Duke will definitely not let his people come forward when he comes into contact with the Eye of Hollywood. In this world, there are countless people working for money. In addition to Anthony Pelicano, he also secretly hired a former FBI agent, Edward Newgate, through the relationship between Sheriff Carter of the Los Angeles County Sheriff, and used a two-pronged approach to check Christopher Rokencourt's old secrets. Is it like he is worried? ●⌒

Of course, Duke did this not just for the other party to find him openly, but after some thought, he saw the possible benefits.

To put it simply, he is not a Hollywood order defender. How could things that are not good are so laborious?

This kind of thing is not something you can find out by looking up, it takes a lot of time. Duke instructed Nancy Josephson to continue to negotiate with Christopher Rokencott, and his energy returned to the post-production of "The Twin Towers".

The special effects shots that require "Two Towers Shock" far exceed those of "The Rings Expedition". After completing the special effects rendering of Shuhu, Vita Studio's computer special effects group was divided into three main working groups. A few of them continued the special effects of "The Battle of Minastiris", such as "Return of the King", some of whom handled the scattered special effects shots of "Two Towers Shock", and the other part focused on creating special effects scenes of the Battle of Helmet Valley and the Battle of Aisinger.

Duke and Mike Dawson performed the first cut of the film. Although the length of the film he filmed was far less than that of Peter Jackson, the film used up in the trilogy was more than two million feet, and it was also a very tedious job to cut out the first version of the film for about 5 hours.

He adheres to the same editing concept as in "The Rings Expedition". Unless necessary, no scenery shots are displayed simply for display. There are also some adjustments to avoid the once overly procrastination.

The end of the film will inevitably exceed two and a half hours or even close to three hours. With such a long time, how to prevent the audience from feeling the slow pace is a problem Duke has been considering since "The Rings Expedition".

At the same time, the North American theater journey of "The Rings Expedition" continues, but after the film's four consecutive championships in the North American market, the hottest stage has obviously passed, and the trend of cooling is inevitable. Moreover, the competition in this summer is extremely fierce, with one movie after another that Duke was once familiar with continue to be released.

In the following weekend, the third part of the most successful monster movie in North American film history, "Jurassic Park", came strongly. Although the audience's reputation has reached a certain level, it has the influence brought by the first two movies. The film opened the first week of $50.77 million, pushing "The Rings Expedition" out of the box office championship.

"The Rings Expedition" earned only $14.21 million in three days this weekend, plus the $13.56 million it received in the previous four working days, successfully pushed the North American box office through the $350 million mark, reaching $358.37 million.

The overseas box office of the film also exceeded the $400 million mark, and the global box office is moving towards $800 million. It is inevitable that it will surpass "Independence Day", which has the highest box office in Duke.

Correspondingly, the film has a very high reputation. The positive review rate of theater audiences has remained at around 90%. Although the imdb score has declined, it is as high as 9.3 points.

This series was the most successful magical work in the history of world film. The later series "The Hobbit" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are far from comparable in status and reputation. Although the box office of the latter few movies of "Pirates of the Caribbean" reached the height of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, no one would be so stupid that they would compare a popcorn series at sea to the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

Both sides are not at the same level at all.

The biggest problem with the former "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy was the length of time and a bit slow pace. From some plots of the film, you can also see the hesitation of Peter Jackson, a hardcore book fan in choosing.

But Duke would not hesitate. In his eyes, any film critic's professional reputation and consideration for Oscars are all over the place.

Of course, the film will definitely launch an impact on Oscars. After Sofia Coppola's reminder and his suspicion further aggravated, he not only did not stop contacting Christopher Rokencourt, but instead made Nancy Josephson hang him, but also planned for the future Oscars.

The Oscars are still far away. What the "Ring Protection Expedition" needs to do now is to get the most profits from the market as much as possible.

The night sky in July is particularly bright, with bright moonlight scattering in the suburbs of Chicago. Roger Albert sat in the corridor wrapped in vineyards and looked at the agent opposite him.

The agent took out a document from his briefcase and was about to hand it over, but Roger Albert shook his head and stopped it.

"Just tell me." His face was not very good.

Even if he didn't read the statistics about "The Rings Expedition", Roger Albert knew that it must be a number that made him lose face.

