Chapter 449: A Magical Journey of Reality

"This is the time for us to draw our swords together, to fight side by side, and in the name of anger and ruin, let us stain the dawn with blood!"

β€œForth.Eorlingas!”

In the midst of the rousing soundtrack, seeing the team of knights rushing into the enemy line with all their might, Tony? Rogers' whole body trembled with excitement, this is called war! That's epic! That's the great movie! This is the highest viewing enjoyment!

Even if the movie is over, Tony? Rogers sat there quietly, not wanting to leave at all, still reminiscing about the climax of the movie, until there were few people left in the theater, and then he got up and walked out.

In addition to the excitement on his face, there was also obvious exhaustion, because this was the second time he had watched it!

"Hello, we're reporters from CNN......"

As soon as he walked out of the theater, Tony was stopped by a man with a microphone, and a shoulder-mounted camera was also pointed at the side, and the man, who was obviously a reporter, asked, "Can you tell us about your feelings about The Two Towers?" ”

That's what you hear the other person asking, Tony? Rogers immediately perked up and spoke into the microphone, "The great epic masterpiece, the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet is the most inspiring, and the majestic is difficult to surpass...... No, I think next year's Return of the King will be even better, but that doesn't stop the status of The Two Towers in my heart! ”

"If you score 10 out of 10, how would you rate this film?"

Tony? Rogers said without hesitation, "Ten points! It must be ten! ”

After the interview, Tony walked out of the Santa Clara theater, looked up and saw the bright street lights, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "The Two Towers" is over, and it will take a whole year to see "The Return of the King".

What a long year it has been!

Right in front of the theater. He saw that NBC and Yahoo Entertainment were also interviewing, and almost all of them were praise.

"The opening scene was very shocking, and it continued until the end of the film, perfect! I'm a little worried about Duke, how can "The Return of the King" surpass it. ”

"It's enough to have the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helm. The shock of the big scenes, the delicacy of the details, and the kind of - I can't say anything else, I can't ...... words in the face of the magnificent, magnificent, grandiose romanticism of the film."

"The duel between Gandalf and the Fire Demon at the beginning is too shocking, and the battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet at the end is even more exciting!"

"I'm so tired but so excited to see it, this will definitely be a memory that I will always remember!"

What you hear, what you see, makes Tony? Rogers felt comfortable. There are a large number of like-minded people in this world, who will watch "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" repeatedly to welcome the release of "The King"!

The propaganda suppression on the Internet continues, and other media outlets have not relaxed, with radio, television and even web portals all reporting overwhelmingly.

On-the-spot interviews with ordinary viewers are a very untechnical propaganda strategy, but they are also an effective means. Combined with other methods, as well as the negative comments on the Internet that are getting quieter. "The Twin Towers" finally ushered in the moment of outbreak on Saturday.

Early on Sunday morning, the Los Angeles Times ran a front-page headline in its entertainment section.

"A new one-day box office record of $36.24 million!"

This is the box office of "The Two Towers" on Saturday, which increases the original record of $33.35 million held by "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by more than $3 million. As many people know, Duke's "Fellowship of the Ring" set a single-day box office record in North America. It was broken by Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone last year, and now he has once again bagged the record. ”

"Duke? Rosenberg set a zΓ o record, and Duke? Rosenberg broke the record, which has become a common occurrence in the North American film market, and it is believed that this will not be the end of the record for "The Two Towers". There will be a series of records to be broken by this magical epic in the future. ”

Put down the newspaper in your hand, Ilya? Wood looked through the window of the lounge and looked at the almost crowded crowd at Nokia Plaza, and swallowed hard, although he had been enjoying the popularity of popular movie stars since "The Fellowship of the Ring", it was still a little smacked to see so many avid Lord of the Rings fans.

"Who of you would have thought that we would be like this?" He turned to the others in the break room.

"Tolkien created a great magical world, and Duke turned the magical world into an incredible movie......"

Sean as Sam? Austin is a relatively silent person, and he also has a lot of emotions at this time, "But don't you think that we have lived in magic in the past two years?" Can anyone tell me if the qiΔ“ we experienced is real? Or am I asleep in a dream and still not awake? ”

"Do you have such a beautiful dream?"

