Made in Hollywood

After the new box office briefing came out, Duke took the lead to leave England, David and Panney Kelly stayed here temporarily, and continued to maintain the scandal with Manchester United. Procrastinate the negotiation a little longer, and strive to attract more attention.

Duke is not very interested in Manchester United. If the other side is really willing to sell about 300 million pounds, he doesn't mind the next move. After all, the future Premier League is the era of gold and dollars, and it is also stable to resell to the local tyrants in the Arab world in the future. Profitable business.

However, such a price may not be able to impress the shareholders of Manchester United Club, and as the news hype continues to come out, the Glazer family, also from North America, has also joined the game.

Doing so will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of some England Manchester United die-hard fans, but there are not many Manchester United fans in England. Who cares about Manchester United fans outside the UK where the owner of the acquired club comes from?

The dissatisfaction of England's local die-hards is nothing compared to the ripple effects it can trigger on fans and media around the world.

At the same time, due to facing Pixar Studio's blockbuster "Finding Nemo" in the new weekend, even though the audiences between the two sides are very different, the Lord of the Rings studio has increased its promotion in North America so that the film's North American The box office can break through the $500 million mark as soon as possible.

"Return of the King" once again made the cover headline of "Premier". At the end of the trilogy, the news reports were completely themed with memories and nostalgia, inspiring the audience to enter the theater again.

"Remember how you felt when you first came into contact with the movie "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" three years ago? Did you feel like you were taken into a magical world? Did you follow the Fellowship of the Ring? Seems like you've been on a long but ups and downs adventure too?"

"Whether it's the bright and serene green fields of the Shire, the mournful and yet mournful leaves of Rivendell, or the simple and elegant white towers of Minas Tirith, the kind of beauty exuded by the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy series. The worry about the world, the firmness in the victory of light over evil, and the attachment to the eternal love, all are so tempting!"

"A series of films has picked up a masterpiece, created a fan base, and left behind a film industry legend - the entire "Lord of the Rings" trilogy filming process. The details, those beautiful pictures and The scenes can make fans appreciate and comment again and again, and walk into the theater again and again without any regrets, looking forward to more fresh content. Three years later, the "Lord of the Rings" series seems to have never ended. It's as if the Fellowship of the Ring in the book is disbanded, but it's always like a team that moves forward and will never disappear from our lives!

"The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has brought us far more than the audio-visual enjoyment provided by superb technology, and it is worthy of our repeated aftertaste."

"Dream back to Middle-earth, the legend lives on!"

It's not just professional media like "Premier", this week's "Time" magazine. Also selected Duke as the cover character!

The cover features a photo of Duke sitting in front of Bag End as the background, with a particularly striking title - A Middle-earth Dream in Seven Years!

"Duke Rosenberg shares with the audience his journey of dream-making in Middle-earth over the past seven years!"

Sitting on the terrace of the villa facing the sea, Ivanka opened Time Magazine in her hand and looked at Duke dissatisfied. Duke quickly looked away from the sea and gave Ivanka a bright smile. "Honey, go on, I'm listening."

All the commentary that praised Duke is the most beautiful enjoyment for Ivanka. Her voice was not high, but there was a hint of pride.

"From the moment of preparing the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy to the final chapter of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", Duke Rosenberg and his team have experienced an incredible seven-year journey, using three The film brings Professor Tolkien's splendid Middle-earth magic to life on the screen."

"It has always been Duke Rosenberg's dream to bring his beloved works and the endless fantasies in his mind to the screen, and the Middle-earth dream created by seven years of time also has unknown entanglements behind its glorious glory. And ups and downs. It's hard to believe that every time Duke Rosenberg starts taking on a new project, the top Hollywood director gets a lot of angst."

"I've had the same nightmare every night since the first day of filming -- Duke vomited as soon as he opened his mouth in an interview in Los Angeles in early January. 'I dreamed that I was lying in bed... The crew were around the bed, waiting for me to tell them what to do. But I don't know exactly what I'm going to make the movie look like. I'm not sure, I don't think the plan is done yet, and they're all standing there waiting My command. I'm so tired, exhausted and hard to think.'"

"I kid you not, I have nightmares every night, from the first day of filming, until the day we close the screen. Then the nightmares go away. It's purgatory, but it goes away after all—though The Lord of the Rings trilogy was finally done, and it was a huge success, but Duke Rosenberg also endured countless sleepless nights."

