Chapter 451 The undisputed leader
The first film in history with a weekend box office of over 100 million, the first director in history with a weekend box office of over 100 million!
Duke Rosenberg became the first person to break the 100 million weekend box office in North America without any suspense!
Also on Monday, the public opinion was almost crazy, and the news that The Two Towers broke the box office of 100 million in the first weekend was placed on the front page headlines. This is a super event in North American film history. Prince William from abroad is even more attractive.
Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, etc., countless mainstream newspapers have put Duke's avatar and the poster of Two Towers in the most conspicuous position. The bragging rights are all over the front page.
Ten years of directing, Duke Rosenberg's road to becoming a god...
No one can compare, no one can compare to Duke Rosenberg today, great work, great director!
$103.03 million, Duke Rosenberg is the market king again!
Not only the media, but the public reacted equally strongly. This is the first film in North American history to exceed $100 million at the weekend box office!
Congratulations, Evie.
Ivanka, your boyfriend is really amazing.
Since sitting in the computer room of the library, Ivanka has not been free. Many people came over to say hello in a low voice and say a few words of congratulations. She knew the influence of Duke's films among young people. The feeling is quite complicated.
The most must have been joy, and she felt proud even if the object of these people's congratulations was Duke.
It's just that the joy is mixed with a little bit of sourness, which is also the unavoidable psychology of a highly professional person like Ivanka, and at the same time inspires her to work harder.
Ivanka went to Duke's website and clicked on the Two Towers column. The message board below was almost busted.
The first weekend box office movie exceeded 100 million yuan, as expected, only I The Lord of the Rings and the Blast Maniac can do it!
Looking back at Hollywood in the first ten years, it's not hard to see that Duke got this grade for granted!
Is there anyone else in the Chicago area to watch The Two Towers, form a group to play for the third time...
Then, Ivanka went on IMDB again and took a casual look. The rating is basically stable at 9.2 points, and there are very few negative comments in the comment column.
After reading this, she logged into her instant sharing website with administrator privileges, and immediately noticed something unusual.
On the homepage of the website, there is a short message with a picture that has been pinned to the top by numerous replies, and the number of visits shown below is as high as 170,000!
Ivanka couldn't help frowning, as of yesterday. The number of registrations on the entire website is only hundreds of thousands. How can the traffic of this one be so huge?
The first thing she thought of was the water army, but instant sharing is just a small website, and it has no value for irrigation.
However, after seeing the picture and the poster clearly, Ivanka showed a clear expression. There was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, because the person who posted it was Duke's account, and the content posted was The Return of the King that countless people care about!
Move the mouse and click, Ivanka understands that her boyfriend is helping herself. Although there are only two or three pictures about the battle of Black Gate and Minas Tirith, what he wrote is only as simple as the two battles of The Return of the King. But now that The Two Towers has exploded, and countless people are eagerly looking forward to the third part, it can easily attract the attention of a large number of people.
It's really a consistent style. Ivanka muttered while looking at the picture.
The pictures are all panoramas of the battlefield, densely packed with warring parties. Especially the Mordor coalition, not only the ring spirits riding flying beasts circling back and forth, but also faintly seeing countless huge trolls, and even behind the back, the mammoth also faintly revealed its figure.
Only then did Ivanka notice that in the upper right corner of her administrator authority, the number of website registrations had skyrocketed from the hundreds of thousands yesterday to 250,000!
Even the most obtuse person can see what Duke and the Lord of the Rings have done to the site, as 911 to the blog.
Duke's purpose in doing this is to take advantage of his most popular stage to bring the instant sharing website to the forefront and speed up its development a little bit, just like he won't keep repeating other people's paths, wanting to take over. Like Christopher Rockencourt's script, he was eager to see how the site could develop in the end. ,
Will it be one of countless flooded websites, or will it take off like the ones it used to be?
On Monday, not only major companies, but also many actors, directors, and producers in Hollywood responded strongly to the first-ever weekend box office hit of over 100 million, and some of them were interviewed by the media.
I've competed head-to-head with Duke's work, and I know what a terrifying pressure that can be.
