"Honey, are you awake?"

Just as Duke opened his eyes, he heard Scarlett Johansson's voice. She was sitting in front of the dressing table arranging her curly blond hair. She looked back, put down the rhino horn comb, and picked up a nearby documents.

Scarlett gestured to Duke, and said, "Tina sent the latest statistics report early in the morning."

"Oh?" Duke immediately came to his senses, "tell me directly."

"It's an astonishing number, my dear, you have to be prepared."

After a small pass, Scarlett Johansson turned her eyes back to the statistical report, looked at the number again, and said, "Preliminary statistics, the midnight show of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" The box office figure was as high as $72 million!"

This number is indeed astonishing, and Duke couldn't help but nodded slightly. Such a high midnight box office figure also broke the midnight box office record held by "Harry Potter and the Part of the Deathly Hallows" for several years. It means that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has the perfect start.

Scarlett Johansson didn't stop talking, and continued, "Currently, the film's CinemaScore audience rating is as high as 96%, with an average rating of 'A+' from the audience. 28,775 users on the IMDB website scored 9.8 points. The popcorn index is 97%, and 77 media reporters from MetaCritic scored 92 points."

After finishing speaking, she put the statistical report aside, looked at the wall clock on the wall, and reminded Duke, "Hurry up and wash up, you still have to accept an online interview with instant sharing after breakfast."

"I know."

Duke jumped out of bed and went into the bathroom. Ten minutes later, she appeared in the dining room with Scarlett Johansson. They had just sat down, but the housekeeper Emma not only asked the maid to deliver breakfast, but also delivered the latest newspaper according to Duke's habit.

Entertainment newspapers or not, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is pretty prominent. The "Los Angeles Times" even put the film-related reports on the front page.

"Whether you're a 'Star Wars fan' or not, you'll love this movie!"

This is the headline of an opinion piece in the Los Angeles Times, which is very eye-catching.

"The anticipation behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the return of a decade since 2004's "Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith," and Duke Rosen's Berger's first film after acquiring George Lucas's company for more than four billion US dollars, and of course more importantly, the film made positive actors such as Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford The lead actors are reunited."

"With all kinds of expectations, movie fans have higher requirements for the film. And "The Force Awakens" did not disappoint. Director Duke Rosenberg perfectly interpreted the core ideas of the "Star Wars" series, And show the original flavor of those familiar elements to people."

"Advanced special effects technology and 'Campbell? Joseph Myth'-style narrative methods, as well as the concept of hero creation in the 1940s, made the "Star Wars" series of films—especially the original trilogy—affecting generations, Fans of all walks of life. When the 'Force' is mentioned. An association of light and dark comes to mind. The film does not use 'religion' to instill us with spiritual thoughts, but makes us feel the greatness of it."

"For The Force Awakens, Duke Rosenberg and his team took all of the above and combined them with a new narrative setting. The result is. A film that is both emotional and humorous Funny and thought-provoking, it will thrill long-time Star Wars fans and newcomers alike."

"Duke Rosenberg and "The Force Awakens" made the audience re-examine an old question: nature and nurture. This theory of biology and sociology is perfectly displayed in the film. No matter what your background, Storm Soldiers or abandoned babies, you have the right to choose again."

"As far as the film itself is concerned, "The Force Awakens" is very humorous and interesting. There are many plots that can make the hair stand on end, and the performances of the actors are also very three-dimensional and real. Oscar? Isaac and Daniel? Time has endowed the character with a changeable and unrestrained personality, and Daisy Ridley has created another classic image of a strong heroine on the big screen."

"The scene where Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher appeared together is also reminiscent of the romantic relationship between the two. Although the film is 2 hours and 15 minutes long, the rhythm is fast and the narrative is compact, which can firmly capture the excitement of movie fans. , it will not make people feel redundant at all.”

"It has to be said that Duke Rosenberg has integrated the past themes and characters of the series into a new background in an artistic way. Audiences who have not seen the "Star Wars" series will also like this film, but If you've seen it, you'll understand more about the twists and turns and how successful it was."

As a media that favors Duke, with the public relations efforts of Lucasfilm, the "Los Angeles Times" can be said to be the most active newspaper in the print media to promote "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".

