Chapter 430: Set Sail with You

At this time, it was already December 19, 1997.

After Cameron's fastidious post-production, "Titanic" was finally released.

Originally, because of the long post-production, the high cost had made the main creative team, including Cameron, lose confidence.

- After all, according to the current cost, this movie does not have a global box office of more than 800 million, and it is difficult to recover even the cost, let alone anything else.

Therefore, they once considered not being in the United States at all, but directly premiering in Japan, so as to temporarily avoid the poisonous tongue of North American audiences.

- Although this is nothing more than a cover-up.

But, because of Charlotte, things have changed again.

- Ready to speak, because of Patrick Jane, who is Charlotte's incarnation.

Because Patrick Jane once helped the crew of "Titanic" exorcise ghosts, and the prestige of the crew was turned into worship, even the stubborn industrial party Cameron had some trust in him.

So, when deciding on the time and place of the film's premiere, producer Jon Landau called to ask Patrick Jane for advice.

Although to a large extent, this is no different from having a child and looking for a master to choose a name, but when he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, and when he is generally looked down upon, Mr. Producer doesn't care if his idea is reliable.

- A bad idea is better than no idea, isn't it?

What's more, Patrick Jane or Charlotte gave a very reliable opinion-

"It would be best if the movie "Titanic" should premiere simultaneously in Britain and the United States! After all, the big ship set off from Britain to the United States back then. ”

Well, that statement sounds so plausible that Jon Landau can't argue with it at all.

Of course, as a "master", Patrick Jane, who is incarnated by Charlotte, is not without giving his professional advice-

"The undead encountered by the crew of "Titanic" before, although they were not powerful, were the dead on that big ship after all. ”

"They didn't reach their destination before they died, so can they get there after they died?"

"Having it released simultaneously in both the UK and the US is to a certain extent equivalent to letting them arrive – it helps them rest in peace. ”

It should be said that Patrick Jane's reasoning behind it is very convincing for Jon Landau.

After all, unlike Cameron, who has always been suspicious of Patrick, Mr. Producer believes in "Master Patrick".

At the same time, he was indeed afraid of the ghosts on the Titanic.

There's no way, before and after Patrick Jane's exorcism, the smoothness of the crew's filming is there-

Before the exorcism, it can be said that everything is not going well, the main creative members are constantly sick, the heroine Kate Winslet even got pneumonia because of soaking in the sea, coupled with a series of small accidents, Jon Landau doubts that they can successfully complete the movie;

After the exorcism, everyone in the crew became much healthier, and minor accidents no longer happened. Although Cameron as a director is still bored with nitpicking, the shooting speed is much faster after all.

In fact, if it weren't for the troublesome computer special effects production in the later stage, the release of "Titanic" would not have been delayed until now.

So, in Jon Landau's eyes, that exorcism was still very useful.

And Patrick Jane, Charlotte's incarnation, is also a true psychic master.

In that case, why not ask the master for guidance?

Anyway, because of the repeated cost hikes and the general disapproval of industry insiders, Jon Landau has completely lost confidence.

Now there was a glimmer of hope, even if it sounded completely unreliable, he would hold on to it, like a drowning man grasping at a floating straw......

In short, because of Charlotte or Patrick Jane's statement, "Titanic" became the simultaneous premiere of the United Kingdom and the United States.

Half of the film's main cast is in the UK and half in the US, each attending its premiere.

Because they happened to be in the UK recently, Charlotte and Charlize also received invitations.

Charlotte naturally didn't want to miss the premiere of this classic movie in film history, and Charlize was currently idle and bored, so she followed.

"However, there are so many people in the "Titanic" crew here in the UK!"

Charlotte sighed -

At the premiere in London, in addition to the heroine Kate Winslet, who is the head snake, there are many supporting roles in the film.

- This is normal, after all, in the movie, the Titanic was driven from Southampton, England to the United States, and there were naturally a large number of British actors in it.

- According to the unwritten rules of Hollywood, it is best to play the British Yankee, and it is also pure British.

But director James Cameron is also here, and there is also an anecdote when he is in the mood to make up the scene with himself, which makes Charlotte a little puzzled-

Actually, Leonardo really wanted to come to England too! ”

After the filming of "Titanic", Kate Winslet, who had never completely lost weight, said with a smile,

"The United States is scolding this film!"

"So, did you come to England to hide in the quiet?"

Charlotte somewhat understood.

"I'm British!"

Kate Winslet shrugged,

"Mr. Director is the one who really came to hide from Qingjing!"

“......”

Looking at Winslet's gloating eyes, Charlotte didn't know what to say for a while.

According to various gossip, he knew that Kate Winslet respected Cameron, but he didn't like him very much-

The news that "Ruth" no longer plans to cooperate with Cameron is not a secret in the circle.

In Charlotte's opinion, this is normal -

With Cameron's fastidious directing style, few actors can stand working with him repeatedly.

"I guess in addition to Linda Hamilton, who has lived with him for ten years, the future governor can stand him, right?"

Charlotte pondered in her heart.

However, this should not be a reason for Kate Winslet's attitude in front of Cameron!

You must know that as the heroine of "Titanic", Winslet is actually a member of this "big ship".

- "The ship sank", she is not like "Ruth" in the movie, and there is still the possibility of surviving.

The filming of "Titanic" has invested a lot, and if it fails at the box office, her Hollywood road will basically be ruined.

In this case, shouldn't she share the same hatred as Cameron?

Charlotte was a little confused.

However, after looking at James Cameron on the other side who looked indifferent, and then at the ashen crew members around her, Charlotte probably understood-

These guys, they can't be broken, right?

"What a desperate start!"

Charlotte sighed in her heart.

And with this atmosphere that can be said to be desperate and tragic, the premiere of "Titanic" began......
