Chapter two hundred and forty-eight attracting attention
"This is a movie with a very strong personal style. Although Ryan Jenkins provides conception and creativity, "Face Change" is a movie belonging to Wu. This director from the East repackages violence with beautiful pictures and romantic duels to create a pretty outstanding commercial film."
"The absurd background setting, the old fighting scenes and the flying white doves, "Face Change" is just a Hong Kong-style popular under the Hollywood system. Wu's style is too distinct and fixed. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of the two actors, this movie might have become Ryan Jenkins' Waterloo."
"Wu, will he succeed in a Oriental director who wants to conquer Hollywood with a flock of pigeons and 100 million bullets?"
After "Face Change" was released in North America, the media and film critics mixed praise, but no matter what, Bai Ge Wu's style has a very strong market in North America, especially among teenage audiences in a short period of time. With the box office appeal of Ryan, Nicholas Cage and John Travolta, the film still achieved good results in the traditional off-season of the film in April.
The first week was $33 million and the next week was $26 million. Such a box office result was enough to make "Face Change" top the North American weekly box office rankings for two consecutive weeks.
Ryan just paid a little attention and put it aside. Paramount Pictures will naturally do its best to operate the remaining publicity, marketing and overseas release work.
To be honest, Ryan is still a little worried. Overall, making money is not a big problem for this movie, but it seems a bit difficult to recover the cost in the North American market.
After instructing George to pay attention to the box office of the movie at any time, Ryan's attention turned to "Titanic", even if all the movies lost money this year, his aura would only increase but not decrease as soon as the ship came out.
The huge concert hall was empty, except for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra on the stage, there were less than ten people sitting in the first few rows.
"Let's get started."
After Ryan nodded, James Horner on the side of the stage made a gesture to the conductor on the stage. As the baton swung, the melodious music gradually sounded.
Norwegian female singer Sisel stood in front of the microphone and hummed a female voice like nature. She was as gentle and unruly as the wind in the valley, and was full of agility. The sadness of farewell and the feelings that seemed like a different world can easily remind people of the short but fiery love between Jack and Ruth.
"Perfect!"
After the orthodox orchestral music combined with the rich sound of Scottish bagpipes came to an end, Ryan had to sigh that he was worthy of being James Horner!
Even though Ryan copied "My Heart is Eternal", James Horner used the melody of this song as the core of the entire score. He created a distinctive and melodious tune in the form of orchestral melodies combined with Scottish bagpipes.
In particular, like in his previous life, he invited Cesl from Norway, and used her elegant and subtle and silent humming to enhance the appeal of the soundtrack, and used an emotional melody to tell a moving love legend. It is neither the tragic misery that fell into the cliché when it was used to express tragic scenes; it is also different from the style of deliberately unconventional and anti-trend styles in some films, but cleverly lays out the musical themes of joy, sorrow and rebirth, and uses it to tell people what is the eternal thing in human emotions.
Ryan asked himself that he had excellent musical literacy and had experiences from his previous life to base his foundation. He believed that the music he played would still become an eternal classic like a movie.
“Excellent!”
Although there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the truck driver and James Horner, work is work, and the soundtrack made by the other party is indeed excellent.
"James, the perfect soundtrack."
When James Horner came over, Ryan gave him a thumbs up.
"That's because of "My Heart Eternal" as the tone." James Horner said modestly and looked at James Cameron, "Director Cameron, do you satisfy what I did?"
"Well, I admit, no one can do better in this job than you." James Cameron obviously didn't want to put personal conflicts into his work.
Entering the end of April, as the soundtrack was recognized by Ryan and James Cameron, the production of "Titanic" has completely entered the final stage. In addition to the dubbing of individual clips and the addition of soundtrack letters, the work including special effects synthesis lenses has been announced to be completed.
Among them, James Cameron's complaints are naturally indispensable.
"Ryan, give me another 20 million dollars, no, it only takes ten million dollars, and I can make this movie more perfect!"
Walking out of the Los Angeles Concert Hall, James Cameron is still asking Ryan about investment.
"Then can you guarantee that the movie will be released at the scheduled time?" After knowing each other for so many years, Ryan knows the nature of this guy. "If I give you 20 million dollars, Jim, it won't take long, you will say 'If you give me 30 million dollars, the Titanic will definitely be an immortal masterpiece'."
