Hollywood Rhapsody

Attending the premiere will naturally accept interviews, but this is the first time I have received an exclusive interview in the movie viewing channel.

That reporter is also really good. Seeing that the two of them did not turn their backs after taking the sneak shot, he simply came together to conduct an interview in a decent manner. Although what he wanted to ask most in his heart was the progress of Sarah and Leonardo's relationship, but seeing that the two did not He wisely did not ask any more about the intimate act of holding hands and arms. The focus of the interview was naturally not on Lily Potter, Sarah's cameo role, but on whether Sarah's name would appear on the list of post-production special effects again. What kind of special effects work is La responsible for this time?The question was asked very professionally, and even asked that "Lord of the Rings" is the godson of the Starlight Company, and Harry Potter is the out-and-out son. As the boss of the film company, would Sarah know how to Bet more energy on your son.

This question made Sarah dumbfounded. Of course, she would not talk about the different treatment between her own son and her godson. To be honest, she paid more attention to her godson in "The Lord of the Rings". Gollum is the focus of her work, but " Sarah is also in charge of the house elf Dobby in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, so she has no psychological burden at all to answer: "We have applied a brand-new motion expression capture technology to complete the important supporting role of this part, Dobby the elf." , if I had very little Lily Potter in the movie, maybe I should say that in this sequel, I'm really involved with Dobby."

While talking, Sarah made an exaggerated expression, pretending that she was the house elf. She had some impressions of this reporter. Michael once said it after his trip to Edinburgh many years ago, and it seemed that he was very popular in the British paparazzi circle. Status, in this case, continue to form a good relationship!

One of the most anticipated characters in the second part is the elf Dobby, whose popularity among readers is even higher than that of Lucius Malfoy. Readers have already imagined all kinds of characters in their minds Dobby, and today with the premiere of the movie, they will also officially see this role.

Compared with the first "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the magical visual effects of the movie have improved, and there are as many as 950 special effects shots, accounting for a larger proportion. From the appearance of Dobby the house elf at the beginning, to the appearance of Harry Potter Two little boys, Porter and Ron Wesley, completed the drag racing in the air. The opening of the movie made moviegoers hooked. They are used to racing on highways and urban downtown areas in police movies, and then watch "Harry Potter" With the cars flying in the air, viewers can't help but sigh - the magic world really has its own personality, and the drag racing has reached new heights!

Immediately after that, students were petrified in Hogwarts Castle. Strange voices appeared in Harry Potter's ears. The ability of Harry Potter's snake whisperer was exposed. It was poured on his head... the superficial Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the ghost myrtle who always cried and had a weird personality, the basilisk raised by Voldemort, and the one who scared Ron to sit on the ground The giant spider happened in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft. The magical scenes were staged on the big screen. The second "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" undoubtedly successfully completed the perfect continuation of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" Write.

The box office performance of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is also as gratifying as the first one. It even broke all the opening records held by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" once it was released in the UK, setting a record of 18.90 during the premiere. 3600 pounds, and landed in North America a week later, it also airborne the box office rankings with a sweeping momentum. It premiered in 9 theaters and won [-] million box office on the weekend.

"There is no suspense in the first week that the box office exceeded 1 million, and there is no need to worry about the issue of return. The box office in North America alone reached 3 million in the first week, and according to the box office performance of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", it accounted for 70% The overseas market is the big one." Michael got the box office report immediately, but soon he shifted his attention to another report, which belonged to another movie "007: Die Another Day", produced by Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry starred in the 007 series blockbusters. At the same time, they seized the Thanksgiving market of North American movies with their movies.

"It's premiere, of course the momentum is stronger." Sarah looked at the weekend box office report, "007: Die Another Day" premiered on the second weekend of Harry Potter's release, and 3314 theaters opened. With a box office of 4700 million, this kind of performance is not very brilliant, only less than 400 million more than the weekend box office of the second week of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". There will be a downward trend, followed by the fight in the Christmas season. When the box office performance of the second part of "Harry Potter" is weak, "Lord of the Rings" should also debut!Therefore, Starlight Company and Warner Bros. are still the biggest winners in this year's Christmas season. Because the two big box office tycoons are their own family members, they have arranged their release dates amicably, and those caught in the middle of them have to default silently. !

