The sensation caused by Titanic was undoubtedly huge.
after all!
This is the first film in the history of Hollywood, USA, in which several major film academies participated together!
after all……
Three hundred assistant directors, seven hundred screenwriters, and distinguished figures like Olma and Julia are all involved. In addition to the physical filming on the cruise ship, Lu Yuan plans to spend money to build another cruise ship to cooperate with the filming. As if Lu Yuan didn't think the popularity was enough, he directly brought in the slums and "Lu Yuan's Dinner" to participate, and so on...
so!
How could this not cause a huge sensation?
"This is a crazy plan. Lu Yuan has gone completely crazy!"
"This is unprecedented madness in the film industry. What on earth is he going to do?"
"At the same time as the blockade of Century Company and Gobia was broken, Lu Yuan publicly declared war on Luo Lan?"
"Lu Yuan has broken the Guinness record again. Even before a single movie has been shot, he has already become the undisputed number one in American film history!"
“…”
“…”
October 11th!
The giant ship "Titanic" directly attracted the attention of everyone in the international film industry.
All major entertainment sections, film reports, and news media forums are filled with the words "Titanic" and a series of jaw-dropping words such as "Madman Plan"!
Many Hollywood companies shook their heads after watching the live broadcast of the "Titanic" press conference!
"I don't know whether I will cooperate with Lu Yuan in the future, but now, in my eyes, this Chinese man is a lunatic!" Eric, the vice president of Paimeng Company, said this sentence almost bluntly in the face of all reporters' questions, and his expression revealed the unreasonable attitude of this Chinese man without any disguise.
His answer echoes the thoughts of almost all Hollywood executives.
Everyone was unable to resist the huge propaganda bombardment caused by Lu Yuan, and deep down in their hearts, they couldn't help but call him a madman, unreasonable, etc.
After all, which director in the entire history of Hollywood dares to do this?
Moreover, even if they have the courage, they do not have the financial strength and ability!
Actually!
If the true cost of "Titanic" is really calculated, it has even completely surpassed "Anthropocene".
After all, even a sci-fi blockbuster like "The Anthropocene" can't afford so much publicity, and can't invite a horror figure like Olma...
In the first round of promotion, "Anthropocene" was a complete failure!
Several giant Hollywood companies really have no way to deal with Lu Yuan and his "Titanic". They know that this is an unstoppable aircraft carrier and whoever collides with it will die!
Although they were cursing and swearing, calling Lu Yuan a madman and Lu Yuan a madman, they held an emergency meeting immediately after the press conference of "Titanic".
All the meetings had only one purpose, which was that they had to slightly change the movie release date and postpone it by five or six days before the popularity of "Titanic" completely subsided.
no way!
Looking at the attitude of the entire international media, the popularity of "Titanic" is about to break the publicity limit of historical films. Isn't it asking for trouble for them to hold a movie premiere press conference at this time?
If the publicity fails to keep up and fails to create the desired shock, the box office of their movies will definitely not be as high as expected.
Although it’s not a failure, nor is it a loss of money, but why earn less when you can earn more?
Therefore, among the Hollywood movies that were scheduled to be released in mid-October, except for some medium-budget movies, the release dates of three blockbusters, such as "Aliens", "Interstellar" and "Prehistoric Creatures", were directly withdrawn to early November in an attempt to avoid the impact of "Titanic"...
After all, they knew that the official casting for Titanic would be on October 15th, and confirming the role would surely cause an even bigger sensation, which was almost a foregone conclusion.
It was a very sensible thing for them to do.
In fact, not to mention other Hollywood companies, even Lu Yuan’s own "Remote" Entertainment, after seeing the huge popularity of "Titanic", director Thompson simply postponed "Star Wars" to early November without saying a word.
He is afraid too!
Although "Titanic" is a movie produced by their own company, this terrifying attitude of killing anyone who stands in the way of God or Buddha does not distinguish between friend and foe. If it directly kills "Star Wars", then "remote control" in the entire film industry will become a joke.
Moreover, when other companies announce the postponement of movies, they will more or less attract criticism...
As for "remote"?
All right!
Movie fans have never expected “remotely released” movies to be released on time!
Even if Lu Yuan himself came out and said that his movie would be released at a certain time, movie fans would not care at all.
Aren’t there enough cases of people slapping themselves in the face?
Everyone is doing what they are supposed to do. We are all used to it.
