Chapter 303: Split among "Lord of the Rings" fans
As Little Gilbert took the crew and creators to the stage for the curtain call, Noel glanced at his watch and found that three hours had passed.

He was a little surprised. He was completely immersed in the movie just now and didn't feel the passage of time at all.

This shows that there is indeed nothing wrong with the film, and time passes so unconsciously that he doesn't notice it and doesn't find the film boring at all.

Only now did Noel realize that he had held back his urine and wanted to go to the bathroom.

But he couldn't bear it, because there would be an interactive session later and he didn't want to miss it.

In fact, many movie fans have discovered that the film duration of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is longer than ordinary films. But some fans feel that it’s not long enough because they haven’t seen enough.

After calling for a sequel to "The Two Towers," applause gradually erupted in the auditorium, then gathered into a torrent of applause.

Little Gilbert took the cast and crew to take five consecutive curtain calls. After almost three or four minutes, the applause gradually stopped.

The most important thing is that this kind of applause is not commercial flattery, it is sincere and spontaneous from movie fans. The super high quality of the video completely conquered everyone present.

Elijah Wood saw his parents in the crowd, and they proudly gave him a thumbs up, which made Elijah Wood very happy.

"We've done a fantastic film, Billy." Sir Ian McKellen was in good mood.

He had already made psychological preparations, after all, the film had achieved great success in its previous life. If the film fails now, it only means it's his fault.

But after the applause ended, fans' voices continued to coalesce into one voice, shouting "The Two Towers."

Russell urged: "Buck up, let's shout slogans and start protesting."

The premiere started at four o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet ceremony lasted for more than fifty minutes, and the movie started at almost 4:55.

As he spoke, some excited movie fans even threw mineral water bottles at these protesters. A conflict was about to break out between the two sides, but luckily the police were still there.

However, the fans were reluctant to leave for a long time, and the final interactive session lasted for more than an hour before the fans finally dispersed reluctantly.

"You still protest against such a good movie. Do you have any conscience?"

In comparison, little Gilbert seemed much calmer.

No, what do you mean? Aren't these the things they should say? Shouldn't these actions be what they, the protesters, should do?
Why? Why?
Many media outlets recorded this scene, with the title and content carefully thought out.

Russell glared at the man and said, "Are you an idiot? If something happened in the theater, the police guarding the door would have rushed in long ago."

Judging from the quality of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", even Ridley Scott himself is beginning to look forward to the sequel.

"I'm going to report you, a bunch of Shets."

But looking at what's going on now, it's clear that the film was a hit.

The protester touched his head and said sheepishly, "That's right!"

Fans were asked to clash with protesters in order to protect "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." The quality of the film conquered the fans.

Working with Little Gilbert on "Lord of the Rings" was the best decision of his film career, bar none. Gandalf will become his most iconic character, bar none.

After waiting for a while, the premiere that seemed long to them was finally over, and the audience finally came out of the theater.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and little Gilbert could tell that Ridley Scott was telling the truth.

As a result, before the protestors started to protest, the audience who came out of the theater were unhappy: "Fake Squid, you idiots..."

Billy Boyd even held his head and shouted: "Oh God, I can't believe it, I can't imagine it. What have we done, what have we done?"

"???" Russell looked at the fans attacking them, with a bunch of question marks popping up in his head.

One protester also speculated: "Russell, is the movie too ugly and something happened in the theater?"

Ridley Scott was completely impressed. He had never seen a situation where the audience couldn't wait to shout for a sequel as soon as a movie ended.

Orlando Bloom and Anne Hathaway looked at the fans in the audience who were screaming crazily for them, and the feeling of satisfaction that arose spontaneously in their hearts is simply difficult to describe in words.

Reporters held up cameras and microphones and wanted to go up for interviews. According to pre-arranged procedures, the main creators also had to interact with fans and guests.

As the leader of the protest, Russell was dizzy with hunger.

If they could, they would like to keep celebrating and celebrate this event for movie lovers.

By the time the movie ended, it was almost eight o'clock.

"Thank you, Uncle Scott, for your compliment." Little Gilbert said politely.

