Chapter 291 Thoughts caused by the trailer

The 2000 Super Bowl was held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta between the AFC Champions Tennessee Titans and the NFC Champion St. Louis Rams.

Of course, for viewers who don’t pay much attention to the game, watching the Super Bowl is actually more about watching a Super Bowl halftime show and a unique advertising show.

Ever since Gilbert Jr. put movie trailers in the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl has become a hotly contested event in the summer.

Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" will be released on May 5th at the beginning of the summer season, and this time it also released a trailer at the Super Bowl.

In fact, the publisher of "Gladiator" is still very worried that Gilbert Jr.'s "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" will be scheduled to be on the same schedule as "Gladiator".

In fact, to a certain extent, the two films are of the same genre. They are both epic films. If they collide, it is hard to say who will win.

Although "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is generally viewed negatively by the outside world, that is little Gilbert, a man who created miracles. Who can guarantee that little Gilbert will not succeed again.

In addition to "Gladiator", Warner's "The Perfect Storm" and Fox's "X-Men: First Class" and other films will release trailers at the Super Bowl.

It is worth mentioning that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee will be released in the summer season on July 6, but this film will not be advertised on the Super Bowl.

It may be that Super Bowl advertising is expensive and the publisher, Sony, is not willing to part with it.

Since the last time "Lord of the Rings" fans protested and beat up Doug Walter, Noel has been considering a less violent way of protest.

But it turns out that, regardless of fierceness or protest, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is about to be released as expected.

This made Noel couldn't help shouting at Disney and Warner, as well as Little Gilbert.

"They are committing a crime by destroying this classic and they should be sentenced," Noel shouted at the book club.

Countless book fans responded, but while Noel called on book fans to continue protesting, he also began to doubt in his heart, is such a protest really effective?

He is considered an independent thinker. He understands the history of protests and knows that protests never have any effect except the use of force.

But you can't really beat the shit out of Doug Walter again, can you? And there's Robert Egger over there.

Little Gilbert is far away in China and you can't even touch him.

Noel watched the Super Bowl with mixed emotions.

After a not-so-intense first half, the Super Bowl entered the halftime commercial show time, and Noel could see the first trailer for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."

After the previous advertisements for various products, it was finally time for Hollywood movie advertisements.

Noel was not prepared. He had not even opened the can of Pepsi in his hand, but the trailer came on, catching him off guard.

They are also waiting. While Noel is watching the trailer with scrutiny and suspicion, Bachel Lutz and Evans in New York are looking forward to seeing "The Lord of the Rings: The Guardian" with excitement and anticipation. Trailer for "The Ring Expedition".

Although the "Lord of the Rings" novels are known as the most difficult novels to adapt, Butcher Lutz and Evans believe that as long as it is little Gilbert, it will be possible.

This kind of blind trust is the impression that Gilbert has accumulated successfully since his debut in 1991.

Likewise, Jack Zhao and Erin, Doug and Zoe, Salati and Lewis of the UCLA Little Gilbert Fan Association.

These fans of Little Gilbert all have great confidence in Little Gilbert and believe that Little Gilbert will successfully adapt this difficult-to-adapt film.

In fact, if you look at the history of Hollywood, you will find a very interesting fact.

It is often easier for movies adapted from third-rate novels to achieve box office success. However, the movie adapted from a first-rate novel did not perform well at the box office.

This wonderful feature has become one of the features of Hollywood novels adapted into movies.

Film companies are not fools, and of course they will study this rule. But there are so many third-rate novels, which one is the real gold.

However, Gilbert Jr. believes that the reason why the adaptation of first-class novels is ineffective is because directors and screenwriters do not adapt.

Otherwise, the "Harry Potter" series, "Jurassic Park" and "Lord of the Rings" are all first-class novels. Why have the movies adapted from these works been successful?

There is a gap in ability, which is a problem.

"Coming, coming, coming, Evans, the trailer is here." Bacher Lutz quickly asked his friend to sit down, and the two of them watched the trailer together.

The trailer for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" did not keep fans waiting for too long. This was the first Hollywood movie trailer to appear.

In the picture, amidst the blazing flames, there was a ring on a metal glove. The ring was engraved with an inscription that the two of them could not understand.

I don't know why, but Bacher Lutz suddenly felt very excited. He had a premonition that this film would be unusual.

After several shots were switched, little Gilbert's name appeared, and the names of several leading actors appeared, and the picture became dim.

In the slightly dim picture, countless armies were marching towards the volcano in the distance. These are two well-equipped armies. Bacher Lutz and Evans can easily tell them apart even if they have not read the original work.

