Chapter 313 Smoke filled the air
After this, Robert Court, who held more than 200 million US dollars in funds, disappeared from Hollywood overnight.

For a moment, many production companies and producers were dumbfounded and quickly called the police and asked Fobler to investigate the case.

But Robert Court carefully planned the scam and had long since fled North America to no one knows where.

Many victims cried and cried, but they never got their money back.

This incident was highly hyped and made headlines in mainstream media around the world, reporting repeatedly for more than a week.

Therefore, the Napoleon biopic project became a taboo in Hollywood during this period, and Nolan never mentioned it again.

In fact, similar things have happened in Hollywood before. Although there are lessons learned from the past, people are greedy and scammers are very clever, so people are fooled every time.

When Liv Tyler came to Melon Manor to stay for a few days, she told little Gilbert: "I met that Robert Court, and I didn't see that he was a liar at the time.

He really looked like a nobleman and pursued Mary fiercely. "

This Mary is not Nicole Kidman, but Jessica Alba. The standard of naming for Westerners is to go back and forth between those names. Sometimes the same name is normal.

In order to avoid colliding with "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", the film was moved to the end of June, avoiding "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" for nearly two months.

"No!" Liv Tyler said matter-of-factly: "How could I make her agree? I am also planning to develop her into my sister and form your lover group!"

Little Gilbert instantly rolled his eyes: "You are enough for me, but I have no interest in messing with others."

"..." Little Gilbert immediately transformed into a beast and launched a fierce attack on the high ground...

He said: "It seems that Mary is very lucky that you stopped her, otherwise she would have been deceived by Robert Court at this time."

Little Gilbert suddenly asked curiously: "Then has she agreed to pursue her?"

Therefore, little Gilbert has enough trust in Nolan, and "Insomnia" quickly passed the project review of Melon Studio. It depends on when Nolan will start filming.

As soon as he ran away, many female stars rushed to the hospital to check their health. Some of them were already infected with HIV.

At the same time, Nolan's brother Jonathan Nolan also joined Melon Studio and became one of the studio's screenwriters.

"That's the best," Liv Tyler straddled herself and sat on little Gilbert's lap: "Dear brother, hurry up, I can't wait any longer..."

Although Nolan no longer mentioned Napoleon, he immediately fell in love with another script called "Insomnia."

For James Gunn, the two subsequent parts of "The Matrix" have completed post-production, and the second "The Matrix: Reloaded" will be released in the summer of 2001.

After Robert Court ran away and the incident was revealed, those who were deceived could not find the culprit and would definitely vent their anger on Jessica Alba.

All summer movies are waiting for the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers". After the film's release date is announced, other films will be scheduled.

"Memento" took in a box office of US$3025 million in North America, which is considered a profit considering the film's investment of only US$ million.

"Shrek" produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios is scheduled to be released on May 11, a week after "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers".

It can be said that once things become like this, Jessica Alba's journey to Hollywood stardom will end here.

Liv Tyler has always talked crazy, and little Gilbert is used to it.

Liv Tyler also mysteriously told little Gilbert: "I heard that Robert Court had HIV and had sex with many female stars during this period.

If you mess with them, be careful not to get infected. "

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" has announced its schedule very early. This time there is ample time. The film will be released on May 5, the beginning of the summer season, to try to spread the popularity of the film throughout the summer season.

The audience for animated movies and "The Lord of the Rings" are quite different, so there is no need to avoid "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" too far.

"Pearl Harbor" is running very fast and has already been released at the end of May. It seems that Martin Bob has finally nailed Michael Bay.

According to an insider, Martin Bob's exact words to Michael Bay were: "We need to stay as far away from that summer lunatic as possible."

Although Michael Bay was reluctant, he had to back down after seeing such a fierce battle in the first part of "Lord of the Rings".

Other movies have also been scheduled for release in the summer, such as "Tomb Raider", "Jurassic Park 3", "Planet of the Apes" and other films.

It is worth mentioning that Spielberg did not direct "Jurassic Park 3".

"Artificial Intelligence" directed by himself was also released this summer, so he only served as the producer of "Jurassic Park 3".

The bustling and glorious year 2000 has passed, and people have ushered in the second year of the new century.

"Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" completed post-production before February. Little Gilbert knew all the effects of the film, so the post-production work was completed very quickly.

Disney and Warner are not idle either. They are publicizing the Oscars to ensure that the film gets enough nominations. At the Oscar nomination luncheon, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" received eleven nominations in one fell swoop, making it a huge success. But that’s it for the Oscar work, and I won’t do too much public relations in the future.