"Now Duke can finally breathe a sigh of relief - every film is made with responsibility, because you're spending a lot of money, it's not going to be easy, you're going to be under pressure, and you're going to be responsible for this."

After reading this, Ivanka suddenly put down the magazine, leaned over and kissed Duke's face lightly, and said distressedly, "Dear..."

"It's all over, Evie." Duke grabbed her hand and kissed it, "I'm a little stressed, but it's not as exaggerated as above, it's just for publicity."

But Ivanka had been Duke's assistant and knew that the pressure he was under was actually greater than what the magazine described.

However, Duke obviously didn't want to mention it, and she didn't continue to explore, but asked Duke's words, "For publicity?"

"The box office of the film won't be a big problem." Duke stood up and walked to the fence on the edge of the patio, resting his hands on it, looking out at the boundless Pacific Ocean. "This is preparing for next year."

Ivanka understood what Duke was talking about, and came over to stand here with him, "So early to start?"

"We're already late," Duke turned his head and looked at Ivanka, "Do you know about Sophia's new movie?"

"The one with Scarlett?"

Hearing this name, Ivanka frowned slightly, then let go, "I remember it was called "Lost in Translation"?"

"Well, it's Lost in Translation." Duke said briefly, "Since the beginning of the year, Sophia has participated in various film festivals with Lost in Translation, accumulating professional reputation, targeting next year's Oscars."

Strictly speaking, the award-winning plan for "The Return of the King" has fallen behind a lot. Looking at Hollywood's award-winning films in recent years, it is not difficult to find that most of the films will spend about a year for the award. From North America When they go to major art film festivals in Europe, they will not be absent, they will try their best to shout for the film, and won a professional praise, and a large amount of public relations funds will be thrown away.

By the time the North American awards season arrives, many award-winning films have thrown millions of dollars in publicity and public relations at various film festivals.

Of course, with the Weinstein brothers in the game of fame and fortune, a million dollars isn't even a starting point for Oscar.

The Oscars are actually the same as the film industry. If you don't have enough investment, you can't expect a satisfactory return.

There were footsteps at the door of the patio, Duke turned to look, and the housekeeper Emma walked in with Nancy Josephson.

"Sit down, Nancy."

Ivanka greeted her warmly to sit down, and Emma asked someone to bring a cup of coffee.

"How's it going?" she called Duke.

"I ran into Frank Pearson at an event last week," Nancy said, adding sugar to her coffee. "He didn't say anything, but he made it clear."

Duke nodded lightly, the old men of the academy, even if they were inclined in their hearts, would not easily express their attitude to the outside world.

"The Royal Albert Company in the UK has fulfilled our order," Nancy continued. "By November, all our Lord of the Rings china will be shipped to Los Angeles. Apple has also accepted the order and will We will make a batch of players specially for us, and the cost announced by the other party will be controlled within 100 US dollars. The latest version of the DVD player from Sony Electronics has also been completed, and it is estimated that it will be delivered to you next week.”

"What about the deluxe DVD set we stamped?" Duke asked.

Nancy thought for a moment and said, "No later than the end of July, the 100,000 commemorative DVD sets will be in place."

"Well done, Nancy." Duke was still quite appreciative of her work.

"It's my job." Nancy couldn't help laughing, "I'm also very happy that my client can produce an Oscar for the best director."

"What about Warners?" he asked again.

"Warner Brothers fully supports you." Nancy Josephson made a phone call gesture. "Doug Walter said that the resources under Warner Bros. will fully cooperate with us. If you need anything, just hang up the phone."

The Weinstein Brothers are good at Chong Ao, but other companies are not bad. It’s just that the management policies of each company have created differences in Oscar Chong awards. The main business of Milan Max is the awards season and Oscar. Different companies The business route determines their different attitudes towards awarding.

The six major companies do not have an Oscar, but they still live very well. The Weinstein Brothers' films lack an Oscar, not to mention that it will definitely hit the street, and it will also reduce a considerable amount of revenue.

Therefore, the six major companies often treat the Oscars with a shallow taste, and the Weinstein brothers almost put the company's net worth on it, and it is natural to become a big winner of the Oscars in recent years. (To be continued ~^~)
