King of Hollywood

\u003e Chapter 113 Full of praise

The movie started, and the plot didn’t change much. It still started with Blanchett’s magnetic voice, and introduced the composition of Middle-earth and the origin of the Supreme Ring in words. Galadriel, the queen of elves, also became the first Although the female characters that appear are fleeting, their gorgeous and noble demeanor can still be seen at a glance.

"You are so beautiful, Kate." Adrian said in Blanchett's ear in the seat, and put a hand on her thigh.

Blanchett smiled charmingly. Before she could speak, a dry cough came from the other side. Liv, who was sitting on Adrian's left, kept her eyes on the screen, but her mouth was pouting high, looking unhappy. Well, this kind of thing is unavoidable, as long as they are all around, Liv's elbow is not bad enough.

"Of course, Liv is just as heroic when she comes on stage." Adrian said immediately, and then Twilight jumped over her to the person beside her, and added, "Gwynnie is the same."

But what I got was Gwyneth's eyes.

Alright, let's focus on the picture. After the commentary is over, it will be the end of the second era, when the allied forces of elves and humans will fight Sauron before the gate of Mordor. Hugo? Weiwen's elf king looks pretty good, and he looks more powerful in armor than in white robes. Because of Adrian, the ears of elves are generally longer than the original ones.

Then, after a series of shots, how did Sauron get killed, how did the One Ring fall into the hands of Isildur, and how it was possessed by Gollum, but ended up in Bilbo? Baggins hands.

The whole story finally begins with the peaceful Shire, with Gandalf, Frodo, and Sam appearing one by one, Ian? McKellen is indeed an old drama player. Gandalf's serious and tough old urchin character is just right by him, and he has nothing to do with the previous Magneto.

Adrian couldn't help but sighed regretfully in his heart. He originally wanted to persuade McKellen to play Dumbledore, which must be very interesting. Just before the screening, he teased the old man that if he had agreed, he would have attended the premieres of the three most influential films released by Universal at the end of the year, but McKellen's attitude was very firm.

"I have already played a legendary character, and I played a superhero before. There is really no need to repeat it." That's what the old man said.

Elijah? Frodo of Wood? Baggins is also very eye-catching, with a baby face, blue eyes, slightly melancholy eyebrows, and a cheerful smile, the word "simple" is almost written on his face . It was indeed a good idea to choose him to play Frodo, but it is also doomed to a bumpy future. Babyface may be a killer for child actors, but it is also something that adult actors are afraid to avoid.

Anyway, as far as the movie is concerned, he is still very good, because the non-frontal shots are all used dwarf actors, although the crew has tried their best to make the halfling characters in front of the camera look squat and squat Yes, but as long as Frodo is standing with other non-dwarf races, there is still some difference between the camera transitions.

This is not Ilya's fault, and it is inevitable. Fortunately, Adrian has noticed this before, so he specially emphasized it when supervising the editing, and minimized such switching, so it did not affect the specific look and feel.

With the appearance of the Supreme Ring, the plot further unfolded. After Gandalf went to confirm, he asked Frodo to take the ring to the Prancing Horse Inn to wait for him. The four halflings gathered together successively, and Saruman, Ringwraiths, and elves also appeared on the stage one by one, and the scenery of Baicheng and Isengard also showed part of it successively, which surprised many audiences present.

There are no changes in these places, except for the battle between Gandalf and Saruman. The original version is really a bit stupid and lacks the demeanor that a wizard should have. Just a few "heh" and "ha" and people flew out. I don't know if Jackson is Due to the lack of funds, I still wanted to be as realistic as possible, so I arranged this way. Of course Adrian would not be like this, so the spells here are a little bit more gorgeous-not very big, and there is no harm in being simple and simple, too gorgeous magic will only separate the emotions of the audience.

It would be understandable if Jackson made it this way at the beginning, but it was a little too contrived. Adrian modified it. Although it added some effects, it was not even like "Harry Potter". And adjusted the demeanor of the two wizards, with a little elegance, it looks like seventeenth-century nobles dueling.

Then, another hero, Aragorn, appeared in the Prancing Horse Inn. The inn has a very important position in western fantasy literature. Many stories start from the inn, so Frodo was discovered by the Ringwraiths, and Ala Gong rescued them, and the two met at the Yuema Hotel since then.

The next thing is that Frodo was stabbed by the Ring Spirit, and Liv also officially appeared on the stage. Accompanied by the almost holy white light, Liv's beautiful angel-like face is amazing, which is very in line with the "Evening Star" in the novel. call.

"It's so beautiful." Adrian leaned close to Liv's ear and blew gently. Although Liv didn't look at him, she curled her mouth and showed a smug and sweet smile.

