v2 Chapter 469： The end of the traitor

On the day of the premiere, under the two-year warm-up of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers", the fanaticism and passion that fans have accumulated for a long time seems to have found an excellent way to vent, more than 100,000 in the US Movie fans gathered in Los Angeles to participate in the premiere in a carnival manner.

In order to watch "The Return of the King" in advance and compete to see the celebrity, fans lined up all night and set up tents to seize a favorable position.

At 8:30 in the morning, thousands of movie fans had already crowded the Avenue of Stars leading to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Wearing wizard hats and cloaks, the streets of the City of Angels became the middle-earth in the movie. Fans dressed up as hobbits, elves and orcs abound.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy showed strong influence, and the media responded enthusiastically to this event. Nearly 500 reporters from all over the world formed a huge reporting group.

For this event, the Los Angeles City Hall also gave full support. The Mayor of Los Angeles, Helen Clark, chartered a fan parade through the main streets of the city, and held an official welcome ceremony for the crew in the City Hall, and then the crew went to hold it. The premiere of the Chinese Grand Theater.

The streets of Los Angeles were flooded with posters bearing the characters of "The Lord of the Rings", and a huge poster of up to eight floors was hung in the Highland Center. ∟,

When the crew members stepped onto the red carpet one after another, it almost detonated the atmosphere.

A good start often means great success. "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" brings together the right time, place and people!

"I'm just a representative of a huge team, and I thank all the partners who have participated in the shooting!"

When being interviewed in the interview area. Duke didn't say much, leaving only this sentence. The atmosphere on the scene is enough for the media to write. The premiere is destined to steal most of the headlines of the entertainment media tomorrow.

Because the parade on the road delayed too much time, after the crew stood together and took the photo together, they were taken directly into the theater by Duke and Charles Rowan, waiting for the film to start.

At the same time, the fans gathered on the streets of Los Angeles swarmed away. The speed was staggering, but they did not go home. Instead, he walked toward the nearest theater, and there were three thousand advance shows at the same time as the premiere. No fan wants to see the final chapter of the trilogy in the first place.

Because it was a working day on Thursday, Brad Miller arrived at the theater a bit late, and rushed into the theater only five minutes before the film was released. Just after entering the large theater with more than 500 people. All he saw were densely packed human heads, and he couldn't find any empty seats.

Standing at the entrance of the theater, Brad Miller was very sure that the attendance rate must have exceeded 90%, but when he walked into the aisle and went around the theater to find a seat, he immediately overthrew it. With this idea, he just saw a seat in a very corner. The attendance here is almost full!

The attendance rate must have reached 99%!

Going around in a circle, sitting in the corner. Brad Miller thought so.

In a theater in Beverly Hills, Oliver Stone walked in early in the morning and chose a slightly forward position. With his identity and reputation, he could go to the premiere, but Oliver Stone didn't want to go. One is that the Lord of the Rings Studio did not invite him, and the other is that his project was blocked by Duke Rosenberg.

From "Gladiator" to the release of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Hollywood and the world have set off an epic movie craze. Oliver Stone has also participated in the craze. He and Anchor Bay Entertainment intend to The magnificent life of Alexander the Great was put on the big screen. Anchor Bay Entertainment raised more than $150 million for this and reached a preliminary agreement with Warner Bros. that the film will be released by Warner Bros.

However, not long ago, Warner Bros. vetoed the release of the movie. Oliver Stone got the news. During the review of Warner’s board of directors, Warner Bros. did this because of Duke Rosenberg’s strong opposition. Decided.

The project suddenly disappeared, which made Oliver Stone a little crazy. Although he had full opinions on Duke, he was also shooting epic films. He knew the power of the Lord of the Rings. He came over to take a look. "The Return of the King" can What kind of height can he push the epic film to, and what inspiration can he get from it?

The sky gradually darkened, and a car stopped in front of the Romi Cinema in Chicago. Roger Albert got out of the car unhurriedly and entered the cinema to pick up the tickets that he had already paid for, and head towards the biggest of them. Walked to one of the theaters.

Entering the theater, Roger Albert frowned slightly. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little uncomfortable when seeing so many people crowded in this extra-large theater. The rate almost means that the director he hates extremely will achieve another great success.

However, his top priority is not these, but to find a vacant seat.

