"Hi, hello everyone, long time no see."

After quickly passing through the interview area, Ryan came to the huge poster and greeted Shawn Bin, Elia Wood, Orlando Bloom, Ian McLean and others who gathered here, "It's really a pleasure to regroup with the ring guards."

"Oh, congratulations, my highness." Elijah Wood deliberately gave a elves to Charlize who was holding Ryan, "King Irisa and Princess Arwen finally got together."

"Mr. Frodo Baggins." Charlize smiled extremely brightly, "It's a pity that there is no female Hubby suitable for you now."

"I believe Andy must like Elia very much." Orlando Bloom pulled Andy Serkins, who played Guru, and "You are the best partners in the movie. I remember Andy's most wanted food is baked Frodo, right?"

Ryan and others around him laughed at the same time, causing nearby reporters to keep pressing the shutter.

Unlike in the past life, the Lord of the Rings in this life has the participation of Ryan and Charlize Theron. The cast is not only huge, but also star-studded. When taking photos on a routine, I don’t know how many Philly murdered the reporter.

"Peter, I have to say..."

Walking into the Hollywood Chinese Theater, Ryan came to Peter Jackson near, "You did it so amazing. Believe me, after this series, you will become the first-line director in Hollywood."

Before the movie was released, a trial meeting would definitely be held, so he naturally watched the preview version.

Peter Jackson nodded without any modesty, "I think so too."

After saying that, he laughed with Ryan.

Because this is the first part of the trilogy, you must spend a lot of effort on publicity. In addition to the production cost of $95 million, Ryan also prepared a promotional and marketing expense of $60 million for the film. Such a huge investment naturally made Peter Jackson feel the pressure.

After the preview, the recognition from theaters and Ryan has relieved these pressures a lot.

Charlize was chatting with Peter's wife. Ryan was walking around the front hall and greeted the guests who attended the premiere. In order to increase the movie's attractiveness to the original book fans, he even asked Tolkien's descendants to attend the premiere.

In addition, before the movie was released, Ryan had a copyright understanding agreement with the agency that hosted the copyright of Tolkien's works, in case some clowns came out to cause trouble after the movie was sold.

To be precise, this is a movie belonging to men. The female characters in the trilogy are Arwen, Iowin and Queens of Kellandriel.

When passing by the two Australian actresses with blonde hair, Ryan waved to Cate Blanchett first, and when he left, he came to Naomi Watts and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Interests can touch people. Simple interests may not necessarily gain the upper hand in the face of interests and friendship.

"Ryan, I heard that the whole of England is in peace because of you?"

Finally, Ryan returned to the place where the main creators of "The Lord of the Rings" gathered. Ian McLean joked casually, "So many British people protested, I hope it won't affect the box office of this movie."

"If the movie doesn't meet the expected box office in the UK..."

Billy Boyd from Socra has always been an active member. He couldn't help but come up with bad ideas, "Then let Ryan pay for it out of his own pocket."

"Gentlemen, Manchester United fans are only a minority for the entire British film market." Ryan didn't care and waved his hand and said, "British is the home of the Lord of the Rings. As long as the movie is excellent enough, the box office will definitely not be a problem."

In order to maximize profits, this movie has almost achieved simultaneous release of Britain and the United States. "The Lord of the Rings" will officially land in the Kingdom of Great Britain starting tomorrow from North American time.

The adaptation of literary works with a certain influence into movies was one of the main sources of Hollywood movies in the past, present and future.

Sitting in the theater and waiting for the film to begin, Ryan naturally thought about this.

If the "films adapted from literary works" are divided into one category, the number of films in this category will probably make the classification lose its meaning.

As the most dynamic entertainment product, Hollywood movies have always practiced the use of ideology, and literary works have become an inexhaustible source of materials. Writers are happy to provide raw materials to the huge and ruthless machine of the film industry. Because the rewards are so generous, even those noble people who shout that art is more important than everything else can withstand the temptation of huge returns?

Not to mention novels like "The Lord of the Rings" that have a huge influence in the West, even literary works that are not very successful may be favored by Hollywood. There are countless examples of novels or documentary works adapted into successful movies.

