Hollywood legendary director

As night fell, the black Lincoln car drove into Hollywood Boulevard and headed westward towards the Emirates Rock Theater.

"How is it? Tired?"

On the back seat, George was in a good mood. After all, the potential reputation brought by the success of "Furious" was partly blessed on him. His position within the company is also getting higher and higher, as if he is a shareholder partner. The direction goes on.

"After running so many days of publicity, I still have to rush over to participate in the premiere of "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings". It's very hard." George looked concerned, but where was he himself? , No, I have been busy.I heard that the day before yesterday, I found out about the movie's release situation in Australia, and then I have time to return to China.

"It's okay. After this period of work, I can rest for a while." Lehman shook his head and said.

In the spacious interior, only Lehman and George were seated.

One is to represent the position of Europa Pictures, and the other is to be invited by CAA to come and support.

As for Thomas and Ryan staying in the hotel, they did not want to come.In fact, Lehman didn't want to, but this thing about contacts always needs to be maintained.

CAA has also contributed to this project, and he is a customer of CAA, with a very simple interpersonal relationship. Kevin Hoween personally called to invite him, and he had to agree to his request to be present.

Lincoln quickly arrived at the parking lot of the Emirates Rock Theater. Lyman and George got out of the car and walked toward the passage.

People from CAA and New Line Films were waiting here for a long time, leading them directly through the red carpet to the inside of the theater.

Inside, it was brightly lit and full of voices, as if a grand premiere was about to be held. In fact, just looking at the reporters, media and movie fans on both sides of the road outside can tell.

"Hi, Mr. Peter Jackson," Lehman just walked into the theater hall when he spotted Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings, and greeted him on the initiative, saying, "I wish you a big box office."

"Thank you, I recognize you, Director Lyman, I have watched your work "Furious", it is very exciting."

Peter Jackson is a New Zealander, and he looks a little fat, not as big as his later generations.At this moment, he took the initiative to hold Lehman's right hand, smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to join me. I'm very happy."

"Me too. I have always liked this grand story written by Tolkien. You can adapt it so well and put it on the big screen. It's really admirable."

Does everyone carry the sedan chair? Saying nice things is always the best way to draw the relationship between two strangers who have never met.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Peter Jackson laughed happily, and the hearty laughter made many people in the theater look here.

He is really happy. As a loyal fan of the "Lord of the Rings" series, he is always proud to present the Middle-earth world under Tolkien's idol through images.Lehman's words scratched his itch.

As for Lyman, although most of the polite elements are, the Lord of the Rings series are indeed his favorite movie works in his previous life.

In the original novel, the magnificent war scenes and the exotic charm of various magical arts made "The Lord of the Rings" once considered the most unlikely novel to be transformed into a movie.

But Peter Jackson, Tolkien's book fan, did it, and it was even better than many people thought.

The hobbit village like a paradise, Rivendell like a fairyland on earth, the formidable ring spirit and the burning Sauron like a volcano, as for the scene depicting the battle of the two towers today and the battle of Mordor in the latter part , Is also turned into reality.

This is really admirable, and even the filming location has become the world's most popular tourist destination. I have to say how charming "Lord of the Rings" is.

The only pity is that after director Peter Jackson stepped into the ranks of Hollywood's top directors with this series in one fell swoop, there is not much glories to be seen.

It can be said that Tolkien succeeded and Tolkien failed.

The threshold is too high, and getting stuck is the most embarrassing place.

However, it can be regarded as leaving a strong mark in the history of film.

After another polite sentence with Peter Jackson, seeing someone walk in from the theater gate on the red carpet, Lyman also took the initiative to say goodbye.

At this time, most of the movie theaters were high-level producers, actors, directors, and several investors.

Each has its own small group, they chatted, Lehman greeted at will, and did not go up to join in the fun.

"Congratulations, Lyman."

Hearing the greeting, looking back, I saw that CAA partner Kevin Howen was walking by. He looked very enthusiastic and his tone was quite sincere. "There is another film with a box office of over 100 million, which is amazing."

"Thank you." Lehman said humbly, "It's just luck."

"Luck? It doesn't make sense. One success can be said to be accidental, but it is a skill to be able to reap something one after another, Lehmann." Stopped, Kevin Howian stood next to Lehmann, again Take the initiative to say: "Come, I will take you to meet a few people."

