Vol 2 Chapter 468: The emperor and the elf prince are true love

"what happened?"
Now is the critical period of propaganda. Orlando Bloom, who plays Legolas, is an important part of propaganda.
"We just received a notice from his agent." Tina Fei said as simply as possible, "After the announcement last night, Orlando went to a club club and clashed with a Chinese man..."
"Is he seriously injured?" Doug Walter doesn't care about Orlando Bloom's life and death. "Will it affect the next propaganda schedule?"
"Has the news spread?" Duke knew how popular Orlando Bloom is now.
"His agent dragged on all night," Tina Fei said helplessly. "When I was just notified, negative news was already visible on the Internet."
Duke walked back behind his desk and turned on Yahoo Entertainment. As Tina Fei said, news about Orlando Bloom's fight was everywhere, even with pictures.
Although there are no pictures of live fighting, there are photos of him leaving the nightclub and going to the hospital. The extraordinary Legolas in the film looks very miserable in the photos. He was almost beaten into a pig's head, even if he got it in time. Treatment is unlikely to appear in public for a short time.
Yahoo Entertainment], Le uses relatively fair text to introduce the development of the matter...
"Orlando Bloom recently had a hot fight with a female model from Australia. The incident was triggered by the female model. This model named Miranda Kerr broke up with her boyfriend because of Orlando Bloom's involvement. , His wealthy Chinese businessman boyfriend apparently had long been eyeing Orlando Bloom, and after chasing him into the nightclub, he started directly. Legolas could not fight back until the nightclub security came..."
"The man who beat Orlando Bloom is called Edward Young. The rich Chinese man from San Francisco was released on bail by a lawyer last night..."
Edward Yang?
Duke thought the name was a bit familiar, but forgot who it was.
He was watching the news on the Internet, and Tina Fei was calling to verify the truth of the matter, and soon put down the phone and said to Duke. "Not very different from the Yahoo Entertainment report."
Duke nodded. If you look at the incident alone, this is just the most common Hollywood conflict caused by jealousy. Except for Orlando Bloom, a popular movie star who was beaten up a bit, nothing is too unusual. The place.
It was just reflected on the Internet, and the response was overwhelming.
I opened several websites and forums one after another, and they were almost screened by Orlando Bloom's assault. Among them, there were few sympathizers, and they were basically cynics.
"Legolas is a shameful third party. He specializes in seducing other people's girlfriends."
"Except for a handsome face, what else does Orlando Bloom have? The Legolas he plays is not worthy of everyone's praise at all. This is an embroidered pillow."
"This is the moral standard of the cast of The Lord of the Rings, a group of third parties who specialize in breaking up other people's families!"
"People who go to the Lord of the Rings movie because they like Legolas, I suggest you think about it and save the dollars in your wallet!"
If Duke still fails to see that this is the navy guiding public opinion. These years have really been for nothing.
Turning off the computer, Duke immediately asked Tina Fei to contact Orlando Bloom's agent and publicist. At the same time, notify Penny Kelly to come to the studio to discuss.
An Orlando Bloom does not obviously affect "The Return of the King", he is not so important, and this is just a jealous fight, not a great scandal.
But only at noon, cbs and abc TV stations followed up on the incident, which belonged to the media of several other companies such as Walt Disney and Viacom. There was also a lot of hype. Just after lunch, a Walt Disney website suddenly released a picture of Orlando Bloom and Vigo Mortensen walking into a bar together.
It's no big deal to walk into a bar, the problem is that they entered a famous bar in the Los Angeles area!
This can be imagined. Almost within an hour, it was spread all over the Internet under the control of a caring person.
"It turns out that the emperor and the elf prince are true love..."
"Aragorn fell in love with Legolas, this world completely collapsed..."
No one is stupid enough to openly discriminate against homosexuality, but it is not impossible to use this method to arouse the resentment of some moral people.
At night, in several famous forums, novels of the same name by Aragorn and Legolas appeared successively, telling the love stories that the Emperor and the Elf Prince had to say, and they were even reprinted...
"Obviously, someone is targeting us!"
It was late, and the Lord of the Rings studio was still brightly lit. Duke stood at the forefront of the conference table, looking at Vigo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom. The latter's appearance was indeed a little miserable, his face There were many bruises, and it was obvious that he was hit hard.
