Hollywood Rhapsody

Chapter 11 My God!

"Titanic" is undoubtedly a star that will never fall in the history of movies. At this time, Sarah was able to witness the rise of this big ship at the beginning of its release. Sarah sat in the theater, her mood can be called excited, Even though she has watched this movie dozens of times, she is still as excited as a child right now.

Sitting next to his sweetheart, Joseph was equally excited. He was very glad that he had been at Sarah's door early, so he won the opportunity to date. It turns out that Sarah likes watching movies so much. It seems that it is a good idea to come to the cinema to report more in the future. I quietly gave myself a thumbs up in my heart, and the pursuit of more than three months finally saw the moon and the sky—look, Sarah is still so beautiful, ah, what is she laughing at?That excited and cute appearance, like a little girl who tasted the fruit of love for the first time, is... because of me?

"I specially asked my aunt to help me get the signed posters of the protagonists..." Joseph couldn't wait to present the treasure. He originally planned to use this poster as a Christmas gift for Sarah, but now he couldn't wait. He wanted to see Sarah smiled more, wanting to get Sarah's admiring gaze, for which he begged his aunt for a long time, God knows he has no interest in "Titanic" at all, after so many years of spending huge sums of money on filming, he even doubts that this movie can Costs cannot be recovered.

"Really? This is really great! Thank you Joseph, I will hang it on the head of the bedroom bed, so that I can see it first when I wake up every day." Sarah's eyes are staring, not saying Her personal enthusiasm for Titanic and the commemorative value of this poster are absolutely unimaginable. If it is collected until 2016, it will even be auctioned at a high price!

"It's fine if you like it." Joseph's heart seemed to be coated with honey, and a hot current surged in his heart. Looking at those shining beautiful blue eyes, Joseph felt that even if the girl in front of him wanted the stars in the sky, he would have no hesitation. Take it off and give it to her, is this the taste of love?Unparalleled beauty.

Although Joseph still wanted to use the excuse of signing the poster to chat more, but the movie had already started at this time, he opened his mouth, and finally endured it, because he understood how stupid it is to disturb an enthusiastic movie fan.Sarah stared at the screen in front of her without taking her eyes off, while Joseph secretly looked at Sarah's side face in the dim light, thinking about what to do after the movie ended, today he drove Dad's limousine and took Sarah Go for a ride?Then……

Joseph was thinking silently, and his eyes fell on the screen involuntarily. Gradually, he forgot about driving and kissing, and his attention was actually attracted by the screen...

When the poor boy shouted "I'm the king of the world!", the audience couldn't help but smile knowingly.

When the handsome poor boy and the stubborn rich girl meet, the eyes of all audiences light up. The faint chemical reaction makes them look forward to it. How will people from two different worlds spark the spark of love?Romeo and Juliet?

When Ruth's perfect body was frozen on Jack's drawing paper, the whole theater burst into awe, because of this sweet and voluptuous scene unconsciously gasped, and lamented that Ruth is such a bold girl!

Cool!They are actually together?Identity and money cannot be a stumbling block to true love. I don't know how many people envy such romantic love, and even more so, how many female audiences substitute themselves into Ruth and fantasize about becoming the heroine of the love story.

However, the disaster suddenly came at such a happy moment. The sorrow of the poor in the lower class, the haste of the rich in the upper class, and the reserve in the bones of the real nobles, these pictures made the audience full of emotion. In the last movement of life, the sentence "It is my honor to cooperate with you" moved countless audiences in front of the screen. All the screaming and madness seemed to be a foil at this moment. As poignant and beautiful, the audience suppressed the sadness in their hearts, but they still couldn't stop the tears in their eyes.

When Jack climbed on the wooden board and expressed his love with a trembling voice, many audience members could only press their lips tightly to hold back the choking and crying.

"You're going to get out of danger, you're going to survive, have lots of kids, watch them grow up, and you'll spend your old age peacefully in a warm bed..."

"Winning the boat ticket is the luckiest thing in my life. It allows me to know you. It's an honor to meet you. It's a great honor. You must help me. Promise me to live. Promise me that you will not give up...no matter what happens , no matter what the circumstances are... Ruth, promise me, don't forget..."

This sentence seems to have become the most beautiful love words in the world, and Ruth's confession in despair has become the only one, the only confession in the whole poignant love - "Jack, I love you..."

Ruth reluctantly let go of Jack's hand, and watched that handsome face gradually being swallowed up by the dark blue, and her unforgettable love was gone along with it, buried forever in the icy Atlantic Ocean.

In the end, when the pair of lovers hugged and kissed, the romantic and poignant "happy ending" actually earned enough tears from the audience, regardless of gender, age or age, with tears in their eyes but smiling.

The movie is over, but this touching and poignant love is deeply remembered by everyone.

Sarah cheered for the movie in a low voice. Even though she had watched it several times, she felt very different this time. She stared at the screen for a long time in her seat, accompanied by the familiar melody, and all kinds of memories flooded back. The first movie she and her first love watched It is "Titanic". Her love for movies and attention to Hollywood are also because of "Titanic". Even when she became a well-known movie critic, founded a movie website, and watched tens of thousands of movies, The most memorable classic in her heart has never changed.

