Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Premiere

This summer, there are many blockbusters released. In addition to "Titanic", the most famous one is "Jurassic Park 2" directed by Steven Spielberg, and there are also "Speed 2", Nicholas Cage starred in "Con Air", and Luc Besson directed "The Fifth Element".

Among them, "The Fifth Element" poses the greatest threat to "Titanic".

"Titanic" premiered on May 6th, and "The Fifth Element" followed closely on May 7th, which can be described as a strong match.

For this reason, Bill Mechanic also specifically asked Don, and Don's answer was very simple, "Whether it's "The Fifth Element" or "Jurassic Park 2", my movie can sweep everything!"

Bill Mechanic smiled. Spielberg is not easy to deal with, but he still doesn't take a movie directed by a Frenchman seriously, "Young man, I hope everything is as you said."

After May, the big ship will finally set sail.

On this day, the lights in front of the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles were shining brightly, the red carpet was enchanting, fans screamed, and reporters held up cameras to capture every star who arrived.

"Wow! The real big star is here, it's Schwarzenegger! God, he's so strong!"

"Schwarzenegger is Cameron's good friend, so he will definitely come to support him, but I prefer... Wow! It's Keanu Reeves, he's so handsome!"

"Sandra Bullock is so beautiful, she and Keanu Reeves are a perfect match, I'm looking forward to the sequel to "Speed" starring them."

"Isn't this Spielberg? I didn't expect him to come too..."

...

"Titanic" is Bill Mechanic's last hope. This premiere ceremony was grand and grand, with all kinds of celebrities attending, no less than a world-class film festival.

Suddenly, the biggest cheers since the opening erupted at the entrance of the Chinese Theater. A row of neat black Mercedes-Benz cars brought the entire "Titanic" crew.

"Leonardo! Leonardo!"

The huge sound waves made people's eardrums tremble. The film's leading actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, was greatly welcomed by fans.

And the heroine Kate Winslet's popularity is also not to be underestimated.

Just...

"Huh? Who is that person next to Kate? Is she her boyfriend?" Seeing Kate Winslet walking onto the red carpet with a smile on her arm with a young boy, many people couldn't help but wonder and speculated about his identity.

"Boyfriend? No way, Kate is dating someone younger? I think it should be her younger brother."

"Brother? Don't be kidding, on such an important occasion, Kate's brain is broken and she will bring her younger brother here? It should be an important role in the movie..."

"Oh yes, yes, it should be like this, he should be the supporting actor, right? Tsk tsk, he's quite handsome, but I don't know how his acting skills are."

"Okay, okay, are you all stupid? You don't even know him? He is Dunn Walker!"

"Dunn Walker?" Everyone was stunned. Of course they had heard of Don's name and knew that he was a outspoken big mouth and the director of the movie, but they didn't expect... He was so young.

"How is this possible?"

When they learned of Don's identity, everyone exclaimed again and again, and even forgot to cheer and applaud when Cameron walked onto the red carpet.

Of course, Dunn didn't know the astonishment his appearance caused at the scene. He walked steadily on the soft red carpet, matching Kate's side, and he really looked like a talented man and a beautiful woman.

When they came to the media interview area, a dozen microphones were handed over immediately, "Director Walker, can you comment on Miss Winslet's performance in the movie?"

Dunn smiled and said: "Kate's performance is Oscar-level, and I believe no one can surpass her in portraying the role of 'Ruth'."

"Oscar?"

The reporter quickly grasped the key point from Don's words. Dunn said that Kate Winslet could win the Oscar for Best Actress next year. This is another big news!

"Miss Winslet, how do you evaluate Director Walker? Do you think his ability matches his age?"

Compared to the inexperienced Don, Kate is much better at dealing with reporters. She quickly realized the trap in the other party's question. This question is not good to say "match", and even worse to say "no match".

Kate smiled sweetly and resolved it calmly, "Dunn is an excellent director. Although he is only eighteen years old, he is a genius director and he has made a perfect film. At the same time, I also thank him for his guidance and help during the filming process."

