The broadcast of the talk show has played a certain role in publicity, and whether the capital belongs to the official or private, the pursuit of interests is a commonality of nature, and China Film Group has also been building momentum for the film, although the box office has declined in the next two weeks, it has basically stabilized by about 20 million yuan.

However, the journey of "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" in Chinese theaters has come to an end, and whether the film can continue to be released is not up to the market.

As an imported film from Hollywood, it is almost impossible to get the 'key' to the postponement of a certain game, and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" was completely removed from Chinese theaters four weeks after its release.

Even after only less than a month of release, the film still got 120 million yuan at the box office in China, although it is not even 20 million in US dollars, but under the restrictions of the number of screens and the audience today, this result is very good.

If it can be postponed, it will not be a problem for the film to break 200 million.

Although he can only get 20% of the share, Ryan is still very satisfied with this trip to China, this is just the beginning, the Chinese market has not yet reached the time to strengthen, and he and Disney have already identified some advantages.

Moreover, the hot release of movies such as "Hero" and "The Lord of the Rings" has also made the capital here pay attention to the theater market, and the news from Disney's Far East Branch said that a number of Chinese groups are preparing to enter the theater industry in the near future.

When "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" was released, it was difficult to find tickets in many prime times in some big cities, and with enough screens, there would be a market for carrying movies.

Compared with the Chinese market, which has just entered a stage of rapid development, North America is still the most relied on box office for Hollywood.

After the first two weeks of the film's popularity, it inevitably entered a rapid cooling phase, and the box office plummeted to $45.2 million in the third week.

By the fourth week, as other movies were released, the number of theaters dropped to more than 2,700. The single-week box office also dropped below $10,000, and the box office figure for the new week stayed above $24.79 million.

In less than a month, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has accumulated $270 million at the North American box office, showing the momentum of the annual box office champion.

At the same time, the film has gradually entered the end of the screening period in overseas regions where it was released at the same time, and the box office growth has become slow, but the film has earned more than $700 million from the global box office in one month, almost catching up with the more than $800 million of last year's world box office champion "Spider-Man".

Some new overseas regions. For example, Russia and the Arab world have joined the ranks of screenings, which are new box office growth points, and judging from the predictions of several professional organizations, it is not a problem for "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" to break one billion dollars at the global box office.

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy series has led the trend of magical epics in world cinema, and many people have become beneficiaries of it.

For example, the custodian of Tolkien's works and his descendants received considerable copyright fees and shares; Like Ilya? Wood and Orlando? Bloom, with this series, has become a Hollywood a-line. It can be described as fame and fortune; Like Andy? Serkis, who barely showed himself in the movies, portrayed the greatest motion-capture character, Gollum, is a leading figure in the industry......

And the two people who benefited the most. Ryan and Peter for sure? Jackson.

Needless to say, Ryan, although the character in The Lord of the Rings was only the icing on the cake for him, he received a huge monetary reward.

Big New Zealand fat Peter? Jackson, after the release of the third installment. has become one of the most high-profile directors in Hollywood in the new century, not to mention the trilogy's total of 10 million US dollars and 5% of the box office share, just in the mouth of the media. He's almost ready to talk to James? Cameron and Stephen? Spielberg is a super-big director side by side.

Now Peter? Jackson can be described as a glamorous one, and even many professional media believe that he will be one of the strongest contenders for the Oscar for best director next year.

Of course, Ryan knows Peter? What is Jackson's flaw, although "Elf Diamond" is still in his hand, he does not plan to release it immediately, let the big fat man continue to scourge Universal Pictures, and if he does not suffer a heavy failure, how can his gradually expanding heart be reined?

He'd already heard that the crazy Lord of the Rings fan and King Kong fan was reaching out to Universal Pictures to bring Universal's most famous character back to the screen.

Well...... Maybe I can recommend a heroine to him, the two sides have a very pleasant cooperation on "The Lord of the Rings", presumably the big fat man will definitely think about it.

"Hey, hey, hey, my dear brother Ryan!"

Taylor's voice came from the side, "Are you here to help, or are you here to make trouble, do you want to break Nat's favorite vase?" ”

Ryan, who was holding an abstract vase, quickly recovered from his thoughts, turned his head and winked at Taylor, and walked into the living room of the villa.

