Chapter 439: The Lord of the Rings Small Village Hobbiton

"Welcome to New Zealand, Mr. and Mrs. Williams!" Peter Jackson said hello to Henry and the others.

Henry nodded and smiled at him.

"Mr. Williams, this is the Mayor of Wellington, New Zealand, Led Alec!" Peter Jackson pointed to a middle-aged New Zealand man in a suit behind him.

With a smile on his face, Led Alec stepped forward and greeted, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to New Zealand!"

"Hello, Mayor Led Alec!" Henry smiled at him and shook his hand.

Mayor Led Alec smiled and said, "Mr. Williams, we have prepared your room at InterContinental Wellington Resort and arranged for the chef to cook our specialty, we hope you can hope for it!"

"Thank you, Mayor Alec!"

……

InterContinental Wellington Resort & Spa is a 5-star hotel conveniently located in the heart of the city, surrounded by the National Museum of New Zealand, Wellington Botanic Gardens, Wellington Zoo, Wellington Victoria Hill and many more.

Wellington's most popular filming location is Mount Victoria, which is within walking distance of the city centre. The forest in the mountains is transformed into the Hobbiton Forest in the movie, where the hobbits hide from the Black Knight.

Henry and the others had a Wellington dinner that night.

Wellington is rich in sheep and lamb is delicious, especially roasted lamb or lamb chops. In addition, there is a large production of fish here, the quality is delicious, there are freshwater eels, mutton birds, spiny sea urchins, lobsters, shrimp, abalone, etc., it is simply a seafood feast!

After a good night's rest, the next day I picked up a few of Wellington's more famous attractions.

This time, I mainly went to the filming locations of "The Lord of the Rings", especially the quiet town of Middle-earth that was incarnated in the movie. This filming location is simply a paradise that movie fans yearn for in this life, and its name is "Hobbiton"!

Whether it's the Hobbit trilogy or the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it's all about where the story begins!

After a few days in Wellington, I went to this "Hobbiton". Surrounded by mountains, Hobbiton is located near the town of Matamata in New Zealand's North Island. Peter Jackson spent nine months building Hobbiton, and it looks not much different from his previous life.

When Henry and the others came here, the crew came to greet them.

Not to mention that Henry is the richest man in the world, just as the boss of Galaxy Film Company, they also have to work hard to please.

Everyone simply said hello and walked into Hobbiton together.

Henry had seen Hobbiton in the movies, so he was much calmer, while Karina, Helen and Princess Ulysses were all full of surprise. The most distinctive feature of this place is that the houses are built on a hill, covered with grass, and some have a large tree, and there is a round gate and window outside.

This kind of building is so new that Karina and her sisters can't wait to go in and have a look.

Peter Jackson said, "Mr. Williams, what do you think of the construction here?"

"It's pretty cool, it's like a paradise!" Henry complimented heartily, "Jackson, after the Lord of the Rings trilogy is filmed, I can guarantee that this will be a tourist attraction! Oh, by the way, Jackson, hurry up and negotiate with the local government to buy this place!"

"Buy this place, Mr. Williams, it's a big place, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of money to buy it!"

"It's okay, I'm sure you'll earn it back sooner or later!" said Henry.

"Alright then, I'll contact the local government later! Now, I'll show you the charm of Hobbiton!"

……

After playing all afternoon, I didn't feel tired, as if I was in a fairy tale world!

During the dinner, everyone went to the Green Dragon Inn to taste pure brew while taking in the beautiful lake and the hobbit village on the hills. After nightfall, the Hulk Dragon Inn is lit up, and the locals start singing and dancing to welcome Henry and the others!

Hobbiton is actually a farm, so naturally there will be normal farmhouses. However, Henry and Karina chose to stay in the Pocket Cave to experience this unique feeling.

Hobbiton is quiet at night, and the moonlight is like a bath. Henry's only complaint was that the bed was too small. It's hard to sleep two people, let alone four people.

The next day, local government officials came and discussed with Henry about buying the land.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you!" a pot-bellied middle-aged man held out his hand and greeted Henry, "I'm Tony Cummins, the mayor of Matamata!"

"Hello, Mayor Tony Cummins!" said Henry, "I mean, I guess you know that. ”

"Yes, Mr. Williams," Tony Cummins asked, nodding and smiling, "and how much money is Mr. Williams prepared to contribute?"

"How about $10 million, buying this farm, it must be enough!"

Tony Cummins is shrewd, his eyes are shining, and Hobbiton is built in such a self-contained style that it is sure to attract a lot of tourists once the movie is released. At first, Tony Cummins let Peter Jackson use the land here for free for tourism development, but now, since the other party wants to buy this land, the price can't be cheap!

"$20 million!!" Tony Cummins said after a moment's thought.

"Okay!" Henry didn't counteroffer at all, and nodded his head in agreement.

Tony Cummins was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be so refreshing, and he didn't even bargain, is this a local tyrant?

Tony Cummins looked at Henry with some confusion.

"Mayor Tony Cummins, when are we going to sign a contract?!" Henry asked with a smile, and once the movie is released, Hobbiton will definitely become a New Zealand signature attraction. What about $20 million in tourism revenue?

"Uh, this ......," Tony Cummins hesitated.

"Mayor Tony Cummins, I hope to complete the signing as soon as possible because I'm not going to be here for long. Henry said.

Tony Cummins shook his head helplessly, sighed slightly, and shouted a little higher if he knew it!

"Well, Mr. Williams, since you're so cheerful, I won't procrastinate, probably...... I can sign tomorrow!" said Toni Cummins.

"Hmm!" Henry nodded, "then tomorrow!!
