Chapter 263: Verbal Battle

Just when Ryan and Natalie were hiding in the villa, enjoying the sweetness that belonged to them, the media outside almost exploded, you know, since the birth of Hollywood, there has never been a movie that has exceeded $100 million at the box office in the first week in North America.

The last film that came closest to that number was "Jurassic Park", and that was also Ryan? Jenkins's work, as most people expected at the beginning, the first film to break 100 million at the box office in the first week really appeared in his hands.

"This is an unprecedented record, will the world film industry remember Titanic, will it remember Ryan? Jenkins and James? Cameron, the film has achieved a breakthrough at the box office in its first week, so will its next goal be the North American box office record and the global box office record? ”

"Titanic can be called a big can that gathers all the vulgar episodes of Hollywood, Ryan? Jenkins, a brilliant processor, fused this can into a rare delicacy, and it was a feast that earned countless tears and money without hindering its greatness! ”

"The Titanic never sinks! Someone called Ryan? Jenkins and James? Cameron is the biggest Hollywood has ever seen, and it was these two fools who set a new first-week box office record in North America. ”

Regardless of the previous position, after the box office came out in the first week, the vast majority of the media highly praised the film, for the simple reason that the film was so hot that too many viewers liked it, and sending out reviews that matched their hearts would definitely boost the sales of the newspaper.

After all. They can't get along with anything, they won't get along with money, not to mention, Ryan's PR team has never relaxed their work.

Some television stations, including NBC, have also taken to street theaters, randomly interviewing passers-by and moviegoers to find out from them the public's truest opinions.

"Titanic is a great masterpiece, the best movie I've ever seen." A significant proportion of those who hold such an opinion are in the background.

"It's the best movie I've ever seen in my life!" There are also many people who say this.

"What? How about the movie? How many times have you watched it? Here's what the audience in line at the theater said, "I watched it twice last week and I'm going to watch it twice this week!" ”

"As far as I know. The movie hasn't been released for a full week yet. Someone has already seen it ten times! ”

After entering the second week, "Titanic" is still riding the wind and waves, without touching the trend of the iceberg, and the queue in front of the major theaters is getting longer and longer. Related topics are also getting hotter. Some well-concocted articles. began to appear in the public eye.

"The deepest love is that after separation, I live like you. This phrase is used to describe the love between Ruth and Jack. Couldn't be more appropriate. "Titanic" shows us a different view of love from Romeo and Juliet - live for love! Jack did his best to save Ruth, and he was selfless and fearless. Ruth lived bravely for the sake of commitment, the same selflessness and fearlessness! Some love, the table xiàn is not afraid of death, and some love, the table xiàn is strong life. Because of love, Jack chose to die; Similarly, because of love, Ruth chose to live. But Ruth's birth is a rebirth! ”

For this film, Vanity Fair deliberately issued a supplement, which spoke highly of Jack and Ruth's love, but the New York Post, which belongs to News Corp., expressed diametrically opposed opinions.

"After watching "Titanic" several times, in addition to being shocked by the terrifying special effects, the biggest feeling is the story between a woman and a liar."

"Jack has nothing, the origin of the ticket is enough to show what kind of life he used to live, as for his paintings, I don't know, anyway, they won't be much better, at least far worse than Monet and Picasso in Ruth's collection. Therefore, there should be no doubt that he seduced Ruth with a method that girls like very much, this Jack will do nothing but blow a new sky full of freedom and illusion to girls! ”

"Besides, Ruth, this woman has only known Jack for a day or two, stripped naked in front of him, and then got involved with each other regardless of the constraints of the marriage contract, even if this style is placed today, we will scoff at it."

"So, between Jack and Ruth, it should be a great one-night stand rather than a great love!"

The New York Post article has always been shocking, and this time is no different, but the influence of the movie is too great, and there are too many fans of Jack and Ruth, and after this issue of the newspaper came out, the newspaper ran into a lot of trouble, and hundreds of fans gathered in front of the editorial department to protest.

Fortunately, this is purely an analysis of the plot of the movie, and does not involve social reality, and the New York Post is often protested by people, and it is not very relaxed.

It's like there's a tacit understanding, and after refuting the concept of movie love today, media outlets such as "Vanity Fair" and "Los Angeles Times" will look for new arguments to refute it, while News Corp's media have shown a rare 'unity' and continue to launch a counteroffensive, and the two sides have fought a war of words in the air.

