"Congratulations, Duke."

In the CAA office in Century City, Eno? As soon as Martin got to work on Saturday, he dialed Duke's number, "I really don't know what to say except congratulations, "The Return of the King" ...... Well, let's play golf together when we have time, goodbye. ”

Put down the phone, Ino? Martin looked across the side, was one of his ace clients, Leonardo? DiCaprio.

"I guess Duke doesn't feel it anymore." Leonardo is obviously fatter than before, "It's ridiculous that some idiots can't tell the difference between shapes and shì, and they even want to snipe "The Return of the King"! ”

Although the words were very vague, Leonardo faintly had a little warning, he knew a little, although his agent didn't really make a move some time ago, but whether he fanned the flames, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

Ino? Martin laughed, facing Leonardo? DiCaprio, a super A-level being, let alone him now, even Michael at the most brilliant? Ovitz also doesn't have much capital to fight.

Yes, he can not care about Leonardo, but the other party can fire him as long as he is willing, as for liquidated damages, I believe that there are countless brokerage companies in Hollywood that are willing to pay liquidated damages for him, and even if he wants to do something, without the cooperation of large media companies, it will not be able to damage Leonardo too much.

Is CAA indeed the largest entertainment agency in the United States, Ino? Martin will not be stupid enough to be arrogant, even if CAA is doing everything, Hollywood studios really won't cooperate with such a superstar?

What's more, the other party is CAA's signboard, and it is a powerful tool for CAA to implement packaging services.

With Leonardo's involvement, it was only natural for CAA to use its own staff in a project.

As for whether Leonardo's words just now hurt his face, Ino? Martin never thought about it, from the day he became an entertainment agent. He threw this kind of thing into the Pacific Ocean.

Besides, does he know Michael? Ovitz is also in contact with Leonardo and wants to pull him into Martin? Scorsese's new project to go.

"Alright, Ino, let's stop here today." Leonardo stood up, "I made an appointment with Duke to play together. ”

Looking at Leonardo? DiCaprio leaves. Ino? Martin sighed, he just secretly pushed it some time ago, but he didn't expect Leonardo to react so violently, as if he was talking to Duke? Rosenberg really has a good relationship?

Ever since Martin? After Bob stepped down, the relationship between him and Duke quickly faded, and the two sides came together because of their common enemies, the enemies disappeared, and the so-called common front no longer existed, and the director and his current rival Pat? Instead, Kinsley came closer.

The market share of Hollywood films is growing although. But the growth rate is not fast, the entire market share is so large, Duke? It is impossible for Rosenberg to cooperate with his CAA, and the two sides are destined to have a certain competitive relationship, and at the right time, push from behind to strike at the invisible competitor, Ino? Martin wouldn't mind.

I just saw yesterday's box office statistics that I got my hands on today. Ino? Martin couldn't help but smile wryly, Duke? Rosenberg is powerful. Sure enough, it can't be shaken by these small means.

In just one day on Friday, he got $40.35 million, which is a shame for all those who have thought about it.

Seen this number again, Ino? Martin gradually made up his mind that he would never be like Martin in the future? Bob and Michael? Ovitz's two idiots are the same. With Duke? Rosenberg was the enemy head-on.

"Leo, are you really going to change your image?"

Putting away the club, Duke went back and sat down under the parasol, Leonardo next to him spinning the cup in his hand. Raising his head, he replied, "I'm not like you, I can push the academy to a dead end, and if I want to win the award, I have to take more practical actions." “

He suddenly mentioned another person, "I saw Sally some time ago, and she almost changed her appearance. ”

"Oh, what has become?" Duke asked curiously.

Leonardo gestured a few times, "shaved off his eyebrows, and the whole person is fat ......"

Since coming to this golf club, Duke found out in Leonardo's words that he has a tendency to change to a prize maniac, and also persuaded a few words, but Leonardo has long reached the limit in business, and it is almost impossible to surpass, Oscar has naturally become his biggest pursuit, and Duke's words have no effect at all.

This is related to the career and future of others, Duke can't do more, and speaking of which, Leonardo's status in Hollywood is not lower than his, although the two are friends, it is impossible for the other party to act under his command.

Duke knew very well that he did not have an aura of retardation, and after a few words of persuasion, he saw that Leonardo insisted on his opinion, so he gave up.

