Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

In "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", Gu Qing did not appear in real life.In fact, he didn't play an invisible role like Leonardo played a pirate who couldn't see his true face before, he just contributed his voice.

In the opening credits of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", there is a narration.The narration tells the story of the origin of the Lord of the Rings and the past when humans and elves cooperated for the first time to defeat Sauron together.

This narration was read by Gu Qing, and it was in English when it was released. In fact, Gu Qing also recorded a version in Elvish, and this version will be included in the later CD release.

It can only be said that the narration is not very similar to the American English that Gu Qing has always used, and it was at the very beginning, but I don’t know if any fans will recognize it.

It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it.

The above sentence is seriously lost, and in fact, some movie fans naturally recognized it, and the tone of EX is still very recognizable.

In fact, the movie fans have no choice. They almost watched "The Lord of the Rings" several times back and forth, and they almost didn't have a magnifying glass. But in the end, they have to admit that EX only contributed a piece of voice.Although the sound is very nice, it matches the picture at that time, and has a distant artistic conception, but there is no way to make movie fans feel satisfied, okay?

Then, this group of moviegoers, who saw the film before fans anywhere else, did their own thing and came to feed themselves.They recorded the narration in "The Lord of the Rings", and combined it with the picture of EX dressed as an elf at the "Lord of the Rings"-themed celebration, and made a "slight spoiler short film".

This "short video" can be said to be a consolation, but on the other hand, they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and put this clip on the Internet.

——EX cried so beautifully in "The Lord of the Rings Part One", the kind that you can't feel if you don't go to the cinema.

——With an appearance like EX, I won't say specifically what kind of role he plays in "The Lord of the Rings", but as long as he is a fan of the original book, most of them can guess it.

——The voice is also quite nice, it would be even better if it was in Elvish.

——Although EX didn’t appear for a long time, it still made me, a die-hard fan, cry.

——It’s not enough to just watch the short film, so please go to the cinema by all means!

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" held its world premiere in the UK on December 12th, and the large-scale release was on December 10th.The large-scale here only refers to North America, Europe and the United States, and other regions, such as Asia, will come later.As for Asia, it’s okay to say that other places, even China, have to go through strict scrutiny, and the files will be finalized in the spring of next year.

Therefore, it is conceivable that movie fans in other countries and regions are almost unable to hold themselves hooked by this short film.In addition to the reappearance of the picturesque elf costume, there is also the reason that EX has not starred in a movie in the past two years. This is probably the two major reasons why they did not realize the slight violation in the short film—— If this is a hunger marketing, the effect is absolutely great.

Under such circumstances, as far as North America—the stronghold of EX, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is released on a large scale on December 12, his fans are already eager to move, even those who were not in such a hurry to go. Movie fans in the movie theater organized a group to go to the movie theater to feast their eyes.

Then, I almost cried and fainted in the movie theater.

British movie fans are too treacherous, how about we agree to be each other's angels?

Everyone has a herd mentality, well, it seems that it has nothing to do with herd mentality, but a balance mentality of "one's own happiness is based on the pain of others, which is the real happiness", so I bought the ticket early Fans of EX who went to the cinema to see the truth, instead of telling the truth, racked their brains and tried their best to paint a big picture for the fans behind, describing the dreamlike and unreal movie-watching experience.

Cheat one is one.

In fact, aside from this wonderful human misunderstanding, as far as "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" itself is concerned, its quality is undoubtedly superior.

Although a small number of fans of the original book of "The Lord of the Rings" complained about Peter Jackson's adaptation, most of the fans of the original book still agree that Peter Jackson restored the atmosphere created in Mr. Tolkien's works as much as possible. middle earth.

As for the media, most of the media gave "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" quite positive comments, such as "Entertainment Weekly": "The film is full of vitality. The title is also dreamy and magical."

Another example is the "Chicago Sun" said: "Extraordinary visual effects, magnificent artistic conception, excellent film production. This is a hobbit's dream and an elf's joy, and this is only the beginning, this is just the series First movie."

This evaluation probably has the meaning of "innuendo" Gu Qing, "the joy of an elf" or something, who made the "Lord of the Rings First Part" aggressive, and the box office in the first weekend in North America was as high as 7612 million US dollars. Just like "Titanic", the duration of the movie will directly affect the number of screenings, the density of the film and other indicators of the film.Such a first weekend box office is undoubtedly a good start. If there is no accident, ET Films will not lose money on the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Strictly speaking, it is how much they will earn back from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

I don't know if it's because it's a trilogy, and the naming structure is the same, so some media compare the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy with the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy.

