Chapter 19

"Hey, darling, woke up so early?" Down was awakened by the closing voice, and he saw Kate Winslet in a rose-red low-cut pajamas, holding a copy in his hands. The files came over.

Kate frowned. "Town, we're friends, call me Kate."

"Well, Kate, what's in your hand?" Tang yawned and stretched, and was a little crazy last night.

There was a smile on Kate's face. "It was a fax and a newspaper from the maid. Fox Pictures delivered it early in the morning."

"Oh?" Tang En showed some interest, "How much is the box office ahead of time?"

"615

Ten thousand U.S. dollars. " " Ah? So little? "Tang En was a little hesitated, which is not far from the tens of millions in advance box office.

Kate said, "It's not

enough ? It's just better than Jurassic Park ..." "Okay Kate!" Down was a little displeased. "I said," Jurassic Park "is nothing like my movie. Forget it, you do n't understand, do n't worry, just wait and see the box office slowly. "

Kate poked her lips and was not annoyed. The movie starring in her will be successful at first sight, and she is happy," Want to read the newspaper? All newspapers are well received! "

Tang En laughed." Come on, Kate, do you think Fox Film, the badly rated newspaper, will send someone? Okay, you read it, I listen. "

Kate Jiaoqiao Rolled her eyes, she likes this comfortable and relaxed atmosphere with Down, "said the column of the Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan, who said that this movie is a love film beyond the times . "

" Before that, "Lolita" and "Before Sunrise", the love themes expressed in those films were gentle and hazy. Only the film "Titanic", men and women The protagonist boldly shows love, chases, kisses, and expresses love freely. "

"The love shown in the film has no wealth gap, no status gap, the pursuit of love at first sight, and the desire to burn instantly. This is the universal view of love that is universal across the world. I believe that with the advent of the" Titanic "movie, Hollywood Love movies will change in a big direction. "

Tang En laughed:" This guy's vision is so accurate, let him be right, in the future Hollywood love movies, it must be based on me! "

" Cheeky ! "

Kate angry cry, continue to read," this is a film critic Andrew O'Hair on "Watson Washington Post", he said, "Taitannike number" two film adhering to the belief that business on the left, Love is on the right. Love and disaster are the two main themes of the film, but cruel disasters become so small in the face of great love. This is a fairy tale about love, courage, faith and sacrifice, which will definitely move the whole the tears of the world. " "

so short? " "

no, I would pick a short, you hear their up? " "

listen! you continue! "

Kate chuckle laugh, read a little newspaper, and suddenly eyes Bright, revealing a surprise, surprised expression, "Mr. think Joe Morgenstern also made a film critic!"

"Joe Morgenstern? Who?" Dunn never heard of this man.

Kate glanced at him with a contemptuous glance, "You do n't know, one of the greatest film critics from the 1960s to the 1980s! Did you know that there were many independent films at the time, as long as he could get a word of praise from him, You can enter the theater to show it! "

" So powerful? "Tang En knew that film critics had a great say in Hollywood over the past few decades." What did he say? "

Kate cleared her throat." Hollywood has a short history From silent to sound, from black and white to color, Hollywood has promoted the development of film art. This is by no means the accomplishment of one or two people, but depends on the joint efforts of a large number of entrepreneurs, inventors, producers, directors and actors. Work hard. "

Tang En cheered up at the beginning.

This style is so high!

"In the past films, literature and art were subtle, and business was so aggressive that it was difficult to reach an ideal meeting point. This is why many film critics sneered at today's Hollywood movies. After the 1990s, the commercialization of Hollywood movies gradually rose. And also produced a series of box office blockbusters, such as "The Rock", "Battle of the Earth" and so on.

If you take a closer look, I always feel shocked and inadequate. " " If Hollywood continues to follow this momentum, So Hollywood, which leads the global film trend, is bound to exist in name. Until last night I watched the "Titanic" produced by James Cameron and directed by Don Walker, and finally opened.

"Commercial and art are by no means co-existing! Special effects and huge sums of money must not change the core of the film. There are advanced computer technology to create magnificent scenes. This is something that cannot be imagined in the past few decades, but today Achieved, but Hollywood cannot be developed singly. Diversity, tolerance, and seeking common ground while reserving differences are Hollywood's laws of survival.

"" Titanic is a sign. I cannot confirm how much the final movie box office will be, but I can be sure of the special effects and blockbusters. The era has come. It is just hoped that the filmmakers can keep a clear head and not be controlled by capital to make works that really conform to the Hollywood concept. "

"I am grateful to James Cameron and Donn Walker, but also Steve Spielberg and George Lucas, who have led a new era for Hollywood, and I have a hope in the past, though has been in the past, but the spirit of Hollywood, you need to heritage. inevitable effects of age, but if such a film "Taitannike number", enough for every person who loves Hollywood movies deeply respect. "

see Dunn silent, Kate whispered He called, "Tang En? Are you okay?"

Tang En shuddered and shook his head with a bitter smile.

There is no doubt that this older generation of film critics has deep feelings for movies and for Hollywood, for fear that Hollywood movies will take a visual, superficial path.

But in the future ... isn't that the world of popcorn movies?

The general trend is irreversible, or the power of capital is too strong.

"Capital!"

Tang En narrowed his eyes, and he understood a rationale.

Everyone says that Hollywood's pattern cannot be changed. The six major film companies divide the world, but is this really the case?

Even the spirit of Hollywood can be eroded step by step by powerful capital, not to mention the film companies controlled by capital?

Tang En laughed, the ideal may not be out of reach!

...

Tom Rothman, the president of Fox Pictures, was in a bad mood. He seriously miscalculated the power of Titanic.

The assistant has just come to report. "Titanic" has become the most sensational movie in major movie theaters in the United States. Not only is it difficult to get a ticket, the booking phone has even confirmed the movie tickets for the next two or three days.

Such a situation did not occur that year.

"Jurassic Park"!

Steve Spielberg's film that year caused a worldwide sensation, and the current "Titanic" is like a replica of the year.

"A lengthy and boring disaster movie, why is it so popular?" Tom Rothman slaps the table angrily, his eyes rolled a few times, "No! Never let Bill McNick come back to life!" "

If the film" Titanic "is successful, then the unique vision and keen judgment of Bill McNick will inevitably illuminate a real Fox film industry, so that it will be appreciated by the senior management of the group headquarters. At that time, it will be difficult He stepped down.

It's just that Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2" will be released in another month. With Luc Besson's "Fifth Element", it is impossible to counter the power of "Titanic".

"Maybe ... it's time for a wave of scandals." As a senior member of Fox Pictures, Tom Rothman naturally cannot lead the film that persecuted the company, but as a person on the tip of the Hollywood pyramid, who has few connections?

"Henry, do me a favor ..."

Tom Roseman called his personal phone.
