the shipwreck, which is a great love in the world!"

The reporter immediately bridged him and immediately said: "Mr. Walker, can I understand that "Unsinkable" is the real second "Titanic"? You and Director Cameron are trying to save the shipwreck tragedy four years ago?"

Don Zhengse said: "Of course, there is no doubt about this! "Titanic" is the work of me and Cameron, if someone in this world wants to make a movie imitating "Titanic", it must be the two of us, not Mr. Bruckheimer and Michael Bay." ”

"Unsinkable...... Is it really as exciting as "Titanic"?"

Of course, whether the director James Cameron is the director or the actor Mel Gibson, they are the guarantee of the quality of the film. Moreover, I am the producer of "Unsinkable", and I have deep confidence in my work!"

The reporter said with a smile: "So...... box office results of "Unsinkable" should rebound in the next few weeks?"

Tang En said lightly: "Of course, "Titanic" of the year also had the experience of a box office rebound, or the same sentence, this time, I joined hands with Director Cameron, just to replicate the miracle of the year!"

……

"Shrek" is very exciting, but this is an animated film, and it has entered its third week, and the entire box office market is mainly watching "Pearl Harbor" and "Unsinkable", two commercial blockbusters that are gaining momentum.

"Hey, this is NBC's Movie Watch, I'm Hannah, and I'm at the AMC Theater on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and we're going to interview a few random audience members. ”

Among the three major public television stations in the United States, NBC TV, which lacks the support of media giants, has become worse and worse in ratings, and if it does not transform, it looks like it will be overtaken by the rising star of Fox Movie Channel.

However, as a well-known outdoor show, "Film Observation" has always had good ratings, and of course, this is also related to the beautiful blonde and blue-eyed female host Hannah Wilmot.

Soon, the recording team saw a few friends who had just come out of the movie theater, looking very excited, shouting and talking about something.

Hannah walked over with a smile, briefly introduced herself, and asked, "Excuse me, did you just watch a movie, can you know which movie you watched?"

"Unsinkable!"

A black guy stepped forward first, and he seemed to have a very flamboyant personality.

The female reporter Hannah is very beautiful, and she has a smile on her face all the time, and it is easy to gain the favor of others, "Why did you choose to watch such a movie?"

"Cool!"

The black guy replied casually.

A white guy next to him stood up with a smile and said quickly: "Mel Gibson is the starring, he is a real superstar! But this is not an action movie, but it is also very exciting, hehe." ”

"And Done Walker!" another friend stood up, "The producer is Done Walker, and the poster says it! And the director is Cameron, a really great director, I really like his "Terminator" super much. Of course, this movie is better, I love "Unsinkable" to death!"

"You all seem to like watching the action genre...... Why didn't you watch "Pearl Harbor"? I heard that the film was very intense......"

Before Hannah's question was finished, the black guy directly "bah" a mouthful, "That film is just a pile of!"

My friend told me that the director of that movie was the same person as the director of "Brave Island", completely different, so boring, a bit like a French film!"

"No!" a friend stood up and grabbed the words, "The reason why we watched "Pearl Harbor" is because they said that this is a movie similar to "Titanic", and of course we all like "Titanic"!"

"Yes, yes, after reading the results, I really want to curse!"

"Yes, we were scammed, I would definitely refund if possible!"

"But the heroine is quite beautiful, haha......"

……

At the end of one group of interviewees, Hannah continued to interview several groups.

The audience's main viewing choices are "Pearl Harbor" and "Unsinkable", followed by "Monster Sclair" and "The Mummy Returns".

She interviewed more than a dozen groups of audiences one after another, and most of them praised "Unsinkable" after watching it, thinking that this movie has both moving emotions, shocking special effects, and ups and downs of the plot, which is very exciting.

And most of ...... Or maybe it's all, after watching "Pearl Harbor", the fans are full of serious scolding, and the lighter ones are also disappointed complaints, "This is not "Titanic at all", if that movie is scored 10 points, this movie can only score 1 point! No, 0.1 points!"

When she asked the audience if they would buy tickets and watch the movie again, there were two clear factions.

Most of the fans who have watched "Unsinkable" said that if they have the opportunity, they will watch this movie several times. Even if they can't go back to the cinema to buy tickets to watch it, they will definitely pay more attention to it when the disc comes out or is broadcast on TV;

And fans who have watched "Pearl Harbor......

"Watch it again? Are you kidding me? It's a miracle that I can make it last once in a movie that lasts more than three hours, and you want me to watch it again? Challenge the Guinness Book of Records?"

This movie is so disappointing that even if I waste my time reading textbooks, I won't watch this kind of big movie again. ”

"Look at it again? You mean Pearl Harbor? God, spare me, I don't want to suffer a second sin. This love scene, I am embarrassed to watch, I'm sorry, I don't have health insurance. ”

"Look at it again, you might as well kill me, and ...... happy."
