Chapter 444: More Than Just a Movie
"The Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet is over, and the war in Middle-earth is about to begin!"
As Gandalf continues the lines of the past and the future, the subtitles slowly fall, and "The Two Towers" comes to an end.
There was no accident, the applause instantly remembered, and converged into a thunderstorm, the thunder was endless, and finally turned into a raging wave, and thousands of audiences stood in the theater, all of them had no intention of leaving, just clapping their palms vigorously.
Brad? Miller has long since become a die-hard fan of the movie version, and all the thoughts of protest have been thrown out of the sky; Chrissy's eyes were wet, and he didn't seem to be out of the mood of the film......
But these people with different reactions all feel that they have experienced a strange journey, and if "The Fellowship of the Ring" brings fantasy, then "Twin Towers" is majestic!
"I'm going to correct a little!" Pete spoke in applause, "Duke's ability to create epic war scenes is definitely not the first rate in Hollywood, but the top!" β
Chrissy and Bled? Miller also nodded in agreement.
In the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the applause has lasted for the entire time of the subtitles, even if the subtitles are over, there is still no non-stop posture, Duke took the crew to take the curtain call again and again, but the audience responded with more enthusiastic applause, those reporters who have the permission to take pictures, quickly press the camera shutter, and faithfully record every moment.
"For the last ten minutes, everyone stood and watched!" "I've been to movie premieres at least 50 times, and I've never seen a scene like this!" β
"I think that's normal!" Downey said as a matter of course, "If you don't give a standing salute to a film like this, what kind of film do you give a standing salute?" β
The two looked at the director who led the crew on the stage at the same time, and the name of the king of the other party's summer file was definitely not blown out by the media, only the reaction of the audience. You know that "Twin Towers" will inevitably show a sweeping trend in the next few weeks!
"It's no wonder that other companies' big productions are hiding from "The Two Towers"."
Another reporter next to him leaned over and said, "Those film company executives are not stupid at all, what kind of film can compete with such an epic masterpiece?" β
"Do you think it's going to be the box office champion this year?" Downey asked.
The man thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. After all, there's Lucas's Star Wars. β
"I don't think 'Attack of the Clones' can compete against 'The Two Towers.'" Jarvis interjected, "The audience reputation of "The Two Towers" will definitely explode, and the Star Wars prequel ......"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.
If it weren't for the Star Wars name, "Phantom Menace" would probably hit the streets.
The applause finally subsided, and Duke led the crew to the press room, where a press conference was waiting for him.
Duke went to the press conference, Ivanka and Jane? Lauder left the Chinese Grand Theater first, got into the car and waited for Duke to come out.
"Evie. I see you're excited. "Jane? Lauder closed the car door, leaned next to Ivanka, and said, "Are you, a non-movie fan, also moved by the movie?" β
"Do you see the people in the theater?" Ivanka opened the Xiaoice box in the RV, took out two bottles of water, and handed one to Jane? Lauder, "How many people can stay calm?" β
She smiled, "I'm happy for Duke." He made another excellent film. β
With a big director as a boyfriend, it's impossible for Ivanka not to pay attention to Hollywood and the film industry. The audience response to the premiere was so enthusiastic, and she knew very well what that represented.
A large number of fans poured out of the theater, and Brad? Miller, after all, was a little older, and quickly regained his composure, but he walked along the way. What I saw and heard was almost all the fanatical reaction of the fans.
A boy of about fifteen years old walked out of the theater door and shouted, "For. Eorlingas! β
βFor.EorlingasοΌβ
A slightly immature response sounded around them.
If twenty years younger. He believed he would shout along with these people.
"Are you going home?"
From the side came Clich's question, "Don't you look at it again?" I was so excited that I overlooked a lot of details. β
"You go ahead." Brad? Miller looked at his watch, "I have an important video conference in the early hours of the morning and can't continue." But I booked my ticket for tomorrow and will probably come back again tomorrow night. β
His companion Pete stopped, choosing to be a rebel, "I'm sorry, Bligh, you're going to go back on your own, I'm going to see the midnight show with Chrissy." β
"It's okay."
Brad? Miller walked along the flow of people, and when he passed by the ticket office, he found that many people who had just walked out of the theater had joined the queue to buy tickets......
Hold back the ** in your heart that you want to brush again, Brad? Miller walked out of the theater, but before he reached the parking lot, he heard the familiar sound of footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, Pete and Chrissy strode after him.
