Hollywood Drawing - Chapter 629

Throughout January 1998, the media were hot on two aspects, one of which must be the incredible box office trend of “Titanic”, and the other is that two world-class Hollywood directors will soon be in the form of a combination. , to the highest music hall in North America, Grammy’s award-winning stage.

In fact, not to mention professional musicians, even the North American public can hear that Wayne Greenberg and George Lucas sing the song “something just like this” as a hobby at most Among the singers, the performance is good, and the gap with professional singers and singers is very large.

But so what? In the hot summer, this song has successfully moved the entire North America and countless families. Because of this song and the short documentary, it has entered the theater countless times.

The singing of Wayne and George Lucas has been constantly mentioned during this period, and at the same time, it also perfectly sets off the professionalism of another singer, that is, Celine Dion.

Two weeks after the complete release of “Titanic”, the film went against the market rules, as if it had just begun, and had no intention of stopping at all.

According to the latest announcement released by 20th Century Fox, the film has been screened in more than 3,000 theaters, and has been directly expanded to nearly 3,400 by theater companies. You know, in this era, this scale has been It’s the top of the line.

Not only the screening scale, but as long as it joins the theaters that show “Titanic”, the theater managers almost increase the filming rate for this film. The filming rate of the theaters in the center of mainstream commercial districts has exceeded 7% of the horror. Ten, almost every less than ten minutes, there will be a big ship showing.

When the film came to the third week of its release, people suddenly realized that “Titanic” had formed a social topic, and the emergence of the movie-watching frenzy also pushed this film to the third time. The throne of the weekly box office champion.

Whether it is the strong and stable “Good Will Hunting” or the little dark horse “Starship Troopers”, they are completely crushed by this big ship and cannot see a shadow. The only choice for people to enter the theater is to watch “Titanic” again and again.

When this film successfully won its fourth weekly box office championship, its box office potential will be fully released. In fact, all the practitioners in the Hollywood circle are staring at this unprecedented box office miracle. Even Wayne, who was hiding in the Warners late stage studio, heard the discussions in his ears all about “Titanic” ” at the box office.

The stable and scary box office trend actually has some luck factors. In the beginning of 1998, whether it was Thanksgiving or Christmas, there were no competitive films other than Good Will Hunting, which was also the reason for the movie-watching frenzy of Titanic.

So when three weeks have passed, the North American box office of this big ship has reached 260 million US dollars without any accident, but this is just the beginning, and it is far from reaching the end, because the box office trend of “Titanic”, Stable is completely unscientific.

With this big ship sailing overseas, the growth of the overseas box office is even more incredible than that of North America. In just two weeks, the overseas box office of “Titanic” was reported to be 270 million US dollars, many in the circle. Everyone understands that the film already has the prospect of recovering its investment at the box office and even generating a profit.

And with this big ship crushing the world, it is undoubtedly the explosion of the ending song “My Heart Will Go On”. Celine Dion herself probably never thought that after years of struggling in the music circle, she would rely on a The ending song of the movie became popular all over the world and became one of the top divas in North America in one fell swoop.

It is precisely the explosion of Celine Dion and “My Heart Will Go On”, which further reflects the amateurism of Wayne and George Lucas. No way, these two songs are mentioned by the media and audience this awards season. At most, it is normal to be put together for comparison.

A singer who is on a par with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, compared to the two Hollywood directors who play tickets, there is a lot of joy in it. Relatively speaking, whether it is media hype or public opinion Talking about it with relish, in fact, all of them have good intentions, and no one is stupid. They really use the singing level to evaluate this song “something just like this”.

“Shit, ‘Titanic’ won the box office for five weeks in a row!”

The time came to January 25, 1998. In the living room of Greenberg Manor, we welcomed a special guest today. George Lucas, the father of Star Wars, leaned on the sofa with a bottle of beer in his hand, and scanned the room from time to time. Glancing at the picture on the TV, the murmuring in his mouth did not stop.

“Twentieth Century Fox is going to make a lot of money this time, even if the movie won five consecutive weeks of champions, and the original soundtrack released at the same time, relying on the song “My Heart Will Go On”, also on the bulletin board, completed the sales Five times in a row. Damn, I’ve heard people make fun of me every day for a while now, saying that my singing voice is like a duck with a hoarse voice compared to Celine Dion!”

“Hey, George.”

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Wayne raised the bottle with deep feeling and touched the Father of Star Wars. “Trust me, my experience on this is exactly the same as yours.”

