Chapter 324: It's Cameron
After reaching an agreement with the president of Disney Cinemas and AMC Cinemas, Lin Ziyi made a phone call to Xu Nan.
She only said two words: "That's it." ”
Xu Nan smiled: "That's good, by the way, there won't be a problem with the name of the movie, right?" ”
Lin Ziyi smiled: "It's very simple, you just wait." ”
Theoretically, Cameron has registered the name "Titanic 2", and other movies cannot be used.
It's okay to be similar, but it's not okay to be exactly the same.
But theory is theory, and in fact it is possible.
The process of registering the name of the movie is operated by people, and as long as it is a person, there will be mistakes.
For example, a staff member made a mistake in his busy schedule because he was too busy, and he didn't notice that there was already a movie called "Titanic 2", and he repeatedly registered an identical movie name for Xu Nan.
Makes sense, right?
People make mistakes.
Of course, this is a very reasonable mistake, and it will definitely not be possible to let Xu Nan operate it, only the three major theaters can have the energy to do it.
The three major theaters are the overlords of the entertainment industry in the United States, and when they make up their minds to do something, the energy is terrifying.
They not only registered the name "Titanic 2" for Xu Nan, but also kept it strictly secret and did not let Cameron know.
Concealing the world, the initial success.
After determining that the name of his movie was "Titanic 2", Xu Nan also started to operate.
In order to make the audience unable to distinguish between the real and fake movies, thinking that the movie he watched was made by Cameron, he deliberately removed the logo of the movie, as well as the cast and crew list.
Of course, Xu Nan will not deceive the audience, he kept the rolling subtitles after the end of the movie, but deliberately blurred the picture so that the audience could not see it clearly.
Xu Nan will not do this kind of thing to deceive the audience, and he will never do this kind of thing without professional ethics.
At best, it is misleading.
And when the audience asked, he could also explain, I didn't lie to you, you watched the wrong movie.
What, no logo and intro credits?
I like to do that, you can manage it, and you don't break the law.
Finally, I edited the movie, and after confirming that there was no problem, I copied the copy of the movie file and waited for the theater to play.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
On the other hand, the box office sharing negotiations between the theater chain and Cameron, which have been deadlocked for a long time and attracted the attention of industry insiders and many outsiders, have finally come to an end.
Cameron got his wish, used his fame, and successfully forced the theater chain to agree to his conditions.
For the first time ever, the three major theater chains agreed to a 50% box office sharing plan, for the first time in history.
Those small cinemas that were still insisting on it, when they saw that even the three major cinema chains agreed, they had no choice but to agree to Cameron's sharing plan.
After the news spread, insiders, especially the director, were all boiling.
"What, the theater chain agreed to Cameron's share plan?"
"Oh my God, Cameron is too strong, the theater chain naturally occupies an advantageous position in the face of the director, and it is incredible that he can make the theater concession."
"I always thought that Cameron's 50% box office share plan was too exaggerated, and it was absolutely impossible for the theater chain to agree, but I didn't expect them to be willing to give in."
"It's Cameron, it's too strong."
"Sure enough, he is the king of the world, and he can actually make a strong theater chain give in, which is unprecedented."
"You have overlooked an important point, this movie is a sequel to the Titanic, the rampaging ship set a box office record, and this record is still held until now, I think that if it weren't for the sequel to "Titanic", it would be impossible for the theater chain to give in."
"Yes, Cameron is very strong, but if it weren't for the sequel to "Titanic", the theater would not have been able to make such an exaggerated concession."
"Don't forget, "Titanic" was originally Cameron's work, and the halo should have been added to him, in the final analysis, Cameron was too strong."
"I can only say that I deserve to be the god of cards and the king of the world."
"Maybe this will become a landmark event, and other directors can learn from Cameron in the future and talk to the theater chain about the conditions."
"Yes, Cameron gave us directors a great start, and we all have to thank him."
In the United States, directors have been suppressed by theaters for a long time, and they have been dissatisfied with this suppression for a long time.
Now Cameron has successfully forced the theater chain to make concessions, so that many directors can see the dawn of confrontation with the theater chain.
Cameron was able to make the theater chain give in, which is simply too strong, and many directors regard Cameron as an idol.
In the circle, Cameron's status has soared, and his popularity has also increased.
