The subtitles fell and the song sounded. Wallace Lee leaned on the seat, like everyone else in the theater, couldn't help but slapped his palm. This was an unquestionable masterpiece. Even in the eyes of him, a graduate of the California Academy of Arts, "The Rings Expedition" will surely be a classic work that can leave a strong mark in film history.

Also a graduate of the California Institute of Arts majoring in film and recording, why can he make such a masterpiece, but he can only rise and fall in the independent film circle and see no future?

Because the seat is relatively low, Wallace Lee did not stand up immediately, but instead remembered some past events.

He and Duke Rosenberg are graduates of the same class as film and video majors. Although they are not very good friends, they are extremely familiar with each other.

In the California Academy of Arts football team, the opponent was a quarterback, and he was a running back who cooperated with a tacit understanding.

However, after graduation, the two chose two completely different paths.

The other party plunged into the commercial movie circle and quickly achieved success.

With his longing for artistic films, he entered the independent film industry and wanted to embark on an artistic path through training.

However, dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel. Newcomers do have more opportunities in the independent film industry, but this circle is far more chaotic than the mainstream commercial film industry. If it weren't for his strong self-control, I'm afraid it's now long and windy. Text》︽ is already an addict, and maybe even entered the ring house.

Since last year, he has left the independent film industry and returned to the growing city of San Francisco, rethinking his future.

Maybe I should make some changes in time, just like "The Rings Expedition", which is obviously a commercial blockbuster, but who can deny its artistic nature?

Wallace Lee walked out of the cinema. At the exit opposite the corridor, he saw various products related to the Lord of the Rings hanging on the shelves, such as the Mustache pendant, the Supreme Lord of the Rings hanging chain, the dolls of the main characters, the prickly sword model, the shepherd doll, etc.

He rarely became interested in the surrounding products because of the wonderful movie, but found that there were too many people surrounding the product area and could not squeeze in at all, so he had to walk out of the theater and prepare to go home.

As soon as he arrived on the road, he found that under the huge neon light, the nine-headed ring spirit leaped over the horse and swung his sword, and walked over unconsciously. It was a store selling goods around movies. Through the thick glass curtain wall, Wallace could see various products related to the Lord of the Rings.

When Wallace entered the store, he found that there were many people in the store, with dozens of people, but the area of ​​the self-selected store was large enough to not appear particularly crowded.

He only chose two. The hardcover version of the Twilight Star Pendant and the Supreme Lord of the Rings hanging chain cost a total of $199!

Although he does not work in the commercial film industry, Wallace Lee also knows that "The Rings Expedition" is likely to make a lot of money around the surrounding area.

The sound from the cashier is undoubtedly confirming his point of view.

"A Twilight Star Pendant, a Supreme Lord of the Ring Hanging Chain, a Sheepdog doll. A Legolas doll, a Sword Model with a Puncture Sword, a total of $325, thank you!"

"This is a limited edition Gandalf's Wizard's Hat, $366!"

"Your vision is so good. Miss, this is Queen Kelantriel's garland. The raw materials come from the far-reaching ancient East, and only cost $299!"

Listening to this, Wallace Lee took out a newspaper from his pocket and slowly opened it. It was a recruitment notice published in the Los Angeles Times. The Duke Studio recruited an experienced assistant director!

The departure of Wallace Lee did not attract the attention of the clerk. As more midnight audiences walked out of several nearby theaters, more and more people entered the store and purchased their favorite peripheral products.

"Shop Manager..."

A Latino clerk came over and said to Zhou Xin, who was standing behind the cashier, "There are a few shelves that are going to be empty, and we want to re-distribute the goods!"

"So fast!"

Zhou Xin was a little surprised and turned his head to the person next to him and said, "Yang Ge, I can't chat with you anymore. I'm going to do my business."

Yang Ge stood here with his eyes a little straightened. The scene in the store completely exceeded his imagination. Those products with exquisite production, extremely high prices, but average actual costs are so popular. Those who have just finished watching the video do not consider their actual value or their own wallets when they buy them.

These people are even more luxurious than him!

He even heard several people who swiped their credit cards that they would rather eat dry bread for two months than gritted their teeth and bought their favorite ornaments, hats and dolls.

These people who are excited and crazy because of movies cannot be measured with normal business perspectives!

He stood behind the cashier and found that the two open cashiers were too busy at all. The cashier could only repeat the scanning, swipe cards, collect money and make changes mechanically, while more and more people were queuing up after purchasing goods.

