In an inconspicuous corner of the theater, a long-faced man wearing a hat sat quietly in his seat, and everyone around him was attracted to the movie, plus he was just a director, and no one could recognize this as the famous Michael? Seashell.

He quietly came to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, just to see this movie, why is he also a director with an unusually distinctive commercial style, why is he not as good as Duke? Rosenberg?

Show off beautiful scenery with a wide-angle lens – he's good at it too!

Quickly switch between short shots to create a sense of sharpness in action scenes - he's a good guy too!

Guò bloody action chases, such as the Ringwraith's pursuit of a hobbit to create tension - that's what he's good at!

Pull one or more beauties to serve as vases to attract attention - he does so much more!

Enhance the beauty and authenticity of your shots with state-of-the-art special effects technology – he's also a cutting-edge technical director!

Both of them are typical commercial film directors, with such similar styles, why is there such a big difference in audience reputation for the films produced by zuò?

Duke? Rosenberg's action films and sci-fi films have been shortlisted for the top ten classics of the 90s, and even "The Matrix" has stood in the first place in the top ten classics of sci-fi films in the selection initiated by many authoritative media such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.

When the plot of the film enters the beautiful, dreamy Rivendell, Michael? Bei gradually became a little conscious.

Yes, both of them are good at what he thinks, and even have similar skills in this area, but when these things are put together, the gap is immediately apparent!

In other words, the same is a film full of commercial flavor, Duke? Rosenberg's grasp of the overall plot. The control of the rhythm of the film and the adjustment of the narrative structure are far better than him!

Is this Michael? Bey had to admit it, after all, "The Fellowship of the Ring" was screened in front of him.

He hadn't read the original book, and he didn't even know what the story was, only that the original book of the Lord of the Rings was unusually large. It's very difficult to adapt, and the film is going on so far, Duke? Rosenberg must have cut or even changed a lot of the plot, but even if he hadn't read the original book, he could easily understand what the movie was about.

It is clear that the director is not biased towards book lovers.

As for whether the book lovers are satisfied or not, Michael? Bei believed that there must be fans of the original book around him, but instead of protesting, everyone was completely immersed in the film.

That's what a director does. Is this the gap between himself and him?

A successful director can be proud, but not arrogant, Michael? Shell gradually realized something.

Hidden in treacherous valleys, forests, swamps, and streams, Rivendell is led by a moss-covered white gravel path that leads into the Rivendell Valley, where you can smell the scent of trees and warm lights shine from the valley......

Thinking about the description of Rivendell in the books. Look at the incredible scenery in the picture, Brad? A wry smile tugged at Miller's lips. The film is indeed a larger adaptation of the original book, but he has to admit that the adaptation not only does not change the flavor of the original book, but rather makes the story more compact, especially for the presentation of Tolkien's various locations......

Charles, Hobbiton, Stormtop, Rivinedell, etc., completely surpass the original. The director used unimaginable pictures to create a - no, now that the Fellowship of the Ring Expedition has just assembled and is ready to go, it should have created half of the magnificent epic!

All the beautiful scenery in the world together seems to be no match for the slightest trace of Middle-earth in the film!

"I've decided!"

That's when it happened. Brad? Miller heard Shearer's unconscious voice next to him, "I will not only be a hacker fan in the future, but also a Lord of the Rings fan!" ”

The Fellowship of the Ring on the screen is marching, apparently shot from the air, once again arousing the admiration of the surrounding area.

"How could there be such a Middle-earth continent!"

"Where was the film filmed, the scenery there is so beautiful, I want to see it with my own eyes!"

"It's in New Zealand, I have to go once!"

Shearer seemed to be stunned, "God, there is such a beautiful place, how can I live in Los Angeles in the future?" ”

"I'm going to settle in Middle-earth!" His voice was a little high, causing angry eyes around him, and he quickly covered his mouth.

The theme of the film is very simple, that is, the destruction of the Lord of the Rings, which leads to various incidents, and the narrative structure of the first part is not complicated, it is completely based on the Fellowship of the Ring, whether it is Isenger or Minas Cave and Mordor, there are only a few shots.

It is sometimes not particularly difficult for a commercial production to get a good box office, but it is not easy to become a recognized classic while getting the box office.

This is especially true for special effects films.

However, Duke did not reduce the use of special effects because of these, but increased the weight of special effects, after all, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is different from other special effects films, if you want to perfectly show Tolkien's world, how can you not use special effects?