Although after the white light, Arwen on the screen was no longer so dazzling, but the subsequent chase made her a little more heroic, especially at the entrance of Rivendell holding up the long knife and calling for the water to wash away the ring spirit. It is very dazzling . Here, Adrian also tried to add a touch of magnificence to the simplicity, making Arwen look even more unattainable, and there was even some applause in the screening hall.

Then, the scenery of Rivendell was fully displayed, and the cg production was quite exquisite. In the soft warm tones, it seemed that this place would never be eroded by darkness. Boromir, Golden Thunderbolt and Legolas also appeared on the stage immediately. Silver, who inherited the tradition of the Phoenix family, is quite handsome, more dazzling than the original version, especially the corners of his mouth slightly turned up and his eyes showing admiration when he got off the horse, very good It shows the arrogance of an elf and respect for Rivendell.

The same is true for the bickering with Jinli afterwards, just raising an eyebrow or laughing, reflecting the slightly contemptuous but just right emotion. So Adrian couldn't help but sigh regretfully again, this guy Silver is not inferior to his two brothers in terms of acting skills at all, but he just wants to make records and become a singer...

Finally, after Frodo came forward and promised to throw the Supreme Ring into the crater, the Guardians of the Ring squad composed of fighters with the status of heirs from various races set off—no wonder some people ridiculed them in the previous life, if there was no prince or something If you don't have the identity, you don't even think about joining the Fellowship of the Ring.

Next, the Snow Mountain was blocked by Saruman, and they chose the Moria mine, but found that the orcs and the Balrog had killed all the dwarves inside. , entered the Golden Forest Rose Lorien, Galadriel also officially debuted.

There was a sound of admiration in the screening hall, and it was not known whether it was because of the CG-made Rose Lorien or the luxurious Galadriel. Of course, this time Adrian kept his mouth shut and said nothing. But soon, an even more amazing picture appeared. When the majestic Gate of Agonas appeared in the picture, there was a buzzing sound in the auditorium.

Majestic, majestic, and with a heavy sense of history, Adrian has worked hard on this shot. The shocking shot in the original version is even more amazing in this version. Many people can't help it Cheers came out, even knowing that such a statue is basically impossible to exist in reality.

The next battle was quite eye-catching. When Adrian was filming here, he specially called the assistant who had studied with Yuan Heping for a few days to take the shot. As I said before, although Yuan Heping always hid it Some things, but relying on the power of technology, the technicians still analyzed a lot of things. So even though they hadn't fully grasped Yuan Heping's set at that time, it was just right for a movie like "Lord of the Rings" where fights start and end.

Rough and fierce, whether it is Boromir, Gimli, Aragorn or those half-orcs and orcs, they are all like this when they fight. This kind of head-to-head but with a bit of skill fighting, plus the camera editing is just right, Let the audience watch very enjoyable. It is precisely because of this that Legolas, who wins completely with skill, has become the biggest highlight. He is vigorous and flexible, and he passes by like the wind when fighting. Enough to make young female moviegoers scream.

But the most heroic, and the most exciting part of the first book of "The Lord of the Rings", is Boromir's heroic sacrifice. The son of the regent of Gondor, after being so confused by the Supreme Ring that he tried to snatch it away, but repented, he resolutely blew the horn to attract a large number of half-orcs, creating conditions for Frodo and the others to escape.

Although he killed countless orcs very heroically, he finally fell under the arrow of a certain orc. Just when the monster was about to cut off his head, Aragorn came galloping and killed him after a hard fight. The orcs were killed, but Boromir was powerless.

"Forgive me... I wanted to snatch the Supreme Ring, I let everyone down..." Boromir gasped with arrows stuck in his body.

"No, Boromir, you are very brave, you have kept your dignity." Aragorn said comfortingly.

"Everything is over, the human world will perish, darkness will cover the earth, and our city will also be destroyed." Boromir shook his head sadly.

Looking into his eyes, Aragorn said in a deep voice: "I don't know how much power I have, but I swear, I will never let the White City fall, and I will never let our people be slaughtered."

"Our people..." the dying Boromir muttered, "Our people!"

His eyes suddenly lit up, glowing with the last brilliance, he reached out his hand to grab the hilt that he had dropped, and finally got it with the help of Aragorn, and put it in his heart.

He looked at him with a smile: "I am willing to follow you...my brother...my leader...my...king..."

This scene is so sensational that if there are emotional people in the audience, they may cry in public.

A good movie must have at least one scene that can be firmly remembered. There is no doubt that Boromir's monologue is the biggest highlight of the first movie, which is not lost to Gandalf who fights the Balrog. So even if the plot is a bit slow in many places—even if it is adjusted by Adrian, the book has so many pages after all, it is really difficult to choose. But there are these really good passages, enough to make people remember this movie.

So, when the lights came on, warm applause resounded through the screening hall.