"How did you guys get out?" Brad? There's something strange about Miller.
With a helpless expression, Chrissy walked over and said, "No way, I can't buy a ticket." β
Pete was a little depressed and said dissatisfiedly, "The theater opened two theaters for midnight, but there was no ticket!" β
"Then let's do it again tomorrow."
Santa Monica Mall is one of the commercial centers of the greater Los Angeles area, and while it is not as crowded as the San Francisco Bay area, it is also a densely populated area.
Sitting in the manager's room, Miranda? Kerr looked at the busy scene outside through the glass window, in a slight daze.
Miranda? Kerr only came to North America last month, to be exact, by that Edward? Yang seduced her, the other party has an extraordinary family background, and she is generous, claiming to be able to help her break into Hollywood or enter the modeling circle in North America, and when she came here, she did see that the other party had a certain network, and it seemed that she could talk to the Duke's studio.
Although she grew up in the modeling industry since she was a child, Miranda? Kerr also understands some basic market rules, such as this new store that has not undergone large-scale publicity, the popularity should be very average when it first opens, and even a little deserted, but the crowded scene in the store has broken her inherent cognition.
Half an hour ago, a large number of people from the nearby theater poured into the store like a wave, like locusts in transit, frantically harvesting every item on the shelves, those goods Miranda? Kerr listening to Edward? Yang mentioned that they are all peripheral products related to the Lord of the Rings movies!
Those buyers were completely irrational, as if these things didn't cost money, and she could see very clearly that several people even maxed out their credit cards.
Especially her with Edward? The expensive Lord of the Rings jewelry that Yang Cai brought from the Lord of the Rings Studio sold out quickly in just half an hour, and ten sets worth $3,999 were sold out, which was simply staggering!
Why is this the case?
As a model with a relatively monotonous life, Miranda? Keer doesn't quite understand the behavior of these people, those movie-related goods, not to mention the high price, the actual application value is basically zero......
Can a movie make so many people lose their minds? She was curious, what exactly does this movie have to be so exciting that it can make movie-related products become so popular?
The door to the manager's room was pushed open from the outside, Edward? Yang walked in and sat directly on the sofa panting, as if he was already tired and about to collapse.
Is this Miranda? What does Kerr admire more about him, this Edward? Although Yang has the common problem of most rich children, he is a hard-working and motivated person.
Edward meets Miranda? Kerr looked out curiously and said, "Don't be surprised, every time a new Duke movie is released, our store will usher in a sales peak." β
"Peak sales?" Miranda? Kerr turned her head and looked at Edward? Yang, asked, "Can you know how many goods have been sold?" β
Without waiting for the other party to answer, she said, "If it's inconvenient, forget it." β
"It's okay." Edward? Yang recalled for a moment and said, "When I came in, the sales were already over $130,000!" β
Miranda? Kerr's eyes immediately widened, "It's just a movie-related product, which sold for $130,000 in less than forty minutes?" β
"Bingo!"
Edward? Yang snapped his fingers, "Some hot items are about to sell out." β
"What kind of movie exactly, Edward," Miranda? Kerr's curiosity is even greater, "Can you make people so crazy?" β
"Duke? Rosenberg's film! "Edward? Yang Yanzhi said conclusively, "His movies will make many people crazy!" β
Miranda? Kerr suddenly wanted to see this movie, she had never wanted to see a movie so strongly.
She's not the only one who wants to see this film, Norman? Shearer missed the film's advance and midnight screenings because of the company's forced overtime, and when he returned home from work, he immediately turned on his computer and went to Duke's personal website to see the film's reaction.
"It's very well connected to the first part, the whole film is very fast-paced, and the editing is great, and it feels like it's all in one go. The excellent visuals and soundtrack show the majestic atmosphere of the epic, and such a long film can't be felt at all, and it feels like it's just beginning and ending. β
"Beautiful and picturesque scenery, grand war scenes, delicate character emotions, strong indomitable spirit, this is definitely the best gift Duke has for all fans!"
"The epic scene makes people's blood boil, except for tears or tears!"
"Arwen and Legolas continue to be earth-shatteringly beautiful, and Duke really makes another world, not just a movie!"
"'The Two Towers' is the best movie for me, completely surpassing 'The Fellowship of the Ring', especially the epic war scenes in the second half are so exciting."
Seeing the praise that almost swept the message board, Norman? Shearer has decided to go see the film early tomorrow morning! (To be continued......)