These two armies are a coalition of humans and elves.

On the other side, Noel opened his mouth wide when he saw this scene, exclaiming that it was incredible and dumbfounded.

"Oh my God, this is exactly what I imagined. Is it true?"

Noel simply couldn't imagine that little Gilbert actually photographed the scene he imagined in his mind. He began to waver, began to doubt, began to have expectations.

Noel wanted to get this feeling out of his head. He shouldn't feel this way. He was a defender of the great "Lord of the Rings" novels.

He refused to accept any form of adaptation because it would ruin this magnificent work.

But after seeing this trailer, Noel thought this film might be good. This thought was like a virus, invading Noel's brain and making him begin to waver.

Before Noel could think calmly, the scene turned and an army of orcs all over the mountains and plains rushed over.

The camera also showed a close-up of what an ugly creature it was, with a hideous face and fangs exposed, as if it wanted to tear everything in front of it into pieces.

However, they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows, as well as swords and shields.

Seeing this scene, Noel had forgotten the Pepsi in his hand. He suddenly had a strong desire to watch the film immediately.

One trailer almost conquered Noel.

However, he still returned to his original intention, thinking that little Gilbert only focused all his energy on the trailer, and the effect of the main film must be terrible.

Is it really? When Noel came up with the last idea, he also began to question himself.

If it were any other front-line director in Hollywood, even Spielberg, Noel would be convinced of his idea. But that was little Gilbert, hailed by the New York Times as a once-in-a-century genius in the history of film.

Many critics put Little Gilbert's name together with great names such as Chaplin and Hitchcock.

In the field of modern cinema, there has never been a filmmaker who can compare with these two great filmmakers.

Do you know what little Gilbert’s nickname is? Known as Little Hitchcock, this is not a derogatory term, but a compliment.

We all know that people always like to use the great figures of the past to deny the achievements of the present. But little Gilbert is one of the few who has escaped such disapproval and received praise.

For such a super director who is recognized all over the United States and even the world, all he needs is a few awards, and the box office accumulation is not enough.

If he attempts to adapt a movie, is there any possibility of failure?

Noel wasn't sure, but he didn't want to believe it.

Compared to Noel's hesitation and doubt, Bacher Lutz and Evans had no scruples.

At the end of the trailer, Bachel Lutz and Evans looked at the TV with great anticipation, looking forward to the announcement of the release date of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."

"Give me a date, please, hurry up, hurry up..." The two held hands excitedly and watched the TV expectantly.

Finally, the release date has been announced, which is July 6th. Bacher Lutz and Evans cheered and hugged to celebrate this wonderful moment.

In July, they will be able to see the much-anticipated movie.

Not to mention Bacher Lutz and Evans, even Little Gilbert fans who are not very fond of this type of subject were intrigued by the trailer.

But unfortunately, we can’t see this movie yet, it won’t be until July.

This is different from the past. In the past, Gilbert's films, except for "Chicago", were all released starting in May.

This shows that the production schedule of "Lord of the Rings" is indeed very tight, otherwise it would not have been delayed until July.

After the release date was released, there was a scene at the end, with a golden ring falling under a cliff, accompanied by narration.

"Some things that should not be forgotten turned into dust, history became legends, legends spread into myths, and the Lord of the Rings has been waiting quietly..."

A female voice sang softly in the background, seemingly absent.

Noel couldn't hear it clearly, but it seemed to be sung in Elvish language, and it sounded very beautiful.

Noel was stunned for a while, and the other summer blockbuster trailers that were played later were all boring in his eyes.

After Lord of the Rings, who wants to watch anything else? I just want to see the movie "Lord of the Rings".

Noel didn't admit that he was conquered by the trailer. He wanted to see more content. Noel thought it was criticism.

In fact, not only Noel is a fan of "Lord of the Rings", but many fans of "Lord of the Rings" have seen the trailer of the movie.

From disdain at the beginning to wide-eyed disbelief at the end, many book fans' expressions changed quite a lot.

The scene shown in the trailer is ten times, a hundred times grander than the fantasy scenes of many book fans. Did little Gilbert really create a Middle-earth world?
Many fans began to wonder whether their protests were correct. Is the film really as good as the trailer?
After that, there was a unique Super Bowl halftime show.

This year's halftime show is not a performance by any singer or band, but a catwalk convention.

Nearly a hundred Victoria's Secret angels turned into elves and performed a show for the fans and the audience in front of the TV.

On a stage where men compete against each other like the Super Bowl, hundreds of pairs of elves with long legs and powerful figures suddenly appear. You can imagine the feeling.
