247. Chapter 247 I want more than meeting
"A funny, witty and humorous movie." The evaluations given by the media can be roughly summarized into this sentence. As a commercial movie, no one will investigate whether there is any profound meaning. This is not a Chinese class in Sean's previous life. Why is the curtain blue in the curtains written in thousands of words?
Therefore, most film critics just write interesting stories, such as how Clooney used a $12 check to trick Julia into the crew, or Clooney took the initiative to reduce his value in order to make the movie successfully produced, etc. These were exposed when the movie was promoted and had a lot of effects.
Unfortunately, some gossip can only be circulated privately, and it will only have a turnaround effect when it comes to the table. For example, Sean heard that the box office this weekend was actually only 33 million, but in order to ensure that his movie could top the North American box office list, Clooney paid for the box office of 5 million!
After hearing this news, Sean was stunned for a long time. To be honest, even with a weekend box office of 33 million, "Eleven Arhats" is firmly ranked first. The second-ranked "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has been released for more than two weeks, and it has only been more than 20 million on the weekend box office. What's the point of Clooney doing this?
But then again, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" can still get more than 20 million yuan in box office two weeks after it was released. It is indeed impossible to underestimate it. Clooney cannot predict everything, so with his ostentatious personality, it is understandable to do so.
In short, the review of "Eleven Arhats" is to summarize these gossip comments and give them a rating after they are finished. Most of them are average and those who like commercial movies may give them a positive review, and then it's over.
The comments on the movies are so simple that they give Sean even less space. Most of them just praise them, saying that they are doing well, and they are more perfunctory. Of course, tabloids like the New York Post that taste many sweetness in Sean are still a must-have a few sarcasm, but they are also relatively weak.
In fact, these don't matter. This is just a commercial movie. The content has been recognized by most people. The criticism of acting cannot affect anything, let alone-
"Your excellence is obvious to all," Frederick reposted Lesen, "At least on the Internet, many people like your role, and many of them almost compare you with Clooney and Pete. You starred in "Eleven Arhats" to accumulate popularity. Now that you are very popular, what are you worried about?"
Well, the agent is right. Since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to care about anything else. I will always find an opportunity to give the New York Post a good look.
So, after participating in the premiere of "Eleven Arhats", Sean immediately rushed to the UK to attend the premiere of another movie, which was the filming for 18 months and produced the first song of "The Lord of the Rings", which lasted for nearly a year in the post-production.
"I'm about to be tested by the audience, and I suddenly became a little timid. What if they don't like it? What if book fans think that this movie is a classic? What if I'm throwing eggs and tomatoes when I go out in the future?" Peter Jackson said to several starring actors and producers in the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square in London.
It’s not that he is so worried. It is said that during the internal trial, several people thought that although the CG of the movie looked very beautiful and gave people a real and magnificent feeling, the pace of the story was still a bit slow. However, the new line did not have the idea of selling the North American distribution rights to recover a little cost first. With the lessons learned by 20th Century Fox, it would be too stupid to do this. Besides, since they raised $300 million to create the trilogy, it doesn’t matter if they bet bigger.
But even though that's what Peter Jackson said, there was only an expression of excitement in his eyes. In any case, the movie has been completed and he has fulfilled his dream. No matter whether the movie ends up becoming a bad movie or a classic, he will leave a lot of marks in film history.
"Let's wait and see, Peter, this will become a classic." Sean said this a few words like others, "You see, similar "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has a box office of 200 million in North America. Although "Lord of the Rings" is at the PG-13 level, it may be a little worse, but it will definitely not be too far away."
"Thank you." Although Jackson had already put down his expectations for the box office, he still didn't care about this.
Sean knew what he was thinking. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is a family-friendly movie after all, especially the first two movies. The novel has only been very popular in the past two years, and is incomparable to "The Lord of the Rings", which has accumulated decades of accumulation.
Since that's the case, let the facts speak. For Sean, even if many memories are vague, the big sale of "Lord of the Rings" is still certain. Similarly, the big sale of the Harry Potter series is also. Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but sigh. If he had the capital at that time, it would be great to get the copyright of the Harry Potter series. I vaguely remember that this profit created a profit chain worth billions.
