Birth of an actor
Chapter 226 Make up for the old days
Later, William wondered if if he hadn't found that photo, would they have chosen to keep things as they were forever, or if, one day, someone would have had the chance to take the courage... no, definitely the former , will only be the former.
Yes, just a few months ago, Lance confessed to William that he was gay, but how dare William dare to be so narcissistic that he must love him?
They are too important to each other, so important that if they are not sure about each other's feelings, they will never take the initiative.
And if they hide all their emotions firmly like wearing armor, how can they find the important time to take that step?
So it's an endless loop.
But now it's different, and the photos change everything.
William couldn't deny that at the moment when he saw the photos clearly and connected the events together, after the great shock and embarrassment, there was ecstasy that followed.
He didn't thank God, he thanked Kim Cosey.
Even if Jin Kexi left three bloodstains on his arm because he was hugged too hard, he didn't complain.
"Love you, Kim Cosey." He pressed his nose against the back of the Himalayan cat, Purring, and took a deep breath.
……
The red dot flickered on and off in the darkness, it was a cigarette that William had just lit.
He hasn't smoked in a while, but now his brain needs a little nicotine boost.
In the short time that the cigarette burned, like the fire, some idea burned and sizzled under his skin.
It wasn't until the soot accumulated an inch that William put out the fire, then he took a deep breath, raised his finger and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Following the sound of invitation, William pushed open the door, and Lance, who was reading a book in a silk dressing gown and black-rimmed glasses, bumped into his line of sight.
William wasn't to blame for his heart beating too fast.
Admittedly, Lance is not the most popular handsome young man in the American mind in the traditional sense. He may appear on People's most beautiful faces list, but he will not appear in GQ and Attitude. On the most sexy or super attractive list, because he is too thin, his thighs may not be as thick as Schwarzenegger's arms, his skin is too pale, his posture is too arrogant, even the orthodox blue-eyed blond hair, in the eyes of some Americans All too creamy.
But anyone who thinks Lance Roderick lacks exercise and sunshine has never seen black-framed glasses on his blond hair, or had the pleasure of peacock-blue silk dressing gown against his pale skin .
"Will, is everything okay?" Lance closed the book, looked over it suspiciously, and recalled William's absent-mindedness.
William walked over suddenly, took off the black-rimmed glasses from Lance's face, looked at the eyes that could reflect the sky and the ocean, and said, "Hey, promise not to hit me."
Lance was even more puzzled.
And William was sure that Lance would not beat him no matter what, so he stretched out his hand to hold Lance's head firmly, preventing him from messing around and messing up everything, and then gently pressed his lips together.
He hoped it wasn't such a bad idea.
At first they were both motionless, only inches between their chests, almost feeling the heat radiating from each other, and the frantic beating of their hearts.William was dizzy for a moment, until he felt more than one heart beating heavily in his chest, and calmness regained his brain, relieving the panic and tension in his chest.
He lightly licked Lance's lips, poked the tip of his tongue in, kissed very intently, and could smell the cologne left in Lance's hair while breathing.
Lance's lips were full and slightly upturned, tasting like champagne, soft and warm.He suddenly found that Lance's thin shoulders were unexpectedly strong, and his arms were also very powerful. This kiss was indeed very different from the ones he had before, but it was even cooler.
William used a bit of his teeth, used all the tricks he knew, and when Lance put his arms around him, his head in his other hand, and began to respond, he knew he had won.
The symptoms of overbreathing began to appear, or the reason that was flying out of the sky suddenly returned, Lance supported William's chest with both hands, and pushed him away with a little force: "No, listen, this is not a good idea -"
"You don't want to?" William stopped immediately and said as if hurt.But he immediately noticed that Lance's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he showed a triumphant smile: "Oh, you are duplicity."
"Damn it, Will, next thing you have to explain are you on drugs or drunk?" Lance's dressing gown was a little loose, and more than half of his collarbone was exposed, but fortunately he only cared about the cause of the accidental kiss, completely Didn't notice this, or he would be even more embarrassed. "Today is not April Fool's Day, Halloween is over, you better have a good reason."
"I don't know if this is a good reason, but there are a few words, I don't know why I never said them." William looked at the redness on Lance's neck that hadn't faded, and unconsciously said softly: "You know Yes, I like girls, but life doesn’t always have to be one of the two.”
Lance's reaction was not so much shock, but anger: "So? If you want to try kissing a man on me, I'll throw the book in your face."
The thickness of the book made William wince, and he spread his arms and said, "Lance, I only kissed you because I thought you wanted it too—at least a little bit."
Lance got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom, adjusted his dressing gown in the mirror, picked up the mouthwash and began to rinse his mouth.
William followed him into the bathroom and suffered a huge blow after seeing this scene: "You actually rinse your mouth? You despise me?!"
"Of course I have to rinse my mouth, you damn smell of smoke in your mouth." After spitting out the mouthwash, Lance looked at William in the mirror.
William reaches over Lance's body, picks up his mouthwash and starts using it, making an annoying gurgling noise.
Lance didn't leave, just stood aside, which made it easier for William to rest his head on Lance's shoulder after cleaning himself. "We smell the same now," he said, rubbing his nose against Lance's neck.
Lance didn't speak, but his neck began to be stained red again, and a layer of tiny bumps appeared where William's snort swept.
"I found a photo hidden in the middle of the frame." William whispered next to Lance's neck, and then locked him with his arms to keep him from moving. "Hey, Lance, just—listen to me." That's why William kissed Lance first before confessing to him, why he wanted to be the one to take that step first, because Lance's face He is so thin that he easily becomes angry from embarrassment - although he can't tell this from his reserved and indifferent face, who do you think William borrowed part of his character from when he played Malfoy? ——If Lance's little secret is directly revealed to him, there is a nine out of ten possibility that he will run away, and will not communicate with William until he is sulked enough.
"I want to make up for the past." William looked up, met Lance's gaze in the photo, and continued: "Not only the silly 'I love you but I won't say it' years, but also earlier. I want to make up for those times when we had throbbing for a long time, but we deceived ourselves that we were not interested in each other, those times because I was too stupid, I obviously felt different but didn't directly push you against the wall to kiss you..." He Buried in Lance's neck, took a deep breath, "God, Lance—"
Lance's eyes locked tightly on William's in the mirror, and a cautious hope appeared in his eyes, as if William's poor confession finally made him understand something.
Then he turned back, ran his fingers through William's hair, and kissed him eagerly, deeply.When the warm and soft lips met and tasted the light mint flavor in each other's mouth, Lance closed his eyes because of the joy and satisfaction that swept his whole body - although his heart was still aching, thinking of what they missed , How long have you missed it?William himself was not the only one who was stupid, and he didn't let it go too far.
"We'll talk about this in the future, who made the most stupid earlier, and how to make up for it." Lance said against William's lips: "But now I don't want to talk..." He caught William and slipped into the room at some point. His hand inside the dressing gown, "I don't think you want to either."
