Made in Hollywood

"May the stars twinkle in the night sky, and the endless stars will guide you on your journey. May the curtain of darkness fall, and the evil will stay away from your holy soul..."

The subtitles slowly fell, and the elegant, flexible, and quiet singing sounded. Norman Schiller's eyes left the big screen completely for the first time after the screening began. After looking at the watch, more than two and a half hours had passed. .

How long is this film? Hiller was suddenly shocked!

In his feelings, the film seemed to have just started and ended soon. He was immersed in this dreamlike story, and he could not feel the passage of time at all. Looking back, he realized that the horribly fast pace of "The Matrix" In comparison, the advancement of the story should be soothing and flat.

What makes him incredible is that the relatively slow rhythm not only does not make him feel dull and long, but also finds it very interesting. It can easily sink the emotions into it. I just want the film to be longer!

Why can't it be longer? Why does this fantasy journey end here?

Not only Norman Shearer, but most of the audience in the theater think so. This is definitely a magical movie, and they don't want to see the end.

Such a journey should not have an end!

The singing is still ↗, continue, there seems to be a strange emotion brewing in the theater, although it is invisible, Michael Bay can feel it.

The film is over. Although the ending of the first part is a tragedy, he realized that the number one box office bomb of this summer file has appeared!

Looking at ordinary audiences who were sad or excited, but did not have any calm or bored look, Michael Bay also fell into thinking for a while.

It is also a super long epic film. Why is "Pearl Harbor" dull by most of the audience, while "The Fellowship of the Ring" can make the audience mesmerized?

I need to learn a lot like Duke Rosenberg!

Duke is not Peter Jackson after all, and there is no story about New Zealand. Although the Hobbit and the Fellowship Expedition team will inevitably show the customs of Middle-earth when they are on their way, he will not use certain scenes that are shown purely for display purposes. The time saved is only a small amount used to strengthen fighting and The special effects scene, the rest were discarded. This is the 165-minute release version.

Rhythm is extremely important for any commercial film. The rhythm of "The Fellowship of the Ring" is a bit gentle, but it is never slow enough to make people feel dull.

And the slow transitional plot, either with the exotic atmosphere of Middle-earth, or with angel elves coming out to attract attention.

As for the effect...

The subtitles were gone, the applause came as promised, and the loud voices went from chaotic to tidy, from thunderous explosions to endless waves. The audience that made up each wave stood up, slapped their palms with the greatest strength, paid tribute to this incredible work, and paid tribute to the director and crew who created this magical journey!

The applause was like thunder, the thunder turned into waves, and the waves were endless. After five minutes, there was no tendency to stop.

"Congratulations. Duke!"

The members of the crew stood up long ago, and Ivanka was the first to give a hug. Then everyone in the neighborhood!

"Oh, my! Oh, my..."

It seems to have been infected by the scene. Among the main members of the crew, the youngest member of the crew, Elijah Wood, was a little out of control, "What have we done? Almighty Lord. What have we done!"

His eyes were red with excitement, and he looked at Duke and others around him, "Is this really what we did? I can't believe that such a great work was shot by us in New Zealand!"

As Elijah Wood's good friend in the film, Sean Austin hugged him tightly. "We did it! God, we did it! Let those **** criticisms go to death!"

Gerald Butler, who had earned countless tears at the end, saw that the applause hadn't fallen yet. When thinking of the red carpet, he suppressed the protest cheering for them, and couldn't help but vent his fist, "Go to him x's protest. !"

The whole crew became excited amidst the applause. In the past two years of preparation and shooting, how many crimes did it suffer? How much bitter did you have? How many scars were added to the body?

At this moment, they have the capital, self-confidence, it is necessary to enjoy the applause, enjoy the applause full of respect!

People will always be affected by the external environment, calm as Duke, at this time also clenched their fists!

Although he has never shown it in normal times, the total investment of more than 500 million US dollars, including the announcement and distribution, will inevitably be weighed on his shoulders. How can he not feel heavy?

How many people know how many nights he suffered from insomnia due to stress, busyness, and excitement during the filming?

A hand next to him suddenly stretched out and grabbed his tight fist. Duke turned his head and nodded to Ivanka. The agitation gradually calmed down.

But the applause still hasn't diminished!

Ivanka clasped tightly, his eyes gradually turned to the rear. The lights in the theater were already bright, and the crowds of people were standing and applauding, applauding for a movie, a crew, a director, and a person's success!

Everyone is applauding for Duke's success!

