Chapter 583 Interview

The film was screened simultaneously in many countries and regions around the world, and was unanimously welcomed, with considerable audience numbers and theater attendance.

In North America alone, the film received a box office of $41.28 million in 3,709 theaters on its first day, and the cumulative first-day box office worldwide reached $79.8 million!

With the first two films as a foreshadowing, the quality of The Lord of the Rings 3: The King Comes Over itself is absolutely excellent, which has caused a strong response among the audiences in the screening area, especially the good word of mouth spread, which has further boosted the box office. number.

In the following two days, the number of viewers and attendance in various places remained at very stable figures.

Although the rhythm of the film has been criticized by some people, there are not many real opponents in the global film market in June.

Today's North America is still the world's No. 1 ticket market, and the first-week box office of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King also proves this.

After the first week, the film received a box office of up to 100 million 20.19 million US dollars in North America, and successfully topped the North American box office chart.

The first-week box office in other regions has also been released successively, with Australia 15.22 million US dollars, France 19.62 million US dollars, Germany 31.84 million US dollars, Japan 16.79 million US dollars, Italy 8.5 million US dollars, Britain 29.25 million US dollars... The Lord of the Rings 3: The King Comes Over in The whole world has sparked a movie-watching boom, and China is no exception. It easily won 38.5 million yuan at the box office in the first week, completely disdain for all movies in the same period.

As for what some people said would not have an impact on Chinese films, I wonder how he would feel when he saw that other films in the same period only cost hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands at the box office.

The film continued to wreak havoc on the film market in its release region for its second week. North America's second-week box office was as high as $87.5 million, continuing to hold the top spot in the North American box office chart, and China is also very popular. Although the box office of 26.4 million yuan is only a fraction of the North American box office, it is relative to the number of screens in this era. It's been a very good result.

Ryan is also preparing to end his trip to China, but before leaving, he accepted the invitation of Interview with Yang Lan.

He is a famous Hollywood movie star. The movies he created and starred in have created box office miracles in the history of world movies. He can play super geniuses and screen tough guys...

Standing in the background, Ryan could clearly hear the voice introduced by Yang Lan. When he agreed to the interview, the two sides had negotiated and would not involve sensitive issues such as politics, region and ideology. Back then, in order to get rid of the predicament of life, he took up the pen and wrote down his fantasy, and now the fantasy has become the Harry Potter series that has swept the world.

Audience friends, everyone, welcome to the interview with Yang Lan in this issue. The following is the guest of this issue... Oscar winner Ryan Jenkins!

There was warm applause from the front desk. Ryan sorted out his casual clothes, walked out, smiled and waved to the bottom. Across the round glass table, he sat opposite Yang Lan.

Ryan, hello, is it okay to communicate in Chinese?

No problem. Ryan nodded. Please don't use local slang.

The audience below applauded and laughed. There are too many news about him in the newspapers these days, and being able to speak fluent Chinese has naturally become the focus of the report.

Can you tell us where you learned your Chinese? Yang Lan said with a smile, There shouldn't be many Hollywood stars like you who can speak Chinese, right?

In fact, there are not many. Ryan avoided the important points and ignored them. Chinese was when I was young. I learned it from a Chinese volunteer in the orphanage. My language talent is OK...…

Speaking of which. He laughed at himself, Although I only know English, Chinese, and not too much French, but I think it's pretty good. I studied for a long time at that time. Later, when I was in London, I hired a special private teacher.

So, you know a lot about Chinese culture?

I can't talk about understanding, I know a little bit.

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Yang Lan asked an essential question when facing foreigners, What's your impression of China?

A very beautiful country. The reason why Ryan was interviewed was to leave a better image. Before I came to Shanghai, I used to film in Guilin, and it was so beautiful...

As long as it doesn't involve sensitive issues, Ryan doesn't mind saying all the words he has to praise.

Of course, his superficial identity is a Hollywood movie star, and the central point of the topic is naturally inseparable from movies.