William took off the strap of Lance's dressing gown, and laughed without guilt.
Lance bit William's lip in retaliation - lightly, of course - then grabbed the fabric at his neckline with one hand and began pulling him toward the bedroom.
They walked close together, which was of course inconvenient, so that in the process of stumbling, Lance's dressing gown and William's shirt were thrown out of nowhere.
There was no way out behind Lance, and William gently pushed Lance's shoulders to lie on the bed. For a moment, he just stood, looking down at him.With a new, totally different look.Then he slowly and firmly pulled out his belt.
Lance leaned lazily on a pillow. When William's clothes became almost as big as him, he leaned over and grabbed his wrist and pulled William back onto the bed. The two bodies collided, and they immediately Laughing loudly, pushing each other while laughing, playing around for a while, finally the lips were pressed together tightly, and there was no gap between the naked skin.
"I really didn't think of this when I came over tonight. Make sure you know." After a gentle nibble between lips, teeth and tongue, William and Lance put their foreheads together, smiled and said, "I haven't had sex with the same sex yet. Too much love."
"Two beginners, huh?" Lance turned his head and glanced at the bedside table, and said, "Fortunately, I'm not completely unprepared."
William reached over and opened the drawer, "Wow." He stared at Lance in disbelief, then pulled out a box of condoms and a bottle of lube, not too surprised to find that they were brand new and untouched. Kaifeng.
William's eyes patrolled Lance's skin, and he made a final cautious question: "Are you sure you want to continue?" Perhaps due to the backlight, his eyes were almost black.
"I've never been more sure than now." Lance's eyes had long been dark blue. He stretched out his feet and hooked William down, causing their waists and hips to touch each other again, twisting and rubbing, and then took the lubricant from William's hands. Oil bottle, open the lid with a "click".
……
If there is any movie that is most anticipated by movie fans in the second half of 2002, it must be "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers".
Even if it is the most popular and most anticipated movie of the year in the global selection, the championship in North America may be taken away by "Spider-Man", but overseas, especially in Europe, the popularity of the "Lord of the Rings" series is definitely far beyond Spiderman.
It can be seen from the sales of those popular movie peripherals. As early as during the preparation period, Willot and Weta Studios had their eyes on the big cake of movie peripherals. The design strives to be exquisite, and the sales of peripheral products after the film's release also meet or even far exceed expectations.
Since its release one year ago, the DVD and peripheral sales of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Ring" have both ranked among the top three in the year, and because the sequel movie is about to be released recently, peripheral sales have once again ushered in a wave of upsurge—it can be said that this Over the past few years, the profit brought to Willot by the sales of "Lord of the Rings" merchandise has already exceeded the movie's box office profit.
A gift shop on the Hollywood and Highland Center Entertainment Plaza, due to the frequent visits of tourists, has earned more than 30 US dollars in profits from the surroundings of "Lord of the Rings" in the few weeks before Christmas. The most popular is of course The Lord of the Rings and Elf jewellery, such as the Leaf Brooch and the Evening Star Necklace worn by Arwen, and the figure models of Glorfindel played by William and Legolas played by Orlando Bloom are also the highest-selling products of their kind , As for postcards, maps of Middle-earth, etc., it goes without saying.
The boom in sales of peripheral products also reflects the attention of the two sequels of "Lord of the Rings" from the side. After the trailer of "The Two Towers" was released, each shot has already been analyzed thousands of times by the media and movie fans. What "The Lord of the Rings" failed to do was released globally simultaneously, "The Two Towers" did, and The number of premiere theaters in the United States has reached 3652, which is almost 300 more than the first film. Most of the premiere tickets are given away, and a small number of tickets sold have already been sold at sky-high prices.
A few days before Christmas, the North American premiere of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" was held in Los Angeles as scheduled. Elijah Wood caused a commotion on the red carpet, and Orlando Bloom almost caused a riot. With these "models", William deliberately followed Peter Jackson on the red carpet, using him to attract media "cannon fire" ", just smiled and waved in response to all the calls, and then passed quickly on the red carpet.
Although his time on the red carpet was very short, it still caused an unprecedented riot. Several young people standing in the front row wanted to use force to break through the blockade. Fortunately, it was only a year after 911/[-], and the nerves of all aspects of the United States were relatively weak. Tension, the number of police and security personnel deployed at a large-scale event such as a movie premiere is several times that of the past, and their response is also very timely, quickly controlling a few people, only to realize that this is just a movie fan who wants to get close to the idol Contact, rather than people with good intentions taking the opportunity to create chaos.
——God knows why Galadriel, the queen of elves played by Cate Blanchett, is noble and elegant, but not as popular as Glorfindel and Legolas, perhaps as "People" said , movie fans are used to seeing actresses stunning the world with their looks, but it is rare to see male actors with beauty beyond gender on the big screen, so they will chase after them crazily.
Released last year, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has a mythical opening and an intermission-style ending after a small climax: Gandalf the Gray, in order to protect the rest of the Fellowship of the Ring, resolutely fights the Balrog. And both fell into the abyss of Turin, and Boromir, the son of the regent of Gondor played by Sean Bean, was tempted by the Lord of the Rings and tried to snatch the Lord of the Rings from Frodo, and then he woke up and died to protect Meri and Pippin .Frodo, who didn't want the Fellowship of the Ring to split again because of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, decided to leave the team and go to Mordor, where Mount Doom is located, and Sam followed him.The film ends just as Frodo and Sam start their journey towards the rocky city after looking out over Mordor from the top of the hill.
It stands to reason that "The Two Towers" continues "The Lord of the Rings", and the story of Frodo and Sam's adventure continues the most smoothly, but that is too boring. If a three-hour movie does not have a wonderful opening, the audience will be disappointed. It's hard to have the interest to insist on watching the whole game.
So how does The Two Towers start?Some people suggested that Glorfindel should replace Galadriel's role, like at the beginning of the first book, using a behind-the-scenes recitation to describe the complex historical background of Middle-earth, because Glorfindel actually and Galadriel It is an elf of the same period, and it is very popular among book fans and movie fans. In this movie, there is still a highlight in the Helm's Deep War, and William's sound quality is also very good.
During the post-production, William also went to the studio to dub a recitation, but it seems that Peter Jackson still did not use it in the end-"The Two Towers" used Gandalf to fight with the Balrog, and then successfully killed the flame. The devil acts as the opening scene.
The reason for this choice is also very good. First of all, from the information revealed in the original book and the previous trailer, it is an indisputable fact that Gandalf will be resurrected in this movie. If the movie is halfway through, the resurrected Gandalf If it pops up suddenly, and then inserts a scene to describe how he defeated the Balrog and advanced to the white-robed wizard, it will appear very abrupt, so it is better to point this foreshadowing at the beginning.Secondly, "The Return of the Lord of the Rings" has already used behind-the-scenes recitations, and it is more fresh to replace the battle scenes in "The Two Towers", and it can also arouse the interest of the audience.
