Chapter 500： Lord of the Rings Premiere

"Hi, everyone, it's been a long time."

Quickly passing through the interview area, Ryan came to the huge poster and greeted Sean Bin, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Ian McLean and others who gathered here, "The Ring Team It's really a joy to regroup."

"Oh, congratulations, my lord." Elijah Wood deliberately gave Charlize a fairy gift to Charlize who was holding Ryan, "King Elisa and Princess Arwen finally come together." "Fiction" Chapter of the novel Fastest update

"Mr. Frodo Baggins." Charlize smiled very brightly, "Unfortunately there is no female hobbit for you now."

"I believe Andy must like Ilya very much." Orlando Bloom pulled Andy Serkins, who played Gollum, towards him. "You guys are the best partners in the movie. I remember Andy wants to eat the most. Is it baking Frodo?"

The surrounding Ryan and others laughed at the same time, which caused the nearby reporters to keep pressing the shutter.

Unlike the previous life, this world’s "Lord of the Rings" has Ryan and Charlize Theron's participation. The cast is not only huge, but also star-studded. When taking photos regularly, it does not murder many reporters.

"Peter, I have to say..."

Walking into the Hollywood Chinese Theatre, Ryan came to Peter Jackson, "You did a great job, believe me, after this series, you will become the first-line director in Hollywood."

Before the movie was released, there must be a trial meeting. He naturally saw the trial version.

Peter Jackson nodded without humility, "I think so too."

After speaking, laughed with Ryan.

Because this is the first part of the trilogy, great efforts must be spent on publicity. In addition to the US$95 million in production costs, Ryan also prepared up to US$60 million in publicity and marketing costs for this film, which is so huge. His investment naturally made Peter Jackson feel the pressure.

And after the screening, it came from the cinema and Ryan's approval. Makes these pressures relieved a lot.

Charlize was chatting with Peter’s wife, Ryan walked around in the front hall and greeted the guests attending the premiere. In order to increase the film’s appeal to fans of the original version, he even asked Tolkien’s Later generations invited to participate in the premiere.

In addition, before the movie was released, Ryan had asked the organization that managed Tolkien's copyright to re-reach a copyright understanding to prevent some clowns from coming out to make trouble after the movie went viral.

To be precise, this is a movie that belongs to men. The important female juese in the trilogy are Arwen, Iowen and Queen Galadriel.

When passing by the two Australian actresses with blonde hair, Ryan first waved to Cate Blanchett, and then when he left, he approached Naomi Watts and said in a low voice, "Thank you." .

Benefits can move people, and pure benefits may not have the upper hand in the face of benefits and friendship.

"Ryan, I heard that the whole of England is disturbed because of you?"

Finally, Ryan returned to the place where the creators of "Lord of the Rings" gathered, and Ian McLean joked casually. "So many British people protest, I hope it won't affect the box office of this movie."

"If the movie does not reach the expected box office in the UK..."

Billy Boyd from Sogra has always been an activist, and he couldn't help but come up with bad ideas, "Then let Ryan pay for it."

"Gentlemen. Manchester United fans are only a minority to the entire British film market." Ryan didn't care, waved his hand and said, "The UK is the home of the Lord of the Rings. As long as the movie is good enough, the box office is definitely not."

In order to maximize profits, this film has almost achieved simultaneous release in the United Kingdom and the United States. "The Lord of the Rings" will officially land in the Kingdom of Great Britain starting tomorrow North American time.

The adaptation of influential literary works into movies has been, is and will be one of the most important sources of Hollywood movies.

Sitting in the theater and waiting for the movie to start, Ryan naturally thought about this.

If ‘films adapted from literary works’ are divided into one category, the number of films included in this category will probably make the classification method meaningless.

As the most dynamic entertainment product, Hollywood movies have always practiced ethics, and literary works have become inexhaustible and inexhaustible sources of materials, and writers are also happy to join the film industry as a huge and unforgiving big picture. Machines provide raw materials, because the rewards are so generous. Even those high-minded people who shout that art is more important than everything, how many can resist the temptation of huge returns?

Not to mention "The Lord of the Rings" novels that have a huge influence in the West. Even the less successful literary works are favored by Hollywood. There are countless examples of novels or documentary works adapted into successful films.

But things are not that simple. Unknown novels can be deleted and changed at will, and famous books must be cautious. For example, if Hamlet and Ophelia are made to grow old, some people will definitely devalue the movie.

