Chapter 451: The Undisputed Leader

"The first movie in history to have a weekend box office of over 100 million, and the first director in history to have a weekend box office of over 100 million!"

"Duke? Rosenberg became the first person in North America to break 100 million at the weekend box office without any suspense! ”

Also on Monday, public opinion was almost crazy, and the news that the box office of "The Two Towers" broke 100 million in the first weekend was put on the front page, which is a super event in the history of North American films, and it is undoubtedly more attractive than Prince William from abroad.

"Los Angeles Times", "Washington Post", "San Francisco Chronicle" and countless other major newspapers, such as "The Los Angeles Times", "The Washington Post", "San Francisco Chronicle", etc., put Duke's portrait and "Two Towers" poster in the most prominent position, and all kinds of boasting can be seen everywhere on the front page.

"Ten years as a director, Duke? Rosenberg's path to godhood......"

"No one can compare, no one can compare to Duke today? Rosenberg compared, great works, great directors! ”

"$103.03 million, Duke? Rosenberg is once again the king of the market! ”

Not only the media, but also the public, responded strongly, and this is the first film in North American history to grossing more than $100 million in a weekend!

"Congratulations, Evie."

"Ivanka, your boyfriend is really amazing."

Since sitting in the library's computer room, Ivanka has not been idle, many people come to whisper hello and say a few words of congratulations, she knows the influence of Duke's film among young people, but at the moment the feelings are quite complicated.

The most must have been joy, and she was proud even if the person they were wishing Duke to.

It's just that the joy is mixed with a little sourness, which is also the inevitable psychology of a very ambitious person like Ivanka, and at the same time motivates her to work harder.

Ivanka logged on to Duke's website and clicked on the "Two Towers" column. The message board below was almost flooded.

"The first movie to break 100 million at the box office in the weekend, sure enough, only my Great Lord Ring and the Explosive Maniac can do it!"

"Looking back at Hollywood in the previous decade, it is not difficult to find that Duke took this result for granted!"

"Is there anyone else in the Chicago area who goes to see "The Two Towers" and organizes a group to watch the third ......"

Then, Ivanka went on IMDB again and took a casual look. The score is basically stable at 9.2 points, and there are very few negative reviews in the comment column.

After reading this, she logged in to her instant sharing website with administrator privileges and immediately noticed something unusual.

On the homepage of the website, there is a short message with a picture that has been pinned high by countless replies, and the number of visits shown below is as high as 170,000!

Ivanka couldn't help frowning, as of yesterday, the number of registrations on the entire website was only a few hundred thousand, how could the number of visits to this article be so huge?

The first thing that came to her mind was the trolls. But Instant Share is just a small website, and there is no value in flooding it at all.

However, after seeing the picture and the publisher clearly, Ivanka showed a clear expression, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, because the person who posted it was Duke's account, and the content released was "The Return of the King" that countless people cared about!

Moving the mouse and clicking on it, Ivanka understood that her boyfriend was helping herself, although there were only two or three pictures of the battle between Kuromon and Minastiris. The content he wrote was just as simple as 'the two big battles in "The Return of the King", but it exploded in "The Two Towers". Countless people are looking forward to the third part now, and it will attract the attention of a large number of people.

"It's really the same style." Ivanka looked at the picture and muttered.

The pictures are all panoramic views of the battlefield, densely packed with the warring sides, especially the Mordor coalition army, not only are there rings hovering back and forth on flying beasts overhead, but countless huge trolls can be faintly seen. Even behind it, the mammoth looms out.

It was only then that Ivanka noticed that in the upper right corner of her administrator privileges, the number of website registrations had skyrocketed from hundreds of thousands yesterday to 250,000!

Even the most obtused person can see the tremendous contribution of Duke and the Lord of the Rings to the site. It's almost like 911 is to a blog.

Duke's purpose in doing this is also to use his most popular stage to bring the instant sharing site to the forefront, and speed up its development a little, just like he won't keep repeating other people's paths and want to take Christopher? Rokencourt's script was the same, and he was eager to see what kind of Cheng dΓΉ the site could eventually develop. 、

Will it be one of the countless websites that have been inundated, or will it soar like the ones that once were?

On Monday, Hollywood not only major companies, but also many actors, directors and producers also reacted strongly to the first film in history to gross-grossing over 100 million in a weekend, and some of them were interviewed by the media.