Leonardo also deliberately changed the subject, just talking about Duke's "The Return of the King".

"Even Cameron didn't do it like you." Leonardo looked at Duke with a playful smile on his face, as if he had encountered something particularly interesting, "Duke, you have forced the academy to make a choice. ”

Duke shrugged, "I didn't push them. ”

"But they have to make a choice." Leonardo was full of interest, "If they want to maintain the tradition they have always adhered to, continue to ignore you and "The Return of the King", and do not award important awards to non-realistic films, it will not only be criticized by public opinion, protested and boycotted by countless fans, but also will affect the fair ...... they advertise."

Duke just laughed, but didn't say anything.

Leonardo continued, "It would be more interesting if the heavyweight statuette was awarded to you and 'The Return of the King', this is a non-realistic film, and the Oscars have never been like this. ”

"You seem like you'd love to see them embarrassed?" Duke tilted his head to look at him.

"Of course." Leonardo rightly said, "I want to win the Oscar because I don't have any other pursuits in business, but that doesn't mean I like those people, I want to see how embarrassed they are." ”

"I'm building yì, Leo." Duke stood up, "When you get the Best Actor Golden Man, throw it directly into the garbage heap at home, so that the expressions of those old men will be more exciting." ”

Leonardo's eyes immediately lit up, "It's a good idea. ”

Although Duke was busy and played a round of golf with Leonardo, the promotion of "The Two Towers" has not relaxed, the rapid rise of the Internet in this era, and the power of traditional media cannot be ignored, especially the media that some movie lovers pay attention to, which is also an important position for film promotion.

Film critics are singing about "The Return of the King", but in the face of huge publicity expenses and huge media hype, their voices are pitiful.

Especially in professional film print media such as "The Hollywood Reporter", almost all the important positions on the front page headlines are related to "The Return of the King".

"The Lord of the Rings is actually a natural super-long magical epic, and after watching the premiere of "The Return of the King", my hanging heart can finally be put down - Duke? Rosenberg lived up to everyone's expectations, he gave the third part of the series more exciting scenes, and the overall style still maintained a high degree of coherence with "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers", which makes the film trilogy finally a natural miracle work, and no one can deny that it is a perfect recreation of the original book! ”

"The success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is inseparable from the breadth and profundity of the original book, and the crystallization of Tolkien's life's wisdom, which ensures the excitement of each film; But the success of the movie is more due to director Duke? Rosenberg's unique talent. ”

"Maybe the young director doesn't have Quentin? Tarantino's kind of ghost talent doesn't have Steven? Spielberg's humanistic thinking ability, but he has amazing creativity and integration ability, and his comprehensive ability is even better! ”

"In fact, the more famous the original work, the more difficult it is to adapt, especially a work as broad and profound as "The Lord of the Rings", adaptation is almost an impossible task; But Duke? Rosenberg did it almost perfectly, and I don't believe anyone else can do it better than him, and I believe that no other director dares to do it better than Duke.

With this alone, if he doesn't win the Oscar for Best Director this time, it will be a loss for the Oscars. There are a lot of directors in the world who can make applauded 'art films', but Duke can make the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy into a stunning, if not unique, dream classic. ”

"In this sense, Duke, who has a strong and unyielding personality like Aragon? Rosenberg, like King Eliza in the film, should be affirmed and paid tribute to by everyone. ”

"Finally, I would like to say that the three years of anticipation have not been in vain, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is as majestic as its name, handing over a perfect answer, and we are sincerely hungry and feel lucky and happy to witness Duke and his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy create a zào miracle!"

The media guides public opinion, public opinion drives the audience, the audience watches the movie, the movie inspires high feelings, and the feelings will spread among the crowd, and eventually become a bursting word-of-mouth, and word-of-mouth spreads everywhere, driving more people into the theater, thus forming a virtuous circle.

On Saturday, the biggest movie climax in North America since 2003 was ushered in, with nearly 8 million audiences pouring into theaters across North America with only one goal - "The Return of the King", the finale of the Lord of the Rings trilogy!

Not only in North America, because "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" have aroused strong repercussions around the world, and "The Return of the King" has also been released in more than 70 countries and regions overseas, almost without exception, causing a movie-watching boom.
