Chapter 292 Subsequent announcement

This catwalk was planned by Warner and Disney, and was linked with Victoria's Secret to perform on the Super Bowl stage.

More than 35 million viewers across the United States watched the Super Bowl. After watching the trailer and watching the Victoria's Secret Elf catwalk, they became even more excited about the film "Lord of the Rings."

Some LSP movie fans even think that they are in for a treat in the film because they heard that the elves in "Lord of the Rings" are all played by Victoria's Secret Angels.

Not just movie fans, but also book fans who protested.

Even potential competitors in the summer season are actually paying attention to the movie "Lord of the Rings."

Ridley Scott saw the trailer of this movie, and when he saw the quality of the film, he felt tight inside. But when "Lord of the Rings" was released in July, Ridley Scott was relieved.

Unlike those who have a contemptuous attitude, Ridley Scott never looked down on anyone, let alone little Gilbert.

It is said that adapting "The Lord of the Rings" is quite difficult, but as long as little Gilbert takes action, Ridley Scott feels that nothing is impossible.

Michael Ovitz is also paying attention to the movie "Lord of the Rings", and the trailer is predictably excellent.

He also believes that Gilbert Jr.'s intervention will at least ensure that the adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings" will not fail too much. And little Gilbert is so amazing, he experienced it when he was president of Disney.

"A lot of newspapers and media are pessimistic, and even a lot of insiders are skeptical." Michael Ovitz told Martin Bob: "But, I think they will all miscalculate in the end."

Martin Bob was one of those people who was not convinced by Little Gilbert. He said: "It's a pity that our "Pearl Harbor" was not released this summer, otherwise we could have given it a try."

Michael Ovitz smiled and said: "Maybe next year, but I don't know if there will be "Lord of the Rings 2"?

"Hopefully, it would be so boring without little Gilbert in the summer," Martin Bob said.

This year, International Artist Management Company is responsible for packaging several B-level films, which are not very competitive in the summer season. The focus is entirely on Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor."

However, Michael Ovitz believes that this summer's movies are still very competitive and may pose a slight threat to "The Lord of the Rings".

After the Super Bowl trailer, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" started its normal announcement rhythm.

Poster advertisements are laid offline, trailers are played on online TV stations, and new stills and some production behind-the-scenes are released on the "Lord of the Rings" homepage.

Through these means, we can continue to attract the attention of movie fans and ensure that the film maintains a certain degree of popularity.

It is worth mentioning that after the release schedule of "The Lord of the Rings" was announced, the originally scheduled release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was directly moved, and it was moved to September.

Sony Columbia Pictures' behavior of running away without a fight was ridiculed by many people.

But within Sony Columbia Pictures, they feel this is a wise decision. Little Gilbert is a summer madman, and Sony executives don't think Ang Lee can beat Little Gilbert.

Similarly, I don't think "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can beat "The Lord of the Rings", even though many people despise "The Lord of the Rings".

The sudden withdrawal of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" caught other films released at the same time by surprise, so they all followed the example of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and withdrawn it directly.

So much so that people discovered that on July 6th, only one film, "The Lord of the Rings," was released, and even the following week, only one comedy was released.

"The Lord of the Rings" has not yet been released, but it has created such power, which is amazing.

When little Gilbert, who was far away in China, heard the news, he was stunned.

Didn't you say you were not optimistic about it? What are you hiding from?

But avoiding it is actually a good thing for everyone. "Lord of the Rings" can strive for a larger film schedule.

The discussion about the Super Bowl trailer was also very lively. Many fans commented after seeing the trailer.

One fan said excitedly: "I swear to God, I didn't take my eyes away for a second and stared at the trailer the whole time."

The fans below immediately replied: "I didn't even dare to blink for fear of missing a second of the scene."

"For one second, I don't want to miss even 0.1 second of the picture."

"Oh God, that scene was really grand. Compared with the trailer of "Gladiator" and the trailer of "Lord of the Rings", it's like a village fight?"

"A village fight? Man, I thought Gladiator was kids fighting."

The thirty-second trailer has conquered movie fans, but it's not over yet.

Entering March, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" continues to release trailers, this time a one minute and thirty second trailer. The trailer display this time mainly focuses on scenery and character display.

There is also a dialogue between Aragorn and Arwen in the Elvish language, and there is also a fight scene between Arwen and Legolas.

Although this trailer is not as shocking as the Super Bowl trailer, there is a lot worth analyzing. After being attracted by the first trailer, fans were completely fascinated when they saw this trailer again.

"This beautiful scenery, is this the Shire?"

"Oh my god, did little Gilbert really build a Shire town?" "I'll tell you if I've been to China, the Shire is only a small part, there are more."