"I've competed head-on with Duke's work, and I know what a terrifying pressure it is."

Get out of DreamWorks headquarters, Tom? Crews was stopped by reporters, and when talking about his recognized good friend from the outside world, he said, "No one wants to face Duke's work in the summer, and I'm not surprised that he can get such results, don't you think it's normal?" ”

Steven next to Liangtang? Spielberg was also interviewed, and the old man said, "Among the young generation of directors in Hollywood, Duke is the undisputed leader, he has produced one excellent work after another, and his various techniques in the field of action, science fiction and magic are groundbreaking, and he has profoundly influenced Hollywood filmmaking." ”

At the same time, Duke and the crew members have become the target of many TV shows.

"This is an official invitation from Oprah's talk show."

In a hotel room, Tina? Faye put several invitations in front of Duke, "Oprah? Winfrey invites you to a talk show for the third time. ”

Duke nodded, but didn't mean to agree, but looked at the PR manager opposite, who was a professional in this area.

Pani? Kelis took a few invitations, just simply flipped through them, put them back, and said directly, "Push them all away." ”

"Push it all off?" Duke asked.

"Yes, Duke, except for the Oprah talk show, these shows don't match your status at all, and participating in such shows is detrimental to your style."

Hearing these words, Duke thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

Pani? Kelis added, "Although "The Two Towers" grossed more than 100 million in the first weekend, we don't need to rush out to show in a high-profile manner, box office appeal is never a problem for your movie, and the film is good enough, Warner's publicity does not need us to add more or less of it." ”

"The only thing that's good enough is Oprah's talk show."

Speaking of the show, Pani? Kelis shook his head directly, "Nearly ninety percent of the audience of this show is housewives over the age of thirty-five, maybe others need the support of housewives, but Duke your movie ......"

Duke couldn't help but laugh, his movies were never a housewife's dish, back in the early nineties, Nancy? Josephson reminded him of this, and it was simply unrealistic to expect older housewives to support his popular films.

No matter how good the movie is, it can't kill the whole world, and his movies are destined to fail to shine in the group of housewives.

And the fame that Oprah talk shows can bring is completely dispensable, any program has a targeted group, and Oprah talk shows are simply chicken ribs for the current Duke.

As for Oprah? What would Winfrey think? With Duke's current status and status, he doesn't need to care too much.

"I also got a message." Pani? Kelis's face suddenly turned to Yan SΓΉ, "Oprah? Winfrey's people went to the Middle East and Northern Europe. ”

Duke frowned slightly, "What does she want to do?" ”

"It should be a measure for you to be on the show." Pani? "Even if you refuse to attend, if she can bring in the target, it will make a sensation." ”

People who have watched Oprah's talk show can always meet Oprah? Winfrey looks like she understands and is generous, and after digging out the so-called past and scars of the guests, she will cry with her when necessary, and the hug sent by her generous body is even more famous.

But why does she always dig out the other side of celebrities? Is her words really magical?

Of course not!

As everyone knows, every episode of the show is carefully designed, and before the design, Oprah? Winfrey's company and team will do a lot of targeted investigations, for example, if a celebrity has been abused by his father since childhood, then this father is likely to appear on the show. Bare. Naked to expose the scars of the guests, she jumps out to play a sympathizer or savior......

Oprah's talk show seems to be a show with a very good conscience, but like other media, the process of programming and preparation is as far as the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean combined.

Hear Pani? Those things that Kelis said, Duke had already guessed Oprah? What did Winfrey want to do.

Although his mother never mentioned it, and he never investigated, Duke vaguely knew that his father seemed to be going between Northern Europe and the Middle East.

It's just a talk show, how difficult is it to invite people who are very disgusted to show up and are not short of money?

Duke instructs Tina? Philippine refuses to include Oprah? All the invitations, including Winfrey, threw this matter to the back of their minds, even if Oprah? Winfrey invited his former father, and he didn't care, after all, it had been almost thirty years since the other party disappeared.

If Oprah? It would be better if Winfrey could find him, and Duke wanted to see what had become of the other party after not seeing him for thirty years.

Putting an end to the overly TV discussions, Duke and the crew embarked on a nationwide promotional journey to continue the momentum for "The Two Towers," which set off a tornado frenzy in every city they visited, driving box office and surrounding numbers up. (To be continued......)
