The article in the entertainment headline of the Los Angeles Times satirized all the major Hollywood companies except “Meyers Films.”
Even Warner Bros., who invested money, did not let go.
However, in fact, this manuscript was released by Warner Bros., which is also a means of publicity, and only when there is controversy will there be popularity!
And after the premiere of “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, it did bring an excellent reputation for the movie, not only from the audience, but also from critics.
“It’s a notoriously difficult way to turn a fantasy masterpiece into a movie. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a transcendence and even subversion of the genre – clever plot concept, grand war scenes, and exciting adventures – and Peter Jackson’s successful blend of these elements, combined with the unique charm of Martin’s Legolas, makes for a truly classic epic film. —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun.
“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” truly restores the original author Tolkien’s Middle-earth, with the magnificent scenery of New Zealand and magical computer special effects magically presenting the world that does not exist in reality. The nine members of the Ring Guard Team are also eye-catching, except for Martin, none of them are famous actors, but they all embody their role characteristics very well.31 And Legolas’s light is too shining, Martin embodies the charm of this elf prince to the fullest, as long as there is a shot of Legolas, the audience’s eyes will definitely not be shifted to other people. —New York Times Vincent Camby.
“The content that the film has always covered is so good, and the theme is expressed in a way that this type of film does not have, not even the Star Wars series. —New York Post.
“The film is a wonderful and bizarre dream journey for the audience, and after watching the film, everyone can’t help but immerse themselves in the Middle-earth world created by Tolkien’s work. And Legolas is a dream within a dream, and his beauty is incomparable!” – San Francisco Chronicle commented.
“I don’t know how to describe it, extraordinary visual effects, grandiose artistic conception, brilliant filmmaking. It’s a hobbit’s dream and a fairy’s delight. And this is just the beginning, it is the first film in the series, and I am looking forward to it. Chicago Tribune.
Among these film critics, there are many people who have been publicized.
But the movie that can make them so unsparingly swaying beautiful words obviously really won their favor, otherwise, if it was a bad movie, these people would never be so hyped and lose the trust of fans in themselves.
The combination of public relations and excellent standards has made the film unanimously praised in the film critics’ circles, and many film critics have given it a four-star or 10-star rating.
Of course, it’s not like there’s nothing you have to do.
For example, the News of the World, a media outlet that seems to be on the same page as Martin.
“Although the film has magnificent scenery and excellent content, its narrative theme is relatively mediocre, especially those boring battle scenes. Martin’s Legolas is a vase, and his contrived performance shows an elf prince who is always in beauty pageants, which is funny!”
But such comments are only a minority and can be ignored.
The good reputation of film critics, as well as the “tap water” of the audience who participated in the premiere on the Internet, have attracted many people’s expectations for this movie.
The day after the premiere, Friday.
“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” landed in 3554 theaters in North America and was fully released.
Although Friday is not a day off, there are still long queues at the entrance of the movie theaters in the evening.
“Give me two copies of The Lord of the Rings. ”
“Three copies of The Lord of the Rings, thank you. ”
“What, all the shows before half past eight are sold out?
“Okay, then, half-past nine. ”
There are also reporters on the sidelines to interview.
“Audience friends, I’m Emily, the host of NBC TV, and I’m in front of a theater in Los Angeles right now… As you can see, there is already a long queue at the ticket office of the theater, and we will interview a few random ticket buyers. ”
“Hello sir, what is your name?”
“Wim Wenders, call me Wim, is this live?”
“Yes, it’s live. So, Mr. Wim, which movie are you going to buy?”
“Needless to say, of course, ‘The Lord of the Rings,’ a couple of my friends have seen the premiere, and they all say the war scenes in it are cool. ”
……
“Hello young lady, what is your name?”
Jennifer Kasembauer. ”
“So Jennifer, are you also here to see The Lord of the Rings?”
“Oh, of course, to be exact, I’m here to see Legolas. I noticed him when the trailer aired, he was so handsome, but it’s a pity to hear that Legolas is not the main character, it’s a pity, I don’t know what the director thinks. ”
……
“Hello, are you all together?”
“Yes, we are in this together. ”
“Why did you choose to watch The Lord of the Rings?”
“Actually, this is the second time I’ve watched it, and I attended the premiere. However, I didn’t think it would be enjoyable to watch it once, so I was ready to watch it again, and I recommended this movie to my friends. ”
“Man, if the movie isn’t good, we want you to watch it. A friend of the questioner shouted.
The person being asked was not worried at all, “Haha, then you don’t have this chance, this movie will definitely shock you!”
……
“After interviewing, we found out that these people are all coming to see “The Lord of the Rings”, oh, I just received a message from a colleague that many of the tickets for this movie have been sold out. ”
“There were not only a lot of boys in the crowd buying tickets, but also a lot of girls, and although this is a type of magical blockbuster that men prefer, these girls are obviously coming for Legolas, which makes 153 I can’t help but think of the hot situation when “Titanic” was released——”
“The girls lined up over and over again, just to go to the big screen in the cinema to see the handsome Jack. [ Read more novels for free on our website: Knight NovelS ]
“If this popularity can be maintained, I believe that this movie will become a phenomenon and a trend like “Titanic”. ”
…………
On weekends, such queues to see “The Lord of the Rings” are even more common, and even some remote movie theaters have begun to queue up.
The audience reputation of the movie has not decreased due to the substantial increase in the number of moviegoers, but only decreased slightly.
In the data survey of relevant institutions, except for a small number of particularly stubborn hardcore fans of “The Lord of the Rings”, most of the viewers who have watched the movie are very satisfied with this film.
And another survey showed that the film attracted not only “Lord of the Rings” fans, but also a large number of ordinary moviegoers.
According to statistics, more than 85% of the viewers who watched this movie were non-book fans.
Obviously, Peter Jackson chose to be more biased towards the general audience in the adaptation of the film, which is a temperament that a commercial film director must have.
If a fan movie wants to be a big hit in the end, it must attract passers-by.
He did it.
