Vol 2 Chapter 475: Movie craze

"Congratulations, Duke."
In the office of CAA in Century City, Eno Martin called Duke’s number as soon as he went to work on Saturday, "Except for congratulations, I really don’t know how to say it, "The Return of the King"... well, If we have time, we will play golf together, then see you later."
Putting down the phone, Hino Martin looked at the opposite, who was one of his ace customers-Leonardo DiCaprio.
"I guess Duke doesn't feel it anymore." Leonardo is obviously fatter than before. "It's ridiculous that some idiots can't distinguish the situation, and they want to attack "The Return of the King"!"
Although the words are very vague, Leonardo has a faint warning. He knows a little bit. Although his agent did not really make a move some time ago, it is hard to say whether there is fanfare.
Hino Martin laughed, facing Leonardo DiCaprio’s super A Grade existence, let alone him now, even the most brilliant Michael Ovitz, not much. The cost of confrontation.
Yes, he doesn’t care about Leonardo, but the other party can fire him as long as he is willing. As for the liquidated damages, I believe there are countless brokerage companies in Hollywood willing to pay for him, and even if he wants to do something, if not ∠With the cooperation of a large media company, Leonardo cannot be damaged too much.
Caa is indeed the largest entertainment agency in the United States, but Hino Martin is not stupid enough to be arrogant. Even if Caa engages in things, Hollywood studios really won’t cooperate with such super A superstars?
What's more, the other party is Caa's signature, and it is a powerful tool for Caa to implement packaging services.
With Leonardo's participation, it is more logical for caa to use its own staff in a project.
As for whether Leonardo's words just hurt his face, Eno Martin never thought about it, from the day he became an entertainment agent. He threw something like face into the Pacific Ocean.
Besides, he knew that Michael Ovitz was also in contact with Leonardo and wanted to pull him into Martin Scorsese's new project.
"Well, Eno, come here today." Leonardo stood up, "I have an appointment with Duke to play together."
Watching Leonardo DiCaprio leave. Ino Martin sighed. Some time ago he just pushed it secretly. Unexpectedly, Leonardo reacted so fiercely, as if he had a really good relationship with Duke Rosenberg?
Since Martin Bob stepped down, the relationship between him and Duke quickly faded. The two sides had come together because of a common enemy. The enemies disappeared, and the so-called common front ceased to exist, and the director Instead, he got closer to his current competitor, Pat Kingsley.
Although the market share of Hollywood movies is growing. However, the growth rate is not fast. The entire market share is so large. Duke Rosenberg is unable to cooperate with his caa. The two parties are destined to have a certain competitive relationship. When appropriate, they will push from the back. Invisible competitors, Eno Martin will not mind.
Just see yesterday's box office statistics obtained today. Ino Martin couldn't help but smile, Duke Rosenberg is powerful. Sure enough, these small means can not be shaken.
In just one day on Friday, I got 40.35 million U.S. dollars. This kind of result makes all those who have thought about it ashamed.
After seeing this number again, Eno Martin gradually made up his mind, and in the future, he will definitely not be like Martin Bob and Michael Ovitz. Enemy Duke Rosenberg head-on.
"Leo, do you really plan to change your image?"
Putting away the cue, Duke returned and sat under the parasol, Leonardo next to him turning the cup in his hand. He raised his head and replied, "I am not like you, who can drive the college to an absolute path. If I want to win the prize, I have to take more practical actions."
He suddenly mentioned another person, "I saw Sally some time ago and she almost changed her appearance."
"Oh, what did it look like?" Duke asked curiously.
Leonardo made a few gestures, "I shaved my eyebrows, the whole person is fat..."
Since coming to this golf club, Duke discovered in Leonardo’s words that he has a tendency to change towards a prize-winning madman. He also persuaded a few words, but Leonardo has already reached the limit in business. It is almost impossible to surpass, Oscar has naturally become his biggest pursuit, and Duke's words have no effect at all.
This is related to the career and future of others. Duke can’t do more. Moreover, Leonardo’s status in Hollywood is no lower than him. Although the two are friends, the other cannot follow his command. And action.
