Hollywood Starts with Animation

"I'm so sorry I can't promise you now, Mr. Wald."

"You know, I'll have to talk to my agent about this. Of course, I'm very grateful for your invitation to be the face of SpongeBob SquarePants."

Leonardo DiCaprio, who is only 23 years old, has to say that his emotional intelligence is very high. Even rejecting Zucker is so euphemistic.

Zucker didn't mind at all: "It doesn't matter, this kind of thing should indeed have a good chat with the agent. I will wait for your call at any time, and of course I will take the initiative to invite you again."

You politely refuse?

I'm just pretending to be confused, can't I?

"Uh......"

Rao is a little plum with high emotional intelligence. He was also stunned by Zu Ke at the moment. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wald, you are really... Anyway, thank you very much for your invitation."

Zucker said immediately: "Thank you, thank you, it's a win-win situation. I want your popularity and at the same time pay you money, which is not a good thing. Don't be in a hurry to respond, I'll have someone contact your agent tomorrow. Okay, that's it for now, let's talk about movies."

You want to refuse directly, there is no door!

Lao Tzu's words are all for this sake, how can you open your mouth to refuse?

Not long after.

The premiere of "Titanic" officially kicked off under the eyes of all the guests.

During the viewing process, many of the people at the premiere began to discuss in a low voice.

"Nolan, what do you think of the movie?" Zach Snyder leaned over and asked.

Hearing this, Nolan frowned and said, "I don't need to say much about the film skills of director Cameron. Whether it's the conversion of shots or the rendering of colors, they are all extremely beautiful. At the same time, the hero and heroine of the film abandon the worldly love, which also makes people feel Endless yearning."

"Oh?"

Zach Snyder pressed: "So you thought the movie was great."

"Yes, I have no doubts about that!"

Nolan's tone was very firm and unexpectedly firm. After all, the vast majority of people in the United States were not optimistic about big ships.

Zha Dao nodded and said: "The movie is very good, but like many people said, it is too long, which is extremely unfriendly to the audience, and few people can sit still."

With the development of the times, fast-paced work and fast-paced lifestyle have gradually integrated into everyone's life.

Especially in the entertainment industry, many people watch movies for the pursuit of joy, and a movie is 195 minutes long, and the rhythm is very slow in the early stage. How can movie audiences who live in a fast-paced life easily accept it?

For this alone, this is the consensus of many industry insiders!

For example: "Heaven's Gate" produced in 1980, it is a movie made by Michael Misino, who won the Oscar for best director.

But how did it end?

"The 3-hour-long "Heaven's Gate" directly led to the bankruptcy of the nearly 100-year-old United Artists studio founded by the King of Comedy Chaplin!"

Otherwise, why do you think that after entering the 21st century, Hollywood movies are dominated by superhero movies, because it is a fast-paced movie that can be watched without a brain!

"Audiences watch movies to relax and spend time, not to see the so-called artistic pursuits that the directors say." Nolan said solemnly.

Zha Dao nodded immediately.

In fact, both of them are directors of the commercial film genre, but they are also one of the few directors who can add humanity and philosophical thinking to commercial films.

Zach Snyder's "300 Spartans," "Superman: Man of Steel," "Watchmen," and more;

Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, and more.

The two of them recognize Cameron's skills very much, because they are also rare commercial and artistic directors among commercial film directors.

......

At the same time, other audience members in the theater were also discussing the movie.

"The picture is beautiful!"

"Yeah, especially when Dawson and Ruth stood on the bow of the boat, the extremely beautiful sunset, the slowly flowing waves, and the shouting "I am the king of the world" were all beautiful."

"I don't deny what you said, but it was so long that I fell asleep just now."

"Hehe, Joel, me too."

......

Finally, under the discussion of the audience, the film entered the climax stage.

The big ship hits the iceberg and is about to sink!

"You jump, I jump!"

"Never give up, remember, Ruth. I will always love you!"

"Winning a ticket and getting on this boat...is the best thing in my life. It allowed me to meet you."

"I don't even have a picture of him, he just lives in my endless memories."

I have to say that the ending of the big ship completely attracted the attention of everyone present, even the extremely picky film critics.

"I am Dawson, Rose Dowson."

In your name, take my name!

This is the end of the "Titanic" movie, and it is the main theme, and the whole movie revolves around it.

The world's largest and largest ship has sunk, but the virtues, sentiments and kindness of human beings have not sunk. In this catastrophe of the century, it has radiated incomparably dazzling light! This is the spiritual civilization that human beings pursue together. In today's high-tech modern society, the value of this civilization is even more precious because it is even more lacking.

Therefore, audiences of different skin colors, different races, and different countries sighed together under the screen of the movie "Titanic", remembered together, and yearned for that era, the dream of that civilization, those great men, great women, those The sea will never drown and never sink the splendor of human nature.

Singing and crying love!

On another level, we have never had such love, so we yearn for obsession!

......

Is "Titanic" exciting?

Very wonderful!

However, as many people expected, because of its lengthy plot, it seriously dragged down its box office!

On December 19, 1997, the day of the premiere of "Titanic", it earned $28.63 million at the North American box office on its opening day!

The box office on this premiere day was not bad.

However, you must know that under the announcement of the two Hollywood giants Paramount and Fox, it achieved as high as 40% of the film volume on the day of its North American premiere!

At the same time, its publicity cost is unprecedentedly as high as 100 million US dollars, which is higher than that of "Jurassic Park"!

The production cost of 200 million US dollars, the publicity cost of 100 million US dollars, and the box office data of only 28.63 million US dollars, directly rounded up the two giants Paramount and Fox!

"Damn, the movie loses a lot!"

"Yeah, if the movie can't get more than $600 million at the box office, it will have a loss!"

"Dude, wake up. Only 40% of the film's schedule on the premiere day made $28.63 million at the box office. How much can you expect it to have at the global box office? If it can have $300 million, thank God!"

Immediately, no matter the film company or the major media, without exception, the prospects of the big ship were bad.

Wald Pictures.

CEO Victor's face was ugly, "Boss, the tens of millions of dollars we invested in the big ship project is estimated to be wasted."

Kevin Feige also smiled bitterly: "I just came from the theater, and the attendance rate of "Titanic" today is also very low. It is estimated that today's box office is even lower than that of the premiere day."

Hearing this, Zu Ke was happy.

Miserable? !

"Ding ding ding~!"

At this moment, Zucker received a call.

It was Zucker's chief assistant Alexander who called. He said: "Boss, Mr. DiCaprio's agent and himself, agreed to our offer and are willing to become the spokesperson for SpongeBob SquarePants."

"Okay, you can contact the company's finance department and legal department, and let them get the contract within three days, you know?" Zhu Ke ordered.

Why is Xiao Lizi willing to become the image spokesperson of SpongeBob SquarePants in order to accept the invitation?

Don't talk about friendship!

He just saw that the boat was weak, otherwise how could he sign this endorsement contract.