Facts have proved that this is also the case. The audience’s reaction at the premiere is an enhanced version of the audience’s reaction at the test screening. The scene of Gandalf’s fierce battle with the Balrog and the hint that he is about to be resurrected and upgraded made fans who are familiar with the original plot fall into excitement from the beginning , The plot of "The Two Towers" is indeed more exciting than "The Lord of the Rings", which is mainly foreshadowing. Coupled with the spectacular natural scenery and spectacular special effects scenes, there was almost no conversation at the premiere in Los Angeles. Some people are seriously enjoying the movie.
Of course, these people may not include some film creators, such as William, because he participated in the post-production of the film, he has watched these scenes countless times—he was also dragged by Peter Jackson to watch them for six or seven times. The unedited version of [-] hour, and the director's cut version of more than [-] hours. At that time, at least five or six people in a room fell asleep-so William is seriously distracted now, thinking about the release of "The Return of the King" next year Adaptations of other works by Tolkien.For example, "The Hobbit" and "The Silmarillion". Now that Willot has had a successful experience and made Middle-earth a brand, he might as well continue to do it.
Fortunately, "The Hobbit" is relatively scattered, and part of it is in the hands of MGM, but the "Lord of the Rings" series is so popular, and MGM, which has been in poor financial conditions all year round, can't wait to reach a cooperation with Willot. The two parties have now entered the stage of bargaining on whether to buy out or pay dividends, and what the dividend ratio is.
But if you want to adapt "The Silmarillion" into a movie, the difficulty may be several times or ten times that of "The Hobbit", and it will even be a process of perennial resistance.
There are many reasons. For example, "The Lord of the Rings" is still a story with a main line. "The Silmarillion" is the chronicle of Middle-earth. screen.Another example is the chapters in "The Silmarillion", the war between the favor of the gods and the demigods. With the current level of special effects, I am afraid that I don't know how to express it in the first part of "Ainu's Grand Music". Language, structure, costumes, props and even actors in the movie.
Of course, the most critical factor is copyright. J. R. R. Tolkien himself is actually very happy to see his works being filmed, otherwise he would not have sold the adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" at a low price during his lifetime, but " The Silmarillion was compiled and published by his son Christopher Tolkien after Tolkien's death, and the copyright is naturally still in Christopher's hands.
It is unrealistic to spend money on copyright. "The Hobbit" is Christopher Tolkien's bedtime story when he was a child. The love story between Lucien and Beren in "The Silmarillion" is a reflection of his parents' marriage——Ivy Among all the children of Luvita, the most beautiful daughter of heaven, Lucian, fell in love with the mortal Beren. After going through twists and turns, Lucian chose to give up the immortality of the elves and become a human to spend the rest of her life with Beren. Central Asia in "The Lord of the Rings" The love story between Wen and Aragorn is similar to that of Lucian and Beren, and Arwen is indeed a descendant of Lucian.In fact, these beautiful and moving love stories are more or less the shadow of Tolkien and his wife Edith. Tolkien regards his wife as his Lucien. After the two died, under their names on their tombstones , and also engraved the names of Beren and Lucien—and adding that "The Silmarillion" was finally compiled and published by him, it can be said that Christopher is the person with the deepest affection for Middle-earth in the world. I want to learn from him To get the copyright in hand, money is not the key factor, the most important thing is to gain his trust and affirmation, to make him believe that Willot will not mess up the movie.
Willot wasn't the first studio to approach Christopher Tolkien, and it won't be the last. The two sides sat together and talked about "The Lord of the Rings" before it was released. At that time, Christopher Tolkien refused very much, claiming that no matter how much money he would sell "The Silmarillion".Now, perhaps influenced by "The Return of the Lord of the Rings", Christopher Tolkien's attitude has softened a bit, and he is even willing to sit down and talk about the "Children of Hurin" he is finishing.
Being willing to sit down and chat doesn't mean you're willing to sell the rights now, but Christopher Tolkien agreed if Willlott's future adaptations of Tolkien's works didn't disappoint him - and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed Becoming a special advisor to the future The Hobbit crew - if he feels out of shape in a few years (he is 78 years old this year) and wants to find a worthy entrusted film company for "The Silmarillion" before he dies , then Willot would be the first partner he considered.
And William believes that as long as the copyright can be obtained, and as long as film technology continues to develop, then any film adaptation will not be difficult for Hollywood.Even if it was The Silmarillion.
……
The climax of "Two Towers" is the Battle of Helm's Deep, and this battle took almost two hours to lay the groundwork.
Unlike "The Lord of the Rings", "Two Towers" uses a multi-line narrative-after Boromir's death, the Fellowship of the Ring fell into a state of fragmentation and separation, and the journey of each squad is a main line.Frodo and Sam met Gollum on the way to Mordor and asked him to lead them into Mordor; Meri and Pippin were kidnapped by the Orcs, but they escaped luckily and met the Treants; Golas and Jinpili reconciled with the revived white-robed wizard Gandalf, and the four entered the Kingdom of Rohan, and together with the people of Rohan, encountered Saruman's conspiracy.
The three teams struggled on their own journeys, each with their own tribulations and adventures. They did not meet each other, but their fates were closely related to each other, and they jointly promoted the development of the plot. In addition to the three main plots, there were also some fragmented sub-plots.
The main line plus the branch line, not only the story is very full and substantial, but the movie also keeps going through various story details to create a tense atmosphere before the war, so although more than 100 minutes have been prepared for a big war, it does not make people feel boring. Boring, and few audiences in the cinema were drowsy, but the more they saw the back, the more refreshed they were.
Halfway through the movie, the kingdom of Rohan was frequently attacked by orcs. King Theoden led his people to retreat to Helm's Deep, but Aragorn, who fell off the cliff and survived miraculously, brought Saruman to try to use strong orcs to attack him. News of the orcish army's conquest of Rohan.
This news made everyone feel desperate, even the always optimistic Legolas.
King Theoden looks confident, but his monologue reveals the most pessimistic emotions in his heart.
Theoden was convinced that he was alone, and that no one would come to Rohan's aid, not elves, nor dwarves, nor Gondorians.
In the Holy Helm's Deep, women and children hid in caves, and the old, weak, sick and disabled scrambled to pick up swords.
The Kingdom of Rohan mobilized all possible forces to resist an army of [-] orcs with [-] troops.
This is almost a losing battle, even the elves think so.
In Lothlorien, the elves such as Galadriel, Glorfindel, Elrond, and Celeborn are worried about the future fate of Middle-earth and mankind.
"The age of the elves is over," Glorfindel predicted.
Elrond looked solemn and remained silent.
Galadriel asked if they were going to see Middle-earth fall, leaving the humans to fight alone while the elves stood by.
Following Galadriel's words, Elrond and Glorfindel looked at each other, lost in thought.
