Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 258 Return of the King (seeking subscription recommendation)

"Wow, it's beautiful."

Seeing Eva Green sitting in the commercial car, Lehmann gave a sincere compliment.

The girl wore a lavender off-shoulder dress and her long hair fluttered, giving people a very stunning and feminine feeling.

It seems that the fashion stylists that Johnson found for her are quite useful.

It sets off the girl's temperament.

"Do you think it looks good too." Eva smiled, seemingly satisfied with Lyman's performance.

......

"I'm going, such a slapstick?"

On the scene of the Luer Theater, Lehmann was amazed when he looked at the red carpet that was eager to break through the sidewalk and the lively audience.

"Is this the third film? The first two films have created enough momentum. I can't get to the end of the last film. It's shabby than before. What's more, New Line Pictures is still preparing to compete for Oscars with this film. , How can it be done without any momentum?" Johnson also sighed.

By the way, Harvey Weinstein is still one of the producers of this film, but because he lost the copyright lawsuit to Xinxian, the two have fallen out for a while, and then Xinxian promised some privately. The benefit was given to Harvey, and then he won the help of the master of public relations.

"Okay, we should get off."

Seeing the main creators debut at the finale, it was their turn.

Lyman opened the car door and got out of the car first, then took Eva by the arm and greeted her down.

All the way to the interview area, Lyman didn't let go of Eva's hand.

The signal of his behavior is obvious.

There is quite a way of showing intimacy under the public, and Johnson, who walked behind them, also took the initiative to pull a little distance, more like a single dog that no one cares about.

Toleman's current fame, but many reporters have also noticed Eva.

For a while, the flashing light kept on, and the eyes of the person who was shining directly hurt.

In front of the theater, the New Zealand fat man was still welcoming guests to enter the theater. Standing next to him was Shay, the president of New Line Pictures.

"Director Jackson, congratulations on the release of the new film."

Lyman took Eva's hand and walked forward with a smile.

"Haha, you are here, let's have a drink together in the evening." Peter Jackson gave Lehman a big hug with a chic smile.

"Who is this?"

"Eva Green, my girlfriend."

Lehman introduced.

"Director Jackson, hello." Eva reached out to Peter Jackson generously.

"Hello. Thank you for coming."

Smile politely as always.

After entering the theater, he greeted several acquaintances a few more times, and Lehman sat in his seat with peace of mind.

His position is in the middle of the third row, and next to him are people in the circle such as directors and producers. Eva is sitting next to him.

Approximately half an hour later, the interview with the main creative staff arrived.

Seeing everyone on the stage reminiscing about their bitterness, talking about various funny stories during the shooting, Lehman's eyes were on a middle-aged man with glasses.

This person is the leader of the special effects team responsible for "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King"-Richard Taylor.

This product has almost become famous in the industry along with the "Lord of the Rings" series. From the first film, this New Zealand-born visual effects filmmaker has gradually emerged, and won the best makeup and best at the 72nd Oscar. Visual effects award, and later founded Weta Studio.

Since then, his name has always been associated with big directors such as Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, and James Cameron.

In addition to the "Lord of the Rings" series, some of the beautiful scenes and character models on Pandora in "Avatar" are also the results of him and his studio.Is a really powerful special effects master.

Lehman looked at him, very soliciting, but unfortunately, the Weta Studio has become a climate, and every one billion can not be taken down, that is to say.

......

After the movie started, Lehman found it interesting.

Although he has watched this movie before, it does not prevent him from watching it again from another perspective.

To be honest, Peter Jackson really deserves the title of a hardcore book fan of Tolkien. Several scenes such as the Battle of Palano Plains and the Battle of the Black Gate are reproduced to the greatest extent by mixing real shots and cg models.

This guy has been planning the adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings" since 1995. At that time, his old club was Miramax, and Harvey also provided him with ten million dollars in funding for his preliminary preparations (Harvey’s vision is still good. But his personality is not good, and he likes to play tricks. In addition to Quentin, many directors who have worked with him finally chose to leave him). After the project was established, in order to find a buyer, Harvey and Jackson visited a group of film companies. .

In the end, Shaye, the former president of New Line Pictures, took a fancy to it. After seeing Jackson’s preliminary work, he also said a famous golden sentence: "The original "Lord of the Rings" is a trilogy. Why doesn't the movie do this?"

Yes, the concept of the trilogy was proposed by Saya. At that time, Hollywood was not popular at all for sequel production. Peter Jackson originally wanted to get a "Lord of the Rings", but after hearing Saya's proposal, he probably loved it. Mr. President, he took the initiative to transfer part of his adaptation copyright to Xinxian. This is why Harvey and Xinxian had conflicts later. All three parties hold part of the copyright, but in general, Harvey is the least, Peter -Jackson betrayed his old club again and switched to a new line.

The combination of the two makes Harvey directly lose the right to speak in this project. Seeing that the first film is very profitable, Harvey can not stand such a marginalization and decisively sue the two to the court, but the court is not Oscar, ha Wei had no acquaintances, he was directly fucked down, and finally accepted the move in a desperate manner, operating an Oscar for the "Lord of the Rings" series, striving to maximize profits and sharing some soup.

However, Peter Jackson's mind at the time was also well understood.

Before that, he was just a B-level film director with a small score. He has made three or four films with a gross box office of less than 30 million U.S. dollars. He actually got this rare large-scale production series in film history, with a total investment of up to 300 million.

With such a great faith and kindness, it is no wonder that he would abandon Harvey. Harvey has never supported him like this.

If you compare the two, do you have to say who to choose?

Furthermore, in order to faithfully restore Middle-earth, it took 3 years to write the script and the simulation of the scene. From the preparation in 1995 to the first release in 2001, the past 6 years.

Without such thorough comprehension of the original work and effort-consuming preparation, it would be impossible to have the current glory.

The epic fantasy trilogy is well deserved.

Presumably this is what Peter Jackson is most proud of in his life.
