Chapter 254: Christmas Party

Seeing the familiar color palette and scenes, Daniel also watched it with great interest, the third part of the series, he did not participate in the whole process, he has not seen any edited version, and even the promotional video has not been clicked on so far.

So it's quite fresh.

"I'm back"

The last line is reversed, and the ending song of "into-the-west" sounds.

The main actor's name appears along with the portrait on the end credits, which was proposed by McLean, and Ian Sr. made the suggestion out of "selfishness", but was suggested by Peter Brown. Jackson adopted.

Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of memories when the plot of the third part was filmed, such as the ending song "into-the-west", when they were filming in New Zealand, there was a seriously ill teenager who was taken to the scene by Peter to watch the filming process, and then he died of a serious illness, and the screenwriter was touched to write this song, which Peter used as the ending song.

After the movie ended, Daniel sat there, unmoved for a long time amid applause.

It's over.

The final installment of this masterpiece will be released simultaneously in North America and major European countries on December 17, and observers believe it is likely to beat "Pirates of the Caribbean" to become the box office champion of the year. Iger pushed the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to 353.42 million, but "The Return of the King" is regarded as a blockbuster with a base of 400 million.

Wellington's rare hustle and bustle has returned to quiet with the premiere of The Return of the King, and the townspeople here will probably be relishing the party for a long time.

The next day's newspapers, the local media in New Zealand were all "The premiere of "The Return of the King", Daniel was awarded the Wellington Honorary Citizen Medal", several major newspapers, repeatedly counting Daniel's achievements in all aspects since he entered the industry, and even his previous transaction with Apple to become a shareholder of Apple, have been put in, which shows how detailed the homework these media have done to make Daniel more "valuable".

Daniel is more remarkable. This means that the wiser Wellington's move is, the easier it is for the inhabitants of the natural island nation to develop a sense of pride.

In North America, Daniel was awarded the medal for essentially publishing news independently. The news of the premiere of "The Return of the King" is a little more watched, and it is difficult for any media to underestimate this finale, whether at the box office or in the Oscars, the first and second parts of the series are ranked in the top 25 on IMDB on the judges of film history. The only one with this honor is the "Godfather" series, which ranked second and third in the first and second parts respectively, and it was only after the release of "The Shawshank Redemption" in 1994 that they were squeezed out of the first and second place.

"The Return of the King" is the finale, and the final battle will begin, and it is to be expected that it will be the most exciting and magnificent part of the trilogy, and the quality of the first two parts is put there, and no one thinks that Peter will suffer Waterloo on this one.

The Oscar has pressed the "Lord of the Rings" for two years, and this time it should be given an explanation. This is the consensus of Oscar watchers.

At present, it seems that there are not too many powerful works this year and "The Return of the King", not to mention that it is carrying the power of three to fight for this Oscar.

Peter. Jackson is considered the undoubted favorite for best director.

In any case, "The Return of the King", which held its premiere, is indeed beautiful, and everyone is waiting for what kind of results this movie can achieve when it is released on the 17th.

Mountain Hawk's forecast report suggests that its North American box office will surpass "Pirates of the Caribbean" by reaching 380 million to 400 million, but it should not exceed "Greek Wedding" figures.

……

"Yes. We confirm that the Admissions Committee has just unanimously approved Daniel. Mr. Sandler's application, whether on the SAT or in any other program. He has all received very good reviews. In fact, he was a popular applicant. If he attends regularly, he will become a first-year student at Berkeley's Haas School of Business next fall, and we look forward to his arrival. ”

"What is certain. We have received his application, but the outcome has not yet been determined. ”

New York University responded to reporters' questions after Daniel said in an interview that he would go to Berkeley.

Obviously, Daniel, who applied to both Berkeley and New York University, offended New York University this time.

But, who cares, he is already a prospective freshman at Berkeley, and then he just needs to follow the steps, and when he enrolls at the end of August next year, he will see his college life - it may be special, different from the average student's college life. He can't stay in school honestly all day long, of course, he can't fish for three days and dry nets for two days, Berkeley, one of the top ten universities in the United States, it is impossible to allow such students, not to mention that he is still a global idol, if he indulges Daniel, not only will he not get the bonus of his fame to the school's publicity, but will make everyone doubt its professionalism.

Getting the news before Christmas is the best gift for Daniel, but Collins, Cussa and the others can't afford to make a big deal about his upcoming college trip.

But with the opportunity of Christmas.

