Chapter 126
Josie has no interface.
To be honest, she also thinks that there are some problems with James Cameron's version of the editing-even the final version is not perfect-but there are too many shots that can be used in "Titanic", even the most experienced Hollywood Rich editors will also find it difficult to choose, not to mention James Cameron who regards this movie as a treasure.
There was a strong smell of tobacco from the back row, and the men who occupied the vast majority of the room couldn't help smoking, accompanied by whispers.
Josie frowned subconsciously, but her attention was still on the movie.
Leonardo and Frank beside him were already attracted by the setting sail of the Titanic—there seemed to be elements of shock, but there was nothing unusual on Frank’s face—Josie was mainly observing herself carefully before the movie. in the performance.
Her "Rose" makes people feel depressed and contradictory. Underneath the calm and beautiful appearance is an undercurrent. Standing on the deck of a ship in the sunset, it seems that there is a cliff in front of her, and her heart is sinking.
But it is precisely because of this that the heroine is particularly lovable.
Especially when Rose met Jack, her repressed vitality transformed instantly, like a rose blooming in the cold wind, making the whole movie scene warm and lively.
However, for the producers, all this is not enough.
Fox insiders are secretly communicating, so far they have not recovered their confidence in the film from the internal preview.
"A somewhat clichéd love story."
"The Titanic is like an old Hollywood myth, full of decay and decay."
"Fortunately, we have a good cast, Josie Horton and Leonardo DiCaprio both have a lot of irrational teenage fans, which is good."
"It's not too bad, but it's definitely a money-losing business."
"A loss of more than $[-] million. Maybe after the movie is released, we will be fired collectively."
"At least we are not the main person in charge, the one-way ticket on the roof does not have our name..."
By the end of the nearly three-and-a-half-hour-long film, the room was filled with sickening smoke, so much so that Josie went out to get some air before the end, because she had seen what she cared about most.
Leonardo, who usually smokes, couldn't stand the group of old smokers in the screening room, so he followed Josie out shortly after she left. Seeing her wiping her fingers with a disinfectant wipe, her eyes were empty and unfocused. Think about something.
He walked over and asked, "Hey, what do you think of our movie?"
Josie seemed to be immersed in her own thoughts, she first straightened her body subconsciously, then raised her eyes to look at Leonardo, showing a habitual smile: "The Titanic is more beautiful than I can imagine. The shock is even more outstanding.”
Leonardo also smiled and said: "Now my worries are gone. No matter what the final box office results are, each of us performed very well, and the whole movie moved me even more."
"Is it just moving?" Josie asked. "I think this is a wonderful experience. Although there are some trivial pains in the long process, it brings me an unprecedented sense of accomplishment."
When Leonardo heard this, he sighed and felt helpless: "Oh, you are always like this. Why don't you relax a little bit and talk about what we young people should talk about? After all, we have been busy for so long, should we go find it together? Have fun."
Josie spread her hands, "If you mean drinking and clubbing, why not try my method this time."
In fact, she also felt that she could relax a little bit at this time. She just got a lot of money and was considering whether to buy a small farm near Los Angeles for fun.
So Josie took Leonardo to ride a horse at an equestrian club in the suburbs.
"That's really great," Leonardo commented, "and I didn't expect that you belong to the pastoral school?"
"You'll know when you're old." Josie didn't look back on the horse, as if she didn't care about his teasing.
Leonardo couldn't help smiling, gently driving the first horse, letting the wind blow every strand of his hair.
After the internal preview, Leonardo was full of confidence in the film, especially after seeing the more streamlined preview of the second version. He had already happily planned to go on vacation after the promotional trip.
And the Tokyo premiere of "Titanic" also allowed his inflated confidence to climb.
At the premiere scene on November 1997, 11, more than 1 riot police were unable to completely control nearly 200 "Romeo" fanatics.
Because of the magical movie "Romeo and Juliet", Leonardo was promoted to the altar here, and he gained a terrible popularity.
They—almost most of them were women—screamed uniform cheering slogans in the crowded scene, and the loud "Romeo! Romeo!" Even James Cameron, who had seen the big scene, was shocked.
"It's really like...the site of some kind of communist organization." The already tall and thin director has continued to lose weight recently, and the high-intensity work and great pressure have prevented him from normal work and rest.
But for now, it looks like he could be a little more optimistic.
In addition to "Romeo" belonging to Leonardo, there were also some fans who came for Josie. She is far less popular here than in the United States, but after "Mr. Sweetheart" was released here in May this year, It has also won the love of many people one after another.
She blew a kiss to a small group of moviegoers holding a lighted sign not far away, prompting an eager shriek, but far less terrifying than "Romeo."
And this kind of scene appeared one after another at the premieres of various countries, until they returned to their hometown of Los Angeles, the film critics of the City of Angels were like a basin of cold water falling from the sky, giving everyone a head-on blow——
On the evening of December 1997, 12, Los Angeles, USA.
