As soon as the sun on Monday climbed into the sky of Los Angeles, Tyro Wood left his apartment and walked in this middle-class neighborhood in North Hollywood. He was in a good mood. He occasionally looked up into the distance, through the faint morning. Fog, you can see the shadow of the rich community next to the community.
There are countless wealthy celebrities, and it is said that Duke Rosenberg also lived there first.
"It won't be long before I can move over."
Taylor Wood confirmed this, because his son just starred in a new work by Hollywood's top director Duke Rosenberg. That new work has a particularly good response, and it is a trend that is going to be a big seller. About to become the father of a future superstar!
"Hi, Tyro..."
Just walked onto the boulevard of the community, a BMW car was parked beside him. The arrogant dentist in the past lowered the window and greeted him affectionately, "This morning? Didn't Ilya come to see you?"
"Morning, Gonzalez." Tyro nodded to him reservedly, and then said, "Ilya is following Duke in the nationwide promotion."
He deliberately increased the pronunciation of ‘Duke’!
The dentist smiled more brilliantly. "When Ilya comes back, can you keep a few signed posters? My kid is special. Don't like "The Fellowship Expedition", it's better to be posters of all the Fellowship Expedition members."
"No problem." Tyro Wood answered casually, "This is just a trivial matter."
Saying goodbye to the dentist Gonzalez, Tyro walked out along the central avenue of the community, and everyone who knew him greeted him politely. Frodo Baggins and "The Fellowship of the Ring" must be mentioned in words.
Even if Tyro is not a particularly vain person, it is inevitable that he will be a little airy at this time. Every father will be proud of his children!
Now Elijah Wood is totally proud of him!
Especially when I remembered that Martin Bob was fired for Duke Rosenberg’s audition, Taylor Wood felt that this move was too right, and the fool would reject Duke Rosenberg. Invited to choose Martin Bob the loser.
It seems that Martin Bob lives in that rich community, right?
Taylor Wood looked at the rich area again, but his eyes were calm. It will not be long before the Woods can move in.
"Hi, Tyro."
He walked to a newspaper stop, and the newspaper seller immediately smiled and asked, "Is it the same as yesterday and the day before yesterday?"
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, Taylor Wood bought a copy of all the newspapers here.
"I'm going out for breakfast." Tyro shook his head. "Just give me a copy of the Los Angeles Times."
Leaving the community with a copy of the "Los Angeles Times", Taylor Wood walked towards the rich area and turned to the left without going too far. There is a restaurant with very good dishes. The residents nearby like to come here for breakfast, and he has been here several times occasionally.
Entering the restaurant, Tyro ordered a breakfast casually, holding a tray and wanted to find a seat. After a few steps out, he suddenly saw a very interested person.
The other party just sat down and was ready to have breakfast. He is wearing a stern black suit and a meticulous tie. In Los Angeles, there are two main types of such people, either stockbrokers and insurance salesmen, or entertainment brokers.
This person is of course the latter, or someone Taylor Wood knows.
Old Wood walked straight over and sat down opposite the man unceremoniously. The other party immediately raised his head, and he seemed to politely stretch out a hand.
"Hello, Martin, it's been a long time."
Martin Bob looked at the somewhat strange middle-aged man, frowning slightly.
Probably guessed that the other party might not know him. Old Wood directly introduced himself, "My name is Tyro Wood, I'm Elijah Wood's father. Do you remember Elijah? He used to be your contract actor."
Elijah Wood? Martin Bob's brow furrowed tighter.
Of course he knows this name. With the big sales of "The Fellowship of the Ring", there are probably not many entertainment agents who don't know this name.
Taylor Wood looked at Martin Bob, "Thank you for taking care of Ilya. If it weren't for your obstruction, Ilya would not have made up his mind to terminate the contract with you, let alone Duke Rosenberg. There is no chance for cooperation now."
Martin Bob's face is a little ugly.
Because of Duke Rosenberg’s audition, Elijah Wood forcibly terminated his contract, and the role he got through the audition became famous. The news has spread throughout Hollywood, and he has become an all-Hollywood joke.
It's just that his dignified entertainment brokerage giant, when will he fall into a small person and be able to speak up in front of him?
"Shut up!" He showed how he treated the young actors in the company!
But the one opposite was not his little actor. Tyro Wood raised his eyebrows, "Oh, Mr. Bob, I heard that you were swept out by Caa. Ilya was too right to choose Duke."
