Chapter 302: An unsurpassable spectacle in film history

During the premiere of "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" in full swing, thousands of "Lord of the Rings" fans were sitting in protest in front of the Chinese Grand Theater.

However, the people around and the media reporters just took two photos at random and ignored them. This made Russell, who led the protest, very dissatisfied.

Compared to Hutchinson and Noel, Russell was a more radical person and suggested passionate protest methods.

He originally planned to lead fans of "Lord of the Rings" directly into the Chinese Theater and destroy the premiere. But those damn lackey policemen were actually guarding the door of the Chinese Grand Theater, preventing them from taking any rash action.

This must be a collusion between little Gilbert and the local police. The world is too dark, Russell thought angrily.

Now, they are using this method of sit-in protest to unite book fans across the United States to protest against the "Lord of the Rings" movie.

Even if it doesn't prevent the movie from being released, it will at least cause the movie to suffer box office losses.

This is Russell's idea, and it is also the idea of ​​many radical book fans.

What Russell didn't expect was that at this time, the two leading North American book fans, Hutchinson and Noel, had completely rebelled and became fans of the "Lord of the Rings" movies.

After a series of foreshadowings, Bilbo traveled and decided to live with the elves, while Frodo inherited Uncle Bilbo's property and became the new owner of the Lord of the Rings.

As the film continues, the main characters appear one by one, including Frodo, Gandalf, Sam, Merry, Pippin and other characters.

In the "Lord of the Rings" novels, Maia is restricted and cannot use high-level magic, and magic requires complicated spells.

This shows that little Gilbert studied the original work very thoroughly and did not make it up.

"There can't be such a beautiful place on earth. Where is this?" some fans asked.

Noel was also very excited. He couldn't bear to look away from the screen, but he still looked slightly in the direction where little Gilbert was sitting, and silently said thank you in his heart.

The pace of the film suddenly accelerated. Gandalf and Frodo agreed to meet at the Prancing Pony Hotel, and he rushed to Isengard to seek help from Saruman, the speaker of the White Council.

Fans still underestimated Arwen in the film. As Arwen took Frodo away, the Ringwraiths began to chase Arwen. It was a wonderful chase scene that was very enjoyable to watch.

"God, if I could marry such a woman, I would die."

So wizards usually have pretty good melee combat capabilities, which is perfectly reflected in the movie and recognized by Noel.

Finally, Yawen ran to the middle of a river, recited a spell, turned water into thousands of troops, and drove away the ring spirits.

The pace of the film is inevitably a bit slow here, but because the opening battle attracted everyone's attention, and the scenery of Shire is really good, the audience is very patient.

Chanting a spell in close combat seems a bit stupid.

So Gandalf and Saruman had a big battle. The fight was very exciting, and both wizards showed superb fighting skills.

On the other side, Gandalf also encountered trouble. As an important force against Sauron, Saruman, who had been confronting Sauron through the crystal ball for a long time, decided to join Sauron.

At this time, the elf princess Arwen played by Anne Hathaway appeared on the stage.

On the way, Frodo was stabbed by the Witch King of Angmar and began to walk towards the world of life and death.

Another fan immediately poured cold water on her: "Don't worry, you can't marry such a beautiful woman who shouldn't exist in this world."

It’s not their fault. As long as you don’t deliberately seek trouble and look at it with a normal mentality, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” can conquer most people.

After Gandalf discovered the Ring, he told Frodo to hide the Ring and went to Gondor to find out the truth.

At the critical moment, Aragorn used fire to drive away the Nazgul.

The Fellowship of the Ring was officially established, and the nine members of the expedition began to travel across mountains and rivers. From here on, the film uses a large number of high-altitude shots to fully demonstrate the beautiful scenery of Middle-earth.

Of course Anne Hathaway heard the comments from many fans behind her, and she felt a little proud. She secretly looked at little Gilbert's profile. All of this was brought about by little Gilbert.

"Wow!" This was not a single sound, but the exclamations of many fans gathered together.

The person next to me seemed to know a little about the filming process of "Lord of the Rings" and gave the answer: "It seems to be in China, and most of the scenery was shot in real life."

In her previous life, Anne Hathaway had a somewhat negative physique. Many viewers in North America didn't really like her. I wonder if her trajectory will change now that she has been cast as the elf princess.

Frodo took his servant Sam with him and set out for the Prancing Pony Inn. During the period, they were chased by the Nazgul, and were joined by Merry and Pippin on the way.