Helm's Deep is still in formation. This scene happened in the dark night. The king who was shrouded in the helplessness of fate, the children who took up arms to participate in the battle, the orc army ready to go, and the armor decided to stay in Helm's Deep Aragorn, Legolas, and Golden Thunder who fought together with the Rohans, with emotional scenes coupled with tragic and majestic music, everyone felt the desperate atmosphere before the war in the movie.
Even the movie theater is filled with an atmosphere that can hardly sit still. The audience is worried and nervous. They can't wait to see the next scene, but they are afraid that the Kingdom of Rohan has no chance of winning. The upcoming war scene Too tragic.
At the same time, because of the elves who just appeared, they still have a glimmer of hope-the elves won't really stand by, right? ——Just like the night in the movie at this time, the darker the night, the more it means that the dawn is coming soon.
At this moment, the trumpet sounded, and Halda led the reinforcements of Rosslorian and Rivendell to fight side by side with humans!
In the movie, the people of Rohan finally saw a bright hope. Outside the screen, too many viewers were completely immersed in the emotions created by the movie, and the soundtrack exclusively for elves aroused goose bumps all over their bodies.
And those who know some of the original works are even more moved - in Tolkien's works, elves are immortal, and only swords, arrows and sadness can kill elves.Just like Arwen chose to fall in love with Aragorn, why didn't she also choose the fate of dying in pain after Aragorn's death.The elves headed by Halda came to Helm's Deep to fight with humans. From another perspective, they were also ready to die in battle.For the elves, this is truly an unprecedented sacrifice.
This moved emotion even spread to Orlando Bloom.
This is actually incredible, because Orlando Bloom didn't feel anything when filming this scene, but now, he was almost infected by the people around him and wiped his eye sockets together!
When Halda died in battle, an Elvish lament rang out in the movie. The scene of Halda's death was played back in slow motion, and the sound of sobbing began to appear in a large area in the auditorium.
This scene was adapted very well. The death of the elves with eternal life on the battlefield exaggerated the tragedy and tragedy of the war. Orlando Bloom rubbed his sore nose and couldn't help thinking, if they hadn't filmed like this at the beginning , and if it is replaced by the other two versions, what kind of picture will be presented in the movie at this time?
——In the original book, there were no elves involved in the Battle of Helm's Deep.As early as when writing the script, the screenwriters decided to let the elves go to Helm's Deep. This is a must-shoot scene, but they haven't decided which elves will participate.Even while shooting, the director, screenwriter, and actors have been arguing about this issue.
Glorfindel is one of the few characters that everyone thought was going to be a big hit before the movie even started filming (and it was), so at first they wanted Glorfindel to be in the big fight, and in the war Play an important role as a means to attract movie fans.But it was rejected by William during the discussion. Let’s not say that this is too different from the original book. Secondly, Glorfindel’s combat power is equivalent to that of Maia. If he is to participate in the Helm’s Deep War, he will play a similar role to Gandalf. That's reasonable, but the tragic atmosphere when the Halda Elf team died in battle would be greatly weakened.
Then they tried to transform Arwen into a female warrior, have her appear in Helm's Deep, help tend to the wounded, or simply fight with Aragorn.She also arranged two important scenes for her. The first scene is that Aragorn and Jinpeng are about to fall off the city wall, and Arwen throws down the rope in time to pull them up, and when Halda is injured, Aragorn turns to rescue him. , It was originally arranged to save Arwen.
Thinking about Orlando Bloom on his knees also knows that the second must be a bad idea-in order to aggravate the love scene between Arwen and Aragorn, let them have sex on the battlefield?It’s also thanks to the screenwriters who came up with it-but Liv Tyler is different from Miranda Otto (played by Eowyn), she doesn’t have the aura of a female warrior, in fact, even she herself doesn’t like this idea, Coupled with the fact that the powerful Tolkien Global Book Fans Association somehow obtained information and raised strong protests against this subversion of the original work, this idea can only be dropped.
At that time, half of Liv Tyler's battle scenes were filmed, and they had to delete all of her scenes in post-production, and Orlando Bloom replaced the key scenes. For this reason, he flew to New Zealand twice to reshoot the scenes. .
Orlando Bloom envied every time he thought of it.Yes, envy.Liv Tyler hopes that Arwen is a more spiritual character, and doesn’t want to become a female warrior like Eowyn, but she has to shoot as written in the script, even if the filming is stopped halfway, the previous energy preparations are exhausted. She did useless work, and no one said sorry to her. As for Orlando Bloom, because of the change of the script, he had to drop all the work at hand and fly to New Zealand to reshoot the shots.But William Bradley changed the script with only one sentence. Which actor does not envy this kind of voice and influence.
Thinking of this, Orlando Bloom couldn't help but look towards the front row again. William Bradley's seat was next to Peter Jackson, which was also the most central position in the cinema.
But... Orlando Bloom blinked, and the seat next to Peter Jackson was empty?
After waiting for a few minutes, he looked over again and finally determined that William Bradley had slipped away early.
Orlando Bloom's buttocks twitched a few times in his seat uneasily. The movie was almost over. When he thought of the interview meeting after the end, he wanted to slip out of here like William Bradley The impulse to drop.
When filming "The Lord of the Rings", he was a student who had just graduated and knew nothing. Of course, he was not famous at all. After "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was released, he became popular overnight and became the world's most famous Rookie actors who are attracting attention!
It’s good to have attention, no actor doesn’t like attention, fame means that life suddenly becomes easy, and everything you want can be obtained at your fingertips.But wherever he goes, he will be recognized by people, followed by paparazzi, and secretly photographed by fans... Orlando Bloom was frightened without any mental preparation. Until now, he has been a bit maladaptive, the side effect of overnight fame Too many, and he's still trying to get over being overly nervous answering reporters' questions and not knowing what to do when fans are chanting I love you.
To be honest, Orlando Bloom originally wanted to wait for the premiere to continue to ask William for advice on how to maintain a normal life rhythm without being disrupted while surrounded by reporters and fans on 7/24. William is already a superstar In the movie, Glorfindel, who has beautiful and dazzling slightly curly blond hair, eyes as bright as jewels, and an impossibly beautiful face, is more obsessed with movie fans than Legolas. Candid photos of fan sites, but William looked glamorous tonight, obviously he has already been as good at avoiding the camera as 007, and has not been disturbed by the media.
Before the premiere, William had already taught Orlando some tricks, such as having multiple unfixed residences, never living in just one of them, and not playing the game of disappearing. Public relations regularly released general trends through the cooperative media, and then From time to time, he releases some false news about his whereabouts. Orlando can’t learn from buying a lot of properties (it’s acceptable if he only rents them), but his public relations can learn from the last two tricks.
And this trick of flashing people directly at the premiere is obviously one of William's means of avoiding the media-Orlando Bloom wants to go with him, but he can't, he can't be so chic.