James Cameron shrugged helplessly. He also knew that his request was a bit too much. To be honest, he has been filming many movies for so many years in Hollywood, but there are really not many partners who are so generous and in line with his own wishes.
To be precise, there should be only this one.
"Ryan, don't forget that there are still a few clips that you need to dub."
Before parting, James Cameron specifically instructed the statute, "By the way, don't forget to let Yahoo continue to build momentum on the Internet."
After 1997, the Internet was booming, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the rise of this new type of media was inevitable. Especially after Ryan opened his personal website, the surge in traffic made Hollywood fully realize the huge potential value of the Internet to the entertainment industry.
The crew of "Titanic" will naturally not ignore this publicity position. In addition, Ryan has a powerful online thug, Yahoo, and he has a natural advantage in this regard.
In fact, since the Oscars, the promotion and marketing of "Titanic" has entered the sprint stage, with major media full of news and reports about it, as well as media under the parent company of 20th Century Fox, which is making every effort to build momentum for the film.
Of course, the media under News Corporation still maintain their usual style, divided into two sides, fighting each other from afar, and maintaining enough popularity of the topic.
Yahoo has placed several website links about the Titanic shipwreck incident established by Ryan early on in a prominent position on the homepage, and even specially released an analysis column before and after the Titanic sinking.
In this column, the detailed specifications and navigation logs of the Titanic were released for the first time, as well as some photos and newspaper content from that year. At the same time, large-scale articles were used to remind that a movie about this shipwreck was about to be released soon.
After returning home, Ryan logged into his personal website. Since the establishment of this website, although he would go up and check it out from time to time, it was mostly time. It was managed by specialists from the broker team. After a long period of operation, this place can be regarded as a concentration of Ryan's fans.
Several stills from "Titanic" are hanging in prominent positions on the website, most of which are the bloody interaction posters of him and Kate Winslet, and the guys from the agent team are very good at choosing. These stills are all close-ups of Ryan's front or side. Not to mention the movie and acting skills, the handsome and resolute appearance alone is enough to attract countless girls to the theater.
"Is this the Titanic, which invested $250 million, is it a love story?"
"Looking at the poster, Ryan is so handsome, it's so charming."
"No matter what the movie is, I will go to the theater even for Ryan."
"Ryan is said to have no girlfriend yet, so we still have a chance."
"Support Titanic, support Ryan!"
"The movie will be released in more than a month, so we should prepare in advance."
"Ryan, we are the fan club in Los Angeles, and we have bought the box office in the Greater Los Angeles area..."
"Can Ryan talk about your role in detail..."
Needless to say, after the stills were hung up, the message board became a place for fans to graffiti. They expressed their support for the movie and idols in various ways.
"These guys!"
Ryan shook his head, but didn't care much. At this time, he was completely different from Xiao Li in his previous life. Not only was he a member of the academy and one of the Oscar judges, he had a huge influence in this circle, but he also specially brought Miramax, a public relations weapon. In addition, his acting skills that were recognized by most people, he would not be completely miserable.
Besides, in the next two years, Ryan plans to play a role of a makeover. If nothing unexpected happens, this huge image change will bring huge praise, and it may not be able to impact the little golden man.
Since he has logged into the website, Ryan might as well write something about the movie, which is very eye-catching.
"Titanic tells a love story in a disaster, just like what happened back then, which will show the glory of human nature in a shipwreck. In addition, there is also the shipwreck shot created by James Cameron for more than three years. It is absolutely real and shocking. When I went to try the clip, I was shocked to the point of being shocked."
"Everyone knows that the tyrant on the set is a pioneer of new film technology. This time he used unprecedented advanced technology and equipment..."
"As for my character, I am a painter full of romanticism, poor but optimistic... Well, I can't continue to say it, otherwise if I spoiled, I will be jointly claimed by the film company..."
There are many things, and Ryan wrote some behind-the-scenes and interesting stories about the shooting on it, most of which were bloody events that the public likes, such as James Cameron roaring at the scene of 300 decibels, such as Billy Zane's pet lizard being crushed by a trailer, etc.
Of course, Ryan is not a fool, and he writes all the harmless things, such as pairs of wild mandarin ducks always appear after a party, and they will never be revealed to the outside.
These information, which are often only circulated within the crew, not only attracted the attention of netizens, but also attracted the attention of some paper media. Some of them contacted Pai Jinsli and wanted to reprint it.
