The subtitles are down and the song is on, Wallace? Lee leaned back in his seat, like everyone else in the theater, and couldn't help but clapped his palms, this is an undoubted masterpiece, and even in the eyes of he, a graduate of the California Institute of the Arts, "The Fellowship of the Ring" will surely be a classic, and it will leave a strong mark on film history.

is also a graduate of the California Institute of the Arts majoring in film and video, why can he make such a masterpiece, but he can only rise and fall in the independent film circle, and cannot see the way out of the future?

Since the seats are more rear, Wallace? Li didn't stand up immediately, but remembered something from the past.

What does he do with Duke? Rosenberg was a graduate of the same class of film and video majors, and although the two did not have a good relationship, they knew each other very well.

In the football team at the California Institute of the Arts, the opponent was a quarterback, and he was a well-coordinated running forward.

It's just that after graduation, the two chose two completely different paths.

The other party plunged headlong into the circle of commercial films, and it was a quick success.

With a vision for art films, he entered the independent film circle, wanting to hone his skills and embark on an artistic path.

However, the dream is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and newcomers do have more opportunities in the independent film industry, but this circle is far more chaotic than the mainstream commercial film industry, if it weren't for his strong self-control, I'm afraid he would be an addict now, and maybe even enter the reincarnation center.

Since last year, he has left the independent film industry and returned to the city of San Francisco, where he grew up, to reconsider his future path.

Maybe I should make some changes in time, like "The Fellowship of the Ring", which is obviously a commercial blockbuster, but who can deny its artistry?

Wallace? Li walked out of the theater at the end. Directly facing the exit of the hallway, he saw various products related to the Lord of the Rings hanging from the shelves, the Twilight Star Pendant, the One Ring Chain, the puppets of the main characters, and the Stinger Sword model. Trolls, dolls, and more......

He was rarely interested in peripheral products because of the excitement of the movie, but found that there were too many people in front of the sales area, and he couldn't squeeze in at all, so he had to walk out of the theater and prepare to go home.

As soon as he came to the road, he found that not far from the diagonal opposite, under the huge neon light, the nine-headed ring spirit prancing horse waved his sword and walked over unconsciously. It was a store selling movie merchandise, and through the thick glass walls, Wallace could see all sorts of Lord of the Rings-related products.

Entering the store, Wallace found that there were many people in the store, dozens of people, but the area of the self-selected store was large enough not to be particularly crowded.

He chose only two. The hardcover version of the Dusk Star Pendant and One Ring Chain cost a total of $199!

Although not working in the commercial film industry. Wallace? Li also knew that "The Fellowship of the Ring" was likely to make a lot of money on the periphery.

The voice from the cashier undoubtedly confirmed his point.

"A twilight star pendant, a One One Ring chain, a trolls doll. A Legolas figure, a model of a stinging needle sword, a total of $325, thank you! ”

"Here's a limited edition of Gandalf's wizarding hat, $366!"

"You have such a good eye. Miss, this is Queen Galadriel's saree, the raw material comes from the distant and ancient East, and it only costs 299 dollars! ”

Listen to this, Wallace? Lee took out a newspaper from his pocket and slowly opened it, it was a job posting published in the Los Angeles Times, Duke Studios was recruiting an experienced assistant director!

The departed Wallace? Lee didn't catch the attention of the clerks, and as more midnight audiences walked out of the nearby theaters, more and more people entered the store to buy their favorite merchandise.

"Manager ......"

A Latino clerk walked over and said to Zhou Xin, who was standing behind the cash register, "There are a few shelves that are going to be empty, we have to rearrange the goods!" ”

"So fast!"

Zhou Xin was a little surprised, turned his head and said to the person next to him, "Yang Ge, I can't chat with you, I'm going to get busy." ”

Yang Ge stood here, his eyes were a little straight, the scene in the store completely exceeded his imagination, those goods that were exquisitely made, extremely high in price, and average in actual cost were so popular, and these people who had just finished watching the film on the other side did not consider the actual value or even their own wallets when they bought them.

These people are simply more extravagant than him!

He even heard a few people who swiped their credit cards say that they would rather nibble on dry bread for two months than grit their teeth and buy their favorite charms, hats and dolls.

These people who are excited and crazy because of the movie can't be measured by normal business eyes at all!

He stood behind the cashier counter and found that the two open cashiers were not busy at all, and the cashier could only mechanically repeat the actions of scanning, swiping cards, collecting money and making change, while there were more and more people queuing up after shopping.

At this moment, the boss Ke Peng walked out of his office and stood behind the third cash register in person......

