Although Duke had some conflicts with Ivanka, and when Ivanka left in the car late at night, he was photographed by paparazzi surrounded in front of the Duke Manor, the next day, the focus of the media and public topics across the United States was still surrounding the Oscars. As the biggest winner of this year's Oscars, Duke and "Return of the King" must be the focus of attention.

"The biggest surprise of this year's Oscars is that there are no surprises!"

The headlines of the Washington Post entertainment edition are about the Oscars last night.

"The biggest surprise of the 76th Academy Awards is that there are so few accidents. The film "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" swept the Oscars ceremony on Sunday night and won 12 Little Golden Man, including Best Director and Best Picture."

"Duke Rosenberg's "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" had a global box office revenue of nearly $1.6 billion, and the film won all its 12 nominations, which surpassed the 1997 Titanic and 1959 "Ben Hur" award records. It was a night for the Lord of the Rings crew and Duke Rosenberg!"

Not only the Washington Post, but the focus of the entertainment editions of the three major newspapers in the United States is the Oscars.

"Last night in Western Time, the 76th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. The awards results did not reveal any unpopularity, and all major awards were won by the popular ones previously speculated by the outside world. The most surprising thing is that "The Lord of the Rings 3: Invincible of the King" actually won all 12 nominated units, breaking the record of the highest number of Oscars in "Titanic" and "Ben Hurricane", and creating a miracle that won every opportunity!"

"When the explosion-maker Duke Rosenberg took over the 11th Little Golden Man from Tom Cruise, the whole world held its breath. Although this young director missed the youngest Best Director record, no one could deny his greatness. Hollywood has since entered the era of Duke Rosenberg!"

Los Angeles Times

"The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" swept the Oscars, which is what everyone hopes for. For director Duke Rosenberg, this night was undoubtedly an "incredible night of ecstasy". This was a great victory for Duke Rosenberg and a victory for commercial films!"

The New York Times

Almost all mainstream media use legend and greatness to describe the gains of Duke and "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" at the Oscars.

Not only North American and Western media, but also the film channel of a national television station far away from the other side of the ocean. It also paid attention to the award ceremony and even had delayed playback.

When the award ceremony reached the end, the program commented like this.

"Steven Spielberg announced the winner of the Best Picture, "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" won the award! The Kodak Theater was in full swing, and the famous director Duke Rosenberg, who was loved by Chinese audiences, won a great victory. The recognition of the Oscars also made him one of the best film directors on the planet!"

"In this way, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" broke the winning records of "Ben Hur" and "Titanic" with 12 awards; set a new record for Oscar hit rate with 12 nominations; plus 13 nominations for "Lord of the Rings: Rings Expedition", 3 Golden Man and "Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers", 2 Golden Man, and the "Lord of the Rings" series won a total of 31 nominations. 17 Oscars, setting a new record for series nominations and awards, making the "Godfather" trilogy 28 nominations and 9 Golden Man's magical records completely obsolete!"

The famous "Watching Movies" magazine here specifically reports on the Duke and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

"On the afternoon of February 29th, Western Time, this Oscars opened without any suspense. As the director of the movie "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Duke Rosenberg is the most respectable person on the earth in this day."

"This most valuable director in the world, lifts Little Golden Man's Best Director, Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay three times a night, becoming a veritable winner!"

"As the winner of this year's Oscar, "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" belongs to the 'landscape movie' created by Duke Rosenberg with visual effects technology. Since technical awards are awarded to digital staff at the same time, "The Lord of the Rings" won back more than 20 Little Golden Man in one go."

"I don't know what a specific economic image of the trilogy has achieved a box office of more than 4 billion US dollars worldwide. But I know that this is a great magic trilogy, which has been released in mainland China one after another. It has won a total of more than 25,000 rmb national box offices!"

"I still can't forget it. In my movie-watching experience, I left the memory of Duke Rosenberg's Lord of the Rings trilogy. The experience of being shocked by the scenery you see on the wide screen from beginning to end is unprecedented. This is the charm of Hollywood. This is the charm of American blockbusters."

