Chapter 128
"Josie is such a charming lady!"
Exiting the auditorium, Lindsay exclaimed dramatically.
Although they are only 12 years old, their age does not affect the crazyness of these girls for "Titanic". She and her girlfriend Lily managed to grab two movie tickets with excellent locations at the Garden Grotto Cinema, and this time they finally got what they wanted , I fully felt the wonderful performance of my favorite actress at present.
I have to say, I was so lucky today!
"I still don't quite understand why you can chase a female celebrity so crazily." Lily shrugged, "The strangest thing is that Leo also appeared at the same time."
"Oh, my dear, she is the kind of woman I want to be—no, a female star!" Lindsay tried to open her eyes, making her already lively blue eyes brighter, "And Josie and Li O was so fitting, the casting for this movie is perfect!"
"Okay! I admit that when she and Leo got together, my heart beat twice as fast." Lily affirmed her friend's point of view, "The last time we went to see it, only the front row was left, which was not enjoyable at all. !"
""Titanic" is a classic worth watching again and again!" Lindsay blinked her big eyes, then turned her head and asked, "Why don't we watch it again tonight? It's only seven o'clock anyway!"
"The location for temporary ticket purchase is too bad, and our access control is at ten o'clock." Lily hesitated a bit, her pocket money for this week is not enough, unlike Lindsay who has income subsidies for TV drama performances and advertising models—— Maybe, she should also find some part-time job?
"It's okay, I'll ask my dad to pick us up, and you can stay overnight at my house." Lindsay proposed enthusiastically, obviously not yet satisfied, "I'll buy the tickets."
But unfortunately, there are no tickets for the next "Titanic", and the next one will have to wait until 45 minutes.
"Are there no movie tickets in the front row or in the corner?" Lindsay asked unwillingly at the ticket office.
"No, you can watch the next one." The conductor, who was used to the craziness of these teenagers, recommended in a flat tone.
"But we want to see Josie now!" Lindsay was anxious.
"If you want to watch Josie Horton—" the conductor glanced at the people behind them, and said closer: "Or you can choose the "Devil's Advocate" next door, which is Keanu Reeves and Josie Horton co-starring special effects blockbuster."
Lindsay and Lily looked at each other, the latter shrugged slightly, and the former nodded to the conductor.
The conductor gave them a wink, printed out two movie tickets for "007: Tomorrow's Empire", and quickly whispered: "Go in and walk to the end, Screening Hall No. [-]."
Lindsay was stunned, looking at the movie ticket in his hand, just about to say something, but immediately reacted, silently clenched his fists, turned and walked towards the screening hall.
It wasn't until she sat in the best seat in the No. [-] screening hall that she couldn't help wrinkling her nose and asking, "Is this stealing the box office?"
"Who knows." Lily didn't care. Keanu Reeves would be fine without Leonardo DiCaprio—and she never had the chance to watch "The Devil's Advocate" because of the film's rating issue.
Lindsay pursed her lips. Fortunately, when the movie started to show, her emotions returned to excitement.
The same scene played out in every movie theater across North America, and movie fans - especially teenagers - frantically watched "Titanic" this seemingly ordinary love movie repeatedly, and the box office trend began to show Hollywood. It's weird that filmmakers can't understand.
The weekend of the second week is over, and the box office revenue of "Titanic" is 600 million US dollars. At this time, its cumulative box office is nearly 9000 million US dollars, and the weekly box office performance has increased by nearly 25%!
In contrast, "007: Tomorrow's Empire" fell slightly, 18.5%. This figure is the normal trend of the box office of a normal commercial blockbuster.
Everyone in Hollywood who got this data was shocked by this weird increase, because this is really not a bad movie—no, even ordinary popcorn movies that hit the box office cannot have such box office results!
So, there are actually many people walking into the cinema for this movie?
Just for such an unremarkable love movie?
Oh my God!
That kind of plot, that kind of lines, that kind of heroine and heroine... Isn't it possible for people to guess the next story from the beginning of the movie?
Or is it that the other bad films of the same period set off the excellence of "Titanic"?
how can that be!
Numerous film company executives, producers, film critics, data analysts, etc. are all puzzled by this box office trend, and what people did not expect at this time is that "Titanic" will dominate the box office. The fifteen-week miracle of the weekend box office champion has just begun——
In the third weekend, the box office of "Titanic" fell by 6%, which is almost negligible. At this time, "007: Tomorrow Empire" has plummeted by 32.6% at normal levels.
In the fourth weekend, it fell by 13%. The original rival "007: Tomorrow Empire" continued to plummet 45.4%, and it no longer has any qualifications to compete with "Titanic". " netted $1000 million, almost a third of what "Titanic" did.
On the fifth weekend, a scene that shocked the entire Hollywood community appeared. The weekend box office of "Titanic" rose instead of falling, ushering in the first - but by no means the last - rise, with 600 With a score of [-] million US dollars, it came out on top, leaving all the Hollywood blockbusters behind.
