The director's life is not as easy and beautiful as many people think.

After the completion of "Shutter Island", Xiansen rushed to Los Angeles non-stop, and it took more than three hours to fly from Massachusetts to Los Angeles.

During the filming of "Shutter Island" for more than two months, the "Million Musicians" campaign also ended successfully, and Columbia received a total of more than 3,000 music works from all over the United States and the world, and finally selected ten award-winning composers through layers of selection, each of these composers received a reward of 100,000 US dollars, of course, this money is included in the film promotion costs.

For Xiansen, this million is worth it, in addition to playing a part of the publicity role, he also selected a few tunes with melodies that meet the needs of the movie, including one "Dieintheheart" (Die in the Heart) is even more obsessive to Xiansen, this is what he needs, no matter how much it costs, he has to buy the copyright of this song.

After waiting for a while, Xiansen received not very good news, that is, Gustavo Santonara, the composer of "Dieintheheart", was not willing to sell the rights to the song, and it is worth mentioning that Gustavo is an Argentine and is still in China.

When he got such news, Xiansen was very disappointed, but he did not give up, but asked Cook to send someone to Argentina to bring Gustavo to the United States, no matter what method was used, and said that he would personally go and talk to this Argentine, maybe moved by Xiansen's sincerity, maybe infected by Xiansen's unyielding momentum if he did not achieve his goal, Cook really invited Gustavo to Los Angeles.

The main reason why Xiansen returned to Los Angeles early was for this.

For a successful movie, post-production accounts for a very important proportion, especially for such a high-IQ suspense thriller, the editing of post-production shots and the selection of music need to be done very exquisitely, according to Xiansen's requirements, it is to be able to better set off the atmosphere and drive the sense of rhythm without destroying the plot, and the only song that meets this requirement at present is "Dieintheheart" in his eyes.

In order to meet Gustavo earlier, as soon as the crew disbanded, Xiansen went to the airport and handed over all the follow-up work to Bella Marceau.

Bella Marceau majored in socioeconomics at Stanford University, so she knows the relationship between demand and supply very well, and after Xiansen returned to Los Angeles early, she asked Brent to take a few stills, and there is only one person in these stills, that is, Leonardo, in order to match the style of the movie "Shutter Island", these stills were taken in dark conditions, and Leonardo in the photo also gives people a sense of maturity and decadence.

Leonardo is arguably the most popular actor in the movie, so Bella Marceau sent all these stills to Cook and asked him to post them on Colombia's official website as soon as possible.

Many times Columbia takes good care of Xiansen, mainly because "50 First Loves" has brought them a profit of nearly 100 million US dollars, so for this kind of potential financier, the senior management of Columbia is also happy to promote it, anyway, this is a win-win thing.

After receiving the past stills from Bella Marceau, the homepage of Columbia's official website was all changed to news related to "Shutter Island" on the same day, although the schedule of the film has not yet been set, and the promotion has already begun.

Mister's second film? A high-IQ suspense film? Leonardo partnering Jodie Foster? Either one can arouse the curiosity of movie fans.

Will the young oriental director continue to create miracles, or will he suffer a tragic Waterloo? A lot of people have their own opinions on this.

The overseas release of "50 First Loves" has basically ended at this time, perhaps because the director of the film is an oriental face, or perhaps because of the role of Leonardo's popularity, this romance film has swept cinemas around the world, among which the Asian region is the most prominent. In South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Honto, it is difficult to find a ticket. Even the nationality of director Mister has appeared in several versions. Because the movie did not pass the inspection of the State Administration of Radio, Television and Film, "50 First Loves" unfortunately was not released in China.

The overseas box office has earned a total of more than 130 million US dollars, plus more than 140 million in North America, and the total global box office of "50 First Love", which has a production cost of only 2 million, has reached more than 270 million! Such a box office may still be far behind many blockbusters that cost more than a billion yuan, but compared with the production cost of this film, Xiansen and Columbia Company have been dubbed gold suckers and vampires by the media.

Some media even joked that the 73rd Academy Awards held this year should add a best money-making award for "50 First Loves" to encourage the enthusiasm of many small-budget film creators.

When he saw this news, Xiansen couldn't help but be happy, not to mention the increase, "50 First Loves" didn't even have a nomination for an award, and even the organizers of this year's Oscars didn't even give him an invitation, to put it simply, "50 First Loves" has nothing to do with the 73rd Academy Awards, and people won't take you to play at all

This makes Xiansen very understandable how Leonardo feels when he always says that Oscar is shit.

In addition to these joking remarks, major media newspapers and magazines have also given a final summary of the global painting of "50 First Loves", most of which are not positive praise of Xiansen, but are more subtle, but can be seen at a glance.

Like what the Washington Post wrote: "Who is the happiest actor in the world?" If you were to ask me that, I would definitely give an answer – Leonardo DiCaprio. From Jack in "Titanic" to Henry in "50 First Loves", Leonardo's charm makes every woman feel excited. This year, the all-American surname is the most wanted person to have a one-night stand, and I can guarantee that Leonardo will definitely be in first place. can make Leonardo so popular, in addition to the actor's own reasons, I have to mention the role played by the two directors. James Cameron, a Canadian director who is a mechanic mechanic and truck driver, and Mister Sen, a Chinese director who is a graduate of Arcadia University and a theater boy, have used their wisdom to create two classic romance films, and these two romance films have made an actor. Lucky Leonardo, the young man is now missing only one Oscar. ”

Although the media summary has brought more attention and topics to Xiansen, most film critics have given a bad attitude towards "Shutter Island", and on the official website of Columbia, some fans and fans have also expressed their concerns, especially after seeing Leonardo's stills, many people even bluntly said that Leonardo's appearance is too handsome, and they are afraid that they will watch the movie to watch Leonardo and forget to think about the plot. So to conclude that Leonardo doesn't seem to be a good fit for a thriller.

Unbeknownst to these lovely messages, Xiansen was sitting on a plane, thinking about how to talk to Gustavo when he arrived in Los Angeles.

"Rachel, how do you say to change a man's mind?"

Glancing at Rachel, who was lying in the seat next to him, Xiansen asked in a low voice.

"Change a man's mind?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Rachel smiled and replied, "Just give him a kiss!"
