At first, his voice was low, like a dark night hanging in the sky, and even if it was Aragorn's heroism, it had a touch of tragedy. Then, the voice became more and more high-pitched, with a hint of excitement, as if the dawn crossed the sky. Then, the excitement became higher and higher, and when the sentence "The ancient warriors have been resurrected and will assist King Xiudon to win the battle" came out, it became even more wild, giving people the feeling of really seeing the knights in the novel reunite with the orcs.

When he arrived at Zuihou, his tone was already quite uplifting, and when he shouted "Hussars, rush" as King Xiyuton, it was like a roar of Zuihou, and the whole office was echoing.

So, when Sean finally finished reading, there was a snap, and Jackson picked up a cup that he hadn't put down from the beginning, and just dropped it on the coffee table, shook it a few times and almost fell down, and the water in it didn't move at all.

"God......" After a moment, Jackson, who was looking at Sean in a daze, finally let out an exclamation, "This is really the most haode recitation I've ever heard." ”

"Xiexie, it's just that I need to remember this part clearly, and I've acted in some stage plays before." Sean said in a modest tone.

"By the way, what's your favorite episode? Which character? Jackson asked, thinking of something.

"Hmm...... Let's put it this way, Mr. Jackson......"

"Call me Peter."

"Haode, Peter, let's put it this way, I don't have a fixed plot or character to like, and in fact, I don't think Mr. Tolkien has created characters very well, nor do I think his writing is beautiful. Strictly speaking, Mr. Tolkien's descriptions are dry and plain, so all I like is his amazing ideas. ”

"Yes...... More elaborately? ”

"Simple, what attracted me the most about the whole series was Mr. Tolkien's construction of the whole Middle-earth shijie, from the myths and legends to the layout of the continent to the customs, he designed it in great detail, and even made up the language for the elves. Each race in Middle-earth has its own unique place, and when people read it carefully, they will unconsciously sketch in their minds pictures of places such as Charr, Gondor, Isengard, Rivendell, etc., as well as the images of various heroes.

But after all, the text has limitations, and it is impossible to fully express the grandeur of Middle-earth Shijie, and people's imagination is also limited by knowledge, and there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people, so if you want everyone to feel the charm of Middle-earth Shijie, only movies can do it. That's why Weishenme was going to be one of the characters in the Lord of the Rings trilogy when I heard that the Lord of the Rings trilogy was going to be made into a movie, and the person in charge was a passionate book lover who wanted to play one of the roles in it anyway. ”

Sean finally stopped at this point and looked at Peter? Jackson, spread his hands sincerely.

"You touched me, Sean." After a while, Jackson stood up and said—

"Very well, Sean, you're doing a great job, though...... It's just a little younger. Jackson stopped filming and said, scratching his head.

"I can wear old makeup if you want." Sean shrugged his shoulders, he was wearing a prop armor and a long wig, and he had the air of a medieval knight.

"Don't worry, we'll try something else." Jackson patted him on the shoulder, then beckoned the makeup artist to come over and try on the elf outfit for him.

Seeing Sean leave, Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, and then knocked his head with a little headache. Before, under the excitement, he agreed very happily, but in actual work, he found that there was really no suitable role, and the agent who rejected him before was not entirely because of the other party's attitude.

Jackson and Sean have already tried several roles, with Merry and Pippin, four halflings, Iomo, the commander of Rohan, and Faramir, the son of the regent of Gondor, all of whom have performed remarkably. The most rare thing is that he doesn't look particularly strong, but after wearing the armor, his temperament is quite consistent with the role, with a little perseverance and determination, which is completely inconsistent with his age.

But the problem is that these roles are basically already set, and they are very difficult to replace. Like playing Faramir David? Wen Han, who is well-known in Australia and has a good relationship with Jackson himself, has agreed to play the role. Iomo is even more unlikely, Karl? Urbanke is one of the few New Zealand actors in the crew, and Jackson chose New Zealand for the location, on the one hand, because the scenery is very consistent with his imagination of Middle-earth, and on the other hand, it is also to promote his hometown, so this is almost not to be considered.

And Sean was too young - he didn't overstate his age this time, so even if Jackson wanted to use a young man who was just 19 years old for that role, he would be opposed by others on various grounds. What's more, he has been upset about the role of Aragorn, and always feels that Stewart? Townsend was a little young, and it was difficult for him to show the composure and kingly demeanor of a human emperor.

Merry and Pipin could have been considered, but the two actors had already signed a contract, and it was difficult to change without a certain suitable reason, otherwise Jackson might have replaced Townsendson, not to mention that several actors had already met and were about to receive the necessary training to become hobbits together.

"Damn, if only he had come a month earlier." The fat man couldn't help but complain.