Speaking of which, if you really want to say something "similar", then George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy series is currently showing the first part, "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Phantom Menace", the second The second part of the same "Lord of the Rings" trilogy will also be released next year, and when "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" was released in 99, the box office in North America was also quite high in its first weekend.In addition, "Star Wars Prequel" relies on the classic "Star Wars" before, while "Lord of the Rings" relies on Mr. Tolkien's classic works.

The above is all superficial. Professional film critics don’t pay attention to these superficial things. They pay more attention to the film’s narrative method and the way of expressing the film’s theme. For example, the Boston Globe pointed it out: " The film did not refer to the "Star Wars" trilogy, but the director intentionally did so, perfectly showing the dream world of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" in stages."

All in all, The Lord of the Rings Part One has received excellent reviews from professional film critics.And even then, they don't cover a whole page, but that's what The EX Times does -- it does it in a full issue.

It is not difficult to understand, who made the parent company of "EX Times" be EX Industry, and although ET Film Company is not affiliated with EX Industry, its helm is the heir of EX Industry.So it is understandable for such a public device to be used for private use.

The attitude of "EX Times" in reporting "The First Part of the Lord of the Rings" is relatively objective. It does not blindly pile up gorgeous rhetoric to praise "The First Part of the Lord of the Rings", but in addition to the film reviews of "The First Part of the Lord of the Rings", it also publishes some exclusive The tidbits, which are also believed to describe "an elf's delight" EX, also give his opinion on "Lord of the Rings", no, strictly speaking, the entire cast, including all cast and crew.

If you have to describe it as a whole, this issue of "EX Times" is a high-level fan of "The Lord of the Rings First Part".

Blowing quietly, moistening things quietly, not blatantly but not covertly building momentum for "The Lord of the Rings", after all, the awards season has come. Although "The Lord of the Rings" is more inclined to be a commercial film, its artistry should not be underestimated, just like "Titanic" back then.

Of course, "The Lord of the Rings" still has some disadvantages compared with "Titanic". The most obvious point is that it does not tell a complete story, but it has relative advantages, even if it is a segmented story. , that is also a story with a very grand structure, and "Titanic" is better than technological innovation.

ET Films wanted to grab both the box office and the awards, so they asked "EX Times" to do the high-level bragging, and they showed this attitude quite calmly.

It really makes other Hollywood film companies have no thorns, and they have experienced the public relations turmoil started by the Weinstein Brothers before, so they are so upright to build momentum, so f*cking is a bit cute.

It must be the fault of EX's good looks!

Speaking of appearance is justice, it goes back to the hot topic of "you are the one who lied to you" made by EX fans.Hollywood is more concerned about this chain effect, how much it has increased the box office of "The Lord of the Rings First Part". !

Think about it, when he gave a speech, he gave nearly 10% to the total box office of "Gait Shot". Now he doesn't show his face in "The Lord of the Rings Part One" at all, because of the "prank" of fans, so that the unknown The audience "stumbled" along, it was simply...too enviable and jealous.

So annoying!

Some people are jealous, so it is easy to have small accidents, but before anyone has made up their minds to fish in troubled waters, EX has a new move, and he responded to the fact that his fans were "deceived": he did not In direct response to the question of not appearing in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he solemnly thanked the fans for their love, and then said that he decided to play Batman.

What the hell!

Other film companies, especially Seventh, are about to kneel down. This move is really timely, and the binding effect is particularly strong. What's more, even his fans who were originally depressed, now want to celebrate with each other. right?

Kill more birds with one stone!

Black-hearted capitalist!

Look at this method of maximizing profits, it's not what black-hearted capitalists are, and it's no wonder that making money is like drinking cold water.

Then, more pitfalls came. EX’s patent on atmospheric synthesis in the polar regions won him the Nobel Prize, and the list of winners will be announced in the near future.

In other words, other Hollywood studios didn't want to talk, and threw a hat called "black-hearted capitalist" at EX; and EX casually rejected the hat and took out the Nobel Prize he just won.

Other Hollywood studios, vomit blood.

——This is all a routine, a routine.