Therefore, the postponement of the release of "Star Wars" is just a "remote" routine in everyone's eyes, just like Lu Yuan always shamelessly advertises after announcing a big event...
All right!
He himself thought it was a common practice.
However, in this situation everyone thinks it is normal.
James suddenly stood up and without any warning called all the familiar media, saying that he would announce a movie premiere on October 13th.
After the media received information about James' movie, they were all dumbfounded.
We are vigorously promoting your "Titanic" here, why are you showing up at this time to hold a movie premiere?
When your movie "Titanic" is so popular and many other movies have changed their release dates, are you serious about suddenly choosing to release it?
Aren’t you afraid that your movie will be killed by your own company’s “Titanic”?
Aren’t you afraid of hurting someone by mistake?
Moreover, October 13th is not a long holiday in China like October 1st, nor is it an international holiday...
Even on weekdays it is a quiet time.
Why did you choose this date to release it?
Just when all the media were at a loss...
"On October 14, the 'remote' movie 'Final Destination' will be released on time!"
On Twitter, James posted a message very stubbornly, and put the word "on time" in quotation marks.
At this glance…
The media was stunned for a moment...
Is James really so stubborn as to do such a thankless and even completely unprofitable task?
What is this for?
Is it that his brain is broken or that he doesn't follow the tradition of "remote control" anymore?
…
"Uncle...how is our 'remote' takeaway going now?"
“…”
"Uncle, what I mean is that you should come to Hollywood in person, and let Brother Liu take care of the 'remote' takeout work. I took a look at the quarterly report last month, and it's pretty good, with a steady increase..."
“…”
"You've never been to the United States? No experience of going abroad? Uncle, let me tell you, there is actually a huge market here. American crews are basically the same concept, that is, stupid people with a lot of money. By the way, does Brother Liu know English? How about this, let Brother Liu bring some people over?"
“…”
"Ah? You only know a little Chinese English? You can say OK? Will you become a joke if you come here? Uncle, don't be afraid of being embarrassed. I'm putting it this way. Either you or Brother Liu will come. It doesn't matter if you don't know English. There are translators in the crew, and the lunch boxes are for our own crew. But you must learn after you come here, really. If you don't learn, you will be eliminated..."
“…”
"Okay, it's settled, huh? You mean the problem with Final Destination? Final Destination is indeed going to be released tomorrow, it's already been decided! Didn't Huaxia see the movie theater's screening schedule? Uncle, I never planned to release this movie in China. The style of this movie can't be released in China..."
“…”
"Wait, uncle, why are we in the catering industry suddenly interested in movies? Huh? Is the Chinese film industry going crazy?"
“…”
In the office.
Lu Yuan felt a little confused after he finished talking on the phone with Uncle Liu Jin, the person in charge of "remote" takeout.
Although everyone knows that James took on a horror film called "Final Destination", there was no publicity for "Final Destination" from the beginning to the end of filming. Not to mention the United States, China did not even mention the name of "Final Destination". Its own "Chaoyang Entertainment News" did not mention any word at all...
"Final Destination", which had no publicity at all in China, suddenly became a hit in China?
What is going on?
Lu Yuan racked his brains but couldn't figure out why.
My original plan was to postpone "Final Destination" to November, just like "Star Wars", and then promote them separately.
However, he never expected that James suddenly said yesterday that it would be released on time!
Lu Yuan was also a little stunned at that time.
Lu Yuan is also very worried about the promotion of "Final Destination".
"Titanic" was so popular, how can "Final Destination" compare?
What if I get myself killed because of insufficient publicity? If that happens, I will feel like a joke.
But after seeing James's determined look, Lu Yuan finally agreed...
After all, James doesn't seem like a stubborn person...
"Boss, you don't need to do anything, and you don't need to promote anything... Anyway, I'll just make an announcement. I bet! This approach, which is the opposite of other companies, will definitely make Final Destination a hit!"
James' voice echoed in Lu Yuan's mind, coupled with James' mysterious smile, which made Lu Yuan very confused.
What is he going to do?
After not understanding what happened...
Lu Yuan subconsciously logged onto the Chinese Internet.
Then……
The first three hot searches were naturally "Titanic", but the title of the fourth one was...
"Final Destination", this is another huge and shocking conspiracy set up by Lu Yuan!"
After seeing this title.
Lu Yuan was completely stunned.
A huge and shocking conspiracy?
How the hell didn’t I know this was a shocking conspiracy?