This kind of media talk is the most popular among the public, who are so happy to watch it that many people can't help but think about it every time the media mentions new ideas and analysis, and finally choose to buy tickets to watch it again.

That's the beauty of Ryan's team's PR, and it's the usual way to get promoted, even if someone sees something, because the movie is good enough.

"You're manipulating you behind your back, aren't you?" Natalie was flipping through the newspapers of the last few days.

"So to speak." Ryan wrapped one hand around Natalie's waist and lightly imprinted it on the girl's face, "Pat and the PR team did a great job this time!" ”

Maybe a little insatiable, Ryan didn't want to leave so early, he had been here for two days, anyway, the crew's next stop was the Big Apple, and he didn't bother to go back to Pittsburgh.

Natalie is naturally happy that Ryan Ken has put down his work to accompany her, even though the mobile phone that has been ringing continuously for the past two days is very annoying, but the sweetness in her heart still overwhelms the others.

"Ryan, will you move to New York?" With Natalie's character, being able to say such things is enough to witness where her feelings lie.

"Nat, don't forget, I'm still a USC student." Ryan found a reason in an instant.

Natalie pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, Ryan sighed in his heart, greed was destined to bring a lot of trouble, "I'll be coming to New York often, Nat." ”

It looks like I'm going to prepare an apartment in New York...... Well, it's better to buy a business jet so that it's easy to come and go. Ryan pinched his chin and made a decision in an instant, took his handbag, walked to the window and dialed it.

"Observing the Titanic column, do you want to hear what they say?"

As Ryan walked back to the couch after the call, Natalie held up a copy of The New Englander to him.

"Are those guys willing to give in? Or do you still shout after hitting yourself in the mouth? Ryan gave a look of disdain.

Natalie shrugged her shoulders, and when Ryan sat down beside her, she read aloud, "The box office of "Titanic" in the first week is really amazing, but don't forget, the movie has an investment of up to $300 million, including promotional expenses! As we all know, after the first week of the commercial blockbuster, the box office will inevitably drop sharply, and judging from the movie's extremely bad storyline, the decline in the second week is likely to exceed 50%! In short, the film has a hard time recovering its costs......"

This is really against for the sake of opposition, even if Natalie knows nothing about the commercial development of movies and the operation of theaters, she knows that this situation will never happen, not to mention anything else, go and see the long queues outside the major movie theaters and the number of theaters that have increased to 4,000!

However, the writer of the next newspaper column, although she did not like it, even hated it, had a very appetizing opinion.

Glancing at Ryan and seeing that he didn't say anything, Natalie continued reading.

"There are two recognized liars in this world, one is fame, the other is profit, and there is also an important liar - the trend! There is no doubt that "Titanic" led the way this summer, but such a masterpiece is often a complete failure in art, a completely vulgarized Ryan? Jenkins' commercial film for money and profit! ”

"Such a movie can occupy the box office and sweep the summer file, not by virtue of the artistic achievements that we are proud of, but the stimulation of the senses, the stimulation of the eyeballs, and the stimulation of the endocrine."

"Our society can't always be so vulgar, and there will always be a day when people need to move the nerve-numbing noble art, even if it is completely vulgarized Ryan? Jenkins can occupy the box office now, and will definitely be abandoned by the audience in the near future! ”

"Erian? The filmmakers represented by Jenkins have forgotten the original function and mission of film, and they are increasingly turning their backs on the definition of film itself, and more and more of them are keeping movies away from real life......"

Natalie suddenly couldn't read anymore, there was some truth in the front, and what was written in the back was too outrageous.

"What was the purpose of the original birth of the film?" Ryan shook his head and asked, "Is this that Gary?" Granham's article? ”

"Uh-huh~" Natalie shrugged.

"Ignorance!"

Ryan is very disdainful, what was the original function and mission of the movie? Entertainment, of course! At such a level, you are embarrassed to come out and fight?

As for the "New Englander", the skin is definitely thicker than himself, and the North American people have seen the "Observing Titanic" column as a collection of jokes.

Other commercial films may have a big drop in the second week, but "Titanic" is definitely the exception of the exception!

"Nat, it's almost time, it's time for me to go."

Ryan looked at his watch and couldn't continue to drag it out, otherwise even if he was the producer, it would be difficult to explain it to the entire crew. (To be continued......)
