Returning to Los Angeles from India a week later than expected, the final scene did not go well, and some scenes were filmed on the streets of Goa. Greengrass underestimated Daniel's popularity in India, as long as he appeared on the street, there was always no way to shoot well in the end, a group of big girls and little girls, gathered around the border where the staff held hands, and screamed in Hindi and English, but Paul used a hand-held camera, and several photographers were so frightened by this sudden scream that they almost threw off the idea.

Daniel came out and said it a few times, but it didn't work.

In the end, through official assistance, the local police were invited to relieve the scene, and the filming was completed, but the Indian bureaucracy still impressed the crew of "Spy Shadow", and in order to coordinate this matter, it dragged them for more than half a week.

Paul privately said that he would never come to this kind of place to film again.

Originally, everyone thought that Bollywood was somewhat famous, and they thought that the filming conditions in India would not be very bad, but obviously, this amazing country gave everyone a deep memory.

……

New Line Pictures prepared a huge world premiere for "The Return of the King," and he almost missed it.

So after a day of rest in Los Angeles, it was time to fly to Wellington, New Zealand.

As the final installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, this premiere was highly anticipated, and two months ago, when New Line Pictures set the premiere location, it caused a lot of controversy. Jackson tried to hold the premiere in his native New Zealand, and Saya's original hope was to hold it in Hollywood, after all, the biggest market for the film is still North America, and in New Zealand, I am afraid that the influence is much smaller.

In the end, though, Peter convinces Saya, of course, his good friend, the executive of the new line, Mark Brown. Odesky made a big move. He was the person in charge of preparing for the premiere, and his opinions were very important.

Coming out of the airport, the whole of Wellington was occupied by "The Return of the King", high-rise buildings. Bus, street lamp flags...... There are big posters of "The Return of the King" everywhere.

This time, it's Cusa. Damon came with Daniel, and the two looked at this posture and were a little surprised.

They certainly understand the importance of The Lord of the Rings to this small country in Oceania. But I didn't expect Wellington, as the capital, to express it so unabashedly.

Whether it's Cussa or Daniel, born in the United States or China, it's hard to understand such a thing.

But if they knew how much tourism revenue the Lord of the Rings series had generated for New Zealand in the past two or three years, they wouldn't think that this was a big deal, and it was enough to significantly boost the country's economy.

So Wellington Mayor Kelly. Prindgas will personally preside over the press conference before the premiere, and the number of invited guests and audiences. More than 2000.

They will be ahead of millions of Lord of the Rings fans around the world with a sneak peek at the Ambassador Theatre in Wellington.

……

Frodo Ilya. Wood, Aragonese Vigo. Morrison, Gandalf Ian. McLean, and the elf princess Liv. Taylor...... The main actors are basically all here, and they have actually met a few times, because there are some supplementary shots, and they were later asked to make up the shooting, but Daniel, because he couldn't spare time. In addition, I had a reshoot before, so I didn't return to New Zealand, and I didn't see this group of people again.

"Didn't Christopher come?"

Before the press conference began, everyone sat together and chatted. Peter. Both Jackson and Francis went to accompany the mayor, and their group of actors waited in the break room to appear.

Liv. Taylor has a big red flower hanging in front of her, much slimmer than in "The Two Towers", although she played a fairly important female role in "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", but it seems that the benefits are not as good as Kate. Blanchett more, Blanchett since starring as Queen Elizabeth. has always been called the queen's temperament, playing the role of Kailan. After Treil, this nickname has been even more confirmed, the Elf Queen from Australia, which is the name given to her by many media, and the previous Daniel, but since Jack. Captain Sparrow was born, and he had won an Oscar before, so the prefixes of his name became varied.

The youngest Oscar winner-

The Elven Prince-

Captain Jack -

Cool Agent -

There is basically no uniform title, which is certainly a remarkable achievement for Daniel.

Heard him ask about Saruman's actor, Christopher. Lee, Ilya. Wood blinked, pursed his lips and couldn't hold back his laughter, and McLean and Viggo looked at each other, more helplessly.

"The old man was deleted from the scene, so he was angry and didn't come today."

Daniel's eyes widened.

The personality of this legend is free and easy enough.

Several people frowned for a while, and stopped talking about him.

