Chapter 325 "The Two Towers" sweeps across Europe

Chapter 325 "The Two Towers" sweeps across Europe

Movies like "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" are the center of attention wherever they go.

During the road show, Little Gilbert also took the crew to several well-known talk shows in North America to promote the film.

Of course, "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will not miss such hot spots. They have invited little Gilbert to their show many times and even dug into the story behind little Gilbert's growth.

To this end, the program team even plans to invite Naomi Watts, Cameron Diaz and others to the show, and also plans to invite Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gilbert Jr. himself declined, as did Naomi Watts and Cameron Diaz, among others.

Gwyneth Paltrow is more difficult to handle. Difficulty refers to the fact that for the show crew, this princess-sick woman is too difficult to handle.

It is said that when the show team went to invite, it happened that Gwyneth Paltrow was in a bad temper, and she scolded the show team.

Then he publicly stated in front of the media: "Even if I die and rot in a stinking ditch, I will not appear on this show."

Then he criticized Oprah Winfrey as worthless, thinking that Oprah Winfrey was hyping up the show and using the sad past of the guests to gain popularity.

Although she was eventually pulled down, she had become the center of attention, attracted much attention, and was envied and envied by many people.

For this reason, Orlando was injured many times before giving a wonderful performance to the fans. "

After finally being pulled away by the security, this crazy female audience member still shouted: "Ahhhh! Legolas, I love you..."

Knowing what these audiences like to watch, little Gilbert easily pulled Orlando Bloom over.

To a certain extent, Gwyneth Paltrow is right. It's just that Oprah didn't expect her princess's illness to be so serious, so she suffered a terrible loss.

Although older housewives are not the audience for Little Gilbert's movies, young girls and working women are.

On this show, little Gilbert had a pleasant conversation with the fat host.

Therefore, not being on the show will not have much effect on little Gilbert, but it will make Oprah win his popularity.

Mainly, the audience of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is basically older housewives, and this group of people is not the audience for Little Gilbert's movie.

Gilbert Jr. said: "When selecting Orlando Bloom, of course, first of all, his image and temperament match, and Orlando works really hard.

This trick was indeed very effective. The Elf Prince appeared, making the female audience unable to control themselves. A female audience member broke through the blockade, ran directly onto the stage, hugged Orlando Bloom and gave him a forced kiss.

The reason for the refusal was quite simple. It was not because he was afraid that Oprah would dig up his sad past. Unless Oprah knows that little Gilbert is born again, little Gilbert has nothing to fear.

"The Oprah Winfrey Show" had invited Gilbert Jr. several times before, but he was rejected by Gilbert Jr.

I didn’t know at the time why Director Gilbert Jr. chose me. I was really surprised and very grateful to him. "

Now I want to touch her, no way...

Orlando Bloom talked about the feeling of starring in the "Lord of the Rings" series on the show: "It was incredible, it was quite a dream journey for me.

Oprah Winfrey can't quarrel with Gwyneth Paltrow, right? That's too low-priced and loses one's status.

Legolas has a lot of action scenes, which are very difficult, but Orlando almost doesn't need a stand-in and does many of the actions himself.

Orlando Bloom has calmed down about this scene. He has already experienced it, and now he has gradually gained the temperament of a star. He is no longer the little actor he was at the beginning.

The audience exclaimed for a while, and then felt distressed.

So little Gilbert appeared on another talk show about the lives of young women, hosted by a cute fat guy who was a big fan of Tom Cruise.

Brother, you are working so hard, I want to cry to death...

After this episode was aired, it became the highest-rated episode in the history of this talk show and became very popular across the United States.

After its second week in North America, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" also ushered in its first weekend overseas.

This time Warner's announcement is even more powerful. A total of 33 countries and regions, including the UK, France and Germany, will release the movie simultaneously this week.

The popularity of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" in North America has long spread to the world, not to mention the good foundation laid by "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" on a global scale.

This makes "The Two Towers" the most watched movie in the global film market, and it is not the only one.

Of course, this does not mean that necessary publicity will not be done.

After the promotional tour in North America, the entire crew was split into two, with Little Gilbert taking Anne Hathaway, Ian McKellen and others to Europe.

In Asia, Oceania and other regions, Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, and Elijah Wood led the team for promotion.

The overseas screening date this week coincides with the Cannes Film Festival in France.

Although "The Two Towers" did not register for the Cannes Film Festival, it still communicated with the organizing committee and obtained a qualification to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

Maybe the organizers believe that "The Two Towers" in Cannes can also create some heat for the Cannes Film Festival.