Regarding Elvish, fans who have studied the original work of "The Lord of the Rings" have a deeper understanding. They did not expect that the crew actually used Elvish to shoot this movie.

OMG, the actor actually speaks Elvish? This is unimaginable for book fans.

Based on this alone, some fans have begun to waver and begin to think that this film will achieve results they did not expect.

In other words, not only will little Gilbert not destroy this classic, he will also film the "Lord of the Rings" in their minds.

It was such a terrible idea to come up with it, but it did happen because the quality shown in the two trailers was so good.

Arwen and Legolas fully attracted boys, girls and LSPs.

The two have beautiful bodies, elegant postures, and nimble and vigorous movements. They look quite beautiful. I'm afraid no one would believe them if they were not elves.

After obtaining the rights to adapt "The Lord of the Rings", the production cost of the trilogy has reached US$3.5 million, plus US$ million in promotional expenses from Warner and Disney.

The cost of "Lord of the Rings" has exceeded that of "Titanic". Although it was divided into three parts and released, it is still the largest investment in film history.

Such a huge project would have never been possible for little Gilbert in the mid-1990s.

But now little Gilbert is very confident.

From the preparations the year before last to the filming this year, almost 10,000 people in front of and behind the scenes have devoted a lot of energy to this project, striving for excellence in every aspect and achieving the best.

Even if it is not for himself, little Gilbert cannot let more than two years of hard work of these staff go to waste, so he has a reason to succeed.

Because of this, for the sake of publicity, Gilbert Jr. also took the time to attend the Oscars to present the Best Director award.

Little Gilbert even took Anne Hathaway with him to the Oscars red carpet, continuing to attract attention.

Anne Hathaway was very nervous. This was her first time walking the Oscars red carpet. You can imagine how nervous she felt.

"Don't be nervous, Jacqueline, just treat yourself as a Hollywood superstar and just walk on the red carpet and enjoy the cheers." Little Gilbert said.

Anne Hathaway looked into little Gilbert's eyes and said, "Can I hold your hand?"

"Hold hands?" Little Gilbert was stunned. Don't you hold hands when walking on the red carpet? It seems that they do not hold hands, holding hands is a sign of a couple.

But looking at Anne Hathaway's nervous look, little Gilbert agreed.

When the two walked onto the red carpet, Anne Hathaway held Little Gilbert's hand tightly and didn't want to let go. She felt safe and less nervous.

This gave those media reporters an opportunity to take pictures, and they even shouted for Anne Hathaway and little Gilbert to pose intimately.

A reporter said to a colleague: "Sure enough, little Gilbert is infinitely charming. This actress named Anne Hathaway has probably been taken over."

Colleagues expressed doubts: "Really? So fast?"

"Are you a layman?" The reporter explained: "In Hollywood, no woman would refuse to climb into Little Gilbert's bed. You must know that this is not a bed, but an opportunity to become famous."

Just this gesture of holding hands, it is estimated that tomorrow's gossip news will make up a heart-stirring love story.

And the fact that little Gilbert is in love with the heroine of his movie is actually a good thing for "The Lord of the Rings". Little Gilbert didn't have to deny or admit it, just having such an ambiguous attitude was fine.

Let the public guess, anyway, it will continue to attract popularity to the movie.

Ever since he won the Oscar for Best Director, little Gilbert has been in a state of having no desire for the Oscar. In the future, whether he is willing to give the Oscar or not, it will not affect little Gilbert.

However, in "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", little Gilbert may still win the Oscar trophy.

But tonight's awards ceremony has nothing to do with him. Tonight's winner is "American Beauty," a film produced by DreamWorks and distributed by Universal Pictures.

Gilbert Jr. awarded the Best Director award to "American Beauty" director Sam Mendes. The film also won Best Picture, Best Actor and other awards, making it the big winner tonight.

"There's Always a Sun" directed by Little Gilbert's friend Sophia was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director, and Michael Caine won the Best Supporting Actor Award for "There's a Sun".

"Always Sunshine" also won the Best Adapted Screenplay award, and the awards were pretty good.

This film is a collaboration between Charlize Theron and Sofia, but Charlize Theron did not receive any nominations, which is a pity.

Compared to Charlize Theron, Jennifer Connelly's situation is much better. She received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her collaboration with Verona Ryder in "The Girl Who Moved."

Jennifer Connelly snatched this project away from Angelina Jolie. Fortunately, Jolie didn't come, otherwise she wouldn't look very good.

After the Oscars, there was a celebration dinner, and at the dinner, little Gilbert encountered a very magical thing. This incident eventually led to Anne Hathaway successfully moving into Cantaloupe Manor and becoming the fifth owner.