After simply flipping through the newspaper, Duke finished his breakfast and sat in front of the computer on time, ready to accept an exclusive online interview on the instant interview website.

This interview is conducted through online sharing, and there will be promotional items on the interface of all instant sharing users.

When the interview started, Duke took a look at the number of people following the interview—3.78 million!

Exclusive interviews are only one aspect, and it is another aspect to attract the attention of movie fans and passers-by audience through exclusive interviews later.

After a brief exchange, the first question appeared on the screen in front of Duke.

"You left the film with an open ending or a big mystery. How did you think about it when making it?"

Seeing this question, Duke thought for a while, and quickly typed out a paragraph of letters with both hands, "I think the interesting thing about Star Wars lies in its various developments. In the first Star Wars, it appeared from the very beginning of the story. A lot of mysteries, a lot of problems are not solved until the end of the film, so it can be derived into a trilogy, let people indulge in it. We also use the same method to create a new trilogy, I believe that as the story develops you will understand the whole Learn more about the storyline of the series."

The other party continued to ask, "Many movie fans want to know the relationship between Rey and Finn, because in this episode, they are more like friends, and there is no love element in it, but is it possible for them to be a couple?"

Duke directly denied, "I think one of the major themes of this film is friendship. In many films, when a man and a woman appear, there must be love by default. The fun of this movie is also the fun of Star Wars. It is not limited to love, but about love. Loyalty, finding a family, building a family, and as far as this movie is concerned, the love element is less important, and more about respecting each other and caring for each other, rather than a simple love relationship."

"There is a very funny scene where BB-8 goes down the stairs, how did you make it?"

"How did we do it?"

Knowing that the other party was asking about the glimpse of BB-8, Duke quickly typed the answer on the keyboard, "If you have seen the behind-the-scenes footage, that scene is actually our puppeteer Brian, wearing a green special effects suit, following BB-8 is behind the manipulator, the puppeteer is brilliant, he's very involved, sometimes watching him, you see how he puts his personality into the character, I feel a little guilty about removing him from the shot , because he works so hard in every scene, but every time we have to move him out of the camera."

The two sides asked and answered a lot about the behind-the-scenes topics of the film, and then turned to the main question agreed in advance. This is also the question that countless fans have asked on the Internet since yesterday, and it is also the most eye-catching interview. .

"It can be seen from the film that Rey has an extraordinary background, can you talk about her background?"

Before answering this question, Duke looked at the number of followers, and it had risen to nearly five million, "I do know a lot of information, but it's not appropriate for me to say at this time, this is the most confidential Lucasfilm Thing, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, I don't want to be sued."

Duke still appropriately revealed, "Rey is not an ordinary girl, and her background is quite complicated."

The information he gave could not satisfy the curiosity of movie fans at all. Taking this interview as a guide, Warner Bros. and Lucasfilm officially launched a post-screening promotion and marketing plan, and the core of this plan is to create topics. It triggered discussions in the United States and even the world, and completed the upgrade of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" from media marketing to social marketing.

The specific identity of the heroine Rey is undoubtedly the key point.

As Duke's interview appeared on the Internet, it immediately became the hottest topic on the Internet, and countless fans started discussions and speculated about Rey's identity.

Duke's navy was also dispatched again, constantly posting various remarks on the Internet, raising the heat of this discussion and speculation.

On many popular websites such as Twitter and instant sharing, half a day has just passed, and the discussion about Rey has become a trend.

Someone speculated, "Rey is the daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia!"

He not only thinks that Rey is the daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia, but also Kylo Ren's younger sister. He also gave a specific explanation, "From the content of the film, Rey is definitely from a famous family. Not small."

Then someone retorted, "It is absolutely impossible for Rey to be the daughter of Han Solo and Princess Leia. If Han Solo failed to recognize his daughter in the film, it is justifiable, and neither did her mother, Princess Leia." No reaction at all. And when Rey used the Force to see the fantasy she once had, she didn't have any clues about Han Solo and Princess Leia!"

This person also left his own point of view, "Rey is a descendant of Obi-Wan!" (to be continued ~^~)