At this moment, Sean, who had already put on makeup, walked out of it, his long golden hair was combed back to his head, his ears were slightly pointed, he was carrying a bow and arrow, his expression was grim, his appearance was both handsome and handsome, and when he raised his chin, he had the faint haughty temperament of an elf, which made Jackson stunned for a few seconds.

"Ha, just look at your appearance, you know what role you are most suitable for?" The fat man said jokingly.

"Really." Sean raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, let's put on a show." Jackson beckoned his assistant to get the script.

As a result, the fat man began to have a headache again, compared with the previous images, the elf characters are the most suitable for Sean in terms of temperament and foreign trade. But the question is, Legolas's candidate has also been decided, Orlando from the United Kingdom? Bloom, and the contract was also signed.

"How's that, Peter? Are you still satisfied? After Sean took off his makeup, he walked over and asked in a hopeful tone.

"It's perfect, Sean, especially the image of the elves." Taking this opportunity, Jackson, who had already roughly sorted out his thoughts once, replied, even so, he still had some expectations.

"We'll have to talk about it first, Sean," he said first, and then after a long time he continued with some slurry, "Frankly, from a personal point of view, I'd love to see you try the role of Legolas in the movie, but here's the problem...... The role has already been chosen, and it has already been decided. ”

Sean was slightly disappointed, but he didn't particularly care, and then followed his words and asked, "So what is your opinion?" ”

"The other characters are pretty much the same, although there are still a few undecided, but those are clearly not for you," Jackson sighed, "except for one character, Haldier." ”

"Haldir of Roslorian?" Sean reacted quickly.

"That's right, Hardir of Lorraine, the captain of the forest who was trusted by Queen Galadriel, died in the Valley of the Holy Helm." Jackson was pleased with his familiarity with the novel, and then looked at him with some nervousness.

Who knows, after thinking for a moment, Sean nodded: "No problem, then Haldir." ”

Jackson's eyes widened and he made a few meaningless gestures, seemingly in disbelief.

"Remember what I said?" Sean laughed, "As long as I can leave a role in this movie that makes the audience impressed, it is enough for me, and I believe that you can shoot the tragedy of Haldier." ”

"I love you so much, Sean." After the initial surprise passed, the fat man hugged him.

So, the things that gave Jackson a headache ended like this, and then, the things that made Sean depressed began-

"How much?" Sean looked at his agent in surprise, completely unable to believe the number he had just quoted.

"You heard it right, 100,000." Frederick shrugged his shoulders and smiled a wickedly, as if to say, "Let's see how much this is going on."

"I remember...... I remember...... The new line invested 300 million to make this trilogy. Sean asked, stammering.

"2 to be exact. A little more than 700 million, and the total amount of money for one part is no more than 100 million," Frederick continued to shrug his shoulders, "so every penny must be spent where it should be spent, real scenes, special effects, and post-production, these are the big heads, so I have to sacrifice the actors' salaries, this is what the guy who negotiated with me said." ”

"But I got a salary of 300,000 yuan for ...... "Genius Ripley", and "Death is Coming" has risen to 800,000." Sean grabbed his head and said depressedly, he wasn't too careful, but it felt a little outrageous.

"That's because you're the protagonist, and the protagonist naturally has to be treated like the protagonist, I inquired, that friend of yours, Elijah? Wood, the salary is about 200,000 per episode. The agent's tone became faster and faster, "Of course, I'm not sure, I just inquired a little, and you, now this character is only a supporting role, and a small supporting role." The other party also said that it was the New Zealand fat man who took care of him and gave him a salary of 100,000 yuan. ”

"Meaning, if it weren't for the fact that Peter and I had a good relationship, the treatment would have been even lower?" Sean frowned.

"That's right, they've always been paid by the hour for this kind of role." Frederick shrugged his shoulders for the third time.

Sean couldn't help moaning, and reached out to cover his forehead: "If it's only 100,000 yuan, it's better not to accept it." ”

"I said a long time ago, you're wasting your time," Frederick spread his hands.

"Wait!" Sean suddenly thought of something, raised his head and glanced at the agent, then beckoned to him, and whispered a few words in his ear after he came over.

"What?" Frederick's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, apparently hearing some whimsical idea again.

"It's impossible, don't forget, you can only be counted as a second-tier actor now, not even second-tier. Unless "The Talented Ripley" is a big hit, and then you get an Oscar nomination, don't even think about it with them. The agent shook his head.

"Weishenme, why don't we give it a try?" Sean changed his relaxed tone, "If you don't give it a try, how do you know if you can succeed?" Haven't we always been like this? ”

Frederick took a few steps back, showing that angry look of wanting to punch someone, and squinted his eyes at him for a while before he asked with some hesitation, "What are you going to do?" ”
