Heads Up Hollywood

Everything was ready, and the oil tanker "Pendleton" finally came slowly.

For various reasons on the "Titanic" cruise ship, James Cameron failed to complete the filming as planned, but the "Penderton" tanker became the pinning of all his hopes.

On May 25th, the curtain officially opened!

During this period of time, "Pearl Harbor" has been very high-profile, from the main creators to the behind-the-scenes personnel, almost all of them have become targets of publicity. The top and bottom of the Disney production department are very determined, and they want to use this film to sweep away Disney's slump in the film market!

At the premiere of "Pearl Harbor", the house was full of guests, and Disney's connections were undoubtedly revealed at this time. And because of the remarkable publicity effect, many well-known film critics took the initiative to participate in the premiere ceremony, eager to see it quickly.

Compared with the high-profile of "Pearl Harbor", "Unsinkable" is too low-key.

Throughout the promotional period, "Unsinkable" was completely reduced to a foil for "Pearl Harbor".

In fact, this is quite normal. If Tang En didn't use his personal charm to promote "Unsinkable", relying solely on Universal Pictures' distribution capabilities, it would not be Disney's opponent at all.

Of course, it is not without effect.

At least in the early screenings, fans eager for tickets still formed a long line in the cinema.

It's just that compared to the gathering of stars over there, the premiere here looks a bit shabby.

"Is it really okay? Even Mr. Mayor went there."

In the lounge, James Cameron answered a phone call, and then his face became a little gloomy, and a bit of worry appeared on his originally flushed face.

Tang En smiled and said, "What's the problem? You don't think that Michael Bay's level can be compared with yours, right?"

Cameron shook his head and sighed, "If it was ten or twenty years ago, of course I wouldn't worry. But now the times are changing too fast, and the role of movie promotion is becoming more and more obvious."

Tang En said lightly: "Of course the importance of publicity is getting stronger and stronger, but the premise is the correct publicity strategy! "Pearl Harbor" is compared with "Titanic" everywhere, and it is on the road to death."

Cameron glanced at the time, stood up, "I hope!"

Tang En smiled, and said confidently: "On a big ship, we worked together to create a miracle, James, this time on a big ship, we can still write a legend!"

Cameron looked back at him and smiled, "Tang En, you are always so positive and sunny. Let's go, it's about to start, let's meet the guests."

...

Accompanied by Liv Tyler, Tang En appeared at this end of the red carpet.

She is the heroine of "Unsinkable", and she is dressed up tonight. She is wearing a blue evening dress with suspenders. The deep V on the chest reaches the position of the navel, and both hemispheres are exposed. What a fight.

A small assistant quickly came over and whispered in Tang En's ear, "The reporters have all been arranged, all of which are pre-determined questions, a total of 3."

Tang En nodded with a smile, and then walked onto the red carpet with Liv Tyler on his arm.

For a moment, the flash flashed quickly, making the night look like day, and Liv Tyler seemed to be a different person, elegant and demure, with a generous demeanor, gently waving to the reporters and movie fans on both sides of the red carpet.

It's just... the walking speed is too slow!

Tang En hated walking the red carpet with female stars, and this was the reason.

However, "Unsinkable" has already lagged behind in terms of publicity. This time, Tang En can only cooperate with the crew's arrangement and make an impressive appearance.

Finally at the end of the red carpet, Tang En approached the reporter of "Los Angeles Times" with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Walker, are you confident in the box office of "Unsinkable"? This is the second collaboration between you and director Cameron. Will you work together to break the record of "Titanic"?"

Tang En said in one breath: "The box office is the data of the film company. I think what movie fans value is the quality of the movie. I can't predict the box office, but in terms of movie quality, I can assure the movie fans that "Unsinkable" will be the best." A film as good as Titanic."

"As we all know, the premiere of "Pearl Harbor" is also held at the Chinese Grand Theater tonight. They believe that "Pearl Harbor" can break the box office record of "Titanic". Is this true?"

Tang En said with a smile: "It's not convenient for me to comment on the movies of my peers. During the promotion stage of "Pearl Harbor", I have been comparing it with my movie "Titanic". It seems...they will surpass my past achievements. Everyone They all have different opinions, and I can't say much, but "Titanic" is a big ship, and today's "Unsinkable" is another ship. When they look at the first ship, our second The ship will set sail tonight."

"The last question is also the premiere ceremony. "Pearl Harbor"... seems to be much more grand than this one. What do you think of this situation?"

Tang En said calmly and indifferently: "Movies are a gift from Hollywood to movie fans all over the world, not a few celebrities. From this perspective, as the producer of "Unsinkable", I have been working with Director Cameron worked together to show the greatest sincerity to the fans."

...

"Next, let's invite Mr. Richard Livesey, the crew of the shipwreck and the great rescue hero!"

Immediately, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium.

An old man in his eighties got up slowly, and walked up to the front desk with the support of the staff.

Tang En, who was sitting below, yawned out of boredom.

Just now, there are more than a dozen survivors of the shipwreck that year, all of whom are in their 80s. To promote the movie in this way, Twain doesn't like this way from the bottom of his heart.

However, Universal seems to be never tired of doing it. During the promotion period, these old people were repeatedly shown in public, playing the emotional card.

"I've always felt that the way Hollywood treats older people ... lacks respect."

Tang En couldn't help whispering in James Cameron's ear.

Cameron gave him a strange look, "It's not in your interest? Maybe...they also like the feeling of receiving applause."

Tang En pouted, "Monkeys in the circus can also get applause!"

Cameron frowned, "Twain, your metaphor is very inappropriate!"

"Of course, I know, I just feel... If the movie doesn't start, I will almost fall asleep. This ceremony is too complicated and too long." Tang En sighed.

Charlize Theron, who was sitting on the other side, pursed her lips and said jokingly, "The way I see it...Twain, you are shifting your anxiety. You are not irritating these old people at all, but worrying about the "" Pearl Harbor."

Tang En was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Charlie, are you good at psychology? Did you learn it from Nat?"

Charlize Theron bit her lip and muttered, "Miss Portman doesn't talk to me much!"

Tang En almost didn't laugh.

Harvard hasn't had a holiday yet, but recently George Lucas organized another wave of reshoots for "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones". Natalie didn't have many roles, but she was also called back and filmed for a week.

The main reason is that Twain's "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Man's Menace" was so good, which put too much pressure on George Lucas. In the post-production process, he always strives for perfection.

With the current progress, the production cycle of "Star Wars Episode 2" is estimated to exceed 25 months.

During this period of time, Natalie had a good relationship with Rose Byrne, but was somewhat indifferent to Penelope Cruz and Charlize Theron.

Tang En said in a low voice: "The main reason is that you have such a good figure, you are tall and straight, and she is under a lot of pressure."

Charlize Theron just raised the corner of her mouth, "Then do you like me?"

"Of course, I like your body."

Tang En admitted frankly.

Charlize Theron's eyes were full of hope, "Just... just the body?"

Tang En looked indifferent, and pointed to the front, "Okay, the ceremony is over, it's time to watch a movie!"

Charlize Theron's eyes dimmed suddenly.

At this time, the lights in the auditorium dimmed, and the big screen was also pitch black.

In the whole hall, it seems to have become a long night, and you can't see your fingers.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared on the big screen, and in the vast night sky, a ray of light flashed from a corner.

Then the light became brighter and brighter.

Amidst a burst of majestic voices, a sign came together - Twain Films.

The movie begins!
