Chapter 389: A Magnificent Epic Picture
"It was the hottest day in the nation since 2001, and NBC TV was in Raymond, Tampa, Florida. James Stadium sent you a live report that the second quarter of the game has just ended, but this Super Bowl is destined to go down in history......
In the living room of the Duke's estate, Duke sat in front of the TV, patiently waiting, Tina? Fei walked over with a pot of black tea, "Halftime is coming?" ”
"It's going to start soon." Duke took the black tea she handed over, "Thank you." ”
Tina? Faye sat on the single couch next to her, she had no interest in the game itself, "Britney is supposed? Spears will perform at halftime. ”
"Do you like her a lot?" Duke was a little weird.
Follow him, Tina? Fei has seen the other side behind the halos of countless big stars, how can she like a youth idol.
"Don't you know?" Tina? Faye thought for a moment, confirmed that she hadn't mentioned it to Duke, and then said, "Britney is considered by many to be the next Madonna, the hottest young singer today, Nancy and CAA's Eno?" Martin is currently poaching her. ”
Duke nodded, Britney's value is undoubted, and now it is the most popular stage, and it must be a hot commodity from the brokerage company.
However, with Britney's poor emotional intelligence, I don't know which company she will choose in the end?
On the TV, the halftime ad hadn't been turned on yet, and the sports commentator continued to ramble, "In the first two quarters of the game, the Ravens' defense completely had the upper hand, and the Giants only advanced a pitiful 71 yards, and were forced to concede the ball 5 times, and were sacked 4 times!" The most incredible thing is that the offensive group of both teams was excellent at one point, and they scored three touchdowns in 36 seconds. Broke the record for the most touchdowns in the shortest period of time......"
Also sitting in front of the TV, Norman? Shearer, on the other hand, was gulping down his beer, quietly waiting for the time slot that belonged to Hollywood, to the advertising time of the movie trailer.
Shearer's brow furrowed, though waiting.
Does he like Duke? Rosenberg format films, especially like the "Matrix" series. In recent years, I have been looking forward to seeing the sequel, but I can only wait, because the director who created a super sci-fi classic went to New Zealand to make the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
"The Lord of the Rings" is a work that many directors dare not touch!
Just when Shearer was thinking, the advertising time finally came, first a series of product advertisements, and then it was Hollywood time, "Pearl Harbor", "Shrek", "Tomb Raider", "Fast and Furious" and other summer films were unveiled one by one, and even "Monster Electric Company" and "A Beautiful Mind", which will only be released on Christmas Day, have released short trailers.
Isn't Lord of the Rings going to be advertised at the Super Bowl? Shearer's brow furrowed even tighter.
The release date of "The Fellowship of the Ring" has long been announced. The weekend before the Memorial Day in the summer season, Duke's movie was not only the pioneer of Hollywood's Super Bowl advertising time, but in the following years, whenever his movie was released in the summer, he never missed the halftime commercial time of the Super Bowl, and they, Duke fans, were also used to waiting for the Super Bowl halftime. Watch the first trailer.
It wasn't until the end of the Hollywood commercial break that Shearer finally saw what he wanted to see. In the midst of the raging flames, a large, unusually evil-looking metal glove wore a golden ring with inscriptions on the ring that he couldn't read.
A female voice full of magnetism sounded, "The Supreme Ring, the Domination of the Rings!" ”
After a few shots showing the Lord of the Rings. The picture becomes darker and darker, and in the dark tones, countless armies march towards the volcano ahead, two well-equipped armies, even if they haven't read the original. Shearer could tell from their appearance that they were humans and elves!
Then, the scene shifts to the front of the elves and humans, and an even larger army rushes over the mountains, and the picture gets closer and closer, and close-ups begin to appear, ugly, evil, and dirty......
That's an orc! With their mouths wide open and their sharp teeth bared, they rushed into the coalition formation, as if to eat them all!
However, they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows!
"Oh my God, their armor and weapons are beautiful!"
The camera pulled in front of the elves' array, Shearer's eyes widened instantly, and a large number of elven warriors bent their bows and arrows, shooting long arrows, and countless orcs fell to the ground with arrows.
The picture slowly zooms out, and then becomes a panoramic shot, the number of people fighting on both sides is innumerable, the huge battlefield has no end in sight, and fierce battles are raging everywhere......
“Oh,My! Oh,My……”
Shearer doesn't know what to say, he's been a fan for ten years, and he's seen countless films, including the scenes about war, including the epic "Gladiator" released last summer, when he saw the opening war scene of this film, he felt that it was fierce and grand enough, but compared to the half-orcs and humans and elves in this trailer, it was weak!
