After the new box office briefing came out, Duke was the first to leave England, David and Pani? Kelis has stayed here for the time being, continuing the scandal with Manchester United, and they will try to drag out the negotiations as long as possible with the assistance of Warner UK, in order to attract more attention.

For Manchester United, Duke is not very interested, if the other party is really willing to sell about 300 million pounds, he does not mind the next, after all, the future Premier League is the golden era, and it will be sold to the local tycoons in the Arab world in the future, and it is also a profitable deal.

However, such a price may not impress the shareholders of Manchester United, and as the news continues to be hyped, the Glazer family, also from North America, has joined the game.

Doing so will inevitably cause displeasure among some die-hard Manchester United fans in England, but there are not many United fans in England, and who cares about where the owner of the buying club comes from?

Compared to the ripple effects it can have on fans and media around the world, the discontent of England's diehards is nothing but the discontent.

At the same time, with Pixar's blockbuster "Looking for Nemo" set to face in the new weekend, the Lord of the Rings has stepped up its promotional efforts in North America, even though there is a huge difference in audiences between the two sides, so that the film's North American box office can surpass the $500 million mark as soon as possible.

"The Return of the King" once again made the front headlines of "The Premiere", and at the end of the trilogy, the news coverage was entirely themed about memories and nostalgia, inspiring audiences to enter the theater again.

"Do you remember how you first felt when you first encountered the movie "Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring" three years ago? Do you feel like you've been transported into a magical world? With the Fellowship of the Ring, it seems like you're on a long but tumultuous adventure? ”

"Whether it's the bright and serene green fields of the Shire, the mournful and unsad fluttering leaves of Rivendell, or the simple and elegant white towers of Minastiris, the beauty of the Lord of the Rings trilogy series. That kind of anxiety about the world, the firmness of light over evil, and the persistence of the bitter love of life and life are all so tempting! ”

"A series of movies has picked up a famous novel, created a fan base, and left an immortal legend in the film industry - the entire filming process of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The details, those exquisite pictures and scenes, can make fans enjoy and comment again and again, and walk into the theater again and again without regrets, looking forward to more fresh content - three years later, the "Lord of the Rings" series seems to have never ended, just like the Fellowship of the Ring in the book, although disbanded, it will always be like a brave team, and will never disappear from our lives!

"The Lord of the Rings trilogy has brought us much more than just the audio-visual pleasure provided by the high level of technology. It's worth revisiting again and again. ”

"Dream back to Middle-earth, the legend lives on!"

Not only professional media such as "Premiere", but also "Time" published this week, also chose Duke as the cover character!

The cover features a photo of Duke sitting in front of the pit at the bottom of the bag as the background, with a particularly eye-catching title - Seven Years of Middle-earth Dreams!

"Duke? Rosenberg shared with the audience his journey of dreaming in Middle-earth in the past seven years! ”

Sitting on the terrace facing the sea side of the villa, Ivanka opened Time magazine in her hand and looked at Duke with dissatisfaction, and Duke quickly withdrew his gaze from the sea. A big smile at Ivanka, "Honey." Go on, I'll listen. ”

All the comments praising Duke were the most beautiful enjoyment for Ivanka, who read in a low voice, but with a hint of pride.

"From the moment of preparing the Lord of the Rings trilogy, to the final chapter of The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King. Duke? Rosenberg and his team embarked on an incredibly long journey of seven years to bring Professor Tolkien's magnificent magical world of Middle-earth to life in three films. ”

"Duke's always the work he loves and the fantasies that come to his mind? Rosenberg's dream, and the dream of Middle-earth, created by seven years of time, also has unknown entanglements and ups and downs behind its glorious glory. It's hard to believe. Whenever Duke? When Rosenberg takes on a new film project, Hollywood's top director suffers from severe anxiety. ”

"I've had the same nightmare every night since the first day of filming – when Duke was interviewed in Los Angeles in early January, he started pouring out bitterness. I dreamed that I was lying in bed. The film crew gathered around the bed, waiting for me to tell them what to do. But I didn't quite know what I was going to do with the film. I wasn't sure, I didn't think the plan was ready, but they were all standing there waiting for my command. I'm so tired, exhausted, and hard to think. ’”

"I kid you not, I have nightmares every night, from the first day of filming until the day the camera is closed. Then the nightmare disappeared. It was purgatory, but it was gone anyway - and while the Lord of the Rings trilogy was ultimately a success and a huge success, Duke? Rosenberg also endured countless sleepless nights. ”

"Now Duke can finally breathe a sigh of relief - every movie is made with responsibility, because you spend a lot of money, it's not going to be easy, you have to carry the pressure and take responsibility for it."

