v2 Chapter 439: "Lord of the Rings" small village Hobbit

"Welcome to New Zealand, Mr. Williams and Mrs. Williams!" Peter Jackson stepped forward to greet Henry and the others.

Henry nodded and smiled at him.

"Mr. Williams, this is Leder Alec, the Mayor of Wellington, New Zealand!" Peter Jackson pointed to a middle-aged New Zealand man in a suit behind him.

With a smile on his face, Lied Alec stepped forward to say hello, "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, it's nice to meet you. Welcome to New Zealand!"

"Hello, Mayor Lid Alec!" Henry smiled at him and shook hands with him.

Mayor Lied Alec smiled and said: "Mr. Williams, we have prepared the rooms for you at the InterContinental Wellington Resort and arranged for chefs to cook our specialties here. I hope you can hope!"

"Thank you, Mayor Lid Alec!"

...

InterContinental Wellington Resort is a five-star hotel, located in the city center, with convenient transportation. The surrounding landscape includes the National Museum of New Zealand, Wellington Botanic Garden, Wellington Zoo, Wellington Victoria Mountain and so on.

The most popular filming location in Wellington is Mount Victoria, which is within walking distance from the city center. The forested area in the mountains is transformed into the Hobbiton Forest in the movie, where the Hobbits evade the Black Knights.

Henry and others had a Wellington meal that night.

Wellington is rich in sheep, and lamb is delicious, especially grilled lamb or lamb chops. In addition, the fish production here is large and the quality is delicious. There are freshwater eels, lamb birds, spiny sea urchins, lobsters, shrimps, abalones, etc. It is simply a seafood feast!

After eating and drinking, I had a good night's rest. The next day, I chose a few well-known attractions in Wellington to visit.

This time, I mainly went to the filming location of "Lord of the Rings", especially the quiet town that turned into Middle-earth in the movie. This location is simply the paradise that movie fans yearn for in this life, and its name is "Hobbiton"!

Whether it is the "The Hobbit" trilogy or the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, all stories start here! There are bag bottom holes, hobbit huts, green dragon inn, mills, banquet trees and so on.

After playing in Wellington for a few days, I went to this "Hobbiton". Surrounded by mountains, Hobbiton is located near the town of Matamata on the North Island of New Zealand. It took Peter Jackson 9 months to build Hobbiton, which looks no different from his previous life.

When Henry and others came here, the crew came to greet them.

Not to mention that Henry is the richest man in the world, but as the owner of the Galaxy Film Company, they have to try their best to please.

Everyone greeted them briefly, and walked into Hobbiton together.

Henry had seen Hobbiton in the movie anyway, so he calmed down a lot, while Kailena, Helen and Princess Ulysses were all surprised. The biggest feature here is that the house is built in a hill with grass overgrown, some even planted a big tree, and outside is a round gate and window.

This kind of building is really novel, so Kailena and the others can't wait to go in and take a look.

Peter Jackson said, "Mr. Williams, what do you think of the construction here?"

"It's very cool, like a paradise!" Henry praised sincerely, "Jackson, after the filming of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, I can guarantee that it will become a tourist attraction! Oh, yes, Jackson, hurry up and follow the locals. The government negotiates and buys here!"

"Buy it here? Mr. Williams, it's a big area. I'm afraid it will take a lot of money to buy it!"

"It's okay, I believe, I will earn it back sooner or later!" Henry said.

"All right, I will contact the local government later! Now, I will lead you to experience the charm of Hobbiton!"

...

After playing for a whole afternoon, I didn't feel tired, as if I were in the world of talking!

At the dinner, everyone went to the Green Dragon Inn while tasting the pure brew, while enjoying the panoramic view of the Hobbit Village on the beautiful lake and hills. After night fell, the Green Dragon Inn was brightly lit, and the locals began to sing and dance to welcome Henry and others!

Hobbiton is actually a farm, and naturally there will be normal farmhouses. However, Henry and Kelena chose to stay at the bottom of the bag to experience this unique feeling.

Hobbiton was quiet at night, and the moon was like washing. Henry's only complaint was that the bed was too small. Two people can barely sleep, let alone four people.

The next day, officials from the local government came to discuss the purchase of land with Henry.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, nice to meet you!" A middle-aged man with a pot belly stretched out his hand and greeted Henry, "I am Tony Commons, the mayor of Matamata. !"

"Hello, Mayor Tony Commons!" Henry said, "I mean, you know what I mean."

"Yes, Mr. Williams," Tony Commons nodded and smiled. "How much is Mr. Williams going to pay?"

"How about $10 million? It must be enough to buy this farm!"

Tony Commons is very shrewd, his eyes flashed, Hobbiton is built in such an independent style, once the movie is released, it will definitely attract many tourists. At first, Tony Commons let Peter Jackson use the land here for free for tourism development. Now, when the other party buys this land, the price can't be cheap!

"20 million dollars!!!" Tony Commons thought for a while and said.

"Okay!" Henry did not counter-offer at all, nodded and agreed.

Tony Commons was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would be so happy that they would not bargain. Could this be a local tyrant? Have money and will spend it casually?

Tony Commons looked at Henry with some doubts~lightnovelpub.net~Mayor Tony Commons, when should I sign? ! "Henry asked with a smile. Once the movie is released, Hobbiton will definitely become a signature attraction in New Zealand. The income from tourism is more than US$20 million?

"Uh, this..." Tony Commons hesitated.

"Mayor Tony Commons, I hope to complete the signing as soon as possible, because I will not stay here for a long time." Henry said.

Tony Commons shook his head helplessly and sighed slightly. If he knew it, the price would be higher!

"Well, Mr. Williams, since you are so refreshing, I won't be procrastinated, maybe... I can sign tomorrow!" Tony Commons said.

"Yeah!" Henry nodded, "then tomorrow!!!"
