Made in Hollywood

"Congratulations, Duke."

In the CAA office in Century City, Eno Martin dialed Duke's number as soon as he went to work on Saturday, "I really don't know what to say except congratulations, "The Return of the King"... well, Let's play golf together if we have time, see you later."

Putting down the phone, Eno Martin looked at the opposite, that was one of his ace clients - Leonardo DiCaprio.

"It is estimated that Duke himself has no feelings." Leonardo is obviously fatter than before. "It's ridiculous that some idiots can't distinguish the situation, and they even want to snipe "The Return of the King"!"

Although the words are very obscure, Leonardo has a vague warning. He knows a little bit. Although his agent didn't really make a move some time ago, it's hard to say if he has fanned the flames.

Eno Martin laughed, facing the existence of Super A Grade like Leonardo DiCaprio, not to mention him now, even the most brilliant Michael Ovitz, there are not many The cost of confrontation.

Yes, he doesn't care about Leonardo, but the other party can fire him if he wants to. As for the liquidated damages, I believe there are countless brokerage companies in Hollywood that are willing to pay him liquidated damages, and even if he wants to do something, if not The cooperation of large media companies cannot damage Leonardo too much.

CAA is indeed still the largest entertainment brokerage company in the United States, but Eno Martin is not so stupid as to be arrogant. Even if CAA is doing things, Hollywood studios will really not cooperate with such super A superstars?

What's more, the other party is CAA's signboard, and it is a powerful tool for CAA to implement packaging services.

With Leonardo involved, it is more logical for CAA to use its own personnel in a project.

As for whether Leonardo's words just hurt his face, Eno Martin has never thought about it, since the day he became an entertainment agent. That kind of face was thrown into the Pacific Ocean by him.

Besides, he knew that Michael Ovitz was also in touch with Leonardo to pull him into Martin Scorsese's new project.

"Okay, Ino, let's be here today." Leonardo stood up, "I made an appointment with Duke to play together."

Watching Leonardo DiCaprio leave. Eno Martin sighed. Some time ago, he just pushed him secretly. He didn't expect Leonardo's reaction to be so intense, as if he had a really good relationship with Duke Rosenberg?

Since Martin? Bob stepped down, the relationship between him and Duke has quickly deteriorated. The two sides came together because of a common enemy, and the enemy disappeared. There was no such thing as a common front, and the director moved closer to his current rival, Pat Kingsley.

Although the market share of Hollywood films is growing, the growth rate is not fast. The whole market share is so large, and Duke Rosenberg cannot cooperate with his CAA. The two sides are destined to have a certain competitive relationship. When the time is right, they will push from behind to attack invisible competitors. Eno Martin wouldn't mind.

Just seeing yesterday's box office statistics that he got today, Eno Martin couldn't help but have a wry smile. Duke Rosenberg's power is really not something that can be shaken by these small means.

In just one day on Friday, he got $40.35 million, such a result. It simply makes everyone who has moved their minds to shame.

After seeing this figure again, Eno Martin gradually made up his mind that he would never be like the two idiots Martin Bob and Michael Ovitz, who would go head-to-head with Duke Rosenberg.

"Leo, are you really going to change your image?"

Putting away the club, Duke went back and sat under the umbrella. Leonardo, who was beside him, was turning the cup in his hand, raised his head, and replied, "I'm not like you, who can drive the Academy to its absolute limit. On the way, if I want to win the award, I have to take more practical actions.”

He suddenly mentioned another person, "I saw Sally some time ago, and she almost changed her appearance."

"Oh, what did it look like?" Duke asked curiously.

Leonardo made several gestures, "Shaved off his eyebrows, the whole person is fat..."

Since he came to this golf club, Duke found in Leonardo's words that he had a tendency to turn into a prize-chasing maniac, and he also persuaded a few words, but Leonardo has already reached the limit in business. , it is almost impossible to surpass, Oscar has naturally become his greatest pursuit, Duke's words have no effect at all.

This is related to the career and future of others. Duke can't do more, and speaking, Leonardo's status in Hollywood is no lower than him. Although the two are friends, the other party can't listen to his command. And act.

Duke knew very well that he did not have the aura of mental retardation. After persuading him a few words, he gave up when he saw Leonardo insisting on his own opinion.