Reading this, Ivanka suddenly put down the magazine, leaned over and kissed Duke lightly on the face, and said distressedly, "Dear ......"

"It's all over, Evie." Duke grabbed her hand and kissed her, "I'm a little pressured, but it's not as exaggerated as above, it's just for the sake of publicity." ”

But Ivanka, who had been Duke's assistant at the time, knew that the pressure he was under was actually greater than the magazine depicted.

However, Duke obviously didn't want to mention it again, and she didn't continue to explore, but followed Duke's words and asked, "For publicity?" ”

"The box office of the film will not be too much of a problem." Duke stood up and walked to the fence at the edge of the patio, his hands propped on it, looking out over the endless Pacific Ocean, "This is preparing for next year." ”

Ivanka understood what Duke was talking about and walked over to stand here with him, "It's going to start so early?" ”

"We're already late," Duke turned his head and looked at Ivanka, "know about Sophia's new film?" ”

"The one that worked with Scarlett?"

Hearing the name, Ivanka frowned slightly, then let go again, "I remember it seems to be called 'Lost in Translation'?" ”

"Well, it's Lost in Translation." Duke said a few words, "Since the beginning of the year, Sophia has participated in various film festivals with "Lost in Translation", accumulating professional reputation, aiming at next year's Oscars. ”

Strictly speaking, the award plan of "The Return of the King" has fallen behind a lot, and it is not difficult to find that most of the award-winning films in Hollywood in recent years will take about a year to compete for the awards, from North America to Europe's major art film festivals, they will not be absent, and strive to cheer for the film, win a professional praise, and a large amount of publicity and public relations funds will be thrown out.

By the time the North American awards season arrived, many award-winning films had already spent millions of dollars on publicity and public relations, often at various film festivals.

Of course, after the Weinstein brothers joined the game of fame and fortune, a million dollars was not even a starting level for the Oscars.

The Oscars are actually the same as the film industry, if you don't have enough investment, you don't want to have a satisfactory return.

Footsteps rang out at the door of the terrace, and Duke turned his head to see that Emma, the butler, was taking Nancy? Josephson walked in.

"Sit, Nancy."

Ivanka warmly beckoned her to sit down, and Emma had a cup of coffee brought to her.

"How's it going?" She was called by Duke.

"I was at an event last week and met Frank? Pearson. Nancy added sugar to her coffee as she said, "Although he didn't say anything explicitly, the meaning of what he revealed was clear." ”

Duke nodded slightly, those old men of the academy, even if they have a tendency in their hearts, they will not easily show their attitude to the outside world.

"The Royal Albert Company in the UK has fulfilled our order," Nancy continued, "and all of our custom-made Lord of the Rings porcelain will be shipped to Los Angeles by November." Apple has also accepted the order and will make a batch of players for us, and the cost announced by the other party will be controlled within $100. The latest version of Sony Electronics' DVD player has also been completed, and it is estimated that it will be delivered to you next week. ”

"Where's the deluxe DVD set we stamped?" Duke asked.

Nancy thought for a moment and said, "By the end of July at the latest, 100,000 commemorative DVD sets will be in place." ”

"Well done, Nancy." Duke still recognizes her work.

"It's my job." Nancy couldn't help but laugh, "I'm also very happy that my client can produce an Oscar for Best Director." ”

"What about Warner?" He asked again.

"Warner has your full back." Nancy? Josephson gestured to make a phone call, "Doug? Walter said that Warner Bros. will fully cooperate with us, and if you need anything, you can just hang up the phone. ”

The Weinstein brothers are good at the Olympics, but other companies are not bad, but the business policies of each company have created differences in the Oscars, and the main business of Milan Max is to revolve around the awards season and the Oscars, and the company's different business routes have determined their different attitudes towards the awards.

The six major companies do not have an Oscar, and they still live very well, and the Weinstein brothers' film lacks the Oscar, not to mention that it will definitely hit the street, and it will also reduce a lot of revenue.

Therefore, the six major companies often treat the Oscars superficially, and the Weinstein brothers have almost pressed the company's net worth on it, and it is natural that they have become a big winner of the Oscars in recent years. (To be continued......)
