Chapter 400: A Bunch of Retards

"May the stars shine in the night sky, and the endless stars guide you on your journey, and may the curtain of darkness fall, and the evil things far from your holy heart......"

The subtitles slowly fell, and the elegant, smart, and serene singing sounded, Norman? For the first time since the start of the screening, Shearer's eyes completely left the big screen and looked at his watch, more than two and a half hours had passed.

How long is this film? Hiller was shocked!

He felt that the film seemed to be over shortly after it began, and he was so immersed in this fantastic story that he didn't feel the passage of time at all, and now in retrospect, he realized that the progress of the story was more soothing and flat compared to the deadly fast pace of "The Matrix".

What makes him incredible is that the relatively soothing rhythm not only does not make him feel dull and long, but finds it extremely interesting, and the light yì can make the love xù completely sink into it, I just wish the film was longer!

Why can't it be longer? Why does this fantastical journey end here?

And not just Norman? Shearer, the vast majority of the audience in the theater thought so, this is definitely a magical movie, and they don't want to see the end.

There should be no end to such a journey!

The singing continues, and there seems to be a strange mood brewing in the theater, though it can't be seen or smelled, Michael? Bei could feel it.

The film is over, and although the end of the first part is a tragedy, he realizes that the number one box office bomb of this year's summer file has appeared!

Looking around at the average viewer who is sad or excited, but doesn't have any calm or boring looks, Michael? Bei also briefly fell into thought.

is also an epic film of the super long genre, why is "Pearl Harbor" shouted dull by most audiences, but "The Fellowship of the Ring" can make the audience fascinated?

Do you need to be like Duke? Rosenberg has a lot to learn!

Duke isn't Peter after all? Jackson, there is no homeland for New Zealand. While the Hobbits and the Fellowship of the Ring were bound to show the atmosphere of Middle-earth when they were on their way, he would not use some of the shots that were shown purely for the sake of display, and the time saved was discarded except for a small amount to enhance the fights and special effects scenes. This is the 165-minute public version.

Pacing is extremely important for any commercial film, and the pace of "The Fellowship of the Ring" is a bit tepid, but never so slow that it feels dull.

And the slow over-the-top plot either has the exoticism of Middle-earth, or the angels and elves come out to attract attention.

As for the effect......

The subtitles fell, the applause came as promised, and the loud sound changed from scattered to neat, from the thunder to the endless waves. The audience that made up each wave all stood up and clapped their palms with the greatest strength to salute this incredible work and to the director and crew who created this magical journey!

The applause was like thunder, the thunder turned into waves, and the waves continued endlessly, and after five minutes, there was no tendency to stop.

"Congratulations. Duke! ”

The members of the crew had already stood up, and Ivanka was the first to give a hug. And then everyone in the neighborhood!

“Oh,my! Oh,my……”

It seems that he was infected by the scene, and among the main members of the crew, the youngest Ilya? Wood was a little out of control, "What the hell did we do?" O Lord Almighty. What the hell have we done! ”

His eyes turned red with excitement, and he looked at Duke and the others around him, "Is this really what we did?" I can't believe that such a great work was shot in New Zealand! ”

As Ilya? Wood's best friend in the film, Sean? Austin hugged him tightly. "We did it! God, we did it! Let all the damned criticism die! ”

Gerald, who earned countless tears at the end? Seeing that the applause had not yet fallen, Butler suppressed the protest cheering for them when he thought of the red carpet, and couldn't help but wave his fist ventingly, "X's protest!" ”

The whole crew became hyper in applause, how many sins did they suffer in the preparation and filming of the past two years? How much suffering did you suffer? How many scars have been added to the body?

At this moment, they have the capital, the self-confidence, and the need to enjoy the applause, enjoy this applause full of respect!

People will always be affected by the external environment, calm as Duke, and at this time they also clenched their fists!

Although he has never come out in ordinary times, the total investment of more than 500 million US dollars will inevitably be pressed on his shoulders including the announcement, how can he not feel as heavy as a mountain?

How many more people know how many nights he was tormented by insomnia during the filming because of stress, busyness and excitement?

A hand next to him suddenly reached over and grabbed his tight fist, Duke turned his head and nodded at Ivanka, and the agitated feelings gradually subsided.

But the applause still hasn't waned!

Ivanka clenched tightly, her eyes gradually turned to the back, the theater was already lit up, and the dense crowd of people were giving a standing ovation, for a movie, for a crew, for a director, for a person's success!

Everyone is applauding Duke's success!

Even though it wasn't her who paid tribute, Ivanka was still happy, very happy.

