Due to Charlie's Angels trio busy with the global promotion of "Charlie's Angels 2", they finally failed to catch up with the filming of "Casino Royale" in Italy.
Therefore, the originally planned one-month Italian filming cycle ended two days before the opening of the Venice Film Festival, and the crew began to transfer to the UK, the last stop of the filming. The opening ceremony of the 53rd Venice Film Festival and the premiere of "Titanic" that night.
Cameron returned to Los Angeles at the beginning of the month. With the support of Firefly Records, he rushed to work and successfully completed the recording of "My Heart Will Go On" in three weeks. The singer he chose was still Celine Dion. Under the intervention, the song is almost the same as the original version, and a new copy of the film with the modified ending song was also sent to Los Angeles the day before the opening ceremony on September 28.
These days, because the crew of "Casino Royale" is filming in Venice, "Titanic", the most expensive film in history, will premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and the Venice Film Festival itself, the city of Venice is extremely lively. The media, who are not too interested in the film festival, have come from all over the world for the above reasons.
At the same time, when he came back again, Cameron was not alone. Because Katzenberg happened to be going to France in the past few days to handle some affairs in Paris Disneyland, he also followed him. However, Katzenberg and Katzenberg Mellon's relationship is not very good. Both of them are the kind of hot-tempered and stubborn guys. Eric has no intention of bringing the two together for the time being, as long as they don't fight. After all, it is not a personal conflict between two people, one is for the company and the other is for the film. Therefore, as long as the future box office performance of "Titanic" can meet expectations, Eric will come forward to mediate at that time. The grudge will be eliminated naturally.
September 28.
As the opening film, the premiere of "Titanic" is scheduled for seven o'clock in the afternoon local time.
After attending the opening ceremony of the film festival during the day, Eric showed his face a little at the subsequent reception, and left in a hurry to join the preparations for the premiere of "Titanic".
Just after 6:00 pm, outside the Lido Island Movie Palace, a large number of media reporters and movie fans had gathered on both sides of the long red carpet, which seemed to be more lively than the opening ceremony during the day.
Although most of the management of Firefly Group are not very optimistic about "Titanic", with Eric's strong support, the company still invested a large amount of publicity budget for "Titanic". The premiere was more popular, and everyone including Eric tried their best to contact the star guests who could participate in the premiere.
In addition to most of the judges of the Venice Film Festival jury and all the main creators of "Titanic", it also includes Liam Neeson, Dustin Hoffman, Pierce Brosnan, Nicolas Cage, Bridget Fonda, Holly Hunter, Sophie Marceau, Juliette Binoche and other heavyweight Hollywood and European stars, even though many people are watching "Titanic", when these guests appear on the red carpet , It still frequently caused the fans to scream and the media reporters to take crazy pictures.
As the host, Eric appeared with Katzenberg and Cameron at the beginning of the red carpet. The three of them walked through the red carpet. After taking pictures in the media area, they briefly answered a few questions and then entered the movie palace to welcome The guests who came to join us.
"Hey Liam, great to have you here, I heard the judges really liked your Michael Collins this time around, good luck."
"Oh, Bridget, you are still so beautiful... Of course, if there is a chance for the next movie, I will definitely ask you to cooperate."
"Cage, I thought you might not have time."
After a series of greetings, Eric had just sent Nicolas Cage into the movie palace, and Sophie Marceau, who was wearing a long black dress with a lazy attitude, walked over. Sophie had hardly changed from a few years ago , with smooth black hair, watery eyes, delicate face, and a very comfortable smile.
"Hi, Sophie, long time no see," Eric walked up to the girl and stretched out his hands slightly. After filming "Braveheart", although Sophie took on several roles in Hollywood, the two never saw each other again A few times, this time Eric only called tentatively, thinking that if he hadn't contacted for a long time, the other party would refuse, but Sophie agreed.
Gently hugged Eric, Sophie let him go, but there was a slight dissatisfaction on her face: "Eric, I almost don't want to pay attention to you anymore."
