v2 Chapter 445： Set your own record

Slightly breaking free and holding her arm, Ivanka turned her head and looked at her side. Duke was still asleep. She knew that her boyfriend had consumed too much energy to deal with the reporter last night and did not bother him, but just moved to the front of her forehead. He gave a false kiss, then tiptoed out of the bed, went into the bathroom to wash, then changed his clothes and went straight downstairs.

Because it was early, and the villa was very quiet, Ivanka walked to the computer by the floor-to-ceiling window, turned on the system, and prepared to see the response of "The Two Towers".

She didn't go to Duke's personal website, it was a focus of fans, and she knew that it must be a good comment without reading it.

Opened the Google homepage, Ivanka searched it, and entered the imdb website. On the eye-catching location of the homepage, I saw the poster of "The Two Towers", and clicked directly without any hesitation.

The first thing Ivanka saw was the rating of the movie. The early and midnight sessions have ended. There are quite a lot of users who rated it. The data displayed is as high as 25,788 people. The average score of "Two Towers" is 9.6 points!

"It's normal, isn't it?"

Muttering to himself, Ivanka smiled slightly, then looked down, and many rated users left comments, some of whom were senior fans.

"The connection between the story lines of "The Twin Towers ⊙↓, Raiders" uses classical montage techniques. The last shot of the previous story and the first shot of the latter are in the same visual line."

"In terms of character creation, there are many highlights in the film-Frodo is tempted by the Lord of the Rings, and the mental state of wandering and struggling makes the characters increase in thickness, but the most exciting thing is the new role of Gollum."

"The action scenes of this film are not as many or dense as the first episode, but the finale of the Battle of the Helm Valley still lives up to expectations, and its posture is worth the price of the movie. This scene not only has the full picture of the battlefield, but also does not ignore the encounter of swords and swords. Details. The composition of the full-view lens is majestic, allowing you to hold your breath and forget that a lot of the content in the frame is actually computer animation."

This is a very pertinent evaluation, Ivanka continued to look down, and then saw Duke's brainstorming fans swiping the screen.

"A Genesis in a Magic Movie!"

"The picture is spectacular and needs to be repeated.

"Although I don't like watching fantasy movies. But I have to say that the Battle of Helm Valley is too exciting."

"This film is very well connected, the fighting scenes are just right, the scenes are magnificent, but it doesn't make people tired. Although the literary play is a bit lengthy, the story has fully unfolded, making full preparations for the arrival of the final chapter."

"After watching 1, how can I miss 2, and how can I miss 3 next year!"

"The darkness before dawn in "The Two Towers". The desperate defense of the city, the complexity and courage unique to humans, made people cry!"

"Director Duke Rosenberg is definitely a wizard. He showed his extraordinary talent in this film, making "The Two Towers", which is very difficult to narrate, look natural and smooth, and let people understand the later story. full of expectation."

There was footsteps on the other side of the stairs, Ivanka turned to look, Tina Fei walked down the stairs. He also holds a document in his hand, which should be the fax just received.

"Morning. Evie."

"Morning, Tina."

After the two greeted them, Tina Fei put the file on the coffee table, looked this way, and asked, "Has Duke still not gotten up?"

"Well. I'm still asleep." Ivanka nodded, "I was a little tired from dealing with too many reporters yesterday."

It wasn't just yesterday that I dealt with reporters, she knew very well the time before the show. Duke ran announcements everywhere to promote the film. Her work was very busy. Even if she came to Los Angeles three days ago, she had never met Duke.

If it weren't for the premiere in Los Angeles, Duke might not be sleeping in the Duke Manor now.

Ivanka knew Duke's attitude towards work, and it wasn't until the film was released last night that he relaxed a little.

The director’s job is really stressful. No wonder Anna Prinz doesn’t want to direct the film alone. This kind of pressure is indeed a bit scary for female directors.

"Tina," Ivanka asked, looking at the document, "is that the latest statistics?"

"Yes, the Lord of the Rings Studio sent a fax in the early morning." Tina Fei picked up the file and walked over. "I've been exhausted these few days. I overslept last night and saw it this morning."

With that, she walked to Ivanka and handed over the document.

This is not a business secret. After Ivanka took it, he quickly flipped through it, and then sighed heavily.

"It's really no surprise at all!"

Tina Phila took a chair next to him, sat down, shrugged, and said, "Is it a good thing that there are no accidents?"

Nodding lightly, Ivanka heard footsteps again, and Duke walked down the stairs. He was wearing sportswear, as if he was going to go around in the garden as usual.

"Hi, dear." Ivanka immediately stood up and walked over, "Why don't you sleep for a while?"

