Chapter 171: The End of the Song
The oppressive atmosphere in the theater continued for a long time until the lights came on again.
Everyone, everyone at the scene stood up and applauded this rare movie. The applause lasted for a long time. This was not perfunctory, but heartfelt applause.
Applause to James Cameron, to Lu Ning, to Alice, to all the actors, and to every staff member of the Titanic crew.
Everyone present knows that "Titanic" will become a classic legend and go down in history.
At this moment, Alice, a sentimental girl with red eyes still raised her head proudly and accepted the applause of the crowd.
Next, all the cast and crew will come on stage, and the host will ask some pre-prepared topics as usual.
For example, when asked why Lu Ning was so real when he was filming the scene of falling into the water.
Lu Ning shrugged with a reluctant expression on his face.
"You know, in order to achieve the real effect, Director James poured a lot of ice cubes into the swimming pool. In the water, it is not a question of good or bad acting at all, but immersive, and everyone is frozen. trembling."
James Cameron stood aside with a smile on his face and didn't mind Lu Ning's revelations.
Alice also spit out her cute little tongue and added: "There was no scene where I swam to the side whistling in the script at that time, but it was because I was too cold, and my throat was really frozen, so I thought of it temporarily. To whistle, I didn't expect Director James to think that the effect of this shooting is very good, so there is such a scene."
During the Q&A, the crowd didn't spit out bad news, or revealed some anecdotes during the filming. For example, James Cameron was poured down by the crowd at the finalizing banquet and slept on the ground for dinner all night.
The atmosphere in the theater was finally heated up, not as sad as before.
"Excuse me, Director James, why did you choose Lu Ning, who had never been involved in the film and television industry before, and Alice, who was a new star?"
The host's question was also what everyone at the scene wanted to know. At that time, James did not choose Hollywood's first-line superstars, but chose Lu Ning and Alice. Such a risky move really made everyone curious.
James Cameron smiled and began to break the news.
"You know, originally, when I was choosing male and female protagonists, I didn't consider Lu Ning and Alice at all. I hoped that Leonardo DiCaprio would play the male protagonist and Kate Wen would play the female protagonist. Slater, as for why I chose Lu Ning and Alice, um, I was forced by Lu Ning at that time, but now, I can only say, fortunately I chose Lu Ning and Alice at that time, otherwise this movie It really won't be so successful."
Speaking of this, Director James deliberately paused for a while, glanced at Lu Ning, Lu Ning put on an expression of how can you help me, James Cameron shook his head in silence.
The interaction between the two once again caused a burst of laughter on the scene.
"Okay, I admit, in the end I was moved by Lu Ning's acting skills. During the audition, I was really surprised, why this little guy with no relevant experience has such acting skills."
James Cameron's statement was unanimously affirmed by everyone present, and Lu Ning's acting skills are here.
"Of course, another major problem is to save money. You know, the cost of "Titanic" has always been tight, so in terms of remuneration, I had to save money. I only gave Lu Ning's remuneration a token amount. $10,000, you see, what a good deal I've done."
James Cameron's words caused a burst of laughter again. Everyone knew that James Cameron really earned it.
In the film layout alone, "Titanic" has already made a lot of money.
"Ask Director James,
The theme song of this movie is very nice. I heard that Celine Dion was specially invited to sing it before. Why did the male protagonist Lu Ning join it? "
The second question is also about Lu Ning. "My Heart Is Still" can be said to be the cornerstone of "Titanic" becoming a classic.
Especially when everyone just finished watching the movie, the song "My Heart Is Still" is indeed a rare masterpiece.
"Yes, we chose Celine Dion at the beginning, but after she sang for the first time, Lu Ning felt that her singing was missing something, um, Lu Ning was talking about the soul, and then Lu Ning said Take the initiative to ask to sing again."
James' expression seemed to be reminiscing. Lu Ning had to give James Cameron a compliment. His acting was top-notch.
"You know? After hearing Lu Ning's performance, we were all stunned. Celine Dion said on the spot that she was not as good as Lu Ning. In the end, Lu Ning suggested that the two of them sing "My Heart Is Still" together. Unexpectedly, It worked so well.”
One by one, the insider was revealed. Tonight's reporters are happy, because there is too much material in tomorrow's newspaper.
"Well, thanks to all of our Titanic cast and crew who worked so hard to bring us such a classic movie."
With the host's voice, the premiere finally came to an end. At this time, everyone in the theater stood up and applauded again.
"Next, we have our Jack, and then present this classic "My Heart Is Still" for us."
The rest of the staff had already walked off the stage, leaving the stage alone to Lu Ning.
The prelude to "My Heart Is Still" sounded, and Lu Ning stood on the stage, a handsome young man, as if Jack appeared in front of everyone who loved everyone again.
"Evere night in my dreams I see you, Ifeel you.
hat is how I konw you go on
Far across the fistance And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone
Love was when I love you
One true time I hold to
In my life we’ll always go on
Near far wherever you are
I belive that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
. . .
. . . "
Lu Ning's low and magnetic voice drifted in the theater, and everyone seemed to be taken to the magnificent Titanic again.
Sadness came to my heart again, eyes reddened again, and in this slightly sad melody, the premiere of "Titanic" finally came to an end.
Everyone knows that today's premiere was a huge success, and the word-of-mouth "Titanic" received explosively unanimous praise.
The first steps to success have been taken, and now is the time to celebrate.
Paramount and 20th Century Fox have booked their hotels, and the rave starts in the early hours of the morning.
James Cameron was drunk again, but Lu Ning and Alice stopped at it, until dawn, and everyone left with satisfaction.
Lu Ning and Alice go directly to the airport, Alice will fly back to Miami, and Lu Ning will fly to Washington.
The two said goodbye at the airport. Alice's plane took off first, while Lu Ning waited quietly in the VIP room.