There are too many people. Roger Albert walked through two aisles and saw an empty seat. After passing by, he asked a young man sitting outside, "Is there anyone here?"

"Sorry, someone is there." The young man looked at it, but showed nothing.

Roger Albert did not walk away, but turned his body slightly to let the light above his head completely illuminate his face. His face full of personality is a living sign in the Chicago area.

"Is there anything else?" Seeing that he hadn't left, the young man said again, "Someone is here!"

"I..." Roger Albert opened his mouth, just about to say something, a person in the front row heard their voices, looked back curiously, stood up immediately, and asked in surprise," Are you Mr. Albert?"

Upon hearing this, Roger Albert subconsciously raised his chin slightly, "It's me."

"So happy to meet you!"

The man turned his head and stabbed his companion next to him, "Go to the seat inside."

Then he said to Roger Albert, "There is another seat here, Mr. Albert, sit here."

Roger Albert nodded lightly and walked over. An inexplicable sense of satisfaction flashed in his heart. His face and name were still very useful.

"Hello, Mr. Albert."

Waiting for Roger Albert to sit down, the man in his forties took out a book from his pocket, "My name is Cork. I used to like your film reviews very much. Can you sign me?"

Roger Albert automatically ignored the previous vocabulary and wrote his name on his notebook.

"Hello, this is John..."

The younger man who was sitting here offered a hand, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Albert."

"Hello, John." Roger Albert nodded softly at him.

These two people really seemed to be his supporters. Before the film was released, they kept mentioning Roger Albert's previous glorious deeds, especially winning the Pulitzer Prize.

Roger Albert’s face gradually put a smile on, as the older generation of movie fans gradually withdrew, and in the 1980s, the stranger became the mainstream of the theater market. When he entered the theater to watch movies, it was no longer difficult to be caught as before. People watched and even complimented, and now I finally regained the feeling of the past.

Look, I'm not out of date yet, am I?

There was also a smile on his face strained from watching a movie made by a disgusting director.

At the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, during the period before the show, Duke was not free at all. People sitting around kept coming over to say hello, and simply socialized. Mrs. Leah, who had just arrived from New York in the morning, seemed to have something to ask him.

"Duke, I heard that you and Evie went to Stockholm?"

Duke never mentioned this to anyone. Hearing the question from his mother, he nodded and admitted, "Yes, Mom. I and Evie are just traveling around the world..."

He felt Ivanka squeeze her arm gently, knowing that she must have revealed this matter.

"See Nissen Rand?" Mrs. Leah asked again.

Duke smiled lightly and took his mother's arm. "He invited us to be a guest, and Evie and I had dinner over there."

"Mom, are you in contact with him?" He asked the doubt in his heart.

Mrs. Leah nodded, "After you became famous, he occasionally emailed me."

She patted Duke's hand lightly and sighed, "After so many years, some things are over and there is no need to become an enemy. If you want, you can also associate with him without worrying about me."

Duke didn't say anything, but shook his head firmly to his mother.

If Nissen Rand took the initiative to find him, he would of course not avoid seeing him, but he had no interest in seeing him if he took the initiative.

After all, his experience is extraordinary. The relationship with his mother is built up over time. How can a person like Nissen Rand, who has disappeared for more than 20 years, have feelings?

The other party is destined to be a passer-by in his life.

Probably guessing what Duke was thinking, Mrs. Leah finally whispered, "You have your own idea."

The big screen suddenly turned on, and the overhead lights went out one after another. Duke and his mother said nothing more, focusing completely on the upcoming movie.

"It's going to start!"

Just a dozen rows behind them, Jones and Curritos, who finally squeezed into the premiere, looked excited, happy like children.

The film’s usual Duke style has no long subtitles at all. After the titles of Warner Bros. and the Duke’s Studio flashed past, the film went directly to Isinger, who was destroyed by the tree man, and Gandalf, who was promoted to the white robe wizard, faced the White Council. Saruman, the former speaker.

There is no particularly huge title battle. The excitement of the first two films is enough to attract fans to watch it patiently. This is just a small conflict. Saruman, who was exiled in the original book, ushered in a more miserable fate. Lima was killed in a sneak attack, and the latter was also shot through by Legolas.

In a typical Western culture, no matter what kind of traitor it is, it will never end well. The changes here are entirely to cater to the trend of current cultural values. (To be continued...)
