"It's a film with an extremely strong personal touch, although Ryan? Jenkins provided the idea and the idea, but "Changing Face" is a film that belongs to Wu, a director from the East who uses beautiful images and romantic duels to repackage violence to create a commercial film that is still brilliant. ”

"With its absurd setting, old-fashioned fight scenes and white doves flying, "Changing Face" is just a Hong Kong flavor under the Hollywood system, and Wu's style is too distinct and fixed, if it weren't for the excellent performances of the two actors, maybe this movie would have become Ryan? Jenkins' Waterloo. ”

"Wu, an oriental director who wants to conquer Hollywood with a flock of pigeons and 100 million bullets, will he succeed?"

After the release of "Changing Face" in North America, the media and film critics received mixed reviews, but no matter what, the white dove? Wu's style is still very marketable in North America, especially among young audiences, in a short period of time. Cage and John? Travolta's box office appeal still achieved good results in April, the traditional off-season for films.

With $33 million in the first week and $26 million in the second week, this box office result was enough to make "Changing Face" the top of the North American weekly box office chart for two consecutive weeks.

Ryan just paid a little attention and put it aside, and the rest of the publicity and marketing and overseas release work, Paramount Pictures will naturally run at full strength.

Frankly speaking, Ryan is still a little worried, the film is generally not a big problem to make money, but it seems to be a little difficult to recoup the cost in the North American market.

After instructing George to keep an eye on the box office of the movie at any time, Ryan's attention shifted to "Titanic", even if all the movies this year lose money, as long as the big ship comes out, his aura will only increase and not decrease.

The huge concert hall was empty. With the exception of the Los Angeles Philharmonic on stage, there were fewer than ten people seated in the front rows.

"Let's get started."

After Ryan nodded, James on the side of the stage? Horner gestured to the conductor on stage, and as the baton swung, the melodious music gradually sounded.

The Norwegian singer Sisel stood in front of the microphone and hummed a natural female voice, as soft and uninhibited as the wind in the hollow, and full of agility, in which the sadness of farewell and the feeling of being in a different world can remind people of the short but fiery love between Jack and Ruth.

"Perfect!"

After the curtain fell on the orthodox orchestral music combined with the rich sound of the Scottish bagpipes. Ryan had to sigh, worthy of James? Horner!

Even though Ryan copied "My Heart Is Eternal", but James? Horner uses the melody of the song as the centerpiece of the score, using an orchestral mix combined with Scottish bagpipes to create a distinctive mournful tune.

Especially. Like in his previous life, he invited Sisl from Norway. Enhance the infectious power of the soundtrack with her ethereal, subtle, wordless humming. A touching love legend is told with an emotional melody, which is neither as tragic and tragic as it was in the past; It is also different from some films that deliberately stand out from the crowd and pursue an anti-trend style, but subtly lay out the musical themes of joy, sadness and rebirth, and use it to tell people what is eternal in human emotions.

Ryan asked himself to have excellent musical qualities. There is also the experience of the previous life, and I believe that these soundtracks will still be like movies, and will become eternal classics.

"Outstanding!"

While the trucker with James? There are irreconcilable contradictions between Horner. But work is work, and the soundtrack made by the other party is really good.

"James, perfect soundtrack."

Waiting for James? Ryan gave him a thumbs up as Horner walked over.

"That's because of "My Heart Eternal" as the keynote." James? After a modest remark, Horner looked at James? Cameron, "Director Cameron, do I do to your satisfaction?" ”

"Well, I'll admit, no one does this job better than you." James? Cameron clearly doesn't want to put personal conflicts into his work.

Entering the end of April, along with the soundtrack got Ryan and James? With Cameron's approval, the production of "Titanic" has completely entered the final stage, in addition to the dubbing of individual clips and the addition of soundtrack letters, including special effects synthesis shots, etc., have been completed.

Among them, James is naturally indispensable? Cameron's complaints.

"Ryan, give me another $20 million, no, just $10 million, and I can make this movie even better!"

Out of the Los Angeles Music Hall, James? Cameron is still mentioning the investment to Ryan.

"So can you guarantee that the movie will be released at the scheduled time?" After knowing each other for so many years, Ryan knows this guy's temperament very well, "If I give you 20 million dollars, Jim, it won't be long before you say, 'If you give me another 30 million dollars, the Titanic will definitely be an immortal masterpiece'." ”

James? Cameron shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he also knew that his request was a bit excessive, frankly speaking, after entering Hollywood for so many years, a lot of movies have been filmed, but there are really not many partners like Ryan who are generous and fit his heart.