Kevin Hoween led the way forward, Lehman looked at George sideways and found that he was chatting happily and didn't say anything, just keeping up with the pace.

In the first row of the projection hall, there was a round table, and many people were sitting around it.

"This is Digg Jeremiah..."

"This is Liam Jesse..."

"This is Eric Bryan..."

Among a group of people in formal dresses, Kevin Hoween introduced Lehman enthusiastically.

These are either the executives of New Line Films, or well-known film producers in the circle.

Lehman showed his brightest smile and greeted each other one by one.

"This one doesn't need me to introduce more."

"Of course. Mr. Bryan, long time no see."

The image of a big bald head is naturally easy to recognize. The agent Brian Lord, who also belongs to CAA, has a friendly smile on his face, and grasps Lyman's proactive right hand, "Long time no see, Lyman."

The two sides greeted briefly, and soon Lehmann's attention returned to the executives of New Line Films headed by Digg Jeremiah.

He is not an idiot. Kevin Hoween took the initiative to recommend him. Either the other party has trouble with him, or CAA itself has trouble.

However, if you want to talk about the latter, you don’t have to discuss it on this occasion. You can take the initiative to make an appointment in private. Therefore, there is only the former.

Sure enough, Digg Jeremiah spoke with a cordial tone, "Director Lyman, are there any new movie projects recently? Our New Line Films is very hopeful that we can work with you once."

"There will be a chance, but I'm busy with the movie "Furious" recently, and I don't have time to film the subject matter of the movie." Lehman said politely.

It turned out to be a test for the possibility of cooperation, but for this kind of thing, although Lehman felt that cooperation with Europa Pictures was the best, he did not say that it was dead.

After all, maybe there is a real opportunity for cooperation?

Digg Jeremiah didn't say anything because of this uncertainty. Just try it anyway. It's also great to leave a cooperative friendship foundation. Maybe it can come in handy?

Right, people, always give yourself more opportunities.

After a few more polite words, Lehman left.

Sit down in your place and the lively premiere will begin immediately.

Still the same as in memory, this movie mainly tells the story of Frodo the Hobbit played by Elijah Wood and Sam played by Sean Austin, continuing to Mount Mordor to complete the mission of destroying the Lord of the Rings. On the one hand, Aragorn and the other Hobbits Pippin and Meri joined up with a group of new Allied forces, preparing to launch a wave of offensive on Isengard...

The whole film is 179 minutes long, but it does not appear boring or boring. On the contrary, there is a feeling that the story is not unfolding and the meaning is still unfinished. I have to say that Peter Jackson is indeed in place for the rhythm of the film.

However, when Gandalf in white appeared again, it inevitably reminded Lyman of a lot.

In other words, in the setting of the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf was actually a Maya. In layman's terms, when he was dressed in white, he was already a demigod, and he was known to be very proficient in melee combat and spells.

But after arriving in the hands of Peter Jackson, probably the exaggerated magic effects are too difficult to do, so I simply designed Gandalf as a complete melee unit, or the type of melee combat with a staff as a swordsman.

After spreading to the Internet of later generations, many interesting things have appeared. For example, the problem of adding points to wizards in the game. As long as you learn spells, you only need to learn the light, and the rest of the skill points are all added to the strength and system. With the flares, you can go up and pick up the weapon and cut it.

Wearing a white robe on the body, my heart is still the heart of a soldier.

Melee mage to understand?

Apart from this, the rest is nothing, basically in line with the scene in the book, Peter Jackson also spared no effort to restore the entire Twin Towers battlefield.

In short, the shot was very good.

The story is smooth, and the two-line progress is not complicated; the special effects scenes are also very good, without major flaws; coupled with the temptation of the Lord of the Rings to the human heart is also fully demonstrated, success is inevitable.

The 179-minute movie talked a lot, and left more suspense for the follow-up. The story of the devil and the ring is not over yet. There is no doubt that when the third sequel strikes again, it will definitely be another one. This is also a big bomb in the box office market.

Is it a series of movies? It always increases the audience's interest. If one day, even the fans who have accumulated from the original are not willing to buy it, it will be the end of this kind of movie.

"Congratulations..."

When the movie was over, Lyman gave another compliment, and also left here with George.
