Chapter nine hundred and sixteen collapse situation

Not only the interview, but after the conversation between the reporter Gao Fangfang and Duke, he also visited Lucas Film. The national TV station on the other side of the Pacific also broadcasted related special programs, and there were also promotional reports on the Internet, which attracted considerable attention from Chinese audiences.

In addition to the report submitted by Warner Greater China, Duke will also enter the Greater China Regional Network in the later stage of Star Wars: The Force Awakening, and see the reactions of movie fans and netizens on the other side.

In the living room of Duke Manor, Duke, who had changed into a formal dress, sat in front of the computer, looking through the comments on the interview report on the other side of the Internet, and waiting for Scarlett Johansson to put on makeup and dresses in the locker room.

Although he was going to go to Skywalker Manor in Los Angeles to attend George Lucas's wedding, Duke made full use of this waiting time. After all, women put on makeup and dress changing are calculated in hours.

Looking at the movie fans on the other side, Duke can also grasp some trends in the first-tier market.

"Those who have never known the Heavenly Walkers in their lives will be in vain even if they are called heroes."

Obviously, this is a standard Star Wars fan, probably because of Duke, and the comments here are generally good.

"As a kid born in the post-80s who was shocked when I was a kid, I must watch it; as a persistence: movies are an important part of life, and this belief is also a compulsory course for watching Star Wars; is it good to watch? When did Duke Rosenberg disappoint!"

Duke will not underestimate himself and knows that he has a strong appeal across the Pacific Ocean.

"The domestic box office should be good, because it has many loyal fans after 7O and 8O, and many followers after 9O and ooO. It is recommended that those who have not watched or have not watched all of them will make up for it before watching this movie, first watch the three prequels, and then watch the three old ones! In this way, you won't be confused when watching Star Wars 7!"

Not only Star Wars fans, but also passers-by and audiences are paying attention.

"I'm not considered a fan of Star Wars. I watched the old version of the trilogy a few years ago, and I feel that the filming is pretty good. Of course, the people are a bit old-fashioned, the rhythm is a bit slow, the plot is a bit old-fashioned, but I can't find any major problems. The story is very solid, and the special effects are much better than 50 cents. Isn't it? But few people have seen computers in the era of computers. D2 is so cute. This Star Wars movie is protected by Duke, so I shouldn't feel like a waste of time when I look at the entertainment."

There are also people who are not entangled in the previous work. "Star Wars represents not only a few movies, but now this word has become a cultural symbol. Everyone knows that Star Wars. Wearing a Star Wars T-shirt, whether you have watched the original movie or not, it will not affect your liking for this Star Wars world. So why bother to worry about whether you can understand every detail, just watch a Star Wars happily."

Similarly, there are people who don’t know anything about this series, “I’ll ask weakly, is Star Trek related to Star Wars?”

At this time, Duke heard the familiar sound of high heels falling on the floor. Turn off the computer and look at it. Scarlett Johansson, dressed in a dress, came over with his handbag.

Seeing Duke stand up from the front of the computer, Scarlett couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing." He took Scarlett's hand and walked out of the villa. "It's almost time, we have to hurry up."

This was George Lucas' wedding, and Duke's mother rushed there to help early in the morning. With the relationship between the two families, they couldn't arrive too late.

Waiting for Duke and Scarlett to get on the car, Rolls-Royce, who was waiting in front of the villa, started the plush and slowly drove away from the Duke Manor.

More than half an hour later, the car drove directly into the Skywalker Manor, which George Lucas bought specifically for marriage. Duke and Scarlett got out of the car and walked to the lawn of the villa with their hands in hand and also met George Lucas.

He said hello to his nearby mother first, Duke walked over and hugged George Lucas with a gentle hug, "Congratulations, Uncle Lucas."

"Thank you." George Lucas gently patted Duke's arm, and after Scarlett said hello, "You two are casual, I won't greet you specifically."

Duke nodded, and without hesitation, he took Scarlett Johansson to his mother's side.

The wedding kicked off soon, but it was quite short. Duke sat on the bench on the lawn, and Scarlett Johansson, who could appear beside him, always staring at Maddie Hobson in a wedding dress, and his hand holding his arm was subconsciously tightening.

Having roughly guessed some of Scarlett's thoughts, Duke also felt that maybe it was time to prepare a ring.

In any case, their relationship was extremely stable, and they did not have any idea of ​​changing this relationship. It would be natural to go further.

