Chapter 170

As Harvey Weinstein said, Hollywood today is the Hollywood of Star Wars.

Lucas Productions spent $200 million on a fierce advertising campaign just on publicity, which also brought a high degree of attention to the film.

If it weren't for Rhea Nolen's incident that grabbed a large part of the media's attention, the news that the "Star Wars" movie was a big success and hard to find tickets would definitely dominate the screen for a longer time.

But this does not affect the audience's enthusiastic support for this sci-fi interstellar blockbuster.

The North American box office has been rising all the way, and the global box office trend curve is also very good. If nothing else, this "Star Wars" should be the movie of the year.

After all, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" is being played in theaters almost all over the world, and the film's attendance rate has remained high.

AMC's No. 7 Hills Cinema in Manhattan has thirty screenings for the film today.

When the movie at 2 o'clock in the afternoon finished playing, the lights came on, the audience started to get up and leave, and the thank you list of the production team began to scroll on the screen, everything was normal.

No one has the patience to read those lists.The audience soon dispersed, and there were only a few people sitting in the movie hall. The screen finally went dark, and the last few audience members also left.

At this moment, the lights in the hall went out, leaving the scattered audience in place.

"Damn, what's going on?"

"Is the movie theater out of order?"

"Damn it! I lost my phone, can someone help me clear it up..."

Soon they didn't have time to complain, and after a brief blackout, the big screen slowly lit up again, sinking into another world from the usual wide-open universe lens in "Star Wars".

But here is neither a deserted planet nor an alien civilization full of flying machines. Instead, it enters a living plain, a dripping cave, a flowing stream, and a dense jungle. The camera is like people's first time. A point of view generally travels continuously.

Two or three short, big-footed villains ran over on the grass.

There was even a shadow of a giant dragon flying faintly in the sky in the distance.

In the quiet forest, a white deer seems to have jumped by, and some slender figures with pointed ears are plucking bows and arrows.But whenever people try to open their eyes wide to see clearly what the characters in the picture are doing, the camera turns over the next moment.

This perspective is constantly scrolling, unlike the human eye.

Then the frame shrinks, and a little golden glitter emerges from the edge of the lens

Yuan rolled into the center of the picture, and people finally noticed that it was a gold ring!It turns out that the angle of view is chasing after it.

It's just that those scenes were done so realistically that they wanted to see the background more.

The ring gradually slowed down and grew bigger with each touch, gradually taking up the entire space of the frame, almost as if it was rolling towards the audience in front of the screen.

In the next moment, something they couldn't believe happened. The ring seemed to break free from the plane, and even the naked eye could see the bulge on the edge.

When the ring "dropped" out, there was even a real male audience member trying to reach for it.

"what!"

A beast-like roar sounded suddenly, scaring him back to his seat, and even the audience who hadn't moved in place jumped up in shock.

"This is my baby!"

Immediately afterwards, a strange thing with wrinkled skin and a hideous face struggled out of the frame of the film, finally revealing the real owner of this strange perspective. His sharp nails tore through the curtain, pointing directly at every audience, someone screamed in fright.

The lights turned on again, and the words "The Lord of the Rings" release preview, please look forward to it popped up on the screen, but these people were still immersed in the emotions just now.

Only this time did the theater staff come in to clear the scene.

Someone immediately said: "This is not right, I don't believe this is just a movie. Those things seem to have come true..."

The staff explained according to the instructions: "The Lord of the Rings uses new special effects, which will bring a stronger sense of immersion."

"No, I actually felt it coming out! I swear I even felt the wind blowing through the roar!" one man argued incredulously.

"If you still have any doubts, welcome to watch the movie and see if the things inside will really come out."

He kept emphasizing: "This is definitely not just special effects!"

As soon as he came out of the movie theater, he immediately posted the matter to the movie discussion forum of RN.com, sharing the latest news about the trailer of "Lord of the Rings" with his friends.

Then he quickly discovered that he was no longer the first person to see the trailer.

"My movie theater showed elves. I hated them for not showing a clear picture. When I looked carefully, an arrow swished over, almost scaring me to death!"

"I know, Rhea Noren is playing the fairy princess in it, right, I really want to see her look. Regardless of all the mess, she is really a beauty for the screen."

"I saw

dwarves..."

"I saw a ring and a monster chasing me!" the audience at Manhattan's AMC theater claimed.

"Wow, you saw the Lord of the Rings! Did Gollum scare you?" Replies kept popping up, and some book fans explained the background of the story below.

"I heard that real people got rings."

"I believe it. Seriously, it doesn't look like a movie effect at all. Does anyone feel like I have a real bump? Is there a staff hiding in it?"