To be exact, this is the only one.

"Ryan, don't forget, there are still a few clips that you need to voice."

Before parting, James? Cameron specifically instructed, "By the way, don't forget to let Yahoo continue to build momentum on the Internet." ”

After entering 1997, the Internet was booming, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the rise of this new type of media was inevitable, especially after Ryan opened his personal website, the surge in traffic made Hollywood fully aware of the huge potential value of the Internet for the entertainment industry.

The crew of "Titanic" naturally will not ignore this propaganda position, and Ryan has Yahoo, a powerful network thug, who occupies a natural advantage in this regard.

In fact, since the Oscars, the promotion and marketing of "Titanic" has entered a sprint stage, and the major media are full of news and reports about it, as well as the media under the parent company of Twentieth Century Fox, which is trying its best to build momentum for the film.

Of course, News Corp's media still maintains its usual style, divided into pros and cons. Fighting in the air, maintaining enough heat on the topic.

Yahoo has placed several website links about the Titanic shipwreck that Ryan has set up in a prominent position on the homepage early on, and even released a special analysis column before and after the sinking of the Titanic.

In this column, for the first time, the detailed specifications and logbooks of the Titanic were announced, as well as the list of some of the victims, as well as some photos and newspaper content of the year, and at the same time, a large article was used to constantly remind that there would be a movie about the shipwreck to be released soon.

Back home, Ryan landed on his personal website. Since the establishment of this website, although he will go up from time to time to take a look, most of the time is taken care of by the specialized personnel of the broker team, after a long period of operation. This can be regarded as a concentration of Ryan fans.

Several stills from "Titanic" are hanging prominently on the site, most of them are him and Kate? Winslet's Dog Blood interactive poster. Those guys from the broker team. Very good at choosing, all of these stills are close-up from Ryan's front or side, not to mention the movie and acting skills, the handsome and resolute appearance alone is enough to attract countless girls into the theater.

"Is this the $250 million "Titanic", is it a love story?"

"Look at the poster should be. Ryan is so handsome, it's just so charming. ”

"No matter what the movie is, even if it's for Ryan, I'll go to the theater."

"Ryan is said to have no girlfriend yet. We still have a chance. ”

"Support Titanic, support Ryan!"

"The movie is still more than a month away, and we should prepare in advance."

"Ryan, we're a supporter in Los Angeles, and we've got ...... of the box office in the greater Los Angeles area."

"Can Ryan elaborate on your character......"

Needless to say, after the stills were hung up, the message board became a place for fans to graffiti, and they expressed their support for the film and their idols in various ways.

"These guys!"

Ryan shook his head, but he didn't care too much, at this time he was completely different from Xiao Li in his previous life, not only was he a member of the academy and a member of the Oscar judges, but he also had a huge influence in this circle, and he also deliberately brought in Miramax, a public relations weapon, coupled with the acting skills that have been recognized by the vast majority of people, it must not be completely sad.

Besides, in the next two years, Ryan plans to play all the roles that have been transformed, and this huge image change before and after, if nothing else, will bring huge praise, maybe it will impact the little golden man.

Now that he landed on the website, Ryan simply wrote something about the movie to catch the eye.

"Titanic tells a love story in a disaster, just like what happened back then, in which it will show the brilliance of humanity in shipwreck, in addition, there is James? Cameron's shipwreck footage, which took more than three years to build, was absolutely real and shocking, and when I went to try out the footage, I was shocked and couldn't close my mouth. ”

"Everyone knows that the Tyrant on the set is a pioneer of new cinematic technology, and this time he used unprecedented advanced technology and equipment......"

"As for my character, I am a painter full of romanticism, poor but optimistic...... Well, I can't go on, otherwise I'll be jointly claimed by the film company in the case of spoilers......"

There are all kinds of things, and Ryan wrote some tidbits and anecdotes about the filming on it, most of which are bloody incidents that the public likes to see, such as James? Cameron roared 300 decibels on the spot, such as Billy? Zane's pet lizard is crushed by a trailer, and more.

Of course, Ryan is not a fool, and what he writes is all harmless things, such as a pair of wild mandarin ducks that will always appear after sending duì, and will never be revealed to the public.

These information, which is often only circulated within the crew, not only attracted the attention of netizens, but also attracted the attention of some paper media. Jinsley, I want to reprint.

Ryan readily agreed, this was a good opportunity for free publicity, but what he didn't expect was that just when the media hyped up the topic of "Titanic" more and more, the voice of doubt jumped out again. (To be continued......)