After looking at Roger Albert's dark old face, the agent couldn't help but hesitate, but was still ready to say the numbers. After all, he sent the data statistics of "The Rings Expedition" one by one. Roger Albert should have been mentally prepared enough that he would get used to it even if he was slapped too much.

"Just yesterday, the North American box office of "The Rings Expedition" officially exceeded the $400 million threshold, reaching $41.01 million..."

Roger Albert took a deep breath, seemed to be suppressing something, and then interrupted the agent, "Where is the global box office?"

"$978.52 million!" said the agent directly, "has become Duke Rosenberg's best box office result since filming."

"Around the world!" Roger Albert's question seemed to squeeze out from his teeth.

"From the figures released by Warner Bros., global sales of peripheral products are about $380 million, and the video image licensing revenue is about $200 million."

Suddenly, the agent heard a rapid breathing sound from the opposite side, and quickly raised his head to look. He saw Roger Albert taking a few deep breaths, then picked up the coffee that had already been cold and poured it into his stomach half a cup. The gloom that covered his face gradually dissipated.

"Roger..."

He was about to persuade him, but he was interrupted by Roger Albert, "I'm fine. I won't fall until I see Duke Rosenberg's bad luck!"

The agent shut up and Roger Albert fell into thinking, and the corridor was silent.

"I have exact news, Roger."

As Roger Albert's agent, he naturally knew what was the biggest influence of film critics nowadays. "Warner Bros. has begun to prepare for the Oscar application for "The Rings Expedition."

If it were just a simple popcorn like "Independence Day", it would be impossible to make a difference at the Oscars. The problem is that "The Rings Expedition" is not a summer popcorn, and the original book is widely accepted. Many Hollywood movies and Hollywood directors in the past have been deeply influenced by it.

Roger Albert understood what the agent meant, and he slowly shook his head, "This is just the beginning of the trilogy. No matter how much work Warner Brothers do, they can only win a few irrelevant awards. Duke Rosenberg will be nominated at most, and it is impossible to win the Best Director Little Golden Man."

Hearing him say this, the agent couldn't help but nod. This is a very simple truth. The trilogy is filmed and produced together. The college will throw heavyweight awards in the first part unless it gets water from its head.

"So..." Roger Albert's stern voice seemed to come from hell, "We don't need to do more in "The Rings Expedition" and "The Twin Towers", we keep all our strength to "Return of the King"!"

He snorted coldly, "As long as I am still alive, he will not want to win the best director!"

Now, Roger Albert sees it very clearly that Duke Rosenberg cannot leave big productions and turn to literary films, and wants to win the best director with commercial masterpieces. This is indeed possible, but if he joins most film critics to attack, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce his chance of winning.

To send the housekeeper away, Roger Albert called David Denby, who had a huge influence in the New York Film Critics Association, and Todd McCarthy, a veteran of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Although there is a more or less competitive relationship between the three, they have common interests in matters related to the critic industry.

A sniper operation started planning when "Return of the King" was still in the production stage.

By late July, when the North American box office of "The Rings Expedition" reached $426.11 million, the global box office officially exceeded the billion dollar mark. In addition to preparing a massive celebration party, Warner Bros. once again mobilized the media to conduct hot speculation. Even if the film has cooled down around the world, it still has profits to harvest, and at the same time, it is also preparing for next year's awards season.

"The Rings Expedition" has a global box office of more than one billion US dollars. Duke Rosenberg officially entered the Billion Club and became one of the only two directors in the world..."

"A film that changed the history of world film, a director who changed the whole world, Duke Rosenberg made the name of Lord of the Rings resound throughout the world, and even spread to the distant and closed East."

"Billion dollars are not the end, "The Ring Expedition" is climbing to a higher level..."

“There is a kind of cultural craze that has been brought about by movies called Lord of the Rings!”

Similar news reports are emerging in the media, whether it is the Internet, TV station, newspapers or magazines, you can see applause for Duke and the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings".

With this hot momentum, Duke made Warner Bros. release the first set of concept posters of "Twin Towers Shock", which aroused strong response and expectations from movie fans.

However, he himself turned his attention to Christopher Lee Rokencourt.
