Chapter 223 The momentum of the return of the king
Just after Galaxy Pictures officially announced that "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" will be released on December 12th, major film companies have adjusted their film screening plans one after another, leaving nearly two weeks free for "Lord of the Rings 17" to avoid conflicts between his annual blockbuster and "Lord of the Rings 3".Everyone thought that changing a novel like "The Lord of the Rings" would be a very thankless task, but a rookie director named Peter Jackson did it. "Lord of the Rings 3" won a global box office of 1 million at a cost of 9300 million, completely igniting the upsurge of the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies.
Immediately after the following year, "The Lord of the Rings 2" once again won a global box office of 9400 million at a cost of 9 million, which made many filmmakers shout "10 billion box office is not a dream".This year's "Lord of the Rings 3" is even more highly anticipated. Anyone who has done film and television knows that no matter how bad a work is, there will be a ratings climax when it ends, let alone the "Lord of the Rings" series. work?Moreover, in order to support Peter Jackson, Galaxy Film Production Company once again took out a production cost of 9400 million, and directly shouted the slogan of "break through the 10 billion mark".
Before "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", only three movies in the world, "Titanic", "Jurassic Park" and "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" have done it.Interestingly speaking, these three movies have a lot to do with Jed. The producer of "Titanic" is Jed, and this work was still rejected by Fox and Warner; "Jurassic Park" is the work of Jed as the assistant director; "Crisis", director Lucas also admitted that the success of this film is not only the success of his own Industrial Light and Magic, but also the success of Jade Film Technology Laboratory.Today, Jed's film technology laboratory has been renamed the Digital Realm Special Effects Studio, and it is the same double wall of special effects in Hollywood as Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic Special Effects Company.But everyone knows that one of the two major shareholders of Industrial Light and Magic is Jed Sherman.It can be said that the digital field is the asset of Galaxy Film Group, while Industrial Light and Magic is Jade's private investment.It seems that it is still a family, but from the perspective of company law, monopoly can be avoided.
既然杰德和这三部票房10亿的电影关系匪浅，因此很多影迷都认为《魔戒3》将是好莱坞史上第四部进入“10亿票房俱乐部”的电影。杰德当然觊觎所谓的“10亿票房俱乐部”，要知道截止到2013年年底，全球也只有18部电影进入到这个俱乐部。而候选的9亿票房俱乐部电影也只有11部而已。可以说，截止到2013年年底，全球有史以来拿下5亿美元票房的电影也不过117部而已。而电影发展到2013年却已经走过了118年，所以就知道这个数据有多么难得了。
In the penultimate week of 2003, American theaters seemed to have entered the "quasi Lord of the Rings time", and the new works released by major film companies were all romantic comedy movies.Sony took out "Love is a Compromise" by female director Nancy Meyers; Fox's "Body Brother" by Peter Ferrari; There will be romantic comedies released, but there will definitely not be scenes where Hollywood giants come up with romantic comedies to suit the occasion.
The editor-in-chief of "Variety Show" couldn't help but sneered in the weekly magazine: "Are we celebrating Christmas or Valentine's Day? This Christmas file really disgusts me. The Christmas file that should have concentrated all the best of Hollywood in one night It's turned into a cloyingly sweet Valentine's Day! I know there's a movie called The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King coming out next week, but please don't give out the 'free card' before you've met your enemies, okay? Hollywood tycoons, what’s wrong with you? Isn’t the Galaxy Film Group a little brother in your eyes? Why are you so cowardly this Christmas?”
It's no wonder that "Variety Show" was the first to fire. After all, the Christmas season is the peak of American moviegoers. As a result, all the Christmas films in 2003 were romantic comedies, which instantly made people think that it was Valentine's Day.In fact, with the development of the American film industry, the decision to release American films has been controlled by theater companies and distribution companies.Theater companies want good films, and distribution companies want good box office. Under the compromise of both parties, there will usually be only one strong film a week, and the rest are foils.
What is frightening is that "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is not only a big red flower, but also a dazzling red sunflower, which makes other small red flowers and small green leaves as a foil a tragedy in an instant. .In order to make their big productions have a big box office, distribution companies avoided this schedule one after another.The theater company had no choice but to pinch its nose and let the distribution company turn Christmas into Valentine's Day. Anyway, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" will be released next week, and the box office will definitely be a hit.
