Chapter 247: Elven Prince (1)
At 7 p.m., all the guests arrived, and the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring press conference began.
Chinese netizens finally saw the details of the show published on the official website, after the Jade Emperor Jiahe only announced the name of the movie, and nothing else, not even a poster.
The discussion in the QQ group of "entertainment celebrities" has reappeared.
Liu Xiaoyan: According to the information, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is based on the three volumes of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Lord of the Rings. The mighty man has seen The Lord of the Rings? Seek popular science.
Love: I've heard the name Tolkien, but I can't remember it for a while, so I beg for it.
Zixuan Wenge: I'm Lei Feng, I feel uncomfortable if I don't do good deeds for a day, please don't thank me. The following is popular science: J.R.R. Tolkien is a famous British author, he is the originator of Western fantasy novels, his main works are "The Hobbit" and the Lord of the Rings trilogy: "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".
The Times once commented on the greatness of these two works: "The Anglophone world is made up of two parts: those who have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, and those who are about to read them." ”
Liu Xiaoyan: Sounds like a good dick.
Lost Love: Unclear.
Domestic netizens are not familiar with Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but there is a feeling of uncertainty, but European and American netizens are indeed like thunder, they are as familiar with the Lord of the Rings trilogy as Chinese are familiar with Jin Yong's works.
When Jade Emperor Golden Harvest announced the information of the film on Google and the official website at the same time, the traffic of the two websites skyrocketed in less than 30 minutes, such as the Google zone from 20,000 people to 200,000 people.
At the moment, the interest of this part of European and American netizens in this new film has surpassed that of Chinese netizens.
At the same time, at the scene of the movie press conference, the main creators of the crew of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" finally appeared. They are:
Peter. Jackson: Director of this film
Elias. Wood: 20-year-old newcomer, the main character in the play, Frodo. Baggins.
Feng Shaofeng: A famous Chinese actor, the elven prince of the Black Forest in the play, Legolas.
Liv. Taylor: A famous Hollywood actress, the daughter of the elf king Elrond in the play, and the elf princess Arwyn.
Kate. Blanchett: Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. The queen of the Golden Forest in the play, Galadriel
Among the many actors, the leading role is played by Ilya. Wood is a newcomer who hasn't attracted much attention from netizens, and the most eye-catching one is Liv. Taylor and Feng Shaofeng. The former has attracted the attention of Western netizens, while the latter has attracted more attention from Chinese netizens.
Liv. Taylor, a goddess-level actor in the eyes of Westerners, in 1997, she was selected as the 50 most beautiful people in the world in "People".
The aesthetics of the East and the West are slightly different, with the East being subtle and elegant, and the West being passionate and unrestrained. Liv. Taylor pushes that line. In appearance, she has fair skin, a slender figure, and curvaceous, which is completely in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese, and the so-called beautiful women in many European and American movies can have long facial features, but the body is burly like a man's big arms, and her thighs are not pleasing.
You can imagine what kind of ghost crying wolf scene those otaku in the Google section look like when they see the goddess.
And in the "entertainment big coffee" QQ group. Feng Shaofeng played the role of the elf prince, which was too surprising. The discussion in the group became intense.
Liu Xiaoyan: I never expected that the boss would actually arrange Feng Shaofeng to play the elf prince, although I like Feng Shaofeng very much, but the whole film is too shocking for him as a Chinese?
Mourning: It's nothing. Li Lianjie is also a Chinese in the movie he played in Hollywood, I wonder why the boss doesn't let Hua Tsai play ah?
Liu Xiaoyan: If it was Nicholas Tse or Huang Xiaoming, how good it would be, I am their fan.
Zixuan Wenge: Don't argue, I think Feng Shaofeng is very handsome. He is quite good at acting, and we have to believe that the boss has his own intentions. We will continue to support Boss, this is Boss's first film to enter the global market. I suggest that you help spread the word.
Liu Xiaoyan: I agree, let's go to various forums to post.
Love: It's okay to post, but it's necessary to be organized, and we'd better design the promotional posts.
The suggestion of several people was responded to by many people in the group, and the press conference ended in half an hour, and everyone in the QQ group brainstormed and worked out a set of publicity plans, and they immediately took organized action
Time flies quickly, and a week later, the Lord of the Rings crew arrived at Mount Victoria, New Zealand.
Mount Victoria is a small hill near Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, which is inconspicuous in picturesque New Zealand, but today the Lord of the Rings crew is going to shoot here, and this hill will not be ordinary from now on.
At the foot of the mountain, the cast is doing makeup in a makeshift tent, The Lord of the Rings is a movie full of magic, the characters in the play are very complicated, a group of makeup artists can't do it at all, only the world's top special effects studio can do it, for which Jade Emperor Golden Harvest found Weta Studio.
Weta Studios is a full-service film and television special effects company in New Zealand that designs and manufactures a wide range of large and micro props including professional prop styling and tinkering, creature props, armour and weapons crafting, miniature sculptures, large sets, sets and costumes, and of course, special effects. The industry-renowned special effects studio is secretive and low-key, and because it's based in Wellington, the capital of the small film nation of New Zealand, they are able to step away from the Hollywood spotlight and focus on bringing their dreams to life for imaginative filmmakers, especially those with a penchant for weirdness.
At this moment, Feng Shaofeng was accepting Weita's makeup artist to put him on makeup, and at the same time chatting with Chen Lin, who was also the boss and teacher.
"Teacher, to be honest, I'm very worried right now, and I still don't know whether my appearance is suitable for the role of Legolas." Feng Shaofeng did not hide his inner apprehension in the face of Chen Lin, the teacher.
"Shao Feng, you have to have confidence in yourself, I am very optimistic about you, your image and temperament are in line with the elf prince." Chen Lin knew Feng Shaofeng's doubts and said with a smile: "I know that you think in your heart that you are a Chinese and incompatible with the Western elf prince, right?" ”
"That's true." Feng Shaofeng nodded in acknowledgement.
"It's not a problem, you have to trust the artists of Weta Studio, they will use their tricks to make you so that you don't see that you are an Oriental, and you think it fits the elven prince in everyone's mind." Chen Lin comforted.
"That's all there is to it now." Feng Shaofeng thought of the exquisite skills of the artists at Weta Studio, and his confidence was restored.
In fact, Weita's designers have made a simulated image for him in the computer, and the effect has won the approval of Chen Lin and the director, otherwise even if Chen Lin is an investor, if the Hollywood team thinks that Feng Shaofeng's image does not meet the requirements, they will not sell his face as a boss.
At this time, Feng Shaofeng changed the topic, glanced at Chen Lin, and said gratefully: "Teacher, thank you for your attention all the time, I know that like last night, you deliberately held a bonfire party, plus the play a few days ago, in fact, you are creating opportunities for me to get along well with the crew." ”
"These are my responsibilities as a boss, a crew unity and harmony sometimes directly affect the filming progress of a film, and even the quality of the film, and this is the first time we work with a foreign team, in fact, not only you, I am not familiar with these foreign actors, this situation must change, before the film starts shooting, everyone does not say how good the relationship is, how harmonious, at least to eliminate the strangeness." Chen Lin smiled: "Okay, Shaofeng, I'll go and see other people's makeup, don't talk about it." (To be continued......)
