《The article on the front page of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times satirized all major Hollywood companies except Meyers Films.
Even Warner Brothers, which invested money, didn't let go.
However, in fact, this article was released by Warner Bros. It is also a publicity method, and controversy will only make it popular!
After the premiere of"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", it has indeed brought excellent reputation to the film, not only from the audience, but also from film critics.
"It is well known that it is difficult to adapt fantasy classics into movies. The emergence of"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is a transcendence and even subversion of similar themes - clever plot ideas, grand war scenes and exciting adventures - Peter Jackson successfully blended these elements together, and added Martin's unique charm as Legolas creates a truly classic epic film"——《Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"《"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" truly restores the Middle-earth world written by the original author Tolkien. The magnificent scenery of New Zealand and magical computer special effects magically present that world that does not exist in reality. The nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring are also eye-catching. Except for Martin, none of them are famous actors, but they all embody the characteristics of their characters very well. And Legolas's light is so shining. Martin fully reflects the charm of this elf prince. As long as there is a scene where Legolas appears, the audience's attention will never be diverted to anyone else."——《Review by Vincent Canby, The New York Times
"The content that the film always involves is so excellent, and its theme is expressed in a way that this type of film does not have, not even the"Star Wars" series."——《New York Post review
"The film brought the audience a wonderful and bizarre dream journey. After watching the film, everyone could not help but be immersed in the Middle-earth world created by Tolkien's works. And Legolas is a dream within a dream, his beauty is incomparable!"——《San Francisco Chronicle review
"I don't know how to describe it, the extraordinary visual effects, the magnificent artistic conception, and the excellent film production. It's a hobbit's dream and an elf's delight. And this is just the beginning, it’s the first in a series of movies, so I’m extremely looking forward to it"《Chicago Tribune review.
Among these film critics, there are many who have been publicized.
But a movie that allows them to express their praise without hesitation has obviously really won their favor. Otherwise - if it was a bad movie, these people would never praise it like this and turn the fans' attention to it. Lose your trust.
The public relations and excellent standards have enabled the film to receive unanimous praise from film critics, with many film critics giving it four or ten stars.
Of course, it’s not like there’s no need to confront them.
Take the News of the World, for example. This media seems to be at odds with Martin.
"Although the movie has magnificent scenery and excellent content, its narrative theme is relatively mediocre, especially the boring battle scenes. Legolas played by Martin is a vase. He uses his artificial performance to show an elf prince who is always in beauty pageants, which is hilarious!"
But such comments are only a minority and can be ignored.
The good reputation of film critics and the"tap water" of viewers who attended the premiere on the Internet have attracted many people to look forward to the film. The premiere. The day after, Friday
《"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is now available in 3,554 theaters in North America.
Although Friday is not a rest day, in the evening, there were still long queues in front of various movie theaters.
"Give me two copies of Lord of the Rings》"
"Three copies of Lord of the Rings, thank you"
"What, all the shows before 8:30 are sold out? What time is left?"
"Okay, then half past nine."
There are also reporters interviewing on the side.
"Audience friends, I am Emily, the host of NBC TV. I am currently in front of a theater in Los Angeles... You can see that there is a long queue of people at the ticket office of the theater. Let's interview some random ticket buyers. By"
"Hello sir, what is your name?"
"Wim Wenders, call me Wim. Is this live broadcast?"
"Yes, it's live. So Mr. Wim, which movie are you going to buy tickets for?"
"No need to ask, of course it's"The Lord of the Rings". Several of my friends watched the premiere and they all said the war scenes in it were so cool."
……
"Hello lady, what is your name?"
"jennifer kasembol"
"So Jennifer, are you also here to watch"Lord of the Rings"?"
"Oh, of course, to be precise, I came to see Legolas. I noticed him when the trailer aired. He's so handsome. It's a pity to hear that Legolas is not the protagonist. It's a shame. I don't know what the director thought."
……
"Hello, are you together?"
"Yes, we are together"
"Why choose to watch"Lord of the Rings"》?"
"This is actually the second time I've seen it, I attended the premiere. However, I felt that watching it once was not enough, so I planned to watch it again and recommended this movie to my friends."
"Man, if the movie isn't good, we want it to be good for you."A friend of the person being asked 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 interviews, we found out that these people came to see"The Lord of the Rings". Oh, I just received a message from a colleague that many tickets for this movie have been sold out."
"There were not only many boys but also many girls among the people buying tickets. Although this is a fantasy blockbuster that is more popular among men, these girls are obviously coming for Legolas. This makes 153 I can't help but think of that year. The buzz around the release of"Titanic"——"
"Girls queued up over and over again just to watch handsome Jack on the big screen in the cinema." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"If this popularity can be maintained, I believe this movie will become a phenomenon and a trend like"Titanic""
…………
On weekends, such queues to watch"The Lord of the Rings" can be seen everywhere, and even some remote movie theaters have begun to form long queues.
However, the movie's audience reputation has not declined due to the substantial increase in the number of moviegoers, but has only dropped slightly.
According to data surveys conducted by relevant organizations, except for a few die-hard"Lord of the Rings" fans, most viewers who have watched the movie are very satisfied with the film.
Another survey showed that this movie attracted not only"Lord of the Rings" book fans, but also a large number of ordinary moviegoers.
According to statistics, more than 85% of the audience watching this movie are non-book fans.
Obviously, Peter Jackson chose to adapt the movie more towards the general audience, which is a temperament that a commercial film director must possess.
For fan films to eventually become big hits, they must attract passerby moviegoers.
He succeeded.
