Before the film came out, the entire industry believed that Titanic would definitely fail.

In fact, it was just as Foxguy and others predicted.

When it was first released in early 1994, Wang Lei was also full of expectations for this film.

But reality slapped him hard.

In the first week of the film's release, the box office plummeted, even lower than the market's expectations, and only won 28 million US dollars in the box office.

For a time, Wang Lei thought that his memory was wrong.

The whole Hollywood was gloating. According to this trend, the box office of Titanic might stop at around 200 million US dollars.

Paramount will suffer a loss of at least 100 million US dollars!

Wang Lei was also wondering, what happened, could it be that this big butterfly of his changed history.

His magic of rebirth began to fail?

Didn't it say that Titanic had a box office of 2 billion US dollars worldwide?

The Little League toasted and celebrated.

Guy was a little too proud at this time, and raised his voice and said: "The elders have already known about this matter and are discussing how to reward us!"

The competition within the Ross family is very fierce. Rewards are more honorable than actual benefits, allowing them to shine in front of their peers.

"Kembauer, you are the first this time!"

Guy rarely praised someone, and Kembauer touched the back of his head and smiled:

"It's all luck, all luck."

"Wang Lei should be depressed and want to curse at this time. He spent so much money, but he shot such a thing."

When they thought of Wang Lei's expression, they couldn't help laughing triumphantly.

And Wang Lei at Paramount headquarters was indeed depressed.

But seeing Shirley and Cameron coming side by side, he quickly put on a smile.

Cameron was filled with shame and self-blame. He apologized to Wang Lei dejectedly:

"Sir, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have acted on my own. Maybe if we had relied on special effects, we wouldn't have lost so badly."

Shirley rushed to take the responsibility:

"Director Cameron, you can't blame us. The quality of the film is obvious to all. More problems are here. If we had promoted it well, this wouldn't have happened."

Paramount was actually quite confident in the quality of Titanic, and many employees spontaneously supported the film.

So Shirley thought that the film didn't become a big hit because of the publicity.

Wang Lei was quite relieved to see his two subordinates rushing to take the responsibility, but changing the current situation was the top priority, otherwise he and Paramount would really become a joke in the industry.

The thought of Paramount carrying such scandals for decades or even hundreds of years.

Being nailed to the pillar of shame in the film industry and repeatedly being humiliated and rubbed.

I don't know how future online writers will tease him.

Thinking of this, Wang Lei was a little crazy.

"You two, now is not the time to admit defeat. Since we are all confident in the quality of the film, we can't give up easily. Director Cameron, please take the actors to the variety show to help promote it."

"And Shirley, you should also pay attention to the issue of publicity and promotion. Paramount's establishment of a TV station should also be put on the agenda. If we have a movie station, we will not be so passive!"

Both of them nodded repeatedly. The boss did not give up, and they had no reason to relax.

At this moment, Cameron's assistant suddenly rushed into the office with a look of astonishment.

Several people's hearts were shocked. Is there something wrong again?

"Director, the latest... the latest box office data."

"Today's latest box office data is out!"

Cameron hurriedly took the report, with an incredible look in his eyes.

"Oh my God!"

"Our box office has actually increased by 30 points, and the occupancy rate of most theaters is as high as 90%!"

Hearing this, Shirley was also surprised. She said doubtfully:

"Today is Black Monday. How can the box office be more than the weekend? Moreover, some theaters have reduced our schedule. Boss, you didn't spend money to buy the box office."

Hearing Shirley say this, Wang Lei was angry and wanted to laugh:

"Do I look like someone who can't afford to lose? The box office has increased in the opposite direction, which means that the reputation of Titanic has fermented. The high occupancy rate is the best proof!"

Cameron knew what this meant. As long as the subsequent publicity kept up, the production he put all his efforts into would still have the hope of turning losses into profits!

The two of them rushed away, and after they left, Wang Lei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at this situation, his memory was not wrong.

The reason for the dismal box office in the first week was entirely because the public had a preconceived impression, because the media's sarcasm did not give a very good first impression of the film.Good.

But as long as word of mouth opens up, word of mouth spreads, and marketing keeps up, the public will sooner or later know the charm of Titanic.

Some film review organizations were conquered by Titanic first.

Faced with such a shocking disaster film and such a poignant love story, they were conquered physically and mentally.

They wrote down their most real feelings after watching the movie for the first time in the newspaper:

Hollywood Weekly: "The beautiful story that ended abruptly caught people off guard. If tragedy is to tear up beautiful things for people to see, then Master Cameron is undoubtedly successful..."

North American Film Review Weekly:

"Let me take back my unreasonable evaluation of Titanic. Only when you are really deep in the cinema can you personally feel the charm of this film. The sweet love of handsome men and beautiful women makes people indulge in it..."

...

Coupled with word of mouth from many couples, this film immediately ushered in a wave of movie watching.

Countless people walked into the cinema with an attitude of not believing in evil, and then walked out of the cinema crying, becoming a highlight of the street.

In just one week, the reputation of this movie has undergone a polar reversal.

Many industry insiders walked into the cinema with skeptical views, but were eventually impressed by Cameron's masterpiece, and their faces changed faster than one another.

Yesterday, they were still mocking Cameron as a pitfall, but today they turned into Cameron fans.

Anyone who speaks ill of the master will inevitably be beaten up.

Some people are not satisfied with watching it once, and they also drag other girls to watch it twice or three times...

The tears shed by girls for Jack and Rousi can flood the Pacific Ocean.

Wang Lei in the beautiful country is also helpless. He just watched it with Qi Xiaona on Friday, and he had to watch it with Chen Huixian on Sunday.

He thought he could have a day off on Monday, but Lee Boo-jin took the initiative to ask him to watch a movie.

In order to avoid losing one thing while ignoring the other, Wang Lei could only treat both equally, and his iron body also felt hollowed out.

And every woman would cry and ask him soul-searching questions, if a wooden board can only carry one person...