Cameron was happy and proud to learn that the theater chain had agreed to his terms.
"I've said a long time ago that the theaters will definitely give in, because this is my Cameron movie, the sequel to Big Ship."
Cameron said happily to his assistant.
The assistant wasn't as excited as Cameron, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Some time ago, because Cameron stabbed the matter of negotiating with the theater chain on the Internet, the audience began to attack the theater chain, which caused the theater chain to be very angry.
At that time, the negotiations on box office sharing were at an impasse for a while, and the attitude of the theater chain became more and more tough.
The assistant had a feeling at the time that if Cameron didn't give in, the theater chain was likely to be tough to the end and refused to release "Titanic 2".
However, in just a few days, the attitude of the theater chain has changed 180 degrees, and it did not hesitate to agree to Cameron's harsh conditions, and did not even mention any superfluous conditions.
The reversal was so abrupt that it made her feel strange.
"Director Cameron, the theater was still very tough before, but now that he suddenly agreed so quickly, will there be any problems inside, and they shouldn't do anything." The assistant cautiously reminded.
Cameron smiled: "What can be the problem, the lawyer has already reviewed the contract and there are no problems." ”
"As for the suddenness of the concession, it is actually quite reasonable."
"Because it's me, the theater chain will definitely give in."
Cameron's attitude is arrogant and arrogant.
But that's actually quite normal.
Since the success of "Titanic", Cameron has received praise and praise wherever he goes.
Immersed in such an environment for a long time, it is easy for people to become proud and arrogant.
Just like the emperors in history, because they couldn't hear the truth for a long time, they gradually became arbitrary tyrants.
Cameron is like this, he has been touted for a long time, so that he can't listen to other people's opinions, and he never thinks about the possibility that the theater will pit him.
Seeing Cameron like this, the assistant wisely shut up.
Cameron said all that, and she continued to raise objections, which was a bit of a misunderstanding.
And the contracts are all signed, there should be no problem.
The successful negotiation of box office sharing means that for Cameron, the movie can be scheduled and ready to be released.
He chose the best schedule and got the news out.
The internet was boiling in an instant.
"Really, "Titanic 2" is about to be released?"
"In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years since the release of the big ship that year, and I can finally see the sequel to "Titanic".
"When I watched "Titanic", I was still in middle school, and in my memory, the picture of Jack and Ruth standing on the bow of the Titanic, facing the sea with open arms, is an eternal memory in my heart."
"I have watched the movie "Titanic" more than a dozen times, but I don't get tired of watching it at all, every time I watch it, I feel very good, especially the scene where the Titanic sank, Ruth was lying on the bed, and Jack stood in the icy Atlantic, so that Ruth must live, I was moved every time, and then cried."
"What I remember most is the image of the elderly Ruth sinking the heart of the ocean into the sea, which I thought was a pity, it was a unique gem in the world, and it also witnessed the beautiful love between Jack and Ruth."
"Their love is really touching, and in the final moments, Jack gave Ruth hope for life, but he himself died in the icy Atlantic, and almost no one in real life can do it."
"I've seen many movies, but none of them have been as deeply shocking to me as a big ship, and I'm looking forward to Titanic 2."
"Ahhh
"I believe that Cameron, who is back after more than ten years, will not disappoint me."
"I'm going to take my girlfriend to see it, as long as it's a Cameron movie, I definitely won't miss it."
"Hurry up, I can't wait."
Netizens are looking forward to it, whether it is directed by Cameron or the sequel to "Titanic", it is very exciting, and the two are superimposed, which makes them look forward to it.
In a short period of time, the news of the upcoming release of "Titanic 2" occupied the top spot on Twitter's hot list, and this hot search was not bought by Cameron, but spontaneously topped by netizens, so you can imagine how popular this movie has not yet been released.
In addition to the news of "Titanic 2", "Titanic" also appeared on the hot search in the follow-up, which caused a lot of discussion.
The influence of the rampaging ship back then was too great, and it left an extremely deep impression on many people.
As soon as I heard that Titanic was going to be released, long-lost memories quickly surfaced in many people's minds, making people nostalgic.
A film critic named Charles even posted a long article nostalgic for the movie "Titanic" released more than ten years ago, and at the same time expressed his expectations for the upcoming movie "Titanic 2".
"The eternal Titanic, a brand new journey."
