Vol 2 Chapter 401: He is too scary

"What? You want to withdraw from our protest?
Walking to the junction of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Boulevard, Clichy looked at Brad Miller with an incredible look and reminded, "Don't forget, Bly, you initiated this protest first!"
"I'm worried that the film will destroy the original." Brad Miller was calm, obviously not impulsive, "I have watched the film, "The Fellowship of the Fellowship" does have some changes, but all the plots in the film are more The original work is even more exciting!"
He emphasized again, "It turned my fantasy into a realistic picture!"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Pete echoed loudly, "The film is unexpectedly good-looking, so please stop protesting and watch the film first."
"No, I won't give up protesting!"
Thinking of the benefits he had received, Klich insisted, "As a qualified book fan, I should protest all adaptations of the Lord of the Rings!"
The disputes of the top figures have spread to the ears of other people. Most of them are hard-core book fans, and many of them are called by Brad Miller. Now the brains are shaken, and they are also beginning to turmoil.
"The film is really so good?"
"Brad is a [, staunch anti-adapter, he said it was very good..."
"We better go take a look."
"Well, there seems to be a midnight show tonight. After a while, we will buy tickets directly..."
Brad Miller faintly knew something about Clichy. Seeing that the differences could not be resolved, he simply said loudly, "I officially launched a protest against the movie version of The Lord of the Rings..."
"And me!" Pete said.
The two exchanged glances, and Miller continued, "I'm very sorry, because of some stubborn and conservative ideas. Let everyone wasted so much time and energy, but I still have to say that the film is more than the limit you can imagine. Be exciting!"
After speaking, he stopped staying, and returned to the Chinese Grand Theater with Pete. Ready to watch the next midnight scene!
The assembled crowd was slowly dispersing, and many of them were curious about Brad Miller's words and deeds, and they even followed.
This massive protest organization inevitably embarked on a road of division.
Some people choose to leave, some people choose to continue to protest, and some people choose a theater nearby to see how exciting the film is, which can change the position of Brad Miller, such a diehard.
Midnight in Western time is approaching, from San Diego to Los Angeles to San Francisco. All the theaters did not become quiet because of the approaching late night, but because of the influx of large numbers of movie fans, they became extremely lively.
Outside the Santa Clara Cinema in San Francisco Bay, Zhou Xin is busy in the store and constantly giving advice to the boss.
"Midnight screening is about to start, Boss Ke, with my experience selling "The Matrix", we should put the peripheral products of Duke's new film on the most prominent position on the shelf!"
"George. That's right!" The young boss Ke is obviously also of Chinese origin, and he looked outside through the glass window. "There are several large chain theaters on this street. Our store is located right in the middle of them. If the peripheral products of "The Lord of the Rings" can sell "The Matrix", this time..."
"Boss, I have been in film-related industries for several years."
Zhou Xinbian directs the clerk to arrange the goods. Bian said, "Duke's film brings not only the box office, but also sales of peripheral products."
Last year, he moved from the Santa Clara theater to this newly opened gift shop in San Francisco Bay and served as the store manager. Although this is a gift shop, it has been selling various products related to movies for a lot of time. For example, after entering the summer vacation, this boss named Ke Peng, relying on the relationship with a senior at the Duke’s studio, has been very tight The Lord of the Rings peripheral products have grabbed a lot of shares.
Seeing Zhou Xin leading the store staff busy, the Chinese boss Ke Peng has a calm and confident face. Although it is the first time to open the store to San Francisco Bay, he is not worried about profit. This is a famous gathering place for movie fans in San Francisco. He prepared There are far more products related to the Lord of the Rings than others. As long as "The Fellowship of the Ring" can have the influence of "The Matrix", this store will surely generate large profits!
It was getting closer and closer to midnight. Through the glass window, Ke Peng could see places not far away. More and more people walked into the two theaters, which seemed more than any time before.
Obviously, these people are all for the newly released "Guardian of the Ring Expedition".
With the roar of a huge motor, a black Maybach supercar suddenly stopped in front of the store, and then walked into a Chinese man who was somewhat similar to Ke Peng.
This is San Francisco, the largest Chinese-American community in the United States. From the clothes and car of the man, it is not difficult to see that he is extraordinary.
He looked at the busy shop and asked, "Is it so late?"
"Hi, Yang Ge!" Zhou Xin saw him and greeted him actively.
"Hello, George." He beckoned over there and turned to look at the boss.
Ke Peng was rather helpless, and said, "Don't you know that Duke's new movie will be released tonight?"
Yang Ge shook his head.
Pointing to the various products related to the Lord of the Rings on the shelves behind him, Ke Peng said, "They will soon usher in a sales peak."
