Chapter 348: The Second Big Ship
Everything was ready, and the oil tanker "Pendeton" finally came slowly.
For various reasons, James Cameron failed to complete the filming as planned, but the "Penderton" oil tanker became the pinning of all his hopes.
On May 25th, the curtain officially opened!
During this period of time, "Pearl Harbor" has been very high-profile, from the main creative staff to the behind-the-scenes personnel, almost all of them have become the target of publicity. Disney's production department is very resolute up and down, that is, through this film, to sweep away Disney's decline in the film market!
At the premiere of "Pearl Harbor", it was full of friends, and Disney's connections were undoubtedly revealed at this time. And because of the remarkable publicity effect, many well-known film critics have taken the initiative to participate in the premiere, eager to see it.
Compared with the high profile of "Pearl Harbor", "Unsinkable" is much more low-key.
Throughout the publicity period, "Unsinkable" was completely reduced to a foil to "Pearl Harbor".
In fact, this is normal, if Don doesn't use his personal charm to promote "Unsinkable", Universal Pictures' distribution ability alone is not Disney's opponent at all.
Of course, it's not all without effect.
At least in the advance screening, fans who eagerly asked for tickets still lined up in long lines in the cinema.
It's just that compared to the star-studded over there, the premiere here is a little shabby.
"Is it really okay? Even Mr. Mayor, he went over there. ”
In the lounge, James Cameron answered a phone call, and then his face was a little gloomy, and his originally red face also showed a little worry.
Donn smiled, "What's the problem? You don't think Michael Bay's level can compare to you, right?"
Cameron shook his head and sighed, "If it was ten or twenty years ago, of course I wouldn't be worried. But now the times are changing too fast, and the role of film promotion is becoming more and more obvious. ”
Tang En said lightly: "Of course, the importance of propaganda is getting stronger and stronger, but the premise is the correct propaganda strategy! "Pearl Harbor" is comparing "Titanic" everywhere, which is going to a dead end. ”
Cameron glanced at the time and stood up, "I hope so!"
Tang En smiled and said confidently: "On the last big ship, we joined forces to create a miracle, James, this big ship, we can still write a legend!"
Cameron glanced back at him and smiled, "Don, you're always so positive. Let's go, let's get started, let's go meet the guests. ”
……
Donn, accompanied by Liv Taylor, appeared on this end of the red carpet.
She is the heroine of "Unsinkable", and she is dressed brilliantly tonight, wearing a blue suspender evening dress, the deep V on her chest is open to the position of the navel, and both hemispheres are exposed.
A small assistant walked over quickly and whispered in Donn's ear, "The reporters have all been arranged, all of them are pre-determined questions, a total of 3." ”
Don nodded with a smile, and then took Liv Taylor and walked on the red carpet.
For a while, the flash flashed rapidly, setting off the night as if it were day, and Liv Taylor seemed to be a different person, elegant and demure, with generous manners, gently waving to reporters and fans on both sides of the red carpet.
It is...... Walking is too slow!
That's why Don hates walking the red carpet with female stars.
However, "Unsinkable" has lagged behind in terms of publicity, and this time, Tang En can only cooperate with the crew's arrangement to make a stylish appearance.
Finally came to the end of the red carpet, and Donn smiled and found the reporter of the Los Angeles Times.
"Hello Mr. Walker, do you have confidence in the box office of "Unsinkable"? This is your second collaboration with director Cameron, will you work together to break the record of "Titanic"?"
Don said in one breath: "The box office is the data of the film company, and I think what fans value is the quality of the movie. At the box office, I can't predict, but in terms of quality, I can assure fans that "Unsinkable" will be as good as "Titanic". ”
"As we all know, tonight's China Grand Theater, "Pearl Harbor" is also holding a premiere, and they think that "Pearl Harbor" can break the box office record of "Titanic", is this true?"
Don said with a smile: "It's not convenient for me to evaluate the movies of my peers, "Pearl Harbor" has been comparing my movie "Titanic" in the promotion stage, and it seems to be ...... They will surpass my past achievements. Everyone has a different opinion, and I can't say much, but "Titanic" is a big ship, and today's "Unsinkable" is another ship. While they are aligning with the first ship, our second ship will set sail tonight. ”
"The last question, also the premiere, was over there in Pearl Harbor...... It seems to be much grander than this, what do you think of such a situation?"
Don said calmly and indifferently: "Movies are a gift from Hollywood to fans all over the world, not a few celebrities. From this point of view, as the producer of "Unsinkable", I have been working together with director Cameron to show the greatest sincerity in front of the fans. ”
……
"Now, let's invite Mr. Richard Lifsey, the crew member of the shipwreck and the great rescue hero, to appear!"
Immediately, there was thunderous applause in the screening hall.
An eighty-year-old man got up slowly, and with the support of the staff, walked to the front desk.
Donn, who was sitting below, yawned boredly.
More than a dozen survivors of the shipwreck just went up just now, all of them are in their eighties, and they still have to promote the movie in this way, and Don doesn't like this way from the bottom of his heart.
However, the global side seems to be happy with this, and during the publicity period, these old people have repeatedly shown their heads and played the emotional card.
"I always felt that Hollywood's way of treating the elderly was ...... Lack of respect. ”
Donn couldn't help but whisper in James Cameron's ear.
Cameron gave him a strange look, "It's not in your interest?" maybe...... They also love the feeling of receiving applause. ”
Don pouted, "The monkeys in the circus can also get applause!"
Cameron frowned, "Donn, your analogy is very inappropriate!"
"Of course, I know, I just think...... If the movie doesn't start, I'm going to fall asleep. The ritual was too complicated and too long. Don sighed.
Charlize Theron, who was sitting on the other side, pursed her lips and smiled, and said jokingly, "In my opinion...... Don, you're anxious about shifting. You're not annoying these old people at all, you're worrying about Pearl Harbor on the other side. ”
Don was slightly stunned, then laughed, "Charlie, are you good at psychology?
Charlize Theron bit her lip and muttered, "Miss Portman doesn't talk to me much!"
Don almost didn't laugh.
Harvard hasn't had a holiday yet, but recently George Lucas organized a wave of reshoots of "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones", and Natalie didn't have many scenes, but she was also called back and filmed for a week.
The main reason is that Donn's "Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace" has achieved too good results, which puts too much pressure on George Lucas, and he always strives to be perfect in the post-production process.
At this rate, the production cycle for Star Wars Prequel 2 is estimated to be more than 25 months.
During this time, Natalie had a good relationship with Rose Byrne, and was a little cold to Penelope Cruz and Charlize Theron.
Tang En said in a low voice: "The main thing is that you are in too good shape, straight and upright, tall and straight, she is under a lot of pressure." ”
Charlize Theron's mouth twitched, "Then do you like me?"
"Of course, I like your body. ”
Don admits it calmly.
Charlize Theron's eyes were full of hope, "That's it...... Just the body?"
Don En looked indifferent and pointed to the front, "Okay, the ceremony is over, it's time to watch a movie!"
Charlize Theron's eyes suddenly darkened.
At this time, the lights in the screening room were dimmed, and it was pitch black on the big screen.
The whole hall seemed to have become a long dark night, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared on the big screen, and in the vast night sky, a ray of light flashed from the corner.
Then the light became more and more abundant and brighter.
In a burst of majestic sounds, they converged into a symbol - Down Pictures.
The movie begins!()