The dialogue and expressions of the two big directors who were like urchins caused a burst of laughter from several people in the living room. In the beginning, it was just because of Grammy’s list of nominations. Later, with the explosion of “My Heart Will Go On”, there was a good media that put together the two most popular songs and compared them.

No way, the gap between the two groups of voices is too big, it is because of the large gap that this topic is fired up, and a little later, even the staff and relatives and friends around them are talking about this topic every day ridicule.

George Lucas waved the bottle angrily when he saw the laughter from everyone. “Damn, the two of us will walk on the Grammy stage and get that **** gramophone!”

“That’s right, George.” Wayne also enjoyed the rare moment of relaxation. He then clapped his hands with the father of Star Wars beside him, looked at everyone and said, “You are just jealous of our talents, we will get it The **** gramophone.”

The two great directors, who were full of sandy breaths, directly amused everyone. Only Little Fendi, who was sitting on the carpet with the little bully dog, blinked his big eyes and looked at his father curiously, and let out a giggle. laughter.

“Don’t swear in front of Fendi!” Naomi Watts covered her mouth, forcibly suppressed her smile, and gave the two men a hard look.

“This is the first time I’ve seen the boss in this state.” On the other side of the sofa, Sofia Coppola, who was sitting with Nina, looked at the two big directors with surprise, as if she had suddenly discovered New World same. “I thought he would just put on an ice cube face.”

The assistant shrugged, closed the fashion magazine in her hand, pushed the glasses on her face habitually, and glanced at the TV. It was found that the Denver Broncos were still anxious with the Green Bay Packers, and it was a while before the halftime commercial show. Obviously, this very conservative game made most people in the living room feel sleepy.

“Sophia, I’ve been the boss’ assistant since 1990.”

A look of memory flashed in front of Nina’s eyes, and she whispered with the girl who got along well with her. “Over the years, I have discovered a pattern, it seems that the director with higher achievement will appear more childlike at certain special times, um, just like the current “Father of DC” and the father of Star Wars, your father Is that the case too?”

Sofia Coppola rolled her eyes. Is this called innocence? Shaking his head directly and killing her, he would not admit that his father also had such a foolish moment.

“Well, as far as I know, the boss, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, will be like this at some point.” Nina’s face flashed a playful light, and whispered : “In my impression, even more incredible things have happened…”

Obviously, gossip is what women like to talk about the most. The assistant’s words not only successfully attracted Sofia Coppola, but also made Naomi Watts come over. Even the housekeeper Hela, who was standing by the side, silently moved. to their position.

“I remember whether it was at the end of 1992 or the beginning of 1993. That’s about the time.” Seeing the three ladies around, with gossip glittering in their eyes, Nina’s expression remained unchanged and she continued to break the news in a low voice. “It seems to be a reception of some kind of activity, forget it, none of these matters.

The status of the boss was not comparable to that of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, but the three of them already knew each other at that time, and the latter two were very optimistic about the boss. The three of them drank too much at the party that time, and then…”

“Ms. Nina Klein, if you keep talking, the bonus is gone!”

The **** of the ladies caught Wayne’s attention. Although he and George Lucas had been drinking and watching the game~www.mtlnovel.com~ waiting for the start of the halftime commercial, but the assistant The lady only said the beginning, and he understood what it was.

“It’s okay, go on, Nina.”

Naomi Watts waved her white fists threateningly at Wayne, and turned her head to look at the assistant lady expectantly.

Nina shrugged, directly ignoring her boss’s threat, and continued in a low voice: “Steven Spielberg was filming the first Jurassic Park movie because he had to work hard to get ahead of himself. Time to shoot Schindler’s List, so George Lucas has been helping.

After the three of them drank too much, they ran to the special effects studio of “Jurassic Park” together, where the dinosaur models were placed indoors. The boss wanted to see how the mechanical dinosaur worked, so he put his head into the mouth of the dinosaur model.

In order to make a joke, Mr. Spielberg quietly closed the mouth of the dinosaur, and the boss’s head got stuck in the mouth of the dinosaur model on the spot. I didn’t expect that the mechanical dinosaur really broke down and couldn’t open its mouth. So the three big directors forced the dinosaur’s mouth open! ”

Several women listened to the incredible gossip of the Hollywood director, with a look of “Is this the big man in the circle?”

Nina spread her hands, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and continued: “As you know, I always follow behind the boss, so this is what I saw with my own eyes. Afterwards, these three people drank too much. The big director, like a child, fled the scene as quickly as possible, for fear of being discovered by the staff that the mechanical dinosaur model was broken by them…”

“Shit, the first half is over, ladies, the halftime show is about to begin…”

“Wayne! Don’t swear in front of Fendi!”
