Chapter 18: Thunderous applause
"I am the king of the world!"
When "Jack" stood at the bow of the ship and shouted loudly towards the vast sea, everyone at the premiere took this sentence for granted, and their love blessings for "Jack" and "Ruth" did not bring any disdain because of his origin.
In addition to some celebrity guests, there were also many well-known film critics, including Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times.
When he heard this line, it was obviously different from the ordinary audience, and his eyes were deeply locked on a figure in the front row - Donn Walker.
Kenneth Turan groaned deeply, Donne, like "Jack", was originally an unknown little person, but because of a coincidence, he stepped onto the top of society.
A little bit of "Jack's" remark in the movie is a portrayal of Donn's heart in the real world, right?
The disparity in class is the insurmountable gap between the love of "Jack" and "Ruth", and Done's age seems to be a huge barrier for him to direct super blockbusters.
The intersection of fates suddenly made Kenneth Turan feel that Donne Walker was likely to be the most suitable director for "Titanic", and he was the only one who could guide the hero and heroine, and vividly express the tragic love that is jealous of the world and tired of fame.
"The painting style is retro, the rhythm is excellent, the acting skills are passable, it is a good movie!"
Not long after the opening, Kenneth Turan had already given the film a good review in his heart.
And the next plot, tense and contradictory, the story line connected in series, deeply attracted the energy of everyone present, especially the hero and heroine returned to the lower class, dancing freely, and laughing freely, which made many people smile. And the scene of "Jack" sketching "Ruth" makes people almost forget to breathe.
Kate Winslet's beauty not only made the male compatriots present breathless, but also made the female comrades stare wide-eyed.
Beautiful picture, with beautiful love, maybe ...... This is a real romance movie, right?
"Even if I've seen it many times, I have to say, Kate, you're so beautiful!" Don leaned over and whispered in her ear.
It was the first time that Kate had a breakthrough performance on the big screen, and she was inevitably ashamed, pursed her lips, and glanced at him, "Watch a movie!"
Don sighed, "Do you know how many paints I have adjusted to make your body artistic?"
Kate was helpless, "Okay, Donn, thank you for taking such a beautiful picture of me." ”
Don smiled, "Go to me at night, right?"
Kate glared at him angrily, "That's your real purpose, right?"
Don shrugged, "You know, I'm still single. ”
Kate rolled her eyes angrily, "Then you're going to talk about a girlfriend, what are you looking for me?"
Don pouted, "Let's watch a movie." ”
The love between "Jack" and "Ruth", according to everyone's expectations, gradually reached its peak, and the sparks in the love and honey, a smile, and a look were all fully expressed.
I have to say that in the second half of the whole movie, the performances of Leonardo and Kate really showed their full strength.
But then, tragedy began.
Icebergs, shipwrecks, life and death......
In the screening room, there was a lot of silence all of a sudden.
Everyone was immersed in it, trembling with grief.
Is it true that all beautiful love ends in tragedy? Is this true of Romeo and Juliet, and of Jack and Ruth?
Tears can't stop flowing downward.
Of course, such stories can't fool professionals and film critics, who are stunned and focus more on the film's unparalleled special effects technology.
In the 90s, when the special effects were not enough, the big ship was split across the Atlantic, and such a shot made every professional shocked!
"How is this done?"
"God, I finally understand why this movie cost so much!"
"There's a good chance the film ......"
……
What was the last time a movie brought such a visual feast to the nation?
It's 1977's Star Wars!
Now, "Titanic" is likely to embark on this road that leads the national trend and shocks the world!
The special effects of the movie are realistic, shocking, and dizzying!
Not to mention how vulgar and old-fashioned the story itself is, the last twenty minutes of the drama alone are enough to make this movie popular all over the world.
Many film critics and professionals can't help but tremble when they think of the bold words that film director Done Walker once released.
Don't......
Ordinary viewers are naturally in two dimensions from professionals, and they can't hide their weeping as they listen to the last words of "Jack" and "Ruth".
Don even found that Kate, who was beside him, also secretly wiped her eyes.
Don laughed out loud with a "poof".
Kate snorted, "I almost died trying to shoot this shot, Donne, I almost died!
Tang En smiled: "Of course, it's okay, but don't wear makeup, and you'll have to thank you for a while." ”
"I know!"
It was the first time Kate had watched the finished film, and her energy was quickly attracted to the movie again.
The lifeboat came, "Ruth" was rescued, and the heart of the ocean became the last illusion of the whole movie.
"Don Walker Works!"
This shot stunned almost all the film critics and professionals present.
What's going on?
Isn't "Titanic" Cameron's work? Isn't Done Walker a working boy who replaces the plan? So what kind of character is Cameron?
In the next shot, it was Cameron's turn.
"Producer: James Cameron. ”
The editing of the film was done by Cameron, and with such a lens design, Don understood what he meant.
Now the whole of Hollywood agrees that "Titanic" is Cameron's work, and Donn Walker is just Cameron's camera tool to complete his ideas, and an eighteen-year-old child, even if he is a genius, cannot independently direct a commercial blockbuster.
But Cameron understands that Don is by no means as incompetent as the outside world rumores, and the reason why this movie can be presented smoothly is due to his early preparation, and the post-production is completely dominated by Donn.
Cameron was a man of integrity, and he wanted to be successful and gain great fame, but he didn't like to take credit from others to improve his status.
Advancing Donn's name and generously branding it as "Done Walker works" is a powerful counterattack made by Cameron to make up for the debt to Donn from outside rumors.
……
As Celine Dion's deep and melodious singing faded away, the theater was lit up again.
And the moment the lights came on, it was overwhelming applause.
As if they had discussed, everyone stood up collectively, their eyes locked on the crew of "Titanic" in the front row, and their crystal eyes were full of respect and admiration.
The applause was like a tide, and the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles was boiling.
Without a doubt, this is a perfect commercial blockbuster!
Bill McNick felt the warm atmosphere brought by the strong applause, and his cloudy eyes were mixed with excitement, he looked at the crew of "Titanic" who walked to the front of the stage and prepared for the curtain call, his eyes wandered from Cameron to Don Walker.
For the first time, he felt that this kid was ...... It's not simple.
"Perhaps...... Can it really work miracles?"
Bill McNick's exhilarating mood was like this long-lasting applause, thunderous and magnificent, proud and proud.