However, bringing literary works with a certain foundation to the big screen is undoubtedly a good way to reduce risks.

In the last few years of the previous life, what was the biggest movie sold each year? Either a comic movie, or an adaptation of a fantasy or youth novel movie.

Although these films are always criticized by so-called professional film critics, they believe that the entire world film market is degraded. The audience only understands low-level tastes, and they are the only group who really have the level of artistic appreciation.

But these people have obviously forgotten that, as a cultural and entertainment product, movies are not a seller's market for a long time. If they don't even know how to cater to the most basic needs of the audience and the market, such movies should be shot and left for their own appreciation.

Hollywood’s first priority is always business, and European films advertised as ‘art’ are just one step away from death.

Comic movies and youth idol movies can bring huge benefits. For Ryan, this is enough to make a choice.

He already has Marvel comics for the former, and he is currently experimenting with the latter. For example, Scarlett Johansson’s version of "The Princess Diaries" is currently being filmed, which is aimed directly at the consumer group of teenagers.

If the plan is successful, Disney’s experience in developing the youth market will further boost future earnings.

In fact, since the end of last year, Jenkins Pictures has been talking about the film adaptation rights of the "Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe" series, because the other party's asking price is too ridiculous and has not been negotiated.

There are several other novels that are currently in contact with authors or copyright owners, but it is indeed difficult for Jenkins Pictures to get the right to adapt.

Fortunately, the biggest disagreement is money, and there is room for discussion.

Because teenagers are the main force in the consumption of movies and peripheral products, youth idol movies are undoubtedly a weapon for making money.

What is the hottest youth idol movie in the past life? It seems to be a vampire who loves to die and a mocking bird who fights for freedom.

Forget the "Twilight" series, it is a purely female work, and the protagonist of "The Hunger Games" is also a woman...

Certain childhood memories appeared in Ryan's mind. He vaguely remembered that when the "Resident Evil" novel was released, he specially asked to go to Japan to register "Battle Royale", and he has not heard of it in these years. Relevant names and content, so that if "The Hunger Games" is released in advance, there will be no more plagiarism.

Of course, now that he is troubled with everything, he certainly doesn't have so much time. The best way is to draw up an outline and find a gunner who signs with him.

I vaguely remember that the original author seems to be Susan Collins. After the film is over, he will notify Garcia and ask him to send someone to find it.

After the novel goes public, you can hire book critics to tout it, and it will be adapted into a movie after it has a certain influence, but Jennifer Lawrence should be younger than Taylor, right?

I remember that Taylor also sang the first theme song, um... this series can perfectly match the growth of the little guy.

"My dear, you are distracted again."

Charlize Theron's reminder voice came from nearby, "The movie is about to begin."

"Some work matters." Ryan explained casually.

As the lights went out, the theater quickly restored the quietness that one should have when watching movies. After a short opening on the big screen, the first thing that appeared was a narration.

This narration about the history of the Lord of the Rings and the Middle-earth Continent comes from Queen Galadriel, who is Cate Blanchett.

"The world has changed. I feel from the water, I touch from the earth, I smell from the air, many things in the past have been lost, and now no one remembers... In the land of Mordor, In the flames of the Doom Mountain, the Dark Lord Sauron secretly created a ring of dominance to control all the other rings. In this ring, he instilled his cruelty, he The evil, and the ** that he dominates all living beings..."

"History has become a legend, and a legend has become a myth. For more than two thousand five hundred years, no one has learned of the whereabouts of the Lord of the Rings. Until the opportunity came, it tempted a new holder."

The beginning is not only an introduction to history, but also a display of the movie. One of the scenes of the battle between humans and elves in Mordor is undoubtedly quite attractive, which can attract most of the audience and continue to sit in the theater and watch it.

The beginning of a commercial movie is very important. If the beginning of the movie lacks the most basic plot that can seduce the audience to continue watching, this movie will be coldly received at the box office.

The first part can be said to be a very critical one. It is undoubtedly important to make a good start. Book fans are only a small part of the audience. For most people, especially those who have never read Tolkien's original works in non-European and American regions, please explain. The background becomes something that must be done but not easy to do.

Although the way of voiceover is very vulgar, but the war that matches the big scene is enough to lift the appetite of the audience first. (To be continued...) ()
