The film was released at the same time in many countries and regions around the world and was unanimously welcomed. The number of viewers and the attendance rate of the theater are quite considerable.

In North America alone, the film received a box office of US$41.28 million in 3,709 theaters on the first day, and the cumulative box office of the world's first day reached US$79.8 million!

With the first two movies as the foundation, the quality of "The Lord of the Rings: Come Here" itself is absolutely excellent, which has caused a strong response among the audiences in the release areas, especially the good reputation passed down by word of mouth, which further boosted the box office figures.

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

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

Today, North America is still the world's number one vote market, and the first week of "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" also proves this.

After the first week, the film won a box office of up to 120.19 million US dollars in North America, successfully topped the North American box office rankings.

The first week of box office in other regions has also been released one after another, including $15.22 million in Australia, $19.62 million in France, $31.84 million in Germany, $16.79 million in Japan, $8.5 million in Italy, and $29.25 million in the UK... "The Lord of the Rings: Come Here" has triggered a movie-watching craze all over the world, and China is no exception. It easily won 38.5 million in the first week, completely outspoken all movies that are regarded as the period.

As for what some people say will not have an impact on Chinese movies, I wonder how he would feel when he saw the box office of other movies in the same period, which were only tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.

The movie continued to rage the film market in the release area in the second week. The box office in North America reached 87.5 million US dollars in the second week, and continued to rank as the top of the North American box office list, while China is also very popular. Although the box office of 26.4 million yuan is only a fraction of the box office in North America, it is already a very good result compared to the number of screens in this era.

Ryan is also preparing to end his trip to China, but before leaving, he accepted the invitation from "Yang Lan's Interview".

"He is a famous Hollywood movie star. The movies he created and starred in have created box office miracles in the history of world cinema. He can play a super genius and also play a tough guy on the screen..."

Standing in the backstage, Ryan could clearly hear Yang Lan's introduction. When he agreed to the interview, the two sides had negotiations and would not involve sensitive issues such as politics, region and ideology. "In the past, in order to get rid of the difficulties of life, he picked up a pen and wrote down his fantasy. Now his fantasy has become the "Harry Potter" series that is popular all over the world."

"Hello, everyone, welcome to this episode of Yang Lan's interview. Here are some guests of this episode... Oscar winner Ryan Jenkins!"

Warm applause came from the front desk. Ryan sorted out his casual clothes, walked out, and waved to the bottom with a smile. He sat opposite Yang Lan through the round glass table.

"Hello, Ryan, is there no problem in communicating in Chinese?"

"No problem." Ryan nodded, "please don't just say local slang."

The audience below applauded and laughed. There were too many news about him in the newspaper these days, and being able to speak Chinese, which was fluent in one mouthful, naturally became the focus of the report.

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

"In fact, there are not many." Ryan avoided the importance of the matter. "Chinese was learned from a Chinese volunteer in the welfare home. My language talent is good..."...

Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Although I only know English, Chinese, and not much French, I think it's still good. I studied for a long time at that time, and later when I was in London, I hired a special tutor."

"So, do you know a lot about Chinese culture?"

"I can't understand it, I know more."

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

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

As long as there is no need to involve sensitive issues, Ryan doesn't mind saying all the words he has mastered to praise.

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

"In fact, director Peter Jackson is the one who contributed the most to the "Lord of Rings" series. It can be said that without him, there would be no success in this series." Ryan knew that he had to show his humility here, "He has worked for more than six years so far for the trilogy film."

The audience on the stage made a surprise voice.

"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 found me and provided the first draft of the script." Ryan explained in as simple as possible, which was also a promotion for the film. "He impressed me, and then the film was officially launched and the preliminary preparations began. The preparations were only two years long, and the subsequent shooting lasted for another one and a half years. For such a magical work, post-production requires more energy than shooting."

"So was the trilogy filmed at the same time?"

"Yes, long-term shooting is very hard and very cumbersome. We actors can take vacations, but directors can't."

"Can you tell us how much budget you prepared for this series in the first place?" Yang Lan asked.

"The initial budget is 300 million US dollars, and the actual production cost is far more than this number, about 350 million US dollars!"

"You were only seventeen years old at that time? What prompted you to make such a big investment? And the previous Titanic, which is well known that this project was also facilitated by your investment."

Ryan laughed, "The confidence in the Hollywood movie model and intuition, it turns out that my intuition is reliable, and all these movies have been successful."

"We all know that you just finished shooting of Star Wars, are you going to be in a new movie next?"

"Yes, this is both my job and my greatest interest," Ryan thought for a while and said deliberately, "The new work will probably be adapted from a real event."

"Is it convenient to reveal the content?"

Hearing this, Ryan smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, this is a trade secret, and he just has a preliminary idea. He has to continue thinking about it after returning to North America."

“From a media practitioner’s perspective, Ryan, you’ve been interviewing less and less in recent years and have hardly been on interviews, why is that?”

"I always have a lot of work to do. Making movies is just a part of the job, and I have a lot of things to deal with." Ryan shrugged elegantly, "The time is always not enough."

"When it comes to work, I wonder if you have heard of Ryan's other identity?" Yang Lan didn't keep it a secret and directly said the answer, "He is also the chairman of Walt Disney."

"It's the Disneyland that owns Disneyland and the creation of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck." She added.

There were shocking sounds from the audience, and some people even opened their mouths wide.

"Can you tell me what it feels like to be the chairman of Disney, Ryan?"

"In fact, 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 job is mainly focused on the film business."

Yang Lan cleverly controlled the direction of the topic. As long as the other party’s questions were not excessive, Ryan was willing to cooperate with the answers, and sometimes he would have a few humorous words.

"How many times have you come to China?" The topic went around and returned to the beginning.

"Well..." Ryan recalled, "The first time I came to Jinzhou to attend a concert. Later, I went to Hangzhou to watch the filming progress of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This should be the fourth time."

"If it weren't for work, I actually wanted to stay here for a while." He said with a smile again.

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

"Disney has been working hard to establish a solid cooperative relationship with China. We have in-depth cooperation with Huayi in "Harry Potter". A young Chinese girl will soon play an important role in "Harry Potter", and..."

Ryan talked a lot, but in fact, it was mostly the work that he had been working hard in recent years.

The Ms. Yang on the opposite side is a smart person. She has been studying in the United States for many years and knows what Ryan's identity and wealth represent, but she never touches on any sensitive issues.

Her interviews are also wanted to be promoted to North America, and negotiations with ABC TV station have been underway.

Finally, she made a small joke, "Ryan, you have a very kind nickname among Chinese supporters. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

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

The audience and Yang Lan laughed at the same time.

"I know it's a way for them to express their love for me," Ryan then said, "I like it, actually."