This is a love movie, this is a disaster movie, but for Sarah, for her 30 years of life in the previous life, this is more like a precious key, leading her into a different movie The world; now, for her new life, it is more like a confidant in life who has been away for many years, welcoming her with open arms, opening the door to welcome her return, and once again entering a new wonderful world.

"Hey, long time no see, my dear Titanic." Sarah wiped her tears with a smile, and murmured in a voice that only she could hear, as if greeting an old friend who had reunited.

Walking out of the cinema, Sarah heard the sighs and exclamations of many audiences. They all thought it was a masterpiece, an unexpected classic. Some audiences even ran to the box office after leaving the screening hall, hoping to revisit it again.Sarah raised the corners of her mouth happily because of this, as if her good friend was praised by everyone. This feeling of honor is very subtle.But unlike those audiences, what she wants to do most at the moment is not to go into the screening hall again, but to hurry up to the computer and send a loving film review to her "friends".

The movie "Titanic" has always received a lot of social attention, and it has become famous in Hollywood even before it was released. In addition to anticipation, many film critics can't wait to comment on its high price before the movie is finished. The budget, and after the release, no good things were said.Sarah just read a film review yesterday that was full of criticism. What director and editor tampered with the real history, what storyline was so bad, what box office nightmare brought down a company... under the dismal box office at the beginning of the film's release Well, the media simply made nothing of what Titanic said. Sarah was drinking coffee at the time, and couldn't help but spit out all of it on the film review.

SO!She is gearing up and can't wait to fight those film critics. This is definitely a battle to defend the classics.

"Really? You're not going home tonight? Then you're planning...with me..." Joseph showed the shyness of a boy, and even lowered his head and played with his fingers.

"Hey, what are you thinking!" Sarah raised her brows and looked at Joseph playfully with her arms crossed. "I'll spend tonight at the internet cafe, right there, just across the road. As for you..."

"Of course I want to accompany you! A beautiful girl is alone in the middle of the night, I will be worried." Joseph quickly stopped Sarah's dismissive words, patted his chest and vowed to be the most loyal knight of Her Majesty the Princess.

"OK, it's up to you." Sarah shrugged noncommittally, and walked straight across the road. She had seen Joseph's clinging ability, as stubborn as chewing gum, and she had rejected it countless times, and she had never seen Joseph. Retiring in the face of difficulties is like trying to conquer a fortress. Therefore, the best way to deal with this situation is to let it go.

As for Joseph, his shoulders collapsed the moment Sarah walked by: "My wonderful kiss! Why are you so far away from me?"

Compared to Joseph's disappointment, Sam, who was so impatient that he was almost beaten by the boss and thrown out to feed the sharks, hugged the big head monitor in front of him excitedly and kissed: "ThankGod! Dear S, you finally appeared! Movie review Hurry up, where are the movie reviews we agreed on?!!!"

"...Calmdown... a little patience, I've already conceived it, and I'll give it to you right away." Sarah rolled her eyes at the screen. She just checked the mailbox, which was completely occupied by Sam's reminder letter.

"Calm down? What's that? SOS... For your movie review, the boss's gun is now on my forehead, and my life is in danger at any moment!" Sam wanted to flip the table, burning his ass. Let him calm down, God knows how swearingly he boasted in front of the editor-in-chief - only he can handle the prophet who can't be found in the whole world!

Sam, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly stopped scratching his hair. He stared at the monitor and scolded his mother: "Wait, what do you mean you have a good idea? Are you kidding me? You haven't written it yet!"

"This is a legendary masterpiece, of course I want to give him the highest level of treatment." Sarah's hands fluttered on the keyboard, as if she had watched the movie dozens of times, and she had written more than one film review for Titanic, but this The significance of this film review is obviously extraordinary.

"But... the editor-in-chief has already given me an ultimatum. I must get rid of Titanic's film review tonight. Even the third-rate tabloids have already made their voices heard. It makes no sense that the Los Angeles Times has been silent. All colleagues are wondering and even called Ask me if the newspaper has cut the film review department." Sam slumped in the chair, put the mouse on a document, hesitated before continuing to type, "Actually, just in case, we prepared a A film review, Kenneth Duran's manuscript is in my hand now, if, I mean, if your box office prediction fails, we can work together next time."

"Film critic Kenneth Duran?" Sarah squinted her eyes. She was impressed by this man. It is said that after the release of Titanic, the "Los Angeles Times" published Kenneth Duran's film review, criticizing Titanic as useless, and even sneered. This movie is really worth [-] million. James Cameron was irritated by this, and he had a few rounds of verbal battles with the "Los Angeles Times"...

"Hello? Are you still there?" Sam couldn't get a reply for a long time, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Could it be that his provocative method made the prophet go away in anger?This was not the result he wanted, his fingers paused on the keyboard, and Sam quickly typed a line, "Magic S, you know what I crave, box office, the most important thing is box office, I am willing to give the next The page is also reserved for you, no matter what you write, I will publish it without hesitation, even singing hymns to Titanic is fine, just give me a box office forecast first, my dear, one of your numbers is my life ah!"