On December 2003, 12, the flagship hall of AMC Star Theater in Los Angeles welcomed all the crew members of "The Lord of the Rings 17: The Return of the King". AMC's high-end theaters are called AMC Star Theater and AMC Emerald Theater respectively, but the general premiere activities are still placed on the Star Theater, because the two brands target different audience groups.The Star Theater is aimed at white-collar workers, young people and college students, so the price is not as expensive as the Emerald Theater.However, because various events will be held here for a long time, the price is still much more expensive than the mid-to-low-end brands of AMC Theater and AMC Mass Theater.But because it has been star-studded here for a long time, it makes the Star Theater worthy of its name, so it has become a great place to go in Los Angeles.As for the Emerald Theater located in high-end communities such as Beverly Hills, it is obvious that there is no need to follow such a popular route. The most luxurious decoration and the highest audio-visual equipment make it the first choice for the second generation of the rich or the company's first choice. It has also become a good place for private gatherings of many celebrities, Guishu.
At this time, there were already crowds of people outside the door of AMC Star Cinema Los Angeles flagship store, and the reporters who were closest to the door were naturally the spotlights flashing non-stop at this time, and the lighting engineer of the TV station even shone his own lights on the red carpet.Although Los Angeles was already terribly cold at this time, under the care of lighting engineers from several TV stations, this part of the red carpet was extremely hot.A distance from the media area is naturally movie fans. Not all movie fans can buy tickets for the premiere, and even tickets for the premiere day are hard to find.Since you can't see the movie, it's worth showing off first to go outside and watch the director and actors.What's more, Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the United States, and there are not too few boys and girls with dreams of becoming stars. The two TV giants, CBS and NBC, even dispatched news helicopters, which made ABC, FOX and WE TV networks, which only drove SNG news vans, very dissatisfied.When other news stations knew that ABC and other three stations were jealous of NBC and CBS, they felt panic acid in their hearts, "You still have SNG live broadcast trucks, how about us? A reporter or a cameraman who is on camera is also here. gone?"
The only reason why the Los Angeles local media gathered together, and even some national media based in cities not in Los Angeles also rushed to attend the premiere is that Mr. Jed Sherman, who is known as the "Hollywood future tycoon", is very likely to be in The premiere announced his comeback.It was known that this Mr. Sherman had taken a year off due to recovery from heart surgery.Of course, some media think that he has no rest at all, isn't he busy developing Dubai and Maldives?By the way, the California government was also sued to the federal court. According to the current progress, it is very likely that the lawsuit will be sent to the Federal Supreme Court in the next three years.
Of course, this guy who was obviously sick and still recovering went to visit China just after the World Health Organization lifted the SARS alert in China and started large-scale investment.And what makes many people envious is that he actually formed a joint venture with a Chinese real estate company. The two parties announced that they will build about 1000 theaters in mainland China in the next ten years. For low-end theaters, this plan will most likely give birth to the No. [-] theater chain in China and the largest theater chain in Asia.
In connection with the relationship between Jade and AMC Cinemas, it is not ruled out that the world's number one cinema company will be born in the hands of this future Hollywood tycoon.Of course, what attracts the most attention is, what kind of works will Jed Sherman bring to everyone after paying?In addition to the known "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", it is said that Jed also has a script for a disaster movie.When it comes to disaster movies, many people think of Jade's "Peerless Catastrophe".Although this movie was not favored by film critics back then, many fans were attracted by the imaginative and impactful scenes.
Hearing that Jed was about to start making a disaster film, fans of the genre applauded, arguing that Jed was the most imaginative and destructive director on the planet.Some fans even chanted, "Even if Sherman really blows up Washington, it doesn't matter, I love his movies!"
Jennifer, a reporter for "Seventeen O'Clock Entertainment" of WE Los Angeles, was told that she had been assigned three rights to ask questions, and she had the opportunity to interview Jed.The opportunity to interview Jed is the prize that all journalists dream of. You must know that now Jed generally only accepts interviews with the ace news programs of the five major TV networks or the columns of the first-line newspapers in the world.No matter what, Jennifer's program is not qualified enough, but this time it has a geographical advantage, and the WE TV network is Jed's industry, so Jennifer was hit like a pie in the sky.Jennifer kept roaring in her heart, "You can't go wrong, you will be the number one reporter in the United States tomorrow! It's a success, and the anchor station of the [-] o'clock news in the evening is waving to me!"
Just when Jennifer was thinking wildly, Jade appeared in front of her, and she immediately asked: "Mr. Sherman, we want to know how your recovery is going? Will there be any new works for you next year? "
Jed smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern. My body has been diagnosed by the doctor as fully recovered! As for next year's work plan, I will bring you two summer movies. I hope everyone will join us. "
"Mr. Sherman, what are your box office expectations for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King?"
"Isn't everyone shouting $10 billion? I also hope to enter the $10 billion club."
"What about your own work? When do you hope to make a film like this?"
"Let's go with fate? I think some of my movies will enter the 10 billion club in the future. You have to keep it a secret for me!"