"Vigo, Orlando, tell me what's the matter with you."
Although the rumors of these two people were all over the sky, Duke confirmed that they are not a couple yet, at least not now.
"We did go into the bar together." Vigo Mortensen turned to look to the other side, "but the two of us went to Ian."
Ian McLean nodded solemnly, "I can confirm this."
As long as it's not true, a few pictures can't tell you much. Although there will definitely be an impact, you can still minimize it with active public relations.
"Pani..."
Duke stepped aside, and professional things were naturally left to professionals.
In fact, public relations do not require special means to allow the navy to increase the publicity of "The Return of the King" on the Internet, and at the same time announce some new news to divert the public's attention.
As for the focus of the whirlpool of public opinion, it is not difficult.
On the second day, Vigo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom took their female companions to travel together. When Ian McLean was interviewed by a media, he also mentioned the fact that the two went to the bar to find him.
Although it is impossible to completely eliminate the impact, this kind of hype rises quickly and falls back quickly.
By the third day, Duke was still watching the progress of the incident. Someone took the initiative to apologize through the Duke’s studio.
"I'm sorry, Director Rosenberg, I met Orlando Bloom at the time and didn't hold back the impulse."
Looking at the ethnic Chinese sitting next to him, Duke remembered who he was and nodded slightly, "Don't have another time!"
"I promise!" Edward Yang Xin vowed, "During the release of "The Return of the King", Orlando Bloom will not be moved."
The other party is one of Lord of the Rings's largest neighboring partners on the west coast, and Duke doesn't plan to go into it. "Just so, Mr. Yang, remember what you said."
"Thank you!"
Edward Yang stretched out his hand and shook Duke, then left.
Duke didn't care about the conflict between him and Orlando Bloom. After the hottest period of "The Return of the King", whether Orlando Bloom would become a pig or something else has nothing to do with him.
However, those who were not pleasing to the Lord of the Rings and Duke jumped out through the Orlando Bloom incident, especially the group of film critics. They seem to want to use this storm to influence "The Return of the King" "The market reaction.
Roger Albert deliberately published an article in his column.
"Duke Rosenberg chooses actors without acting as a criterion. Talent has never been a factor he values. Take a look at the forthcoming third episode of The Lord of the Rings, which is full of male vases and female vases. It’s disrespect for the art of film, disrespect for the audience, and even more disrespect for those who work hard."
"In his films, people who are full of talents and excellent acting skills cannot play, and people who are young and have only a good face are very popular. This is completely contrary to the American dream that we have always advocated, Duke Rosen. Berg doesn’t even respect the most basic principles of social justice..."
"Look at the actors he chose. They are always full of scandals. Those audiences who like Duke Rosenberg's movies, please keep your eyes open and tell what kind of people you like!"
On the eve of the film’s release, Roger Albert undoubtedly sounded the clarion call between the critics and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Other well-known film critics followed up, and in their own column, they continued to attack Duke and his films.
"The Lord of the Rings trilogy is boring and long, it's like going through a century. Audiences who want to enter the theater, have you brought pillows?"
— "The New Yorker" David Denby.
Although well-known film critics choked, hoping to use their weak influence on the summer to hit the box office of "The Return of the King" as much as possible, but they have to face the fact that even if they hate this film, they have to buy tickets. Walk into the theater and contribute to the box office of the film.
There are two reasons. One is that the issuer does not provide free ticketing services to any film critics. The other is that the response of the Lord of the Rings is too strong. How can their gradually marginalized group let go of this good opportunity to gain attention?
Even if they didn't watch the film, they were prepared to give negative comments. Even if their film reviews would inevitably be scolded by fans, it was still attention.
It's better to be discussed than no one.
If no one is talking and paying attention, it means that the group of professional film critics is really going to die.
On May 1st, Roger Albert put on his formal attire early and sat in the living room of the mansion, waiting for the time to pass, waiting to go to the theater to watch the advance show that was shown at the same time as the premiere.
While he was waiting, the Chinese Theater in Hollywood was crowded with people. The Return of the King, which was previously entangled by various public opinions and negative news, did not seem to have been affected. It opened a global screening tour on an exceptionally grand scale! (To be continued...)
