Chapter 1073: The Casting of the Lord of the Rings [Second Update]
Walking out of the dormitory quickly, Zhang Chu hurriedly put the stack of books in his hand on the back seat of the car, although he was usually exercising, but of course he had to be lazy if he could be lazy.
Taking out the few books he needed today and putting them in his backpack, he looked at his watch and found that there were less than five minutes left before the class time, but fortunately he knew where the class was and immediately started the car.
On university campuses, especially in the plains, there are a lot of bicycles, and every time it's time for class or meals, the army of bicycles is set out en masse.
Zhang Chu finally found a parking space, immediately turned off the fire, and quickly ran towards the third floor of the lecture hall with his bag.
The lecture hall that can accommodate two hundred people was already densely packed, and he didn't find the figures of An Mi and Sun Ruiqi for a while, so he had to find a vacant seat in the back row and sit down, planning to talk about it later.
As soon as I sat down, the class bell rang, and I really stepped on the bell to enter the classroom.
They have a lot of courses to study this year, such as Chinese rhetoric, Chinese folk literature, theoretical linguistics, modern Chinese prose studies, the history of ancient Chinese criticism, etc., and a lot of elective courses.
Now the course is called Comparative Literature.
The professor walked in with the bell, this professor who looks like he is in his forties is full of literary atmosphere, if he changes into a robe, he will directly become a male professor of literature and art in the Republic of China!
"Good morning, everyone, you all seem to be a little tired, please cheer up, today we are going to study the uninvited guests of today's literary studies, that is, comparative literature. ”
In the huge classroom, the male professor's voice was so loud that he could hear it clearly even in the last row, making people have to worry about whether his throat and throat could withstand it.
"In the new century of the expansion and development of knowledge and science and technology, and in today's world where the economy and information are globalized, some disciplines have died or are declining. More often than not, there are frequent changes in disciplines and development and innovation, such as Einstein's theory of relativity, which overthrew the cornerstone of classical physics...... The situation of literature is different from that of these disciplines, whether it is a tome or a short poem, whether it is written in the past or now, as long as there is no language barrier and it is literary, then people will still read, appreciate and study it with relish.
However, the study of literature, like the progress of human understanding and science as a whole, also needs to be inherited, developed, and even innovated. This is the reason why students want to study comparative literature after learning literary history, literary theory and other literary subjects!"
Professor Sun Jingyao stood alone on the stage, did not use PPT or board books, and talked to this group of students about the causes and consequences of comparative literature.
He did not start by talking about what comparative literature is, but gave a brief introduction to the relevant situation, so that students can have a holistic view.
Zhang Chu sat in the back row and listened very carefully, a good teacher will naturally bring students into this subject, and it is not wrong to study more.
Although he is now worth a lot of money and has a savior system, it is important to enrich himself.
Before I knew it, the first class passed quietly, and when the bell rang for the next class, almost all the students were a little reluctant, and it was great to meet such an interesting teacher!
There are many fewer teachers in the university than in high school, and during the ten minutes between classes, 200 students go to the toilet to go to the toilet, chat, and go to get boiling water, and the classroom becomes very lively.
Just as Zhang Chu was about to play with his mobile phone for a while, a girl sitting in front of him suddenly turned around and asked curiously, "Zhang Chu, can I ask you about something?"
"If I know and don't need to keep it a secret, then I can tell you. ”
It's good that he has been a classmate for two years, and he usually needs the help of his classmates, but Zhang Chu didn't refuse.
Xie Yao took his mobile phone and said: "Just now I saw a melon in a gossip WeChat public account, saying that the "Lord of the Rings" movie signed the first actor, and is ready to let Shake Sen play the elf prince, right?"
"What? he's going to play the elven prince??"
Zhang Chu let out a rhetorical question from his soul, not believing this at all.
"It seems that you don't know, but the melons of this account are quite accurate, and he has been told several times. If only Dousen could play this role, I must go to the cinema to support it!"
Dousen's full name is Tom Hiddleston, and the most popular among Chinese female netizens is the role of Loki in Thor, what real person is handsome and has long legs, and Cambridge Xueba, which belongs to the third or fourth tier in Europe and the United States, but is a top Internet celebrity in China.
However, Zhang Chu shook his head and said: "I personally think that this news may be fake, how can Hollywood's melons be the turn of an ordinary marketing account to explode." Besides, Shake Sen's temperament doesn't match the elf prince at all. ”
If you really let Shake Sen play the elf prince, how can the smartness, elegance and handsomeness of the elf clan be displayed, it will really be a headache, anyway, Zhang Chu is not optimistic about this combination.
