Although the trailer seen is only thirty seconds, Michael? Ovitz dispels any unrealistic illusions.

His fantasies are not complicated, and if "The Fellowship of the Ring" is not as good as he imagined, "Pearl Harbor" can return to its original schedule, after all, there is no better time slot for this World War II masterpiece than Memorial Day.

At the same time, he did not have the idea of avenging himself in "Godzilla".

But things don't always change according to one's wishes, Duke? Rosenberg clearly didn't make a mistake, at least not in the trailer.

He has also read the original book of "The Lord of the Rings", although the world structure and the description of the customs and customs in the book are indeed excellent, but they are more described from a macro level, and even from a certain extent, the famous battles in the original book are basically brushed aside.

If the film is really made in accordance with the structure of the original book, all the war scenes will be brushed aside, and the adapted film may not fail, but the possibility of a big hit will be much lower.

Actually, he's been looking forward to Duke? Rosenberg is a die-hard book lover, and he is able to make the film as faithful as possible to the original book, focusing on the relationships and customs of the characters, and ignoring the war scenes......

But Duke? Is Rosenberg Duke after all? Rosenberg.

Michael? Ovitz shook his head, the brief thirty-second trailer of "The Fellowship of the Ring" turned out to be a huge magical war drama, and all his delusions were shattered.

Having said that, a director who has been successful in the summer file one after another, will he not know what the audience likes to watch?

Disperse all these thoughts, Michael? Ovitz hung up the phone with Touchstone Pictures, emphasizing that "Pearl Harbor" should not change its showtimes, and that there should be enough buffer between the two sides by a weekend. It can also reduce the intensity of competition.

I hate to say it, but Michael? Ovitz had to admit that this time he really didn't face Duke? Rosenberg's courage.

Waiting a few years? He's sure to find the right opportunity, and it's said that Steven? Spielberg is also haunted by the failure of "Heaven and Earth" and has been looking for a strong enough theme......

The halftime ad for Super Bowl Day, as it has been for every previous edition. It has aroused a strong response, and the Internet, as the fastest media, has been active on many websites and forums when the third quarter of the game begins.

Turn off the TV, Norman? Shearer sat down in front of the computer, but instead of entering the blast maniac chat room, he logged directly into Duke's personal website.

Since The Matrix. This personal website, where you can leave messages and share your experiences, has become the place with the highest concentration of Duke's fans.

Shearer went straight to the comments section, which was already buzzing, and the topic of discussion was "The Fellowship of the Ring", which had just released its first trailer.

"I never doubted that Duke would make a magic classic, but I didn't expect that just a thirty-second trailer would be so shocking! Yes, shocking! It was a magical war scene that I couldn't even imagine! ”

He was followed by quite a few people leaving messages.

"It's just a trailer that makes me unable to move my eyes!"

"I swear. I swear by my family honor, thirty seconds. I didn't blink an eye! ”

"Blinking? No kidding, it's a pity to miss even a fraction of a second of a picture. ”

"When the film is released, I will definitely watch it!"

"I don't know when the pre-sale of movie tickets will start, I can't wait......"

See a message, Norman? Shearer pressed the keyboard with both hands. Using his own account to destroy the Duke of Miè, he also sent one.

"I'm not a Lord of the Rings fan, but after thirty seconds, I decided to become one, and it's not because of how great the original book was. It was the Fellowship of the Ring trailer that fascinated and drove me crazy, and I decided to put aside my complaints about Duke on The Matrix for a while and go enjoy a trip to Middle-earth this summer! ”

is enjoying a magical journey, not only ordinary fans, but also many actors.

"Why can't I be in a blockbuster like this?"

In an apartment on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, Jessica? Alba had just turned the tables to Christopher Brown, who was sitting next to him. Rokencourt complained, "I can only become a big star if I work with top directors and participate in top productions......

Think of the magnificent trailer just now, and then think of "Fast and Furious" that also appeared, Jessica? Alba felt that there was no comparison between the two, the former being like a top-notch dish in a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, and the latter being a cone of inferior popcorn.

Although she is the heroine of "Fast and Furious", Jessica? Alba doesn't like this film at all, the director is not famous, the actors are not famous, the investment is not worth mentioning, and it is simply too difficult for a play like Guò to become popular.

If you want to be red, you have to go with Duke? Rosenberg cooperates with a big director.

"Don't worry, honey, you'll have a chance soon."

