"Gold Medal acquires a new line, and "The Hobbit" is reloaded."

"Universal-Gold and New Line Films have teamed up to create 'The Hobbit,' the prequel to 'The Lord of the Rings.'"

"The Lord of the Rings trilogy is back, and Universal Gold has spent $790 million to build the 'The Hobbit' trilogy."

"Will 'The Hobbit' be a continuation of the mythology of the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Peter. Jackson said: He is confident. ”

As soon as the news of the $790 million "The Hobbit" trilogy was announced, the news of Universal Gold and New Line Films spending $790 million immediately caused a shock in the global film industry.

It was The Hobbit, a prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

There are countless fans of the "Lord of the Rings" novels and movie fans around the world, and this time, the "Hobbit" trilogy is coming again, and it has taken the same shooting as "The Lord of the Rings".

And most importantly, the director of the "Hobbit" trilogy is none other than Peter Brown, the father of the Lord of the Rings. Jackson.

Movie fans across the globe are going crazy.

"The new line is powerful, come on "The Hobbit", what are the recent movies released, all of them are literary films, I have already vomited."

"I want to watch commercial blockbusters, I want to watch 'The Hobbit', speed system zuò."

"The new line is starting to fry cold rice again, $790 million to build the "The Hobbit" trilogy, and I really think that "The Hobbit" has the title of "The Lord of the Rings" prequel "The Lord of the Rings"? Sit back and wait for the next "Dark Materials: The Golden Compass" to be born. ”

"Tut, 'Dark Materials: The Golden Compass' directly dragged down the new line. I reckon that this "The Hobbit" will bring down the entire world - gold medal. ”

"Don't dream upstairs, drag down the world - gold medal? You are still living in a dream, you probably don't know that the Gold Medal Group makes more than $5 billion in a year in the online game market alone, let alone a "Hobbit" trilogy, and five more "Hobbit" trilogies, Universal-Gold Medal will not be dragged down, and it is not certain that the "Hobbit" trilogy will lose, since the new line movies and Universal-Gold Medal dare to do the "Hobbit" trilogy directly, it is clear that they believe that the "Hobbit" trilogy can reach the height of "The Lord of the Rings". At least at the box office. ”

on the web. There are those who are optimistic about "The Hobbit", and there are also those who are not optimistic about "The Hobbit".

The reason is very simple, a one-time investment of $790 million to create "The Hobbit" is shocking no matter which Hollywood giant is born, but it was born in the hands of a new line of movies.

New Line Films is the maker of The Lord of the Rings, and it's true. They also created many fantasy classics. That's right. But the problem is that the new line films only collapsed last year with "Materials of Darkness: The Golden Compass", and were gloriously incorporated into Time Warner, and now they immediately announced that they would spend $790 million to create the "The Hobbit" trilogy. Even if they find a family with strong strength, this change is too fast!

It was as if a man who was still a beggar had just suddenly transformed into an emperor and sat on the Jinluan Palace, with a yellow robe.

The current new line movie is the beggar in the yellow robe, not that the new line can't work, but the $790 million investment is not a small new line at all, even with the support of Universal - Gold Medal behind it, it also makes people wonder if the new line movie can make this unprecedented investment "The Hobbit" good.

The fiasco of "Dark Materials: The Golden Compass" is still in sight, and this masterpiece that was pinned on by the new line has directly become a straw that crushes the new line, and it is also the most weighty straw.

And now there's another masterpiece of hope? Aren't you afraid to follow in the footsteps of "Materials of Darkness: The Golden Compass"?

"Dark Materials: The Golden Compass" dragged down New Line Films, aren't you afraid that "The Hobbit" will directly drag down Universal - Gold Medal? Even if it is the gold medal group standing behind the world, but the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars, I am afraid that the gold medal group will be painful for a long time!

The gold medal is not Sony, behind Sony stands Sumitomo Mitsui Bank, billions of dollars in losses are a drizzle for them, and tens of billions of dollars in losses will make them die in pain.

However, no matter what the outside world says, the new line and the global gold medal are already in preparation.

It is impossible to call the $790 million fund at once, but 100 million has been called in the early stage, and this 100 million is mainly used to select venues, select actors, and sign a series of contracts.

100 million sounds like a lot, but if it is evenly shared, it is actually not much, especially the remuneration of those big-name stars, according to the agreement, part of it will be paid as remuneration.

These stars, especially some stars who sign a salary for three dramas by one person, are often paid in advance for millions or tens of millions, and more than half of the funds for 100 million are paid on it.

Ignoring the global shock caused by the start of the filming of the "Hobbit" trilogy, Li Lin personally urged them to set up this plan and left the United States after only finalizing a few roles.

A month later, "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" was officially announced.