"Yes……"

At this time, because the protest lasted too long, many people could not hold on and ran away one after another. There were still about 400 people who continued to protest.

Each actor realized that this "Lord of the Rings" movie, and the two future "Lord of the Rings" movies, would make them the most talked about Hollywood stars for the next three years.

There are so many things to watch at this premiere, and there are so many angles to cover.

Hudgens and Noel walked out of the cinema. The lights were on outside, lighting up the whole city. At this time, he also saw thousands of "Lord of the Rings" fans protesting outside.

This summer, the most lively and popular movie shows an unusual temperament from the very beginning.

In the theater, little Gilbert was still socializing with celebrity guests, and Anne Hathaway was by his side.

The Los Angeles police officers who were paid to do things were reliable and did not allow conflicts to occur.

"Little Gilbert, you did an amazing job." Ridley Scott praised.

Logically speaking, the movie premiere should have ended long ago, but they waited at the door for more than four hours and didn't see anyone coming out of the theater door.

"No," Ridley Scott waved his hand and said, "I'm not polite. I'm telling the truth. Fortunately, my "Gladiator" didn't come across this movie, otherwise I would have been very unlucky."

After that, Gilbert Jr. chatted with DiCaprio and Matt Damon.

DiCaprio's expression was exaggerated: "Oh my god, little Gilbert, I regret so much that I didn't try to play Legolas."

Little Gilbert smiled and said: "Leo, if you are willing to play Legolas, I will definitely choose you, and you don't need to audition."

"Then forget it, it's all over now." Xiao Lizi shrugged.

Since "Titanic", Leo has nothing to pursue in commercial films, unless the script is excellent and can really impress him.

Now it seems that Xiao Lizi is about to embark on the path of becoming a prize-hunting madman.

He recently collaborated happily with Martin Scorsese in "Gangs of New York" and is on the verge of becoming the old Martin's go-to actor.

The situation on Matt Damon's side was different. Little Gilbert asked: "Matt, I heard that you took on a spy movie called "The Bourne Supremacy"?"

"Yes," Matt Damon said: "I thought the script was very interesting and different from ordinary spy movies, so I took the film."

Little Gilbert patted Matt Damon on the shoulder and said: "Yes, I am optimistic about "The Bourne Supremacy". Jason Bourne will become a classic agent image."

After chatting with the two rising Hollywood stars, Gilbert Jr. chatted with Tom Cruise and his wife. "Hi! Tom, Mary..." Little Gilbert said hello to the two of them, and made a joke: "I heard from the costume designer that our crew lost an Elf Queen costume?"

Nicole Kidman blushed for a rare moment. That dress was so beautiful that she took it away.

However, little Gilbert did not dwell on this issue. He asked Tom Cruise: "Tom, what do you think of the movie?"

Tom Cruise expressed his amazement: "I have to say, little Gilbert, this is the best movie I have ever seen. Only you can successfully bring what is known as the most difficult movie to adapt to the big screen.

I heard there were still protests outside. I think they might be disappointed. The film will be a huge success. "

Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows and asked his assistant Anna: "Are the protestors still there?"

"Yes," Anna replied: "The fans are confronting them now, but the police maintained order very well and no conflict broke out."

"We have been protesting for so long, so we should be hungry. We have prepared a lot of snacks for the premiere and arranged for people to deliver them to the protesters." Little Gilbert ordered.

Ana nodded in agreement and went down to arrange for someone to do it.

Tom Cruise smiled and said: "Little Gilbert, you are such a good man, and I think those protesters will also be grateful to you."

Little Gilbert smiled, this was just done casually, it's up to them whether they appreciate it or not.

Soon, under Anna's arrangement, the premiere staff brought snacks and drinks to the protesters.

The protesters looked at each other, not knowing whether to pick up or not, so they turned their attention to Russell, the leader.

Russell originally wanted to be tough, but his stomach was growling, and Hutchinson and Noel appeared and stuffed a burger into his mouth.

Now that the leader had eaten, the remaining protesters were no longer burdened and started gobbling up their food.

We have been protesting for a day and have not eaten anything except drinking some water. Everyone is starving.