The Moriath Mine is undoubtedly one of the scenes where the film uses the most special effects, and when the majestic King's Hall appears, all the audience unconsciously open their mouths, and such a magnificent building can only appear in the film......

"You look a little scary......," Ivanka said, undoubtedly representing Duke's role.

In the early publicity, this is one of the hot spots hyped by Warner Bros., and it has also caused a lot of repercussions.

However, another character stole all the limelight from Duke.

Legolas's initial bow and arrow shooting only drew a few female audience members to scream, but there were quite a lot of frontal close-ups, and with every bend of the bow, every movement, the screams caused by it became louder and louder!

The right vase for women adds to the appeal of the film, and the same goes for men!

Regardless of the success or failure of the film, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion from the screams of the women on the scene - Legolas and Orlando? Bloom puts the role of the male vase to infinity!

It wasn't until on the Kesar Dom Bridge, when Gandalf faced the Firefiend, that the audience's eyes took their eyes off Legolas.

"In the future, the archer will definitely be a very popular character!" Someone muttered.

If a movie wants to become a classic, there must be at least a few scenes that can be remembered, discussed afterwards, remembered from time to time, and never tired of watching.

There are many such scenes in "The Fellowship of the Ring", and Gandalf's face to the fire demon is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching.

"I am the servant of the Secret Fire, the wielder of the Burning Flame of Arno......" Gandalf holds the Ring of Fire and uses the power of the Ring of Fire against the Fire Demon, "The Dark Fire cannot defeat my ......"

After a long spell, a white circle of light resembling a magic shield appeared around him, resisting the fire sword formed by the fire demon's condensation of filthy fire.

“You.shall.not.pass！”

Gandalf shattered the bridge of Kesadom, and the Firedemon fell into the abyss.

Brad? Miller closed his eyes slightly, he was a die-hard book lover, and naturally knew that Gandalf was going to die, but thinking that the film was so exciting, and thinking that Iluvita would send him back to Middle-earth again to complete his mission, he immediately opened his eyes again!

"Run, fool!"

The Firedemon wrapped its whip around Gandalf, and the two of them fell into the depths of the world.

The Fellowship of the Ring has lost its spiritual leader!

The sad chant sounded, the characters in the film were grieving, and that kind of heartache and grief seemed to be able to convey to the big screen and infect everyone.

Duke saw it, and Ivanka quietly wiped her eyes.

Pete see, Brad? Miller seemed to have a gleam on his face, and then felt his own face wet and hot.

Shearer also sniffed hard, Gandalf can be described as heroic!

Michael? Bei saw that the surrounding audience wiped away the tears on their faces one after another, and couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

This is a typical sensational scene, first through a series of actions of Guò Gandalf against the fire demon, portraying him as a hero to save the squad, and then in a pathetic way, dying with the enemy, a very simple sensational way, but it is particularly touching!

As a commercial film director, sensationalism is the most basic skill, and he is also very good at sensationalizing through guò action shots, but compared to the scene just now, Michael? Bei suddenly felt that his sensationalism was still in the initial stage. Rosenberg's comparison is simply sensationalism for the sake of sensationalism.

And Duke? What about Rosenberg?

He has integrated sensationalism into the story framework of the whole film almost perfectly!

See now, to Michael? Bei's professionalism can naturally see that the film is almost full of sensationalism, mobilizing the audience to watch it with a big war, raising people's interest with beautiful scenery, creating tension with the hunt for hobbits by ringing spirits, and stimulating hormones with elf beauties......

These are very simple sensational techniques, and they are also used by the director, for example, he likes the wide-angle lens of sunset and sunrise very much to sensationalize.

However, to be able to integrate so many sensational techniques into a whole, so that a professional like him seems to know that he is sensational, but he will be aroused again, it is quite clever!

"There is still a gap between me and him after all!" Michael? Bei sighed lightly.

Extrapolating from time, "The Fellowship of the Ring" has passed at least two-thirds of the way, and the film's pacing, shots, narrative, action, special effects, and even the scenery as the background are all excellent, as long as there is no crashing ending later, it will inevitably be an excellent film.

Michael? Although Bei doesn't like Duke, he knows very well that Duke-style films, the ending scene is the most exciting, collapse? How is that possible.

Watch the grieving Fellowship of the Ring walk into Roslorian, Michael? Pei admitted in his heart that the gap between "Pearl Harbor" and this film is very obvious. (To be continued......)