As expected, Sarah raised her eyebrows, folded her arms around her chest, and leaned back in the chair, as if she was admiring Sam's struggle through the display screen. Did the forecaster's box office prediction really make this guy so obsessed?Then... "Give you a number, do you dare to climb it?"

"Of course! As long as it's your prediction, 5 million? 10 billion? How much is that magic number? I can't wait." Sam rubbed his hands excitedly, ready to deal with it for another round. Vanity isn't it?Regardless of whether the prophet on the opposite side is a man or a woman, Sam thinks that he has seen through the essence of the other person—she is like a coquettish, lustful bitch, pursuing her!flatter her!Lick her toes frantically!As long as her vanity is satisfied, she will lie down obediently, open her body, and give you everything you want!

So, Sam is not in a hurry now, he took all the time to prepare for the flattery, but in the next second, his brain, which was searching for words, was completely on the go, waiting for the monitor, his eyeballs were as surprised as a toad protruded out.

"WW-What?" Sam rubbed his eyes, staring at the digital face about to be posted on the screen.

"I swear to God, it's this number." Sarah's fingers were jumping happily. No matter how suspicious Sam was, she just copied and pasted the sentence and repeated it, and only at the end did she ask maliciously, "Publish this prophecy?" In the newspaper? Do you dare? Dare?"

"Jesus..." Sam really lifted the table this time, and he dropped the keyboard to the ground irritably, ignoring the ghostly eyes of his colleagues, he just stared at the computer like a stone statue in a daze, and after a full minute he Only then did he finally come to his senses, his eyes were still staring at the screen, staring at the number, he wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down, but his fingers were shaking so badly that he couldn't turn on the lighter anyway, so he glanced at the colleague who hesitated to speak, He threw the cigarette on the table again irritatedly, and finally glared at the screen viciously, then sprinted into the editor-in-chief's office at a speed of 1 meters.

On the fifth day of the film screening, Sarah went to buy a copy of the "Los Angeles Times" early in the morning, and everything was as usual. It seemed that her numbers last night did scare the screenwriter named Sam, and that guy was undoubtedly scared!

On the sixth day of the film screening, the "Los Angeles Times" remained silent and did not publish any film reviews on Titanic, whether positive or negative. I don't know where Sam had forgotten Kenneth Duran's manuscript, but Sarah had already finished her review. The film review is going to be posted on the Internet the next day.

On the seventh day of the film screening, December 12th is the official Christmas day, but James Cameron did not have the slightest festive joy. In the morning, he got yesterday's box office statistics. The single-day box office was 25 million, a 357% drop. mean what?Generally, the box office of a movie will drop by about 40.5% every week after its premiere, but Titanic has already gone downhill. The cumulative box office of more than 40 million may not be bad, but compared with the investment of more than 4 million?

James' fourth wife, Linda Hamilton, stuffed a cup of hot milk into James' hands and comforted him gently: "Today is Christmas, be happy dear, we don't want to go to the movies today."

James smiled reluctantly, but pointed at his temple with his finger. He said: "I'm sorry, but I can't control it, Titanic! Titanic! Titanic! I'm full of it, and more and more film critics are beginning to recognize it. movie, but the attention is obviously more focused on the box office - hey, it's a good movie, but so what, it's a terrible box office nightmare, worse than "Waterworld", worse than "Eyptian" "Later" is even more terrifying..."

"Sh... honey, don't do this, you make my heart hurt..." Linda combed James' hair with her hands, trying to comfort her.

"Okay, well, I really should calm down, at least today, at Christmas, I shouldn't keep thinking about movies..." James took a deep breath, stood up and prepared to wash his face with cold water, and adjust his emotions .

But he just took a step, and the phone in the living room rang hastily. He waved his hand to stop Linda, and walked over to pick up the receiver by himself.In the next second, the voice of his friend, film Titanic producer Jon Landau excitedly entered James' ears.

"Crazy! Crazy! The Los Angeles Times is crazy, no, the prophet is crazy."

Jon was almost shouting on the other end of the phone, hitting James' eardrums——

"MyGod! 20 billion! It is predicted that the box office will win 20 billion!"

"Yes, yes Jim, this is crazy, the best, best, best, greatest Christmas present I've ever received!"

The author has something to say:

"Titanic" is Dailin's most favorite movie. I watched it again yesterday for writing. In the scene where Leonardo sank into the sea, Dailin cried to death. There is also the last scene of the movie , I really can't control my tear glands at all.

There are several behind-the-scenes special programs about the movie "Titanic" on Youku. Those who are interested can watch it. There is a video at the very beginning that is a fast-forward shot. The whole process of building the Titanic, Dalin actually When watching that episode, I couldn't control my tears, 囧, Dai Lin is so emotional!But the process of "shipbuilding" is really shocking, James Cameron is really courageous!Fox and Paramount are great too, and seriously, there's no reason this movie isn't a classic!

Finally, thank you Fantuanzi, I love you so much, the drooling little plum, if you find out what he was back then, your heart will stop beating.
