The Lord of the Rings cost more than $500 million to make, which is not a small number for any movie studio, and it would be a box office failure.

The director was only determined some time ago, and a month has passed, and the screenwriting team, the director team and the producer are still running in the script, and from time to time Zhang Chu, who is far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, will be invited to join the group chat to discuss the plot.

Obviously, the script and content of the movie cannot be exactly the same, and there are certain trade-offs, and it is normal that the filming location has not been determined, and even the script has not been decided.

In addition to the script, the most headache is casting!

There is a saying in Hollywood that no actor is irreplaceable. All actors who are a little ambitious have their eyes locked on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and if they can star in this kind of commercial blockbuster that attracts worldwide attention, it will be of great help to their careers.

Actors of all ages can find suitable roles in the movie, and now it is the turn of the brokerage companies behind these actors to work with their agents to see who can get the main role.

"I went to New Zealand before and didn't know that it was so suitable for the location of "The Lord of the Rings", and now I haven't announced the location for the sake of keeping a low profile, director Ridley Scott is British, and he prefers to shoot in the highlands of England and Iceland. I didn't take a lot of photos and videos in New Zealand, he probably thinks it's pretty good, maybe he has flown to New Zealand to quietly investigate!"

Zhang Chu doesn't know how long it will take to see the birth of the movie, but in his previous life, he was just an ordinary concern, and he didn't even contribute a movie ticket, and he still made up for it when he was a hobbit.

In this life, I am fortunate to be able to participate in the preparation and filming of this classic work that has been left in the history of photography, which is a happiness that no amount of money can buy!

If he hadn't had to go to school now, I'm afraid he would have stayed in Los Angeles right now and wouldn't leave.

However, considering that they are all juniors now, maybe they haven't really entered the shooting state by the time of their senior year. It doesn't matter if it's already filmed, if the three films are filmed together, it will be impossible to complete the task in less than a year.

When he was on Earth, even though "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" had been released and won thirteen awards including the Oscar for Best Picture, Peter Jackson's dead fat man was still making a reshoot for the extended version of the DVD, claiming to be the film that won the Oscar for Best Film before it was finished!

In my senior year, I basically didn't have classes, and I just had to write my thesis at that time.

Anmi crossed his fingers behind the seat of the car and said, "Now I don't think any actor is worthy of these roles? ”

Not to mention Anmi, it is difficult for Zhang Chu to imagine what "The Lord of the Rings" looks like with a change of actors and a change of director, but Hollywood can produce a lot of people, find actors who fit the role, and then make up artists, costume artists, and stylists give a little more effort, it should still be able to restore.

At least in this life, there will be more production expenses than in the previous life, and the props and costumes should be more delicate and delicate!

As they spoke, they came to the barbecue restaurant at the east gate, the area of the restaurant is not large, but the attendance rate is very high, because there are many students from nearby colleges and universities who come here to eat, and the TV is also playing sports programs that young people like, chatting about football and drinking, you can't go wrong here.

The store's homemade sour plum soup is more sour than the powdered finished product, and a chilled sour plum soup on a hot summer day quenches your thirst and heat.

The enoki mushroom bacon is grilled just right, and the grilled prawns are of course charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and no table of guests will miss the lamb skewers!

The mutton in the north tasted much better than the mutton in the south, and Zhang Chu and the four of them tasted it happily, making the matcha that was secretly brought in very anxious.

"This mutton is roasted very tender, there is no peculiar smell, and the seasoning is just delicious, I think this shop is very good, the taste is not very heavy, which can highlight the taste of the ingredients themselves!" Zhang Chu gave a thumbs up, sometimes he is used to eating home-cooked food, and it is good to change the taste.

Probably the northerners are really bold, the pork cutlet with tomato sauce, baked potatoes and wisps of cheese, and the final bite is of course the roast lamb scorpion, which is big and the meat on it is very real!

Obviously still working out, but Zhang Chu is not ambiguous at all when he eats pork belly, this kind of marinated and grilled pork belly is wrapped together with fresh lettuce leaves, and the greasy taste is resolved.

There are several different kinds of grilled wings in front of Anmi, and in addition to the most familiar Orleans grilled wings, there are also spicy grilled wings and mustard-flavored grilled chicken wings, which makes the four big men eager to try.

"Lao Zhang, it looks like you should be a food columnist! You have money and time, you can taste food, not to mention, you can write this feeling in words, you are simply a natural foodie!" Sun Ruiqi praised, "If the owner of this store knows what you said just now, he is probably willing to spend money to record it, this is a rare advertisement." ”

Yang Ling took a sip of sour plum soup and said, "I think there can be." Now don't readers say that you are becoming more and more perverted, you are simply perverted to the point of writing a book of delicacies, using words to whet their appetite and make them salivate, this is the highest level of perversion!"

Food variety shows are too fake, movie works are too direct, TV works are too homely, or the description of words in books is the most meticulous.

Many literary works have food in the reader's memory, but it is purely an embellishment, not the subject of the article.

For example, in the magical realism classic "One Hundred Years of Solitude", getting the guava dessert that is repeatedly mentioned is an embellishment. Maupassant's "My Uncle Hule", which was selected for the Chinese textbook, contains a detailed description of the action of an oyster.

Zhang Chu stopped eating and thought seriously in the face of the ridicule of his friends.

"It seems interesting to write this kind of food article, so that they can't eat it. If you have the slightest interest in food, it will be difficult to resist the attraction of food in literature, and it is very likely that you will be hungry and drool when you read it, which is purely revenge on society!"

An Mi gave a thumbs up: "If you really write it, then I must not read it, so as not to be seduced into saliva." ”

"But if you only write about food, you might as well read the recipe. This can only be used as an important element, not as a main line, otherwise no one wants to watch it at all. You are an example, and even you are not willing to support me in writing a pure food essay. ”

Zhang Chu plans to try it in many ways, and he is not willing to become a so-called horror master, that is just one aspect of him!
