Chapter 258： Go ahead, big ship

No matter how high the public opinion is, the primary condition for measuring the success of commercial films is always the box office. Otherwise, if a film is blown to the sky by critics and the audience does not buy it, the film company will still lose money or even go bankrupt.

In the minds of people like Ryan, just look at the comments of film critics, don’t care too much, as long as the box office can achieve a breakthrough, most people will still look at you with admiration, not to mention, percent What are the ninety-nine media, he doesn't understand?

After the premiere, the crew has a full day's rest and then embarks on an intensive publicity journey.

After breakfast, Nicole went to Jenkins Pictures to discuss the follow-up production of "Eileen Brockovich" with Steven Soderbergh, while Ryan sat at the desk and started the routine keyboard work. .

At this time, he temporarily left the "Titanic" thing aside. Under his leadership, this film, from quality to publicity and marketing, can be said to be the ultimate today. He believes that the box office will not let himself down.

Stepping into this famous theater on Long Island, Natalie can only smack her tongue secretly when she sees the long line in front of the ticket counter. Although she never scorns herself, she knows that the guy far away in Los Angeles is more appealing than I am too old.

"Mom, here."

Natalie took her mother, flexibly passed through the crowd, and walked towards the corresponding screening hall.

"Nate, don't blame your father, you know, this is not the movie you starred in. It's normal for him to have no interest." Mrs. Shelly sighed. She didn't want an irreconcilable conflict between her daughter and her husband.

"I understand, mother."

Although she ordered three movie tickets, her father refused to come to watch the movie. Natalie understood that her father didn't like the entertainment industry. Since Ryan brought herself into Hollywood, her father has always been prejudiced against him.

Forget it, I will move out in a few days, maybe the distance will really produce beauty! Natalie couldn't help thinking of what Ryan had said.

"Nate. Why are you distracted. The movie is about to begin."

Mrs. Shelly pulled down and sat next to her daughter. Natalie smiled apologetically, "Mom, Ryan said "Titanic" will be the pinnacle of commercial movies."

"Really? Let's see how Ryan made a movie that took three years to produce."

When the movie lasted for an hour and forty-five minutes, Natalie, who had been watching with frowning, was finally moved.

"Oh, God!" The picture of the sinking ship shocked her.

Then Natalie found that the people around her were worse than her, and many people covered their mouths. When Ryan and the woman fell into the water, tears filled the eyes of many girls.

"No...no. Why...why does the script written by Ryan want to die!"

"Their love is so touching, God, why can't I meet such a boy."

There was clearly a cry of crying in the auditorium, as well as words overwhelming the crying, "I want to watch it again! No... watch it twice, Ryan didn't lie to us. "Titanic" is amazing!"

Looking at the familiar face disappearing in the sea, even if she knew that this was only a movie scene, Natalie still covered her mouth. This scene reminded her of the events at the end of February. Ryan was like Jack protecting Ruth. , Do everything you can to protect yourself, even if you pay...

"Nate!" The mother suddenly passed the tissue.

"mom……"

Only then did Natalie find out, unknowingly. Tears have flowed down his cheeks.

Seeing her daughter wipe away her tears, Mrs. Shelly gently rubbed her curly hair. Although her daughter was smart and precocious, she was a genius, but as a mother, she couldn't see her thoughts, especially when she came back from Los Angeles last time. Rear.

It's just that two people with distinct personalities and many differences between them are really suitable? Mrs. Shelly was a little worried.

"Quick, quick, go to the ticket office and ask if there are any tickets for the next show..."

As soon as the movie subtitles came up, many people rushed out without even listening to the theme song. Natalie looked around and the auditorium was more than half empty in an instant.

"Let's go, mother." She was also not interested in listening. The original soundtrack Ryan had already been mailed over.

Putting on her hat and sunglasses, she walked out of the screening hall, and when she passed the ticket office, Natalie glanced, her disappointed face filled her eyes, and the red letters hanging high at the ticket office were so conspicuous-"Titanic" 》Tickets are sold out today!

He succeeded again! Natalie scratched her curly hair, and suddenly realized that she had used this ‘aga’ too many times, and too often.

"Wait, mom." Just stepping out of the film industry, Natalie remembered that she should buy some accessories, which is considered support for him, "Let's go to the boutique over there."

As soon as she entered the boutique, Natalie saw a lot of people squeezed here, picking goods, waiting for payment, and preparing to leave. Most of these people have one thing in common, holding "Titanic" peripheral products in their hands.