"Oh, may I know why?" Eric pretended to be shocked.
Sophie rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you still remember what you promised me back then?"
Eric intentionally showed a puzzled expression, and seeing the girl wrinkle her nose angrily, he quickly said: "Okay, of course I remember, Bond girl, but I'm really sorry, Sophie, the production strategy of the 007 series has done a lot. Big adjustment, this sequel doesn't have a Bond girl villain, so you'll just have to wait until the next one."
"Okay, I forgive you for the sake of you still remembering this." Sophie waved her hand at him, and then she smiled sweetly: "I thought you were just trying to coax women Just forget it."
"Oh, it's really sad for you to think so," Eric said with a look of injury, "but, well, this is actually my fault, and I forgot to notify you in advance, so give me How about a chance to apologize?"
"I'm curious about how you plan to apologize." Sophie glanced at him coquettishly, and added: "Mr. Richest Man in the World, it's okay to be insincere."
"No problem," Eric said straightforwardly, "I'll buy the Eiffel Tower tomorrow and have it delivered to your home."
Sophie looked disgusted: "I don't want second-hand goods."
"Okay, then build a new one in your yard."
"Hehe," Sophie laughed happily. Seeing a few more guests appearing at the entrance, she stopped joking and waved her hand to Eric: "Go ahead and greet the guests, I'll go in first."
Eric nodded, and said again: "Let's have dinner together when we have time."
Sophie nodded and said, "Well, as long as you have time, I know that you are a busy person."
"For a beauty like you, I can spare time when I'm busy."
"Oh, sweet words," Sophie smiled and slapped Eric lightly, turned around and walked in without saying anything.
Eric withdrew his gaze and greeted the guests again, but this time there were two fat guys, brothers Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein.
"Shakespeare in Love" starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Julia has been completed and is currently undergoing post-production work. This film focuses on the Oscar market and has nothing to do with the Venice Film Festival. However, as an award-winning professional, Miramax will definitely not miss the Venice Film Festival. This time the participating film is called "Frivolous Years", which is a biopic of an American street painting artist. The cast of actors is very strong. Including David Bowie, Dennis Cooper, Willem Dafoe, Gary Oldman and a large number of powerful Hollywood stars.
Although "Titanic" is the opening film, it is a pure screening film and does not participate in any award competition at the Venice Film Festival. Therefore, many big names who came to participate in the competition also threw away their estimates and came to join in. The Weinstein Brothers so it is.
After chatting with Harvey Weinstein for a few words, and welcoming several groups of guests, the time has quickly come to seven o'clock.
After Eric entered the screening hall, Cameron took Leonardo and several other creators to the stage to give a brief speech, and the screening of the film officially began.
The lights in the auditorium dimmed, Eric cast his gaze on the big screen, and Cameron quickly turned from the backstage and sat beside him.
After all, it is the first public appearance of "Titanic". Although he has been acting quite relaxed on the surface, Eric still noticed the details of Cameron holding the armrest tightly.
"Hey Jim, just relax, I guess you're going to love this movie."
"I hope," Cameron muttered in a low voice, then turned to look at Eric, raised his voice, and said, "Anyway, Eric, thank you."
Eric nodded slightly, didn't say anything, just patted Cameron on the shoulder.
In the screening hall, as the pictures on the big screen lighted up, the three hundred invited guests, reporters and movie fans all focused their attention on the big screen, and everyone wanted to see it. What is a $215 million blockbuster movie like
However, the opening plot of the deep-sea treasure hunt disappointed most people.
It seems that there is nothing special about it.
This slightly disappointed mood has been maintained until the appearance of the elderly Rose, and the memory screen unfolds. When the giant figure of the Titanic appeared on the British harbor pier, and the young Rose played by Rachel Weisz made a stunning appearance, The disappointed mood of the audience was slightly relieved, and the insiders who were familiar with the filming process even sighed in their hearts. Such a highly restored picture is indeed a money-burning weapon. However, they also inevitably underestimate secretly: Is this really necessary
