Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 432 Dark clouds cover the sun

Sure enough, in the subsequent movies, although the Heart of the Ocean only appeared once or twice, its eye-catching degree was on a higher level than before.

Charlize knew that this should be the result of Charlotte's previous substitution in the wall-painted world.

However, this is not the point after all.

There were no ghosts causing trouble, and the girl's attention was still focused on the movie itself.

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

"No wonder you always said before that "Hell Detective" might not win the North American box office championship this year, and "Titanic" might surpass it——"

Charlize whispered in Charlotte's ear,

"Now I understand what you mean - it seems that Cameron's insistence on being meticulous about this movie, even if he didn't hesitate to delay the production and raise the cost, still makes sense."

"yes!"

Charlotte nodded.

However, the two soon stopped talking.

On the big screen, the Titanic had sunk. Watching Jack soaking in the sea water, saying his final farewell to Rose and telling her to live well, the theater was filled with mourning.

Many people with well-developed lacrimal glands shed tears.

Although Charlize usually has a bit of a tomboyish attitude - especially when drunk - this time, she also moistened the corners of her eyes.

"Give!"

Looking at the tissue handed over by Charlotte, the girl was in a daze.

——Charlotte was naturally prepared.

Having watched this movie in his previous life, he naturally knew the nickname of this movie "Tear Jerker".

——It can be said that once Cameron, the industrialist party and a real man, starts to mess around, most people really can't beat him.

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

*********

"Great movie! It's bound to be a success!"

After the screening, Charlotte congratulated Cameron.

Charlize, whose eyes were still a little red, nodded.

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

"It's actually quite 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 that it can no longer be easily recouped by simply becoming a hit at the premiere - its box office curve needs to be more durable and more beautiful."

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

Charlize asked,

"Do you think he will perform miracles?"

"It's very possible."

Charlotte sounded prophetic.

**********

It should be said that as a time traveler, it is easy for Charlotte to cosplay as a prophet.

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

As an original film, although its box office in its opening week was not low, it was not particularly high either.

However, less than halfway through the second week, its counter-increasing box office curve shocked a lot of eyeballs.

At this time, everyone realized that Cameron might create another miracle after "Terminator 2".

In the media, favorable reviews of the film gradually began to appear...

However, after all, it was not a movie that Charlotte shot personally, and his attention to it was still limited.

After taking back the Heart of the Ocean with magic bonus from the wall painting world, Charlotte no longer cares whether James Cameron becomes the king of the world or whether he is tied to a cement pillar by Fox executives due to box office failure. The sea is gone.

At this time, his attention has been put on his movie——

"Silver Linings Playbook", which has completed post-production, will be screened on December 30.

——The reason why I chose this day is, ultimately, because it is a romantic comedy.

And it also has the goal of hitting the Oscars.

Since it is a film for the Olympics, it is naturally most advantageous to release it at the end of the year.

——The judges of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are generally quite old. If the movie is released closer to the Oscar voting time, it will be easier for the other party to remember it!

As a heroine, Charlize agrees with this point, but she is a little worried——

“Silver Linings Playbook is released so close to Titanic, will the box office be severely impacted?”

"This possibility does exist."

Charlotte nodded,

"However, in order to qualify for next year's Oscars, we can only release it now. What's more, we only use the method of screening in one or two theaters. By the time the film's reputation is fermented, I'm afraid "Titanic" has already passed its popularity. It’s time for the highest.”

"Yeah?"

Charlize didn't quite believe it, but Charlotte looked confident.

"Believe me, I thought about this - in fact, I developed a special promotion strategy after handing over the distribution rights to Warner Bros."

"Special publicity strategy?"

“You’ll find out on premiere day!”

Charlotte blinked mysteriously...

***********

"What a special publicity strategy!"

On the day of the premiere, Charlize was speechless when looking at the promotional poster for "Silver Linings Playbook".

"Are you just borrowing the inspiration from "Titanic"?"

——On the promotional poster, it clearly says, "After watching the fairy tale love tragedy, do you want to watch a happy love story?"

"this is nothing!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"I've told Cameron and Fox in advance that they won't care - in the final analysis, we are not actually competing for the market with that "big ship", but are filling in the gaps they do not have coverage in a targeted manner. market.”

"Is there still such a thing?"

Charlize was stunned.

Charlotte explained,

"Many cases in the past have shown that as long as low-cost films are of excellent quality and have good market positioning and publicity strategies, they can coexist with large-scale commercial productions——"

"It's the same this time. Think about it, after watching the love tragedy of "Titanic", you will certainly be very moved, but do you want to recuperate and watch a relaxing love story to relieve your pain? ?”

"this……"

Charlize pondered for a while,

"It seems to be quite a bit!"

"That's right!"

Charlotte smiled and said,

“This is our publicity strategy and market positioning!”

"I see!"

Charlize nodded, she already understood what Charlotte meant,

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

"I don't know about this."

Charlotte shrugged.

"The market is unpredictable. After doing what we need to do, we can only leave it to fate."

"However, one of our goals in filming "Silver Linings Playbook" is for the Oscars, which means that we don't have to worry too much about box office results. In addition, the cost of the movie itself is very low——"

Speaking of this, Charlotte listed them one by one,

"Sally, you didn't ask for a high salary. As the leading actor, I am a guest star, and many other roles are also guest stars, or the actors hired are very cheap - the total cost of all the costs is just over six million US dollars."

"We can actually afford such a cost."

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