Because his agent once tried to persuade him: "A paparazzi cannot do without a star, and a star cannot do without a dog."
Yes, just a few months ago, Lance confessed to William that he was gay, but how dare William dare to be so narcissistic that he must love him?
They are too important to each other, so important that if they are not sure about each other's feelings, they will never take the initiative.
And if they hide all their emotions firmly like wearing armor, how can they find the important time to take that step?
So it's an endless loop.
But now it's different, and the photos change everything.
William couldn't deny that at the moment when he saw the photos clearly and connected the events together, after the great shock and embarrassment, there was ecstasy that followed.
He didn't thank God, he thanked Kim Cosey.
Even if Jin Kexi left three bloodstains on his arm because he was hugged too hard, he didn't complain.
"Love you, Kim Cosey." He pressed his nose against the back of the Himalayan cat, Purring, and took a deep breath.
……
The red dot flickered on and off in the darkness, it was a cigarette that William had just lit.
He hasn't smoked in a while, but now his brain needs a little nicotine boost.
In the short time that the cigarette burned, like the fire, some idea burned and sizzled under his skin.
It wasn't until the soot accumulated an inch that William put out the fire, then he took a deep breath, raised his finger and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Following the sound of invitation, William pushed open the door, and Lance, who was reading a book in a silk dressing gown and black-rimmed glasses, bumped into his line of sight.
William wasn't to blame for his heart beating too fast.
Admittedly, Lance is not the most popular handsome young man in the American mind in the traditional sense. He may appear on People's most beautiful faces list, but he will not appear in GQ and Attitude. On the most sexy or super attractive list, because he is too thin, his thighs may not be as thick as Schwarzenegger's arms, his skin is too pale, his posture is too arrogant, even the orthodox blue-eyed blond hair, in the eyes of some Americans All too creamy.
But anyone who thinks Lance Roderick lacks exercise and sunshine has never seen black-framed glasses on his blond hair, or had the pleasure of peacock-blue silk dressing gown against his pale skin .
"Will, is everything okay?" Lance closed the book, looked over it suspiciously, and recalled William's absent-mindedness.
William walked over suddenly, took off the black-rimmed glasses from Lance's face, looked at the eyes that could reflect the sky and the ocean, and said, "Hey, promise not to hit me."
Lance was even more puzzled.
And William was sure that Lance would not beat him no matter what, so he stretched out his hand to hold Lance's head firmly, preventing him from messing around and messing up everything, and then gently pressed his lips together.
He hoped it wasn't such a bad idea.
At first they were both motionless, only inches between their chests, almost feeling the heat radiating from each other, and the frantic beating of their hearts.William was dizzy for a moment, until he felt more than one heart beating heavily in his chest, and calmness regained his brain, relieving the panic and tension in his chest.
He lightly licked Lance's lips, poked the tip of his tongue in, kissed very intently, and could smell the cologne left in Lance's hair while breathing.
Lance's lips were full and slightly upturned, tasting like champagne, soft and warm.He suddenly found that Lance's thin shoulders were unexpectedly strong, and his arms were also very powerful. This kiss was indeed very different from the ones he had before, but it was even cooler.
William used a bit of his teeth, used all the tricks he knew, and when Lance put his arms around him, his head in his other hand, and began to respond, he knew he had won.
The symptoms of overbreathing began to appear, or the reason that was flying out of the sky suddenly returned, Lance supported William's chest with both hands, and pushed him away with a little force: "No, listen, this is not a good idea -"
"You don't want to?" William stopped immediately and said as if hurt.But he immediately noticed that Lance's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he showed a triumphant smile: "Oh, you are duplicity."
"Damn it, Will, next thing you have to explain are you on drugs or drunk?" Lance's dressing gown was a little loose, and more than half of his collarbone was exposed, but fortunately he only cared about the cause of the accidental kiss, completely Didn't notice this, or he would be even more embarrassed. "Today is not April Fool's Day, Halloween is over, you better have a good reason."
"I don't know if this is a good reason, but there are a few words, I don't know why I never said them." William looked at the redness on Lance's neck that hadn't faded, and unconsciously said softly: "You know Yes, I like girls, but life doesn’t always have to be one of the two.”
Lance's reaction was not so much shock, but anger: "So? If you want to try kissing a man on me, I'll throw the book in your face."
The thickness of the book made William wince, and he spread his arms and said, "Lance, I only kissed you because I thought you wanted it too—at least a little bit."
Lance got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom, adjusted his dressing gown in the mirror, picked up the mouthwash and began to rinse his mouth.
William followed him into the bathroom and suffered a huge blow after seeing this scene: "You actually rinse your mouth? You despise me?!"
"Of course I have to rinse my mouth, you damn smell of smoke in your mouth." After spitting out the mouthwash, Lance looked at William in the mirror.
William reaches over Lance's body, picks up his mouthwash and starts using it, making an annoying gurgling noise.
Lance didn't leave, just stood aside, which made it easier for William to rest his head on Lance's shoulder after cleaning himself. "We smell the same now," he said, rubbing his nose against Lance's neck.
Lance didn't speak, but his neck began to be stained red again, and a layer of tiny bumps appeared where William's snort swept.
"I found a photo hidden in the middle of the frame." William whispered next to Lance's neck, and then locked him with his arms to keep him from moving. "Hey, Lance, just—listen to me." That's why William kissed Lance first before confessing to him, why he wanted to be the one to take that step first, because Lance's face He is so thin that he easily becomes angry from embarrassment - although he can't tell this from his reserved and indifferent face, who do you think William borrowed part of his character from when he played Malfoy? ——If Lance's little secret is directly revealed to him, there is a nine out of ten possibility that he will run away, and will not communicate with William until he is sulked enough.
"I want to make up for the past." William looked up, met Lance's gaze in the photo, and continued: "Not only the silly 'I love you but I won't say it' years, but also earlier. I want to make up for those times when we had throbbing for a long time, but we deceived ourselves that we were not interested in each other, those times because I was too stupid, I obviously felt different but didn't directly push you against the wall to kiss you..." He Buried in Lance's neck, took a deep breath, "God, Lance—"
Lance's eyes locked tightly on William's in the mirror, and a cautious hope appeared in his eyes, as if William's poor confession finally made him understand something.
Then he turned back, ran his fingers through William's hair, and kissed him eagerly, deeply.When the warm and soft lips met and tasted the light mint flavor in each other's mouth, Lance closed his eyes because of the joy and satisfaction that swept his whole body - although his heart was still aching, thinking of what they missed , How long have you missed it?William himself was not the only one who was stupid, and he didn't let it go too far.
"We'll talk about this in the future, who made the most stupid earlier, and how to make up for it." Lance said against William's lips: "But now I don't want to talk..." He caught William and slipped into the room at some point. His hand inside the dressing gown, "I don't think you want to either."
William took off the strap of Lance's dressing gown, and laughed without guilt.
