The effects of "Titanic" were far more than that.
The film critics lost their voices collectively, followed by collective amnesia, and every newspaper was talking about "Titanic" and everything that "Titanic" brought.
"Empire" magazine quickly changed the film rating of "Titanic" after the out cry of readers of the magazine, and it regained five stars.
"New York Times" launched a special investigation and report on "Why Titanic is so popular".
Top teen film magazines named the two leading actors as the most popular movie stars of the moment, and there's even a whole new craze named after them;
"Leonardo DiCaprio is a very talented actor and this has been proved through the past projects like "Total eclipse of love" and "Basketball diaries". But the Leonardo we are seeing in "Romeo and Juliet" and "Titanic" has crossed all the boundaries of handsomeness and beauty. Calling him rebirth of Marlin Brando or David Bowie would not be wrong. While the other leading actress Eve Thompson, there is not much to say about her appearance and beauty, as she's already the most beautiful woman in Hollywood without a doubt. With only two movies, she had become the sweetheart crush of all the teenagers, but the release of "Titanic" has broken almost all the age gaps in her popularity. She is currently the most popular actress in Hollywood at the age of just seventeen."
Needless to say, an unprecedented
masterpiece was born!
The industry authority belonging to film critics has been brutally destroyed. The successful counterattack of a "Titanic" even became popular all over the world, making Hollywood wonder whether it is necessary to continue spending money on film critics for public relations.
James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", finally doesn't have to worry about his future career. He is gearing up to write a letter to the "New York Times" to refute some of the film critics who jumped the hardest and scolded the worst. I personally went out to take off their faces and stomped on them again, and let out a bad breath.
Leonardo had a phenomenal success with the film, approaching veteran Hollywood A-listers Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and others in popularity, and his fans didn't think he was that rough. He is regarded as a young "David Bowie", because he also have the charm that makes countless girls crazy.
As for the treatment Eve recieved, it is not much different from Leonardo.
Eve Thompson had become a name that no one in the industry can ignore anymore, wether they like her or not. She was also associated with many famous names, like the young Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. But the funny thing is that, no one associates Eve with Marilyn Monroe. It may be due to the fact that despite having the dreamy blonde looks and appearance, Eve has not yet played any roles showing her boundless charm and sex appeal. She has always appeared reserved in public and all her roles have been classical plays.
In the "Titanic's" success party arranged by Fox, Eve was surrounded by many people coming to congratulate her or invite her to star in their projects. After all, among the three protagonist of the banquet today, only Eve Thompson is easy to talk and access.
As for the other two, James Cameron was in middle of directors and big bosses circle, and only few people have access to it. As for Leonardo DiCaprio, he was only seen at the beginning and then disappeared with his friends the moment party started. In the end, only Eve was left for everyone to target.
Eve was feeling uncomfortable now. If today's party wasn't arranged by Fox and was for "Titanic" , she would've never come. Greeting so many people continuously whom she doesn't know, and will forget the moment next person appears, is a very tiring and uncomfortable thing.
And ironically, to attend this party, she had to face the glares of Director Martin Beast for whole two days when she asked for a leave. He was like as he would pounce on her the moment she said one more word. She really wanted to cry at that time. It's not her fault if the paparazzi's harassment was hindering the crew's work. He should be angry at them, not her.
While Eve was laughing and crying at her situation, a hand was placed on her shoulder. She looked back and it was the missing Leo.
Just as Eve was about to scold him, Leonardo said: "Go take a rest, I will deal here."
He was happily drinking with Toby and others, but Eve's miserable appearence made his heart soften again, and he had to come to the rescue.
Eve's anger and scoldings disappeared the moment she saw Leo's concerned face. She nodded to him: "Thanks, I will be back in a while."
She went to the quiet back garden of the four season hotel. She sat on the bench and took a deep breath. The quiet and pleasant atmosphere made her calm and refreshed again. It seemed as if all the anxiety had disappeared, and was replaced with calm and freshness of the place.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind made her alert: "It's pleasent here, isn't?"
Eve was stunned and looked back. A familiar figure came out from the other end.

P.S. Guess who's here?
>> Recommend some movies next for Eve to star in. I am currently thinking about "The Mummy", "Matrix" and "Fight Club".