"Tonight?" Yang Ge obviously didn't believe it. "It's about to be early in the morning. You are not a nightclub here, and there are still peak sales?"
"Are you not going to be a female celebrity tonight?" Ke Peng asked, seeing him shaking his head, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm worried about the lack of manpower, so please stay and help. By the way, let your non-movie hobby Let the reader see, what is the Duke Rosenberg effect!"
"Duke Rosenberg? Didn't he make movies..."
The midnight show on the west coast has just begun, and some theaters in the central and eastern regions of the United States are about to end their screenings.
In a chain of theaters in downtown Chicago, Kirkland from the investigative company finished his work and was chatting with a female reporter on the Chicago Regional Channel of nbc television.
"If other theaters also have attendance here." He told the female reporter, "The Fellowship of the Ring will set a new North American midnight box office record!"
"Who belongs to the original box office record at midnight?" the female reporter asked curiously.
"Duke Rosenberg." Kirkland stretched out his hand and said with a helpless smile, "The Matrix belongs to him."
The female reporter immediately showed a surprised expression, "God. He is terrifying!"
Kirkland shrugged and engaged in work related to movie statistics. This situation has long been no surprise.
Duke Rosenberg’s film set a record, and Duke Rosenberg’s next film broke the record. Isn’t it normal?
"The attendance at midnight is very high?" the female reporter asked again.
Kirkland slowly nodded, "Very high. Although there is only one theater showing "The Fellowship of the Ring", it has 422 seats and sold 395 tickets!"
Even after entering the TV station not long ago, female reporters couldn't help but stare. Such a midnight attendance rate is absolutely terrifying.
Of course, she also knows that this is a famous cinema located in a prosperous area and is not universal.
However, this can also explain quite a few problems.
The footsteps suddenly sounded. The female reporter stood up immediately. Asking his cameraman to walk towards the exit, Kirkland picked up a bunch of questionnaires and followed.
When the female reporter saw the audience who came first, her face couldn't help showing surprise, as if she had just won the big prize.
She greeted him immediately, "Hello, Mr. Roger Albert, I am..."
Briefly introduce yourself. She hurriedly asked, "Did you just watch "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship Expedition"? Can you comment on this movie?"
In recent years, it has been coldly received by the market and film companies. Roger Albert saw a reporter interviewing him, he immediately took out the style of a top expert, pondered a little, and said, "The Fellowship of the Ring presents a Middle-earth world that does not exist in reality, but it It's boring..."
""The Fellowship of the Ring" is a wonderful and strange dream journey!"
There was a high-pitched excitement near the two of them. Interrupting Roger Albert’s words, he was a 20-year-old movie fan. After taking a questionnaire from Kirkland, he obviously did not wake up from the mood of watching the movie. "I was completely immersed in the movie. In the middle-earth world created. If possible, I really want to experience the magical world firsthand!"
Roger Albert frowned and looked over there. In the past few years, his face represented authority on occasions related to movies in Chicago.
The 20-year-old movie fan noticed his eyes, turned his head and glared at Roger Albert, took the gift from Kirkland, and walked away.
Ignorance is sometimes the biggest harm!
But when faced with the camera lens, Roger Albert has to show his best demeanor and continue the topic just now,
This is a mechanized work, full of unnecessary special effects, and its narrative theme is relatively mediocre. Especially those boring battle scenes..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the exhilarating voice of another ordinary fan next to him, "This film is too good, the scenes shown by the special effects make me dreamlike, and I am completely intoxicated by its magic. I don’t think the "Star Wars" series can compare to... well, there are also fights. Every battle between justice and evil is fierce enough to make my blood boil. I have seen the original, and the original is definitely not as exciting as Duke's film!"
No matter how good Roger Albert's self-cultivation was, his face began to become a little ugly.
The newcomer female reporter didn't seem to have seen it, and asked, "Mr. Albert, do you think this film is so general?"
"A very mediocre work."
Thinking of the blindness of the fans just now, thinking of the director of the film, even if he is Roger Albert, some changes will inevitably occur in his mind, "This film is c at best!"
"What? Our score?"
There were more than a dozen young fans around Kirkland. They seemed to have come together. At this time, they said in unison, "Let's hit a+!"
These young people returned the answer sheet, saw the microphone in the hands of the female reporter and the camera behind them, and immediately surrounded them, looking like they wanted to be interviewed.
Their eyes were just looking at the reporter, it seemed that Roger Albert, who was opposite the female reporter, was just an ordinary person.
Roger Albert left the theater with a very low score and left the theater with a gloomy expression.
This is a restless night, some people are frustrated, others are proud. (To be continued...)