Lance bit William's lip in retaliation - lightly, of course - then grabbed the fabric at his neckline with one hand and began pulling him toward the bedroom.
They walked close together, which was of course inconvenient, so that in the process of stumbling, Lance's dressing gown and William's shirt were thrown out of nowhere.
There was no way out behind Lance, and William gently pushed Lance's shoulders to lie on the bed. For a moment, he just stood, looking down at him.With a new, totally different look.Then he slowly and firmly pulled out his belt.
Lance leaned lazily on a pillow. When William's clothes became almost as big as him, he leaned over and grabbed his wrist and pulled William back onto the bed. The two bodies collided, and they immediately Laughing loudly, pushing each other while laughing, playing around for a while, finally the lips were pressed together tightly, and there was no gap between the naked skin.
"I really didn't think of this when I came over tonight. Make sure you know." After a gentle nibble between lips, teeth and tongue, William and Lance put their foreheads together, smiled and said, "I haven't had sex with the same sex yet. Too much love."
"Two beginners, huh?" Lance turned his head and glanced at the bedside table, and said, "Fortunately, I'm not completely unprepared."
William reached over and opened the drawer, "Wow." He stared at Lance in disbelief, then pulled out a box of condoms and a bottle of lube, not too surprised to find that they were brand new and untouched. Kaifeng.
William's eyes patrolled Lance's skin, and he made a final cautious question: "Are you sure you want to continue?" Perhaps due to the backlight, his eyes were almost black.
"I've never been more sure than now." Lance's eyes had long been dark blue. He stretched out his feet and hooked William down, causing their waists and hips to touch each other again, twisting and rubbing, and then took the lubricant from William's hands. Oil bottle, open the lid with a "click".
……
If there is any movie that is most anticipated by movie fans in the second half of 2002, it must be "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers".
Even if it is the most popular and most anticipated movie of the year in the global selection, the championship in North America may be taken away by "Spider-Man", but overseas, especially in Europe, the popularity of the "Lord of the Rings" series is definitely far beyond Spiderman.
It can be seen from the sales of those popular movie peripherals. As early as during the preparation period, Willot and Weta Studios had their eyes on the big cake of movie peripherals. The design strives to be exquisite, and the sales of peripheral products after the film's release also meet or even far exceed expectations.
Since its release one year ago, the DVD and peripheral sales of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Ring" have both ranked among the top three in the year, and because the sequel movie is about to be released recently, peripheral sales have once again ushered in a wave of upsurge—it can be said that this Over the past few years, the profit brought to Willot by the sales of "Lord of the Rings" merchandise has already exceeded the movie's box office profit.
A gift shop on the Hollywood and Highland Center Entertainment Plaza, due to the frequent visits of tourists, has earned more than 30 US dollars in profits from the surroundings of "Lord of the Rings" in the few weeks before Christmas. The most popular is of course The Lord of the Rings and Elf jewellery, such as the Leaf Brooch and the Evening Star Necklace worn by Arwen, and the figure models of Glorfindel played by William and Legolas played by Orlando Bloom are also the highest-selling products of their kind , As for postcards, maps of Middle-earth, etc., it goes without saying.
The boom in sales of peripheral products also reflects the attention of the two sequels of "Lord of the Rings" from the side. After the trailer of "The Two Towers" was released, each shot has already been analyzed thousands of times by the media and movie fans. What "The Lord of the Rings" failed to do was released globally simultaneously, "The Two Towers" did, and The number of premiere theaters in the United States has reached 3652, which is almost 300 more than the first film. Most of the premiere tickets are given away, and a small number of tickets sold have already been sold at sky-high prices.
A few days before Christmas, the North American premiere of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" was held in Los Angeles as scheduled. Elijah Wood caused a commotion on the red carpet, and Orlando Bloom almost caused a riot. With these "models", William deliberately followed Peter Jackson on the red carpet, using him to attract media "cannon fire" ", just smiled and waved in response to all the calls, and then passed quickly on the red carpet.
Although his time on the red carpet was very short, it still caused an unprecedented riot. Several young people standing in the front row wanted to use force to break through the blockade. Fortunately, it was only a year after 911/[-], and the nerves of all aspects of the United States were relatively weak. Tension, the number of police and security personnel deployed at a large-scale event such as a movie premiere is several times that of the past, and their response is also very timely, quickly controlling a few people, only to realize that this is just a movie fan who wants to get close to the idol Contact, rather than people with good intentions taking the opportunity to create chaos.
——God knows why Galadriel, the queen of elves played by Cate Blanchett, is noble and elegant, but not as popular as Glorfindel and Legolas, perhaps as "People" said , movie fans are used to seeing actresses stunning the world with their looks, but it is rare to see male actors with beauty beyond gender on the big screen, so they will chase after them crazily.
Released last year, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has a mythical opening and an intermission-style ending after a small climax: Gandalf the Gray, in order to protect the rest of the Fellowship of the Ring, resolutely fights the Balrog. And both fell into the abyss of Turin, and Boromir, the son of the regent of Gondor played by Sean Bean, was tempted by the Lord of the Rings and tried to snatch the Lord of the Rings from Frodo, and then he woke up and died to protect Meri and Pippin .Frodo, who didn't want the Fellowship of the Ring to split again because of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, decided to leave the team and go to Mordor, where Mount Doom is located, and Sam followed him.The film ends just as Frodo and Sam start their journey towards the rocky city after looking out over Mordor from the top of the hill.
It stands to reason that "The Two Towers" continues "The Lord of the Rings", and the story of Frodo and Sam's adventure continues the most smoothly, but that is too boring. If a three-hour movie does not have a wonderful opening, the audience will be disappointed. It's hard to have the interest to insist on watching the whole game.
So how does The Two Towers start?Some people suggested that Glorfindel should replace Galadriel's role, like at the beginning of the first book, using a behind-the-scenes recitation to describe the complex historical background of Middle-earth, because Glorfindel actually and Galadriel It is an elf of the same period, and it is very popular among book fans and movie fans. In this movie, there is still a highlight in the Helm's Deep War, and William's sound quality is also very good.
During the post-production, William also went to the studio to dub a recitation, but it seems that Peter Jackson still did not use it in the end-"The Two Towers" used Gandalf to fight with the Balrog, and then successfully killed the flame. The devil acts as the opening scene.
The reason for this choice is also very good. First of all, from the information revealed in the original book and the previous trailer, it is an indisputable fact that Gandalf will be resurrected in this movie. If the movie is halfway through, the resurrected Gandalf If it pops up suddenly, and then inserts a scene to describe how he defeated the Balrog and advanced to the white-robed wizard, it will appear very abrupt, so it is better to point this foreshadowing at the beginning.Secondly, "The Return of the Lord of the Rings" has already used behind-the-scenes recitations, and it is more fresh to replace the battle scenes in "The Two Towers", and it can also arouse the interest of the audience.
