Everything was ready, and the tanker "Penderton" finally came slowly.
For various reasons, James Cameron failed to complete the shooting of the "Titanic" cruise ship as planned, but the "Penderton" tanker became the sustenance of all his hopes.
On May 25th, the curtain officially opened!
During this period of time, "Pearl Harbor" has been very high-profile, and almost everyone from the creators to the people behind the scenes has become the target of publicity. The Disney production department is very determined from top to bottom, that is, through this film, Disney's decadence in the film market will be swept away!
The premiere of "Pearl Harbor" was full of friends, and Disney's connections were undoubtedly revealed at this time. And because of the remarkable publicity effect, many well-known film critics have actively participated in the premiere, eager to see it.
Compared with the high profile of "Pearl Harbor", "Unsinkable" is too low-key.
For the entire promotional period, "Unsinkable" was completely reduced to a foil for "Pearl Harbor."
In fact, this is very normal. If Dunn does not use his own personal charm to promote "Unsinkable", Universal Pictures' distribution capabilities alone would not be Disney's opponent at all.
Of course, it's not all ineffective.
At least in the early stage, fans eager for tickets still formed a long queue in the cinema.
It's just that compared to the gathering of stars over there, the premiere here looks a bit shabby.
"Is it really all right? Even the mayor went there."
In the lounge, James Cameron answered a phone call, and then his face became a little gloomy, and a bit of worry appeared on his originally red face.
Dunn smiled and said, "What's the problem? You don't think that Michael Bay's level is comparable to you, right?"
Cameron shook his head and sighed, "If it was ten or twenty years ago, of course I wouldn't worry. But now times are changing too fast, and the role of movie promotion is becoming more and more obvious."
Tang En said lightly: "The importance of propaganda is of course getting stronger and stronger, but the premise is the correct propaganda strategy! "Pearl Harbor" compares "Titanic" everywhere, and it is on the road to death."
Cameron glanced at the time and stood up, "Hopefully!"
Tang En smiled and said confidently: "On a big ship, we worked together to create a miracle, James, with this big ship, we can still write a legend!"
Cameron looked back at him and smiled, "Dawn, you are always so positive and sunny. Let's go, it's about to start, let's meet the guests."
...
Accompanied by Liv Tyler, Dunn appeared on the red carpet.
She is the heroine of "Unsinkable". Tonight's dress is splendid, wearing a blue evening dress with double shoulders and suspenders. The deep V on the chest reaches the position of the navel, and both hemispheres are exposed. In order to steal the camera, she also Really hard.
A small assistant walked over quickly and whispered in Tang En's ear, "The reporters are all arranged, all of them are pre-determined questions, a total of 3."
Dunn nodded with a smile, and then he took Liv Tyler and went to the red carpet.
For a time, the flash flashed quickly, making the night look like day. Liv Tyler also seemed to be a different person, elegant and demure, with a generous manner, and gently waved to the reporters and fans on both sides of the red carpet.
It's just...the walking speed is too slow!
Dunn hates walking the red carpet with female stars, that's why.
However, "Unsinkable" has fallen behind in terms of publicity. This time, Tang En can only cooperate with the arrangement of the crew to make a cool appearance.
Finally came to the end of the red carpet, Tang En found the reporter of "Los Angeles Times" with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Walker, do you have confidence in the box office of "Unsinkable"? This is your second collaboration with director Cameron. Will you work together to break the record of "Titanic"?"
Dunn said in one breath: "The box office is the data of the film company. I think the movie fans value the quality of the movie. In terms of the box office, I can't predict, but in terms of the quality of the movie, I can assure the fans that "Unsinkable" will be the best A film as good as Titanic."
"As we all know, "Pearl Harbor" is also holding its premiere at the Chinese Grand Theater tonight. They think "Pearl Harbor" can break the box office record of "Titanic". Is this true?"
Dunn said with a smile: "It's not convenient for me to comment on the films of my peers. During the promotion stage of "Pearl Harbor", I have been comparing my film "Titanic", it seems... they will surpass my past achievements. Everyone Everyone has different opinions and I can't say too much, but Titanic is a big ship, today's Unsinkable is another ship. While they are on par with the first ship, our second ship, will set sail tonight."
"The last question, it's also the premiere. The "Pearl Harbor" side... seems to be a lot more grand than this side. What do you think of this situation?"
Dunn said calmly and calmly: "Movies are gifts from Hollywood to fans all over the world, not just for a few celebrities. From this perspective, as the producer of "Unsinkable", I have been working with Director Cameron worked together to show the greatest sincerity in front of fans."
...
"Next, let's invite Mr. Richard Livesey, the shipwrecked crew member and the great rescue hero, to appear!"
Immediately, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium.
An old man in his 80s got up slowly and walked to the front desk with the help of the staff.
Dunn, who was sitting below, yawned boredly.
The dozen or so survivors of the shipwreck just now went up, all of whom were in their 80s. They had to use this method to promote the movie. Tang En didn't like this method from the bottom of his heart.
However, Universal seems to be very happy with it. During the promotion period, these old people have been repeatedly exposed and played emotional cards.
"I've always felt that the way Hollywood treats the elderly ... lack of respect."
Dunn couldn't help whispering in James Cameron's ear.
Cameron gave him a strange look, "It's not in your interest? Maybe... they also like the feeling of getting applause."
Tang En pouted, "The monkeys in the circus can also get applause!"
Cameron frowned, "Dawn, your metaphor is inappropriate!"
"Of course, I know, I just think... If the movie doesn't start, I'll be falling asleep. This ceremony is too complicated and too long." Tang En sighed.
Charlize Theron sitting on the other side pursed his lips and said jokingly: "In my opinion... Dunn, you are shifting your anxiety. You are not irritating these old people at all, but worrying about the other side" Pearl Harbor."
Tang En was slightly startled, then laughed, "Charlie, are you good at psychology? Did you learn it from Nat?"
Charlize Theron bit her lip muttered, "Miss Portman doesn't talk much to me!"
Dunn almost didn't laugh.
Harvard hasn't had a holiday yet, but George Lucas recently organized a reshoot of "Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones". Natalie didn't have many roles, but she was called back and filmed for a week.
The main reason is that Dunn's "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man" did so well, which put George Lucas under too much pressure. In the post-production process, he always strived to be perfect.
With the current progress, the production cycle of "Star Wars Episode 2" is estimated to exceed 25 months.
During this time, Natalie had a good relationship with Rose Byrne, and she was a little cold to Penelope Cruz and Charlize Theron.
Tang En said in a low voice, "It's mainly because you have a great figure, you are tall and straight, tall and straight, she is under a lot of pressure."
Only then did Charlize Theron raise the corner of his mouth, "Then do you like me?"
"Of course, I like your body."
Dunn admitted frankly.
Charlize Theron's eyes were full of hope, "Just... just the body?"
Tang En looked indifferent and pointed to the front, "Okay, the ceremony is over, it's time to watch the movie!"
Charlize Theron's eyes suddenly dimmed.
At this time, the lights in the projection hall dimmed, and the big screen was also pitch black.
The whole hall seemed to have turned into a long dark night, with five fingers out of sight.
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared on the big screen, and in the vast night sky, a ray of light flashed from the corner.
Then the light became more and more abundant and brighter.
In a majestic voice, it merged into a logo - Dunn Pictures.
Movie starts!