It is precisely because of this that after the Christmas season last year, other studios have learned their lessons, and their blockbuster films have actively avoided this dangerous period. It was released early in May, and didn't join in the fun during the Thanksgiving Christmas season.Therefore, Tobey Maguire is often embarrassed in front of Leonardo, because the "Spider-Man" starring him is still the box office champion of this year according to the current statistics. With this superhero image, he is also very popular , Even the vase heroine Kirsten Dunst has greatly increased in popularity, which made Toby talk to Leonardo more than once that it was because Leonardo broke up with Sarah that he was killed by Sarah. To vent my anger, I failed to invite Sarah to join "Spider-Man".

To this, Leonardo just sneered three times in return——Sarah venting her anger?If you can make Sarah, a sensible girl, vent her anger on someone, that's a skill!As for why Sarah rejected "Spider-Man"...Leonardo kindly shut up, it's not easy to tell his good brother that Sarah doesn't look down on "Spider-Man" at all, right?Or maybe Sarah is afraid that she is too tall, and the visual effects of being a couple with Toby will not match?Hey, forget it, let my good brother continue to have fun!

It's just that the old things were brought up again, which made Leonardo feel a little bit emotional. When Toby asked him to match him, Sarah didn't even answer his phone calls. What a terrible and dark time it was!Now, the good times finally came to an end, and Toby's words reminded him to cherish his eyes, and the photos from the premiere of "Harry Potter" must be spread as far as possible!In the future, I will choose the best one to enlarge and print it out. Of course, such a historic moment should be hung on the bedside of the bedroom!

After the release of "Harry Potter" and before the release of "Lord of the Rings", Sarah didn't need to show her face in public, but Michael definitely didn't let her idle.Such a capable little girl naturally had to squeeze it hard, so when Sarah was studying the script of "Irene Doesn't Cry", she was so startled by a "bang" that she almost fell off her chair and looked up at the airborne space in her office. Huge box on the table.Immediately, she had a bad feeling - this scene is too familiar!It's just that there is no cute little Noah on the cardboard box in front of her, and there is no little milk dog in the arms of little Noah, but she can think of what is in the box without asking her.

"How long have you been accumulating scripts? Do I have to receive a box like this every one or two years?" Sarah pinched a stack of manuscripts with two fingers, and said rather disgustedly, "What the hell is this? An entirely handwritten script?"

"Although computers are popular now, you should understand that there are many potential stocks who love to create but do not have sufficient financial conditions. They are hidden in the crowds of people waiting for you to discover. Think about JK Rowling, Harry Potter who swept the world is also in the coffee In comparison, the handwritten manuscript in front of you is already very formal!" Michael chuckled, judging people by appearance is not right, and it is not right to judge by paper!

"OK, how long does it take me to finish a box like this? Don't tell me it's before Lord of the Rings goes global, or do you want me to take this box on a plane? A round-the-world trip?" Sarah's schedule The table is already full, and the next thing to do is to participate in the promotion of "The Lord of the Rings". Even if Michael wants to squeeze her labor force, it is impossible for him to do such an unscrupulous thing... right?

Then, she actually traveled around the world with the script!

"The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" is Sarah's first full-time publicity film after graduation. The crew finally got together this time. Last year's promotion was all male-colored, and many media shouted that the crew was out of balance. This year, there are not only Sarah but also Cate Blanchett. In the movie, one of the two beauties is gentle and the other is domineering, but the real world has a very different aura. Chet is a funny-talker, she shouted more than once, "It's a pity that I don't have a scene with my granddaughter!" All the way through the publicity, she teased and teased Sarah, which made Janet start to doubt Blanche. Ms. Te's sexual orientation, is this elf queen going to attack her "granddaughter"?

On December 12th, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" officially premiered in New York, and then there was a non-stop global promotion. Speaking of which, this is the first time that Sarah has been so dedicated to follow the whole process of overseas promotion!