Although the person paying tribute is not her, Ivanka is still very happy, very happy.

Duke took a deep breath and said to Charles Rowan next to him, "Greeting everyone, come on stage and call for a curtain call!"

Brad Miller’s hands were sore and numb, but he didn’t want to stop at all. Only in this way could he vent his excitement and excitement. Seeing everyone in the crew walk on the stage in front of the screen, he slapped. The power of the palm has increased a bit.

Under the leadership of the director and producer, the crew called the curtain call!

Not only did the applause in the theater not stop, it became louder. It lasted for nearly ten minutes. After five consecutive curtain calls, the applause gradually subsided.

According to the plan of the premiere, after the screening, the crew will interact with the audience.

The first question inevitably comes from the reporter who has done the work beforehand. The reporter just got the microphone and asked, "Director Rosenberg..."

Then he found that he couldn't ask anymore.

Brad Miller didn't want to wait, he wanted to see the next two parts. When the applause ceased, he unconsciously shouted, "Two Towers!"

The eyes of Hiller and Pete lit up immediately, and they shouted, "The Twin Towers!"

Anyone who knows the Lord of the Rings knows what the "Two Towers" represents. There are countless fans who are unwilling to end the journey. Spontaneously responded to this call.

"The Twin Towers! The Twin Towers! The Twin Towers! The Twin Towers..."

In front of crowded fans, let alone interaction, nothing can be done.

Duke stood there, holding the microphone, saying nothing, doing nothing.

"The Twin Towers!"

The cry of the sky flooded in front of the crew like a tide!

The reporters hadn't cared about any interviews for a long time. They stood up and looked at the rear. They had never seen them before. After a movie was screened, all fans in the audience collectively called for a sequel!

What a spectacular scene.

They raised the camera, and the target was no longer the crew on the stage. The crew was irrelevant. They frantically filmed the more crazy fans behind them, and didn't care if they murdered all the film!

Seeing all this, Duke stopped Charles Rowan who wanted to take a microphone, and let the reporter take enough!

More than fifty minutes have passed since the screening. The theater hadn't finished yet, and Clichy led the protesting team. It was blocked near the exit of the theater so that the audience and crew could protest loudly when they left.

He has to do things for others if he takes advantage of others. He knows this very well.

It's just... it's just that the situation is too strange. Almost an hour has passed since the closing time, not to mention the crew members and media reporters, even the audience did not show up.

what's going on?

"Boss..."

A black boy leaned over, "Could it be that the audience was extremely dissatisfied with the film and refused to leave. He also smashed the theater?"

"Is your head full of water?"

Clichy slapped him **** the back of his head, pointed to the police nearby who had been staring at them, and said, "If that happened, the police would have entered."

The black boy touched his head, and suddenly saw a lot of spectators coming out in front of the theater, he quickly reminded, "Come out! Come out!"

"Bring me up!" Chris shouted to hundreds of people behind him, "Hold up the slogan and banner, wait for the reporter to come out, and shout with me..."

He hadn't finished speaking yet, and the audience who came out in front heard a burst of comments and abuse, their voices high and excited, even though they were separated by some distance, they clearly fell into the ears of these protesters.

"Such a wonderful film still protests, you have a problem with your head!"

"I x, protest against the movie in my mind, I x you..."

"Have you seen the movie? You protested if you haven't watched it, a group of mentally retarded!"

"I protest against you group of protesters!"

The voice from the other side became louder and louder, and Clichy couldn't help being stunned. The person who should initiate the protest was his own side. Why did he become the audience?

When he was stunned, many young audiences stopped, and many people gathered around, quickly forming a crowd of hundreds of people. They faced the protesters with mocking and mocking faces, as if Look at the biggest group of fools in the world.

Just like in a theater, once a crowd gathers, emotions are easily contagious. I don't know who in the audience swears loudly, and then a vocabulary with a big head of'f' fell on the heads of the protesters like a pouring rain.

The reporter also walked out, and Sarah of the Los Angeles Times immediately pulled her cameraman and rushed over to capture this rare scene.

In an instant, she thought about the headline of this news.

""The Fellowship of the Ring" only used one premiere to conquer the fans, and the fans went to war with the protesters to defend the film!"

Of course, war cannot break out. There have been police officers around the protesters. They immediately rushed to maintain order, and the people on both sides gradually dispersed.

It was at this time that Miller and Pete, who had left the Chinese Grand Theater, joined the protesters. (To be continued...)
