"What? Are you going to exit our protest?

Walking to the junction of Hollywood Avenue and Highland Avenue, Krish looked at Brad Miller with an incredible look and reminded, "Don't forget, Brad, this protest was initiated by you!"

"I'm worried that the film will destroy the original work. △￠" Brad Miller was very calm, obviously not an impulse. "I've watched the film. "The Rings Expedition" did have some changes, but all the plots in the film are more exciting than the original work!"

He emphasized again, "It turns my fantasy into a realistic picture!"

"Yes! Yes!" Pete echoed loudly, "The video is unexpectedly good, everyone should stop protesting, go and watch the video first."

"No, I won't give up protesting!"

Thinking of the benefits he received, Krish insisted, "As a qualified fan, you should protest all adaptations of the Lord of the Rings!"

The disputes between the leaders have reached the ears of others. Most of them are hard-core book fans, and a lot of them are called by Brad Miller. Now the minds are shaken and they are also beginning to be upset.

"The video is really that great?"

"Blade is a staunch counter-adapter, and he says it's excellent..."

"We'd better go and have a look."

"Well, it seems like there is a midnight event tonight. It will be over in a while. Let's buy tickets directly..."

Brad Miller knew something about Crish. Seeing that the differences could not be resolved, he simply said loudly, "I officially launched a protest against the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings"..."

"And I!" Peter intercepted.

The two exchanged a look, and Miller continued, "I'm very sorry for some stubborn and conservative thoughts that have made everyone waste so much time and energy, but I still have to say that the video is even more exciting than you can imagine!"

After saying that, he stopped stopping and returned to the China Grand Theater with Pete. He was ready to watch the next midnight show!

The gathering crowd was slowly dispersing, and many of them were curious about Brad Miller's words and deeds, and they actually followed.

This massive protest organization inevitably embarked on the road of division.

Some people choose to leave, some choose to continue protesting, and some people choose the theater nearby, preparing to see how exciting the film can actually change the position of a diehard like Brad Miller.

Midnight in Western Time is coming, from San Diego to Los Angeles to San Francisco. All the theaters have not become quiet because they are approaching late at night, but have become particularly lively due to the influx of a large number of movie fans.

Outside the Santa Clara Cinema in San Francisco Bay, Zhou Xin is busy in the store and keeps giving advice to the boss.

"The midnight venue is about to begin screening. Boss Ke, based on my experience selling the surrounding areas of "The Matrix", we should place the peripheral products of Duke's new film on the most conspicuous position on the shelf!"

"George. That's right!" The young boss Ke is obviously a Chinese. He looked outside through the glass window. "There are several large chain theaters on this street, and our store is located right in the middle. If the peripheral products of "The Lord of the Rings" can have the sales of "The Matrix", this time..."

"Boss, I've been in a film-related industry for several years."

Zhou Xinbian directed the clerk Bu Sui. He said, "Duke's videos bring not only box office, but also hot sales of peripheral products."

Last year, he jumped from Santa Clara Cinema to this newly opened gift shop in San Francisco Bay and served as store manager. Although this is a gift shop, he spent a lot of time selling various movie-related products. For example, after entering the summer season, the boss named Ke Peng, with his relationship with a senior executive of the Duke Studio, has gained a lot of share from the relatively intimate distribution of the Magic of Rings peripheral products.

Seeing Zhou Xin leading the clerk busy, Chinese boss Ke Peng looked calm and confident. Although it was the first time he opened the store to San Francisco Bay, he was not worried about profit. This is the gathering place for famous movie fans in the San Francisco area. He has prepared far more products related to the Lord of the Rings than others. As long as "The Rings Expedition" can have the influence of "The Matrix", this store will definitely generate a large profit!

As midnight was getting closer and closer, through the glass window, Ke Peng could see a place not far away. More and more people walked into the two cinemas, which seemed to be more than ever before.

It is obvious that these people are all aiming at the newly released "The Rings Expedition".

The huge motor roared, and a black Maybach supercar suddenly stopped in front of the store, and then walked into a Chinese man who was somewhat similar to Ke Peng.

This is San Francisco, the largest Chinese-American settlement in the United States. It is not difficult to see from the man's clothes and car that he is of great value.

He looked at the busy shop and asked, "Isn't it closed so late?"

"Hi, Yang Ge!" Zhou Xin said hello when he saw him.

"Hello, George." He waved to the other side and turned to the boss.

Ke Peng was somewhat helpless and said, "Don't you know that Duke's new movie will be released tonight?"

Yang Ge shook his head.

