The Lord of the Rings trilogy, if we start from the formal communication with Charles Rowan in Los Angeles, this series took Duke seven years to do it. It was a huge project like a mountain, and it was more complicated than a mess. With unprecedented investment, Duke faced more than huge pressure.⊥,

Only those close to him know how many midnights he tossed and turned, but no one knows that he was awakened by a nightmare during his sleep, and what woke him up was the situation he might face after the project failed.

There is no easy and natural success in this world. Duke is very clear that his special experience is important, but his decades of cautious efforts and perseverance are equally important.

If he doesn't work hard, persist, learn, or charge, he will never be able to make the long-fragmented image memories in his mind into one movie after another.

Not to mention that he is just an ordinary head and does not have the ability to remember everything, even if a movie can be remembered from beginning to end?

As long as people who don’t have their heads to understand that watching movies and making movies are completely different things.

Every time he produces, especially large productions that often invest 50 million or even 100 million US dollars, he is carrying tremendous pressure.

He has a tough personality, and although the mountain-like pressure makes people anxious and insomnia, he has never crushed him.

He worked hard, and if he worked hard in this world, he might not succeed, but if he didn't work hard, he would not have any chance of success.

He has a clear goal. Since more than ten years ago, he has known what he is best at and has been working hard for it. No matter it is a woman or other temptation, he cannot stop.

After twelve years of entering Hollywood, Duke finally ushered in the most glorious moment of his directorial career.

"Return of the King" has shown an unmatched momentum in North America and global markets!

Entering the third weekend of May, "Return of the King" met the new film of 20th Century Fox in North America. On Friday, May 16, "Sniper Telephone Booth" was officially released in more than 2,400 theaters. The fate of this film is plagued by many companies one after another, and the director Joe Schumacher, who finally got involved in the investment. After making the film into an independent film, he encountered a sniper incident in the United States. The publisher, 20th Century Fox, repeatedly postponed the film.

Last year, I finally found a suitable schedule, but not long after, I collided with "Return of the King" with Warner's release date.

However, Twentieth Century Fox has not changed the date. First, the film has been postponed for too long. Second, the release of such small investments is not worth their efforts.

After the release of "Sniper Phone Booth", he almost killed the director of the series Joe Schumacher with "Forever" and "Batman and Robin", which received consistent professional praise from his films.

Perhaps in the hearts of film critics, it is a matter of praise to be praised for a commercial director who can suddenly wake up from their endless mean attacks and guidance. As for the quality of the film, it is second.

"The film has a strong dramatic meaning. The director almost abandons the richness of the spatial level brought by the transformation of multiple scenes that the film is good at, but the limitations brought by the lens framework have a deeper meaning. The film is straightforward!"

Roger Albert showed nine points for the video in his column.

Another well-known film critic, David Denby, also praised the film and gave a high score of 8.5.

"Overall, the script of this movie can only be said to be second-rate, while the director and actors control the rhythm of the entire film, making the film an absolutely first-class good work."

On the Rotten Tomato website, which specializes in collecting reviews of film critics as the basis, the freshness of the film is as high as 87%, while the freshness of "Return of the King" is only 74%, and it is still declining.

If you only look at this data, "Sniper Telephone Booth" is definitely a movie with higher screening rates from theaters to filming than "Return of the King".

However, there are more than 2,400 theaters in "Sniper Telephone Booth", but the screening rate of all chain theater companies in North America is less than 10%, and they refuse to increase the screen number for this film because they want to ensure that the screening rate of "Return of the King" is nearly 80%!

Cinema companies never use the ratings of film critics and the freshness of rotten tomatoes as the basis for filming. In several aspects that can be their basis, the performance of "Sniper Telephone Booth" can only be said to be average.

The audience praise rate of inemasore theaters is only 71%, the audience rating of the theater audience is ‘b+’, the audience loves popcorn audience 64%, and the media rating of the meta Japanese ti 48 entertainment reporters average rating of 67 points!

