Chapter 375

    Being a guy who had some close ties with the higher-ups of Warner Brothers, Kazir heard that the company was also interested in The Hobbit.

    The Hobbit was the prequel to The Lord Of The Rings and was also recognized as a masterpiece on its own.

    Warner Brothers wanted to buy the adaptation right from Tolkien Enterprises. So far, the contract is still in creation.

    Warner Brothers was great at managing trilogies. In fact, they had the best list of trilogies in the industry. One of the reasons why they dominated the industry, being the rank 1 or 2 of the Big Six.

    The Dark Knight Trilogy.

    The Ocean''s 11 Trilogy.

    The Hangover.

    The Matrix.

    Harry Potter... Is not a trilogy but you get the gist.

    Overall, in terms of handling movies with planned sequels, Warner Brothers was known for being good at it.

    ''Lord Of The Rings is a famous piece of literature that gathered fans all over the world. The fact that the Academy Awards disregard this film irked a lot of people.''

    Since Kazir knew the future, he also knew that many were disappointed when the Academy Awards didn''t give a fuck about The Lord Of The Rings. They received strong criticism because of it. The Lord Of The Rings was not a simple fantasy movie, it was a piece of literature that popularized the genre.

    For the Academy Awards to act clueless showed that they have a strong bias and prejudice against the movie.

    ''So to solve this problem, the Academy decided to fix their mistake before it became worse. They decided to give Peter Jackson the Best Director Award as an appreciation for his contribution to the industry. For adapting an old literature into a successful trilogy, Peter Jackson won the Best Director Award.''

    Kazir remembered it well because their decision seemed forced. He couldn''t help but chuckle. @@@@

    ''Well, this event will happen next year and I''m the presenter... If this part of the future never changed, then I''ll give the golden statue to Peter Jackson.''

    The success of The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King was already expected. The question was how much money it would generate.

    ...

    ...

    ...

    December 23, Tuesday.

    The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King already grossed more than $150 million and this amount kept getting bigger as hours went on.

    This whole week was a holiday for the students so many families decided to watch the movie as a way of family bonding.

    "Mom! Dad!"

    Being stuck in this room for months, his only comfort was his parents who showered him with love and affection.

    The family started talking until the topic of comic books arrived.

    "Son, I know that you like Spider-Man so I have a gift for you?"

    "Really? What is it?" Emer became excited.

    A few seconds later, a guy wearing a Spider-Man suit entered the room accompanied by a cameraman.

    "Hi Emer, I heard you''re a strong kid!"

    Emer was surprised.

    "Spider-Man!"

    "That''s right. It''s me, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!"

    The surprise didn''t end after that.

    Spider-Man pulled out his mask, revealing Tobey Maguire''s face!

    It was actually Tobey Maguire!

    The real Peter Parker in the movie!

    The real Spider-Man!

    Emer was so shocked that he started crying.

    "Spider-Man! Spider-Man!"

    For some reason, he felt that his wish had come true. He was not jealous of the young girl from the interview anymore. Unlike her, Emer personally met Spider-Man.

    "Listen champ, I believe in you. I believe that there''s a Spider-Man in your heart, and Spider-Man never surrenders. So make sure you never surrender as well!"
