The broadcast of the interview program has played a certain degree of publicity role. Whether the capital is official or private, pursuing interests is a natural commonality. China Film Group has been building momentum for the film. Although the box office declined in the next two weeks, it basically stabilized by about 20 million yuan.

However, the journey of "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" in Chinese theaters ends here, and whether the film can continue to be released does not come to the market.

As an imported film from Hollywood, it is almost impossible to obtain the "secret key" of a certain game. "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" was released four weeks after its release, and it was fully discharged from Chinese theaters.

Even after only less than a month of release, the movie still won 120 million yuan in China. Although it was converted into US dollars and less than 20 million, this result was very good under the current restrictions of the number of screens and the audience group.

If the delay can be obtained, it would be no problem to break 200 million videos.

Although he could only get 20% of the share, Ryan was still very satisfied with this trip to China. This was just the beginning. The Chinese market was not yet at the forefront, and he and Disney had already determined some advantages.

Moreover, the popularity of movies such as "Heroes" and "The Lord of the Rings" has also made the capital here pay attention to the theater market. News from Disney's Far East branch said that many Chinese groups have recently been preparing to enter the theater industry.

When "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" was released, many big cities were hard to get tickets during prime time. Only with enough screens could there be a market for carrying movies.

Compared with the Chinese market, which has just entered a stage of rapid development, North America is still the most important vote base in Hollywood.

After the first two weeks of popularity, the film inevitably entered a rapid cooling phase, and the box office in the third week plummeted to $45.2 million.

By the fourth week, as other movies were released one after another, the number of theaters dropped to more than 2,700. The box office of a single-week single-stage studio also dropped below 10,000 US dollars, and the box office figures for the new week remained above 24.79 million US dollars.

In just less than a month, the North American box office of "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" has reached 270 million US dollars, showing the momentum of the annual box office champion.

At the same time, the movie was gradually entering the end of the screening period in overseas regions where it was released simultaneously, and the box office growth became slower. However, in a month, the film won more than 700 million US dollars from the world, almost catching up with more than 800 million US dollars of last year's world box office champion "Spider-Man".

Some new overseas regions, such as Russia and the Arab world, have joined the screening ranks, and these are new box office growth points. Moreover, according to the predictions of several professional institutions, "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" has a global box office of over $1 billion.

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy series has led the trend of magical epics in the world, and many people have become beneficiaries.

For example, the custodian of Tolkien's works and his descendants received considerable copyright fees and share; for example, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom, with this series, became a first-line Hollywood actor. It can be said to have both fame and fortune; for example, Andy Serkins, although he hardly showed his true appearance in the movie, he created the greatest motion capture character, Guru, who can be regarded as the leader in this industry...

The two people who benefited the most were definitely Ryan and Peter Jackson.

Needless to say, Ryan is, although the character in "The Lord of the Rings" is only icing on the cake for him, he has received huge monetary returns.

Peter Jackson, a big fat man in New Zealand, became one of the most popular directors in Hollywood in the new century after the release of the third part. Not to mention the total of $10 million in the trilogy and the box office share of 5% in the media's mouth, he almost became a super director who could stand shoulder to shoulder with James Cameron and Stephen Spielberg.

Peter Jackson is now in a glorious place, and many professional media believe that he will be one of the most powerful contenders for the Oscar Best Director next year.

Of course, Ryan knew where Peter Jackson’s flaws were. Although "Silver" was still in his hand, he did not intend to release it immediately. Let the fat man continue to harm Universal Pictures. Without encountering a major failure, how could his gradually expanding heart restrain himself?

He has heard that this crazy Lord of the Rings fan and King Kong fan are contacting Universal Pictures to bring Universal’s most famous character back to the screen.

Well... Maybe I can recommend a heroine to him. Both parties have a happy collaboration on "The Lord of the Rings". I believe the fat man will definitely consider it.

"Hey, hey, hey, my dear brother Ryan!"

Taylor's voice came from the side, "Are you here to help or make trouble? Do you want to break Nat's favorite vase?"

Ryan, holding an abstract vase, quickly came back to his senses from his random thoughts, turned to Tyler, and walked into the living room of the villa.

