As night fell, the black Lincoln car drove into Hollywood Boulevard and headed westward towards the Emirates Rock Theater.
”How is it? Tired?”
On the back seat, George was in a good mood. After all, the potential reputation brought by the success of ”Furious” was partly blessed on him. His position within the company is also getting higher and higher, as if he is a shareholder partner. The direction goes on.
”After running so many days of publicity, I still have to rush over to participate in the premiere of ”Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings”. It's very hard.” George looked concerned, but where was he himself? , No, I have been busy.I heard that the day before yesterday, I found out about the movie's release situation in Australia, and then I have time to return to China.
”It's okay. After this period of work, I can rest for a while.” Lehman shook his head and said.
In the spacious interior, only Lehman and George were seated.
One is to represent the position of Europa Pictures, and the other is to be invited by CAA to come and support.
As for Thomas and Ryan staying in the hotel, they did not want to come.In fact, Lehman didn't want to, but this thing about contacts always needs to be maintained.
CAA has also contributed to this project, and he is a customer of CAA, with a very simple interpersonal relationship. Kevin Hoween personally called to invite him, and he had to agree to his request to be present.
Lincoln quickly arrived at the parking lot of the Emirates Rock Theater. Lyman and George got out of the car and walked toward the passage.
People from CAA and New Line Films were waiting here for a long time, leading them directly through the red carpet to the inside of the theater.
Inside, it was brightly lit and full of voices, as if a grand premiere was about to be held. In fact, just looking at the reporters, media and movie fans on both sides of the road outside can tell.
”Hi, Mr. Peter Jackson,” Lehman just walked into the theater hall when he spotted Peter Jackson, the director of The Lord of the Rings, and greeted him on the initiative, saying, ”I wish you a big box office.”
”Thank you, I recognize you, Director Lyman, I have watched your work ”Furious”, it is very exciting.”
Peter Jackson is a New Zealander, and he looks a little fat, not as big as his later generations.At this moment, he took the initiative to hold Lehman's right hand, smiled and said, ”Thank you for coming to join me. I'm very happy.”
”Me too. I have always liked this grand story written by Tolkien. You can adapt it so well and put it on the big screen. It's really admirable.”
Does everyone carry the sedan chair? Saying nice things is always the best way to draw the relationship between two strangers who have never met.
Sure enough, when he heard this, Peter Jackson laughed happily, and the hearty laughter made many people in the theater look here.
He is really happy. As a loyal fan of the ”Lord of the Rings” series, he is always proud to present the Middle-earth world under Tolkien's idol through images.Lehman's words scratched his itch.
As for Lyman, although most of the polite elements are, the Lord of the Rings series are indeed his favorite movie works in his previous life.
In the original novel, the magnificent war scenes and the exotic charm of various magical arts made ”The Lord of the Rings” once considered the most unlikely novel to be transformed into a movie.
But Peter Jackson, Tolkien's book fan, did it, and it was even better than many people thought.
The hobbit village like a paradise, Rivendell like a fairyland on earth, the formidable ring spirit and the burning Sauron like a volcano, as for the scene depicting the battle of the two towers today and the battle of Mordor in the latter part , Is also turned into reality.
This is really admirable, and even the filming location has become the world's most popular tourist destination. I have to say how charming ”Lord of the Rings” is.
The only pity is that after director Peter Jackson stepped into the ranks of Hollywood's top directors with this series in one fell swoop, there is not much glories to be seen.
It can be said that Tolkien succeeded and Tolkien failed.
The threshold is too high, and getting stuck is the most embarrassing place.
However, it can be regarded as leaving a strong mark in the history of film.
After another polite sentence with Peter Jackson, seeing someone walk in from the theater gate on the red carpet, Lyman also took the initiative to say goodbye.
At this time, most of the movie theaters were high-level producers, actors, directors, and several investors.
Each has its own small group, they chatted, Lehman greeted at will, and did not go up to join in the fun.
”Congratulations, Lyman.”
Hearing the greeting, looking back, I saw that CAA partner Kevin Howen was walking by. He looked very enthusiastic and his tone was quite sincere. ”There is another film with a box office of over 100 million, which is amazing.”
”Thank you.” Lehman said humbly, ”It's just luck.”
”Luck? It doesn't make sense. One success can be said to be accidental, but it is a skill to be able to reap something one after another, Lehmann.” Stopped, Kevin Howian stood next to Lehmann, again Take the initiative to say: ”Come, I will take you to meet a few people.”
Kevin Hoween led the way forward, Lehman looked at George sideways and found that he was chatting happily and didn't say anything, just keeping up with the pace.
