Because Charlie's angelic trio was busy with the global promotion of "Breaking Bads 2", they still couldn't make it to the filming of "Casino Royale" in Italy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Therefore, the originally planned one-month Italian filming cycle also ended two days before the opening of the Venice Film Festival, and the crew began to move to the United Kingdom, the last stop of the film's shooting, and Eric was invited by the Venice film organizer to stay at the opening ceremony of the 53rd Venice Film Festival and the premiere of "Titanic" that night.

Cameron returned to Los Angeles at the beginning of the month, and with the support of the Firefly Records department, he rushed to complete the recording of "My Heart Lasts Forever" in three weeks, and the singer he chose was still Celine Dion, and with Eric's remote telephone intervention, the song was not much different from the original version, and a new copy of the ending song was also sent to Los Angeles the day before the opening ceremony on September 28.

These days, because the crew of "Casino Royale" is filming in Venice, "Titanic", the most expensive film in history, will premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and the Venice Film Festival itself, the city of Venice can be described as extremely lively, and a large number of media who were not too interested in the Venice Film Festival have rushed from all over the world for the above reasons.

At the same time, coming back again, Cameron is not alone, Katzenberg happened to be in France in recent days to deal with some affairs of Disneyland Paris, and he also followed, but the relationship between Katzenberg and Cameron is not very good, both of them are the kind of hot-tempered and stubborn guys, Eric has no intention of bringing the two together for the time being, as long as they don't fight. After all, there is no personal conflict between the two people, one for the company and the other for the movie, so as long as the future box office performance of "Titanic" can meet expectations, when the time comes, Eric will come forward to mediate, and the mustard between the two people will be naturally eliminated.

September 28th.

As the opening film, the premiere of "Titanic" is scheduled for 7 p.m. local time.

After attending the opening ceremony of the film festival during the day, Eric showed his face a little at the subsequent reception, and hurriedly left to join the preparations for the premiere of "Titanic".

Just after 6 p.m., outside the Lido Cinema Palace, a large number of media reporters and fans have gathered on both sides of the long red carpet, and it seems to be more lively than the opening ceremony during the day.

Although most of the management within the Firefly Group is not very optimistic about "Titanic", with the strong support of Eric, the company still invested a large publicity budget for "Titanic", in order to make this premiere more popular, everyone, including Eric, tried their best to contact the celebrity guests who could attend the premiere.

In addition to most of the judges of the Venice Film Festival and all the main creators of "Titanic", including Liam Neeson, Dustin Hoffman, Pierce Brosnan, Nicolas Cage, Brigitte Fonda, Holly Hunt, Sophie Marceau, Juliette Binoche and other heavyweight Hollywood and European stars, even though many people are watching "Titanic", but when these guests appear on the red carpet, they still frequently cause screams from fans and crazy photos from media reporters.

As the host, Eric appeared with Katzenberg and Cameron at the beginning of the red carpet, and the three of them walked across the red carpet, took photos in the media area, answered a few questions, and then entered the Palais de la CinΓ©math to greet the guests.

"Hey, Liam, I'm glad you're here, I heard the judges really liked your Michael Collins this time, good luck. ”

"Oh, Bridget, you're still so pretty...... Of course, of course, if there is a chance in the next movie, I will definitely find you to cooperate. ”

"Cage, I thought you might not have time. ”

After a series of greetings, Eric had just sent Nicolas Cage to the movie palace, and Sophie Marceau, who was wearing a long black dress and a lazy attitude, walked over, Sophie had almost no change from a few years ago, with smooth black hair, eyes like water, a delicate face, and a very comfortable smile.

"Hey, Sophie, long time no see," Eric stepped forward and stretched out his hands slightly towards the girl, after filming "Braveheart", although Sophie took on a few more roles in Hollywood, but the two did not meet a few times, this time Eric only called tentatively, thinking that if there was no contact for a long time, the other party would refuse, but Sophie agreed.

