"One shot?"

After the banquet, hear Tina? Faye's words, Duke shook his head, "Don't worry about him." ”

Then, Duke turned to Emma, the butler, and said, "In the future, if there are such people, let them be driven out directly." ”

"Let's go back and rest."

Dukra walked Ivanka out of the banquet hall and towards the living room, both of them inevitably a little tired after a night of socializing.

After pouring two glasses of water, Ivanka sat next to Duke, leaned on him, and asked curiously, "What is a shot in the end?" ”

"One shot to the end, that is, the lens is not cut." Duke explained a few words simply, "The real one-shot movie, the shooting can't be done at all, as long as one person makes a mistake, all have to start all over again, and it is very difficult to shoot, and Hollywood usually refers to a movie composed of ultra-long shots." ”

There are very few movies that don't change shots and don't edit, and none of them can be well-known.

One shot is indeed a technique praised by professionals, but Duke is not interested in it, not to mention the difficulty, just without editing, the film is destined to be a slow-paced literary film.

He never thought of investing in or making literary films.

After the banquet, since the post-production of "Return of the King" has been completed and is still far from being released, Duke can briefly end his busy work and accompany Ivanka on vacation, and he plans to start in Hawaii and go on a round-the-world trip from east to west, circling the world's famous big cities next to each other until Christmas before returning to North America.

Of course, there is no need to go to countries like New Zealand and Australia, which have been there for a long time.

Duke and Ivanka leave North America. In November, the film's soundtrack was officially released, and the Lord of the Rings concert kicked off again, both of which were more popular than when they were on The Fellowship of the Ring.

The situation is very obvious, with the release of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Twin Towers". And one is more exciting, and the audience's expectations for "The Return of the King" have been raised to a very high level.

"That's a good thing, David."

As the new awards season approaches, film critics from all over the world are starting to focus on Los Angeles. The person Albert spoke to was David, the chief film critic of The New Yorker? "The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment will be when the film falls short of expectations." ”

David? Denby picked up his coffee cup. He took a sip and reminded him, "Don't forget, he's Duke?" Rosenberg, as much as I dislike him, admits that his films are vulgar and fit the appetite of vulgar audiences. ”

"Why were the first two books of the Lord of the Rings so successful?" Roger? Albert asked, and then gave the answer, "The most important of them." It is undoubtedly realistic special effects and magnificent scenes. ”

See David? Denby nodded, Roger? Albert said again. ""The Two Towers has almost done the special effects and big scenes to the extreme, if in "The Return of the King", Duke? Rosenberg can't surpass himself, or even just maintain the level of "The Two Towers", which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the audience, then our chance has come! ”

David? Denby pondered for a few seconds. "Don't forget, Roger, our influence in the summer is very small. ”

"That's true." Roger? Albert laughed, "Still. There must be a lot of people in Hollywood who want to see him and Warner's bad luck, and other companies really want to see Duke? Rosenberg won the three consecutive championships of the year, and even made "The Return of the King" the next "Titanic"? ”

"As long as there is a problem with the film, it is almost inevitable that attacks from other companies will come in waves!"

Roger? Albert seemed to have regained the glory of the eighties, and said in high spirits, "And we, mainly sniping him during the awards season, as long as the group of professional film critics still exists, we can't let him win the best director!" ”

Like Roger? Albert said the same, all major Hollywood companies know that now a super box office bomb is brewing, just waiting for next summer file to detonate, from the analysis of the two bombs that have appeared, the power of the bomb next year is bound to be very amazing, and reasonable people will try to avoid the bomb.

"Is Warner's release schedule out?"

In Universal's office, Ron? Meyer was a little angry, and said to the person in charge of the distribution department opposite, "I don't care what method you use, try your best to get the exact release time of "The Return of the King"!" ”

"Our people are already trying." The director was also quite helpless, "In terms of release time, Warner Bros. wants to talk to Duke? Rosenberg negotiated, but Duke and his girlfriend had gone on a globetrotting and would not be able to return to North America until the end of December at the earliest. ”

"Globetrotting?" Ron? Meyer seemed to be going crazy, "To Nancy? Josephson called, I don't care what you do, I have to find out when Duke wants the film to be released within a week! ”

The director walked out of the office rather helplessly, Ron? Meyer took the glass of water and took a long sip of water before he felt that the anger in his heart was gradually subsiding.

