Bright sunlight shone down on a mansion in the suburbs of Chicago and illuminated the exquisite garden, Roger? Albert sat alone at a small table in the garden, enjoying morning tea, and several servants had ducked out of the garden early, as if sitting there was not the most well-known film critic in the United States, but a monster who chose to eat people.

Everyone else hid, except for Stiller, the butler, who occasionally walked to the little garden to look at it, but never stepped into it to disturb its owner.

From 1995 to the present, they have also adapted to the situation.

The one sitting in the garden, generous and hearty to the media, seems to be just a well-mannered critic, but Stiller, who has served him for many years, knows very well that his own filmmaker's heart is not much bigger than the eye of a needle.

When did this situation evolve? Stiller thought back for a moment, and finally remembered - Duke? Rosenberg's "Independence Day"!

He remembers that Roger had the hardest lash at the time, and then the target of the bake was the most successful at the box office to date.

Since then, the feud between the two has been settled, and most of the time, Roger is powerless against the director's summer films, no matter how fiercely he criticizes, the audience still buys the film's account and basically ignores his reviews.

It also made Stiller realize that the people he served did not have the terrifying influence he had imagined.

One time can be considered an exception, "Saving Private Ryan" because of Mel? Gibson's scandal made Duke? Rosenberg became the favorite for the Oscar for Best Director, but the final result was won by Tim? Robbins was in an upset, and Roger must have done a lot of work in private.

Seemingly, this is also Roger's only victory.

In recent years, Duke? Rosenberg is releasing films almost at a rate of one per year. Roger gave bad reviews and low scores without exception, but the audience ignored his film reviews and went into the theater to buy tickets, creating Duke? Rosenberg's successive glories.

It's just that Roger has a small amount of energy, but he is still very conceited, and he always likes to collect Duke as soon as possible? Various numbers of Rosenberg's films. One can imagine how he would react when he saw those who could light up the blind.

Gradually, the servants summed up their experience, and in order to avoid becoming a punching bag, they simply hid away at that special time period.

"Why bother, why bother?"

Thinking of this, Stiller couldn't help but shake his head, even he could see it clearly. Film critics have weakened, especially the influence on summer programs, which has fallen to almost the lowest level ever.

Is it possible for a film critic who focuses on literature and art to compete with a director who focuses on commercialization in the summer file? Why bother?

If it were another director, maybe he would have been attacked so violently by Roger and the film critics, maybe it would be over, but Duke? Rosenberg is powerful. It's not something that critics can shake at all.

For Roger? Albert has been in the service for so many years, and Stiller sees some things quite clearly. The right to speak in public opinion is indeed in the hands of a few people, the question is that it will not be in the hands of film critics, even if Roger can unite all the film critics in North America?

How can a group with no more than 400 people at most, and in fact unable to influence major media groups, confront a director who has tens of millions of fans in the United States and is still a major shareholder of Warner Bros.?

Stiller was not without persuasion. It's a pity that since he won the Pulitzer Prize, he can't listen to other people's rebuttals.

Just, are these worth it?

Last year, Roger? Albert had just undergone surgery for thyroid cancer, and Stiller was very skeptical. This has something to do with the fact that there is always a time every year when he can't vent his anger in his heart.

Every single one delivered to him Duke? The statistics of Rosenberg's films, in Stiller's view, are like letters from Satan.

There are some things that Stiller can persuade once or twice, but he can't keep persuading, he is just a housekeeper after all.

Looked at Roger in the garden again? Albert, Stiller shook his head and chose to leave for the time being.

On the small dining table in the garden, breakfast and morning tea are quietly placed, without touching the traces, a copy of yesterday's Chicago Sun-Times and a copy of today's statistics are placed at the same time in Roger? Albert in front of him.

The Chicago Sun-Times opened up to his column yesterday, which was mostly about the review of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

"The film does show us some beautiful scenery, but it can't hide the long and boring plot, you sit in the theater and insist on watching it for an hour at most, and you will feel drowsy, this adaptation is too far from people's expectations, and the protests of book fans are not unreasonable......"

See your own reviews, look at the 6.2 rating, look at the film's first-day box office figures, Roger? Albert felt that this was simply a mockery of himself!