"There is no doubt that this is a masterpiece. All friends who are worried about the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings" by the director of Marvel can rest assured that Adrian has used a huge space to completely describe the world of Middle-earth described by Tolkien. Unfolding, the beautiful and peaceful Shire, the gorgeous and elegant Rivendell and Rose Lorien, and the simple and magnificent Gate of Agonath are all amazing.

He firmly grasped the direction of the plot. Although he modified many places and gave up many details, he did not damage the main plot. Not only were the characters portrayed well, but several battles were also very exciting. Whether it was the previous Chase of the Ringwraiths, or the Battle of the Moria Mine and the Battle of the Woods by the Fellowship of the Ring, people couldn't help applauding, especially the death of Boromir was the climax of the whole story!

It is worth mentioning that none of the protagonists in the movie are well-known actors. Vigo who plays Aragorn? Although Mortensen started to get involved in acting in the 1980s, there are not many well-known works, but in "The Lord of the Rings", he has superbly deduced the style that Aragon should have, which is almost the same as Eliza in Tolkien's works. King is no different. And Frodo Elijah, who plays another leading role? Wood is only 20 years old, and although there are few eye-catching roles since "Oliver Twist" in 1997, he does express Frodo's innocence and strength clearly.

Besides, whether it's Silver, the youngest of the Phoenix family who plays Legrace? Phoenix, or John as Gimli? Rhys Davis, or Sean as Boromir? Bing, Ian as Gandalf? Sir McKellen, Christopher as Saruman? Sir Lee, Hugo as King Elrond? Weiwen has something remarkable.

The two women with the most roles in the whole story, Kate? Blanchett is as elegant as ever, Liv? Taylor is also intoxicatingly beautiful. I have to say that the director of Miracle's vision is indeed very accurate. It is the luckiest thing for book fans to have him directing the movie version of "Lord of the Rings". "

-- "San Francisco Chronicle" James? Deng Bo

Basically, careful people who know a little bit of inside information can tell when they read the name of the newspaper that this is deliberately touting Adrian. Who doesn't know that the Hearst Group and the media cooperate quite closely? But the problem is, first of all, this is definitely not the most touted newspaper. You must know that "USA Today" even promoted the first movie of "Lord of the Rings" so beautifully. Every place is done perfectly, which will inevitably leave a heavy mark in the history of film; secondly, "The Lord of the Rings" deserves this kind of praise and even flattery.

Basically, film critics praised this movie overwhelmingly, and gave high scores one after another. Imdb even reached a high score of 8.9, surpassing "The Godfather" in one fell swoop and temporarily sitting at the top of p250, above Rotten Tomatoes The freshness and praise also exceeded 90%! Words of speechless praise were put on "The Lord of the Rings", even if someone criticized it, it would soon be drowned out, so the media affiliated to the media sang praises to Director Miracle more confidently.

At the same time, fans of Tolkien's books all over the world also expressed their joy.

"This is a huge surprise. Director Miracle has perfectly restored the Middle-earth world described by Mr. Tolkien. Aragorn, Arwen, Frodo, Gandalf, Galadriel and other characters are finally the first We have a specific image this time, and we thank Mr. Adrian, although many details in the book were ignored due to the time limit of the film, this is still a perfect film, and we have every reason to look forward to the second part of the series!" So writes one influential fan on the front page of a website he started to collect all things Lord of the Rings-related romps.

With such overwhelming publicity and good word of mouth, the box office grossed more than 90 million in North America in the first three days, and it was only a little bit short of breaking 100 million, which shows how enthusiastic the audience is.

"This is the performance of strength." Adrian boasted to Claude.

"Okay, strength." Claude smiled and patted him on the shoulder and didn't care.

Many people also don't care. With the achievements of the director of Marvel, it is not difficult to do this. Many people are also thankful that Adrian didn't say anything mocking when he announced that he was about to put "Lord of the Rings" on the screen, otherwise he would have to be slapped a few times now. Of course, after Adrian has achieved so many achievements, there are still people who tirelessly carry out various reverse prophecies, either for opposition or opposition, or their brains are pumped into water.

Although Adrian is proud, he has not forgotten another hero, except for Peter? After receiving a large amount of dividends—of course not as much as in his previous life—Jackson also said that he could hand over the script of "King Kong" to himself. If he thinks it's good, he can prepare for the start of the film after the completion of the post-production of the remaining two "Lord of the Rings" that he will arrange for himself in the middle of next year.

Both "X-Men" and "Lord of the Rings" were released and achieved good results, but Adrian's Thanksgiving-Christmas schedule premiere tour is not over, although it is like between "X-Men" and "Lord of the Rings" The premiere of "Training Day" is only for the films that were conceived and invested, and there is no need to participate, while "Chocolate", which was also released in between, did not hold a premiere because of its small scale, but some There is no escape.

For example, it was released after "The Lord of the Rings", and it was entrusted by Gwyneth, and she and Russell? Crowe starred in the descriptive mathematician John? A Beautiful Mind by Nash.
