Li Te's mobile phone has been completely blown up by the media's phone call in the interview these days. He was so annoyed that he had to turn off his phone, but the phone followed him to Amg's office. Assistant Fury did nothing in the past two days and was busy helping Li Te answer the phone all day long.

Li Tefu, who had not appeared in the company for more than a week, immediately became entangled by Fury.

"Mr. Li Te, this is the phone reservation record in the past few days, with a total of 387 records, and 163 media want to conduct exclusive interviews with you."

Li Te took the phone record full of five pages, looked around and threw it into the wastebasket beside him.

"Let them all go hell!"

Fury was stunned for a moment. He knew that Litt didn't like to deal with the media, but this time there were many top media such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal on the list of media that wanted to interview Litt. Litt refused and said he refused.

Fury trotted and chased Lit, and advised behind him: "Mr. Lit, are you thinking about it again? In the future, the company needs to maintain a good relationship with the media whether it is promoting movies or launching newcomers. Although their actions some time ago were indeed a bit too much, there is no need for us to make the relationship so stiff."

Lite, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around. Fury had no time to hold on and almost hit Lite.

"Before that, how do you think of my relationship with the media?"

“It’s awful.”

"Then why are they all so proactive in interviewing me now? You know that many of these people were the ones who scolded me the most a while ago. Don't they hate me? They hate me very much, but they still have to try their best to please me. This is the media! In my opinion, there are only two ways to deal with the media. Either make them like you or make them hate you, and it is very difficult to make all the media like you. But it is very simple to make all the media hate you."

Lite left Fury to continue thinking about these words at the door, and pushed the door open and entered the office.

It's no wonder that the media is so keen to interview Li Te. Now that I open a newspaper casually, all the big and small pages are basically occupied by various topics about the movie "Titanic". Although the box office of 300 million US dollars in North America is still quite noticeable from the highest box office record, the performance of "Titanic" over the past period of time has still shocked everyone.

"Titanic" has been released for ten weeks, and it still firmly occupies the championship in the North American weekly box office list. No one knows how long this amazing performance will last.

Lite, who may know the answer, now refuses to accept interviews from any media, but this still does not stop everyone from curiosity about this matter. Some media took a different approach and found new clues from the betting agreement signed by Lite Cameron and Fox.

When this betting agreement was exposed, no one believed that the global box office of a movie could really reach $1 billion. Everyone thought it was a compromise Cameron made to the producers to ensure that the film could be successfully completed.

But now the situation is different. "Titanic" has accumulated a total of nearly $600 million in box office worldwide, and mainstream media have cautiously expressed their views, believing that "Titanic" may indeed become the most popular movie in film history.

Then the problem arises. When Lite suggested that Cameron and Fox sign a betting agreement, they should have an accurate prediction of the box office of "Titanic". According to the estimates of professional institutions, as long as the global box office of "Titanic" can reach more than 700 million US dollars, investors can completely recover the cost. Why did Lite set the betting conditions at $1 billion? He could set this box office target lower, so that Cameron will have a greater grasp of winning.

Follow this doubt and explore the contents of the second half of the betting agreement surfaced.

According to the agreement between Cameron and Fox, the global box office of "Titanic" is only more than $1 billion. Cameron can not only receive the part of the reward he should receive as a director and producer, but also for every 100 million extra box office, Cameron can share the extra 1% of the box office.

According to this content, if the box office of Titanic eventually exceeds $2 billion, Fox would have to pay Cameron an additional $200 million. Without the box office of $1 billion, Fox would not have signed such an agreement with Cameron.

Whether Fox is regretting signing this bet agreement with Cameron now, the media does not care. What they care about is that Lite makes such bet suggestions to Cameron as an agent, so he should consider the matter from the perspective of striving for Cameron to maximize his interests.

If the global box office of "Titanic" is only a little more than $1 billion, then the risks and gains that Cameron bears in this betting agreement are disproportionate. Only when the global box office of "Titanic" far exceeds $1 billion will Cameron become the biggest winner in the betting.

