Sure enough, in the following days, the box office performance of "Titanic" was very stable, and it continued to increase rather than decrease.
The box office has risen to $35 million in its second week, and word-of-mouth is turning around.
It was previously ridiculed by film critics because of its high cost and poor box office performance. Therefore, the audience followed suit, which had a certain impact on the film's reputation.
But the dark clouds cannot cover the sun after all, and the high quality of "Titanic" has gradually won back the reputation it deserves. Many fans claim that this is the most touching love story they have ever seen.
As its reputation rebounded, its box office also began to gradually recover. By the third week, the weekly box office had reached 50 million U.S. dollars, making it the top of the weekly box office rankings, and the cumulative box office had reached 111 million U.S. dollars.
Although this kind of achievement is not enough to make back the original investment, it is enough to stop many people's mouths.
Because anyone with insight can see that the box office potential of "Titanic" is being unleashed, and this movie may be able to get a box office of 200 to 300 million US dollars in North America. Coupled with the overseas box office, the film will probably not lose money.
And a movie that can earn more than 500 million US dollars worldwide is a phenomenal movie.
A movie like this has great potential for commercial development. It is no exaggeration to say that various peripheral products can create an output value of at least one billion US dollars.
Therefore, "Titanic" will not only not lose money, but may also help Universal make a lot of money. Under such circumstances, if you dare to make sarcastic remarks again, you are asking for trouble.
…
In the end, "Titanic" was released in North America for 281 days, and it topped the weekly box office rankings for nearly four months.
In North America alone, it took in a box office of 600 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded 1.2 billion U.S. dollars. With an investment of US$200 million, Xiang Nan earned a box office of US$8.8 billion, making the faces of those who saw the joke swell.
At this time, no one dared to laugh at him anymore, instead there was deep respect and fear.
Such a movie that was almost destined to fail has achieved the highest box office in film history. This is simply a miracle, and Xiang Nan is naturally a god-like existence.
Since his debut, none of the films he has produced have failed, and almost every time he has made several times or more than ten times the profit.
Film masters such as Chaplin, Hitchcock, Akira Kurosawa, Kubrick, Spielberg, Francis Coppola, and Woody Allen failed to do this.
Therefore, Xiang Nandan's achievements in business are already unrivaled.
What's more, he also has "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "There Is a Heartless Earth", "Scent of a Woman", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Love Day", "Edward Scissorhands", "Philadelphia" "Story", "The Wire", "Goodfellas" and many other great films that have box office and reputation, and even won several Oscars for Best Picture.
His achievements in art are also impeccable.
Therefore, for such a person, the four words "film master" alone are not enough to match him. He can simply be called the "god of film" and deserves to be learned and respected by all filmmakers.
…
Xiang Nan's prestige is unparalleled in Hollywood.
The stock price of Universal Pictures also rebounded rapidly with the sales of "Titanic". It has now increased by 50%, and its market value has risen to 45 billion US dollars, equivalent to the sum of the four giants Fox, Paramount, Columbia and MGM.
Fox Pictures, which was once so prosperous, has now become nothing more than a joke. The fat pig that was delivered to the door was sold at a low price after being raised half way through, and ended up letting others pick the peaches. It was really as stupid as a pig.
Fox Film CEO Bill Kelmaker, who was previously praised by the media, has now been kicked out by angry Fox Film shareholders.
As the saying goes, things turn around, Xiang Nan even found it funny when he saw this scene.
…
In March, the Oscars kick off.
Xiang Nan attended this year's Oscars and invited Liv Tyler to walk on the red carpet.
Liv Tyler was born in 1977. Her father is Stephen Tyler, the lead singer of the famous band Skysmith. His records have sold up to 150 million copies worldwide.
In comparison, Queen's record sales are 130 million, which shows how popular Airsmith is.
Although Liv Tyler's parents divorced very early, when she grew up, she still relied on her father's relationship and quickly became famous in the industry.
She became a leading actor in the second year after her debut. In 1996, she starred in Bernardo Bertolucci's masterpiece "Stealing Beauty". Because of her beautiful appearance and refined temperament, she became an instant hit and was selected by "People" Magazine named her one of the fifty most beautiful people in the world.
It was also through "Stealing Beauty" that Xiang Nan learned that Liv Tyler had already made her debut.
Xiang Nan had seen her play the elf princess in "The Lord of the Rings" before. I have to say, she is really beautiful, fresh and refined, so I invited her to walk the red carpet with her.
After Liv Tyler received Xiang Nan's invitation, she immediately chose to accept it because Xiang Nan promised to let her be the heroine of the new film.
Steven Tyler was very depressed after hearing the news.
As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world. Xiang Nan's many love stories will always be known to others. Moreover, Stephen Tyler was also a master of all five kinds of drugs back then and had done all kinds of sex work. Xiang Nan's tricks couldn't be hidden from his eyes at all.
Inviting his daughter to attend award ceremonies, asking his daughter to be the heroine, and tailoring scripts for his daughter... these are all tricks he has played before.
Of course, his excuse for picking up girls is not filming movies, but music. For example, ask the girl to shoot a music video, write a love song for the girl, take the girl to a party, etc. This method is beneficial to all girls.
They are both thousand-year-old foxes, so he naturally understands Xiang Nan.
So of course he was not happy to see his daughter approaching the fire pit.
But he wanted to object, but he couldn't stop his daughter from being happy.
After all, the heroine in Xiang Nan's movie is wanted by all the actresses in Hollywood. Now that this opportunity was right in front of her, she would not refuse it unless she was crazy. Therefore, she finally chose to accompany Xiang Nan on the red carpet.
And walking on the red carpet with the elf princess, Xiang Nan was in a particularly happy mood.
…
"Charles, you and Liv walked the red carpet together, do you want to collaborate too?" the host asked with a smile.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Yes, I have a play that is very suitable for Miss Taylor, so I specially invited her to work with her."
"That's really great." The host smiled and congratulated, "I hope to see your new work come out soon."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled.
"By the way, Charles, now that the box office of "Titanic" has rebounded, do you have anything to say?" the host asked again curiously.
At that time, "Titanic" had just won its first weekly box office number one. The box office has not decreased but increased in the three weeks since its release. This phenomenon is rare in Hollywood.
"I just want to say that it's just the beginning." Xiang Nan smiled.
