For example, Pascal of Love, starring Du Haitao, was taken off the shelves one day after its release, with a cumulative box office of 4,000 yuan.
And some movies have been on display and have never been taken off the shelves.
Like the Titanic.
As mentioned in our last article, 1998 was the best year in film history, and Titanic was put on the screen in this year. As one of the greatest films of the 20th century, it will be shown every few years.
20 18 April, the 20th anniversary of the release of Titanic, Beijing International Film Festival sold out 2,000 screening tickets in 12 second with its absolute strength of "shooting five stars".
For more than 20 years, I have never been offline.
Titanic was adapted from a real event. After the sinking of the ship 19 12, it immediately became the headlines of major newspapers.
It can be said that the film reviews have never stopped, and they are all lamenting the love between the two people that touched the world. The plot is written by people who love it.
Today, I will take you to see the stories behind the Titanic.
First of all, when Jack promised to draw a sketch for Ruth, Ruth walked up to Lizzie in her pajamas. Originally, Xiao should say "lie on the sofa", but because she was nervous, she said "lie on the bed" ... on the sofa. James Cameron saw this interesting scene and left it behind.
Kate came home from the audition and felt that she liked the role more and more. She writes to James Cameron every day and tells him that she is Ruth. She also ran to Los Angeles and kept calling him until she finally got the role. She said, "You don't understand. I'm Ruth, and this role is tailor-made for me. I don't understand why you are still auditioning for others. "
At first, Jack chose the role of Matthew McConaughey, but director James Cameron insisted on using Xiaolizi, because Xiaolizi and kate winslet were already in the play before the script was written. At that time, James Cameron's play only had an outline of 165 pages.
Many core elements in the film are directly drawn from real events. For example, in another scene, before two little girls got on the lifeboat, a man said, "It will be over in one minute", based on an interview with the surviving little girl afterwards.
I still remember Xiao Lizi standing on the boat and saying "I am the king of the world"! Really? Later, this line was chosen as the best 100 line in the history of movies, and was named the fourth in 2007. In fact, this line is a little improvisation, not in the script.
Jack and Ruth were at the boat (Ruth was hugged by Jack and said, "I flew, Jack"). At that time, the dusk light was not CG special effect, but real dusk. James Cameron knows that the shooting at this time is almost perfect.
All the sketches in the film, including the one where Jack is drawing naked Ruth, were drawn by James Cameron himself, except that James Cameron is left-handed and right-handed, so he uses a mirror version.
At first, when Kate Winslet knew it was necessary to shoot nude scenes in front of Xiaolizi, Kate felt that she had to take them off anyway to break the embarrassing situation, so when they met for the first time, she opened her coat in front of Xiaolizi and showed it to him first, including sketching the scene on the sofa. This was the first time to shoot.
James Cameron can be said to be a very strict director. When shooting the lifeboat scene, in order to increase the sense of reality of being immersed in the water for a long time, the director ordered anyone who dared to run out of the water before the filming ended, and he would be the first to fire him, which led many actors including Kate Winslet to "release" themselves in the water. ...
The budget of the whole movie was $65.438+35 million from the beginning, but James Cameron spent all the money in less than two months, so he asked Paramount Pictures to invest an additional 65 million yuan in exchange for the distribution rights in the United States. But this is the best deal for Paramount, because the final box office of Titanic reached an astonishing $654.38+08 billion, until it was surpassed by Avatar in 2009.
Unfortunately, both films were directed by James Cameron. ...
The rooms of Ruth and her fiance Carl are actually B54 and B56 on B2. At first, these rooms were reserved by American billionaire J·P· Morgan, but in the end, they were cancelled temporarily, which also spared him. The White Star Shipping Company where Titanic is located has just been acquired by Morgan Consortium.
Everyone may have noticed a scene where two elderly couples were hugging and the lady refused when she was invited to board the lifeboat. She said, "Since we lived together, we should die together." The couple in the film are actually the owners and proprietress of Macy's, an American chain giant. Both of them were unfortunately killed on the Titanic.
At that time, when Jack was invited by Carl for the first time to attend a dinner party with them, a woman named Mary helped Jack very enthusiastically. She also took out her son's clothes for Jack to wear, which created an amazing scene of Jack coming down the stairs smartly, which made Ruth sit up and take notice. Carl says you look like a gentleman when you put on all your clothes. This lady actually existed, and later she gave an award to a captain who participated in the rescue operation.
Director James Cameron's original idea of filming Titanic actually came from his own scuba diving enthusiast with a diving license. He said that he wanted to shoot this story because he wanted to sneak into the Titanic and find out the answer.
And the story of all this begins with the two tickets that the lush boy won. ...
Later, old Ruth said in an interview:
He saved me. In every way a person can be saved, I can't even imagine him. He only lives in my memory. He tried everything to save me. I don't even have a picture of him. He lives only in my memory.
This love myth created by Cameron was selected by the Library of Congress in 20 17, and added to the film collection with cultural, social or aesthetic significance designated by the library, thus obtaining permanent protection at the national level.
It is a well-deserved masterpiece in the history of movies.
A classic, often memorable, can hit the depths of the soul, just like the theme song of the movie sings.
My heart is eternal.
