Following that, the entire crew immersed themselves in the filming. Just as Boss Jia had said, no one in the crew dared to gossip about Chen Hao. However, everyone's enthusiasm for Chen Hao was obvious.
On the other hand, after the crew started filming, a news report titled "1,000 Hua Xia Actors Arrive at the Northern American Filming Base. The American-Chinese Large-Scale Historical Epic Co-production Is Underway" appeared in many media outlets and on TV.
This news report described in detail the filming process of the movie version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the United States. It also caused a wave of popularity. After all, 1000 Chinese people came to the United States to film at the same time. This was indeed very rare. It was considered a good piece of news. It also made many people start to have some memories of the movie "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
However, the popularity of the news stopped there. Boss Jia was just paving the way for the future of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" so that when the audience saw this movie in the future, they would not think that it was a Hua Xia movie that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and had no memory of it at all.
At this time, the movie that really attracted the attention of the entire film industry was still "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."
After reaching 200 million USD in the box office on the first weekend, "The Lord of the Rings" continued to show its strength in the second week. For the entire week, it took 300 million USD in the box office. In just 10 days, it reached the amazing achievement of 500 million USD in the North American box office.
This result shocked everyone in Hollywood. This movie was aiming for 1 billion USD in the United States and 1.5 billion USD in the global box office. This was too shocking!
The audience was also conquered by "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." Almost everyone who finished watching the movie praised how magical it was and how it outlined an incredible fantasy world.
The movie's reputation was unimaginably good. Therefore, in the third week, it actually achieved another 300 million USD in the box office, which was the same as the second week. With this, it was certain that the North American box office would exceed 1 billion USD.
Everyone was curious whether the global box office could exceed 1.5 billion USD.
Historically, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" had achieved 880 million USD in the global box office. This was already considered a mythical movie by the filmmakers at that time.
However, no one expected that after it was released two years in advance, Boss Jia would create an even crazier box office record.
Of course, this was a very normal thing.
First of all, Boss Jia had invested a lot of money into the special effects.
In the previous world, the total investment of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was less than 100 million USD. To be honest, the special effects of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring were not that good. There was still a lot of room for improvement.
This time, Boss Jia had spent 200 million USD on the game. With an additional 100 million USD on special effects, it was obvious that the special effects in this version of the game would be many times better than the ones in the other world.
Other than that, in terms of publicity, who knew how much more planning had been put into "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".
In the other world, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was unknown when it was first released. There was almost no movie promotion. The reason why it could achieve nearly 900 million USD in the global box office was because of word of mouth after it was released.
However, it was different this time. Boss Jia had spent an additional 30 million USD on publicity in Huoyang City. In addition, because of the Daqian itself, many film critics had criticized the movie before it was released. They thought that it was destined to be a weak movie.
Although these were all bad words, from another perspective, it also increased the popularity of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Therefore, when The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released, many people were curious about it. Then, when the movie was released, there was a lot more people than in the previous world.
However, the promotional effect of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was still there. With more people watching the premiere, there were naturally more people who recommended "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", and the number of people who were recommended to watch the movie increased as well.
Through this chain of events, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" once again achieved great success. It was much more successful than in the previous world.
In any case, after the movie was released, people in Hollywood could basically confirm that the box office champion of 1998 was "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", which had appeared out of nowhere in November. After that, the entire Hollywood market would tremble under the brilliance of the Daqian.
Especially when they remembered that "The Lord of the Rings" was actually a series of movies. There were three movies in one go, and the other two were scheduled to be released in 1999 and 2000. The entire Hollywood suddenly realized that it might continue to tremble under the brilliance of the Daqian for the next two years.
This was really too tragic.
On the other hand, Boss Jia went to various companies in the United States to supervise them. After that, he held some meetings to formulate future development plans. He was preparing to return to China when suddenly, his secretary reported that an old friend had come to visit!
Boss Jia was stunned for a moment. He then invited the old friend in. He saw that it was Leng Feng, whom he had not seen in years.
In the past, Boss Jia had gone through a lot of trouble to ship a few 70nm lithography machines back to China. It was all thanks to the help of a top expert like Leng Feng that they finally managed to get the machines back to China.
After that, Leng Feng also created a security system for the Daqian research center. He stayed at Boss Jia's house for a month. Boss Jia also learned some physical training techniques from this expert.
Although he could not fight against a hundred people like Leng Feng, his body felt comfortable. It was not a problem for him to fight against five or six people at the same time.
However, Boss Jia did not know why Leng Feng suddenly appeared in the United States and came looking for him.
"I was on a mission here. I heard that you were here, so I came looking for you!" Leng Feng explained with a smile. As for what mission it was, Boss Jia did not dare to ask since Leng Feng did not say.
That's right, he did not dare to ask.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal!" Boss Jia smiled.
"It's okay. I have something to do and I have to leave soon. However, there's something that someone said that I need your help with!" Leng Feng suddenly said seriously.
"What is it? As long as it's something that I can do, I'll definitely help! "Boss Jia nodded.
"It's not a big deal. Er Mao is planning to sell a big ship. I quite like it, so I want you to help me buy it!" Leng Feng smiled.
"A big ship?" Boss Jia was stupefied for a moment. Leaving aside what the big ship was, he didn't know. Leng Feng was the king of land battles. Why would he suddenly want to buy a big ship at sea? That was too stupid.
However, when he thought about Er Mao's country, Boss Jia's heart skipped a beat. He then calculated the time. That's right, Er Mao was going to sell a big ship this year!
