Chapter 768 "The Lord of the Rings" premiered
At 6 p.m., Hollywood's Emirates Rock Theatre was crowded with people, and the long red carpet stretched from the theater to the side of the road, surrounded by reporters carrying long guns and short guns, movie fans from all over the world, and a large number of protesting book fans.
"The demon guide is here!"
"The demon guide is here!"
A Cadillac slowly stopped in front of the red carpet, and John stepped out of the car, instantly causing a riot in the crowd.
John hasn't appeared in front of people for a long time, and this time he is back with what is known as the most difficult film adaptation in history, which can be said to have earned enough attention.
John got out of the car, sorted out a black T-shirt, and then walked on the red carpet, the fans on both sides held posters and shouted his name, John smiled at the fans, raised his hand and waved, and interacted with the fans cordially, he had been away for too long, but the fans did not forget him.
"Resolutely resist the adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings"!"
"Can't ruin The Lord of the Rings!"
The book fans on the side saw John walking on the red carpet, and also raised their arms and shouted, John turned his head to look at the book fans, and didn't say anything, time will tell, the work is the best explanation, and when these book fans walked into the theater, John believed that these people would definitely change.
John walked into the screening room, where there were already a lot of people gathered, and Davin Morgan and Lucas were standing in the empty seats in the front row, chatting.
Devon Morgan has been looking at "Star Wars" for a long time, and is trying to get Lucasfilm, although the new line has a lot of copyrights that are popular all over the world, no film company will think that it has too many copyrights, and this is "Star Wars"!
On the other hand, Joanna Phillip is also chatting with the president of Sony Pictures, although Marvel needs group relief every year, but it is still targeted by many companies, some companies take a fancy to its heroic copyrights, and some value its online literature website.
The Marvel literature website has been online for a year, compared with traditional publishers, the network website has lowered the threshold for publishing books, so the Marvel literature website has attracted many authors to join as soon as it was launched. Google and other websites have joined forces, high-quality content and comprehensive promotion, bringing a large number of readers, although it is still losing money, but the future can be expected, when computers and mobile phones are popularized, netizens increase, Marvel literature website, will be able to usher in rapid development, although this time will be relatively long, but the crown group can afford to wait, John can afford to wait.
"Boss! You're dressed very well today!"
John walked to the front row and sat down next to Nancy, who turned her head to look at him.
"Don't you do the same!" John glanced at Nancy, today Nancy is also dressed casually, changing the appearance of a professional outfit in the past, Nancy is in charge of the world's two major brokerage companies, and there are countless superstars in her hands, it can be said that in addition to Devin Morgan, she is the most powerful woman in Hollywood today, at her level, it doesn't matter what she wears, even if she wears a pure white casual shirt, no one dares to despise her, she likes to go with her heart now, how comfortable and how to come.
"I heard that Yahoo is willing to buy Marvel Group for $3 billion plus 5%!" Nancy just happened to hear Yahoo president and Joanna Phillip chatting about Yahoo's willingness to buy Marvel Group at a high price.
"Hehe!" John sneered, 3 billion US dollars want to buy Marvel, is this a dream? After Marvel was acquired by Di Baobao, it attracted tens of billions of dollars for Di Baobao every year, and the current Marvel is not the Marvel of the past.
Now Marvel is not only engaged in the comic business, but also adds the Internet, video, traditional publishing, games, and peripheral manufacturing.
So even if he takes $300 billion, John will not necessarily sell it, Marvel, as the upstream of the entire industry, plays a huge role, and Crown Group's movies, TV series, games, peripherals, theme parks, brokerage companies, music, ...... and other downstream industries, they all need him to provide content support, and if he is sold, the crown group will be equivalent to cutting off its own arm, and the entire industrial chain will become imperfect.
In the future, content is king, ATT buys Warner, and Baby Di buys everywhere, isn't it just for the content? John is selling Marvel now unless his head is caught in the door.
......
The time entered seven o'clock, and after the seats in the screening hall were gradually filled, the lights dimmed, and the opening credits of Crown Group and New Line Pictures flashed on the giant screen, and then the giant screen dimmed, and a low song came from the surrounding stereos, and a woman read a monologue ...... in a subdued voice.
"It's... This is... This is Kunling!"
In the last row of the screening room, Michael Collins clenched his fists excitedly, as a fan of "The Lord of the Rings", it was an exciting thing to hear the Quenya language with his own ears.
In The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien not only depicted the grandeur of Middle-earth, but also created the Quenya language, which is now brought to the big screen by John.
"The world has changed, I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air, everything that used to be was lost, and now no one remembers it...... It all started with the casting of the Ring...... ”
The plot, in the monologue of Queen Galadriel, slowly began to move forward, an epic battle kicked off in the monologue, the Terrans, elves, and dwarves allied against Mordor, and finally the victory chose the side of justice, Modo was eliminated, and the human king got the Supreme Ring, but the human king's mind was bewitched by the Supreme Ring, and finally died in Huangquan, and the Supreme Ring also fell into the hands of Gollum...... In the end, it was obtained by Bilbo.
John told the cause of the whole story in the simplest way, even if you are not a fan of the book, you can roughly understand the background of the story when you see such an opening, and you will not be confused.
After the background of the story is clearly explained, the camera switches, and Bill Bobaggins's voice slowly sounds, and as he narrates, the picturesque Charles appears on the giant screen.
The sky is blue, the trees are green, the farms are luxuriant, the river is meandering and clear, the hobbits who yearn for freedom work in the fields, and the children laugh and play in ......the villages.
"This is Charles, this is Charles!"
Book lover Michael Collins looked excitedly at the camera on the giant screen, he had fantasized about Tolkien's Charles countless times, and now he finally saw it, which was as beautiful, peaceful, leisurely and free as he imagined Charles!
The camera slowly progresses, and the main characters also appear one by one, Gandalf, Frodo, Bilbo, Meli, Pippin, Sam, .......