This is Natalie's villa in North Hollywood, covering an area of ​​about two acres. After graduating from Harvard, she handled some private affairs in New York and officially moved to Los Angeles. She became a neighbor with Scarlett Johnson, who had moved out of her home for a long time.

"Nate, where is this?"

Walking to Natalie, who was acting as a commander in the center of the living room, Ryan pointed the large vase he was holding with his chin.

"Put it at the door." Natalie pointed to the other side. After Ryan put it down, she shouted to Scarlett who came down from the upper floor, "Scarlett, help clean up the lilies that Taylor brought. Our work today will be completed."

"Okay, I'll go now."

The blonde girl ran out of the villa and soon walked in with a large bouquet of flowers and inserted it into the vase that Ryan had put.

"Oh, I'm finally finished."

Taylor walked to the sofa and fell on the high backrest, "Nate's new home is very beautiful."

She turned her head and looked at Scarlett sitting on the single sofa, "It's much better than you."

"Alison!" Scarlett bared his teeth, threw away the towel that wiped his sweat, and continued, "You don't speak, no one treats you like an egg!"

"Have you ever seen such a beautiful egg in my place?" The little girl almost jumped up and rushed to Scarlett, making a fuss, "It sounds more like an egg, and it's round and feels great to touch!"

As she said that, her hand pressed on Scarlett's chest and pinched it twice, "Wow, Scarlett, you're getting bigger again!"

"Do you think every girl is like you?" Scarlett fought back without hesitation, "I'll be fourteen soon, but I'll be at the airport!"

"Hey! You little fat girl..." This almost hit the girl's pain point, and Taylor almost jumped up again.

Natalie looked here, Ryan winked at her, the girl from Long Island walked over and pulled away the two girls who were hugging each other, "Okay, Scarlett, Alison, what do you want to do?"

"Nothing..." Taylor stuck out his tongue, raised his nose at Scarlett, walked to Ryan, and sat on the couch.

The two girls have been used to having sex since childhood, and Ryan didn't care and sorted out her scattered blonde hair, "Dear, you are a big girl now, but you are still so naughty."

"She will always be a little brat who never grows up." Scarlett said to the side while tidying up her T-shirt, "especially in front of you, Ryan."

"No." Taylor held Ryan's arm and turned his head to the other side.

She has obviously entered a period of rapid development. She has been growing taller during this period and has completely surpassed Scarlett and Natalie, but in front of people close to her, she still looks like a scoundrel...

After leaving the wealthy area where Natalie and Scarlett live, Ryan and his group came to an Italian restaurant near Laurel Valley Avenue.

There were not many people in the restaurant. Ryan found a quiet seat by the window. After ordering the dishes, several girls sat together and chatted.

"Cheers to Nat to move to Los Angeles!"

Although the cups were filled with juice, everyone's cups clinked together after Ryan's suggestion.

"Cheers to Scarlett for winning the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival!" After everyone was filled with juice, Natalie suggested again.

"Yes, toast to Scarlett!" Taylor quickly agreed.

"Thanks!"

After clinking the glasses, Scarlett Johnson turned here, "Thank you, Ryan."

"You're welcome." Ryan smiled, "We are friends, we should help each other. Besides, this kind of opportunity is rare."

The chairman of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival is Judy Foster. Public relations are relatively easy, but Sophia Coppola lost the Palme d'Or.

A total of $8 million in investment in "Lost Tokyo" comes from Ryan, and even for later profits, he will find a way to gilt the movie.

"What are your shooting plans next?"

While eating a pretty authentic Italian meal, Natalie asked Ryan.

"If you want to adapt a movie, it may take longer." Ryan put down the cutlery, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth. "The movie adapted from the declassified Iran hostage incident is now negotiating with the CIA so that he can get the authorization as soon as possible. What about you, Nat? You are now graduating, do you have any plans?"

"Take a movie that you are interested in." Natalie looked at the two girls who were muttering across the street, and her energy returned to Ryan. "Then continue to learn the knowledge of directors. Only by walking this path can I realize that it is really not easy."

She smiled at Ryan, "How is it possible if you don't work hard if you want to achieve something? Scarlett and I are planning to shoot an experimental movie."

"Keep confidential?" Ryan asked.
