Chapter 1006 Jack Lin! You jump, I jump!
After arranging all this, Lin Fan will take the crew to various places on Blue Star to do roadshows to promote "Titanic".
Although Lin Fan is very confident about this movie, and thinks that it will achieve relatively impressive box office results no matter which country or region it is released in - after all, this movie has been tested by the people of Earth, and it created a miracle of 1.8 billion box office revenue that year, US dollars!
You know, how much did a movie ticket cost at that time?
This record was not broken until 2009, when it was broken by another work by the same director, "Avatar".
The film was also nominated for 13 major awards at the 1998 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress. It is one of the few films in film history to receive so many nominations. It also won 11 awards including Best Picture and Best Director on Oscar night, making it the biggest winner of the night.
Therefore, Lin Fan was mentally prepared for the popularity of this movie in overseas markets, but he still underestimated the charm of this movie.
As soon as he got off the plane, Lin Fan was scared by the fans who came to pick him up outside the airport!
Looking around, it was crowded with people, everyone holding "Titanic" support materials in their hands. The top of the airport hall was hung with "Titanic" posters, and the theme song of "Titanic" was playing on a loop in the airport hall.
This airport seems to be the scene of the movie "Titanic" rather than a transportation hub.
When the enthusiastic fans saw the Titanic crew members, they immediately burst into cheers, almost blowing off the roof of the airport! "Ruth! Ruth is so beautiful, I love you!"
"Jack, I'm the king of the world!"
"Jack Lin! You jump, I jump!"
…
Lin Fan: ...Very good, it seems that you have already decided my English name without my permission.
After going through untold hardships, the crew finally squeezed out of the airport, got on the special car that had been arranged long ago, and headed to the booked hotel.
But along the way, promotions for "Titanic" could be seen everywhere. Even when we arrived at the hotel, the song "My Heart Will Go On" was still playing in the hotel lobby.
This shows how popular this movie is overseas.
As soon as they entered the hotel, Lin Fan and Helen were surrounded by hotel staff, asking for autographs and taking photos. They were also hugged by many female fans.
Soon, the hotel's guests discovered that the crew of "Titanic" had stayed there, and they came running to ask for autographs and take photos with them.
The news spread quickly, and soon the nearby residents also knew about the arrival of Lin Fan and others. Fortunately, the hotel's security measures were relatively complete, and no outsiders disturbed Lin Fan and others.
Otherwise, Lin Fan would have to consider changing hotels overnight.
After finally dealing with all the fans, Lin Fan and the others returned to their respective rooms to rest for a while before rushing to the roadshow.
Because the overseas roadshow was scheduled very tightly, there was no way to have a good rest. For the sake of box office success, everyone had to go all out to promote the film.
The time you stay in one place will not exceed 24 hours, so you can only catch up on your sleep on the way to the next activity city.
…
The roadshow was even more lively than Lin Fan had imagined, as if all the residents of the city had come to participate in the event.
Because the sharp-eyed Lin Fan saw that there were people holding babies, white-haired old people, and children who were probably ten years old. Of course, the majority were young people, but it was enough to prove that the audience of this movie was very broad, covering audiences of all ages.
Lin Fan just had a question: Can such a young child watch this movie? What about the rating system? The key is, can they understand it?
But now is not the time to think about this question, because the roadshow has officially started.
"Let's welcome Rose and Jack from Titanic!"
“Ahhhh!”
As soon as the host welcomed them, a loud scream broke out from the audience, and Lin Fan and Helen also stepped onto the stage amid the screams of the crowd.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Fan who plays Jack."
"Hi everyone, I'm Helen who plays Ruth."
“Ahhhh!”
Well, Lin Fan discovered that all the fans on Blue Star were the same. When they were too excited, they were speechless and could only scream to vent their inner excitement.
But it proves how strong everyone's love for this movie and the protagonist in the movie is, so strong that language cannot express it and it can only be expressed with the most primitive sound.
The heroine Helen has become a household name overseas, and has jumped from a second- or third-tier actress to a popular first-tier actress.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
In addition, Helen is a native of the United States, so she has the advantage of home field and is more likely to win the favor of local fans. If Lin Fan did not have the dual identities of male lead and film director, he might not be able to win over Helen.
Of course, every time the song "My Heart Will Go On" was played, everyone discovered that Lin Fan was the creator and singer of this song! This discovery surprised the fans even more. Without anyone leading them, they all sang along with Lin Fan, a classic love song that was destined to leave a deep impression on the entire music scene:
“Every night in my dreams I see you I feel you
That is how I know you go on Far across the distance and spaces between us You have come to show you go on Near far wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on
I firmly believe that our hearts are together——"
This song was released ahead of the movie. People were already moved by the song before they even saw the movie.
The release of the movie has become the best annotation of this song, allowing everyone to understand the passionate love that transcends life and death behind the song, and adding infinite charm to it.
While Lin Fan was singing, the big screen behind him played wonderful clips from "Titanic", especially in the second half of the song, when Lin Fan's voice suddenly rose, the scene of the Titanic's hull falling into the deep sea appeared on the big screen.
The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim, but more people followed Lin Fan's rhythm and sang loudly about the love that lasts until death:
“You’re here there’s nothing I fearAnd I know that my heart will go onWe’ll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on——
My heart will always be with you—"
By the end of the song, everyone at the scene was already in tears without realizing it.