Hutchinson and Noel looked at the tired book fans and said to Russell: "Let's go!"

"Why?" Russell's eyes widened, expressing confusion.

Hutchinson explained: "We all watched the film, Russell, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. On the contrary, the film was great, outstanding."

"Yes," Noel agreed: "Russell, I think we are all wrong. The "Lord of the Rings" movie deserves to be respected. The midnight show is coming soon, you can go and see it for yourself."

Russell has a hot temper and gets angry after hearing what the two say.

He threw the burger to the ground, pointed at their noses and said: "You have betrayed "The Lord of the Rings" and Mr. Tolkien.

In this world, there should be no "Lord of the Rings" movie, it would be impossible. "

"Russell!" As the president of the book fan club, Noel is still very authoritative. He said in a slightly more serious tone: "I am trying to advise you, the film is really great, don't be biased."

"Yeah, I was originally worried that little Gilbert would ruin the original work." Hutchinson also persuaded: "But no, his adaptation is really great, even more exciting than the original work."

Hutchinson emphasized again: "This movie turns our fantasies into reality."

"I will not give up my protest," Russell said emotionally: "As fans of the "Lord of the Rings" books, we should reject any form of adaptation."

The arguments between the three leaders inevitably reached the ears of the surrounding protesters who were filling their bellies.

Seeing that things had developed to this extent, Noel had no choice but to loudly say to all the protesters: "Sorry everyone, I originally thought that this movie would ruin the original "Lord of the Rings".

But Hutchinson and I went to see it together, and we found that far from ruining the original work, the film actually embodied the extraordinary charm of "The Lord of the Rings."

Hutchinson and I will officially withdraw from the protest, sorry everyone. "

After saying that, Noel and Hutchinson left the protesting crowd and planned to go to the midnight show again. However, they soon discovered that all the tickets for the midnight screenings in nearby movie theaters had been sold out.

Not a single ticket was available, and even the seats in bad locations were all sold out.

The protesters looked at each other in confusion. Noel and Hutchinson are considered the leaders of the North American "Lord of the Rings" fan club, and they are also the largest organizers of protests in North America.

Now the two men have withdrawn from the protest, leaving protesters present confused.

"Maybe the movie is really good?" a book fan said.

"Yeah, how about we go take a look. If it's bad, it's not too late to come back and protest."

"Let's go to the midnight show..."

As one protester left, many protesters followed.

Russell looked livid, and one protester asked, "Russell, what do we do?"

"Huh, I won't give up and continue to protest," Russell said.

"But is there any point in continuing to protest now? We are already falling apart," the protester said.

"I made it very clear, I will continue to protest." When Russell said this, even he felt a little weak.

Yes, the protest team has fallen apart. Is there any point in continuing to protest? Russell doesn't know.

At this moment, he was like a moral defender, insisting on the meaningless ideal in his heart.

The protesting crowd, watching movie fans, and media reporters gradually dispersed.

As the premiere ended and fans went their separate ways, fans in major cities across the United States were already getting ready.

Movie tickets in theaters in bustling neighborhoods are sold out, and even some slightly remote theaters are almost impossible to get tickets for.

Chicago is even more weird. Generally speaking, the security in the city of sin is not very good at night. But tonight in Chicago, the streets are surprisingly quiet at night, with no gangs or black gangsters.

The reason is simple. These gangsters all went to the cinema to watch Little Gilbert's movie.

Little Gilbert's movies can conquer unruly gangsters, which shows that the movies are indeed great.

San Carlo Cinema in New York is located around Times Square, near the most luxurious commercial district. At this time, there was a sea of ​​people here, and the cinema hall was almost packed with movie fans coming and going.

"I want two movie tickets..."

"I want three, connected together..."

Movie fans crowded at the ticket window and kept urging the ticket sellers to buy their favorite movie tickets.

The theater manager was very excited when he saw this hot scene. Every year, Little Gilbert's movies are the profit focus of theaters, and this year is no exception.

In the peripheral store of the San Carlo Cinema, the shelves are already full of peripheral products related to "The Lord of the Rings", waiting for movie fans to buy.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" will achieve a double harvest at the box office and peripherals.