Pointing to the various products related to the Lord of the Rings on the shelves behind him, Ke Peng said, "They will soon usher in a sales peak."

"Tonight?" Yang Ge obviously disbelief, "It's early morning soon. You're not a nightclub here, so can you still have a peak sales?"

"Don't you go to go to the female star tonight?" Ke Peng asked, and saw him shook his head, patted his shoulder, and said, "I'm worried that there is not enough staff. Stay here to help. By the way, you, a non-movie enthusiast, have a look at what Duke is? Rosenberg effect!"

"Duke Rosenberg? Didn't he make a movie..."

The West Coast midnight show has just begun, and some theaters in the Central and Eastern United States will be about to end screenings.

In a movie chain in downtown Chicago, Cochran, from the investigation company, finished his work and was chatting with a female reporter from NB TV's Chicago Local Station.

"If other theaters have attendance here," he told the female reporter, "The Rings Expedition will set a new North American midnight box office record!"

"Who is the original midnight box office record?" the female reporter asked curiously.

"Duke Rosenberg." Cochrane spread his hands and said with a helpless smile, "his "The Matrix."

The female reporter immediately showed a surprised expression, "God. He is so scary!"

Cochran shrugged, doing work related to film statistics, which is no longer surprising.

Duke Rosenberg's movie sets a record, and Duke Rosenberg's next movie breaks the record. Isn't this a normal thing?

"The attendance rate of midnight venue is very high?" asked the female reporter again.

Cochrane nodded slowly, "It's very high. Although there is only one cinema screening "The Rings Expedition", there are 422 seats and 395 tickets sold!"

Even though she had just joined the TV station, the female reporter couldn't help but widen her eyes. Such a midnight venue attendance rate can definitely be called terrifying.

Of course, she also knew that this was a famous theater located in a bustling area and was not universal.

However, this can also illustrate quite a lot of problems.

The footsteps suddenly rang out. The female reporter immediately stood up and called her cameraman to walk towards the exit. Cochran picked up a bunch of questionnaires and followed.

When the female reporter saw the audience who came over first, she couldn't help but look surprised on her face, as if she had just won the grand prize.

She immediately met, "Hello, Mr. Roger Albert, I am..."

She introduced herself for a moment. She asked quickly, "You just watched "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Expedition", right? Can you evaluate this video?"

In recent years, Roger Albert has been very coldly treated by the market and film companies. Seeing a reporter interviewing him, Roger Albert immediately showed the style of a top expert. After pondering for a while, he said, "The Ring Protection Expedition presents a Middle-earth world that does not exist in reality, but it is boring..."

“The Ring Expedition is a wonderful and wonderful dream journey!”

The high-pitched and excited voices sounded near the two of them interrupted Roger Albert's words. He was a fan in his 20s. He was obviously not awakened from the movie's mood when he was under Cochrane's questionnaire. "I was completely immersed in the Middle Earth world created by the film. If possible, I really want to experience that magical world myself!"

Roger Albert frowned and looked over there. In the past years, his face represented authority in Chicago's movie-related occasions.

The movie fan, who was about twenty, noticed his eyes, turned his head and glared at Roger Albert, took the gift handed over by Cochran, and left directly.

Ignoring is sometimes the biggest harm!

But facing the camera lens, Roger Albert has to show his best demeanor and continue the topic just now, "This is a mechanized work, full of unnecessary special effects, and its narrative theme is relatively mediocre, especially those boring battle scenes..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the excited voice of another ordinary movie fan next to him, "This video is so outstanding. The scenes displayed by the special effects make me feel like a dream and completely intoxicated. Its magicality is not as good as the Star Wars series... Well, there are fighting, and every battle between justice and evil is so intense that it makes me excited. I have seen the original work, and the original work is definitely not as exciting as Duke's film!"

No matter how well Roger Albert's cultivation is, his face begins to look a little ugly.

The new female reporter didn't seem to see it and asked again, "Mr. Albert, do you think this video is average?"

“A very mediocre work.”

Thinking of the movie fans' turn a blind eye just now, the director of the film, even if he is Roger Albert, his psychology inevitably changes, "This video is at best!"

"What? Our rating?"

There were more than a dozen young movie fans around Cochrane, who seemed to be together. At this time, he said in unison, "Let's play a+!"

The young men handed over the answer sheet, saw the microphone in the female reporter's hand and the camera behind him, and immediately surrounded him, looking like he wanted to be interviewed.

Their eyes were just looking at the reporter, as if Roger Albert, opposite the female reporter, was just an ordinary person.

Roger Albert left a super low score comment and left the theater with a gloomy face.