The topic began to revolve around the previous dispute between the elves and the captains, Daniel found that the rules of Hollywood are simply entrenched, three years ago, when he joined the group to shoot the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", although everyone is not a big star, more polite, but the topic always revolves around Viggo, Ian, Blanchett and other older actors, and then as his status in Hollywood gets higher and higher, every time they meet, most of the talk is his topic. This kind of subtle centrality does not seem to be deliberate, but very natural.

He had a casual conversation with Cusa before he came, and Cusa felt that it was because he had many topics and a wide range of topics, which could be used as a conversation to kill time and prevent embarrassment.

He thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Ilya smiled and said that seeing the fierce fight on the Internet, if it weren't for his agent's refusal, he would have planned to support the elves on MB.

"Daniel, you turn my MB next, I only have less than 100,000 followers, you are almost 10 million, I really hope when I can have so many followers."

"It's more than 10 million, it seems like two days ago, oh, I remember that the official website of MB also hung a promotional banner on the page header, 7 zeros, all of which are bent into small green caterpillars, which is very interesting." Liv. Taylor is an MB enthusiast who often poops his daily life and has a little more followers than Ilya.

"Do you all have your own MB?"

Viggo is a conservative and not very keen on this novelty, and when he hears you start talking about it one by one, he can't help but wonder.

Unexpectedly, the eldest McLean laughed at him, saying that he was not as good as himself, and he had 150,000 followers.

A group of well-fed celebrities, in addition to chatting about gossip, is of course a very good choice to talk about some compassionate topics.

Speaking of which, every time Daniel has something news, reporters like to ask this group of actors who have worked with the Lord of the Rings, and after that, they will call and "complain" to Daniel, which makes everyone's relationship good. You know, although in the media reports, it seems that if you work together, you will become good friends, but in fact, it is all face-saving, and you can't say bluntly that we have been filming together for a few months, but we are not very familiar with each other.

Doesn't this make it clear to tell reporters that you have a grudge?

Hollywood is sometimes black and white, friend and foe, as if there is no such thing as a nodding friend in ordinary people.

Liv. Taylor shifted the conversation to Daniel's trip to Kenya.

"I see those children, it's really pitiful, they don't live well, they don't eat well."

Daniel answered a few words, he actually rarely spoke, as soon as he spoke, everyone stopped to listen to him, and then when he shut up, he would fall into a short stalemate, and wait until someone brought up the next topic before it became lively again, so he basically just responded and answered.

The press conference started on time.

More than 2,000 people were seated in the first row at the Ambassador Theatre.

Mayor Kelly gave a very enthusiastic speech, praising Fat Peter, and putting on hats like "Light of New Zealand" one after another.

After she finished speaking, the host began to invite the main creators to the stage.

When Peter went up, the applause was quite enthusiastic, and it was clear that the Wellington audience, as the main force, was quite fond of this pride in making New Zealand's name in Hollywood.

However, when Daniel took the stage, the big drama theater was almost overwhelmed by applause.

Since the "Elf Incident", his popularity in New Zealand, especially Wellington, has been very high, and with the release of films such as "Spy" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" in New Zealand, his popularity has rebounded after a slight decline, and is even higher than before. Some time ago, many of the main players in the Elven faction were actually New Zealanders, and as the birthplace of the "Lord of the Rings" movie, they attached great importance to each of the characters, including Legolas, the elven prince.

Daniel can't help it, although he doesn't want to be in the limelight, but this is not something he can control, so he has to be more humble.

But if you think about it later, I'm afraid it's not very useful.

After a series of arrangements, everyone was surprised to see a staff member holding a blue velvet box and handing it to Mayor Kelly.

Peter took the creators out with him, leaving Daniel alone.

"I would like to take this opportunity to make people happy today, and to thank Daniel. Mr Sandler's contribution to Wellington and New Zealand, and the image of the Elf Prince he created, have made countless people around the world understand and fall in love with New Zealand and Wellington. Of course, and to show our respect for Mr Daniel's outstanding contributions to the fight against war and refugee issues, the City of Wellington has decided to award Daniel . Mr. Sandler is the City of Wellington Honorary Citizen Medal, which I will present here today, in the presence of distinguished guests, to Mr. Daniel. ”

It dawned on everyone that in order to surprise them, this arrangement was not on the agenda.

As Daniel smiled and accepted the medal from Mayor Kelly, everyone stood up and applauded.

The photo of the two holding the medal also became one of the news stories of major media around the world the next day, and another article was added to Daniel's free encyclopedia. (To be continued.) )