At this moment, the boss Ke Peng walked out of his office and stood behind the third cashier. Yang Ge was very eye-catching and hurried over to help...

Nearly an hour later, the last customer was sent away in the store. Yang Ge felt that he was almost exhausted and gasped with his waist on his back.

This is really a crazy sales spike!

"Wavess."

After the clerk closed the store door, Zhou Xin said loudly, "Sales statistics are out!"

The boss Ke Peng looked at the empty shelves with a smile on his face. Even if the store manager didn't say it, he knew that this must be a dazzling data.

Sure enough, the numbers Zhou Xin read out made everyone’s tired spirits excited.

"From the end of the movie to the present, a total of 932 people have entered the store to shop, with sales of $113,899!"

"What?" Yang Ge couldn't believe his ears.

Indeed, for someone like him who is from a wealthy family, this number is nothing, but it is just an hour of sales in the early morning!

Ke Peng's smile on his face became stronger and he said loudly, "All people's salary will double tonight!"

Although I didn't see the video, it is not difficult to draw a very outstanding conclusion from the popular sales tonight. The popular sales tonight are just the beginning.

The store closed, Yang Ge followed Ke Peng toward the parking area, his eyes frequently swept across the other person's face.

He was older than the other party, and at this time he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why is your chain rising so fast? Is there any secret?"

"Of course there is!" Ke Peng said directly without any intention of hiding it, "My store recommends movie products related to Duke Rosenberg every year. Duke Rosenberg's manufacturing is my secret to success!"

His chain stores want to expand their scale and need funds, "Yang Ge, are you interested in investing?"

As the night gets darker, even the bustling Los Angeles gradually falls into silence. In the luxurious suite of the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Ivanka Trump pushed open the window, and the oncoming night wind dispelled a hint of dullness and brought a burst of refreshment.

After looking at the night view of Los Angeles condescendingly, Ivanka returned to the computer in the room and refreshed Duke's personal website. It was probably because the midnight scene had ended. More people expressed their viewing experience in the message section.

"Duke is worthy of being Duke's production. The shock brought by "The Rings Expedition" and the magnificent sound effects, exquisite pictures, and invincible imagination are all touching! In fact, there is no need to praise it too much. As long as it is Duke Rosenberg's production, it will definitely be a great work!"

Ivanka curled her lips, "Brainless fan!"

Although she said this, she felt that such a brainless fan was really cute.

"While the film gives people a grand visual impression, it also has magical colors, especially the psychological description of epic conspiracy is fascinating. Sacrifice and death create an extraordinary journey, and many details also lay the groundwork for the follow-up. The ending expedition team's division in two groups gives people more expectations! It should be said that the soundtrack is epic and magnificent!"

"Director Duke Rosenberg not only brings us a great story, but more importantly, it brings us into a magical Middle-earth world, with all-inclusive vision and cameras traveling through towering cities and castles, showing unparalleled imagination! And Ian McLean's interpretation of Gandalf is amazing, and Ilia Wood's Frodo is the most unexpected surprise. Their smart and distinctive performance once again proves Duke's brilliant vision of choosing actors! There is no doubt that this movie is unique, charming, and undeniable chapter one of the epic trilogy! I believe the future will inevitably be more exciting! Looking forward to "The Twin Towers" and "Return of the King"!"

"There are so many handsome men and beautiful women inside, and there are beautiful scenery. Just looking at the handsome guys, angels and scenery shots is enough to pay the fare..."

"Alessandra Ambrosho's look is so beautiful..."

After scanning the lines down a few lines, Ivanka simply turned off the entire web page, and sent a daze at the computer, looked at the time, and then dialed Tina Fei's number.

"I haven't slept so late, Evie?"

The other side of the phone was obviously still working. Ivanka knew that Tina Fei was very busy at the release night and didn't go around in circles. She directly asked the question she wanted to ask the most, "Has the midnight box office statistics been released?"

She heard Tina Fei mention that the North American Cinema Alliance has long updated the latest computer ticketing system. Although it takes some time to accurately measure the statistics, the approximate statistics will be obtained soon.

"Guess!" Tina Fei was in an obviously excellent mood.

After all, Ivanka worked with Duke for a long time and knew some of the situations. She asked quickly, "Did you break the record?"

"Dear, the answer is correct!"

A number reported by Tina Fei sounded in the earpiece, "The box office roughly counted was $9.5 million, and the actual number should be between $9 million and $9.5 million, and Duke once again broke the record!"
Chapter completed!