At the same time, "Titanic" swept this year's Golden Globe Awards, winning five awards for Best Drama, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Composer, and Best Movie Song, aiming for the Oscars!
"Is this... really our movie?"
Seeing the recently calculated box office data appear at Fox's internal meeting, everyone still feels very unreal.
The CEO of Fox, Bill McKennik's face was flushed, and he didn't need any cigarettes, alcohol or pills to feel his blood boiling, and his whole body was more energetic than ever.
He vigorously knocked on the table in the meeting room, looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, it's not the time to really celebrate the victory, Oscar is still..."
Meanwhile, the president of Paramount, Shirley Lansing, was scolded by the chairman and CEO of parent company Viacom, Sumner Redstone, because Paramount was unwilling to pay six months ago. Thousands of US dollars in exchange for the North American distribution rights of "Titanic"!
Shirley Lansing ended the call with difficulty, pressed the internal number and asked her assistant to bring a cup of hot coffee to the office, and then opened the project plan for the next film that Paramount planned to produce.
"It's a pity that the filming of "The Truman Show" has already been finished, otherwise Josie Horton should be willing to accept a role, and partnering with Jim Carrey would not be considered an insult to her. Speaking of which, this time I have to give her a little mention A bit of a price, 500 million should be an appropriate price, even if her next film salary should be more than 1000 million, but who let her still have a contract with Paramount?"
Hollywood's positive feedback on "Titanic" has just begun, and this big ship can't wait to sail to the world——
Early forecast total box office of 8000 million US dollars?
Oh come on, after the first week, the cumulative box office of this movie is more than that!
A decadent fairytale of old-time Hollywood?
Aha, the audience loves this tune, madly in love with it!
A shipwreck bound for destruction, another bankruptcy crisis for Fox after "Cleopatra"?
Don't be kidding, just look at its recent box office trends and overseas popularity. Investing a full 100 million US dollars in a cross-generational masterpiece will not only prevent losses, but also inject a special boost to Fox's sluggish stock price. It is [-]% sure to make money!
The film critics lost their voices collectively, followed by collective amnesia, and every newspaper was talking about "Titanic" and everything that "Titanic" brought.
"Empire" magazine quickly changed the film rating of "Titanic" after the outcry of readers of the magazine, and it regained five stars;
"Los Angeles Times" launched a special investigation and report on "Why "Titanic" is so popular";
Top teen film magazine BBandPOP named the two leading actors as the most popular movie stars of the moment, and there's even a whole new craze named after them;
"In addition to the fact that she is admittedly very charming, she can always arouse the audience's sympathy and protective desire." When evaluating Josie Horton, Amy Powers, editor-in-chief of "Teen" magazine, described it this way, "People Feeling like I could save her, whether it was breaking Cher's Beverly life, changing Ellen's fate on trial, nurturing Dorothy's or Mary's beloved heart, or wandering the world with Rose. And the heroic fantasy, and a part of muqiang psychology."
Needless to say, an unprecedented masterpiece was born!
The industry authority belonging to film critics has been brutally destroyed. The successful counterattack of a "Titanic" even became popular all over the world, making Hollywood wonder whether it is necessary to continue spending money on film critics for public relations .
—Honestly, it might not have been as effective as casting Leonardo DiCaprio or Josie Horton in a movie, and everyone was crazy about this young couple.
James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", finally doesn't have to worry about his future career. He is gearing up to write a letter to the "Los Angeles Times" to refute some of the film critics who jumped the hardest and scolded the worst. I personally went out to take off their faces and stomped on them again, and let out a bad breath.
— of course, the guy never asked about the $250 million sequel.
Leonardo had a phenomenal success with the film, approaching veteran Hollywood A-listers Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, and others in popularity, and his fans didn't think he was that rough He is regarded as a young "David Bowie", because they also have the charm that makes countless girls crazy.
——Well, no wonder he had such a weird attitude when facing Josh.
As for the treatment Josie received, it was actually almost the same as Leonardo's.
On the one hand, Leonardo has too many fanatical girl fans, which directly let Hollywood see the influence of young women on the box office. Before that, they regarded young men as the main force contributing to the box office.
On the other hand, Josie has a deeper background in her works than Leonardo, who directly ascended from two works - "Romeo and Juliet" and "Titanic". "Titanic" is her third It is a film that has both received critical acclaim at the box office, and the other two are "Leadership" and "Mr. Sweetheart".
And this year, she also has "The Devil's Advocate", which borrowed the wind from "Titanic". Even though it was selectively ignored by film critics and traditional paper media in North America, it successfully won 6000 million US dollars in North America and nearly [-] million US dollars worldwide. box office.
So now you want to invite the popular actress Josie Horton to star in a movie, the quotations sent to her agent Martha Miller by major film companies have impeccably broken through 1000 million US dollars, and they still have continuous Sexual upside!
Besides, an ironic but dubious rumor gradually spread in Hollywood...