"Are you two dating?"

This question is abrupt and impolite, but it is a common routine for media reporters. It just wants to irritate you and make you lose your temper on the red carpet, so that there will be big news tomorrow.

Dunn took the lead and smiled: "We are good friends."

Kate's answer was even more direct, "Thank you for your concern, but I already have a fiancé." 

Cameron, who arrived later, quickly resolved the awkwardness between the two young people with his veteran skills.

Backstage, they soon saw the leading actors of "Speed 2: Cruise Control", Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.

Both films were produced by Fox, and now they were here to support the premiere of "Titanic". Next month, Cameron, Dunn, and others would naturally go to support their film as well.

Meeting here allowed everyone to get acquainted.

Dunn had no feelings for Keanu Reeves, who looked gloomy and seemed to be physically drained, but he had a higher opinion of Sandra Bullock.

This woman was very capable! In her middle age, after forty, she was able to have a second peak in her career. Not only did she win an Oscar, but she was also able to get a salary of 20 million dollars plus 20% of the global box office share in a big-budget commercial film, and achieve great success.

Such an experience was unique in all of Hollywood!

"Hello, Miss Bullock. I admire your acting very much." Dunn smiled and shook her hand, feeling that her skin didn't look like that of a woman in her thirties at all.

Sandra Bullock's eyes curved with joy. "Call me Sandy. Can I call you Dunn?"

She was now an A-list actress, but for a young director with unlimited potential, she had to maintain the necessary respect and humility.

This was the survival rule of Hollywood.

Dunn understood this clearly. From her attitude, he could understand her intention to befriend him. "Of course, it's my honor. Maybe we'll have a chance to collaborate in the future."

"Really?" Sandra Bullock looked as innocent as a young girl, raising her fair chin and opening her lively eyes, making Dunn's heart flutter.

However, at this moment, Kate beside him discreetly tugged at his arm and smiled calmly. "Let's not stand here anymore. Let's go inside, shall we?"

...

"Kate, what happened just now?" Dunn didn't believe that Kate was jealous and deliberately prevented him from chatting and making friends with Sandra Bullock.

Kate hesitated for a moment, looked around, and lowered her voice. "She's Sandra Bullock. Don't you know?"

"Know what?" Dunn was taken aback.

Kate bit her lip and said, "The whole Hollywood is talking about it. I heard that she... she likes to collect men."

"Collect men?" Dunn's eyes widened in astonishment. "What do you mean? Like Madonna?"

Kate nodded slightly. "Something like that, but Sandra Bullock is much more careful than Madonna. Those handsome young actors rarely get past her."

Dunn broke out in a cold sweat and took a deep breath in fear. "Thank you, Kate. Luckily you reminded me. No wonder she secretly hooked my palm when we shook hands just now. So she's that kind of person. If... I would have become a laughingstock."

Kate pursed her lips and chuckled, shaking her head and whispering, "Dunn, although this is Hollywood, I think what Leon said to me makes a lot of sense."

"Oh? What did he say?"

"He said that if you're not looking to get married and just want to play around, it's best not to date Hollywood actresses, as it will affect your image. If you want to play, you can go for those blonde, long-legged models. They're younger and prettier than actresses, and you can change them every day without any problems. Their status... even if things get messy, it won't affect your career."

Dunn laughed in amusement. "I didn't expect Leonardo to be so smart. Do you want me to be like that too?"

"Isn't that good? With the least risk, you can satisfy the greatest desires... preferences of people like you."

Dunn shook his head and whispered, "Models... are okay occasionally, but... you know, women with status are more flavorful."

Kate was both embarrassed and angry. She glared at him, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

As the Fox TV host left the stage, the ceiling lights in the screening hall went out one by one, and a dazzling beam of light hit the big screen.

After a few seconds of the 20th Century Fox logo, a highly anticipated word finally flashed on the big screen - Titanic!

With the sound of a loud ship's horn, the Titanic's voyage officially began.
