"One mirror to the end?"

After the banquet, Duke shook his head upon hearing Tina Fey's words, "Don't worry about him."

Then, Duke turned his head and said to the housekeeper Emma, ​​"In the future, if there are such people, let Bruce and the others drive them out."

"Let's go back and rest."

Duke pulled Ivanka out of the banquet hall and walked towards the living room. After a night of entertainment, both of them were inevitably a little tired.

After pouring two glasses of water, Ivanka sat next to Duke, leaned on him, and asked curiously, "What is a mirror to the end?"

"One shot to the end, that is, the shot does not cut." Duke simply explained a few words, "A real one shot movie cannot be shot at all. As long as one person makes a mistake, everything has to be restarted. It is very difficult to shoot. Hollywood usually refers to one shot to the end, which generally refers to movies composed of super long shots.”

There are really very few movies that do not change the lens and do not edit, and none of them can achieve a relatively wide reputation.

One shot is indeed a technique praised by professionals, but Duke has no interest in it. Not to mention the difficulty, the film is doomed to be a slow-paced literary film just because of the lack of editing.

He never thought about investing or shooting literary films.

After the banquet, since the post-production of "The Return of the King" has been completed, and it is still far away from the release, Duke can briefly end his busy work and accompany Ivanka on vacation. He plans to travel around the world from east to west starting from Hawaii , Turn around in the world-famous big cities, and return to North America until Christmas.

Of course, there is no need to go to countries like New Zealand and Australia, which have been there for a long time.

Duke and Ivanka leave North America. The launch of the follow-up products of "The Two Towers" did not have any delay. In November, the original soundtrack album of the film was officially released, and the Lord of the Rings concert also kicked off again. Compared with "The Fellowship of the Ring" Both have improved.

The situation is very obvious, with the release of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers".And one episode has been wonderful, and the audience's expectations for "The Return of the King" have been raised to a very high level.

"That's a good thing, David."

As the new awards season draws near, film critics from all over the world have also begun to concentrate on Los Angeles. Roger Ebert spoke to David Denby, the chief film critic of The New Yorker, "The higher the expectations. When the film fails to meet The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment."

David Denby picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and said remindingly, "Don't forget. He's Duke Rosenberg. Although I don't like him very much, I admit that his vulgar films fit the bill." The appetite of those vulgar audiences."

"Why were the first two parts of The Lord of the Rings so successful?" Roger Ebert asked, and then gave the answer. "One of the most important points is undoubtedly realistic special effects and magnificent scenes."

See David? Denby nodded.Roger Ebert also said, "The Two Towers almost achieved the ultimate in special effects and big scenes. If in "The Return of the King", Duke Rosenberg can't surpass himself. Even just maintain the "Twin Towers" The level of The Raiders will surely arouse the dissatisfaction of the audience, and then our chance will come!"

David Denby thought for a few seconds, then said, "Don't forget, Roger, our influence in the summer file is already very small."

"That's true." Roger Albert laughed, "However, there must be a lot of people in Hollywood who want to see him and Warner suffer. Other companies really want to see Duke Rosenberg take the annual triple Crown, even making "Return of the King" the next "Titanic"?"

"As long as there is a problem with the film, attacks from other companies are bound to flood in. This is almost inevitable!"

Roger Ebert seemed to have regained the glory of the 80s, and said vigorously, "And we mainly attack him during the awards season. As long as the group of professional film critics still exists, we can't let him win the best director!"

As Roger Ebert said, all major Hollywood companies know that a super box office bomb is brewing now, and they just wait for the detonation in the summer next year. From the analysis of the two bombs that have already appeared, next year's The power of a bomb is bound to be astonishing, and reasonable people will try to avoid that bomb as much as possible.

"Has Warner's release schedule come out?"

In the office of Universal Pictures, Ron Mayer got a little angry, and said to the person in charge of the distribution department opposite, "I don't care what method you use, get the exact release time of "The Return of the King" as soon as possible!"

"Our people are already working hard." The executive was also quite helpless, "Warner Bros. is going to discuss with Duke Rosenberg on the release time, but Duke and his girlfriend are traveling around the world. I won’t be able to return to North America until the end of December.”

