In the past few days, Lee's mobile phone has been completely blown up by the media's appointment for an interview, and he is so annoyed that he only has his mobile phone turned off, but the phone is followed by a call to AG's office, and the assistant Fury has not done anything for the past two days, and has been busy helping Lyte answer the phone all day.
Li Tefu, who had not appeared in the company for more than a week, was immediately entangled by Fury as soon as he appeared.
"Mr.
Leete, this is a record of telephone appointments in the last few days, a total of 387 records, and 163 media outlets want to interview you."
Litter took the phone call record full five pages of paper, glanced at it casually, and threw it into the wastebasket aside.
"To hell with them all" Fury was stunned for a moment, he knew that Leet didn't like to deal with the media, but this time the list of media who wanted to interview Leet included top media such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
Fury trotted to catch up with Leet and persuaded behind him: "Mr.
Leet, do you think about it again in the future, whether the company is promoting movies or launching new talents, it needs to maintain a good relationship with the media, although what they did some time ago was indeed a bit excessive, but we don't need to make the relationship so stiff." ” Lee, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, and Fury didn't have time to stop his feet and almost hit Lee.
"Before that, what did you think of my relationship with the media?"
"It's bad."
"Then why are they so active now that they want to interview me, you must know that many of these people are the ones who scolded me the most some time ago, don't they hate me very much, but they still have to try their best to please me, this is the media, in my opinion, there are two ways to deal with the media, either to make them like you, or to make them hate you, and it is very difficult to make all the media like you.
But it's very simple to get all the media to hate you. ” Litt left Fury at the door to continue thinking about this, and pushed the door himself into the office.
It's no wonder that the media is so keen to interview Leet, now open a newspaper casually, and the big and small pages are basically occupied by all kinds of topics about the Titanic, although the box office of 300 million US dollars in North America is still not a small notice from the highest box office record, but the Titanic's performance against the sky during this period of time still shocked everyone's eyes.
It has been ten weeks since the Titanic was released, and it still firmly occupies the top spot in the North American weekly box office list, and no one knows how long such an anti-sky performance will last.
Leete, the only one who may know the answer, now refuses to accept any media interviews, but this still does not stop everyone's curiosity about the matter.
Some media found a new way to find new clues from the gambling agreement signed by Cameron, which Charterer "instigated" Cameron and Fox.
When the VAM was exposed, no one believed that a film could really reach $1 billion at the global box office, and everyone thought it was a compromise that Cameron made to the producers in order to ensure that the film could be filmed smoothly.
But now the situation is different, Titanic has accumulated nearly $600 million at the global box office, and there are already mainstream media cautiously throwing out opinions that Titanic may indeed become the highest-grossing movie in film history.
Then the problem arises, when Leet suggested that Cameron and Fox sign a gambling agreement, he should have made an accurate prediction of the Titanic's box office.
According to the estimates of professional bodies.
As long as the global box office of the Titanic can reach more than 700 million US dollars, the investor can fully recover the cost, why does Littlet still set the gambling condition at 1o US dollars, he can set this box office target lower, so that Cameron has a greater chance of winning.
Follow this suspicion to explore.
The second half of the VAM agreement then surfaced.
According to the agreement between Cameron and Fox, the global box office of the Titanic only needs to exceed $100 million, and Cameron can not only get the part of the remuneration he should get as a director and producer, but also every $100 million more at the box office.
Cameron will be able to get an additional 1 share of the box office.
According to such a content agreement, if the box office of the Titanic ends up exceeding $200 million, Fox will have to pay Cameron an additional $200 million.
Without a $100 million box office target, Fox would not have been able to sign such a deal with Cameron.
The media doesn't care if Fox is regretting signing this VAM agreement with Cameron, they care about Leett's suggestion to Cameron as an agent, so he should consider this matter from the perspective of maximizing Cameron's interests.
If the global box office of the Titanic is only a little more than $1o billion, then Cameron's risks and gains in this gambling agreement are disproportionate, and only the global box office of the Titanic is far from $1 billion, and Cameron will become the biggest winner in the bet.
