Chapter 432: Dark Clouds Cover the Sun

Sure enough, in the later movies, although Heart of the Ocean only appeared once or twice, its eye-catching degree was a step up from the previous one.

Charlize knew that this was the result of Charlotte's previous replacement in the wallworld.

But that's not the point.

There are no ghosts to play tricks, and the girl's attention is still on the movie itself.

After all, the grand and realistic shipwreck scene is not something that ordinary directors can film.

"No wonder you always said that "Detective Hell" may not be able to win this year's North American box office champion, and "Titanic" may surpass it-"

Charlize whispered in Charlotte's ear,

"Now I understand what you mean - it seems that it still makes sense for Cameron to insist on meticulous work on this film before, and he did not hesitate to skip tickets and raise the cost. ”

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded.

However, the two soon stopped talking.

On the big screen, the Titanic has sunk, watching Jack soaking in the sea, saying his final goodbye to Ruth, and telling her to live well, the screening room is full of mourning.

Many people with developed tear glands have left tears.

And Charlize, although she usually has a bit of a woman's style - especially when she is drunk - this time, she also moistened the corners of her eyes.

"Give!"

Looking at the tissues handed over by Charlotte, the girl was a little stunned.

- Charlotte was naturally prepared.

He watched this movie in his previous life, so he naturally knew the nickname of "tear gas" in this movie.

- It can be said that once the Industrial Party and the real man Cameron start playing with dog blood, ordinary people really can't play him.

In short, Charlotte, who had long expected that his girlfriend would be hit by tear gas, was fully prepared before coming to the premiere......

"Great movie!

After the screening, Charlotte congratulated Cameron.

Charlize, who was still a little red with eye circles on one side, also nodded.

Cameron was not excited by Charlotte's congratulations, he responded politely to Charlotte's words, but his expression was indifferent.

"It's actually normal for him to be so calm. ”

On the way back to the hotel, Charlotte explained to Charlize,

After all, the production cost of "Titanic" is so high, it is no longer easy to recover by simply premiering and becoming popular - its box office curve needs to be more durable and beautiful. ”

"So, Cameron still needs to wait for the final result, right?"

Charlize asked,

"Do you think he's going to do miracles?"

"The possibilities are high. ”

Charlotte spoke of a prophet.

It should be said that as a traverser, it is still easy for Charlotte to want cos prophets.

At least, the box office trend after the release of "Titanic" has indeed created a miracle -

As an original film, the box office of its opening week, although not low, is not particularly high.

However, less than half of the second week, its inverse box office curve exploded a lot of eyeballs.

At this time, everyone realized that Cameron may be about to create a miracle after "Terminator 2".

In the media, film reviews that are optimistic about it have gradually begun to appear......

However, it was not Charlotte's own film after all, and his attention to it was limited.

After recovering the Heart of the Ocean from the walled world, Charlotte doesn't care if James Cameron becomes the king of the world, or because of the box office failure, he is tied to a cement pillar by Fox executives and sinks into the sea.

At this time, his attention has been placed on his own movie-

"The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", which has completed post-production, will be screened from December 30.

- The reason why I chose this date, in the final analysis, is because this is a romantic comedy, and it also has the goal of hitting the Oscars.

Since it is an Olympic film, it is naturally the most advantageous to release it at the end of the year.

- The judges of the Academy of Film Science and Arts are generally not young, so it is easier to make the other party remember the release time of the film closer to the time of the Oscar voting!

Charlize, as the heroine, agrees with this, but she is a little worried-

"The release time of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" is so close to "Titanic", will the box office be hit very hard?"

"It's a real possibility. ”

Charlotte nodded,

However, in order to be able to apply for next year's Oscars, it can only be released now. What's more, we only use the method of screening in one or two theaters, and when the word-of-mouth of the movie ferments, I am afraid that "Titanic" has passed the time when it is at its most popular. ”

"Really?"

Charlize didn't believe it, but Charlotte was confident,

"Believe me, I've thought about that – in fact, after handing over the distribution rights to Warners, I also developed a special promotional strategy. ”

"A special propaganda strategy?"

"You'll know on the day of the premiere!"

Charlotte pretended to blink mysteriously......

"What a special propaganda strategy!"

On the day of the premiere, looking at the promotional poster of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", Charlize was speechless for a while,

"You're basically borrowing the east wind of "Titanic", right?"

- On the promotional poster, it is written "After watching the fairytale love tragedy, do you want to come to see a happy love story?"

"It's nothing!"

Charlotte shrugged,

"I've already said hello to Cameron and Fox in advance, and they won't care – at the end of the day, we're not really competing with the big ship, we're filling in the market they don't cover. ”

"And that kind of statement?"

Charlize was dumbfounded.

Charlotte explained,

"Many cases in the past have shown that as long as the quality of small-budget films is excellent, and then do a good job in market positioning and publicity strategies, they can coexist with commercial large-scale productionsβ€”β€”"

"It's the same this time, think about it, when you watch the love tragedy of "Titanic", you will be very moved, but do you want to get back to the blood and watch a relaxing love story to alleviate it?"

"This ......"

Charlize groaned for a moment,

"Seems like it's a bit of a thing!"

"That's right!"

Charlotte said with a smile,

"That's our promotional strategy and market positioning!"

"I see!"

Charlize nodded, she already understood what Charlotte meant,

"It sounds reasonable, but is it really possible?"

"I don't know. ”

Charlotte shrugged,

"The market is unpredictable, and once we do what we need to do, we have to resign ourselves to fate. ”

"However, one of the purposes of filming "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" is for the Oscars, which means that we don't have to worry too much about the box office results. Plus the film itself is very low-"

Speaking of which, Charlotte enumerated them one by one,

"Sally, you don't ask for a high salary, my actor is a cameo, and many other roles are also cameos, or the actors hired are very cheap - all kinds of costs add up, it's just over six million dollars. ”

"We can afford to lose such a cost. ”

"Although, I don't think this movie will lose money. ”