Nearly an hour later, the store saw off the last customer, and Yang Ge felt that he was about to collapse, and he was only panting for breath with his waist crossed.

It's really a crazy sales spike!

“BOSS。”

Waiting for the clerk to close the store door, Zhou Xin said loudly, "The sales statistics are out!" ”

The boss Ke Peng looked at the empty shelves with a smile on his face, even if the store manager didn't say it, he knew that this must be a dazzling number.

Sure enough, the numbers that Zhou Xin read out made everyone's tired spirits become invigorated.

"Since the end of the movie, a total of 932 people have entered the store to shop, and the sales have been $113,899!"

“What？” Yang Ge couldn't believe his ears.

Indeed, for a man of wealthy origin, this number is nothing, but this is only an hour's worth of sales in the wee hours of the morning!

The smile on Ke Peng's face was even stronger, and he said loudly, "All the people's salaries will be doubled tonight!" ”

Although I haven't seen the film, it is not difficult to conclude from tonight's hot sales that the movie is quite good, and tonight's hot sales are just the beginning.

The store was closed, and Yang Ge followed Ke Peng towards the parking place, his eyes frequently sweeping over the other party's face.

He was older than the other party, and then he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did your chain rise so fast?" Is there a secret? ”

"Absolutely!" Ke Peng didn't mean to hide it at all, and said directly, "The movie products that my store recommends every year are all related to Duke?" Rosenberg related products, Duke? Made by Rosenberger is the secret of my success! ”

His chain wants to expand and needs funds, "Yang Ge, are you interested in investing?" ”

As the night darkens, even bustling Los Angeles falls into silence, and in the luxury suite of the Hilton Beverly Hills, Ivanka? Mr. Trump pushed open the window, and the oncoming night breeze dissipated the dullness and brought a burst of refreshment.

Looking at the night view of Los Angeles condescendingly, Ivanka returned to the computer in the room and refreshed Duke's personal website, probably because the midnight show had ended, and more people expressed their feelings about watching the movie in the comment section.

"Duke is a Duke producer, and the shock brought by "The Fellowship of the Ring", as well as the magnificent sound effects, exquisite graphics, and invincible imagination, are all moving! In fact, you don't need to praise too much, as long as it's Duke? Rosenberg's zuò is certainly a great work! ”

Ivanka pouted, "Brainless powder!" ”

Although she said so, she felt that such a brain-dead fan was really cute.

"The film is not only magical but also magical, especially the psychological depiction of the epic conspiracy. The sacrifice of death has created an extraordinary journey, and many details have also laid the groundwork for the follow-up, and the soldiers of the expedition team are divided into two ways at the end of the expedition, giving people more expectations! It is also worth mentioning that the soundtrack is epic and magnificent! ”

"Director Duke? Rosenberg not only brings us a great story, but more importantly transports us into a magical world of Middle-earth, with all-encompassing vistas and shots through towering cities and castles, showing an unparalleled imagination! And Ian? McLean's rendition of Gandalf is amazing, Elijah? Wood's Frodo was the most unexpected surprise, and their clever and characterful performances once again proved Duke's eye for the cast to be clever! Without a doubt, this film is the first chapter of a unique, charismatic, and undeniably epic trilogy! I believe that the future will be even more exciting! Looking forward to "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King"! ”

"There are a lot of handsome men and beautiful women in it, and there are beautiful scenery, just looking at handsome guys and angels and scenery shots is enough to be worth the ticket price......"

"Alessandra? Ambrosio's look is so beautiful......"

After a few lines of eyes swept down, Ivanka simply closed the entire web page, stared at the computer for a while, looked at the time, and then dialed Tina? Filipino's number.

"You haven't slept so late, Evie?"

The other side of the phone is obviously still working, and Ivanka knows about Tina on the night of the release? Fei was very busy, and she didn't go around in circles, and directly asked the question she wanted to ask the most, "Is the box office statistics out at midnight?" ”

She listens to Tina? Fei mentioned that the North American Cinema Alliance has long updated the latest computer ticketing system, and although it will take a while to get accurate statistics, the approximate statistics will be available soon.

"Guess what!" Tina? Fei's mood is obviously excellent.

After all, Ivanka has been working by Duke's side for a long time, and she also has some understanding of some situations, so she hurriedly asked, "Is it a record?" ”

"Honey, that's right!"

Tina ringing in the earpiece? A figure reported by the Philippines, "The rough box office is $9.5 million, and the actual figure should be between $9 million and $9.5 million, and Duke broke the record again!" ”

"Did he sleep?" The corners of Ivanka's mouth unconsciously curled up beautifully, "Congratulations to him for me." (To be continued......)