"There are too many people, Nat." Mrs. Shelly frowned. There were a large number of people who followed them in, many of whom hadn't bought tickets in the theater, so they had to buy some nearby audiences first.

"Let's go, mother."

Natalie pulled her hat, and there were all Ryan fans here. Once she was recognized, it was quite troublesome. "I'd better go back and call Ryan and ask him to mail a few copies of everything. "

There are so many people! This is Natalie's biggest impression after experiencing the cinema and boutiques.

Out of the screening room, Gene rubbed his sour nose and sighed vigorously. Although he had enough imagination and overestimation in advance, the wonderfulness of the movie has already left him beyond words. Even such a movie It is also indescribable with a great maritime epic.

"Gene, I hate Ryan now!" Suddenly, the red-eyed female companion said.

"Why?" Gene is very strange, but his female partner is Ryan's iron.

"Why did he let his character die? Why did he leave a love full of regret..."

"Okay!" Gene touched the ticket in his pocket, "If you don't plan to watch it..."

"What?" The female companion almost jumped up like her hair exploded. "Who said I don't watch, I can't help but watch it, I have to watch it ten times!"

"Alright alright……"

Gene raised his hands, these words are not unfamiliar, and he has heard them many times after the film screening.

At the beginning of the Hua Deng, sitting in the office boss chair, David Greene relaxed and comfortable drinking coffee, "Titanic" has been launched in North America, the sale of peripheral products has also kicked off, every three hours, the following The store will count the latest sales situation once in order to adjust the supply reserve.

He just received a report from his assistant. The daytime sales statistics have been released. Although they are not as popular as "Jurassic Park", they have reached the highest sales of movie peripheral products in four years. If the movie can resemble "Jurassic Park". "Luo Ji Park" continues to be popular for three to four weeks, and the inventory in the warehouse will definitely be sold out.

Perhaps after this time, their sales outlets can be expanded to areas outside of Greater Los Angeles? David Greene looked at the numbers on the report and understood that this was another good opportunity to make a fortune.

It was close to midnight, and the luxurious office on the top floor of the Disney building was brightly lit. Michael Eisner slowly closed the phone and wrung his brows tightly.

Although he attended the premiere of the movie last night, he also thought it was a masterpiece, but he always had a fascination. After all, if the movie suffered from Waterloo, it was the beginning of the collapse of the Ryan Jenkins alliance of interests, so that he would have it. The opportunity to start, don't have to be so restrained as it is now, only use some useless in-game rules.

The call came from a senior manager of Miramax and told him about the first day’s box office. Even if it’s too early to end today, 99% of the "Titanic" theaters were released, not only today’s Tickets are gone, even tickets two to three days later are also gone.

In this situation, Michael Eisner couldn't help but think of a name-"Jurassic Park"!

Now, the hot trend of "Titanic" is similar to that of "Jurassic Park" when it was released!

If Ryan Jenkins led and starred in this movie, once again won more than one billion US dollars in the box office, then Warner, Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox and Jenkins Pictures will definitely form an unbreakable alliance of interests. What will they use to deal with it? he?

Do you really want that Italian to go through his **** and old bottom?

The box office on the premiere day may exceed $22 million! Michael Eisner frowned, this number exceeded the box office of most movies in the first week!

The most important thing is that the popularity of "Titanic" makes more theaters join the screening sequence. By the end of the week, the theaters are likely to be close to 4,000.

It was close to midnight, and Nicole sat cross-legged next to Ryan, under her short and thin clothes, showing her beautiful figure, but it was a pity that the incomprehensible guy focused all her energy on the phone.

If possible, Nicole really wants to turn off the mobile phone, unplug all the phone lines at home, and the two will be separated temporarily tomorrow. Is it possible that the last night of a happy life should be spent on the ringing of the phone?

However, she could only sigh. The people who called Ryan at this time were all big Hollywood figures, such as Shirley Lansing, the director of Paramount Pictures, and even Summer Redstone. The media giants have only one purpose-congratulations!

That's right! Although the movie was only released for one day, the hotness of "Titanic" shocked the entire industry, especially the partners of Jenkins Pictures, and the common interests brought common joy.

Can this movie really get the box office estimated by Ryan?

Even with full confidence in Ryan, Nicole still had some doubts when thinking of the terrifying number. ()
