Chapter 1168 (1/2)

In the projection Hall of Lido film palace.

Mark Belford did not choose to sit in the front row like a group of leading guests, but at the end of the hall with a few staff members.

Mark Belford spent most of his time watching the audience's reaction to the film.

After more than three hours of screening, except for a few audiences who left for a short time to solve physiological problems, no one left early because of the long film, which made Belford feel a little relaxed.

After the ship sank, many audiences in the screening hall began to wipe their tears, which made Belford once again enhance some confidence in the film.

When the main story is over, the subtitles begin to rise, and the lights in the hall have not been lit yet. Some people can't wait to start clapping. Belford confirms that it's not his own staff who arranged the final clapping in advance to avoid the cold, but the spontaneous behavior of the audience. Finally, he doesn't feel heavy about the film.

Finally, the movie is over, the lights are on, and mark Belford is completely relieved when the audience stands up again in the hall to salute the movie.

Although, the first thing to get up is the staff arranged in advance, since other audiences are willing to follow, it is enough to show the excellence of the film.

Mark Belford is a pragmatist. There is no psychological barrier to these small moves arranged in advance. The photographer must have photographed this scene. When this scene is published in the major media tomorrow, all kinds of negative public opinions about Titanic will disappear for more than a year from last year.

Next, the film will have a very favorable publicity environment.

The applause that lasted for more than a minute gradually subsided, and the main creators began to interact with each other. Mark Belford took a seat again. Tim fogman, a vice president of gaomen film publicity department, who is responsible for the film festival, asked: ”mark, now it seems that the global minimum of 300 million should be ok?”

At first glance, the expectation of burning 200 million US dollars and global box office of 300 million US dollars is not promising.

However, even mark Belford himself, before today's premiere, basically had this idea. As long as the global box office of Titanic can reach 300 million dollars, the loss must still be a loss, but at least it won't be so embarrassing.

As for now?

Looking at Cameron and others communicating with reporters on the stage, mark Belford thought for a moment and said, ”wait until the results of the questionnaire and tomorrow's film review come out. Tim, don't go to the party. Sort out the questionnaire as soon as possible. The boss is also waiting.”

That said, mark Belford raised the original expected figure of 300 million by one level.

400 million dollars.

As long as the global box office reaches this figure, even if the box office is still hopeless, most of the expenses can be made up after the subsequent channel operation.

It's not easy to achieve that either.

Today is September 12. Titanic is scheduled to be released on December 12. There are just three months left. In order to achieve the global box office of $400 million, in addition to today's good omen, we need to carefully consider every step of the next publicity.

In addition, the duration of more than three hours is still the biggest problem in Mark's view, which will seriously limit the number of film arrangement per day.

Tim fogman heard Mark's request, but he didn't refuse. He nodded and agreed.

Mark Belford was thinking about the publicity of Titanic. His mind was not as heavy as it was at the beginning, and he began to worry about other aspects. He continued to talk about the high channel around him: ”besides, this time, the strategy of reverse public relations between the sea pianist and the beautiful life did not fight for any awards. You did well. The boss told us that it's easy to take it up and hard to put it down, but sometimes we have to put it down. Our operation in Cannes this year has gone too far. If we continue to do so, it will definitely cause a rebound. In the long run, it will not only be bad for us, but also for the whole industry. ”

Tim fogman said with a wry smile, ”I understand. It's just a pity that both films are so good.”

The two chatted. When the interaction lasted for more than ten minutes ended, Tim fogman followed mark Belford's arrangement to stare at the questionnaire. Mark himself went to the Afterparty of the film. He also had to communicate with some important media or film critics about the details of tomorrow's manuscript.

The film's premiere feedback is far beyond expectations, and some of the arrangements in advance also need to be adjusted. At first, I hope that some film critics will not write too hard. This time, it must be icing on the cake.

At the same time, we can't fry too much.

There are still three months to go before the official release. If this wave of hype is too fierce, it will inevitably consume the audience's expectation, so it needs to be simmered step by step.

Greenwich, North America.

Simon reckons that ”Titanic” is similar to ”gone with the wind” half a century ago. They are all small figures in the great historical background, and eventually become classics.Of course, this is not to say that a similar model can succeed.

On the contrary, after gone with the wind, countless directors tried various love epics, most of which ended in failure, such as gone with the wind in Australia by an Australian director and smoke in Paris by another Australian director.

Australian directors are especially fond of making epic films.

Either success or failure.

In recent days, I'm sure I'll spend more time with Lin Su, who just gave birth to the baby. It's Saturday, and Simon is directly handling some work in the manor.

As for the others, it's the autumn school season. Lin Dong and Prynne, who are studying here in the morning, leave and return to Boston. Lin Lan and Qin Yusong, who have asked for a week's leave, are also preparing to leave tomorrow. Lin Xing, the senior of the Lin family, is about to start his senior year course, and will return home with his second sister tomorrow. Lin's mother will continue to stay and look after her daughter until next month Return home to give the little guy full moon wine.

Simon works in his study. Only Chen Qing comes to discuss some domestic affairs with Simon.

”If the domestic economic development follows the boss's expectation, I think it should be good to invest in a few expressways. Boss, here are some information I asked people to collect. You can see that every project is at the level of 1 billion yuan. If we win these projects, we will not only be profitable, but also win a big favor. ”