Duke knew very well that he did not have a mental retardation aura. After persuading a few words, he saw Leonardo insisted on his views, so he gave up.
Leonardo also deliberately changed the subject, just talking about Duke's "The Return of the King".
"Even Cameron did not do like you back then." Leonardo looked at Duke with a playful smile on his face. It seemed that something particularly interesting had happened. "Duke, you have forced the college to Made a choice."
Duke shrugged, "I didn't push them."
"But they must make a choice." Leonardo was excited. "If they want to maintain the tradition they have always adhered to, continue to ignore you and "The Return of the King", and do not award important awards to non-realistic films, they will not only be Public criticism and rejection by countless movie fans will also affect the fairness they advertised..."
Duke just laughed, but didn't say anything.
Leonardo continued, "It would be even more interesting if you and "The Return of the King" are awarded to you and the "Return of the King". This is a non-realistic film. Oscar has never seen it before.
"You seem to be happy to see them embarrassed?" Duke tilted his head and looked at him.
"Of course." Leonardo said naturally, "I want to get an Oscar because I don't have other pursuits in business, but it doesn't mean I like those people. I really want to see how embarrassed they are."
"I suggest, Leo." Duke stood up, "When you get the best actor, Golden Man, throw it directly in the garbage dump at home, so that the expressions of those old men will be more exciting."
Leonardo's eyes lit up immediately, "This is a good idea."
Although Duke was busy and played golf with Leonardo, the publicity of "The Two Towers" did not relax. In this era, the Internet is rapidly rising, and the power of traditional media cannot be ignored, especially the media that some movie lovers pay attention to. , Is also an important position for film promotion.
Film critics are singing bad news about "The Return of the King", but in the face of huge publicity expenses and huge media hype, their voices are pitiful.
Especially for professional film media such as "Hollywood Reporter", the important position of the front page headlines is almost all content related to "The Return of the King".
"The original "Lord of the Rings" is actually a super long magical epic that is naturally made. After watching the premiere of "The Return of the King", my hanging heart can finally be put down-Duke Rosenberg Ge did not live up to everyone's expectations. He gave the third part more exciting scenes, and the overall style is still highly consistent with "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers", which makes the movie trilogy It has finally become a natural miracle work, no one can deny that it is a perfect reproduction of the original work!"
"The success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is inseparable from the profoundness of the original work. Tolkien's lifelong wisdom guarantees the splendor of each movie; but the success of the movie depends more on the director Duke Rosenberg Unique talent."
"This young director may not have the genre of geniuses like Quentin Tarantino, nor the humanistic thinking ability of Steven Spielberg, but he has amazing creativity and integration. The overall ability should be even better!"
"In fact, the more famous the original works, the more difficult it is to adapt, especially for works like "The Lord of the Rings". The adaptation is almost an impossible task; but Duke Rosenberg did it almost perfectly. I believe there are people who can do better than him, and I also believe that no other director can do better than Duke.
"On this basis, if he fails to win the Oscar for Best Director this time, it will be a loss for the Oscar. There are a lot of directors who can make amazing'art films' in this world. But there are very few Duke who can turn the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy into an amazing dream classic, if not unique."
"In this sense, Duke Rosenberg, who is as strong and unyielding as Aragon, should be affirmed and tributed by everyone, just like King Eliza in the film."
"Finally, I want to say that the three-year expectation has not been in vain. "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is as majestic as its name. It has handed in a perfect answer sheet to witness Duke and his "The Lord of the Rings". "The trilogy creates miracles. We are hungry and feel lucky and happy!"
The media guides public opinion, and public opinion drives the audience. The audience watches a movie. The movie stimulates high emotions. The emotions will spread among the crowd and eventually become a burst of word-of-mouth.
On Saturday, the major theaters in North America ushered in the craziest movie-watching climax since 2003. Nearly 8 million viewers flooded into the theaters in North America, and they had only one goal-The Lord of the Rings III. The final chapter of the song "The Return of the King"!
Not only in North America, because "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" have aroused strong responses all over the world. "The Return of the King" has also been released in more than 70 countries and regions overseas at the same time, almost none of them The exception sparked a movie-watching boom. (To be continued...)
