As time goes by, as "Return of the King" is getting closer and closer, Duke has also begun to become high-profile. Not only does he appear frequently in the media, but he also keeps publishing the latest news on the Internet through personal websites and instant sharing accounts. Even though "The Rings Expedition" and "The Twin Towers" have already made enough warm-up for the third part, the publicity work is still not negligent at this critical stage before its release. +◆+◆,

Duke also specifically accepted interviews from the media. Now the influence of the Internet is getting bigger and bigger. In addition to interviews from traditional media, he specially conducted a live interview broadcast on the Internet.

As for the interviewer, of course, the rich and poor people did not flow to outsiders, so he chose an instant sharing website.

Although the interview was conducted in the form of pictures and text, it easily attracted nearly 800,000 people to participate on the day of the interview. There were not many opportunities to participate in asking questions and communicate with top Hollywood directors.

Especially during the last interactive session, the traffic of the instant sharing website skyrocketed to nearly one million people!

Of course, Duke couldn't answer everyone's questions, so he could only choose some of them from the website.

"Duke, do you often go online?"

"Of course, the Internet is an important base for me to understand the dynamics and movie viewing needs of movie fans. And I can also see some of the comments below on my personal website and instantly. For example, after the Oscars, everyone has been upset for me. I am here to thank everyone for their support!"

These remarks have attracted many people to post.

“Duke has been following us!”

"It turns out that he saw our voices."

After skimming these messages, the host chose another question.

"The epic war scenes can be seen in both the DVD disc and the trailer that have been released. Will it surpass the Battle of Helmet Valley?"

"Compared with Minastiris' offensive and defensive battles, the Battle of Perrin Plains and the final Battle of Black Gate in "Return of the King", the Battle of Helmet Valley is just an appetizer."

"Can we disclose some secrets about the crew to us?"

"Let me think about it, there is. At the end of the crew, the main actors all received gifts from me, such as Vigo Motson took Aragon's sword, Orlando Bloom got Legolas' bow, Andy Serkins and Elia Wood both got a string of prop ornaments from the Lord of the Rings, and until now they both thought they had obtained unique..."

This online interview lasted for three hours, not only attracted the attention of ordinary movie fans, but also many reporters from traditional media used instant sharing website accounts to participate in it in order to obtain first-hand hot information. At the peak of the website, the traffic once reached the 1 million mark.

It can be said that this is a win-win event.

However, Duke is just one part of Warner Bros.'s huge propaganda offensive.

Three weeks before "Return of the King" was released, in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, Warner Bros. and the New Zealand government jointly held a huge Rings parade. More than 5,000 people participated in the parade alone, and all the actors of the Rings Expedition appeared in this grand parade. The scale of the parade and the number of visitors attracted even surpassed the National Day parade in New Zealand.

Originally, the New Zealand government wanted to win the global premiere of "Return of the King", but Duke was not Peter Jackson, the fat New Zealand man. Whether it was in terms of influence or concerns about actual publicity effects, the premiere of the film was still placed in North America by him.

North America is its foundation and is also the largest vote in the world.

Even so, the New Zealand government has actively cooperated with Lord of the Rings Studio. The reason is very simple. Since the release of "The Rings Expedition", the number of people traveling to New Zealand around the world has tripled more than doubled!

All these prompted the New Zealand government to fully cooperate with the crew's publicity.

The huge parade in New Zealand has just passed a week, and as late April approached, Warner Bros. released a super killer.

"Welcome to nb TV. The songs released in this issue come from the upcoming "Return of the King"..."

Brad Miller had already learned from the advertisement that there would be an important program of "Return of the King" tonight. He was waiting in front of the TV early, but the host's long-lasting and long-lasting words were quite annoying. Fortunately, the other party did not delay for too long.

"That's right, this is the theme song of "Return of the King". Please enjoy "The Last Farewell" below!"

The final separation?

Just hearing this name, Brad Miller felt a little sad. Yes, "Return of the King" is the final chapter of the trilogy. The series that has accompanied them for three years is about to say goodbye to them in the summer!

"I saw the sky fading away and the dusk gradually rise,

I heard the sound of the wind like sighing,

When the snow feathers fall to cover my old friend's body,

I whispered this last parting…”

A gentle humming sounded, and the song was filled with a faint sadness, which made people unable to stop thinking about the scene of parting with friends and relatives.

Then, the picture shines, and familiar characters and scenes appear one after another.

Frodo Baggins smiled innocently and kindly, but shouldered the heavy burden of the Supreme Lord of the Ring and embarked on a difficult journey.

Sam was taciturn, but he could always help Frodo at the most critical moment.

Meli and Pipin are two troublemakers. When they should be brave, they never lack courage.