"Can't sleep." Duke rubbed his forehead as he walked down the stairs. "The biological clock woke me up."

He continued to walk towards the door, "I'm going to run... Let's walk around today."

"I'll go with you." Ivanka followed, and brought the statistics.

The two of them crossed the stone road in front of the villa, walked into the garden, and walked along the path between palm trees to the beach. The rising sun had just climbed the treetops, and the sea had not yet been heated. The breeze here is a rare time of the day suitable for outdoor activities.

"Lord of the Rings Workshop faxed it." Ivanka gestured to Duke for the information, but didn't give him the meaning, "Want to hear, dear?"

Duke pointed to his ear, "It seems that I will be lazy in the future."

Ivanka smiled, turned from the path to the wooden table under the pavilion, sat on the wicker chair, opened the document, Duke also walked over and sat opposite her.

"In terms of cinemas, 27,662 people submitted survey feedback, with a positive rate of 96% and a cinemascore score of a+"

Having said that, Ivanka stopped suddenly and asked curiously. "What is cinemascore?"

"Cinemascore is a market research company based in Las Vegas. It mainly investigates the ratings of audiences after watching movies, and its report results are a basis for predicting box office revenue. The highest rating is a+ and the lowest is f."

After a brief explanation, Duke added, “This is a professional research company that has risen very rapidly in recent years. The data it releases is one of the important basis for the adjustment of theater chains and distribution companies.”

Ivanka nodded. Continue reading the statistics for Duke, "Rotten Tomatoes included 48 professional film reviews, with a freshness rate of 78%. Many film critics gave bad reviews, such as Roger Albert and Big film critics like David Denby."

She blinked her eyes deliberately, "Honey, do you want to listen to their film reviews?"

"I don't have the habit of looking for abuse with ears." Duke waved his hand, "Talk about other aspects."

"Okay." Ivanka also knows that Duke doesn't care about the opinions of film critics. "The movie popcorn audience love index is 94%. The metacritic website counts 77 entertainment reporters' scores, with an average score of 88. ."

Duke knows what such a high audience and market index means.

Sure enough, Ivanka didn't make any further mystery, and directly said, "Yesterday's 2,145 advance venues had an average attendance rate of 84% and a box office of 4.07 million U.S. dollars. A single box office exceeded 1,800 U.S. dollars!"

Duke squeezed his chin, after experiencing the explosion of "The Fellowship of the Ring". He and Warner have expected this result. Although they did not use all the theaters in advance, the theaters have full confidence in the film. Almost all the theaters showing "The Two Towers" are in the largest theater of the theater, otherwise they will not. Get such an excellent early box office.

"Congratulations, dear." Ivanka's voice interrupted Duke's distraction. ""The Two Towers" broke your box office record for the midnight show!"

"What?" Duke didn't hear it just now.

Ivanka deliberately showed an expression of dissatisfaction, and then said, "The "Two Towers" won the box office of 9.89 million U.S. dollars in the 3876 theaters in the midnight field, breaking the 9.47 million of "The Fellowship of the Ring". The original record of the dollar!"

"This is good news!" Duke shook Ivanka's hand gently. "We should go back and have a drink to celebrate."

"Sorry, I was losing weight recently." Ivanka gave an apologetic smile, "Alcohol is prohibited!"

"Evie, you don't have to do this."

Duke knows very well that Ivanka has always minded what he once commented on her figure, so fitness, diet and weight loss have not disappeared from her schedule.

Ivanka couldn't listen to Duke's words in this regard, "This is what I am willing to do."

She looked at her watch and pulled Duke to stand up, "The time is almost up, let's go back to have breakfast. You need to eat and rest regularly."

The two walked back, arm in arm, but didn't go far, they saw Tina Fei hurriedly looking for it, obviously in a hurry.

"Did something happen, Tina?" Duke asked.

Tina Fey took a breath and said quickly, "Nancy, Pani, and the Lord of the Rings studio all called. Suddenly a large number of bad reviews of "Two Towers" broke out on the Internet. They not only invaded imdb. , There is also a trend of spreading to other websites, and your personal website, which has also been brushed out with a lot of bad reviews!"

Her words immediately caught Duke's attention. He speeded up his pace and walked towards the villa. The Internet can make a movie, and sometimes it can have a huge negative impact on a movie.

Ivanka followed, and took the time to ask Tina Fei, "I just went to imdb to read it. Although there are bad reviews, there are very few."

"It was just brushed out during this time period when you were walking." Tina Fei replied, "It appeared densely in a short time!" (To be continued...)
