Heads Up Hollywood

"Hey, dear, woke up so early?" Dunn was woken up by the sound of the door closing, and he saw Kate Winslet wearing a rose red low-cut pajamas, holding a The file came over.

Kate frowned, "Dawn, we are friends, call me Kate."

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

A smile crossed Kate's face, "It's the fax and newspaper sent by the maid. Fox Pictures delivered it early in the morning."

"Oh?" Dunn became interested, "How much is the box office in advance?"

"$6.15 million."

"Ah? So few?" Tang En was slightly taken aback. This is not a small difference from the tens of millions of advance box office sales of later generations.

Kate said angrily, "Is that less? Only compared to "Jurassic Park"..."

"Okay Kate!" Dunn was a little displeased, "I said, "Jurassic Park" can't compare to my movie at all! Forget it, you don't understand, don't worry, wait and watch the box office slowly Bar."

Kate pouted, but was not annoyed. The movie she starred in was about to be successful, and she was happy. "Would you like to read the newspapers? All the newspapers are well received!"

Dunn smiled and said, "Please! Kate, do you think Fox Pictures, the newspaper with bad reviews, will send someone to deliver it? Well, read it, I'll listen."

Kate rolled her eyes coquettishly, she liked the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere with Dunn," wrote Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan, who said the film was ahead of its time. love movie."

"Before that, whether it's "Lolita" or "Love Before Dawn", the love themes expressed in those movies are all graceful and hazy. Only the movie "Titanic" has a bold hero and heroine. Showing love, chasing, kissing, expressing love unrestrainedly."

"The love shown in the film has no gap between rich and poor, no status gap, pursues love at first sight, and longs for a moment of burning. This is a universal view of love that is applicable to the world. I believe that with the emergence of the "Titanic" movie, Hollywood romance films, there will be a big change in direction."

Tang En said with a smile: "This guy's vision is really accurate, let him say it right, future Hollywood romance films must be based on me!"

"Cheky!"

Kate groaned and continued to read, "This is Andrew O'Hare's film review on The Washington Post. He said that the movie "Titanic" upholds two beliefs, business is on the left and love is on the right .Love and disaster are the two major themes of the film, but cruel disasters become so insignificant in the face of great love. This is a fairy tale about love, courage, faith and sacrifice, which will surely move the tears of people all over the world ."

"So short?"

"No, I just picked a short paragraph, do you still listen?"

"Listen! You go on!"

Kate pursed her lips and smiled, flipped through the newspaper, and suddenly her eyes lit up, showing a surprised and surprised expression, "I didn't expect Mr. Joe Morgenston to post a movie review too!"

"Joe Morgenston? Who?" Dunn had never heard of this person.

Kate glanced at him with a little contempt, "You don't know that, one of the greatest film critics from the 1960s to the 1980s! Did you know that there were many independent films at that time, as long as you could get a compliment from him, It's going to be shown in theaters!"

"So powerful?" Dunn knew that film critics had a great deal of power in Hollywood in the past few decades. "What did he say?"

Kate cleared her throat, "Hollywood's history is very short, from silent to sound, from black and white to color, Hollywood has promoted the development of film art. A joint effort of the family, the producers, the directors and the actors."

Just at the beginning, Dunn was excited.

This style is so high!

"In the past movies, literature and art were all implicit and commercial, and it was difficult to achieve an ideal fit. This is why many film critics sneered at today's Hollywood movies. After the 1990s, the commercialization of Hollywood movies has gradually emerged. And a series of box office blockbusters such as "Brave the Dead Island" and "Earth Defense" have also been born, but if you look closely, I always feel more shocked than reflected."

"If Hollywood continues to develop at this rate, then Hollywood, which leads the global film trend, must exist in name only. Until last night, I watched "Titanic" produced by James Cameron and directed by Dunn Walker, and it finally opened. ."

"Business and art do not coexist! Special effects and huge sums of money can never change the core of a movie. Advanced computer technology can create magnificent scenes, which was unimaginable in the past few decades, but it is now possible. Yes, but Hollywood cannot develop alone, diversity, tolerance, seeking common ground while reserving differences are Hollywood’s laws of survival.”

"'Titanic' is a sign, I can't confirm how much the final movie box office will be, but I can be sure that the era of special effects and blockbusters has come. I just hope that filmmakers can keep a clear head and not be swayed by capital. Come out with something that truly fits the Hollywood concept.”

"I am grateful to James Cameron and Dunn Walker, as well as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, who ushered in a new era for Hollywood, and I have a hope that the past is It's gone, but the Hollywood spirit needs to be passed on. The era of special effects is inevitable, but films like "Titanic" are enough to make every filmmaker who loves Hollywood deeply respected."

Seeing that Dunn was silent, Kate whispered, "Donne? Are you okay?"

Tang En was startled, then shook his head with a wry smile.

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

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

The general trend is irreversible. In other words, the power of capital is too powerful.

"Capital!"

Dunn narrowed his eyes, he understood a big truth.

Everyone says that the pattern of Hollywood cannot be changed, and that the six major film companies divide the world, but is this really the case?

Even the spirit of Hollywood can be eroded by powerful capital step by step, UU reading www. uukanshu.com not to mention a film company controlled by capital?

Tang En laughed loudly, ideals may not be out of reach!

…

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

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

This kind of situation did not happen in those days.

"Jurassic Park"!

Back then, Steven Spielberg's film caused a worldwide sensation, and now "Titanic" seems to be a remake of that year.

"Why is a long and boring disaster movie so popular?" Tom Rothman slapped the table angrily and rolled his eyes a few times, "No way! Bill McNick must never be brought back to life. !"

If the movie "Titanic" is successful, then Bill McNick's unique vision and keen judgment will definitely shine on Fox Films, and thus be appreciated by the senior management of the group headquarters. Moved down.

It's just that Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2" will not be released in a month, and with Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element", it is impossible to compete with the power of "Titanic".

"Maybe...it's time for a wave of scandals." Tom Rothman, as a senior executive of Fox Pictures, naturally cannot lead the films that persecute the company, but as a person at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, who has few connections?

"Henry, do me a favor..."

Tom Rothman dialed his personal number.