Facts have proved that this is also the case. The audience’s reaction at the premiere is an enhanced version of the audience’s reaction at the test screening. The scene of Gandalf’s fierce battle with the Balrog and the hint that he is about to be resurrected and upgraded made fans who are familiar with the original plot fall into excitement from the beginning , The plot of "The Two Towers" is indeed more exciting than "The Lord of the Rings", which is mainly foreshadowing. Coupled with the spectacular natural scenery and spectacular special effects scenes, there was almost no conversation at the premiere in Los Angeles. Some people are seriously enjoying the movie.
Of course, these people may not include some film creators, such as William, because he participated in the post-production of the film, he has watched these scenes countless times—he was also dragged by Peter Jackson to watch them for six or seven times. The unedited version of [-] hour, and the director's cut version of more than [-] hours. At that time, at least five or six people in a room fell asleep-so William is seriously distracted now, thinking about the release of "The Return of the King" next year Adaptations of other works by Tolkien.For example, "The Hobbit" and "The Silmarillion". Now that Willot has had a successful experience and made Middle-earth a brand, he might as well continue to do it.
Fortunately, "The Hobbit" is relatively scattered, and part of it is in the hands of MGM, but the "Lord of the Rings" series is so popular, and MGM, which has been in poor financial conditions all year round, can't wait to reach a cooperation with Willot. The two parties have now entered the stage of bargaining on whether to buy out or pay dividends, and what the dividend ratio is.
But if you want to adapt "The Silmarillion" into a movie, the difficulty may be several times or ten times that of "The Hobbit", and it will even be a process of perennial resistance.
There are many reasons. For example, "The Lord of the Rings" is still a story with a main line. "The Silmarillion" is the chronicle of Middle-earth. screen.Another example is the chapters in "The Silmarillion", the war between the favor of the gods and the demigods. With the current level of special effects, I am afraid that I don't know how to express it in the first part of "Ainu's Grand Music". Language, structure, costumes, props and even actors in the movie.
Of course, the most critical factor is copyright. J. R. R. Tolkien himself is actually very happy to see his works being filmed, otherwise he would not have sold the adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" at a low price during his lifetime, but " The Silmarillion was compiled and published by his son Christopher Tolkien after Tolkien's death, and the copyright is naturally still in Christopher's hands.
It is unrealistic to spend money on copyright. "The Hobbit" is Christopher Tolkien's bedtime story when he was a child. The love story between Lucien and Beren in "The Silmarillion" is a reflection of his parents' marriage——Ivy Among all the children of Luvita, the most beautiful daughter of heaven, Lucian, fell in love with the mortal Beren. After going through twists and turns, Lucian chose to give up the immortality of the elves and become a human to spend the rest of her life with Beren. Central Asia in "The Lord of the Rings" The love story between Wen and Aragorn is similar to that of Lucian and Beren, and Arwen is indeed a descendant of Lucian.In fact, these beautiful and moving love stories are more or less the shadow of Tolkien and his wife Edith. Tolkien regards his wife as his Lucien. After the two died, under their names on their tombstones , and also engraved the names of Beren and Lucien—and adding that "The Silmarillion" was finally compiled and published by him, it can be said that Christopher is the person with the deepest affection for Middle-earth in the world. I want to learn from him To get the copyright in hand, money is not the key factor, the most important thing is to gain his trust and affirmation, to make him believe that Willot will not mess up the movie.
Willot wasn't the first studio to approach Christopher Tolkien, and it won't be the last. The two sides sat together and talked about "The Lord of the Rings" before it was released. At that time, Christopher Tolkien refused very much, claiming that no matter how much money he would sell "The Silmarillion".Now, perhaps influenced by "The Return of the Lord of the Rings", Christopher Tolkien's attitude has softened a bit, and he is even willing to sit down and talk about the "Children of Hurin" he is finishing.
Being willing to sit down and chat doesn't mean you're willing to sell the rights now, but Christopher Tolkien agreed if Willlott's future adaptations of Tolkien's works didn't disappoint him - and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed Becoming a special advisor to the future The Hobbit crew - if he feels out of shape in a few years (he is 78 years old this year) and wants to find a worthy entrusted film company for "The Silmarillion" before he dies , then Willot would be the first partner he considered.
And William believes that as long as the copyright can be obtained, and as long as film technology continues to develop, then any film adaptation will not be difficult for Hollywood.Even if it was The Silmarillion.
……
The climax of "Two Towers" is the Battle of Helm's Deep, and this battle took almost two hours to lay the groundwork.
Unlike "The Lord of the Rings", "Two Towers" uses a multi-line narrative-after Boromir's death, the Fellowship of the Ring fell into a state of fragmentation and separation, and the journey of each squad is a main line.Frodo and Sam met Gollum on the way to Mordor and asked him to lead them into Mordor; Meri and Pippin were kidnapped by the Orcs, but they escaped luckily and met the Treants; Golas and Jinpili reconciled with the revived white-robed wizard Gandalf, and the four entered the Kingdom of Rohan, and together with the people of Rohan, encountered Saruman's conspiracy.
The three teams struggled on their own journeys, each with their own tribulations and adventures. They did not meet each other, but their fates were closely related to each other, and they jointly promoted the development of the plot. In addition to the three main plots, there were also some fragmented sub-plots.
The main line plus the branch line, not only the story is very full and substantial, but the movie also keeps going through various story details to create a tense atmosphere before the war, so although more than 100 minutes have been prepared for a big war, it does not make people feel boring. Boring, and few audiences in the cinema were drowsy, but the more they saw the back, the more refreshed they were.
Halfway through the movie, the kingdom of Rohan was frequently attacked by orcs. King Theoden led his people to retreat to Helm's Deep, but Aragorn, who fell off the cliff and survived miraculously, brought Saruman to try to use strong orcs to attack him. News of the orcish army's conquest of Rohan.
This news made everyone feel desperate, even the always optimistic Legolas.
King Theoden looks confident, but his monologue reveals the most pessimistic emotions in his heart.
Theoden was convinced that he was alone, and that no one would come to Rohan's aid, not elves, nor dwarves, nor Gondorians.
In the Holy Helm's Deep, women and children hid in caves, and the old, weak, sick and disabled scrambled to pick up swords.
The Kingdom of Rohan mobilized all possible forces to resist an army of [-] orcs with [-] troops.
This is almost a losing battle, even the elves think so.
In Lothlorien, the elves such as Galadriel, Glorfindel, Elrond, and Celeborn are worried about the future fate of Middle-earth and mankind.
"The age of the elves is over," Glorfindel predicted.
Elrond looked solemn and remained silent.
Galadriel asked if they were going to see Middle-earth fall, leaving the humans to fight alone while the elves stood by.
Following Galadriel's words, Elrond and Glorfindel looked at each other, lost in thought.
