On April 4, the Huaxia Academy Awards ceremony officially ended.

On April 5, most of the entertainment newspapers in the country reported the news about the award ceremony, "Fast and Furious 2" won most of the awards, and Tianwang Film and Television became the biggest winner.

And in addition to these, there is another news that accounts for a very high proportion - Wang Girl.

Zhao Liyin appeared on the red carpet with Wang Shang, making her, a star who was originally not well-known, instantly famous. And with this shareholder wind, Tianwang Film and Television Company is also focusing on packaging her. Within a day, Tianwang Film and Television Company announced that it was going to launch a new movie, called "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and Zhao Liyin was one of the hairpins, although the script was not written by Wang Shang, but Wang Shang had confidence in the script.

After the news came out, many people were envious of Zhao Liyin's good luck, and of course they couldn't help but maliciously guess whether it was exchanged for unspoken rules.

And those who accompanied the group saw Zhao Liyin's 'following the group', and they suddenly got this opportunity, and couldn't help sighing: "Why didn't you seize the opportunity?" ”

But it's a pity that when they wanted to perform, Wang Shang had already returned to the crew of "Transformers", and he couldn't perform if he wanted to.

On April 7, 2009, Universal Pictures announced a message: James. Cameron's "The Lord of the Rings" was officially completed on April 7, and the official release date is scheduled for September 2009.

The completion of "The Lord of the Rings" immediately caused a great sensation in the North American film market, and was reported in major newspapers in the United States.

"3D theaters are being remodeled at a rapid pace! The 3D movie revolution is coming!! ”

"Fans are already!!"

"The Father of Magic, can he make a big mark in the history of cinema?!"

"The Lord of the Rings is mighty, defeating Harry Potter. Strive for an early release!! ”

Countless avid Lord of the Rings fans spontaneously promoted the Lord of the Rings movie, and within a day, the North American Internet began to be flooded with news of the completion of The Lord of the Rings.

People who are very sensitive to movies immediately set their sights on "Harry Potter" and the "Transformers" crew, especially "Harry Potter", which is a strong contender for the first feature-length 3D film with "The Lord of the Rings".

The Los Angeles Times, a professional film media, published a very gimmicky article the next day. 2009 Movie of the Year

The article not only reported on the completion of "The Lord of the Rings", but also made a detailed comparative analysis of another movie "Harry Potter" that was launched at the same time, and gave a conclusion - "Harry Potter" is also about to be completed.

And the article also predicts the total box office of these two films......

"The gimmick of a 3D wilderness movie, a huge number of fans, an elite production team...... They may end up at the box office of more than $1.5 billion, and may surpass "Titanic"!! ”

At the end of this newspaper, there was also a slight mention of "Transformers", which is now being filmed by Huaxia Tianwang Film and Television, but it is not optimistic about the release date of "Transformers". Because the start date of "Transformers" is half a year late, it is a question whether it can be released this year. Of course, between the lines, the newspaper also expressed anticipation for the release of "Transformers".

Other newspapers have come to similar conclusions as the Los Angeles Times, with great confidence in the box office performance of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter," but they are not sure which movie will be released first.

"Transformers" was simply ignored.

In addition to the news that North America was finished by "The Lord of the Rings", the most sensational is the European Union, the birthplace of "The Lord of the Rings".

However, the mood of the European Union can be said to be quite complicated, "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" are both European novels. It can be said that it is an honor to be famous in the world at this time.

But the people in the EU are very unhappy, because this movie was not made by the EU itself, but by the United States, and many people in the EU feel embarrassed. This time, it can be said that it has stimulated a lot of EU filmmakers and made them have a strong desire for the development of national films.

Just when the world was making a sensation with "The Lord of the Rings". Universal, the production company of "The Lord of the Rings", would not have let go of this great opportunity for publicity and immediately began the first wave of publicity before the release.

There was no way to release the trailer, but the stills began to circulate on the Internet.

The hobbits live in a small farm in Matamata, with 5,000 square meters of vegetable and flower beds, quiet and peaceful, with blue skies and white clouds and clear green streams looking down.

There are also the Kawarau River, Lake Wakatipu, Glenorchy Mountain Forest......

A large number of beautiful stills immediately attracted a large number of "Lord of the Rings" fans and travel enthusiasts to New Zealand, and for a while, the number of tourists in New Zealand skyrocketed.

And the New Zealand government is also seizing this opportunity. Vigorously promote this film.

European Union, England State, Durham Cathedral, the location of the last two acts of Harry Potter.

At noon, it's time for a break.

Alfonso. Cuarón looked at the newspaper in his hand. muttered: "I didn't expect "The Lord of the Rings" to be so fast, it seems that I have to hurry up......"

The newspaper had been flown in from North America, and seeing the series of actions of "The Lord of the Rings", Alfonso couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Fortunately, "Transformers" is half a year slower, it shouldn't be possible to catch up with us, and there is one less opponent."

After reading the newspaper, Alfonso picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to the whole crew: "Young men, "The Lord of the Rings" has been completed, so I decided to change the working hours, and everyone will work harder during this time. We can't afford to fall too far behind and be ridiculed by others......"

Alfonso has always been majestic, and the crew naturally won't refute it, and they also have a goal in mind, that is, "Harry Potter" must be released before "The Lord of the Rings".

Moreover, there are not many unfilmed plots left in "Harry Potter" now, and there are still ten days left, and if you work overtime, it should be shortened to six or seven days.

In other words, around April 11, "Harry Potter" should be officially finished.

――――――――――

Magic City, a small island, the filming location of "Transformers".

Wang Shang also soon received the news of the completion of "The Lord of the Rings", and invited Michael Bay to discuss: "Now, let's roughly estimate the remaining plot of the movie, how many days will it take for "Transformers" to be completed." ”

"The plot of the seventh district, if you want to film, it should take 10 days......"

"The street closure is expected to take 15 days, and if you hurry up, it should be able to be reduced to 13 days......"

"There are still hand tails that have been submitted recently and need to be re-photographed, and it should be taken for an additional 5 days......"

"If I can go to the Forbidden City to shoot, it will take 2 days."

"And I have to go to the army to collect music, it may take 2 days here......"

The two took the script, carefully analyzed and predicted one by one, and finally concluded that "Transformers" would take about a month to finish.

Wang Shang looked at the timetable, took a deep breath, and said to Michael Bay: "It seems that we have to hurry up." ”

Michael Bay naturally knew Wang Shang's ambition to get ahead of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", and said with a smile: "Then several professional newspapers in the United States think that "Transformers" will not be completed so quickly, I am thinking, if we announce the completion of "Transformers" next month, I think the faces of those experts will be very exciting." ”

"Haha~~~" Wang Shang is also happy, although these newspapers are optimistic about the box office of "Transformers", they are not optimistic about whether it can be released this year, and they do not think that it will pose a threat to "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter".

"Then let's surprise them a little!! And if you can get the title of the world's first feature-length 3D movie, it will be excellent. ”

After saying that, the two laughed.

Wang Shang has this confidence, because he can provide background music or something, and he is also very familiar with the plot, and the editing speed will be very fast. The post-production of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" has nothing to do with the director, but it is up to the producer to decide how to cut it.

Therefore, the later "Transformers" should be faster than "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter......