Xie Yao was extremely disappointed, "Ah, Bai is happy, why is Dousen's resources so abusive, there are no good movies to find him!"
Don't think that Yan Da's high-achieving students don't chase stars and gossip, the ears of the people around him are all pricked up.
In the top resource of "The Lord of the Rings", the actor Frodo may not soar, but as long as he can play the role of the elf prince well, it will inevitably become one of the highlights of the film.
On the earth, as soon as Orlando Bloom's shocking appearance appeared, the audience almost all over the world agreed, this is the legendary elf, this is the real handsome!
Among the many actors in the Lord of the Rings, Orlando's acting skills are low, but he can't stand up to his good looks.
This trilogy of films made his popularity begin to blow out, and then partnered with Johnny Depp to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and also became the leading actor in "Heavenly Dynasty".
It's a pity that there are no works with splashes in the back, the acting skills are not high, and the appearance gradually collapses, before Zhang Chu was reborn, the elf prince even came to China to star in Chinese action movies, purely eating the old book.
In this world, Zhang Chu did consider continuing to let Orlando Bloom play the elf prince, but after a check, he found out that the actor was in his forties and could probably only play the elf prince and his father.
An Mi didn't know when he got to Zhang Chu's side, he squatted on the ground just parallel to the desk, "I also think he is not suitable to play the elf prince." Is there any progress in casting now? Will there be blacks?"
"I don't know about this, I've been busy writing books lately, and I haven't been in touch with the global side at all, and I don't know any casting yet, so I'll ask later. ”
In fact, Zhang Chu is also very curious about the casting of the Lord of the Rings, good actors can make a movie.
In Tolkien's original book, in fact, there are very few scenes in the role of Legolas, but in the movies shot by Peter Jackson, they are magnified and a lot of scenes are added.
The role of Legolas did play a role in stimulating the box office in the later period, and the actor who became popular all over the world in those years was Orlando, who played Legolas, except for Leonardo, who rose up with the Titanic.
To this day, many people don't know Orlando's name, and they only refer to him as the elven prince.
So what is the reason why this character is so popular all over the world?
Very simple.
That's the looks!
The popularity of the elven prince in it is not very high, he is a member of the ordinary Ring Squad, belonging to the male number four or even the male number five, which is far worse than the characters of Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf, and Sam.
But after the movie version came out, the appearance of this character simply hit the hearts of thousands of audiences, and the elf shape comes with a bonus to its appearance.
Although Dou Sen has played the second male lead in Thor, if he can become a supporting actor in a movie of the Lord of the Rings, fans will be very happy.
It's a pity that Xie Yao herself knows that there is no news from Hollywood, how can a Chinese media get accurate information, it is nothing more than a marketing account slipping fans.
Maybe the news of the official account is not well known to me, at least I can contact the author, and the author with the title of the filmmaker should be more credible.
"Anyway, this movie is too mysterious, the name of a director has only been announced from now on, and there is nothing else. Lao Zhang, what I am most concerned about now is who will play Aragon and Gandalf, and netizens have already photoshopped many actors. ”
It's true that Anmi likes "The Lord of the Rings", but she doesn't like it to forget to sleep and eat.
Zhang Chu spread his hands helplessly: "If I am in Hollywood now, there will definitely be inside information." But I'm back home, and the news I get is what the world wants me to know. Now rest assured, it is estimated that the casting director is busy, and there should be news one after another recently. ”
He didn't tell Anmi and the others all the truth, for example, he would definitely know the cast before the outside world, because only when he nodded his head could the crew officially sign a contract with the actors, otherwise it would conflict with Zhang Chu's contract.
Now Universal Pictures hasn't come to the door yet, proving that they haven't reached an agreement with the agency behind the actor, otherwise they can't get around him at all!
"Seriously, although the topic of political correctness is abused, I think it's better not to have a black elf in the Lord of the Rings, and even the appearance of a yellow-skinned elf is unacceptable to me. A classmate next to me jokingly said, "I'm not a fan of white people, but it does spoil the imagination." If you have a few Asian actors in the human race, I think it's okay. ”
"Maybe you won't be able to see the difference in the skin color of these actors. ”
Zhang Chu's mind was clear for a while, there must be no way to let a black man play a half-orc or a strong orc, that would definitely cause trouble, and he was sprayed by the Virgin's disease to discriminate against the half-orc, and it will be even more miserable when the time comes.
