Chapter 167: "Titanic" Premiere
On the morning of the third day in Los Angeles, Lu Ning and Alice went to the hotel where the crew of "Titanic" stayed, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel not far from the Walk of Fame.
When I saw James Cameron again, James Cameron was red-faced at this time. This time was obviously very nourishing.
Before, the promotion of the movie went very smoothly. During the preview, almost all the famous Hollywood film critics were invited.
This is a rare movie, and it has been recommended by film critics, and it has also whetted the audience's appetite.
The progress of movies in other regions also went very smoothly, so smoothly that James Cameron himself did not expect it.
Europa, Asia Pacific, South America, and North America are all released simultaneously, which is also a precedent.
James Cameron also knew that the main credit for this was actually Lu Ning.
Most cinema groups have given enough face to the Lu consortium, which can be seen from the film scheduling rates of various countries.
As soon as he got up, James Cameron gave Lu Ning a warm hug.
I sincerely thank Lu Ning for his dedication to the film. In fact, James Cameron didn't understand the situation. The reason why the Lu consortium intervened was that King Lu was eager to show his existence, that's all.
This premiere, all the main actors are present.
Of course, Lu Ning and Alice will not miss it as the hero and heroine. Ruth's fiancé is played by Billy Zane, Kathy Bates as Molly, and Frances Bates as Carl's mother Ruth. Fisher, Bernard Hill, who played the captain, and many other Hollywood veterans were also present to add to the fun.
At noon, all the people gathered in the restaurant of the hotel, and a kind of high-level Paramount and 20th Century Fox also came. For everyone, tonight's premiere and zero-point box office are enough to explain everything. At this moment, Paramount and 20 The senior management of Century Fox was still a little nervous.
After all, for this movie, the two companies can be said to have all they have.
"Everyone, for the great popularity of "Titanic", let's toast!" James Cameron stood in the main seat with high spirits.
"For the Titanic!"
"Titanic must win."
"It's hot all over the world!!!"
All kinds of auspicious words fill the restaurant, all the actors are excited, and no one knows "Titanic" better than them.
However, today, everyone is very restrained. After all, it is the premiere in the evening, and there is no excessive drinking. It is all just a taste. Even James Cameron, who loves wine, only drank one cup.
In the afternoon, Lu Ning and Alice stayed in the suite prepared for them by the crew, James Cameron was also there, and the three chatted casually.
"Uncle James, Heart of the Ocean, what are you going to do?" Lu Ning asked about the most important prop in the movie.
"After the publicity is over, we're going to auction it off." James Cameron shrugged, the result of a discussion between Paramount and 20th Century Fox.
Taking advantage of the heat, selling this string of ocean hearts can sell for a good price.
"Don't auction it, 1.8 million, I'll take it." Lu Ning really liked this necklace. After all, for Lu Ning and Alice, this heart of the ocean is more valuable.
"I will discuss this with Paramount and 20th Century Fox." James Cameron can't make any guarantees, but he thinks that Paramount and 20th Century Fox will agree to the price.
Lu Ning's bid is already very sincere. Don't look at the heart of the ocean, which weighs 45.52 carats, but it was not cut from real sapphire. It was replaced by tanzanite, which cost less than 800,000 USD price.
Now Lu Ning is bidding 1.8 million,
It's already very worthy of conscience. If Paramount and 20th Century Fox disagree, it means that their heads have really been kicked by a donkey.
"By the way, Xiao Ning, prepare yourself. After the movie ends tonight, I need you to sing "My Heart Is Still". Celine Dion was supposed to participate together, but Ms. Celine is really unlucky. , there were some minor accidents on her flight, so you can only pick the lead."
Lu Ning nodded, indicating that there is no problem, just singing.
Dinner was still enjoyed in the hotel restaurant, and they all ate some light meals. After all, it is not necessary to make up in a hurry.
Alice's makeup is in charge of the crew, and the costumes are also provided by the crew. Tonight, it's not really a red carpet, so there's no need to dress very grandly.
Lu Ning looked extraordinarily handsome in the Bijan suit that Alice helped him buy.
The red carpet officially started at 8 pm, and the crew arranged a welcome car provided by Cadillac. For this reason, Cadillac also paid an additional fee to the crew.
I have to say that James Cameron is very popular in the circle, and many big Hollywood stars are dressed up to attend this premiere.
Tom Cruise, Smith, Brad Pitt, Nicolas Cage, Julia Roberts, Sophie Marceau and many other popular Hollywood stars helped make this premiere red carpet star-studded .
Of course, Lu Ning and Alice were arranged to be the last.
After getting off the bus, the cheers like a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis can tell you how popular Lu Ning and Alice are now.
Lu Ning and Alice also cooperated in various poses for reporters to take pictures.
The flashes on the scene came on one after another, rendering the night into day.
Lu Ning and Alice waved their hands again and again like fans, and they walked for more than 10 minutes on the short 50-meter red carpet.
The premiere was arranged at the Arc Cinema on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It looks like a giant golf ball. The inside of the cinema has a retro feel. It's a very interesting place. Maybe that's why James Cameron put the premiere on. Here's why.
After entering the arena, Lu Ning and Alice greeted many Hollywood superstars and chatted a few times.
Everyone expressed great kindness to the combination of Lu Ning and Alice. Needless to say, Lu Ning, although the "electric shock" this time has the nature of playing tickets, the energy behind it is outrageous.
As for Alice, as long as "Titanic" is a success, Alice will definitely be in the camp of Hollywood's first-line superstars.
For Alice, who is about to become a first-line superstar in the near future, of course everyone tacitly expressed their praise, and maybe they will cooperate at some time.
At 9 o'clock, everyone got to their seats on time, and a great movie was about to be presented in front of everyone.
Alice was a little nervous at the moment, and the palm of Lu Ning's hand was slightly sweaty.
"Don't worry, Alice, you are the best." Lu Ning whispered in Alice's ear, with strong confidence in his tone.