The person who spoke was Orlando? Bloom, who has become popular throughout the Western world, is not an exaggeration to say that he has completed the transformation from an ordinary young actor to a rich and handsome, "Can dreams be as beautiful as they are now?" Sean, I can responsibly tell you that you are at the most wonderful stage of your life. ”

"When Duke asked me to play Gandalf, I was still a little hesitant, and I doubted that he could handle this magical masterpiece...... "Ian? McLean sat in a high-backed chair, put down the water he had just drunk, and said, "You all know that Duke's previous filming style was always explosive and explosive, but it turns out that I was wrong, he has already made two great masterpieces, and I believe that the third part will be even more exciting." ”

After speaking, he stood up and said in a loud voice, "I am very honored to be able to participate in the filming of this series. ”

"I'm also honored that Duke and the Lord of the Rings trilogy have brought me everything!" Elias? Wood also stood up and said.

Billy? Boyd replied unhurriedly, "I will be remembered by film history!" Guys, I'll sing the final theme song! ”

The door to the lounge was pushed open from the outside, Duke and Charles? Rowan walked in, and they looked at the excited guys standing in the room, not understanding what was going on.

"It's almost time." Duke beckoned to the Fellowship Expedition, "It's time for us to get out." ”

"Let's go, guys!" Billy? Boyd, the activist, shouted, "Our magical journey is about to begin again." ”

Through the special passage of guΓ², the crew walked onto the stage in front of the AMG theater in Nokia Plaza, and Duke naturally fell behind, now is the moment for the actors to be in the limelight, and he, the director, will not take the initiative to stand on the front stage unless necessary.

"Legolas! Legolas ......"

"Aragorn! Aragonese ......"

"Frodo ......"

"Gandalf ......"

The whole Nokia Plaza seemed to tremble as the shouts rang out like thunder, and some fans standing in the back row even picked up large military binoculars in order to see their idols with their own eyes.

A series of interactive programs were also arranged at the scene, but Duke except for showing his face and waving, the rest of the time he talked to Charles? Rowan hid behind the stage.

At this time, the selection effect of the actor is far better than that of the director.

"Hi, Duke."

"Hi, Sarah."

The person who came to greet her was the deputy editor of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, and the two sides have always had a good time working together, and she is also one of the few journalists who can get into the background.

Now that she met Duke, of course Sarah won't let it go, "Can I ask you a few questions?" ”

"I hope it's simpler." Duke held up another finger, "It's not about private life." ”

"What do you think the box office will be in the first week?"

Sarah habitually took out her pen and notebook, Duke smiled, but did not answer directly, "Honey, you'll know tomorrow." ”

After thinking for a moment, Sarah didn't ask, but changed to something else, "Duke, do you know that New Zealand's Minister of Tourism has just announced a number?" ”

"What count?" Duke has been busy in recent days.

"New Zealand tourism." Sarah didn't mean to sell it, and said directly, "According to the statistics released by the New Zealand government, from the release of "The Fellowship of the Ring" to the present, the number of foreigners traveling to New Zealand has increased by 180% year-on-year! ”

She asked, "Do you think it has anything to do with the Lord of the Rings movies?" ”

Duke still didn't answer directly, "The number is more convincing than my words." ”

Sarah nodded, and then asked, "Now that many people are circulating, when the Lord of the Rings trilogy ends, the academy will give you the greatest recognition, do you think?" ”

"Rumors are always rumors." Duke shook his head, "Who knows what will happen until the end?" ”

Closing the notebook and putting away the pen, Sarah laughed, "The last question, I want to ask personally, is "The Return of the King" completed?" Is the release date confirmed? I really can't wait. ”

"You'll be able to see it next summer."

The event continued into the evening, and there was a media reception in the evening, and Duke handed over the job of hosting the banquet to Charles? Rowan, and then broke away from the crew.

Work is very important, but Duke also understands that a relationship needs to be cared for.

In his relationship with Ivanka, the other party is undoubtedly the one who pays more, there is no love in this world that only gives without asking for anything in return, Duke also needs to show that he values his girlfriend, he pushed off the crew's promotional activities, just to go to Los Angeles International Airport to send Ivanka back to New York.

Of course, Ivanka doesn't have to take a flight, and Duke's private business jet is already on standby at the airport.

"Honey, you can't just think about work."

On the airport's private tarmac, Ivanka stood in front of the spiral staircase and told Duke, "You must eat and rest regularly, I will call you every day to remind you, if you don't want me to worry, please do what I say." ”

"Don't worry," Duke said, gesturing to his head, "it's all here." ”

The two kissed lightly on each other's cheeks, and Ivanka got on the plane, seemed to think of something, and turned around and asked, "The box office came out in the first week, remember to sue me!" (To be continued......)
