As soon as he saw this man with a round head, Xia Tian's eyes lit up.

It is precisely Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. He just thought of Vita Digital, which made special effects for "The Lord of the Rings", and immediately met Peter Jackson, the founder of Vita Digital.

Peter Jackson is one of Hollywood's greatest directors. He is well-known for his film history with the Lord of the Rings trilogy alone. Not to mention the "Hobbit" series, "King Kong", "Corpses of Corpse Playing Through the Border", etc.

It is precisely because of it that the film industry and tourism industry have achieved a leap. Today, New Zealand has become the filming place for many movies, and the Hobbit Village has become a tourist destination, attracting millions of tourists to visit each year.

The reason why Peter Jackson appeared at summer parties was mainly because he helped Universal Studios shoot a horror film "Horror Ghost" last year.

The film is not very invested, only eight million US dollars, but it won more than 40 million US dollars in box office. It also received twelve Saturn Awards nominations, as well as the Best Visual Effects Award in the Catalonia International Film Festival in Spain, and the Nominations for Best Picture.

Because Universal Pictures has been acquired in the summer, Peter Jackson received the invitation.

Of course, Xia Tian did not send an invitation directly to Peter Jackson and invited him to come by name. He just handed the invitation to the general manager of Universal Pictures and asked him to distribute the invitation to those who were qualified to come.

Peter Jackson was lucky enough to receive an invitation because of the reputation and box office of the movie "Horror Ghost". Otherwise, he would probably not be qualified to come to a summer party.

Peter Jackson officially started filming movies in 1987, and in the early days they all made some movies with strong cult flavor.

For example, "The Universe", "Crazy Fat Treasure Variety Show", etc. From the name, you can see that they are all weird movies with weird themes, unique styles, exaggerated and bizarre, mixed with many elements such as horror, funny, ghosts, science fiction, etc.

Although these cult movies are regarded as masterpieces in small circles, they are not enough to allow him to enter the mainstream Hollywood film industry. Later, Peter Jackson began to transform and asked Kate Winslet and Melanie Linsky to film "The Angel of Sin", which tells the story of two young girls who were not familiar with each other and eventually suffered bitter fruit.

This film, adapted from real events, helped Peter Jackson win the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and also won him nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Oscar of that year.

Therefore, Peter Jackson successfully entered the mainstream Hollywood film industry and then had the opportunity to film the movie "Horror Ghost". Otherwise, it would not be so easy to transform.

Just like Sam Remy, the "Ghost Player" series directed by him in the 1980s, created a miracle of box office and reputation. But even if he was so awesome, he almost was rejected by Sony when he wanted to take on "Spider-Man" that year. He was worried that his cult style would make the "Spider-Man" movie cultivating and affecting its box office.

...

"Are you director Peter Jackson?" Xia Tian walked up to Peter Jackson and smiled.

"Yes, it's me! Hello, Mr. Xia!" Peter Jackson was a little flattered when he saw Xia Tian coming to chat with him.

Although he has won the Venetian Silver Lion Award, it is a very good result. However, it is not a particularly outstanding result for the directors present.

You know, if a great director like Xia Tian, ​​let alone the Silver Lion Award, as long as he is willing to go to the Venice Film Festival, he will win whatever award he wants and choose whatever he wants.

Moreover, his box office performance is not outstanding. Although Summer is young, the cumulative box office of the movie has exceeded 3 billion US dollars. All the movies he directed have not exceeded 50 million US dollars, which is really too far.

So he has to thank Universal Pictures for being in this party today for the downturn in the past two years. So he has chosen a big guy from the slut, which gives him the opportunity to get an invitation letter.

Peter Jackson also knew himself, so he did not show off everywhere, but instead drank in a low-key manner, and did not socialize everywhere like other successful directors.

But to his surprise, Xia Tian actually took the initiative to come to him, which really surprised him.

"Hello. I've watched "The Clans of Corpse Crossing the World" directed by you. Although that movie is disgusting, I have to say that it is a very exciting movie." Xia Tian smiled.

In his previous life, he had the honor to watch this movie "Clusters of Corpse Playing Through the World". To be honest, he almost vomited. Because this movie is really heavy, with broken plasma and broken limbs flying all over the sky, and his eyes are like ice cream... The ugly and disgusting orcs in "The Lord of the Rings" are much more cute than that.

"Thank you." Peter Jackson felt very happy when he heard Xia Tian say this.

"Collections Playing Through the World" is indeed his hard work, and he made it very carefully back then. However, when the movie was released in the United States, the box office was only more than two million US dollars, which was a loss-making movie. It was only after the sales of the videotape were pretty good, which made him not abandoned by Hollywood.

But unexpectedly, Xia Tian had watched such a niche movie and praised him. This really made him very honored.

"You're welcome." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "But, Mr. Jackson, I think making cult films is a waste of your talent. You should use your talent on more commercial films in your audience."

All directors with ideals hope that their movies can be well-known and recognized by more people. Cult films are just the preferences of movie enthusiasts in a small circle and have limited audiences. The audience in commercial films is wider and the impact is greater.

"Mr. Xia is right. To be honest, I really want to adapt the book "Lord of the Rings"." Peter Jackson immediately spoke when he heard Xia Tian say this.

"The Lord of the Rings" is an immortal work written by British writer John Ronald Tolkien. After its publication, it immediately caused a sensation in the European and American worlds and is known as the originator of fantasy novels.

The famous tabletop games "Dungeons and Dragons", "Warhammer", etc. in European and American games were inspired by "Lord of the Rings".

In addition, such as the "Diablo" series, the "Warcraft" series, the "Dungeons and Dragons" series, the "Bad Gate", the "Heroes Invincible" series, etc., they are more or less influenced by "Lord of the Rings".