No wonder he is in such a hurry, next year's summer file, Universal Pictures has "Van Helsing", "The Impostor" and "Fast and Furious 2" three high-investment films released, in order to reduce its own impact, these three films are bound to be dispersed to May, June and July.

However, according to the habits of previous years, "The Return of the King" must be in May, and his plan is to throw "Fast and Furious 2" to May, after all, this is a niche type film with a relatively small investment, as long as it is separated by one or two weekends from "The Return of the King", it will not be particularly impacted.

Although the 2002 Thanksgiving Christmas season has not yet begun, many companies are already preparing for the summer season of 2003, and Walt Disney is also one of them. Dick, also faced with Ron? Meyer's similar conundrum.

Disney will also have a big production next summer, and they are all super masterpieces that cost more than $100 million, and there is no room for mistakes.

In the last two years, fantasy epics led by "The Lord of the Rings" have quietly emerged, and major companies have followed the genre, such as Universal Pictures' "Van Helsing", and Walt Disney's follow-up "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Cook? Dick is not very optimistic about "Pirates of the Caribbean" in his heart, but Disney has invested a lot of money, even if it is not optimistic, it cannot let it hit "The Return of the King" head-on, a film that follows the trend to hit the object of its follower, and the result can be imagined.

Another film is slightly better, Pixar Studio's "Looking for Nemo" and "The Return of the King" have a huge difference in audience, and the impact will be smaller, and according to the habits of North American screening and movie-watching, animated films in the summer file are generally released in mid-to-late May and mid-to-early June, "Looking for Nemo" must be placed in these two time periods, and how to choose depends on whether "The Return of the King" will be released in early May or at the end of May.

The phone rang suddenly, Cook? Dick interrupted his thoughts and picked up the phone.

"Cook!"

Steve's ringing in the earpiece? Jobs' voice, "I inform you, 'Looking for Nemo' will be completed on time!" At the same time, remind you that when you leave Duke? The farther away the work of that madman from Rosenberg, the better! I don't want Pixar's work to collide with that madman in the summer! ”

"Steve, that's what I thought too." Cook? Dick said helplessly, "The problem is that we don't know the specific release time of "The Return of the King" right now. ”

"Let me remind you of one thing, Duke is a shareholder of Marvel."

Hear Steve? Jobs' words, Cook? Dick's eyes lit up immediately, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed a number, and then learned that Twentieth Century Fox had adjusted the schedule of "X-Men 2" to early June, and his heart immediately understood.

"The Return of the King" should be the same as "The Two Towers", which was released in early May.

Cook? Dick couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and shook his head again at the thought of the recent undercurrents in Hollywood.

A film has not yet been released, and just the schedule can make the whole of Hollywood turbulent, except for Duke? Rosenberg, who else can do it?

He was sure that although countless people were looking forward to Duke? Rosenberg was unlucky, but no one dared to let his family's film collide head-on with "The Return of the King".

Duke picking up Nancy in Dubai? After Josephson's phone call, with Doug? Walter communicated briefly, and "The Return of the King" was officially confirmed to be released at the beginning of next year's summer file, and then announced the news on instant sharing for the first time.

"How do you need me to thank you?"

In the presidential suite of the Burj Al Arab, Ivanka was lying on a soft thick blanket, looking at the laptop screen, and the information released by Duke had more than 50,000 views in just half an hour, and she couldn't help but turn her head and raise an eyebrow at him.

Duke lay on his back, like Ivanka, without any clothes, and his eyes that were looking at the ceiling turned to Ivanka's snow-white buttocks, and then little by little they moved up, and finally landed on the pair of full red lips.

As if noticing Duke's eyes, Ivanka suddenly stretched out her pink tongue and slowly licked it on her lips......

"Are you seducing me......," Duke muttered, moving over to her and turning into the red lips, "can you do it again, dear?" ”

Ivanka leaned over and pecked him lightly on the lips, and the kisses rained down his chin, neck, and chest, and finally the long blonde hair covered Duke's entire lower abdomen. (To be continued......)