In terms of battlefield scenes and fierce Cheng dù, as well as a macroscopic panoramic display, the trailer of "The Fellowship of the Ring" can throw out the twenty streets of "Gladiator"!
What a magnificent epic picture!
But it's just a thirty-second trailer, and Shearer's love has just been mobilized, and the trailer is already coming to an end.
It was still the golden ring, which seemed to have vitality, and drilled towards the bottom of the river, and the magnetic female voice sounded again.
"Things that shouldn't be forgotten have turned to dust, history has become legends, legends have become myths, and the Lord of the Rings has been quietly waiting for ......"
Finally, there is the release time of the film.
"The Lord of the Rings has been quietly waiting...... "Shearer said to himself, "yes, the Lord of the Rings has been waiting, waiting for the right director to turn it into a great movie!" ”
He sat in a daze for a while before turning off the TV, "I'm going to start waiting!" ”
At this moment, Norman? Shearer, like so many people who saw the trailer, put aside his obsession with The Matrix for the time being and decided to wait for the release of a magical epic called The Fellowship of the Ring!
Those who support Duke are waiting for the trailer, and those who oppose Duke are also waiting for the trailer.
As a die-hard book fan who has been actively advocating protests since the beginning of the filming of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Brad? Miller sat in front of the TV early, not even caring about the New York Giants who supported him and couldn't hold his head up when they were suppressed by the Ravens, just to see what the hell the director of the world, who was famous for causing explosions and destroying the earth, would make his "Lord of the Rings" look like.
The Lord of the Rings, War, Humans, Elves, Orcs...... One by one appeared on the TV screen, in just thirty seconds, Brad? Miller's eyes widened from the initial disdain, and the countless battles of the final alliance between humans and elves that he had imagined in his mind were so real in front of his eyes, and the picture in front of him was even a thousand times more real, magnificent, and majestic than he had ever imagined!
Brad? Miller's eyes were a little red, only hardcore Lord of the Rings fans could understand his mood at the moment, it was excitement, it was excitement that dreams came true!
After all, he has a lot of experience, and as soon as the trailer ended, he thought of countless literary works that had been ruined by Hollywood, and the turmoil in his heart gradually calmed down, and the whole person regained his composure.
However, even Bled? Miller didn't realize it himself, but he was filled with a desire to see what the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings" would look like by the weekend before Memorial Day.
Is it as polished as a trailer, as magical, as epic, or as messy garbage!
In an office building on Wihill Avenue in Beverly Hills, the artist management company has no holiday on Super Bowl day. For Ovitz, although he has recruited many clients from CAA, ICM and William Morris, artist management companies are new to the big companies in the entertainment industry, and every minute and second is extremely precious to the company.
Of course, as a company that is mainly in the Hollywood business, Michael? Ovitz also watched the halftime commercial of the Super Bowl, and this year's summer season has two films released in his package, and even if there are no real strong competitors on the same weekend, if you look at the entire summer season, it can be said that all the big productions released are in competition with his project.
If you want to become a winner in the summer file, you must not only do a good job yourself, but also understand your competitors.
For the summer file, "Fast and Furious" is just an inconspicuous small production, Michael? Ovitz doesn't plan to invest too much in it, the focus of the artist management company in the summer file, or Michael? Bay's Pearl Harbor.
The post-production of this war masterpiece is not yet complete, but seeing Michael? After Bei personally made the trailer, Ovitz nodded with great satisfaction, the trailer is definitely hot enough, which is very in line with the viewing atmosphere of the summer file, especially the spiral bomb perspective imitated from "Brave Death Island", which completely overwhelms Duke? Rosenberg's momentum.
Seen the trailer for Pearl Harbor, Michael? Ovitz's mood has changed a lot, but when he saw the trailer of "The Lord of the Rings" at the end, his mood that had just improved instantly fell to a low point......
What a magnificent war scene it was!
Michael? Ovitz has read the original book, the battle between humans and elves under the Doomsday Volcano, Tolkien did not describe it in too much detail, and the picture shown in the trailer almost makes people's souls tremble!
As a veteran industry insider, Michael? Ovitz remembers very clearly that in the history of Hollywood epics, there has never been such a huge and complex scene of cold weapon warfare!
Duke? Rosenberg deserves to be Duke? Rosenberg.
He could only sigh with emotion. (To be continued......)