No matter what, even though he had money and obtained the film copyright, he could only cooperate with large Hollywood companies. With these guys' operations on capital and the film industry, it was already very good that he could drink the soup in the end.
Even if you drink some soup, you should... Sean shook his head and stopped his thoughts. No matter what, this matter is over, unless he can be reborn again, but unfortunately, that little loli of Hermione is.
After crossing the line with Camilla, Sean felt like a floodgate was opened in his heart. The girl's semi-green and half-mature temptation began to become more and more tempting to him, just like when he was with Helena. The girl who had the most impressed in her previous life was probably Hermione from the Harry Potter series, the girl named Emma Watson. After making breakthrough progress with Camilla, he couldn't help but think of the little girl when he saw the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
Of course, she is still too young now, she can only be said to be cute, and she will only be said to be tempting after becoming a girl in a few years. Unfortunately, Sean has no channels to contact the other party. Situations like Camilla are completely unavailable. If she waits until a few years later... what is going on in the entertainment industry, Sean now knows it. Thinking back to the various information in her previous life, it would be better not to say some things.
So, even if he was so moved, he quickly put it away, which is enough now.
The topic returned to the premiere and was very successful. Although the movie lasted for 3 hours, many people still stood up and applauded at the end. Jackson's pursuit of excellence in CG made the picture quite beautiful. Almost every picture can be used to make a postcard, sometimes exquisite, sometimes gorgeous, sometimes wild, sometimes beautiful. In addition, the pace of the movie was slow, but it was not so slow that it was unacceptable. Several battles were also very impressive, so overall it was still considered excellent.
But Sean never expected that his character, Hardir, the captain of Roslolian's tourer, only appeared for about 8 to 10 minutes. He started to take a bow and arrow at the chattering dwarf Jin Li, until he met the queen with the ring guard team, and then when the ring guard team left, he came out to see them off, and there were several scenes without him.
This was so depressing. Sean was sure that he had shot the first film for more than that, at least 25 to 30 minutes, which was directly subtracted by two-thirds... Even though he knew that there was nothing he could do about it, he was still a little unhappy.
The only comforting thing is that his character is very handsome, with angular facial features, deep eyes, and the blonde hair with a big back is drooping again, masculine and a little feminine, not inferior to Orlando Bloom's Legrass. Some female fans discussed it very enthusiastically on the forum, and a few said that Sean should play Legrass, and then aroused the anger of Bloom's fans and fought again.
However, this completely unexpected handsomeness caused no one to see who was acting, so many people exclaimed after looking at the cast list, "It's impossible!"
Sean has never been famous for his handsomeness. Although he is very interesting, Lai Zhi became famous because of his acting skills and various controversial topics. So when such a handsome appearance appears on the screen, no one will associate him with it, so after knowing it, they will look like they don’t believe it. But no matter how they don’t believe it, the facts are all there. Hardir on the screen is handsome and handsome, and he should really thank the makeup artist.
However, even so, Sean is still not as good as Orlando Bloom who plays Leglas in this regard. Who made the latter one of the protagonists? Moreover, even if the topic character has more topics, the media's attention is still on the entire trilogy, and even if he doesn't even mention him, the argument about appearance is limited to the Internet.
There is nothing to regret about this. There are gains and losses, and there are losses and gains. Playing Hardir is for the long-term benefit. Sean decided long ago, otherwise he would definitely compete for Legras.
Well, this is the first part about "Lord of the Rings". After the premiere in the UK, it will not be released in the United States until around Christmas. With its current excellent reputation, it can be predicted that it will definitely be quite popular. Jackson and the New Line Company can breathe a sigh of relief.
At the premiere, Sean failed to have another brief passion with Liv Taylor like in "Eleven Arhats". After all, Arwen is the wife of the Emperor of Humanity. Well, this is a joke. The reason why Sean did not tease Liv was because there were too many reporters. The name of the British paparazzi is famous all over the world. For a little valuable news, Sean doesn't want to attract too much attention, and his attention is all on other things.
Even so, it still triggered an argument.
"You said you respect me, but what are you doing now? What are you doing?!"
"You promised me that at least one day of each month we will meet, but what about now?!"
"Didn't I meet you?"
Chapter completed!
