Made in Hollywood

Although Duke had some conflicts with Ivanka, and when Ivanka was leaving in the car late at night, he was also photographed by the paparazzi in front of the Duke’s Manor, but on the second day, the national media and the public focused on the topic. , Is still spinning around the Oscars, as the biggest winners of this year’s Oscars, Duke and "The Return of the King" are definitely the focus of attention.

This film won all of its 12 nominations, which surpassed the 1997 Titan "Nick" and "Benxu" award records in 1959, this is a night belonging to the cast of the Lord of the Rings and Duke Rosenberg!"

Not only the Washington Post, but the entertainment focus of the three major newspapers in the United States is all Oscars.

"Last night, US Western Time, the 76th Oscar Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. The results of this year's awards did not reveal any upsets, and all the major awards were won by previous speculations. The most surprising Yes, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The King of Invincibility" actually won all the 12 nominated units, breaking the record for the highest number of Oscars won by the 11 statuettes of "Titanic" and "Benxu", and created a miracle with a hundred shots. !"

--"New York Times"

Almost all mainstream media are using legend and greatness to describe the gains of Duke and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" at the Oscars.

Not only North American and Western media, but also a movie channel on a national TV station across the ocean. I also paid attention to this awards ceremony, and even delayed playback.

When the award ceremony came to the end, the program commented like this.

"Steven Spielberg announced the winner of the best picture, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" won! The Kodak Theater is boiling, and the famous director Duke Rosenberg, who is popular among Chinese audiences, has won a prize. What a great victory, the recognition of the Oscar trophy also made him one of the best film directors on the planet!"

"In this way, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" broke the record of winning awards for "Ben Xu" and "Titanic" with 12 awards; set a new Oscar shooting rate with 12 of 12 nominations; plus There are 13 nominations for "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring", 3 nominations for "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers" and 6 nominations for "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", and a total of 31 nominations for the "Lord of the Rings" series. 17 The Oscar Award has set a new record of nominations and awards for a new series, making the magical record of 28 nominations and 9 golden men in the "Godfather" trilogy completely destroyed!"

The famous "Watching Movie" magazine here specifically reported on Duke and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

"On the afternoon of February 29th, US Western Time, this year’s Oscars ceremony opened without any suspense. As the director of the movie "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Duke Rosenberg is the most famous one on earth on this day. Face-saving person."

"The world's most valuable director raised the Golden Man three times a night-best director, best film, and best adapted screenplay, and became a veritable winner!"

"As the winner of this year's Oscar. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" belongs to the kind of'landscape film' created by Duke Rosenberg with visual effects technology. Because the technical awards are awarded to digital workers at the same time Personnel. Tonight, "The Lord of the Rings 3" took home more than 20 statuettes."

"I don’t know. The trilogy has earned more than four billion dollars in box office worldwide. What kind of a concrete image of economics is this. But I know that this is a great magical trilogy. Released. A total of more than 250 million RMB in the national box office!"

"I am still unforgettable. In my experience of watching movies, I left with Duke Rosenberg's memory of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The kind of scenery you see on the wide screen from start to finish was shocked and stunned. The experience is unprecedented--perhaps, this is the charm of Hollywood. This is the charm of American blockbusters."

"There is no doubt that Duke Rosenberg is becoming a master of film, a true master, and the means of expression that his mirror language can provide are always the most genius and the most exciting."

"The Chinese translation of this director is Duke Rosenberg. Although he is an American, he may be the most familiar American director. But do you know? Even the Lord of the Rings trilogy, his director career The total box office totaled more than 7.5 billion U.S. dollars, and it has successfully surpassed James Cameron, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg to become the world's number one movie box office!"

"What's even more surprising is that it only took him twelve years and ten movies to do this!"

"If it is said that before this year, Duke Rosenberg’s biggest regret is undoubtedly the lack of recognition for heavyweight awards, but at this year’s Oscars ceremony, the king finally returned and Duke Rosenberg came to dominate. Bit!"

"Fortunately, in June of this year, the newly crowned Oscar for Best Director will bring his new work "Hurricane Rescue" to Shang Beach and participate in the Shang Hai International Film Festival. This is a typical Duke Rosen film. The action movie in the Bo format will be released simultaneously in China and the United States, and because of the time difference, Chinese audiences will see this masterpiece before American audiences!"

"We look forward to the arrival of director Duke Rosenberg and his new work!"

In any case, Oscar's influence in North America and even the world cannot be underestimated. The unprecedented twelve statuettes can be directly transformed into economic benefits in addition to the huge glory.

Talking about money in front of the Oscars seems particularly vulgar, but look at the major companies in Hollywood, especially the Miramax and Weinstein brothers, why are they competing for the Oscars for art and glory?

I believe that any normal person can easily make a judgment.

The Oscar effect, feedback on "The Return of the King", is the most direct data.

The film insisted that it has not been completely downgraded from the North American theaters. The publisher Warner Bros. has made great efforts. There are only less than 300 theaters left in the film. On the second day of the Oscars ceremony, "The King The North American theaters of "Return" expanded again, reaching as many as 1,500!

The most important thing is that quite a few movie fans, influenced by the twelve statuettes, went into the theater one after another and watched the film again, making the single-day box office of less than 10,000 US dollars more than 500,000 US dollars in one fell swoop. Twelve days after the screening, the North American box office figure, which has stood at more than $1.59 billion for a long time, finally passed the $600 million mark!

Although this situation is only a flash in the pan, "The Return of the King" eventually became the second North American movie with a box office of more than 600 million US dollars and a global box office of more than 1.6 billion US dollars.

By mid-March, "The Return of the King" was off-stage in North America, the world's final screening area, creating a series of glorious Lord of the Rings trilogy. The theater trip was completely over, and the most successful series of movies in history was born.

"The Fellowship of the Rings Expedition" US$473.15 million in North America and US$1.132.14 million worldwide.

"The Two Towers" is US$521.32 million in North America and US$1.312 billion globally.

"The Return of the King" is US$645.5 million in North America and US$1.610.15 billion globally.

The trilogy received a total of 4055.17 million US dollars!

This is only part of the film's revenue. Although many peripheral products are still on sale and some peripherals have not yet been launched, as of mid-March 2004, the total peripheral sales revenue of the Lord of the Rings trilogy has exceeded 3 billion US dollars!

By the end of March, the DVD discs of "The Return of the King" were officially on sale worldwide. They were still divided into ordinary packages of US$19.9 and luxury packages of US$39.9. North America’s first week sales reached US$165.77 million, the world’s first Weekly sales of 312.88 million US dollars!

This is far from the end of DVDs. Duke and Warner Bros. plan to wait two to three years before launching a trilogy set with 120 minutes of extras and a total length of nearly 12 hours to continue the journey of making money.

Even in the new video on demand function of the sharing website, the Trilogy of the Lord of the Rings can also be paid on demand, but with the current network conditions, the effect can only be said to be very general.

Although the relationship between Duke and Ivanka has not deteriorated, it has not improved too much, but both are relatively calm people and rarely bring personal conflicts into work.

With the passage of time, the Oscar's heat gradually dissipated, and those little golden men were randomly thrown in the showcase of the Duke's studio by Duke. For him, the glory belongs to the past, not the future. In the future, he will still There was a long, long way to go, and he never wanted to stop here.

DC, Marvel, Transformers, etc., plans are already on his desk.

An old era has passed, and a brand new era is coming! (To be continued...)