Emily stood in the crowd, struggling to hold up a movie poster with Josie Horton and Leonardo DiCaprio printed on it, her eyes eagerly staring at the entrance of the red carpet just stopped The stretched Lincoln.
Her boyfriend Nick struggled to protect her from being pushed and jokingly said: "It seems that I made the right choice to join the school football team this semester. At least I seem to be extra reliable now, don't I?"
"If you can get Josie or Leo to sign our poster—" Emily lost interest when she saw the brunette getting out of the car, "Oh, it's Ashley Judd, she still It’s beautiful, but the look is beyond words.”
"I have to say that Josie is always very high-end, and every time she looks, she will never disappoint." The girl next to Emily said to her, "Hi, I am Angela, I like Leo and Josie .”
"Emily." Emily shook hands with Angela, "To be honest, I also like 'Romeo' very much, but Josie is the kind of girl I want to be in my dreams."
"Oh, who wouldn't want to be Josie Horton?" Angela shrugged and smiled at Emily, when she suddenly heard enthusiastic screams erupting from around her.
One of today's protagonists, Leonardo DiCaprio, appeared on the premiere red carpet. His hair was dyed back to dark blonde, he was wearing a dark suit, and a silver-gray tie was neatly tied. The handsome face smiled slightly, which directly triggered the first wave of excitement at the premiere.
And the second wave is the arrival of the heroine Josie Horton.
She wore a white lady's suit jacket that could be said to be almost fairy-like, with a vacuum inside, paired with thin tube pants of the same color that exposed her ankles, and stepped on silver pointed high-heeled shoes, looking neat, elegant and sexy.
But what's even more terrible is that she combed her freshly dyed short light blonde hair back to the back. The makeup on her fair face is light and elegant, but unexpectedly full of fierce charm.
A faint smile is already a beauty that makes people restless.
"My God! Josie's aura is too strong tonight!"
"I couldn't help but hold my breath just now!"
"I couldn't even blink until she walked over and was looking at her ass!"
"Emmm, although I also... But there is no need to say it."
"In a sense, she and Leo are still a good match."
"But how do I feel..."
"Leo seems to be..."
"The one down there...?"
"Ahem, I should use 'passive' to make it more vivid. The two of them seem to be about the same age, but Josie's aura is amazing. When they are together, Leo is so obedient and wants to rub his head."
"In fact, the two have the same birthday, and Leo is three years older."
"Same birthday? Oh these Scorpios are damn charming!"
"Actually, she really isn't that kind of blond sweetheart character. The last time the paparazzi secretly took photos of her riding a horse with Russell Crowe, Russell followed the horse's butt and ate sand."
"I heard that they were talking about a new movie, and there was also a blond and blue-eyed handsome guy at the scene. NOW broke the news that he was just an up-and-coming director, but he was too suitable to be an actor."
Nick patted the shoulder of his girlfriend who was chatting enthusiastically with others, and asked, "I remember that person, is it him?"
He pointed in the direction of the entrance.
It was a blond young man who was in the same car as Josie but was the last to get off. He was wearing a strict black formal suit. When Josie was being interviewed by reporters on the red carpet, he took a long leg and was already waiting quietly at the entrance.
On the other hand, Nick's eyes were better, and it was obvious that the blond young man occasionally glanced at the red carpet, only locking on a figure.
Well, Leonardo standing next to Josie is quite handsome, but out of male intuition, Nick thinks that the blond young man who looks indifferent and dignified is more suitable for the position next to Josie.
There's nothing masculine about Leonardo or anything... Nick thought sourly.
"Oh my God, he's so handsome!" Before Emily could react, Angela jumped up excitedly, "Who is this? What's his name? It's really just a director?"
"...you don't love your Leonardo anymore?" Emily asked without answering.
"Love is love. But it's different." Angela was extremely honest, "I love any good-looking man or woman, especially a career like a director, which in my opinion is brilliant and mysterious."
Emily was amused, but was quickly attracted by the Hollywood stars appearing on the red carpet one after another, and did not continue to pay attention to the low-key new director.
After accepting some interviews, Josie hugged Gloria Stewart, the elderly actress who played the leading role. The aged actress was in high spirits tonight, with perfect makeup and hair and expensive diamond jewelry, no less than the present any one of.
"How are you, Gloria?" Josie said with a smile.
"It couldn't be better, dear." Gloria looked very happy. For an actor of her age, no matter what the fate of the Titanic is next, it is already another spring in her career." What about you? I heard that you have a new movie to start shooting recently."
"Yes, there is an old director of the orphanage in it, maybe you would like to read the script?" Josie invited.
"Then what are you waiting for, why don't we go home and read the script now!" Gloria agreed immediately, and made a harmless joke.
To be honest, there are very few roles suitable for older actresses in Hollywood, and most of them are insignificant side roles, because almost no audience is willing to care about the stories of women in their 50s and [-]s, let alone an old man like her.