As a connoisseur of eating with lip service, hear Jessica? Alba's complaints, Christopher? Rokencourt threw out the new bait, "The last time we met, I talked to Duke, and he was very interested in the French Revolution and wanted to make a film about it. ”

He spoke with confidence and sincerity, "Jesse, you know, I'm a Frenchman, I have some connections in France, and I can help Duke realize his ideas, and I'm going to find a suitable epic subject for Duke about French history, and then start a collaboration." ”

"Is this true?" Jessica? Alba's tone was filled with irrepressible surprise.

Christopher? Rokencourt nodded very solemnly, "If the project cooperation is successfully reached, I will definitely recommend you to be the heroine!" ”

Jessica? Alba was happy at first, then pouted slightly aggrieved, "In the end, it won't be like "Fast and Furious" again, right?" ”

"Of course not." Christopher? Rokencourt said patiently, "It was because of the possibility of working with Duke that I withdrew my plan to invest in Fast and Furious, and that new project required too much money. ”

See Jessica? Alba wants to ask, Christopher? Rokencourt immediately said, "Don't ask for the specific time and amount, my dear, I have an agreement with Duke that everything will be kept secret until the cooperation project is officially announced to the public." ”

"Hmm~" Jessica? Albale nodded, "I'll keep it a secret." ”

She is looking forward to the future of superstardom, and the man next to her is also looking forward to his future.

Some methods can be used once or twice, but must not be used too many times, from 1991 to Hollywood, from a poor egg to a millionaire, he has always been looking for suitable targets, those who are rich enough and have dreams and **.

Dreams and ** tend to blind a person, and that's his chance.

Duke? Rosenberg is undoubtedly such a person, and the investment in movies in recent years is often in the tens of millions of dollars, and if he can succeed with him, then he can retire in the future.

What a rare opportunity!

In Hollywood, any opportunity is rare, and now that he has the rights to adapt the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and spent a lot of money on filming and production, Duke certainly wants to make this rare flower of opportunity bear the fruits of success.

After Super Bowl Day, while continuing to be busy with the post-production of "The Fellowship of the Ring", he also actively cooperated with the publicity plan formulated by Warner Bros., appearing in front of the media from time to time, mentioning topics related to "The Lord of the Rings", and even attending this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony for publicity needs, acting as a guest of honor for the best feature film.

At this point, the publicity war of "The Fellowship of the Ring" has completely begun, and when the summer season is still a few months away, Warner Bros. has appeared from the Internet to radio, from magazines to newspapers, from outdoor advertisements to TV station trailers.

Yahoo, IMDB and Duke's personal websites are the focus of online publicity, especially Duke's personal website, which has become the focus of "Fellowship of the Ring" breaking news, and from time to time will post tidbit pictures and even videos during shooting, which has attracted the attention of quite a lot of netizens, and even traditional entertainment media are reprinting it.

Warner Bros.'s TMZ website takes advantage of gossip and often publishes Ilya? Wood and two beautiful models have a feud on the set in New Zealand......

Duke played a role in his film for the first time, which also detonated the enthusiasm of fans.

There are also posters for the film, which have become the focus of intensive propaganda bombing.

This is a group drama, there are a lot of characters, coupled with the influence of the Lord of the Rings itself, many characters have already had a certain degree of popularity, and the posters and shapes of these people are also very valuable for hype and publicity.

Warner Bros. adopted the method of exposing character posters in batches, with Gandalf, Frodo, Aragorn, Saruman, ...... These posters began to dominate theaters and outdoor poster boards across the United States in February.

Among them, a poster released on Duke's personal website overwhelmed everyone's limelight.

Is that the leader of the strong orcs with a small red flower pinned to his hair, standing in the costume of the human emperor? In front of Mortenson, he wanted to play a kissing scene with him.

This spoof poster completely exceeds the limit that ordinary people can bear, and even if people who see it don't understand the identity of the character, they will be hooked and laugh, so as to pay attention to the name and release time of the film on the poster!

Many of the tidbits that Duke commissioned in New Zealand have become a powerful tool in publicity.

However, when it comes to the publicity activities that can affect the entire Western world, we still have to look at the next super show, according to the agreement reached between Time Warner and Victoria's Secret, the theme of the upcoming Victoria's Secret catwalk event is angel elves!

This promotional show was placed in the United Kingdom, the birthplace of "The Lord of the Rings". (To be continued......)