When he walked out of the DreamWorks headquarters, Tom Cruise was stopped by reporters. When talking about his well-recognized good friends, he said, No one wants to face Duke's works in the summer. No surprise, don't you think this is normal?
Steven Spielberg, who was beside Liangtang, also accepted the interview, the old man said, Duke is the undisputed leader among the younger generation of directors in Hollywood. He has produced one film after another. Excellent work, groundbreaking in his various approaches to action, sci-fi and fantasy, and he has profoundly influenced Hollywood filmmaking.
At the same time, Duke and the crew became the target of many TV shows.
This is an official invitation from Oprah's Talk Show.
In the hotel room, Tina Fey put several invitations in front of Duke, Oprah Winfrey invited you to the talk show for the third time.
Duke nodded, but didn't mean to agree. Instead, he looked at the public relations manager on the opposite side, who was a professional in this field.
Panney Kelly took a few invitations, just flipped them over, put them back, and directly suggested, Push them all down.
Take it all down? Duke asked.
Yes, Duke, except for the Oprah Show, these shows don't match your status at all. Participating in such shows will damage your style.
Hearing these words, Duke thought for a while and nodded slowly.
Panney Kelly added, Although The Two Towers grossed over 100 million in the first weekend, we don't have to rush out to show off in a high-profile manner, the box office appeal is never a problem for your film, and the film is good enough. , Warner's announcement does not require us to add this much or little.
The only thing that's good enough is the Oprah show.
Speaking of this show, Panney Kelly shook his head directly, Nearly 90% of the audience of this show are housewives over 35 years old, maybe other people need the support of housewives, but Duke yours Movie……
Duke couldn't help laughing. His movies were never the housewife's plate. Nancy Josephson had reminded him of this back in the early 1990s, counting on older housewives to support his hot-dominated style. Movies aren't realistic at all.
No matter how good a movie is, it can't kill the whole world, and his movie is destined to fail to shine in the group of housewives.
And the fame that Oprah's talk show can bring is completely dispensable. Any program has a target group. Oprah's talk show is basically a tasteless existence for Duke now.
As for Oprah? What would Winfrey think? With Duke's current status and status, he doesn't need to care too much.
I also got a piece of news. Panney Kelly's face suddenly turned serious, Oprah Winfrey's people went to the Middle East and Northern Europe.
Duke frowned slightly. What does she want to do?
It should be a measure against you being on the show, Penny Kelly said. Even if you refuse to participate, if she can bring in the target person, it will create a sensational show.
People who have watched Oprah's talk shows can always see Oprah Winfrey's understanding and generosity. After digging out the so-called past and scars of the guests, they will accompany them to tears when necessary. , the hug from her generous body is even more famous.
But why is she always able to dig out the other side of celebrities? Are her words really magical?
of course not!
As everyone knows, each episode is carefully designed, and before the design, Oprah Winfrey's company and team will do a lot of targeted investigations, such as a celebrity suffered from childhood. The father abused, then the father is likely to appear on the show, and then naked. naked to expose the guest's scars, and she jumped out to play a sympathizer or a savior...
The Oprah Show seems to be a very conscientious show, but like other media, the process of program production and preparation is as far as the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean combined with the word conscience.
Duke had guessed what Oprah Winfrey wanted to do after hearing what Penny Kelly said.
Although his mother never mentioned it and he didn't investigate it, Duke vaguely knew that his father seemed to be traveling between northern Europe and the Middle East.
Just how difficult is it for a talk show to invite someone who hates publicity and is not short of money?
Duke told Tina Fey to turn down all invitations, including Oprah Winfrey, and put it behind her head, even if Oprah Winfrey invited his former father, he I don't care, after all, it's been almost thirty years since the other party disappeared.
It would be better if Oprah Winfrey could find him. Duke also wanted to see what he had become after not seeing him in thirty years.
After the discussion about TV shows ended, Duke and the crew embarked on a publicity tour across the United States and continued to build momentum for The Two Towers. The crew could set off a tornado-like frenzy in every city they visited, driving the box office and surrounding figures. keep rising. (To be continued ~^~)