Of course, not everyone likes this. Cameron called Gu Qing afterwards and despised Gu Qing. He had already decided to play Batman before, but now it seems that he sacrificed himself to play Batman for the sake of fans. Like a hero, are you interested?

Gu Qing is innocent: "I didn't confuse these two things, it's what you insist on understanding, James."

"Aha?"

Gu Qing further said: "You see, I first responded to the fans' love for me, and then I took this opportunity to announce that I would play Batman...so these two things are not necessarily related."

Cameron snorted: "Dare you say you didn't do it on purpose?"

"I don't deny that I did it on purpose, James, don't convict me without asking." Gu Qingyu said earnestly, with obvious helplessness in his tone.

Cameron: "...Eric Xavier!"

……

Although ET Films has not been established for a long time, it is very famous in Hollywood. Of course, it is hard to say whether this reputation is positive or negative. Anyway, it is recognized as a maverick.With the great success of "The Lord of the Rings", the reputation of ET Films has been further improved, and more or less it has been labeled as "serious".

It's just that there is no way to remove the labels of "maverick" and "sword slant" in a short time. The point of "maverick" was also mentioned when it recruited Christopher Nolan before. Here it mainly refers to its willingness to break the inherent rules of Hollywood to a certain extent; Most of the movies they shoot are not mainstream movies, and they don’t follow the trend. Think about the superhero movies they have now, and the sci-fi movie "Simone" shot by Andrew Nicol.

These two points have also led to other Hollywood film companies' disapproval of it, specifically in the fact that they are unwilling to play with it (...), no, it's because they don't communicate with ET Film Company very much, that is, they once had a relationship with Gu Qing Twentieth Century Fox, which has mixed oil with honey, is now drifting away.

After all, the painting style is different.

ET Films has a unique style of painting, which has advantages and disadvantages.The disadvantages are obvious. After all, the film market is still dominated by "mainstream films", otherwise how can it be called mainstream, which makes ET Films basically self-reliant in film projects; the advantage is that there are more and more films that do not follow the mainstream. People, or those who bring their own scripts, come to the door, hoping to get the opportunity to show their talents. In fact, there is no shortage of famous filmmakers among them.

"Leo, do you want me to cast this script?" Gu Qing flipped through the script Leonardo brought, and when Leonardo hesitated to speak, he took the initiative to speak.

Leonardo was embarrassed: "I just want you to see—"

Gu Qing interrupted him: "I think you misunderstood me, I mean you can come to me with the script from the very beginning."

Leonardo was stunned for a moment, and under the gaze of Gu Qinglan's eyes, he touched his nose: "You know?"

The script that Leonardo brought back was "Gangs of New York", and the current situation is that there is a script, a director, the famous Martin Scorsese, and a starring role——Leonardo has been in the Running in with Martin Scorsese, he has always hoped to cooperate with Martin Scorsese, so when he knew that Martin Scorsese was determined to shoot "Gangs of New York", he recommended himself non-stop - and then, Nothing else, before the script reached Gu Qing, the script was rejected by many Hollywood producers for the simple reason that gangster movies are not among the mainstream movies, and Martin Scorsese has never been a A director who can make money for the studio, and the budget of "Gangs of New York" cannot be low.

What Leonardo is busy with, Gu Qing is naturally clear, he is also very clear about the current predicament that "Gangs of New York" is facing, and Leonardo did not think of him first, the reason Gu Qing also understands, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to do it .Gu Qing was a little moved, so he sighed: "So in Leo's heart, he doesn't trust me so much? To be honest, this hurts me."

Rake upside down.

Leonardo was bluffed again, he explained in a hurry.

Gu Qing had played bad enough, so he pretended to be a good guy again: "Okay, okay, didn't you think of me in the end. Besides, what you are worried about, Leo, is actually not a big problem, even if this movie is not profitable. money, but I think Director Scorsese will make other movies in the future, won't he?"

Leonardo blinked his eyes and understood what Gu Qing meant.He wanted to work with Martin Scorsese a long time ago and respected him a lot, but if he had to choose between Martin Scorsese and Gu Qing, of course he would choose Gu Qing without saying a word, so He said: "Well, Old Martin is a prolific director."

Although it is not a film a year, it is definitely much more productive than Cameron. Leonardo did not say this truth.

It's just that Leo, you are so "forgotten when you see sex", does old Martin know?