The media came to an astonishing conclusion: Little's global box office expectation for the Titanic was at least $1.5 billion, otherwise he would not have encouraged Cameron to sign such a gambling agreement with Fox.
This conclusion immediately caused a huge controversy in the United States, although the global box office of Titanic has now exceeded 600 million US dollars, but it is still far from 1.5 billion US dollars, if Leet really thinks so, it can only mean that he is completely crazy.
Those who were unwilling to fail grasped this last straw, and for a time all kinds of ridicule of Leete in the newspapers were once again in the dust.
The turbulent public opinion offensive in the early days of Titanic's release was staged again, the only difference is that this time most of the mainstream media have learned their lesson and have not rushed to express their opinions.
Because all the conclusions that Litt believed that the Titanic would achieve a box office of $1.5 billion were speculation, as long as Litt himself stood up and denied it, the matter could be settled immediately.
The mainstream media in North America has been slapped in the face by Leeter once with facts, and of course he doesn't want to be slapped a second time.
But what is puzzling is that Litte has always been silent about this matter, neither denying nor admitting it, so that some media want to report it but dare not report it, so they can only wait like this.
Of course, Lit's abnormal reaction also attracted the attention of some people, Cameron even made a special call to Litte because of this matter, and no one knew what the two said on the phone, but the staff around Cameron showed that since the call, Cameron has been in a good mood for several days.
The unknown media is still speculating, and almost all laymen and insiders are not optimistic that the final box office of the Titanic will exceed $1.5 billion, because it is simply an impossible goal.
But this time, everyone underestimated the terrifying strength of the Titanic as a gold-sucking monster, and in the next few weeks, the film continued to perform with a strong performance of no less than 250,000 per week, constantly stimulating everyone's nerves that were about to be completely numb.
Finally, after winning the North American weekly box office champion for 15 consecutive weeks, Titanic was squeezed out of the throne by a newly released movie, but still firmly occupied the 1o list, which is Titanic's North American box office has approached $500 million, and the global box office is also close to $900 million, which is close to breaking by Jurassic Park.
It was also at this time that Josh, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, walked into Leett's office again.
After getting Lee's permission, Josh began recording the conversation between the two.
"Why did you choose to be silent after the release of Titanic" "Then what should I say In fact, before the release of this movie, I have already said what I should say, Titanic will create a box office record that everyone expected, and breaking through $1o billion is just the beginning, and the end of this film is far more than that."
"Now that some of your predictions have come true, I'm curious to know how you made such a judgment when everyone was not optimistic about this movie half a year ago" "To answer your question, I must first mention the prototype of the Titanic.
In 1912, the British built the world's largest steamship to prove to the world that British industry was strong, and coincidentally, more than 80 years later, Hollywood spent the most expensive cost ever to make this story into a movie, do you think it's a coincidence?

The birth of the Titanic has its inevitable historical factors, and in the same way, the birth of the Titanic, including the box office miracle it is now creating, is also a historical inevitability. ” "The last decade of the end of the twentieth century can be said to be the golden decade of the Hollywood commercial film festival, not only in the United States, the box office of commercial films is rising, but the proportion of the box office of overseas markets in the total box office of a film is also expanding, do you know what this means This means that in the past decade, Hollywood commercial films began to occupy the film market of other countries on a large scale, and Jurassic Park, which was released in 93, is the most convincing representative of this global expansion, The film has set new box office records in many countries and regions around the world.
In the following years, the Hollywood film industry has made great and rapid progress, and when this situation is at its extreme, it will inevitably give birth to a film that is unique in the past, standing at the pinnacle of the film industry, and proving to the world that the Hollywood film industry is strong. ” "It's like a volcano that is constantly accumulating power, and once it erupts, it will show amazing power, Titanic is such a movie, from the moment I knew that this movie existed, I had a hunch that it would become the most incredible cinematic miracle of this century, and I still think so."
