Chapter 150 Sign the endorsement of Xiao Lizi
"I'm so sorry, I can't promise you now, Mr. Wald."
"You know, I have to discuss this with the agent. Of course, I really appreciate you for inviting me to be the image spokesperson for SpongeBob House."
Leonardo DiCaprio, who is only 23 years old, has to say that his emotional intelligence is very high, and even rejecting Zucker is so tactful, and he makes people feel fucked.
Zhuke didn't mind at all: "It doesn't matter. You should have a good chat with your agent in this kind of thing. I will always wait for your call. Of course, I will also take the initiative to invite you again."
You politely declined?
I'm just pretending to be confused, can't it?
"Well......"
Even the little Lizi, who has a high emotional intelligence, was frightened by Zhuke at this moment. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wald, you are really... in short, thank you very much for your invitation."
Zhuke immediately said, "Thank you for your thanks, this is a win-win situation. I want your popularity and pay you money. This is not a good thing. Don't rush to respond, I will have someone contact your agent tomorrow. Okay, let's talk about the movie first. "
You want to refuse directly, but there is no door!
I have said this to this point, can you still open your mouth and refuse?
It didn't take long.
The premiere of "Titanic" officially kicked off in the eyes of many guests.
During the movie watching, many people at the premiere were discussing it in a low voice.
"Nolan, what do you think of the movie?" Zach Schneider asked.
Hearing this, Nolan frowned and said, "I don't need to say much about director Cameron's film skills. Whether it is the conversion of the camera or the rendering of colors, they are extremely beautiful. At the same time, the male and female protagonists of the film abandon worldly love, which makes people yearn for infinitely."
"oh?"
Zach Schneider asked, "So you think the movie is great."
"Yes, I have no doubt about this!"
Nolan's tone was very firm and unexpected. After all, most people in the entire United States were not optimistic about the big ship.
Director Zha nodded and said, "The movie is very good, but as many people say, it's too long and it's extremely unfriendly to the audience, and few people can sit on it."
With the development of the times, fast-paced work and fast-paced lifestyle have gradually integrated into everyone's life.
Especially in the entertainment industry, many people watch movies just to pursue joy. A movie lasts 195 minutes and has a slow pace in the early stage. How can movie audiences who live in fast-paced life easily accept it?
In this alone, this is the consensus among many industry insiders!
For example: "Gate of Heaven" produced in 1980 is a film created by Michael Micino, the winner of the Academy Award for Best Director.
But what is the ending?
"The 3-hour "Gate of Heaven" directly led to the bankruptcy of Lianmei Film, which has a history of nearly a hundred years and was founded by the king of comedy Chaplin!"
Otherwise, why do you think Hollywood movies are mostly superhero movies after entering the 21st century? Because it is a fast-paced movie that can be watched without a brain!
"Audiences watch movies to relax and to spend time, rather than watching what the directors call artistic pursuits." Nolan said in a deep voice.
Director Zha nodded immediately.
In fact, both of them are directors of the commercial film type, but they are also one of the few directors who can add humanity and philosophical thinking to commercial films.
Zach Schneider's "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Superman: Man of Steel", "Watchman", etc.;
Christopher Nolan's "Batman Dark Knight Trilogy", "Inception", "Interstellar", etc.
The two of them highly recognize Cameron's skills because they are also rare directors of commercial films that combine both business and art.
.........
At the same time, other audiences in the theater were also discussing the movie.
“The picture is beautiful!”
"Yes, especially when Dawson and Ruth stood at the bow of the boat, the extremely beautiful sunset, the slowly flowing waves, shouting "I am the king of the world", all of which are very beautiful."
"I don't deny what you said, but it's too long and I just fell asleep."
"Haha, Joel, so do I."
.........
Finally, under the discussion of the audience, the film entered its climax.
The big ship hits an iceberg and is about to sink!
“You jump, jump!”
"Never give up, remember, Ruth. I will love you forever!"
"Winning the ticket and getting on this boat... is the best thing in my life. It allows me to meet you."
"I don't even have a picture of him, he only lives in my endless memory."
It has to be said that the end of the ship completely attracted the attention of everyone present, even the extremely picky film critics.
"I am Dawson, Rose Dowson (I am Dawson, Ruth Dawson)."
I will give you my name!
This is the end of the movie "Titanic", and it is also the main theme, and the whole film revolves around it.
The world's largest giant ship has sunk, but human virtues, human sentiments, and human nature's kindness has not sunk. It radiates extremely dazzling light in this great disaster of the century! This is the spiritual civilization pursued by mankind. In today's high-tech modern society, this civilization value is even more precious because it lacks it.
Therefore, audiences of different skin colors, different races and countries sighed together on the screen of the movie "Titanic", remembered together, and yearned for that era, that dream of civilization, those great men, great women, and those human brilliance that will never be destroyed and will never sink.
A heroic love!
From another perspective, we have never had such love, so we yearn for obsession!
.........
Is "Titanic" exciting?
Very wonderful!
However, as many people expected, because its too long plot has seriously dragged down its box office!
On December 19, 1997, the day of the premiere of "Tantenick", it achieved a North American box office of US$28.63 million on the premiere!
The box office on this premiere day looks pretty good.
However, you have to know that it achieved a screening volume of up to 40% on the day of its premiere in North America under the promotion of Paramount and Fox!
At the same time, its promotional and distribution costs are unprecedentedly high as 100 million US dollars, which is higher than "Jurassic Park"!
The production cost of US$200 million and the promotion cost of US$100 million, only US$28.63 million in box office data were obtained, which directly confused the two giants Paramount and Fox!
"Damn it, the movie is a big loss!"
"Yes, if the movie cannot get a box office of more than 600 million US dollars, it will cause losses!"
"Man, wake up. The premiere's 40% screening volume only achieved a box office of 28.63 million US dollars. How much can you expect to have global box office? Thank you for $300 million!"
Suddenly, both the film companies and major media have no exception to the prospects of the ship.
Wald Pictures.
CEO Victor's face looked ugly, "Boss, the tens of millions of dollars we invested in the big ship project will probably be wasted."
Kevin Feige also smiled bitterly: "I just came from the theaters, and the attendance rate of "Titanic" today is also very low. It is estimated that the box office today will be lower than the premiere day."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke was happy.
Have you lost a lot?!
"Ding Ding Ding ~!"
At this moment, Zucker received a call.
It was Alexander, the chief assistant of Zucker, who called him, and said: "The boss, Mr. DiCaprio's agent and himself, agreed to our offer and would be the image spokesperson for SpongeBob SquarePants House."
"Okay, please contact the company's finance department and legal department to make sure they have to settle the contract within these three days, do you know?" Zhuke ordered.
Why is Li Zi willing to become the image spokesperson of SpongeBob SquarePants House in order to accept the invitation?
Don't talk about friendship!
He simply saw that the ship was weak, otherwise how could he sign this endorsement contract?
Chapter completed!