"Travel around the world?" Ron Mayer seemed to be going crazy, "Call Nancy Josephson, I don't care what method you use, you must find out when Duke wants the film to be released within a week!"

The supervisor walked out of the office quite helplessly. Ron Mayer took the water glass and took a big sip of water before he felt the anger in his heart gradually subside.

It's no wonder he is so anxious. In the summer of next year, Universal Pictures will release three high-investment films, "Van Helsing", "Fake God" and "Fast and Furious 2". In order to reduce their own influence, these three films are bound to be released. It was released in May, June, and July. Without knowing the release time of "The Return of the King", Universal was unable to determine the specific release dates for the three films.

However, according to the habit of previous years, "The Return of the King" must be in May, and his plan is to throw "Fast and Furious 5" in May. After all, this is a niche film with relatively low investment. As long as one or two weekends are separated from "The Return of the King", it will not be particularly impacted.

Although the 2002 Thanksgiving Christmas file has not yet opened, many companies are already preparing for the 2003 summer file, and Walt Disney is one of them. Cook Dick, the company's executive president in charge of film affairs, is also facing A similar conundrum to that of Ron Mayer.

Disney will also have major productions released in the summer next year, and they are all super masterpieces with a production cost of more than [-] million US dollars, so there is no room for mistakes.

In the past two years, fantasy epic films started by "The Lord of the Rings" have quietly emerged, and major companies have followed up this genre. For example, Universal Pictures produced "Van Helsing", while Walt Disney followed suit with "Van Helsing". Pirates of the Caribbean".

Cook Dick is not very optimistic about "Pirates of the Caribbean", but Disney has already invested heavily. One can imagine.

Another film is slightly better. There is a huge difference between the audiences of Pixar's "Finding Nemo" and "The Return of the King". Movies are generally released in mid-to-late May and mid-to-early June. "Finding Nemo" must be placed in these two time slots. How to choose depends on whether "The Return of the King" is released in early May or late May.

The phone rang suddenly, and Cook Dick stopped thinking and picked up the phone.

"Cook!"

The voice of Steve Jobs sounded through the earpiece, "I inform you that "Finding Nemo" will be completed on time! At the same time, I remind you that the farther away from the works of that lunatic Duke Rosenberg, the better! I don't want Pixar's work colliding with that lunatic in summer!"

"Steve, I think so too." Cook Dick said helplessly, "The problem is that we don't know the exact release time of "Return of the King" now."

"Let me remind you of one thing, Duke is a shareholder of Marvel."

Hearing Steve Jobs' words, Cook Dick's eyes lit up immediately. After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed a number and learned that 2th Century Fox had adjusted the schedule of "X-Men [-]" to early June When it was released, I immediately understood it in my heart.

"The Return of the King" should be released in early May, just like "The Two Towers".

Cook Dick couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, thinking of the recent undercurrents in Hollywood, he shook his head again.

A film has not yet been released, but just the schedule arrangement can make the whole Hollywood turbulent. Besides Duke Rosenberg, who else can do it?

He is very sure that although countless people hope that Duke Rosenberg will be unlucky, no one dares to let his own film collide with "The Return of the King" head-on.

After Duke received a call from Nancy Josephson in Dubai, he briefly communicated with Doug Walter. "The Return of the King" was officially confirmed to be released in the summer of next year, and then it was announced on the instant sharing the news.

"How can I thank you?"

In the presidential suite of the Burj Al Arab, Ivanka was lying on the soft thick blanket, looking at the laptop screen. The information released by Duke had more than 50,000 views in less than half an hour. He raised his eyebrows.

Duke was lying on his back. Like Ivanka, he was not wearing any clothes. His eyes, which were originally looking at the ceiling, turned to Ivanka's snow-white buttocks, then moved up bit by bit, and finally landed on the pair. On the full red lips.

Seemingly noticing Duke's eyes, Ivanka suddenly stuck out her tender tongue and licked it slowly on her lips...

"Are you seducing me..." Duke muttered, moved to her side, and said to the bright red lips, "Can you do it again, dear?"

Ivanka leaned over and pecked lightly on his lips. The rain of kisses moved down the chin, neck, and chest, and finally the long blond hair covered Duke's entire lower abdomen. (to be continued~^~)