Duke also glanced at Mrs. Leah on the other side. Her mother didn't like Hollywood stars, but her goddaughter was definitely an exception. She also hoped that she and Scarlett would eventually get together.

The chaotic life of his youth was far away from Duke, and he was not prepared to reach that kind of life again.

However, it is not the time yet. He has to be busy with all kinds of work in Star Wars. Scarlett is preparing for Avengers 2 and always has to wait for them to finish this time.

Thinking of this, Duke's eyes fell on Medille Hobson like Scarlett.

To be honest, like a considerable number of people present, he did not expect that George Lucas and Maddie Hobson, a black and white love, would eventually enter the palace of marriage.

Of course, no one thinks that Maddie Hobson is not worthy of George Lucas, after all, she is also a recognized elite.

In addition to serving as the chairman of DreamWorks Animation Department, McDiele Hobson is also the president of the famous Chicago investment company A-Day E1.i Women's E1, and the chairman of the A-Day E1 Mutual Foundation, as well as the sponsor of the A-Day Good Morning American column.

She also started her own investment and financial program. Not only did her career span various fields, she was also particularly enthusiastic about the film and television industry. Before dating Lucas Lucas, Medill Hobson was unmarried, which was also her first time entering the marriage hall.

The wedding went smoothly, and there were no unimaginable bloody plots. George Lucas and Medillo Hobson also received blessings from Lucas's children.

After the wedding, it is naturally a typical Western-style celebration party.

Since Scarlett Johansson was taken by his mother, Mrs. Leah, to meet some friends and broaden his network of connections, Duke could only act alone. In addition to George Lucas's relatives and friends, there were also some relatives and friends of Medile Hobson.

For example, Jerry Fer Kasenberg of DreamWorks Animation Studio.

After facilitating the cooperation between Warner Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox and DreamWorks Animation Studio, Duke once wanted to acquire some shares of DreamWorks Animation Studio. After all, the market value of the entire DreamWorks Animation is only more than one billion US dollars, which is not a particularly large deal.

Although he has always wanted to be part of a large group company, Jerry Ferkasenberg did not want to sell his shares to Duke. He knew very well that once Duke intervened in DreamWorks Animation's affairs, his right to speak in it would inevitably be affected. It is even possible for DreamWorks Animation Studio to change his surname to Rosenberg in the future.

Marvel Comics is the lesson of the past.

Duke didn't care much about Jerevo Carsonberg's refusal to acquire it. It was impossible for any good things to fall on him, and it was even more impossible for others to sell him whatever he wanted.

After greeting Jereph Carsonberg politely, Duke joined George Lucas's circle of relatives and friends. The center point of this circle is undoubtedly Steven Spielberg and Francescoppola.

These senior film industry veterans are clearly discussing something, Duke finds Sofia Coppola from a circle of people and asks in a low voice, "Dear, what are they discussing?"

Sofia Coppola turned her head to look at Duke, and said in a low voice, "Steven is talking to people about the future of Hollywood blockbusters."

After hearing what she said, Duke became interested, stepped forward to Fia Coppola and raised his ears.

“Hollywood is betting on high-budget blockbusters that meet the public’s interests every year, but is losing audiences who watch movies on the Internet and TV.”

The speaker is Steven Spielberg, who is the owner of a studio, has in-depth research on the entire industry. "As sooner or later, this bet in Hollywood will burst, resulting in a destructive blow to the entire industry."

"The whole Hollywood is spending money on blockbusters." Francescopola clearly agrees with Spielberg, "but this model won't work forever, and the result is that their focus will become narrower and narrower. People will abandon them, and they will become at a loss and don't know what to do."

There was a lot of discussion around, including well-known directors like Duncan Jones and Long Howard.

Spielberg spoke again, and the surroundings became quiet. His words were not high, but they were clearly audible. "The reason this happens now is that many forms of entertainment are competing for the attention of the audience with movies, and the film studio would rather spend $250,000 to make a movie than do some personalized small projects."

He sighed, "In the end, the film industry will face a large-scale collapse. There will be an 'implosion' in this industry, and then there will be three, four, or even five or six big-produced movies that will fall to the ground."

"I agree with Steven."

Today's groom George Lucas didn't know when he came here, and obviously heard Spielberg's view, "I think the movie theater industry will evolve and will soon become similar to Broadway."

When Lucas finished speaking, Sofia Coppola turned around and asked Duke, "What do you think?" (To be continued.)