But what the organizers didn't expect was that "The Two Towers" was too popular. Speaking of which, this Cannes Film Festival is also very interesting. The opening film is "Moulin Rouge" starring Nicole Kidman.

It just so happens that after participating in the activities of "Moulin Rouge", Nicole Kidman can also participate in the activities of "The Two Towers", which is perfect.

However, the three major European film festivals have never paid much attention to Hollywood. As the opening film, "Moulin Rouge" is actually not very popular.

After briefly meeting the crew of "The Two Towers" in Cannes, Nicole Kidman and Gilbert Jr. talked about their plans.

She plans to go to China to promote with Tom Cruise.

These days, except for Gilbert Jr.'s movies that have been promoted in China, the rest of the Hollywood directors and stars have never set foot there.

If Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise go, they will be an icebreaker.

This shows one thing, that is, the growth of the Chinese market has indeed made many people in Hollywood realize the value of this land.

"Moulin Rouge" received little response, but during the days when "The Two Towers" was screened, it overwhelmed the rest of the films screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

"The Piano Teacher" and "My Son's Room", both highly promoted at the Cannes Film Festival, were left out. During the screenings of these two films and "The Two Towers", the film seemed quite deserted.

It's simple, because the audience went to "The Two Towers".

Some viewers even got into fights because they couldn't get tickets for "The Two Towers," and it was reported by the media.

So when "The Two Towers" dominated the Cannes Film Festival, the French "Cinema" magazine commented: "The Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee made a wrong decision by inviting "The Two Towers" to the Cannes Film Festival.

Does the organizing committee naively believe that European films can suppress super blockbusters from Hollywood?
Wake up, Europe is no longer the center of the film industry. "

Although it is an exaggeration to say that Hollywood has conquered the world, at least there is no problem that it has no rivals around the world.

After the New Wave movement, European films were simply unable to compete with Hollywood films.

Ferroga also criticized the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival, as well as other films. I thought this made European movies completely lose face, and I was pushed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly by "The Two Towers".

"Firoga" called on European films to stand up and jointly resist the invasion of Hollywood films.

However, what Ferroga did not know was that at this time the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival were discussing with Gilbert Jr. to invite him to serve as a judge at the Cannes Film Festival next year.

He was just a judge and his workload was not heavy. Of course, little Gilbert also wanted to give face to the Cannes Film Festival, so he agreed without much hesitation.

At the same time, the Cannes Film Festival invited Gilbert Jr. to hold the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" at the Cannes Film Festival next year, and Gilbert Jr. agreed.

After the news was known to "Feroga", it issued a cry of grief and indignation in the newspaper: European cinema is finished.

Later, Gilbert Jr. accepted an exclusive interview with Le Monde, in which he said: “The future of European films depends entirely on the European filmmakers themselves.

I have heard a saying that the biggest crisis is not external, but internal crisis is the most important crisis.

I certainly hope that European films will get better and better. My French friend Sophie Marceau has always told me that there are many outstanding film creators in Europe.

They are part of the film industry as a whole and have a huge role in promoting the entire industry. "

These words have somewhat eliminated the hostility of some European filmmakers, but European films cannot prevent "The Two Towers" from becoming a hit in Europe.

In its first week in the UK, "The Two Towers" achieved a box office of US$3430 million, successfully breaking the weekly box office record for British domestic films.

In France, taking advantage of the Cannes Film Festival, although the French Minister of Culture once again called on the French people to boycott Hollywood's "The Two Towers", it was in vain.

French movie fans made their choice with their honest movie tickets, and the film grossed US$2545 million at the box office in France.

The situation in Germany is also good, with the film taking in US$2779 million at the box office, and the Italian box office also reaching US$1250 million.

Combined with other European film markets, the box office reached 2688 million US dollars.

"The Two Towers" swept across Europe, raking in a box office of US$1 million in Europe in its first weekend, creating a better first-week box office performance than in North America.

However, this is not the end. The film has not only exploded in Europe, but also in Australia, South Korea, island countries, and even in mainland China.

So when the film passed its first weekend overseas, it grossed US$1 million.

In its third weekend in North America, "The Two Towers" once again scored US$3850.6 million at the box office.

Including the box office on weekdays and the previous accumulated box office, the North American box office has reached 3.02 million US dollars.

Including overseas box office, the film's global box office reached the level of 4.87 million US dollars.

For other movies, if the total box office of a movie can reach the level of four to five billion US dollars, it is a big profit. But for the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies, this is just a node.

Everyone knows that "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is bound to be another billion-dollar super blockbuster.
