Chapter 584： We want to keep it secret

The broadcast of the talk show has played a role in propaganda to a certain extent. Regardless of whether the capital is official or private, the pursuit of profit is a natural commonality. China Film Group has also been building momentum for the film. Although the box office has declined in the next two weeks, it is basically Stabilized about 20 million yuan.

However, the tour of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" in China's theaters is over. Whether the film can continue to be released is not a decision by the market.

As an imported film from Hollywood, it is almost impossible to obtain a postponed ‘secret key’ for a certain game. Four weeks after the release of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", it was completely off-stage from the Chinese theaters.

Even if it was only released for less than a month, the movie still got 120 million yuan in the box office in China. Although it was less than 20 million yuan converted into U.S. dollars, it still has the number of screens and audiences today. Under the constraints of other conditions, such a result is very good.

If it can be extended, the film breaking 200 million won't be a problem at all.

Although he can only get 20% of the share, Ryan is still very satisfied with this trip to China. This is just the beginning. The Chinese market has not yet reached the stage for power, and he and Disney have already determined some Advantage.

Moreover, the hot release of movies such as "Hero" and "The Lord of the Rings" has also made the capital here pay attention to the theater market. According to the news from Disney's Far East branch, there are many Chinese groups that are preparing to enter the theater industry in the near future. .

When "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" was released, it was hard to find a ticket during prime time in some major cities. Only with enough screens will there be a market for movies.

Compared to the Chinese market, which has just entered a stage of rapid development, North America is still the most important ticket warehouse for Hollywood.

After the first two weeks of its popularity, the film inevitably entered a rapid cooling phase. The box office in the third week plummeted to 45.2 million U.S. dollars.

By the fourth week, as other movies were released one after another, the number of theaters dropped to more than 2,700. The single-library box office in a single week also fell below 10,000 U.S. dollars, and the box office figure for the new week stayed above 24.79 million U.S. dollars.

In less than a month, the North American box office of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" reached a total of 270 million US dollars, showing the momentum of the annual box office champion.

At the same time, the film has gradually entered the end of the screening period in overseas regions where the film was released simultaneously, and the box office growth has slowed down. However, the film has earned more than 700 million yuan from the world in one month. The US dollar box office almost caught up with the more than 800 million US dollars of last year's world box office champion "Spider-Man".

Some new overseas regions. For example, Russia and the Arab world have joined the ranks of screenings. These are new growth points for the box office. According to the forecasts of several professional organizations, the global box office of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" broke one billion U.S. dollars at all. .

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy series has led the trend of world movie magical epics, and many people have become beneficiaries of it.

For example, the trusteeship of Tolkien's works and his descendants received considerable copyright fees and shares from them; for example, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom, with this series, have become Hollywood first-line niches. It can be described as fame and fortune; For example, Andy Serkins, although he hardly showed his true colors in the movie, he has portrayed the greatest motion capture character Gollum, and he can be called a leader in this industry...

And the two people who benefited the most. It must be Ryan and Peter Jackson.

Needless to say, Ryan, although the role in "The Lord of the Rings" is nothing but icing on the cake for him, he has received a huge amount of money in return.

New Zealand fat man Peter Jackson, after the third movie was released. He has become one of the most watched directors in Hollywood in the new century. Not to mention that the trilogy has a total of 10 million US dollars and a 5% box office share, it is only in the mouth of the media. He is almost a super director who can stand alongside James Cameron and Steven Spielberg.

Peter Jackson can be said to be so beautiful now, and even many professional media believe that he will be one of the most powerful contenders for the best director of the Oscar next year.

Of course, Ryan knows where Peter Jackson’s flaws are. Although the Silmarillion is still in his hands, he does not intend to release it immediately. Let the big fat man continue to harm Universal Pictures without experiencing a major failure. , How could his swelling heart converge?

He has heard that this crazy Lord of the Rings fan and King Kong fan is contacting Universal Pictures, intending to bring the world's most famous characters back to the screen.

Hmm...maybe I can recommend a heroine to him. The two sides have been happily working together on "The Lord of the Rings", and I must definitely think about it.

"Hey, hello, hello, my dear brother Ryan!"

Taylor's voice came from the side, "Are you here to help, or to make trouble, do you want to break Nat's favorite vase?"

Holding an abstract vase, Ryan quickly recovered from his random thoughts, turned his head and blinked at Taylor, and walked into the living room of the villa.