He's just slammed The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in a column that doesn't even use Duke? Rosenberg took action personally, and today's freshly released crew statistics returned a resounding slap in the face.

"Ninety-four percent of the theater audience received praise on the first day, and the overall evaluation was A+!"

Maybe these are nothing to arrogant film critics, in their inherent opinion, the public's must be vulgar, but the most important thing for a commercial film is that he disdains on the surface, but in fact dreams of influencing the number of jù, is so dazzling and dazzling!

"$27.11 million!"

This is the first-day box office of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring!

Seeing this number, even Roger? No matter how conceited Albert is, he also understands that he, the so-called most authoritative film critic in North America, has an influence on ordinary movie fans, which cannot be lower.

In addition to making a fuss about the academic awards during the awards season, what can they do in the summer?

Roger? Albert suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and immediately remembered his condition, and quickly adjusted the rhythm of his breathing to calm his feelings, although he had cancer, he didn't want to die, at least in Duke? He can't die until Rosenberg is finished!

The film critic has fallen to this day, and his income has plummeted by nearly half compared to previous years, all because of him!

It was this young director who did not abide by the rules of film critics who stepped on the cake of film critics, so that the whole Hollywood found that film critics were actually strong outsiders.

Since their interests have been moved, they must pay the waiting price, and they must not fall until he has paid enough waiting price!

Breathing is calming, Roger? Albert's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, maybe he can't snipe at each other in the summer or commercially, but as long as he is alive, that guy doesn't want to touch the best director little golden man!

He swears!

Whatever Roger? No matter how much Albert swears, he can't stop Duke from moving forward unwaveringly, in a more successful direction.

The success of the director comes from the accumulation of successful works.

What needs to succeed now is undoubtedly "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

On Sunday afternoon, Duke led the entire Fellowship of the Ring to appear at the Santa Monica Mall and kicked off the crew's promotional journey in North America, with Gandalf, Aragorn, Frodo, Legolas and King Elon also appearing.

Especially Orlando, who starred in Legolas? When Bloom appeared in front of the fans, the girls who had already seen the film rushed up almost frantically, and by the time the security guards rescued Bloom from a group of female perverts, his hair turned into a bird's nest, his casual jacket was torn several times, and the zipper of the jeans door was directly torn......

"Orlando, you're a big star now."

Hide in the lounge at Santa Monica Mall, Billy? Boyd was still joking with him, "Look at those girls, if you're looking for a female companion, I think everybody will pounce." ”

"Don't talk about me, you're also a star now." Orlando? Bloom directly countered, "If you stand up and hook your hand, there must be a whole bunch of female fans who are willing to accompany you tonight." ”

"Did you say so, Duke?" He turned to Duke and asked.

Duke nodded and said to everyone, "Guys, enjoy the ride." ”

"yes, it's been a dream ride!" Elias? Wood was the youngest and had the most emotion, "I fired Martin in the first place? Bob, insist on participating in the audition, and sure enough, it was right! I won my first and second single-day box office titles. ”

Elias? It's no secret that Wood fired his agent for Frodo's audition, and everyone laughed when they heard him say that.

"I'm not kidding, I'm very serious!" Elias? Wood stood up from the chair he was sitting in and said sternly, "We grossed $27.11 million on Friday!" Yesterday and Saturday......"

Gerrard, who has never liked jokes? Butler took over, "$32.24 million!" ”

Elias? Wood looked at everyone in the break room one by one, "Do you know what that means?" This is the second single-day box office champion in my life for me, but what about everyone? ”

What this means, it is clear to all!

Ian, the oldest in the lounge? McLean said the answer, "We! All of us! Together we created the highest single-day box office in North American film history since the birth of the movie! We have set a new record! ”

"Yes, we are record makers!"

Except for Duke, who was smiling all the time, the others burst into cheers.

This is a memorable number, and it is also a record that will be remembered, and those who set the record will be written in the history of the film industry in North America and even in the world!

They do qualify for pride and excitement!

The North American promotional tour of "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" begins at Santa Monica Mall, and Duke will lead the entire crew from west to east, pushing through the famous big cities in the United States to gather the maximum box office numbers possible.