If you think about it, you will know that Oscar cannot give so many awards to the first part of the series. Otherwise, what will happen to the next two parts?
At the same time, media owned by Disney and Warner began to build momentum for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", not to expand the scale of screenings, but to promote the upcoming DVD release.

The DVD version released this time includes a regular version and a deluxe version. The regular version is priced at US$19.9 and includes an extended version of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and more than minutes of behind-the-scenes content.

The deluxe version, priced at US$39.9, includes the above content as well as more than minutes of interviews with directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes production staff.

But most importantly, there is a three-minute trailer for "The Two Towers" on the DVD, which includes the Battle of Helm's Deep specially edited by Gilbert Jr.

This is undoubtedly the most eye-catching part of the movie fans. Avid "Lord of the Rings" book and movie fans snapped up the DVD the same week it was released.

Major sales outlets and cities are even out of stock.

Little Gilbert also cooperated with Amazon for the first time to conduct online DVD sales. As a result, the Amazon website was directly overwhelmed by crazy movie fans that day.

After fans complained for almost four hours, Amazon's website gradually recovered.

Popular movies have brought about hot peripheral sales, including DVDs. This is the experience summed up in the past market.

In the first week of DVD release, the regular version sold 610 million units, and the deluxe edition DVD also sold 115 million units, bringing the DVD sales to more than million US dollars in the first week.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" inevitably broke the record again. This is the highest weekly sales since the movie's video DVD was released.

By the time the Oscars came around, "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" had sold more than 12 million copies worldwide.

The DVD brought in more than $100 million in profits for all investors, net of distribution costs.

With such strong commercial profitability, no wonder many companies are jealous. The sales volume of this bank robbery is not as efficient as the profit-making efficiency of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".

Not only that, Warner's HBO TV network bought the first-round North American TV broadcast rights of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" for a sky-high price of US$2500 million.

At the Oscars, as expected, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" only won a few technical awards and nothing else.

But this is normal. Little Gilbert also served as the award guest for the Best Actress and awarded the Best Actress to Julia Robert. She won the Best Actress for "Never Compromise".

The Chinese Legion tonight is very eye-catching. Michelle Yeoh and Yunfa on Monday presented the Best Visual Effects Award to Orange Studio, the special effects producer of "The Lord of the Rings".

Only a few years after its establishment, Orange Studio has already won this award twice and has become a top special effects company in Hollywood.

As expected, the best foreign language film went to Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." The film was a huge success, not only exceeding $100 million at the North American box office, but also winning the Best Foreign Language Film award.

One can imagine how shocked the filmmakers there would be when this news spread to the other side of the Pacific.

In the future, there will be an endless stream of Chinese-language costume blockbusters, but who can really get international recognition and Oscar recognition will have to work hard.

The Oscars in this era are still the highest palace in the film industry and one of the most famous film awards in the world.

If it could win an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film here, the effect would be much stronger than the grand prizes at the three major European film festivals.

Although European filmmakers are unwilling to admit it, as Hollywood's influence grows, the Oscars have actually become the most coveted stage for filmmakers around the world.

After the Oscars, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" expanded its screening scale again, from less than a hundred to more than a thousand.

After harvesting the last enthusiasm of movie fans, the film was finally released on the first weekend of April, and the North American box office was finally settled at US$5.17 million.

The global box office has also reached the level of 12.69 billion US dollars, but the film has gradually declined in the global film market, and in the end the global box office is almost at this level.

But in fact, the fact that "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" broke one billion dollars is not the most shocking thing, but the little wizard.

Although "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released a few months later than "The Lord of the Rings", it will be released on the same date as "The Lord of the Rings".

The film's global box office has reached a cumulative US$10.12 billion, which can be described as a great success.

With these two films that have exceeded one billion dollars worldwide, Melon Studios has once again become famous in Hollywood and has become one of the most prestigious studios in Hollywood.

Moreover, Melon Studios will not only have "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Wizard" this year, but also "The Fast and the Furious", and the "Matrix" series of films will be released in the future.

Such strong commercial profitability has made many Hollywood companies very interested and want to snatch Melon Studio away from Disney and Warner.

But after so many years of contact, Gilbert Jr. has always been happy to cooperate with the two companies and has no idea of ​​changing partners.

This does not prevent Gilbert Jr. from using other companies to put some pressure on Disney and Warner, because the acquisition of Melon Studios by the two companies has entered a critical stage.

In order to strive for favorable conditions, little Gilbert will pull the tiger skins of other companies to fight for the banner.