This is Natalie’s North Hollywood villa, which occupies approximately two acres. After graduating from Harvard, she handled some private affairs in New York, and officially moved to Los Angeles, with Scarlett, who had moved out of the house a long time ago. Johnson became a neighbor.

"Nate, where do you put this?"

Walking to Natalie, who was acting as the conductor in the center of the living room, Ryan clicked on the large vase he was holding with his chin.

"Place it at the door." Natalie pointed to the other side, and after Ryan put it down, she shouted to Scarlett who had come down from the stairs, "Scarlett, help clean up the lilies that Taylor brought. Our work today is complete."

"Okay, I will go now."

The blonde girl ran out of the villa, and it didn't take long for Taylor to walk in each holding a large bouquet of flowers, and put them in the vases Ryan had placed.

"Oh, finally finishing up."

Tyler walked to the sofa and slumped on the high backrest. "Nate's new home is very beautiful."

She turned her head and looked at Scarlett sitting on the solo sofa, "Much better than your taste."

"Alison!" Scarlett bared her teeth, threw away the sweat-wiping towel, and continued, "If you don't speak, no one treats you as an egg!"

"Have you seen me such a beautiful egg?" The little girl almost jumped up, rushed to Scarlett's side, and made a mess, "Speaking of which, you are more like an egg, and it's chubby, touching It feels great!"

As she said, she pressed her hand on Scarlett's chest and pinched two of them, "Wow, Scarlett, you are getting bigger again!"

"Do you think every girl is like you?" Scarlett retaliated unceremoniously. "I'll be fourteen soon, and it's the airport!"

"Hey! You little fat girl..." This almost directly hit the girl's pain point, and Taylor almost jumped up again.

Natalie looked this way, Ryan gave her a wink, and the Long Island girl walked over and pulled away the two girls who were hugging each other, "Okay, Scarlett, Alison, what do you want to do? "

"Nothing..." Tyler stuck out his tongue, raised his nose at Scarlett, walked to Ryan's side and sat on the couch.

The two girls have been used to fighting since they were young, and Ryan didn't care and tidied up her scattered blonde hair. "My dear, you are a big girl now, but you are still so naughty."

"She will always be a little kid who grows up." Scarlett sorted out her t-shirt and said to this side, "Especially in front of you, Ryan."

"It's not a grin." Tyler held Ryan's arm and turned his head to the other side.

She has obviously entered a period of rapid development. During this period of time, she has been growing taller, completely surpassing Scarlett and Natalie, but in front of people close to her, she still looks like a rascal...

Out of the wealthy area where Natalie and Scarlett lived, Ryan and his party came to an Italian restaurant near Laurel Valley Boulevard.

There were not many people in the restaurant. Ryan found a quiet seat next to the window. After a few girls ordered food, they sat together and chatted and ate.

"Cheers for Nat to move to Los Angeles!"

Although the cups were full of juice, everyone's cups still touched after Ryan suggested.

"Cheers for Scarlett to win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival!" After everyone was filled with juice, Natalie proposed again.

"Yes, to Scarlett, cheers!" Taylor quickly agreed.

"Thank you!"

After clinking the glasses, Scarlett Johansson turned here deliberately, "Thank you, Ryan."

"You're welcome." Ryan smiled, "We are friends, we should help each other, besides, this kind of opportunity is rare."

Judy Foster is the chairman of the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Public relations are a little easier, but Sophia Coppola lost the Palme d’Or.

"Lost in Tokyo" has a total of 8 million dollars in investment A considerable part of it comes from Ryan, even if it is for later profit, he will find a way to gild this film.

"What are your plans for shooting next?"

While eating a fairly authentic Italian meal, Natalie asked Ryan.

"If you want to adapt a movie, it may take longer." Ryan put down the tableware, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth. "The film adapted from the declassified Iranian hostage incident is now being negotiated with the CIA to get it as soon as possible. To the authorization. What about you, Nat? You are now graduated, do you have any plans?"

"Receive a movie of interest." Natalie looked at the two girls who were muttering opposite, and turned her energy back to Ryan, "Then continue to learn about directors, only to embark on this road. I realized that it’s really not easy."

She smiled at Ryan, "How can it be possible if you don't work hard if you want to make achievements? I and Scarlett are planning to shoot an experimental movie."

"Confidentiality?" Ryan asked.

"Well, confidentiality!" Scarlett on the opposite side answered first. (To be continued...) ()
