Heads Up Hollywood

Bill McNick is a veteran of Fox Films. With his qualifications, even if he messes up "Titanic", it won't have much impact on his status.

Just like in the previous life, reducing the capital investment in "Titanic", bringing in other film companies to share the risk, reducing publicity costs, selling distribution rights, and avoiding the loss of Fox Films in advance through a series of means.

But it's different now, Bill McNick made a big mistake inexplicably, he arbitrarily appointed an eighteen-year-old kid as the director!

Such a mistake, no matter how many legends there are in his credit book, it is impossible to gain the trust of Murdoch and News Corporation.

So now there is only one way for Bill McNick to go, and that is to make mistakes!

Put all the resources into the movie "Titanic", use the strong publicity and distribution capabilities of Fox Films to build momentum for the movie, and completely turn it around!

Since some people think he is blind, then Bill McNick wants them to see that he is a man with good eyesight!

Even though Bill McNick didn't know much about Tang En and didn't trust him much, he still had to stand behind him and support him vigorously.

Fortunately, this movie met Bill McNick's psychological expectations.

"Every night, I look at you, I perceive you, I cross that spiritual space, read your heart, and wait for your arrival..."

As Celine Dion's melodious and melodious singing came, the internal projection room of Fox Films turned on the lights.

I don't know who started first, a series of warm applause resounded throughout the auditorium.

In addition to the top executives of Fox Films, some of Bill McNick's friends in the circle, they all stood up and applauded to congratulate each other.

It's a fantastic movie, there's no doubt about it!

Bill McNick heaved a sigh of relief. The long-term mental pressure finally slowed down a lot at this moment. With a happy smile on his face, he walked quickly towards Cameron and held him with both hands, "Jamie, You did a great job, this is the pinnacle of commercial cinema!"

Like Bill McNick, other industry professionals got up and walked over to Cameron, their eyes glowing and admiring.

"James, this movie of yours has changed my view on special effects! I believe that this movie will mark a new era like "Star Wars"!"

"I admit, I have always recognized your ability, James. But I have to say, before that, I still underestimated you too much. This movie is extraordinarily exciting!"

"I was stunned for three hours! Jamie, you know, this movie gave me a feeling of dislocation in time and space, especially the last scene, the performance of Leonardo and Kate, is too wonderful!"

...

Almost everyone gathered around the film's producer, James Cameron, with praises one after another, and everyone shook hands with him excitedly.

Obviously, they didn't believe that Tang En Walker, who was only eighteen years old, could shoot such profound, perfect, and deeply rooted works.

Behind all this must be James Cameron!

Tang En looked at this scene with a smile. It would be a lie if he said it wasn't bitter.

For this movie, he paid no less than Cameron!

Grant sighed and came to him, "Twain, you are still young, as long as you have strength, you will be recognized by everyone sooner or later."

"I see."

Tang En let out a sigh of relief, but he laughed a little more at himself.

Isn't it the approval of these Hollywood people, is it so necessary? Looking at the entire United States, how high is Hollywood?

Tang En has a great dream in his heart, he didn't come to Hollywood to work, he wants to create a myth of his own!

As for the professionals in front of them who are flattering and flattering for Bill McNick's face, what are they?

No matter what, the director contract signed by Tang En is effective. After the basic salary of 5 million US dollars is obtained, 10% of the global box office share will definitely not be less.

This money will be his first pot of gold!

Jim Ganopoulos, the production executive at Fox Pictures, was happy on the surface, but equally gloomy on the inside.

The movie "Titanic" is promising, and it is not in his personal interest.

Once Bill McNick steps down, Tom Rothman will definitely take over as CEO, and he has a good relationship with the big boss Murdoch, and he is likely to take over as the president of Fox Films.

But looking at the current situation... no matter what the box office of "Titanic" will be after its release, word of mouth will definitely be very good.

In fact, from Jim Ganopoulos' own point of view, this movie... won't be too bad at the box office.

"Tom, it seems that everyone is very optimistic about this movie." Jim Ganopoulos said to Tom Rothman with a smile.

Tom Rothman looked disdainful, "They can't represent the fans! This movie is more than three hours long!"

Jim Ganopoulos said with a smile: "But word of mouth will be very good, there should be no doubt."

Tom Rothman snorted coldly, "The Shawshank Redemption also has a good reputation!"

...

After leaving the screening hall, Cameron walked over with an embarrassed expression, "Twain, I'm sorry."

Tang En understood what he meant, he didn't care, and said with a smile: "James, you deserve it."

Cameron looked a little annoyed, "They...they are discriminating against age!"

Tang En shook his head and didn't say anything. Anyway, it would be nice if he got the money.

Cameron was still a little bit aggrieved, "Twain, although there was some misunderstanding between us at first, I think the cooperation for more than half a year is still very pleasant, especially your judgment, which has proved to be very effective. In this regard, I am not as good as you!"

Tang En waved his hand, "James, you know it. I don't mind these things. What I am most concerned about now is whether the box office can reach 1.8 billion, so as not to make people all over the world laugh!"

Cameron couldn't help laughing, "Who told you to talk big? But Bill has promised me that he will use all resources to promote "Titanic". The overwhelming publicity campaign will continue until A month after the movie came out."

"Oh?" Tang En's eyes lit up, "Did he say how many theaters there will be in the first week?"

Cameron looked at Tang En in confusion, "Does it need to be said? A commercial blockbuster with such a large investment can at least get 3,500 screens, right? Maybe 4,000?"

Tang En laughed immediately, very happily.

His appearance, after all, changed history and the fate of "Titanic".

Historically, "Titanic" was released on the Christmas file, and the publicity was insufficient. There were only 2,800 theaters in the first week, and many people didn't even know that it was a romance movie.

So much so that the box office of such a blockbuster that shocked film history was only more than 30 million U.S. dollars in the first week, which is surprising.

Fortunately, relying on the movie's super reputation, beautiful love, and shocking special effects, after a long period of word-of-mouth transmission, it finally formed a huge influence all over the world, and the box office exploded and became out of control.

Seeing Cameron and Twain walking out of Fox Films together, several reporters immediately surrounded them.

"Mr. Cameron, what do you think of Director Walker's directing ability?"

"Are you still dissatisfied with him taking your director position?"

"What do you think of Tang En's wild claim of a guarantee of 1.8 billion US dollars?"

...

Cameron glanced at Tang En, who was calm and seemed to have nothing to do with him, "The trailer of the movie will be broadcast on major TV stations across the United States at the same time tonight, and I want to tell everyone that the movie is far more exciting than the trailer! As for Twain... the box office and the quality of the film will explain everything!"

"Mr. Walker, it is said that Mr. Jon Landau, one of the producers of "Titanic", does not recognize your ability and thinks that you are likely to screw up the project of the century. What do you think of this?"

"Jon Landau?"

Tang En and Cameron looked at each other, both showing some surprise.

Jon Landau was fired by Fox Films a long time ago, just for his reputation, and it was not made public. But he didn't expect that he would dare to gossip about the topic of "Titanic"?

"You want to step on me and climb up, Jon Landau, do you really think I'm a bully?"

Tang En felt faintly angry in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just said calmly and calmly, "Titanic will not sink!"

It is powerful and loud!