Actually, the one who made the greatest contribution to the Lord of the Rings series is director Peter Jackson. It can be said that without him the success of this series would not have been possible. Ryan knew that he had to show humility here, For the sake of the three films He has been working on the film for more than six years so far.”

The audience under the stage made a surprised sound.

Can you tell me in detail? I believe many viewers are curious about how such a magnificent movie was made. Yang Lan asked in a timely manner.

As early as 1997, Peter approached me and provided the first draft of the script. Ryan explained in as simple a language as possible, which was also to promote the film, He moved me, and the film was officially approved. , the preparatory work began, and the preparatory work alone lasted for two years, and the subsequent shooting lasted for another year and a half. For such a magical work, the post-production requires more energy than the shooting.

So the trilogy was shot at the same time?

Yes, long-term filming is very hard and tedious. Our actors can take vacations, but the director cannot.

Can you tell us how much budget you originally prepared for this series? Yang Lan asked.

The initial budget was US$300 million, but the actual production cost far exceeded this figure, probably around US$350 million!

You were only seventeen then? What prompted you to make such a big investment? And the previous Titanic, which, as we all know, also contributed to your investment.

Ryan laughed, Confidence in the Hollywood movie model, and intuition. It turns out that my intuition is fairly reliable, and these movies have been successful.

We all know you've just finished filming on Star Wars, and are you going to be in a new movie next?

Yes, this is both my job and my greatest interest. Ryan thought about it and said deliberately, The new work will probably be based on a real event.

Is it convenient to reveal the content?

Hearing this, Ryan shook his head with a smile, Sorry, this is a commercial secret, and I only have a preliminary idea. I will continue to think about it after returning to North America.

From a media practitioner's point of view, Ryan, you have been interviewed less and less in recent years, and you have hardly been on an interview program. Why?

I always have a lot of work to do, and filming is just part of the job, and I have a lot to deal with. Ryan shrugged gracefully, There's always not enough time.

Speaking of work, I don't know if you have heard of Ryan's other identity? Yang Lan didn't give a shit, and gave the answer directly, He is also the chairman of Walt Disney.

The Disney that owns Disneyland and created Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, she added.

There were bursts of consternation from the audience, and some people even opened their mouths.

Can you tell me what it's like to be chairman of Disney, Ryan?

Actually, I rarely participate in specific operations. Ryan shook his head and smiled, Disney has a professional team of professional managers to handle daily affairs, and my work is mainly on the film business.

Yang Lan skillfully controlled the trend of the topic. As long as the other party's question was not too much, Ryan was also willing to answer, and sometimes humorous.

How many times have you been to China? The topic circled around and returned to the beginning.

Well... Ryan thought back, The first time I came was to attend a concert in Jinzhou, and then I went to Hangzhou to see the filming progress of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This should be the fourth time.

If it wasn't for work, I would actually like to stay here for a while, he said with a smile.

We all know that you invested in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Do you have any plans to continue to cooperate with China in the next step?

Disney has been working hard to establish a solid partnership with China, and we have a deep cooperation with Huayi on Harry Potter, a young Chinese girl who is about to play an important role in Harry Potter and also Have……

Ryan has talked a lot, but in fact, most of them are the work that he has been working hard to promote in recent years.

The opposite Miss Yang is a smart person. She has studied abroad in the United States for many years, and she also knows what Ryan's identity and wealth represent, and has never touched any sensitive issues.

She also wants to push her interviews to North America, and negotiations with TV stations are also ongoing.

Finally, she made a little joke, Ryan, you have a very friendly nickname among your supporters in China, have you heard of it?

Of course. Ryan nodded and said with a deliberately embarrassed smile, Is it Xiao Rui?

The audience and Yang Lan laughed at the same time.

I knew it was a way for them to show their love for me, Ryan said afterward. Actually, I love it too.

Although the interview was not broadcast live, Ryan then left China. After this episode aired, the image of a Hollywood star who speaks fluent Chinese, understands China and likes Chinese culture has been erected here, even if the opponents It's everywhere, but Ryan is still the most popular Hollywood star, and movies bearing his name tend to draw larger audiences.