He quickly pointed around with one hand, "You ask these people around you, when they need to make a choice, will they choose Duke Rosenberg or you Martin Bob!"
"Bang!" "Crack!"
The stainless steel table knife in Martin Bob's hand was slammed on the porcelain plate, and the porcelain plate shattered. This sudden situation is enough to prove the unwillingness and resentment of the brokerage giant.
Old Wood was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened. He came from a low- and middle-class society and had worked as a mechanic repairer. How could he be afraid of such things.
"What do you want to do?"
As long as Martin? Bob dares to overdo it, he will definitely pat the breakfast tray in front of him on his face.
However, before he could do anything, the waiter of the restaurant came over and said to Martin Bob politely, "Sorry, sir. You are suspected of deliberately destroying the tableware and need compensation..."
Martin Bob's face was greenish, took out his wallet, took out a large bill, threw it on the table, stood up and turned around to leave.
Tyro Wood couldn't help but laugh, and deliberately picked up the "Los Angeles Times" and said to him, "Hey, Martin, here is the latest box office data, you don't want to listen to the "Pearl Harbor" and Ilya you are responsible for. The box office numbers of "The Fellowship of the Ring"?"
"no need!"
Martin Bob squeezed these words through his teeth and left without looking back.
Looking at the other person's back and shook his head, Old Wood flipped the newspaper to the entertainment section, enjoying a delicious breakfast while reading a refreshing article.
"Because the popularity of "The Mummy Returns" and "Pearl Harbor" has dropped too fast, although "Shrek" achieved unexpected first-week box office results, a cartoon was unable to hold up the box office of the North American summer season and entered the fourth place in May. After the week, the box office market trend has been running at a low level. After four consecutive days of low box office, the North American box office market finally recovered last weekend."
"Produced by Duke Studios and released by Warner Bros. "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings" was officially released last weekend. This magical blockbuster directed by Duke Rosenberg has an amazing momentum. It cost 9.47 million US dollars when it was released. Set a new box office record for the North American midnight show, just like the "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" trilogy to the Lord of the Rings, this is just the beginning of a wonderful journey."
"Saturday, the second day of the release of "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring", it broke the North American single-day box office record with $32.24 million! Three days after the first weekend, this film unsurprisingly broke Spielberg. The weekend box office record held by Grid’s "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" raised this figure from $78.55 million to $84.57 million!"
""The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings Expedition" won the box office leaderboard with an absolute advantage with a box office score of $84.57 million on the first Wednesday! What made the producer and distributor even more happy was that the audience's reputation for the film was bursting!"
"The theater audience scored'a+', and the popcorn index audience liked 95%. In terms of online media, 38,678 users of the imdb website participated, and the score temporarily reached 9.4 points; 47 of the metacritic media scores The mainstream media scored an average score of 91 points!"
"There is no doubt that Duke Rosenberg’s five-year magical trilogy has already started. This Monday is the national holiday on Memorial Day. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" The North American box office will inevitably exceed the 100 million U.S. dollar mark today, and the four-day performance of over 100 million will also set the record for the fastest breaking 100 million in North American film history!"
"No matter the plot, special effects or word-of-mouth box office, this film is a rare masterpiece in recent years. We have every reason to look forward to "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King" in the next two years!"
"The second place on the box office list belongs to "Shrek" of DreamWorks Animation Studios. Due to different audiences, the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings" did not cause too much impact on it. This film also Draws a strong trend. The box office of the next weekend fell by less than 5% compared with the first weekend. The figure of US$40.11 million also allowed the film’s North American box office to exceed US$90 million!"
"The most impacted by "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship Expedition" are "Pearl Harbor" and "The Return of the Mummy." Michael Bay's movie can't compete with the movie of the explosive maniac. "Pearl Harbor" is in the No. After three weekends, it plunged again. The $11.21 million harvested in three days can only be ranked fourth in the box office list; the third place belongs to "The Mummy Returns", this film also shrank severely, but the weekend box office of 13.11 million US dollars, It also successfully pushed the film’s North American box office past 150 million US dollars!"
"Next weekend, North America will only have a large-scale film "Tomb Raider" released. This film adapted from the game is unlikely to pose a threat to "The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring". If nothing else, Du K. Rosenberg’s film will win the second box office champion."
"The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings Expedition has set a series of records. In the end, can it surpass "Independence Day" and create Duke Rosenberg's best box office record since the film, we will wait and see!" Continued...)