Duke took a deep breath and said to Charles? Rowan said, "Greet everyone, go on stage for a curtain call!" ”

Brad? Miller's hand had already been slapping painfully, and he was numb, but he didn't want to stop at all, only in this way could he vent the excitement and excitement in his heart, and seeing everyone in the crew walk on the stage in front of the screen, the power of his clapping palms increased a few points.

The crew took a curtain call under the leadership of the director and producer!

The applause in the theater not only did not stop, but became louder, lasting for nearly ten minutes, and only after the crew had five consecutive curtain calls, the applause gradually subsided.

According to the plan of the premiere, after the screening, the crew will have an interaction with the audience.

The first question inevitably came from the reporter who had done his job beforehand, and the reporter just got the microphone and asked, "Director Rosenberg......"

Then, he found himself unable to ask any more.

Brad? Miller didn't want to wait, he would love to see the next two parts. When the applause stopped, he unconsciously shouted, "Twin Towers!" ”

The eyes of Shearer and Pete next to them immediately lit up, and they shouted, "The Twin Towers!" ”

Anyone who knows the Lord of the Rings knows what 'The Two Towers' stands for, and countless fans are unwilling to end their journey. Spontaneously responded to this call.

"The Twin Towers! Twin Towers! Twin Towers! Twin Towers ......"

In front of the crowd of fans, let alone interaction, nothing can be done.

Duke stood there, microphone in hand, didn't say anything, didn't do anything.

"The Twin Towers!"

The shouts from the sky poured in front of the crew like a tide!

Those reporters didn't care about any interview interactions, and they stood up one after another, looking behind them, they had never seen them before. After a movie was screened, the fans in the audience collectively called for a sequel!

What a spectacle it was.

They raised their cameras, the target was no longer the crew on stage, the crew was irrelevant, they were crazy about shooting even more crazy fans in the back, they didn't care about being murdered by them to kill all the films!

Looking at this qiē, Duke stopped Charles, who wanted to shoot the microphone? Rowan, let the reporter shoot enough!

The screening has been over for more than fifty minutes. The theater had not yet ended, and Chrissy led a protesting brigade. Blocked near the exit of the theater so that when the audience and crew left, they would once again protest loudly.

If you take the benefits given by others, you have to do things for others, and he knows this very well.

It's just that...... It's just that the situation is too strange. It's been nearly an hour since the end time, not to mention the crew members and media reporters, even none of the audience came out.

What's going on?

"Boss ......"

A black kid came over, "Could it be that the audience is extremely dissatisfied with the film and refuses to leave." And smashed the theater? ”

"Is your head full of water?"

Chrissy slapped him the back of the head, pointed at the nearby police officers who had been staring at them, and said, "If that had happened, the police would have been in long ago." ”

The black boy touched his head, and suddenly saw that many audience members came out of the theater door, and quickly reminded, "Come out!" It's out! ”

"Cheer me up!" Chris shouted to the hundreds of people behind him, "Hold up the slogans and banners, wait for the reporters to come out, and shout with me......"

Before he could finish his words, there was a burst of discussion and invective from the audience who came out of front of him, and the voice was high-pitched and excited, and even from a distance, it fell into the ears of the protesters.

"Such a wonderful film is still protesting, you have something wrong with your head!"

"I'm X, protest against the god film in my mind, I'm X, you ......"

"Have you seen the film? I haven't seen it and protested, a group of mentally retarded! ”

"I protest against you protesters!"

The voices from the other side became louder and louder, and Chrissy couldn't help but be stunned, the people who should have started the protest were on their own side, why did they become those spectators?

Just as he was stunned, many young spectators stopped, and many people gathered around them, and quickly formed a crowd of hundreds of people, who looked at the protesters with mocking and sneering faces, as if they were looking at the biggest group of fools in the world.

As in a theater, once a crowd gathers, emotions are easily contagious, and it is not known who in the audience shouts an insult, and then a word with a big head of 'F' falls on the heads of the protesters like a torrential rain.

The reporter also walked out, and Sarah of the Los Angeles Times immediately rushed over with her own cameraman to capture the rare scene.

In an instant, she thought of the headline of the news.

"The Fellowship of the Ring conquered fans with only one premiere, and fans went to war with protesters to defend the film!"

Of course, war was not possible, and the protesters, surrounded by police all the time, immediately rushed over to maintain order, and the men and horses on both sides gradually dispersed.

It was at this time that Miller and Pete, who had left the China Grand Theater, joined the protesters. (To be continued......)