Aragon looked vicissitudes, and Polomil's death brought him on the road to the return of the king.

Legolas is light and elegant, Jinli is fierce and brave, Gandalf is wise and calm...

Listening to the singing and looking at the flashing scene, Brad Miller felt a deep reluctance in his heart. Is the three years of knowing each other and companionship about to end? Is this magical journey really going to end? Why did he feel sad...

"Walking through the mountains and rivers,

All kinds of pains have been experienced,

No regrets or regrets, never forget them,

Who and I will overcome the hardships...

Even though you and I are following you all the way, there will be a time when the song ends and people are dispersed."

With the deep sadness of parting, the scene switched from the actor in front of the scene to the behind-the-scenes. This was a real farewell, and the filming had just ended. One actor walked over and hugged the young director deeply. Everyone was reluctant to leave, and they seemed to want to interrupt this magical journey.

However, no matter how long the road is, there is an end. Although we follow each other, there is also a time when the song ends and people are dispersed!

The singing and the content of the picture are simply a powerful tool for sensation. With Brad Miller approaching his 50s, of course it can be seen that this is sensational, but he is willing to follow this emotion. He is reluctant to end the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He needs to taste more fantasies of Middle-earth. He wants this series to go on forever!

Separation is easy to say, but when you really have to come to the front of you, you realize it is so difficult!

The final chapter of the Lord of the Rings trilogy has arrived!

When the song ended, Frodo closed the parchment book and the picture turned completely dark. Brad Miller suddenly felt something stuck in his heart, some expectation, some reluctance, some sourness...

His favorite movie is about to end!

How could it end so soon? He felt that it had just begun, but suddenly realized that it had reached the end...

It was not just Brad Miller, but Duke carefully prepared this MV, which was pushed to all over the world through TV stations and online videos at a crazy speed.

After seeing Laura in New York, she made a phone call with red eyes and notified her friends and classmates that she would go to the early stage together!

Krish from Los Angeles once protested against the Lord of the Rings, but at this time he wished that the film could continue to be filmed and never ended!

David from Britain quietly wiped away his tears and vowed that he would go to the theater even if the end of the world came!

Nasri, France, rushed to the streets and vented his reluctance in his heart by shouting!

In order to ensure enough energy to welcome the final chapter, Japan's Izumijiro Nakamura will not go to romance action movies in the next few weeks!

After watching MV, Petterson from New Zealand decided to go to all the shooting locations before the film was released!

Renato of Brazil took out all the coins he had accumulated and calculated how many times he could go and see them!

While everyone is doing these things, they are still doing the same thing, calling to book tickets for "Return of the King"!

The summer vacation has not yet begun, and theaters have become busy.

At amg's headquarters, Lynch, who is in charge of theater business, was yelling at the phone, "No matter what method you use, on the day of the official release on May 2, the number of theaters and screening rates of other films must be reduced to the minimum value in the contract. I want amg to invest all the resources that can be invested in "Return of the King"! Don't say that you can't see the benefits this video will bring to the company!"

At the distant headquarters of Emperor Entertainment Group, the newly appointed eO Rodriguez is also arranging similar work for his subordinates.

"There is only one principle. Where there are theaters belonging to the Emperor Group, "Return of the King" must be released! Whether it is art theaters or commercial theaters, a single screen theater can only screen "Return of the King"! There must be no less than three screen theaters on multiple theaters and theaters! The theaters with the most seats and the most advanced facilities in the Emperor Entertainment Group are all classified as "Return of the King"!"

The three major theater chains in the United States do not care about the calls from other film companies or brokerage companies. They ignore all the suggestive words. Even a fool can see that after the preheating of "The Rings Expedition" and "The Twin Towers", the market's expectations for "Return of the King" have reached the highest level. This film will inevitably bring huge benefits to theater companies!

“Cinema companies are actively cooperating,”

Warner Bros.’s new EO Doug Walter, who gave Duke a very bright smile, said, “We don’t have to do much work at all.”

Duke is very calm. Like film companies, theater companies, they are sharks that only when they smell blood.

"How many theaters are there this time?" he asked.

"4,013!" Doug Walter said excitedly, "This is the first movie in North America that has been opened for more than 4,000 theaters! Even if it is in advance, there are 3,000 episodes!"

"Return of the King" also did not hold any preview, and it also used a distribution strategy similar to "Twin Towers Shock". In addition to North America, the film will also be released in more than 70 countries and regions in Asia, Europe, Australia and Latin America.

The knock on the door suddenly rang, and Tina Fee pushed the door and walked in, saying to Duke, "I just got a news. After the announcement ended last night, Orlando Bloom was beaten!" (To be continued...)