Leonardo also intentionally changed the subject, just talking about Duke's "The Return of the King."

"Even Cameron didn't do it like you." Leonardo looked at Duke with a playful smile on his face, as if he had encountered something very interesting, "Duke, you have forced the Academy to have to A choice has been made."

Duke shrugged. "I didn't push them."

"But they have to make a choice." Leonardo was full of interest, "If they want to maintain the tradition they have always adhered to, continue to ignore you and "The Return of the King", and not award important awards to non-realistic films, not only will they be punished Criticized by public opinion, it has been protested and boycotted by countless fans, and it will also affect the fairness they advertise..."

Duke just laughed, but said nothing.

Leonardo continued, "It would be even more interesting if the heavyweight statuette was awarded to you and The Return of the King. This is a non-realistic film, and the Oscars have never had such a situation."

"You seem happy to see them embarrassed?" Duke tilted his head to look at him.

"Of course." Leonardo said of course, "I want to win the Oscar because I have no other pursuits in business, but that doesn't mean I like those people, I really want to see them embarrassed."

"I suggest, Leo." Duke stood up, "After you get the best actor statuette, throw it in the trash at home, so that the expressions of those old men will be more exciting."

Leonardo's eyes lit up immediately, "This is a good idea."

Although Duke took time off and played golf with Leonardo, the promotion of "The Two Towers" did not relax. In this era, the Internet is rapidly rising, and the power of traditional media cannot be ignored, especially the media that some movie lovers pay attention to. , is also an important position for the promotion of the film.

Film critics sing "The Return of the King" badly, but in the face of huge publicity expenses and huge media hype, their voices are pitiful.

Especially in professional film media such as "The Hollywood Reporter", the important positions of the front page headlines are almost all related to "The Return of the King".

"The original "Lord of the Rings" is actually a super long magical epic that is naturally made. After watching the premiere of "The Return of the King", my hanging heart can finally be put down - Duke Rosenberg Grid lived up to everyone's expectations, he gave the third book more exciting scenes, and the overall style remained highly coherent with "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers", which made the film trilogy It has finally become a natural miracle work, and no one can deny that it is a perfect reproduction of the original!"

"The success of The Lord of the Rings trilogy is inseparable from the breadth and depth of the original works. Tolkien's lifelong wisdom ensures the brilliance of each film; but the success of the film is more dependent on director Duke Rosenberg. Grid's unique talent."

"This young director may not have the type-playing genius of Quentin Tarantino, nor the humanistic thinking of Steven Spielberg, but he is amazingly creative and integrated, and his The overall ability is even better!"

"Actually, the more famous the original work, the more difficult it is to adapt, especially for such a broad and profound work as "The Lord of the Rings", the adaptation is almost an impossible task; but Duke Rosenberg has done it almost perfectly, I don't I believe that there is someone who can do better than him, and I also believe that no other director can guarantee that he can do better than Duke.

"On this point, if he doesn't win the Oscar for Best Director this time, it will be a loss for the Oscars. In this world, there are a lot of directors who can make amazing 'art films'; But Duke is one of the few, if not unique, to turn the Lord of the Rings trilogy into a stunning fantasy classic."

"In this sense, Duke Rosenberg, whose character is as strong and unyielding as Aragorn, should be recognized and respected by everyone just like the King Eliza in the film."

"Finally, I would like to say that three years of anticipation have not been in vain, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is as majestic as its name, handing over a perfect answer, which can witness Duke and his "The Lord of the Rings" "The trilogy creates miracles, we sincerely feel lucky and happy!"

The media guides public opinion, public opinion drives the audience, the audience watches the movie, and the movie stimulates high emotions, which will spread among the crowd, and eventually become a burst of word-of-mouth.

On Saturday, major theaters in North America ushered in the craziest movie-watching climax since 2003. Nearly 8 million viewers in North America flocked to the theaters, and they had only one goal - the three Lord of the Rings movies. The final chapter of the song "The Return of the King"!

Not only in North America, because "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" have aroused strong repercussions around the world, and "The Return of the King" has also been screened in more than 70 countries and regions overseas at the same time, almost no Exceptions sparked a movie-watching boom.