"Don't be silly, this is just a movie, but the effect is really amazing, I want to see the movie now!"

"Wait, why didn't I see the trailer? Can't they put the ad in more places? Like TV!"

The heat of the discussion rose instantly, and the movie section of RN.com was filled up at once, and there were almost no other movies related to it on the first page.

At the same time, "Lord of the Rings" posters and advertising screens also began to be launched, but they were not as high-profile as "Star Wars".

"No! This is different from what I saw in the cinema." More than one audience protested.

Some people find that the commercials on TV don't match the feeling of watching in the movie theater at all, and the explanation is just "the movie is better in the movie theater."

It is easy to convince most people that those who have seen the preview effect are more eager for the movie, and those who have not seen the movie trailer are also more curious.

Whether they are Tolkien fans or not, but everyone's appetite is whetted now.

"This is cheating!"

The heroine of "Star Wars" felt that was unfair.

Natalie Portman complained: "They are using the popularity of "Star Wars" to build momentum for themselves. Why would George allow them to do this?"

That was the brainchild of George Lucas, who would be willing to use his work to advertise other film series?

Even though the trailer wasn't an insertion, it started playing after it was over, and it was just a random part of the film, but it was still using Star Wars.

Natalie's mother can only say: "Fox is working very closely with Rhea Nolen now, they are very cooperative. George is convinced."

After all, Star Wars is distributed by Twentieth Century Fox.

"How can he nod? George hates other people interfering with his work!" Natalie couldn't figure it out: "Isn't this creating a competitor for "Star Wars" now? Why give your audience to "Lord of the Rings"? "

"It's fantasy

Movies, strictly speaking, are not the benchmark works of "Star Wars". ’ Ms Portman explained to her daughter.

This is the simplest statement. If you go deeper into the interests behind Fox and the complicated matter that George Lucas wants to obtain other investment income through Rhea, it is difficult for her to explain clearly.

So she can only use other analysis to appease Natalie.

"Don't worry baby, Star Wars was made by George himself, and Lord of the Rings couldn't have been more Tolkien. And we all know what 'fantasy movies' are like in Hollywood."

As Ms. Portman eased her daughter's nervousness, she comforted herself in the same way.

"Lord of the Rings" is not small, which makes Ms. Portman feel the pressure.Whenever she felt that Rhea Nolen could not hold on anymore and was about to collapse, Rhea came back quickly.

And it's such a grand and powerful comeback.

But why this time?

Just when the "Star Wars" in which Natalie participated was about to become the box office champion, watching "Lord of the Rings" coming fiercely, she didn't even have the slightest intention to avoid "Star Wars".

Ms. Portman knew very well that Rhea Noren was here to grab the first box office.

Rhea wants to declare that she is the undefeated queen of Hollywood!

And it did succeed in attracting the attention of the whole of Hollywood.

One of the most authoritative film magazines, "Movie Handbook", directly commented: "If the entire film of "Lord of the Rings" can achieve such an effect, then this will usher in a new era of special effects in Hollywood!"

The Hollywood Reporter said: "Is it magic, new technology, or a gimmick?"

Film critic Gene Siskel mentioned in an article for "Premiere": "Even if it's just a teaser, they should invite some professionals to be there, and now the rumors are everywhere, and the old friends are hungry. .

Although I didn't get to experience the 'special effects' preview, I'm still very much looking forward to the film and would love to see Rhea in action again..."

Audiences just want to see good blockbuster movies.

But people in the industry have begun to think about whether the technology has been fully matured, or is it just a small piece of publicity to attract box office?

The answers here affect the entire industry.

If it wasn't for Tolkien's book, if it wasn't for Rhea Noren, they had to see it.

So what the hell is going on?

Why such a technology when no one is paying attention

Then, it was suddenly produced?What are other production companies and teams doing?Why don't you know anything about it?

Is it really possible to achieve this effect by watching videos purely with the naked eye without relying on other equipment?

Not only did Hollywood have such questions, but the US government also had similar questions, and soon someone came to Rhea:

"What did you do?"

It seems that the effect of publicity is indeed unparalleled - even the above noticed it so quickly.

Of course, Rhea also knows that she is a sensitive person now.

Every pair of eyes was on her, but that didn't mean she couldn't do anything. In fact, it was precisely because of this that Rhea dared to do it directly, because no one dared to do anything to her under the gaze of so many forces.

No matter which side the enemy or friend is, they are standing still.

Oh, except for that smug Lena Luthor...

"Don't take risks, Rhea, we can't solve all your troubles for you."

Phil Coulson worried about her: "Don't tell me that there are mutants in the movie theater - psychological suggestion or hypnosis? You're not going to do it when the feature film is released, are you?"