On the day of the finale, he was approached by an unexpected person.

"Contemptible Central Propaganda Department Luo Yongheng."

Luo Yongheng, who claimed to be the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, had a kind look on his face: "I came here this time to hope that Mr. Li would be invited by him. ”

Wish.

It's a request, not a command.

Li Lin's identity as an artist alone is not enough to make the people of the Central Propaganda Department so kind, and those who can be so kind only have gold medals.

It is a large enterprise at the level of tens of billions of dollars, and it is already a consortium in China, but more importantly, Li Lin holds the Times Publishing Group in his hands.

At a time when people from the outside world are paying attention to new line movies and "The Hobbit", the Central Propaganda Department is focusing on the Times Publishing Group and "Time Magazine".

The Olympics are about to be held, all the publicity has been launched, the documentary "Beautiful China" has been prepared, and the BBC has spread to the Western world, so that more people know the beauty of China.

But that's not enough.

For an event like the Olympics, no amount of preparation is enough.

Therefore, he came to Li Lin, and he came to negotiate with Li Lin on behalf of the Central Propaganda Department.

"What invitation?" Li Lin became curious.

What kind of invitation can actually make the Central Propaganda Department come forward.

"Singing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games."

What the!

Li Lin was shocked.

Singing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!

It's such an invitation

What was the '08 Olympics? That's a very big thing, for this reason, the Central Propaganda Department has been preparing for at least four years, and countless manpower and material resources have been invested, just in the middle of last year, the Central Propaganda Department directly wanted to leave Zhang Yimou, the purpose was to prepare for the opening ceremony, they were domineering and didn't even communicate with the gold medal group, and when they took people away, the gold medal group reacted.

Of course, the reaction of the gold medal group was that there was no reaction.

Just kidding, how powerful is the Central Propaganda Department at this time, and the Olympics are about to be held, who dares to stop it? At this time, all those who are blocking are sinners, let alone a gold medal group, and even big brother-level groups like PetroChina and Sinopec dare not work against the Central Propaganda Department.

From the beginning, Li Lin never thought that he would be invited.

The reason is simple, seniority.

It is true that he is now very famous and popular, but don't forget that at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the Central Propaganda Department always looks at qualifications.

And he happened to be not qualified enough, coupled with the news he heard from other channels, he knew that the Central Propaganda Department had already booked a candidate.

The Chinese singer is Liu Huan, and the British singer Sarah. Brightman.

So he just died.

Now, when the Central Propaganda Department came to sue him that they were going to invite him to extend the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Li Lin's first reaction was to lie to him!

In terms of popularity and singing skills, he dares that he is not weaker than Liu Huan, and even surpasses Liu Huan in popularity, but compared to qualifications, he can't catch up with Liu Huan.

Besides, even if Liu Huan doesn't go, it won't be his turn, and in front of him, there are still a lot of veteran artists waiting to sing the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!

What an honor was the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games? And the Central Propaganda Department opened its mouth, who would dare not to go up? No matter how you look at it, it won't be his turn.

"Is something wrong with Teacher Liu Huan?" Li Lin didn't pretend to be stupid, this kind of thing is no secret in the industry, of course, no one will break it out casually, even if it does, no newspapers, magazines and TV stations dare to write it.

Just kidding, the big Buddha of the Central Propaganda Department is pressed here, who dares to disagree?

"Otherwise, how could the Central Propaganda Department not choose Teacher Liu Huan?"

"And logically speaking, I, a junior, don't seem to be qualified to go past those seniors to sing the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!"

He won't go without answering his doubts.

A stage that you can't go up to suddenly invites you to go up, I'm afraid it's not pie in the sky, but a trap in the sky.

If he is a simple artist, it doesn't matter, but the problem is that he still holds a group in his hands, and he is afraid that someone will use the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games as a trap to seize the group in his hands.

A group of tens of billions of dollars is enough to make people brave enough to do things.

Luo Yongheng smiled bitterly in his heart.

If it weren't for the need to use the channels of the gold medal group in Europe and the United States to publicize, it would be impossible to find Li Lin at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games this time, even if he is the flag-bearer of his new generation, even if he is very prosperous internationally.

As long as it doesn't get to the point of MJ, his popularity will be ignored by the Central Propaganda Department.

But the problem is that the Central Propaganda Department needs the propaganda channels of the Gold Medal Group in Europe and the United States.

The Times Publishing Group has 12 propaganda outlets, including four newspapers, eight magazines, and the most famous, of course, Time Magazine, one of the three major weekly magazines in the United States.

Moreover, as one of the Hollywood giants, the Gold Medal Group also has extraordinary influence on other Hollywood giants, especially the media giants, and the Central Propaganda Department needs to rely on their strength, so this invitation is made. (To be continued......)