"There is no doubt that Duke Rosenberg is becoming a film master, a true master, and the means of expression that his mirror speech can provide are always the most genius and the most exciting."

"This Chinese director is named Duke Rosenberg. Although he is an American, he may be the most familiar American director. But do you know? Including the Lord of the Rings trilogy, his total total box office in his directorship career exceeded 7.5 billion US dollars, and he has successfully surpassed James Cameron, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, becoming the world's number one movie box office!"

"What's even more amazing is that it only took him twelve years and ten movies to do these things!"

"If Duke Rosenberg's biggest regret before this year is undoubtedly the lack of recognition of heavyweight awards, but at this Academy Awards ceremony, the King finally returned, and Duke Rosenberg was in power!"

"Fortunately, in June this year, the newly crowned Oscar best director will bring his new work "Hurricane Rescue" to Shanghai International Film Festival. This typical Duke Rosenberg-style action film will be released simultaneously in China and the United States. Moreover, due to the time difference, Chinese audiences will see this masterpiece before American audiences!"

"We look forward to the arrival of director Duke Rosenberg and his new work!"

In any case, Oscar's influence in North America and even the world cannot be underestimated. In addition to its huge glory, the unprecedented twelve small golden men can also be directly transformed into economic benefits.

Talking about money in front of the Oscars seems particularly vulgar, but look at the major Hollywood companies, especially the Miramax and Weinstein brothers, why are they really competing for the Oscars just for art and glory?

I believe that any normal person can make a judgment easily.

The most direct feedback on the Oscar effect in "Return of the King" is data.

This film has not yet completely dropped from North American theaters. The distributor Warner Brothers has made great efforts. There are only less than 300 theaters left in the film. On the second day of the Oscars, the North American theaters of "Return of the King" expanded again, reaching as many as 1,500!

The most important thing is that a lot of movie fans, influenced by the twelve little golden men, went to the theater one after another and watched the film again, which made the single-day box office, which was originally less than $10,000, exceed 500,000 in one fell swoop. After twelve days of screening, the North American box office figure, which had been around more than $1.590 billion for a long time, finally crossed the 600 million mark!

Although this situation is only a flash in the pan, "Return of the King" finally became the second film in North America to have a box office of more than $600 million and a global box office of more than $1.6 billion.

By mid-March, "Return of the King" was removed from the North American final screening area of ​​the world, creating a series of brilliant Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the most successful series of films of all time was born.

"The Ring Expedition" in North America is $473.15 million and the world is $1.132.14 million.

"Two Towers Shock" North America is $521.32 million, up to $1.312.88 million worldwide.

"Return of the King" is $64.55 million in North America and $1.610.15 million in the world.

The trilogy received a total of US$4 billion!

This is only part of the film's revenue. Although many peripheral products are still being sold and some of them have not been launched yet, as of mid-March 2004, the total peripheral sales revenue of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy exceeded US$3 billion!

In late March, the DVD discs of "Return of the King" were officially launched worldwide, and are still divided into $19.9 ordinary and $39.9 luxury. The sales volume in North America reached $165.77 million in the first week, and the sales volume in the first week of the world were $312.88 million!

This is far from the end of DVD. Duke and Warner Bros. plan to wait two to three years later, and then add a 120-minute trilogy suit with a total length of nearly 12 hours to continue the journey of making money.

Even in the newly launched video on-demand function of the sharing website, the Lord of the Rings trilogy can be paid on-demand. However, with the current network conditions, the effect can only be said to be very average.

Although Duke and Ivanka's relationship has not deteriorated, it has not improved much. However, both of them are relatively calm and rarely bring personal conflicts into work.

As time went by, the popularity of Oscars gradually dissipated. The little golden men were thrown by Duke in the showcase of the Duke Studio. For him, glory belongs only to the past, not to the future. He still has a long way to go. He never thought of stopping his own steps.

DC, Marvel, Transformers, etc., plans are already on his desk.

An old era is over, and a new era is coming! (To be continued...)