"If it's an ordinary movie, supporting actresses who don't have many roles can freely choose whether to participate in global overseas promotion. After all, every star's schedule is limited, and time is precious. No one wants to travel all over the world for a mere supporting role. " Ada handed the mask to Sarah, and explained to Janet who was preparing the dress. This was the first time that Janet traveled with Sarah except for the trip to the UK in "Harry Potter". Because I like this little girl, I can't help but say a few more words. If she gets busy in the future, she may have Janet to follow Sarah alone, so it will be easy for her to train Janet earlier.

"I understand. Although Sarah doesn't have many roles in "The Lord of the Rings", she is the lead actress, so she has to participate in overseas promotion, right?" Janette nodded, feeling that she thought of Sarah and the group's promotion reason.

But while putting on the mask, Sarah said vaguely: "It's also because this is a film invested by Starlight Company, so I shouldn't be absent due to emotion and reason."

"Besides, the "Lord of the Rings" series is very popular overseas. It is not bad for Sarah to go around with the crew. Overseas popularity and box office appeal are also a manifestation of an actor's strength." Ada pointed out this journey with a smile. The advantage of Lawton is that both "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" have performed very well at the overseas box office. In recent years, major studios have also paid more and more attention to overseas markets, so it is very important for Sarah to accumulate overseas popularity. necessary.

Janet is like a middle school student who listens carefully to the lecture, and only needs to concentrate on taking notes!Seeing this, Sarah kept lying on her back and put on the mask, and added softly: "What's more, I'm still a newcomer... Don't laugh, I just passed my 22nd birthday, can I be considered an old man?"

"Not really." Janet shook her head quickly.

Sarah suppressed a chuckle before continuing with satisfaction: "No matter how many awards I have won or how much the media praises me, I am still a junior in the industry after all, especially since I was absent from many important award ceremonies in order to complete my studies. Well, the movies I participated in didn’t run the whole process of publicity. If you measure it by the standards of an actor, this is called not dedicated enough, so after graduation, you must perform well, and get a good image of love and dedication. This is in line with the juniors in the circle. The attitude it should have."

Janet listened to Sarah and Ada's explanation, her small mouth was slightly open for a long time and she forgot to close it. She never thought that Sarah would have so many considerations in participating in a movie promotion, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed this Reasons, even the first few reasons are secondary, and establishing a dedicated image as an actress is what Sarah attaches the most importance to.As long as there is a good movie in terms of popularity and box office appeal, it will not be able to add much to her going this trip, but if she is in Hollywood, if her own reputation is not good, there is no telling what the consequences will be.Playing big names at a young age, not cooperating with the crew's publicity plan, not being in the group... and so on. A series of arguments may be derived. At that time, a few opportunities will be lost, important roles will be missed, and even important awards will be lost. These human factors are too big. Who can tell?

Their schedule makes one's scalp tingle at first glance. They will go to France on December 12, fly to the UK on December 10, and then fly to New Zealand, the "hometown" of the movie, on December 12. Although New Zealand may not be able to contribute much at the box office , but the movie was produced in New Zealand, so no matter what, you have to show your face "back home".After that, the crew will separate, and Cate Blanchett will go to her hometown of Australia with "Elf Prince" Orlando Bloom and "Gandalf" Ian McKellen, while Sarah will go to her hometown of Australia with the couple in the movie "Party" "The King of Aragon" Viggo Mortensen, and the biggest protagonist "Master Frodo" Elijah Wood and others flew to Taiwan and Hong Kong.

It's a pity that the mainland has a domestic box office protection policy. During the good time at the end of the year, the box office predator "Lord of the Rings" will not be allowed to appear, but the person Sarah wants to meet can still be seen in Hong Kong.

The author has something to say: Hehehe, everyone misses Fanwai so much, ah, I have to think about it!

Here I want to say something in particular, the first episode of Fanwai was written purely by Lin Lin’s nonsensical brains, don’t associate it with the main text,

In 2004, they were probably not married yet, and the child might not be born.

Let the stupid author think about it, where did the extra episodes come from?Bad brain, forgot, hahahaha
