The news of the change of director of the "Titanic" crew, after a few days of fermentation, finally broke out in the United States.
"Titanic", which everyone was not optimistic about, even appointed an 18-year-old boy to be the director. Not only did the gossip tabloids horrify all the tabloids, even some authoritative media across the United States also issued articles to question. .
"Chicago Readers" took "Fox Pictures gamble, 18-year-old kid can turn the tide?", ridiculed Fox Pictures and Dunn-
"Since the "Titanic" project was established, Fox Pictures executives have stunned One after another, the originally thriving 20th Century Fox Company was almost bankrupt! Three days ago, the senior Fox Pictures executives headed by Bill McNick appointed and dismissed an 18-year-old director to take charge of this nearly 200 million investment project. Unprecedented, unheard of!"
The Los Angeles Times, based on "The arrogant rhetoric of the arrogant boy, 1.5 billion box office is just a guarantee?", it carried out a relentless attack on Dunn—
"Young and vigorous is a good thing. But arrogant and arrogant, doomed to defeat. Dunn Williams Walker, was appointed as the director of "Titanic" and became a well-known figure in the United States in one fell swoop. However, $1.5 billion is guaranteed, and $2 billion is the goal. See It is more of a beautiful conception of youth and youth. Dunn Walker does not seem to have emerged from the childhood fairy tales."
The New York Times commented more sharply, saying that "Tunn Walker is destined to be a Hollywood traveler. ", he also vaguely pointed out that Dunn is likely to be the victim of the high-level power struggle of Fox Pictures, "from then on, he will be devastated, and even make his whole life gloomy."
"The Times" bluntly said, "There are so many directors in Hollywood. This is a blasphemy against Hollywood and an insult to all filmmakers!"
Some professional film review magazines completely rejected the "Titanic" movie, believing that it is destined to be the biggest loss in history. This movie, Fox Pictures and Dunn Walker, will join forces to stage the biggest farce in Hollywood history!
Fox Pictures instantly felt the tremendous pressure and was forced to hold a special press conference to explain this, saying that Dunn Walker is a genius director, more than Steve Spielberg back then. It's hard to beat it. It takes great courage and courage to be ordered in danger when "Titanic" is facing difficulties.
Fox believes in Dunn Walker, and also believes that he can successfully operate the "Titanic" project and dedicate a classic masterpiece to fans all over the world.
At the same time, a Fox Pictures spokesperson also pointed out that Mr. James Cameron has just stepped down as the director. He is still the producer of the film. The shooting and operation of "Titanic" is still under Cameron's control. Don't worry too much.
It's a pity that such a statement quickly sinks like a sea in endless criticism, accusation and ridicule.
The tremendous pressure makes people breathless.
Even News Corp boss Rupert Murdoch personally called to ask questions. Bill McNick was tough and firmly believed that Dunn Walker was the best candidate for the director of "Titanic"!
This is equivalent to issuing a military order, and the atmosphere inside Fox Pictures is very serious.
Compared with the external condemnation, the crew of "Titanic" is quiet. The reason is simple. The professional skills shown by Dunn Walker are respected!
Even James Cameron deeply admired the many whimsical ideas during the shooting, and said more than once, "Tun's professional standards are very high, which is surprising. Of course, if he can be more serious and take details Just do something more perfect."
Of course, there is one person's inner tension that is far better than all.
She is Kate Winslet.
The filming in Los Angeles is over, and the crew will fly to Mexico City tomorrow. There are some things that she must solve!
The shooting of the day ended early, because we had to catch a plane tomorrow morning, and everyone returned to the hotel early to rest.
Dunn allocated a set of deluxe rooms, three-room layout, everything.
This is many times stronger than the small hotel he rented before!
