Chapter 317 The horn has sounded, but the story is not over yet.

The lights in the theater went out and the big screen came on.

Hutchinson had already prepared. The popcorn and Coke he bought were not touched at all. He bought these things purely for the sense of ceremony.

If I don’t buy these, I always feel like something is missing when watching a movie.

But he basically didn't move because he didn't want to waste time and just wanted to watch a movie.

The score composed by Howard Shore began to echo in theaters, from the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, to the Custer Cinema in Santa Monica, to the San Carlo Cinema in New York.

Cinemas in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, and countless other cities all played the music of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" at the same moment.

As the title flashed, a beautiful snow-capped mountain scenery appeared, and the filming location was the Kunlun Mountains from China.

At the same time, it was accompanied by Queen Galadriel's narration, and Russell recognized it as soon as he heard it: "This is Queen Galadriel."

Hutchinson asked curiously: "How did you know?"

Seeing this monster tortured by the Lord of the Rings, the audience in the theater screamed in surprise.

Little Gilbert is not a fan of the book "The Lord of the Rings", he is just a fan of the movie "The Lord of the Rings", so in the released version, he simplified some slightly cumbersome scenes.

Those who have read the books know what is going on, but little Gilbert must explain to those movie fans who have not read the books how Gandalf came back.

Little Gilbert's movies usually have a shocking beginning, and this one is no exception. After Queen Galadriel's narration ended, the audience saw the battle between Gandalf and the Balrog.

"So that's it..." Noel stopped worrying about the areas he didn't understand and continued watching the movie.

But Frodo was always accompanied by Sam, and Sam faithfully fulfilled his promise and escorted Frodo all the way here.

And this opening did not disappoint him. The battle between Gandalf and the Balrog at the beginning was extremely exciting. By switching the camera, he was instantly on Frodo and Sam's side.

The camera then focused on Aragorn and Legolas, who had been tracking the orcs.

And at this time, Gollum, who appeared in the last film, finally made his appearance.

The person next to me seemed very knowledgeable: "I heard that optical motion capture technology was used, and Andy Serkis was hired to complete the performance."

The two have been able to see Mount Doom, and Frodo has been under the influence of the Ring.

But on the other hand, just subtraction is not enough. Little Gilbert also did addition, that is, the big scenes and the battle scenes were all deliberately enhanced by him.

Merry and Pippin met the tree people in Fangorn Forest. The expressions of the tree people were so lifelike that they really shocked the audience.

"Uh..." The movie fans on the side were speechless.

But male movie fans don’t have to worry, because Princess Arwen still has a role in the movie, and there are also a lot of fighting scenes!

Then a series of stories happened. The Rohan cavalry encircled and suppressed the orcs, giving the audience some small war scenes first.

Based on the information provided by the Rohan cavalry and the traces they discovered, the three Aragons pursued into Fangorn Forest.

The closer one gets to Mount Doom, the stronger the Ring's influence becomes.

The movie fans on the side raised three questions: "But, man, he is a male elf."

Gandalf and Aragorn immediately decided to rush to the Royal Court of Rohan, only to find that King Théoden of Rohan was controlled by his favorite, and this favorite was sent by Saruman, the white-robed wizard of Isengard. of.

Noel found that compared to the previous one, the narrative pace of this one has been significantly accelerated.

Here is little Gilbert showing the audience a little about the system of gods in "The Lord of the Rings", but he doesn't go into depth. He just explains it a little bit and provides a background understanding.

As for Gollum, in order to get the Lord of the Rings, he pretended to be Frodo's servant.

Michael Bay is no exception. Looking at the Ents and Gollum, he feels that the "Lord of the Rings" series is the ceiling of today's special effects production.

Noel was very curious: "How was this filmed?"

Of course, little Gilbert did not blindly speed up the narrative rhythm of the film. It slows down where it should be slowed down, and tightens the heartstrings where it should increase the rhythm, so that it can be relaxed and relaxed.

Gollum wanted to snatch the Ring, but was overpowered by Frodo and Sam. In the end, Frodo chose to let Gollum go because of his kindness.

Gandalf said that the two hobbits had been rescued, and told the story of how he had risen from the dead.

After fighting the Balrog, he was dying and his soul was floating in the endless void. But he had an unfinished mission and was eventually sent back by the Valar.

"Yeah, what does it matter? This is true love."

As soon as he came in, his impetuous mood disappeared with the music and pictures, and what followed was a patient wait for the film to start.

Just the opening scene alone made Michael Bay feel very deeply. There is no doubt that little Gilbert is a master at mobilizing the audience's emotions.

The line between Frodo and Sam was reduced by Gilbert Gilbert, but several key scenes still showed Frodo's influence on the Lord of the Rings and the complexity of the monster Gollum.

In layman's terms, it means that Nicole Kidman's popularity with the audience has improved.

I heard that director Gilbert Jr. has a special effects studio that has won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects twice. It is a special effects studio that can be compared with Industrial Light and Magic in the digital field in recent years.

Not to mention the female viewers, even the male viewers said: "God, I want to sleep with Legolas."

It must be said that Queen Galadriel did not appear in many scenes in the previous film, but she left a very deep impression on the audience, which to a certain extent changed the public's impression of Nicole Kidman.

The most popular one was the scene of Legolas shooting arrows, which made the female audience excited.

Russell was embarrassed and said: "I like the role played by Nicole Kidman very much. I remember her voice as soon as I heard it."

Up to this moment, the film is basically a three-line narrative, one for Frodo and Sam, one for Aragorn, and one for Merry and Pippin.

The three Aragorns chased into Fangorn Forest, but they met an unexpected person here, that was Gandalf.

At this time Saruman was building an army and felling countless trees, all reaching Fangorn Forest.