Gently hugged Eric, Sophie let go of him, but there was a faint dissatisfaction on her face: "Eric, I almost don't want to pay attention to you." ”

"Oh, can I see why?" said Eric, pretending to be frightened.

Sophie gave him a blank look and said, "Do you remember what you promised me?"

Eric deliberately showed a puzzled expression, saw the girl wrinkled her nose angrily, and hurriedly said: "Okay, of course I remember, Bond Girl, but, I'm really sorry, Sophie, the production strategy of the 007 series has been greatly adjusted, and this sequel does not have the role of the villain Bond Girl, so you can only wait until the next one." ”

"Well, for the sake of you finally remembering this, I forgive you," Sophie waved at him, and then laughed, "I thought you were talking nonsense to make women forget it." ”

"Oh, it's sad that you think so," Eric said, looking hurt, "But, well, it's actually my fault that I forgot to inform you beforehand, so how about giving me a chance to apologize?"

"I'm curious how you're going to apologize," Sophie glanced at him charmingly, and added, "Mr. the richest man in the world, it's not okay to be insincere." ”

"No problem," Eric said cheerfully, "I'll buy the Eiffel Tower tomorrow and have it delivered to your house." ”

Sophie looked disgusted: "I don't want second-hand goods." ”

"Okay, then build a new one in your yard. ”

"Hehe," Sophie laughed happily, and when she saw a few more guests at the entrance, she stopped joking and waved at Eric, "You go ahead and greet the guests, I'll go in first." ”

Eric nodded, and said, "We'll have dinner together." ”

Sophie nodded and said, "Well, as long as you have time, I know that you are a busy person." ”

"For a beauty like you, I can find time when I'm busy. ”

"Oh, rhetoric," Sophie smiled and slapped Eric lightly, didn't say anything more, and turned to walk inside.

Eric retracted his gaze and greeted the guests again, this time with two fat men, brothers Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein.

"Shakespeare's Love History" starring Daniel Daylewis and Julia has been completed, and post-production work is underway at this time, and the film is mainly aimed at the Oscar market and has nothing to do with this Venice Film Festival. However, as an award-winning professional, Miramax will definitely not miss the Venice Film Festival, this time the film is called "Crazy Years", is an American street painting artist biopic, the cast is very strong, including David Bowie, Dennis Cooper, Willem Dafoe, Gary Oldman and a large number of powerful Hollywood stars.

Although "Titanic" is the opening film, it is a pure screening film and does not compete for any awards at the Venice Film Festival, so many big names who came to participate in the competition also threw away their estimates to come to the show, such as the Weinstein brothers.

After a few chats with Harvey Weinstein and a few more guests, the clock was fast approaching seven.

Eric entered the screening room, and Cameron took Leonardo and other creators to the stage to give a brief speech, and the screening of the film officially began.

The lights in the screening room dimmed, and Eric set his eyes on the big screen, and Cameron quickly turned out of the backstage and sat down next to him.

After all, it was the first public appearance of "Titanic", and although it had been quite relaxed on the surface, Eric still noticed the details of Cameron holding the armrest tightly.

"Hey, Jim, relax, I'm sure you're going to love this movie. ”

"Hopefully," Cameron muttered in a low voice, then turned to look at Eric, raised his voice, and said, "Anyway, Eric, thank you." ”

Eric nodded slightly, didn't say anything, just patted Cameron on the shoulder.

In the screening room, as the images on the big screen lit up, the attention of the 300 invited guests, journalists and fans was firmly locked on the big screen, and everyone wanted to see what this unprecedented $215 million super blockbuster was like.

However, the opening plot of the deep-sea treasure hunt disappointed most people.

It seems that there is nothing special about it.

This slightly disappointed mood was maintained until the appearance of the elderly Rose, and the memory picture unfolded, when the Titanic's giant figure appeared on the British harbor dock, and the young Rose played by Rachel Weisz made a stunning appearance, the audience's disappointment was slightly alleviated, and insiders who are familiar with the movie shooting process sighed in their hearts. However, they inevitably underestimate: is it really necessary?

……
