Chapter 848: Legras

The Hollywood blockbuster that Liu Yu wants to participate in is called "The Ring", adapted from the best-selling magic novel of the same name, which tells the vulgar story of the grassroots defeating the big demon king with the help of the Ring. Of course, Liu Yu is not playing the grassroots protagonist, but the elf prince who can be called the first male supporting role - Legolas, who has given the protagonist a lot of help.

It is said that Liu Yu was able to get this important role, in addition to the fact that Dongsen Investment, led by Cynthia, is one of the investors in the film, but also because Liu Yu's slender Oriental body shape compared to Westerners is very consistent with the description of the elves in the original book.

Liu Yu's first scene when he joined the crew was the highlight, this scene was Legolas's appearance scene, mainly showing Legolas's dexterity and accurate calculations when walking through the forest.

said that this scene is the main event, mainly because the character of Legolas already has an inherent image in the minds of fans of the original book, so if Liu Yu's performance cannot match or even surpass the "elf prince" in the minds of readers, it will make this part of the audience resist the movie "Lord of the Rings 1" from the beginning, which is a situation that director Peter Jackson will never allow to appear.

Therefore, Liu Yu must have no lines, no movements, and no costumes to set off, and as soon as he appears, he must deter Peter Jackson, who is very demanding of this, otherwise he is likely to lose this role.

When Liu Yu walked into the set from the dressing room, he was dressed in an elf hunting costume and attracted the attention of almost everyone at the scene, you must know that the delicate skin of Asians is very attractive, coupled with Liu Yu's slender skeleton, noble temperament and deep black eyes, people can't help but feel a feeling of "the elf prince appears in the source star".

Peter Jackson was also amazed by Liu Yu's appearance. He had to admit that this Middle-earth actor, who is said to be a rising star in Asia, really played the elf prince alive, and this point, just look at the reactions of the ladies at the scene, their eyes are almost glued to the body of the young man, and the wolf-like greedy and eager eyes are absolutely impossible to fake.

What he is more worried about now is whether Legolas's demeanor will be weakened by this scene-stealing appearance, after all, Liu Yu looks so elegant and noble at this moment, which is completely different from Legolas's ruthless and murderous character setting.

With such worries, Peter Jackson decided to shoot one out first, and if it really didn't work, he couldn't care about the original shape of the "Lord of the Rings" novel. I have to change Liu Yu's image.

Liu Yu stood up in the green background, and the moment Peter Jackson shouted the beginning, his eyes were clear, and the momentum on his body suddenly became fierce, and he took steps according to the pre-designed position. Every step seems to be stepping on the tip of a person's heart, and it has its own light and majesty unique to forest hunters.

Liu Yu's performance made Peter Jackson, who was sitting behind the monitor, very amazing. There was even some blood boiling. In order to give the audience a sense of mystery, he had already signaled the videographer to start shooting with Liu Yu's feet, so in fact, there was only a close-up of a pair of feet in the monitor, and Liu Yu could interpret Legolas's habits and momentum as an elven prince so vividly with just a few movements under his feet, which was simply ...... It's so handsome! This is definitely a very good start for "The Lord of the Rings 1".

The plot of "The Lord of the Rings 1" progresses in an orderly manner, because "The Lord of the Rings 1" is the beginning of the story of the Lord of the Rings series. So at this time, the protagonists are still some fledgling little hairy heads, in order to set off the changes and growth in the future, the actors who play them will inevitably have to perform them a little white, so on. Liu Yu has become the main pillar of the whole play, and his superb performance is a little too prominent under the backdrop of a group of hairy boys.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the actors selected by Peter Jackson are all newcomers, and they can't grasp their aura well, so it is easy for Liu Yu to rob him of the light of his role, which makes Peter Jackson very distressed. But he can't tell Liu Yu that you are acting a little worse, the other actors have let you foil it, this actor's acting is all good, and the starring actor you found yourself is not good, and the strange person can play too well, can't you? ! Besides, his original intention of looking for Liu Yu was also to hope that the role of Legolas could be brilliant, and it turned out that Liu Yu interpreted it very well and wonderfully, and it could stand up to the play "Divine Ring 1".

But the problem is that the lack of strength of other actors has made this drama completely Liu Yu's one-man show, and if it goes on like this, maybe "The Ring of God 1" will be widely acclaimed and sold well, but after Legolas's death, "The Lord of the Rings 2" and "The Lord of the Rings 3" ...... Everyone may not be interested, the reason is very simple, the protagonists are dead, who wants to watch a large collection of supporting characters with no sense of existence?!

Peter Jackson regretted that he paid too much attention to the matching of the actor's appearance, temperament and personality with the original text of the novel when he was casting, so he ignored the examination of the actor's acting skills, which is actually related to the psychology of his resistance to big-name stars.