The media came to a surprising conclusion: Litt's global box office expects that the Titanic will be at least $1.5 billion, otherwise he would not incite Cameron to sign such a bet agreement with Fox.

This conclusion immediately caused huge controversy across the United States. Although the global box office of "Titanic" has exceeded 600 million US dollars, it is still far from $1.5 billion. If Li Te really thinks so, it can only mean that he is a completely crazy person.

Those who were unwilling to fail caught the last straw, and for a moment, various topics of mocking Li Te in the newspapers were once again rampant.

The public opinion offensive of "Titanic" was staged again in the early stages of its release. The only difference is that most mainstream media learned lessons this time and did not rush to express their opinions.

Because all the conclusions that Lite believes that "Titanic" will achieve a box office of $1.5 billion are speculations, as long as Lite stands up and denies it, the matter can be calmed down immediately.

The mainstream media in North America have been slapped in the face by Li Te with facts, and of course they don’t want to be beaten again.

But what is puzzling is that Li Te has always remained silent about this matter, neither denying nor acknowledging it, which has made some media want to report it but dare not report it, and can only wait like this.

Lite's abnormal reaction also attracted the attention of some people. Cameron even called Lite because of this. No one knew what the two said on the phone, but the staff around Cameron found that since the call, Cameron had been in a good mood for several days.

The media that is unknown is still speculating that almost all laymen and experts are not optimistic about the final box office of "Titanic" exceeding $1.5 billion, because that is simply an impossible goal.

But this time, everyone underestimated the terrifying strength of "Titanic" as a gold-sucking monster. In the next few weeks, the film continued to earn a strong performance of no less than 25 million a week, constantly stimulating everyone's nerves that were about to be completely numb.

Finally, after winning the North American weekly box office championship for 15 weeks, "Titanic" was squeezed out of the throne by a newly released movie, but it still firmly occupies the top 10 list. This is the North American box office of "Titanic" has approached $500 million, and the global box office is close to $900 million, which is a break from "Jurassic Park".

It was also at this time that Los Angeles Times reporter Josh walked into Little's office again.

After obtaining Lit's consent, Josh began recording the conversation between the two.

"Why did you choose to remain silent after the release of Titanic?"

"Then what should I say? In fact, before the release of this movie, I have said everything I should say. "Titanic" will create a box office record that everyone unexpectedly wants. Breaking through $1 billion is just the beginning, and the end of this movie is much more than that."

"Now some of your prophecies have become reality, but I really want to know why you made such a judgment when everyone was not optimistic about this movie half a year ago?"

"To answer your question, first of all, I have to mention the prototype of the story of "Titanic". In 1912, the British built the largest ship in the world at that time to prove to the world the strength of British industry. Coincidentally, more than 80 years later, Hollywood spent the most expensive cost ever to make this story into a movie. Do you think this is a coincidence? I don't think it's a coincidence. There are inevitable historical factors in the birth of Titanic. By the same token, the birth of Titanic, including the box office miracle it is creating now, is also historical necessity."

"The last decade of the late 20th century can be said to be the golden decade for the development of Hollywood commercial films. Not only in the United States, the box office of commercial films has been rising steadily, but the proportion of box office in overseas markets in the total box office of a movie is also expanding. Do you know what this means? This means that in the past decade, Hollywood commercial films have begun to occupy the film market in other countries on a large scale. "Jurassic Park" released in 1993 is the most convincing representative of this global expansion. This movie has set a new and rapid record in many countries and regions around the world. In the following years, the Hollywood film industry has developed rapidly and rapidly. When this situation develops to the extreme, a movie that is unprecedented will inevitably be born, standing at the peak of the film industry and proving the strength of the Hollywood film industry to the world."

"It's like a volcano that keeps accumulating strength, and once it erupts, it will show amazing power. "Titanic" is such a movie. From the beginning of knowing the existence of this movie, I had a premonition that it has become the most incredible film miracle of this century, and I still have this view."