The beautiful scenery of Rivendell has once again aroused the amazement of movie fans. It is so beautiful here, several levels more beautiful than the Hobbit town of Shire.

Four hobbits formed a team and headed to the Prancing Pony Inn, but the Nazgul continued to pursue them.

Noel was fascinated by Rivendell. He even heard a movie fan next to him say: "I want to live here, I want to settle here."

As soon as she appeared on the stage, everyone present looked at her. This elf princess was really beautiful. There will be no such beautiful woman in the world, she will only exist in Middle-earth.

When Gandalf galloped on the plains, a majestic city built on the mountain with an overall white appearance appeared on the broad screen.

"Oh my god, China? It sounds so far away. I must go there once."

Gandalf checked the information in Gondor and rushed back to burn the ring with fire to confirm that it was the Lord of the Rings.

Noel was a little angry at first when he heard that Gilbert Jr. would film this scene like a magic firework show. But now it seems that little Gilbert completely followed the settings of the "Lord of the Rings" novels.

Thank you, Little Gilbert, for giving these poor "Lord of the Rings" fans endless scenes, even though the film doesn't start very long, and the whole world of Middle-earth seems to be within reach.

Frodo came to Rivendell and was treated by King Elrond and recovered.

Frodo and his party did not wait for Gandalf, but met a ranger named Aragorn. The Nazgul are chasing after them, and Aragorn helps the four hobbits escape and escape to Rivendell.

Hutchinson shook Noel's arm excitedly and said: "Oh my God, Noel, did you see it? This is Minas Tirith, he did it, he really did it."

Anyone who is familiar with this place will definitely tell this movie fan that this is Jiuzhaigou, so don’t look for the wrong place. But it is a pity that the beautiful scenery of Jiuzhaigou is still unknown in this era.

Another fan disagreed and pointed out: "The one sitting next to little Gilbert is the elf princess, maybe her name is Anne Hathaway?"

As insiders spread the word, more people came to know that these beautiful scenery were all taken in real life, and they were in China.

Xu Qing sat in the back row. She attended the premiere and listened to the heated discussions among the fans around her. Although she couldn't understand it because he spoke too fast, she could still hear clearly the repeated mention of China.

So it probably means that they know that these scenery were all taken in China.

Now that she knows it and judging from the reaction on the scene, she is probably interested. Xu Qing feels that the opportunity has come. There must be many foreigners who will travel because of the movie, which is a good thing.

Little Gilbert is not a real-shooting fanatic, and he is not stingy when it comes to using special effects. For example, the King's Hall in the Mines of Moria and the Balrog are concentrated expressions of special effects technology. In the mines of Moria, the Fellowship of the Ring suffered heavy losses. In order to protect everyone, Gandalf fell into the depths of the mines with the Balrog, and his life or death was unknown...

In the mines of Moria, Legolas replaced Arwen and assumed the role of the vase. Looking at the reactions of the female fans in the back row, you can tell how charming this elf prince is.

Every time he drew his bow and drew an arrow, the female fans in the back row would scream and cheer, which was very exaggerated.

This is also a magic weapon to attract movie fans. Female movie fans with normal aesthetics will not reject an elf prince, just like male movie fans cannot resist an elf princess.

After the battle in the mines of Moria, two-thirds of the film has passed and two hours have passed.

Usually the movie should be over by now, but "The Lord of the Rings" is still not over, and the audience doesn't feel it's too long, but feels it's not enough, and it would be better to keep playing it forever.

Following the whispering female voice, the Fellowship of the Ring came to the Golden Forest and met the rumored Queen Galadriel.

Queen Galadriel, played by Nicole Kidman, attracted the attention of the audience as soon as she appeared. Her beauty, which was different from Arwen, shocked the audience.

If nothing else, Nicole Kidman’s appearance and temperament are very suitable for Queen Galadriel.

It's hard to say who is better between her and the original Cate Blanchett, but in terms of beauty, Nicole Kidman definitely wins.

Tom Cruise looked at the big screen and his eyes were straight. He couldn't believe that this was his wife. Little Gilbert captured the most beautiful side of Nicole Kidman.

"Mary, you are so beautiful! So beautiful!" Tom Cruise expressed his amazement.

Nicole Kidman rolled her eyes at Tom Cruise and whispered in Tom Cruise's ear: "I stole the Fairy Queen's costume back and will show it to you when I have time."