Peter Jackson just thinks that after the movie is screened, the audience will treat the male supporting actor as the male lead, he feels extremely headache, he doesn't mind Liu Yu, a powerful faction, dominating the whole movie, after all, no director doesn't want his movie to have someone to resist the beam, but the key is that the one who can resist the beam is not the protagonist, he can't let the protagonists of the Divine Rings series play tricks throughout "The Rings 1", right?!

There is no way, Peter Jackson can only teach several new actors who play the leading role while filming, and teach them how to interpret the role by hand, although this is the director's job, but it is the first time that Peter Jackson has dealt with so many problem actors at one time.

At first, they were really a little scrambling, and it wasn't until Peter Jackson slowly got used to this rhythm of work, and the leading actors slowly got used to the roles they played, that the situation was slightly better, but even so, the filming progress was still not slowed down, which probably has something to do with the real side of the leading actors and more in line with the roles.

Time passed in a hurry during filming, and in the blink of an eye, the crew of "Divine Ring 1" has been filming for more than a month. Liu Yu also ushered in his last scene in "The Rings 1", after filming this scene, he can finish the "Rings 1" crew, this scene is the scene of Legolas's sacrifice, after post-production, this will be a scene where Legolas and the Golem will die together after the duel, this scene mainly shows the bravery of Legolas in close combat, and it is also the only time that Legolas shows a smile to the protagonists in the whole play.

Peter Jackson is still a little hesitant about this smile, he is not sure what Legolas's smile should contain, is it gratifying? Is it easy? Is it liberation? Or is it a heavy responsibility?

Therefore. After Liu Yu completed the action scene perfectly without any suspense, Peter Jackson tossed Liu Yu countless times for this shot, and took more than 30 smiles with different meanings for him, but how he looked at it and felt that these smiles were a little less tasteful, in other words. Liu Yu's more than 30 smiles were all in vain, and he will continue to laugh. Knowing that Peter Jackson was satisfied.

The most rear. Still the producer couldn't stand it, so he ran up and muttered to Peter Jackson, who was pulling his hair, "Why don't you let the actor laugh by himself?" ”

When Peter Jackson heard it, it was like an enlightenment, how could he forget Liu Yu's superb acting skills, and think about Legras's feelings. Liu Yu should be the one who feels the deepest, this person's thinking is easy to make mistakes as soon as he gets caught in something, Peter Jackson is because he is too engrossed in figuring out this smile, so he inadvertently snatched the lead of acting.

After Liu Yu received instructions from the director to play freely. After thinking about it, he turned around and made a start, because Legolas was suspended in the air when he sacrificed himself, so he turned a little harder, so that the long hair naturally flew up with the strength of the turn, coupled with the prop wind blowing obliquely from the bottom to the top, it will naturally give people a sense of sadness that the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return.

He looked at the lens that represented the perspective of the protagonist, his eyes were full of vitality, this vitality was the satisfaction of seeing the hope of the future, yes, for Legolas, the protagonists were his hope, the hope of their elven kingdom and even the entire magical world, to protect them from entering Esinger safely and completing his mission as the guardian of the Divine Ring, Legolas should be satisfied, the corner of his mouth pulled up a slight curve of blessing after the last moment, this smile is the language he left to the protagonists, In the last moments of his life, Legolas is willing to send the blessings of his elves, who represent good luck, in the face of the children who represent the hope of the future that he escorts all the way.

This is a kind of selfless and great feelings, but also the most ordinary human emotion, it brings people resonance and shock is difficult to describe in words, this is like maternal love, great and ordinary, but easy to touch. Therefore, the recognition that this love is about to leave will make people feel heartache, and this love and this smile can be eternal in people's hearts because of this suffocating pain.

Peter Jackson was deeply shocked by the smile, he seemed to be one of the people standing on the wall of Issinger looking up at him, so when Liu Yu's face disappeared from the monitor, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and instinctively wanted to reach out and grab him. But when he realized that he had only grasped a cloud of air, he came back to his senses, and now, he could finally understand what it felt like when the Ringing fans shouted at Legolas to get out of the way.

Although he walked out of the play, Peter Jackson's mood was still in shock, he didn't expect that an actor could arouse such pain in people's hearts with just a smile, and make people have such nostalgia for him, even he, the director, failed to escape his control, which is a quality that is difficult to find in Hollywood and even American actors, which is probably the reason why Americans express their feelings too outwardly, perhaps, this implicit way of acting without words to convey, Only Middle-earth actors with the ancient charm of Middle-earth in their bones can use it.

Liu Yu's performance once again inspired Peter Jackson, and he decided to let this peerless smile slowly disappear in the war, stretch the throbbing pain in people's hearts, and let their bodies remember this pain, so that their souls can be engraved with the mark of Legras, so that when people think of "The Lord of the Rings 1", they may not remember the faces of the actors, but they will definitely remember this smile, because this smile makes them feel nostalgic. As long as there are evocative classics, the work "The Legend of the Rings 1" is a success.