Daniel threw a Christmas party at his Malibu mansion to commemorate his imminent departure from Hollywood.

"The guests are even more star-studded than the last Oscars red carpet."

Here's what the media had to say about the party.

Tom. Mr. and Mrs. Hanks, Russell. Crowe, Pitt, Aniston, Johnny. Mr. and Mrs. Depp, Julia. Roberts, Cameron. Diaz, Matt. Damon and Ben. Affrak, Natalie. Portman, Heath. Ledger and Naomi. Watts the couple, plus Paul. Mr. and Mrs. Walker...... In the past few years, whether it is his strong friends or opponents in Hollywood, they all took the invitations he sent and came to the door very face-saving.

It's no wonder that the media said that the guests who came were even more star-studded than the Oscars, and there were more than a dozen first-line stars in Hollywood.

If the Oscar nominations are a little niche this year, I'm afraid there are really not so many first-line stars.

"Are they telling me that I can really never go back?"

After getting the reply, Daniel asked Sally.

Let's be honest, like Brad. Pete and Jennifer, they have some face-saving affection, but it doesn't stop there, even if they cooperate with Aniston once, they seem to have a good relationship, but in fact, everyone knows that the friendship is only general. Daniel handed over an invitation, just to avoid embarrassment when asked about the party.

However, they actually came like this, including Matt. The same goes for Damon.

However, there are actually a few who are keen to analyze Daniel's guests and his relationship, and more media are lamenting Daniel's influence.

Not everyone can have such a group of guests.

In a general sense, Hollywood parties are the most intuitive expression of this person's influence. The parties of the seven major studios are generally the hottest, such as the Oscar celebration banquet of "Vanity Fair", which is attached to the awards ceremony, and the same is true of Miramax's lunch party.

Maybe this is the first time Daniel has posted a hero post, and everyone has the mentality of wanting to give him face.

Either way, after the release of "The Return of the King" last Wednesday, Daniel once again slaughtered the entertainment media.

……

After a lap of socializing, Daniel was tired and half dead.

"The scenery is endless."

"It's a lot of effort." Daniel beckoned the waiter to bring a glass of water. Although he hosted the party, but this level and scale of the event, it is definitely not something that a few people can handle, handed over to the party company, and spent nearly 80,000 US dollars to have the current atmosphere, just the wine, it is worth 3 or 40,000 yuan, not to mention those rare ingredients.

Peter. Jackson is also a hot person now, and it is not easy for the two of them to take the time to chat a few words.

"That monkey movie, how are the preparations?"

Peter gave him a roll of the eye, "You won't play again." ”

Daniel was talking about King Kong, and the movie was actually pretty good, but Universal Pictures and Peter still had too high expectations for it.

With an investment of $200 million -- Obviously, Universal Pictures, which has made a lot of money in the past two years, intends to play big.

Weta Digital originally planned to participate in the investment, but Daniel made it clear that he objected, he believed that too much investment was a problem, according to this investment amount, the global box office must be at least 5 or 600 million, and the box office could be flat, there is really not much investment value, it is better to simply do a global business.

Richard. Taylor eventually agreed with Daniel's opinion, and with two votes to one, Peter had to take a step back.

"Did Serkis agree to act?"

Last time, Peter mentioned to him that he wanted to invite Andy Cliff in the role of "Gollum" in "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy". Serkis plays King Kong - a character who doesn't show his real face.

Although it is impossible to imagine that the scrawny Gollum and the huge King Kong are played by the same person, it is more about technical performance, capturing movements and expressions, and so on. Andy. Serkis was obviously quite talented in this way, otherwise Peter would not have insisted on inviting him to play King Kong.

"Are you really uninterested in that? If you could spare two months in the first half of 2005, I think you could be a part of it, and I'd love to really work with you on a work. ”

Peter spoke sincerely, but Daniel really had no interest in it.

Because after "The Return of the King" was released on the 17th, it was 55.43 million on the first day of the world, breaking the box office record on Wednesday. In an interview, Jackson thanked the audience and the media for the attention the trilogy has received since its screening, and Daniel certainly couldn't be missed, and he also expressed his desire to work with Daniel on a film at the time.

Of course, at that time, Daniel had already rejected him, he wanted to stir it up, and Daniel had no opinion.

In fact, according to the plan, "King Kong" will be filmed in the year after tomorrow, and it will definitely not match his time.

Still, Peter is still asking this question, apparently unwillingly. (To be continued.) )
