As a reporter who specializes in entertainment, Yang Zhifeng did not attend the press conference after watching the movie, but waited near the entrance and exit of the hall. Today, there were many domestic celebrities who came to attend the premiere. Interviewing them and ordinary audiences' views on this magical epic production will undoubtedly become a selling point.

To be honest, he has been in this industry for several years and knows what Hollywood movies represent, but when he watched the movie just now, he also felt shocked.

With his understanding of the domestic film industry, he believes that even in the past ten years, Chinese directors will not be able to make such a brilliant epic masterpiece.

The place he guarded was the key location of the entrance and exit. Before he could wait, he saw a celebrity in the industry.

"Hello, Director Sun."

Yang Zhifeng and the cameraman stopped him and handed over the microphone, "Can you ask a few questions?"

Perhaps he saw the sign of an important TV station hanging on him, and the other party nodded in cooperation.

"You just watched the movie. Do you have any opinions?" he asked.

Sun Zhou thought about it and said directly, "It is well-made, simple in content, suitable for both men, women, young and old, and it is very suitable for the audience's taste."

"Will it have an impact on Chinese films in the same period?"

"It's not just an impact on Chinese films, right?" Sun Zhou laughed. "It's an impact on world movies. It provides information. It turns out that movies can be made like this! The current level of the film industry has reached this level! The synthetic images of the film exceed 90%. Not only Chinese films, but also film practitioners all over the world! China is still relatively weak in this regard."

"Actually, this is just a very ancient story, which explains a very simple truth." He seemed to be very touched and continued, "It's just that the effect is too good, such as the scene of the human-beast war. I believe that all filmmakers hope to make such highly anticipated films. Many Chinese stories such as "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", "Journey to the West" and "The Romance of the Gods" can be filmed, but not all of them can do so well."

"Can it bring any inspiration to our domestic film industry?" Yang Zhifeng continued to ask.

"China also needs such Hollywood blockbusters to drive the market. Of course, we also need our own domestic films. I think we can learn something, but in fact, the Chinese and foreign film industries are very different in filming. Hollywood is afraid that there is no problem with funds and stunts, but Chinese directors..."

Sun Zhou shook his head and said as he was about to leave, "I dare not even think about it!"

After seeing Sun Zhou off, Yang Zhifeng didn't wait long before he met another celebrity in the industry and asked the same question to director You Xiaogang.

"I don't think it will have an impact on Chinese movies in the same period. To be honest, this movie is very ordinary. If I hadn't received repeated invitations, I wouldn't have come to watch it at all. It was just to cater to the audience's tastes, not as good as the publicity. For our audience, that is, the seasonings, tuning the tastes, and the audience will soon return to the screen of domestic movies."

The director obviously doesn't like this movie. "Everyone says Hollywood movies are like this. In my opinion, "Heroes" is much better than "The Lord of the Rings". There is no need to hold any expectations for this type of movie."

Strictly speaking, Yang Zhifeng is also an insider in the industry. He knows what the movie is, and it is up to the audience to say it. Then he starts to interview ordinary audiences after watching the movie.

A female audience member named Zhang said in an interview, "Is this movie three hours? Why didn't I think it was over? It felt like it was over just now. It was so satisfying!"

Another Ms. Liu said to the camera, "The Return of the King is much more exciting than domestic movies. The characters' fate is tense and complex, especially the war scenes in it are realistic and grand, which makes people so nervous that they are breathless."

Even Yang Zhifeng interviewed a colleague, Zhang Hongyan, a reporter from "Entertainment Scene", said, "I specialize in TV and am very sensitive to images. The stunts in "Return of the King" are really great. I don't know how many images are done."

Afterwards, Yang Zhifeng came to the ticket office of Shanghai Cinema. There was already a long queue here. Many viewers who participated in the premiere did not choose to go home, but lined up to buy tickets again, hoping to wait for the next game to enter the theater again.

"What?"

Dai Changyu didn't expect that he would become the interviewee. Because the scene was quite chaotic, the reporter said it again, and then he replied, "The movie is very, very wonderful. This is the best movie I have seen in recent years. It is incomparable to the domestic film. It makes people feel passionate and excited. When watching it, a girl next to me even cried excitedly."

"What about you?" Yang Zhifeng asked.