But things are not that simple. Unknown novels can be used to delete and modify them at will. You should be cautious when writing classics. For example, if you make Hamlet and Ophelia old, someone will definitely degrade the movie without any value.

However, bringing literary works with a certain foundation to the big screen is undoubtedly a good way to reduce risks.

What was the biggest movie sold every year in the last few years of my previous life? Either it was a comic movie, or a magical or youth novel movie adapted.

Although these movies are always criticized by so-called professional film critics, they believe that the entire world's film market has fallen, and the audience only understands low-level interests, and the only one who truly has a level of artistic appreciation is their group.

But these people obviously forgot that, as a cultural and entertainment product, movies are no longer a seller's market. If you don't even know how to cater to the most basic needs of the audience and the market, you should make such movies for yourself to enjoy.

Hollywood's first priority is always business, and European films that claim to be "art" are just one step away from death.

Comic movies and youth idol movies can bring huge benefits, and for Ryan, this is enough to make a choice.

The former already has Marvel comics, while the latter is currently trying, such as the Scarlett Johnson version of "The Princess Diary" that is being filmed, which is facing the consumer group of teenagers.

If the plan is successful, Disney's experience in developing the youth market will further promote future benefits.

In fact, since the end of last year, Jenkins Pictures has been talking about the film adaptation rights of the "Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe" series, because the other party's asking price was too outrageous and there has been no negotiation.

There are several other novels that are currently in contact with the author or copyright owner, but it is indeed difficult for Jenkins Pictures to obtain the adaptation rights now.

Fortunately, the biggest difference lies in money, and there is room for discussion.

Because teenagers are the main force in the consumption of movies and peripheral products, youth idol movies are undoubtedly a powerful tool for making money.

What is the hottest youth idol movie in my previous life? It seems to be the vampire who loves to die and the mockery who fights for freedom.

Forget it in the "Twilight" series, it's a pure female work, and the protagonist of "The Hunger Games" is also a woman...

Some childhood memories appeared in Ryan's mind. He vaguely remembered that when the novel "Resident Evil" was released, he deliberately registered "Battle Royale" in Japan. He had never heard of related names and content in recent years. In this way, he would have created "The Hunger Games" in advance and would not have any plagiarism storm.

Of course, now he is full of things and he definitely doesn't have so much time. The best way is to draw out the outline and find a gunman who signs together.

I vaguely remember that the original author seemed to be Susan Collins, and after the movie ended, he notified Garcia and asked him to send someone to find it.

After the novel is launched, you can hire book critics to praise it. After it has a certain influence, it will be adapted into a movie. However, Jennifer Lawrence is probably younger than Taylor, right?

I remember Taylor also sang the first theme song, well... this series can be fully matched with the little guy's growth pace.

"Dear, you're distracted again."

Charlize Theron reminded him, "The movie is about to begin."

"Some work matters." Ryan explained casually.

As the lights went out, the theater quickly returned to the quietest you should have when watching the movie. After the short opening on the big screen, a narration first appeared.

This narrator who introduces the Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth history comes from Queen Gerardriel, namely Cate Blanchett.

"The world has changed. I feel from the water, I touched from the land, I smelled from the air, and many past things have been lost. No one still remembers it now......... On the land of Mordor, in the flames of Mount Doom, Zoro, the dark demon king, secretly created a commander's ring to control all the other rings. In this ring, he instilled his cruelty, his evil, and his desire to dominate all living beings......"

"History has become a legend, and legend has become a myth. For more than 2,500 years, no one has learned the whereabouts of the Lord of the Ring. Until the opportunity came, it seduced a new holder."

The beginning is both an introduction to history and a display of the movie. A scene of a coalition of humans and elves in the Battle of Mordor is undoubtedly quite attractive, and can attract most of the audience and continue to sit in the theater to watch.

The beginning of a commercial movie is very critical. If the beginning of the movie lacks the most basic plot that can seduce the audience to continue watching, the movie is likely to be coldly treated at the box office.

The first song can be said to be a very critical one. It is undoubtedly important to make a good start. Book fans are only a small part of the audience. For most people, especially those who have never read Tolkien's original work in non-Europe and America, explaining the background becomes a matter that must be done and difficult to do.