As a movie that completely suppresses it, "Return of the King" has an absolute advantage even after half a month of release. The audience praise rate of inemasore theaters is 92%, the audience rating of the theater is 'a+', the audience rating of popcorn is 94%, and the media rating of 82 entertainment reporters is 88 points on average!

The subsequent weekend box office also proved the correctness of the choice of theaters. "Sniper Telephone Booth" received US$3.21 million in 2,433 theaters in the first three days of the first weekend.

On the third weekend of "Return of the King", the number of theaters in North America is still 4,013, with a slash of 39.89 million US dollars in three days!

Adding to the $34.21 million you earned in the previous three working days, the cumulative box office of "Return of the King" in North America has reached $378.1 million!

The market once again proves that film critics can get out of the summer season.

Overseas, in the past week, "Return of the King" has scored another $11.26 million, pushing the global box office of the film through the $1 billion mark, reaching $1 billion!

In just less than twenty days, "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" completed a feat of over one billion dollars in the global box office!

However, no matter how popular the film is, it will eventually decline. After the new week begins, the box office of "Return of the King" dropped to $6.5 million on weekdays, and it showed a slight decline.

But Duke and Warner have no dissatisfaction or surprises, which is a normal law in the market.

Of course, continuing to promote publicity is an inevitable task. After a video conference between Duke and Warner Brothers, the promotional expenses of "Return of the King" increased from $50 million to $80 million. If necessary, they will continue to increase investment.

Without enough investment, there will be no more output. Not to mention large productions like the Lord of the Rings, Hollywood has successfully produced small profits in recent years. Which one does not have astronomical promotional and marketing expenses after it?

Just as Duke was walking around Australia and flew to Europe with the crew, he received a message from Warner UK branch.

“Because of the great success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and your contribution to promoting British culture.”

On the business plane that had just taken off after refueling, Tina Fee said to Duke, "The British royal family is considering awarding you a medal."

"Sir Honor?" Duke asked.

"Yes." Tina Fee reminded him, "You are not a British man and you will definitely not give you a higher title."

"Um."

Duke nodded, "Jazz Honor is the so-called "private r". He remembers that Ian McLean has won such a title. To be precise, "Jazz Honor is not a rampant in the sports and entertainment industry, nor is it a rare thing.

If the British royal family is willing to give it to him, Duke will definitely take it away. If he doesn't want to, he doesn't care.

With his current status and status, such titles that are almost overwhelming do not matter if they have more or less.

"Tina, remember to inform Robin when getting off the plane." Duke pulled a blanket and was about to sleep for a while. Before going to bed, he reminded, "I will take time to go to the Harry Potter crew."

The series was paused for a while, and after the young actors passed the voice change period, the money-making journey started again. Robin Grand, Joanna Rowling and Harry Potter Studios finalized a new director candidate as early as the beginning of the year. The result was not surprising at all. They once again chose Mexican director Alfonso Caron.

Of course, this Mexican director is just an over-select. Now Joanna Rowling's voice in the crew is increasing. Duke and Warner Bros. have also promised her that she will eventually use a British director to complete the series.

As for who to choose, like Alfonso Caron, Duke does not intend to intervene directly. After the success of the series, as long as the last few movies are not a catastrophic problem, the possibility of failure is extremely small.

Joanna Rowling also tentatively asked him to take over, but Duke chose to refuse without hesitation. Now, for the director, this series has many similarities with "007". Few people are willing to take over the truly famous director.

What's more, Duke's next plan has been decided, and it will be a few years later if it is completed.

The Batman trilogy will definitely not be produced using the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Duke plans to shoot three times, and in Warner Bros., in order to avoid risks, it is impossible to agree to invest so much money to shoot and produce at one time.

For filming, first observing the market's reaction, and then deciding whether to continue, is the wisest choice for film companies.

After arriving in London, Duke met with the crew who came here early and started to busy themselves with announcements again. The director, he did not mind using himself as a promotional headline. Since the film promotion period, he has been working hard to win headlines in various media.

He participated in two events in London and accepted an exclusive interview with BB. Duke also received invitations from some London celebrities to participate in a celebrity party.