This is Natalie's villa in North Hollywood, which is about two acres long, and after graduating from Harvard, she took care of some personal affairs in New York, and officially moved to Los Angeles. Johnson became a neighbor.

"Nat, where is this?"

Walking over to Natalie, who was in charge in the center of the living room, Ryan tapped the large vase he was holding with his chin.

"Put it at the door." Natalie pointed to the other side, and after Ryan put it down, she shouted to Scarlett, who came down from upstairs, "Scarlett, help clean up the lilies that Taylor brought, and our work for today is done." ”

"Okay, I'll go now."

The blonde girl ran out of the villa, and soon after she and Taylor walked in with a large bouquet of flowers each and inserted it into the vase that Ryan had placed.

"Oh, it's finally done."

Taylor walked over to the couch and leaned over the high back, "Nat's new home is beautiful." ”

She turned her head and looked at Scarlett, who was sitting on the single sofa, "Much better than your taste." ”

"Alison!" Scarlett bared her teeth, threw away the towel that wiped her sweat, and continued, "You don't speak, no one treats you like an egg!" ”

"Have you ever seen such a beautiful egg from me?" The little girl almost jumped up and rushed to Scarlett's side, giggling and making a fuss, "Speaking of which, you're more like an egg, and it's round and feels great to the touch!" ”

As she spoke, she pressed her hand on Scarlett's chest and deliberately pinched two handfuls, "Wow, Scarlett, you're getting bigger again!" ”

"Do you think every girl is like you?" Scarlett fired back unceremoniously, "I'll be fourteen years old soon, and it's still an airfield!" ”

"Hey! You little chubby chick......" This almost poked directly at the girl's sore point, and Taylor almost jumped again.

Natalie looked over and Ryan gave her a look, and the Long Island girl walked over and pulled the two girls apart, "Okay, Scarlett, Allison, what do you want to do?" ”

"Nothing......" Taylor stuck out his tongue and cocked his nose at Scarlett, walked over to Ryan's side, and sat down on the couch.

The two girls have been getting used to it since they were children, and Ryan didn't care, and sorted out her loose blonde hair, "Honey, you're a big girl now, but you're still so naughty." ”

"She'll always be a little kid who doesn't grow up." Scarlett straightened her T-shirt and said to this side, "Especially in front of you, Ryan." ”

"It's not like that." Taylor grabbed Ryan's arm and turned his head to the other side.

She has clearly entered a period of rapid growth, and during this time she has grown taller, completely surpassing Scarlett and Natalie, but still looks like a little scoundrel in front of those close to her......

Leaving the affluent neighborhood where Natalie and Scarlett lived, Ryan and his party arrived at an Italian restaurant near Laurier Valley Boulevard.

There weren't many people in the restaurant, so Ryan found a quiet seat by the window, and after the girls ordered, they sat together and chatted and ate.

"Cheers to Nat's move to Los Angeles!"

Even though the cups were full of juice, Ryan brought yì to yì, and everyone's cups collided together.

"Cheers to Scarlett for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival!" After everyone was filled with juice, Natalie mentioned yì again.

"yes, for Scarlett's sakelett, cheers!" Taylor hurriedly chimed in.

"Thank you!"

After clinking glasses, Scarlett? Johnson deliberately turned to this side, "Thank you, Ryan. ”

"You're welcome." Ryan smiled, "We're friends, it's right to help each other, besides, this kind of opportunity is rare." ”

The president of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival is Judy? Foster, PR is a little bit easier, but Sophia? Coppola lost the Palme d'Or.

A significant portion of the total $8 million investment in "Lost in Translation" came from Ryan, who would find a way to gild the film even for later gains.

"What's next for you?"

While eating an authentic Italian meal, Natalie asked Ryan.

"If you want to adapt a movie, it may take a little longer." Ryan put down the dishes, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, "The film based on the declassified Iranian hostage incident is now in negotiations with the CIA in order to get the authorization as much as possible." What about you, Nat? Now that you've graduated, do you have any plans? ”

"Take on the movies that interest you." Natalie looked at the two girls muttering opposite, and her energy turned back to Ryan, "And then continue to learn about directing, only when you embark on this road, do you understand that it is really not easy." ”

She smiled at Ryan, "If you want to make achievements, how can you not work hard?" Scarlett and I are planning to make a real movie. ”

"Confidentiality?" Ryan asked.

"Well, secrecy!" Scarlett on the other side answered first. (To be continued......)