"Hehe..." Dai Changyu agreed with laughter, and then said, "I plan to buy tickets and watch it again. Such a movie is worth it."

The movie is definitely worth its ticket price!

This is the consensus of all ordinary audiences who watch the movie, and the attendance rate of subsequent movie sessions proves this.

After midnight, the movie was launched in major theaters in China, almost detonating most cinemas. In ticket cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the audience was crowded. Among the main theaters, except for the sporadic vacant seats in the front row, there were almost all the seats.

Starting from the next day, the screening branch of China Film Group was completely busy. The phone calls from various theaters for new copies kept ringing. The 500 copies that were put into the market in advance were obviously not enough. Some viewers even called the headquarters of China Film Group, reporting that they could not buy tickets for the movie.

The person in charge of a certain theater chain is actually the best portrayal of this situation - neither the audience nor the theater seems to have no mind to take care of other movies. Now we have taken out all the theaters to screen "Return of the King", but it is still difficult to meet the audience's requirements.

In order to avoid a head-on conflict with "Return of the King", there are almost no new films in Chinese theaters. The films with the same schedule, except for a few movies that the superiors stipulate that they must be scheduled, have basically become victims of "Return of the King".

"It is well known that "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" has achieved a fantasy miracle. There has never been a perfect trilogy series in the history of films. However, this history has ended today! The final release of "The Lord of the Rings 3" finally broke the fate of the series of movies and created a miracle of the dream level. Three hours are so precious that the audience is almost reluctant to blink, for fear of missing even one tenth of a second of the plot and scene!"

"Compared with other movies that claim to be super shocking, the value of "The Lord of the Rings 3" is that it will not numb you, but will make you feel happy to live today; yes, that is the highest level of 'beauty'!"

Although most Chinese media are picking and looking for misunderstandings because this is a film by the US, and seem to cool down the hot movie viewing momentum of Chinese people, many media have also given fair comments.

Compared to this, North America, which also ended its premiere, was almost full of praise in the media.

"Every movie in the "Lord of the Rings" series is very good, and the third movie reaches the peak of classic movies. The key characters are sublimated, the arrival of a new civilization, and the fight scenes are more intense, while the emotional level is more deeply and moving."

——"USA Today"

"This is a gift, the best gift for movie fans all over the world!"

——New York Magazine

"The epic conflict, amazing battles, outstanding landscapes and special effects in the film, and the perseverance give this nine-hour series a perfect ending."

——The Hollywood Reporter

The media have scored extremely high scores of nine and ten for the film, and in contrast, the film has also been widely welcomed by the audience.

"Amazing masterpiece!"

"The most grand scene of the war is extremely epic."

"The epic journey is over, and the eternal classics will remain in memory forever!"

Evaluations like this are emerging on the Internet, which fully demonstrates how much ordinary audiences like this movie.

As a reporter who runs entertainment, seizing the current focus of entertainment is undoubtedly the most basic quality. Yang Zhifeng has been keeping his finger on the line "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King", digging deeper and deeper.

The next night, after staying outside the office building for an afternoon, he finally caught the person in charge of the China Film Group Distribution and Screening Branch.

The manager named Weng Li also briefly answered the current market reaction of the movie. "The box office of "Lord of the Rings 3" is quite optimistic. Many theaters across the country have sold out all the tickets that were screened in the first three days, and many viewers even called to report that they could not buy tickets. For this reason, China Film Company has put 200 copies in various theaters across the country today. If it is still not enough, it will be added at the printing factory at any time. At present, the printing factory has made comprehensive preparations."

The film has been sought after by many movie enthusiasts. In those theaters with good environments and advanced equipment, it is often full. Many people even buy tickets to watch it repeatedly within one day.

The hot market reaction also allowed China Film Group to see more profit possibilities. They are also constantly mobilizing their resources to continue to heat up the promotion of this movie. When several people in charge were interviewed, they directly compared "The Lord of the Rings 3" with "Titanic", which set the Chinese box office record that year, and repeatedly expressed their hope that this film can reproduce "The Titanic" of that year.

These words were reported by the media in an even more exaggerated way, which affected the choices of many viewers to a certain extent. As time goes by and information becomes gradually open, the filmmakers here are also well versed in the propaganda method.
