The film was released simultaneously in many countries and regions around the world and was unanimously well received, with a considerable number of audiences and theater attendance.

In North America alone, the film got $41.28 million in 3,709 theaters on the first day, and the cumulative box office on the first day of the world reached $79.8 million!

With the first two films as a foreshadowing, the quality of "Lord of the Rings 3: The King Comes" itself is absolutely excellent, which has caused a strong response among the audience in the release area, especially the good word-of-mouth word-of-mouth, which has further boosted the box office figures.

Over the next two days, the number of visitors and attendance in various places remained very stable.

Although the pace of the film has been criticized by some, there are not many real rivals in the global film market in June.

Today, North America is still the world's No. 1 box office market, as evidenced by the first-week box office of "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King".

After the first week, the film grossed a whopping $120.19 million in North America, successfully topping the North American box office charts.

The first-week box office in other regions was also released, with $15.22 million in Australia, $19.62 million in France, $31.84 million in Germany, $16.79 million in Japan, $8.5 million in Italy, and $29.25 million in the United Kingdom......

Even small places like Hong Kong and New Zealand have grossed more than $1.5 million in their first week.

"The Lord of the Rings 3: The King Comes Over" has sparked a movie-watching craze around the world, and China is no exception. easily won the box office of 38.5 million yuan in the first week, completely proud of all movies in the same schedule.

As for what some people say will not have an impact on Chinese films, I don't know how he will feel when he sees the box office of other films in the same schedule that only have hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

The film continued to ravage the film market in the region where it was released in the second week, and the second-week box office in North America was as high as 87.5 million US dollars, continuing to be the top of the North American box office list, while China is also very popular, although the box office of 26.4 million yuan is only a fraction of the North American box office, but compared to the number of screens in this era, it is already a very good result.

Ryan is also preparing to end his trip to China. Before leaving, though. He accepted the invitation of "Interview with Yang Lan".

"He is a famous Hollywood movie star, he wrote and starred in films, created a box office miracle in the history of world cinema, he can play a super genius. can also play the screen tough guy ......"

Stand in the background. Ryan could clearly hear Yang Lan's introduction. He promised that during the interview, the two sides would have made representations and would not touch on sensitive political, regional, and ideological issues.

"He started as an obscure child star. became the youngest actor at the Oscars! ”

"Back then, in order to get out of the predicament of life, he picked up a pen and wrote down his fantasies, and now his fantasies have become the popular "Harry Potter" series all over the world."

"Audience friends, hello everyone, welcome to watch this issue of Yang Lan's interview, and I invite the guests of this issue below...... Oscar-winning Ryan? Jenkins! ”

There was warm applause from the front desk, Ryan sorted out his casual clothes, walked out, smiled and waved his hand below, and sat opposite Yang Lan across the round glass table.

"Hello Ryan, is there no problem communicating in Chinese?"

"No problem." Ryan nodded, "Please don't say local slang." ”

The audience below applauded and laughed, there is too much news about him in the newspapers these days, and being able to speak fluent Chinese has naturally become the focus of the report.

"Can you tell us where you learned Chinese?" Yang Lan said with a smile, "There shouldn't be many Hollywood stars like you who can speak Chinese, right?" ”

"Actually, there aren't many." Ryan avoided the important, "Chinese learned from a Chinese volunteer in a welfare home when I was young, and my language talent is still ......."

Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Although I only know English, Chinese, and not much French, I think it's still good, I studied for a long time at that time, and then when I was in London, I hired a special tutor." ”

"So, you know a lot about Chinese culture?"

"I don't know, I know some."

As soon as Ryan's voice fell, Yang Lan asked an indispensable question when dealing with foreigners, "What is your impression of China?" ”

"A very beautiful country." The reason why Ryan was interviewed was to leave a better image, "Before coming to Shanghai, I used to film in Guilin, and it was so beautiful......

As long as he doesn't get involved in sensitive issues, Ryan doesn't mind saying all the words he can to praise.

Of course, his ostensible identity is a Hollywood movie star, and the center of the topic is naturally inseparable from movies.

"Actually, it was Peter who contributed the most to the Lord of the Rings series? Director Jackson, it can be said that without him there would be no success of the series. Ryan understands that he has to be humble here, "and he's been working on the trilogy for more than six years so far." ”

The audience under the stage made a startled sound.