His intention was to take control of the kingdom of Rohan, but Gandalf arrived, drove out the shameless favorite, and helped King Théoden restore himself.

So Saruman decided to attack the Kingdom of Rohan first, and tens of thousands of strong orcs marched towards Rohan.

Gandalf got the news and decided to ask for help. Aragorn and Legolas, together with King Théoden, retreated to Helm's Deep to resist the orc army, and the final battle was about to begin.

On the other side, Frodo and Sam followed Gollum and encountered the pursuit of the Nazgul. After several narrow escapes, they finally arrived at the door of Mount Doom.

Although this line was subtracted by Little Gilbert, the necessary plot was still displayed.

Not only did this not offend Noel, a book fan, but I felt that the rhythm of Little Gilbert's narrative was quite well controlled, making the overall film more compact.

The line between Merry and Pippin was the most changed, and the originally lengthy dialogue was condensed into its essence.

The tree man decided not to wade into this muddy water to save himself.

But when the tree men sent Merry and Pippin out, they found that the outside of Fangorn Forest had been cut down by Isengard's orcs, and the tree men were angry.

They lifted up the stones, released the gate, and launched an attack on Isengard. Saruman was also successfully defeated by the tree people in this battle.

The scene where the tree men attack Essinger is so intense and exciting to watch.

Michael Bay also saw many movie fans standing up and watching the movie with clenched fists.

After Essinger was defeated by the tree army, applause burst out spontaneously in the theater, cheering for the victory of this battle. This was a victory for justice and light.

Michael Bay had to admit that when it came to sensationalism, little Gilbert seemed much smarter and more skillful than him.

On the other hand, he blindly forcibly sensationalizes his films and is often criticized by the audience.

Watching "The Two Towers", Michael Bay even had new ideas for his own "Pearl Harbor."

But "Pearl Harbor" is about to be released, and there is no time for Michael Bay to make changes.

The final focus of the film is on the Battle of Helm's Deep.

Little Gilbert made a change here, which was to replace the elf leader who came to support with Yawen. Legolas has so many scenes, and Arwen, the other vase, also needs more screen time.

If nothing else, Anne Hathaway is very happy anyway.

The final battle is about to break out, and King Theoden's monologue adds a tragic color to the battle.

How could a team of several hundred people resist an army of more than 10,000 orcs?
This is a battle of survival, but also a battle of glory. The old, weak, women and children hide in caves, while men bid farewell to their parents, wives and children, take up weapons and walk up the city wall.

Although the half-grown child was frightened in his heart, his hands no longer trembled, and he was holding a rusty iron sword weapon, ready to fight.

At this moment, Aragorn and Legolas, who have lived and died together, will of course live and die with the Kingdom of Rohan.

Before the battle, Aragorn and Arwen met on the city wall, and the two had an affectionate confession and farewell.

Hutchinson and Russell have clenched their fists. Like all the fans in the theater, they can't wait to cross the screen, join Rohan's army, and live and die with Rohan.

The war began, and the orcs' ferocious faces looked terrifying in the cold light of the night. The overwhelming army pressed forward, making Rohan panic.

But the king was fighting on the city wall, and all the Rohan knights seemed to have a backbone. They no longer panicked and stood firmly on the city wall.

They had no escape and no way out.

In the battle scenes, Legolas always gets more scenes because he is the main means of attracting the good-looking movie fans.

But in this battle, he was not alone in being cool, Yawen also joined in.

Like Legolas, Arwen is first of all an excellent archer. At the same time, she is also a master of swordsmanship and is good at harvesting the lives of orcs at close quarters with deft steps.

There are many adaptations here. When filming, the action director designed a set of beautiful movements for Anne Hathaway.

So in the theater, Michael Bay discovered that little Gilbert played the role of the vase to its fullest.

Every time Legolas fired an arrow, the female fans cheered. And every time Yawen used sword skills to attack the enemy, male fans would praise her.

But in the end, because there were too many orcs, Rohan was outnumbered. Finally, Aragorn persuaded King Théoden to rush out of the city gate and make the final charge.

At this time, the camera showed close-ups again and again, the protagonists and the Knights of Rohan knew they were going to die but still looked resolute in their eyes, the old and weak women and children hiding in the cave were afraid to beg, everything was at its most desperate moment.

King Théoden and Aragorn raised their arms and shouted, watching the charge...

There were more than 2,000 moviegoers in the United States who had arrived in advance. No one could sit still at this time. They all stood up and shouted together: "Charge, charge, charge..."

The loud noise even startled the theater staff, who quickly rushed to see what was going on.

The scene in front of them stunned the staff, because all the audience stood, clenched their fists, and looked at the big screen with determined eyes on their faces.

This was a sight that had never been seen before, and the well-informed theater staff were dumbfounded.

At the premiere, all the celebrity guests let go of their reserve. They were moved by the movie, and like the ordinary movie fans in the back row, they stood up and shouted and charged.

Anne Hathaway also stood up, clenching her fists and watching her character Arwen rush out.

She looked at little Gilbert. He also stood up, but he didn't feel any excitement.

Yes, why is little Gilbert excited? This world was shaped by him, he is the creator of the film.

The seemingly desperate charge brought hope. Gandalf finally showed up, and also brought reinforcements from Rohan. Despair turned into hope.

The moment Gandalf appeared, fans in all the cinemas burst into loud cheers, as if they were about to lift the roof of the cinema.

The fans were so excited that they couldn't control their emotions.

This is the charm of a good movie. Those who come to watch the movie early are loyal movie fans and are more likely to be moved by the emotions of the movie.

This grand occasion was perfectly recorded by media reporters.

The Battle of Helm's Deep ended perfectly.

However, the story of "Lord of the Rings" continues...
