Chapter 261 Return of the King

"Wow, so beautiful."

Looking at Eva Green sitting in the business car, Lehman sincerely praised her.

The girl wore a lilac off-shoulder skirt with long fluttering hair, giving people a very stunning and feminine feeling.

It seems that the costume stylists Johnson found for her are quite useful.

It highlights the girl's temperament very much.

"Do you think it's good-looking, too?" Eva smiled, as if she was satisfied with Leman's performance.

......

"I'm going, I'm so slutty?"

At the scene of the Louel Theater, Lehman was surprised to see the red carpet that wanted to break through the sidewalk and the lively moviegoers.

"Is this the third part? The first two parts have created a great momentum. It can't be the end of the last part, which is even more shabby than before. What's more, Xinyi Film is still preparing to compete for the Oscars for this film. How can you do without some momentum?" Johnson sighed a little.

By the way, Harvey Weinstein is still one of the producers of this movie, but because he lost to Xinshi for the copyright lawsuit, the two had a breakup for a while. Later, Xinshi privately promised some of the benefits to Harvey, which led to the help of this public relations master.

"Okay, it's time for us to get off the bus."

Seeing the main creators come to the finale, it is their turn.

Lehman opened the car door and got out of the car first. Then he held Eva's arm and greeted her.

Walking all the way to the interview area, Lehman did not let go of holding Eva's hand.

The signal of his behavior has been given very obvious.

It looks quite like he shows intimacy in public, and Johnson, who was walking behind them, took the initiative to distance himself a little, and he was more like a single dog without anyone's interest.

Many reporters have also noticed Eva when Toleman's current fame.

For a moment, the flashing lights kept causing pain in the eyes of the person who shone directly.

In front of the theater, the fat New Zealand man was still greeting guests to enter, and next to him was Shea, the president of Xinyi Film.

"Director Jackson, congratulations on the release of the new film."

Leman held Eva's hand and walked forward with a smile.

"Haha, you're here. Let's have a drink together when you have time tonight." Peter Jackson hugged Lehman with a chic smile.

"Who is this?"

"Eva Green, my girlfriend."

Lehman introduced.

"Hello, Director Jackson." Eva reached out to Peter Jackson with a generous look.

"Hello. Thank you for supporting us."

Smile as always.

After entering the cinema, he greeted several acquaintances a few more times, and Lehman sat in his seat with peace of mind.

His position is in the middle of the third row, with directors and producers next to him, and Eva sits beside him.

About half an hour later, the interview session of the main creator arrived.

Looking at the people on the stage recalling the bitterness and sweetness, and talking about various interesting things during the shooting, Lehmann's eyes were on a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

This person is Richard Taylor, the leader of the special effects team in charge of "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King".

This guy almost became famous in the industry with the "Lord of the Rings" series. From the first part, the New Zealand-born visual effects filmmaker gradually emerged and won the Best Makeup and Best Visual Effects Award at the 72nd Academy Awards, and later founded Vita Studios.

Since then, his name has always been associated with major directors such as Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, and James Cameron.

In addition to the "Lord of the Rings" series, some of the wonderful scene construction and character models of Meilun on the planet Pandora in "Avatar" are also the results of him and his studio. He is a truly powerful special effects master.

Lehman looked at him and was very interested in attracting him. Unfortunately, Vita Studio has become a climate and can't get it without a billion, so I just thought about it.

......

After the movie began, Lehman found it quite interesting.

Although he has watched this movie before, it does not prevent him from watching it again from another perspective.

To be honest, Peter Jackson really deserves the title of Tolkien's hardcore book fan. Several scenes such as the Battle of Palano Plains, the Battle of Black Gate relies on real shooting and cg models to restore it to the greatest extent.

This guy started planning and adapting "The Lord of the Rings" in 1995. At that time, his old boss was Miramax, and Harvey also provided 10 million US dollars for him to prepare for the preliminary preparations (Harvey had a good vision, but had a bad personality, and he also liked to play some tricks. In addition to Quentin, many directors who had worked with him finally chose to leave him). After the project was established, in order to find a buyer, Harvey and Jackson visited a number of film dealers.

In the end, Shayer, the former president of Xinyi Films, took a fancy to him. After seeing Jackson's early work, he also said a famous golden sentence: "The original work of "The Lord of the Rings" is a trilogy, why doesn't the movie do this?"

That's right, the concept of the trilogy was proposed by Shayer. At that time, Hollywood was not popular sequel production. Peter Jackson originally wanted to get "The Lord of the Rings", but after hearing Shayer's proposal, he probably loved the Mr. President to death and took the initiative to give up part of his adaptation copyright to the new line. This is why Harvey had a conflict with the new line later. All three parties held some copyright, but overall, Harvey had the least, and Peter Jackson betrayed his old club and turned to the new line.

The two combined, which made Harvey lose the right to speak for this project. Seeing that the first part was profitable, Harvey could not bear such exclusion and decisively sued the two in court. However, the court was not an Oscar. Harvey had no acquaintances and was fucked down directly. In the end, he accepted the recruitment in shame and operated the Oscars for the "Lord of the Rings" series, striving to maximize profits, and drink some soup.

However, Peter Jackson's thoughts were easy to understand at the time.

Before that, he was just a B-level director who achieved some minor results. He had made three or four movies, and the total box office was less than 30 million US dollars. He actually won this large production series that was rare in the history of films, with a total investment of up to 300 million.

With such great trust and kindness, it is no wonder that he abandoned Harvey. Harvey has never supported him like this.

Comparing the two, is it necessary to say who to choose?

Furthermore, in order to faithfully restore Middle-earth, this guy took three years to write scripts and scene simulations, from preparations in 2005 to release the first film in 2001, which lasted a full six years.

Without such a thorough understanding of the original work and the exhausting energy to prepare, it would be impossible to have the current glory.

The fantasy epic trilogy is well deserved.
Chapter completed!