"Can you elaborate on that? I believe that many viewers are curious about how such a magnificent movie is made. Yang Lan asked at the right time.

"Back in 1997, Peter approached me and provided me with the first draft of the script." Ryan explained in as simple language as possible, which is also to promote the film, "He moved me, and then the film was officially established, and the preliminary preparations began, just the preparation work lasted for two years, and the subsequent shooting lasted another year and a half, for such a magical work, post-production zuò requires more energy than shooting." ”

"So the trilogy was filmed at the same time?"

"Yes, long-term filming is very hard and very tedious, we actors can take vacations, but directors can't."

"Can you tell us how much budget you originally had for the series?" Yang Lan asked.

"The initial budget is $300 million, and the actual production cost is much more than that, about $350 million!"

"You were only seventeen then, right? What prompted you to make such a big investment? There was also the previous Titanic, as we all know, this project was also facilitated by your investment. ”

Ryan laughed, "Confidence in the Hollywood film model, and gut instincts, my gut instincts have proven to be quite reliable, and these films have been successful. ”

"We all know that you've just finished filming Star Wars, and you're going to be in a new movie?"

"Yes, it's both my job and my greatest interest." Ryan thought for a moment and said deliberately, "The new work will probably be based on a real event. ”

"Is it convenient to reveal the content?"

Hearing this, Ryan shook his head with a smile, "I'm sorry, this is a trade secret, and I just have a preliminary idea, and I have to continue thinking about it after returning to North America." ”

"From a media perspective, Ryan, you've been getting interviewed less and less in recent years, and you've barely been on talk shows, why is that?"

"I always have a lot of work to do, making movies is just part of the job, I have a lot of things to deal with." Ryan shrugged gracefully, "There's never enough time. ”

"Speaking of work, I wonder if you've heard of Ryan's other identity?" Yang Lan didn't sell it, and directly said the answer, "He is also the chairman of Walt Disney." ”

"It's the Disneyland that owns Disneyland and created Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck." She added.

There were bursts of consternation from the audience, and some people opened their mouths wide.

"Can you tell us what it's like to be the chairman of Disney, Ryan?"

"Actually, I'm rarely involved in specific operations." Ryan shook his head and smiled, "Disney has a team of professional managers to handle daily affairs, and my work is mainly focused on the film business. ”

Yang Lan skillfully controlled the direction of the topic, as long as the other party's question was not excessive, Ryan was also willing to cooperate with the answer, and sometimes he would humor a few words.

"How many times have you been to China?" The topic went around in circles and went back to the beginning.

"Well...... Ryan recalled, "the first time I came was to attend a concert in Golden State, and then I went to Hangzhou to see the filming progress of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and this should be the fourth time. ”

"If it weren't for work, I'd actually love to stay here for a while." He smiled again.

"We all know that you have invested in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, do you have any plans to continue to cooperate with the Chinese side in the next step?"

"Disney has been trying to build a solid relationship with China, and we have an in-depth collaboration with Huayi on Harry Potter, a young Chinese girl who is about to play an important role in Harry Potter, and ......"

Ryan gushed a lot, but most of it was the work he had been trying to advance over the past few years.

The Miss Yang on the other side is a smart person, who has studied in the United States for many years, and she also knows what Ryan's identity and net worth represent, and she has never touched on any sensitive issues.

She wants to introduce her interview to North America, and negotiations with ABC TV are ongoing.

Finally, she made a little joke, "Ryan, you have a very affectionate nickname among your supporters in China, I don't know if you've heard of it?" ”

"Of course." Ryan nodded, deliberately embarrassed and said with a smile, "Is it Xiao Rui?" ”

The audience at the scene laughed at the same time as Yang Lan.

"I knew it was a way for them to show their affection for me." Ryan then said, "Actually, I like it too. ”

Although the interview was not broadcast live, Ryan subsequently left China, and after the broadcast of this episode, the image of a Hollywood star who speaks fluent Chinese, understands China and likes Chinese culture is erected here, and even though opponents are everywhere, Ryan still becomes the most popular Hollywood star, and movies under his name tend to attract more audiences.