Tom Cruise's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he began to look forward to it.

The Fellowship of the Ring, blessed by Queen Galadriel, sets out again, but Frodo is reminded by Queen Galadriel that if he wants to destroy the Ring, he needs to set out alone.

Seeing this, Hutchinson said to Noel: "Noel, you are right, this film is excellent. Little Gilbert has done a good job in completing one, no, one-third of an epic masterpiece."

The reason why it is a third part is because there are two more parts to come. The three parts in one are a complete epic movie.

Noel also nodded and said: "Yes, from now on, I will not only be a fan of the book "The Lord of the Rings", but also a fan of the movie."

Both of them decided to disband the protest after returning and mobilize book fans to support the movie. It would be a shame not to let book fans see such a wonderful movie.

Although for the overall atmosphere and narrative rhythm of the film, Gilbert Jr. made many adaptations of "The Lord of the Rings".

But Noel didn't think these adaptations were wrong. Instead, they made the film completely beyond their imagination and became more exciting.

Sure enough, the saying on the Internet is right. In this world, only little Gilbert can successfully adapt the "Lord of the Rings" movie.

At the end of the film, internal worries within the Fellowship of the Ring erupted.

Following the escort of Boromir, the knights of Gondor wanted to protect Gondor and snatched the Ring from Frodo's neck, but Frodo escaped.

Frodo finally decided to go on the road alone, but his loyal servant Sam followed Frodo, and the two hobbits headed towards Mount Doom.

Boromir, on the other hand, fell into the siege of the strong orcs, fought bravely, and was eventually shot down by random arrows.

For this character, enough characterization has been done before. He snatched the Lord of the Rings not because of ambition, but simply because he wanted to protect Gondor.

So the audience has mixed feelings about him. He destroyed the Fellowship of the Ring, but he also covered Frodo's escape and fought alone.

Aragorn arrived and defeated the Orcs at the last moment.

Looking at the dying Boromir, the ranger Aragorn finally made a promise, promising that he would return to Gondor and protect the people of Gondor.

"Rest in peace, son of Gondor." The film uses Aragorn's mouth to recognize this complex character.

This character is played by Sean Bean. He couldn't help wiping his tears at this time and was a little moved.

When filming, he completely integrated into the character. Looking back now, he still feels like he is Boromir.

The audience in the theater was also a little moved. There are many sensational aspects in this movie, such as Gandalf's sacrifice in the mines of Moria.

However, the audience did not feel that the director was overly sensationalistic at all, and instead became immersed in the plot.

Little Gilbert completely mobilized the audience's emotions and fully grasped the audience's psychology, allowing them to follow the ups and downs of the movie.

Noel's eyes were completely wet. He was very moved. Although Boromir's changes were quite large and deviated from the original work, he felt that the adaptation here was very good.

The same goes for Hutchinson, who was wiping away tears quietly at this time, not wanting anyone to see his embarrassment.

Ridley Scott sat in his seat and thought more.

He sighed and couldn't help but admire little Gilbert.

Even though little Gilbert is only thirty years old this year, he has done an impeccable job in the film's narrative rhythm, emotional mobilization, and atmosphere.

Ridley Scott asked himself if he would direct the "Lord of the Rings" series, he must not be as good as Gilbert Jr.

Judging from the level of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", little Gilbert is already on his way to becoming a film master.

Other ordinary movie fans don't have so many thoughts, they just follow the plot and be done with it.

At the end of the film, Frodo and Sam set off on their way to Mount Doom, where Merry and Pippin were kidnapped by Isengard's orcs.

Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli tracked the orcs and rescued Merry and Pippin. The film ends here.

Although the Fellowship of the Ring has been disbanded, the journey to Middle-earth has just begun.

When the final subtitles of the film appeared, before Little Gilbert led the main creators on stage for the curtain call, some fans shouted: ""The Two Towers"..."

There were only one or two at first, but within seconds, voices shouting "The Two Towers" filled the auditorium.

Not to mention ordinary movie fans, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and even Tom Cruise came to join in the fun. Many celebrity guests stood up and shouted:

""The Two Towers"..."

The media reporters present at the premiere were also conquered by the movie. Many reporters seized the opportunity to record the scene, and many more shouted together, calling for a sequel.

This scene has become a spectacle that has never appeared in the history of film...
