Chatty Hollywood

At this time, it was already December 19, 1997.

After Cameron's finicky post-production, "Titanic" was finally released.

Originally, due to the long post-production and high costs, the creative team, including Cameron, lost confidence.

——After all, according to the current cost, this movie will not have a global box office of more than 800 million, and it will be difficult to recover the cost, let alone anything else.

Therefore, they once considered not to premiere in the United States at all, but to premiere it directly in Japan, so that they could temporarily avoid the vicious tongue of North American audiences.

——Although this is just deceiving others.

But, because of Charlotte, things changed again.

——In preparation, it’s because of Charlotte’s incarnation as Patrick Jane.

Because Patrick Jane once helped exorcise ghosts on the "Titanic" crew, which turned the crew's reputation into adoration. Even the stubborn industrialist Cameron has some trust in him.

So when it came time to decide when and where to premiere the film, producer Jon Landau called up Patrick Jane for input.

Although to a large extent, this is no different from asking a master to choose a name after giving birth to a child, but when he is ill and seeks medical treatment in a hurry, and is generally looked down upon, Mr. Producer no longer cares whether his idea is reliable.

——A bad idea is better than no idea, right?

What's more, the opinions given by Patrick Jane or Charlotte are very reliable——

"It would be best if the movie "Titanic" premieres simultaneously in the United Kingdom and the United States! After all, that big ship set sail from the United Kingdom to the United States."

Well, this statement sounds very reasonable, so reasonable that Jon Landau can't refute it.

Of course, as the "master", Charlotte's incarnation, Patrick Jane, did not fail to give his own professional opinions -

"Although the undead that the "Titanic" crew encountered before were not powerful, they were still the dead on that big ship."

“They didn’t arrive at their destination while alive, so does that allow them to arrive after death?”

"Having it released simultaneously in the UK and the US is, to a certain extent, their arrival - it helps put them to rest."

It should be said that the reasons behind Patrick Jane are very convincing to Jon Landau.

After all, unlike Cameron who is always dubious about Patrick, Mr. Producer believes in "Master Patrick".

At the same time, he was really afraid of the dead souls on the Titanic.

No way, the crew's filming went smoothly before and after Patrick Jane's exorcism -

Before the exorcism, it can be said that everything was not going well. The main creative members kept getting sick. The heroine Kate Winslet even got pneumonia from soaking in sea water. Coupled with a series of minor accidents, Jon Landau doubted whether they could go smoothly. Finished the movie;

After the exorcism, everyone on the crew became much healthier, and minor accidents no longer occurred. Although Cameron is still annoyingly fastidious as a director, the shooting speed is ultimately much faster.

In fact, if the later computer special effects production had not been too troublesome, the release of "Titanic" would not have been delayed until now.

Therefore, in the eyes of Jon Landau, the exorcism was still very useful.

And Charlotte's incarnation, Patrick Jane, is also a true psychic master.

In this case, why not ask a great master for guidance?

Anyway, due to the repeated increase in costs and the general disapproval of industry insiders, Jon Landau has completely lost confidence.

Now that there is a glimmer of hope, even if it sounds completely unreliable, he will hold on to it like a drowning man holding on to a floating straw...

In short, because of Charlotte or Patrick Jane's remarks, "Titanic" became a simultaneous premiere in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Half of the film's creative staff are based in the UK and half in the US, and each attended the premiere.

Because I happen to be staying in the UK recently,

Charlotte and Charlize were also invited.

Naturally, Charlotte didn't want to miss the premiere of this classic movie in film history, and Charlize was currently bored, so she came too.

"However, there are so many people from the "Titanic" crew here in the UK!"

Charlotte sighed——

At the premiere in London, in addition to the local heroine Kate Winslet, there were also many supporting actors in the film.

——This is normal. After all, in the movie, the Titanic sailed from Southampton, England to the United States, and there were naturally a large number of British actors in it.

——According to the unwritten rules of Hollywood, the person who plays the role of the British guy should also be a pure British person.

But director James Cameron was also here, and he was still in the mood to chat with her about anecdotes about reshooting scenes, which made Charlotte a little confused——

"Actually, Leonardo also wanted to come to the UK! It's just that he and the producer Mr. Landau failed in the draw."

After filming "Titanic", Kate Winslet, who has never completely lost weight, smiled and said,

"In the United States, there is a lot of criticism of this film!"

"So, are you coming to England to escape the war?"

Charlotte understood somewhat.

"I am originally British!"

Kate Winslet shrugged;

"Mr. Director is the one who really comes to hide from peace!"

"..."

Seeing Winslet's gloating eyes, Charlotte didn't know what to say.

According to various gossips, he knew that Kate Winslet respected Cameron, but did not like him very much——

The news that "Ruth" no longer plans to cooperate with Cameron is not a secret in the industry.

From Charlotte's point of view, this is normal——

Given Cameron's picky directing style, few actors could stand to work with him repeatedly.

"I guess apart from Linda Hamilton, who has lived with him for ten years, only the future governor can tolerate him, right?"

Charlotte thought to herself.

However, this should not be the reason for Kate Winslet's attitude in front of Cameron!

You know, as the heroine of "Titanic", Winslet is actually a member of this "big ship".

——"The ship sank", she is not like "Ruth" in the movie, there is a possibility of survival.

The filming of "Titanic" cost a lot of money. If it fails at the box office, her career in Hollywood will basically be ruined.

In this case, shouldn't she and Cameron share the same hatred?

Charlotte was confused.

However, after looking at James Cameron, who looked indifferent across from him, and at the cast members with gloomy faces around them, Charlotte probably understood——

These guys, shouldn't they be broken?

"This is truly a desperate departure!"

Charlotte sighed in her heart.

And with this atmosphere that can be said to be desperate or tragic, the premiere of "Titanic" begins...