Peter Jackson, who was tickled by the wild imagination in his mind, walked over and hugged Liu Yu vigorously, "Perfect, Liu, your performance just now is so perfect." Trust me, Hollywood will be amazed by you. Peter Jackson exaggerated in the American style. It's been a long time since he's shown such an equal side in front of the actors, which also shows how excited he is at the moment.

"Thank you!" Liu Yu doesn't have any sense of achievement, he has experienced too many worlds, and if he can't play a role with such rich experience, then he will be stupid!

After Liu Yu politely thanked him, the rest of the crew all gathered over, especially some ladies who had already stretched out their arms and were ready to hug Liu Yu. After being drunk, he swore that Liu Yu could become popular all over the world with this film, and the situation afterwards also confirmed Peter Jackson's statement.

Four months later, Peter Jackson's masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings 1" finally reached the public, grossing $856 million worldwide. And Liu Yu's popularity has also swept the world with the big sale of "Divine Ring 1". Because Legolas was interpreted by him so classically, the audience of Yuanxing knew it for the first time. It turns out that the movement can also be described as sharp. Liu Yu's performance undoubtedly gave them this feeling, especially every time Legolas attacked, the smoothness of the movements, the concentration of his eyes and the evil aura brought by each move were very shocking, making people feel like they were boiling for him, and every time he made a move, it was a redemption for the protagonist and the audience, as if there was only him in the world. All dangers and difficulties can be resolved, all evil will be defeated, and anyone who hurts his protection will pay a terrible price, and everyone is safe with him.

Fans of "The Ring" are obsessed with Liu Yu's interpretation of Legolas. Originally, when they learned that Liu Yu was going to play Legolas, they were still worried, after all, Liu Yu is an Oriental, and Legolas has always been a vigorous image of a Westerner in their minds, but after the movie was broadcast, Liu Yu conquered their hearts with only a pair of feet as soon as he appeared, and the Legolas in their hearts can finally have a real image sustenance, Liu Yu is a perfect Legolas in their eyes, and his interpretation of Legolas is more specific and vivid than the Legolas in the book, His charm even surpasses the inherent image of Legolas in the minds of book fans, and now, in the minds of book fans, Legolas should be like Liu Yu, and they can't imagine a better Legolas than this.

And Legolas's death also made many people cry bitterly on the spot, and when this scene was played in the theater, it often sounded, "Don't die!" Come to life" "OH!NO!" Asia-Beauty-Daddy! Babble-a-aw! After the film ended, most of the audience came out with red and swollen eyes, and the official platform of "The Ring" poured into a large number of voices shouting "Give me back Legolas", which shows how deeply rooted Legolas is in the hearts of the people.

In order to see Legolas who broke their hearts again, many fans walked into the theater for the second and third time, and then cried while watching the movie, in their opinion, this is more like reading Legolas's memoirs, and they can't help but feel his heroism when they look back at all the things that Legolas has done, so they cry even more miserably at the end.

If Legolas is a character that makes the hearts of book fans feel painful, then Liu Yu's interpretation of Legolas is a character that can make fans feel painful, but he knows that every touch of the road will hurt, but he still can't help but revisit and like it, it can be said that Liu Yu's version of Legolas has reached an extreme in the hearts of fans, and it is a classic that no one can surpass. Especially the smile at the end of his last day, it is so beautiful that it makes people's hearts tremble, it is obviously a smile, but it makes them feel more nostalgic and pity than crying.

Of course, because of his handsome but not feminine appearance, his seemingly slender but actually strong contradictory physique, and his charming temperament of elegance and coldness, Liu Yu has also won the popularity of many simple visual creatures, and in their opinion, Liu Yu is the representative of "perfect people".

In short, thousands of people have a thousand likes, and Legolas's charm quickly swept the world with the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings 1". It can be said that there is no one who has watched "The Lord of the Rings 1" that does not like Leglass.

Legolas's trend has swept the world for more than two months, and even at the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, Liu Yu was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor in Cannes for the role of Legolas.

But in fact, when the filming of "The Lord of the Rings 1" was announced, Legolas was divided into supporting roles, probably because Legolas was only a character who received a box lunch in the first part of the series, in order not to give everyone a feeling that the protagonist was dead and had nothing to watch, so Legolas was divided into supporting roles.

Of course, whether it is the male lead or the supporting actor, whether it is Cannes or the Oscars, Liu Yu doesn't care, all he cares about is how much faith the moviegoers can provide him! Fortunately, the result made him very pleased, according to Xiaolian, the power of faith brought by this movie is enough for Xiao Qianshi Lu Realm to complete all the repair work and become a perfect Xiao Shi Lu Realm without "leaks-points"!

At this point, Liu Yu can be regarded as recognizing his status as a "star", at least before he has the strength to face those cultivation powers, he still has to honestly obtain the power of faith through his acting career! (To be continued......)