Helm's Deep is still in formation. This scene happened in the dark night. The king who was shrouded in the helplessness of fate, the children who took up arms to participate in the battle, the orc army ready to go, and the armor decided to stay in Helm's Deep Aragorn, Legolas, and Golden Thunder who fought together with the Rohans, with emotional scenes coupled with tragic and majestic music, everyone felt the desperate atmosphere before the war in the movie.
Even the movie theater is filled with an atmosphere that can hardly sit still. The audience is worried and nervous. They can't wait to see the next scene, but they are afraid that the Kingdom of Rohan has no chance of winning. The upcoming war scene Too tragic.
At the same time, because of the elves who just appeared, they still have a glimmer of hope-the elves won't really stand by, right? ——Just like the night in the movie at this time, the darker the night, the more it means that the dawn is coming soon.
At this moment, the trumpet sounded, and Halda led the reinforcements of Rosslorian and Rivendell to fight side by side with humans!
In the movie, the people of Rohan finally saw a bright hope. Outside the screen, too many viewers were completely immersed in the emotions created by the movie, and the soundtrack exclusively for elves aroused goose bumps all over their bodies.
And those who know some of the original works are even more moved - in Tolkien's works, elves are immortal, and only swords, arrows and sadness can kill elves.Just like Arwen chose to fall in love with Aragorn, why didn't she also choose the fate of dying in pain after Aragorn's death.The elves headed by Halda came to Helm's Deep to fight with humans. From another perspective, they were also ready to die in battle.For the elves, this is truly an unprecedented sacrifice.
This moved emotion even spread to Orlando Bloom.
This is actually incredible, because Orlando Bloom didn't feel anything when filming this scene, but now, he was almost infected by the people around him and wiped his eye sockets together!
When Halda died in battle, an Elvish lament rang out in the movie. The scene of Halda's death was played back in slow motion, and the sound of sobbing began to appear in a large area in the auditorium.
This scene was adapted very well. The death of the elves with eternal life on the battlefield exaggerated the tragedy and tragedy of the war. Orlando Bloom rubbed his sore nose and couldn't help thinking, if they hadn't filmed like this at the beginning , and if it is replaced by the other two versions, what kind of picture will be presented in the movie at this time?
——In the original book, there were no elves involved in the Battle of Helm's Deep.As early as when writing the script, the screenwriters decided to let the elves go to Helm's Deep. This is a must-shoot scene, but they haven't decided which elves will participate.Even while shooting, the director, screenwriter, and actors have been arguing about this issue.
Glorfindel is one of the few characters that everyone thought was going to be a big hit before the movie even started filming (and it was), so at first they wanted Glorfindel to be in the big fight, and in the war Play an important role as a means to attract movie fans.But it was rejected by William during the discussion. Let’s not say that this is too different from the original book. Secondly, Glorfindel’s combat power is equivalent to that of Maia. If he is to participate in the Helm’s Deep War, he will play a similar role to Gandalf. That's reasonable, but the tragic atmosphere when the Halda Elf team died in battle would be greatly weakened.
Then they tried to transform Arwen into a female warrior, have her appear in Helm's Deep, help tend to the wounded, or simply fight with Aragorn.She also arranged two important scenes for her. The first scene is that Aragorn and Jinpeng are about to fall off the city wall, and Arwen throws down the rope in time to pull them up, and when Halda is injured, Aragorn turns to rescue him. , It was originally arranged to save Arwen.
Thinking about Orlando Bloom on his knees also knows that the second must be a bad idea-in order to aggravate the love scene between Arwen and Aragorn, let them have sex on the battlefield?It’s also thanks to the screenwriters who came up with it-but Liv Tyler is different from Miranda Otto (played by Eowyn), she doesn’t have the aura of a female warrior, in fact, even she herself doesn’t like this idea, Coupled with the fact that the powerful Tolkien Global Book Fans Association somehow obtained information and raised strong protests against this subversion of the original work, this idea can only be dropped.
At that time, half of Liv Tyler's battle scenes were filmed, and they had to delete all of her scenes in post-production, and Orlando Bloom replaced the key scenes. For this reason, he flew to New Zealand twice to reshoot the scenes. .
Orlando Bloom envied every time he thought of it.Yes, envy.Liv Tyler hopes that Arwen is a more spiritual character, and doesn’t want to become a female warrior like Eowyn, but she has to shoot as written in the script, even if the filming is stopped halfway, the previous energy preparations are exhausted. She did useless work, and no one said sorry to her. As for Orlando Bloom, because of the change of the script, he had to drop all the work at hand and fly to New Zealand to reshoot the shots.But William Bradley changed the script with only one sentence. Which actor does not envy this kind of voice and influence.
Thinking of this, Orlando Bloom couldn't help but look towards the front row again. William Bradley's seat was next to Peter Jackson, which was also the most central position in the cinema.
But... Orlando Bloom blinked, and the seat next to Peter Jackson was empty?
After waiting for a few minutes, he looked over again and finally determined that William Bradley had slipped away early.
Orlando Bloom's buttocks twitched a few times in his seat uneasily. The movie was almost over. When he thought of the interview meeting after the end, he wanted to slip out of here like William Bradley The impulse to drop.
When filming "The Lord of the Rings", he was a student who had just graduated and knew nothing. Of course, he was not famous at all. After "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" was released, he became popular overnight and became the world's most famous Rookie actors who are attracting attention!
It’s good to have attention, no actor doesn’t like attention, fame means that life suddenly becomes easy, and everything you want can be obtained at your fingertips.But wherever he goes, he will be recognized by people, followed by paparazzi, and secretly photographed by fans... Orlando Bloom was frightened without any mental preparation. Until now, he has been a bit maladaptive, the side effect of overnight fame Too many, and he's still trying to get over being overly nervous answering reporters' questions and not knowing what to do when fans are chanting I love you.
To be honest, Orlando Bloom originally wanted to wait for the premiere to continue to ask William for advice on how to maintain a normal life rhythm without being disrupted while surrounded by reporters and fans on 7/24. William is already a superstar In the movie, Glorfindel, who has beautiful and dazzling slightly curly blond hair, eyes as bright as jewels, and an impossibly beautiful face, is more obsessed with movie fans than Legolas. Candid photos of fan sites, but William looked glamorous tonight, obviously he has already been as good at avoiding the camera as 007, and has not been disturbed by the media.
Before the premiere, William had already taught Orlando some tricks, such as having multiple unfixed residences, never living in just one of them, and not playing the game of disappearing. Public relations regularly released general trends through the cooperative media, and then From time to time, he releases some false news about his whereabouts. Orlando can’t learn from buying a lot of properties (it’s acceptable if he only rents them), but his public relations can learn from the last two tricks.
And this trick of flashing people directly at the premiere is obviously one of William's means of avoiding the media-Orlando Bloom wants to go with him, but he can't, he can't be so chic.
Because his agent once tried to persuade him: "A paparazzi cannot do without a star, and a star cannot do without a dog."
