The interaction between the main creative members of the crew and the Victoria's Secret Angels ended, the lights in the projection hall dimmed, and the opening title of Orion Films appeared on the big screen.

Immediately afterwards, on the pitch-black screen, a low-pitched female voice monologue faintly sounded.

"The world has changed, I know from the water..."

"I know from Middle-earth..."

"I know from the wind..."

"The traces left by the ancient times have been lost, because there are no living ones, and they can still remember..."

The tone of the voice is very strange, not the usual American English or Cockney pronunciation, but the Quenya from the original book.

It is a language created by the original author, J.R.R. Tolkien.

As soon as the screening of the film started, it brought a surprise to the readers and fans of the original book.

Someone can really speak Quenya, and it's still on the big screen. I can't help but look forward to the next plot.

In fact, in order to accurately restore the Quenya language, the crew specially invited several Finnish linguists to repeatedly correct the pronunciation of each word, and only then did the Quenya language on the screen be restored.

Next, the deep Quenya sounded again.

"This story begins with the casting of the Ring of Power, three of which were given to the elves, the immortals, the most beautiful and wise among all living beings, seven to the dwarf princes, outstanding miners, and the other nine..."

There are so many plots in the original book that it is impossible to show them one by one in the film. The whole story background can only be shown one by one through the monologue at the beginning of the film.

Orion Films has discussed internally that in the future it will plan to film two short stories, "The Silmarillion" and "The Hobbit".

Among them, "The Hobbit" is regarded as the prequel of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, while "The Silmarillion" records many chapters from before the beginning of the universe to the end of the main story.

Next, the movie reached its climax. An unprecedented battle gradually appeared on the screen. The astonishingly large allied forces of humans and elves gathered from all directions to fight against the ugly Modo monster.

The war scenes in the film are very touching.

"A magnificent epic battlefield!"

Stephen Spielberg looked at the screen, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there seemed to be a hint of disbelief.

The epic battlefield on a grand scale has always been the weakness of Hollywood movies.

However, a huge and magnificent battlefield appeared on the screen in front of him, an epic picture far surpassing "Gladiator".

Ridley-Scott looked at the screen without saying a word, and the look in his eyes was very complicated, as if revealing a trace of luck.

If "Gladiator" is not postponed, but continues to be released according to the original release time, I'm afraid it will be an unprecedented failure.

The war scene is over, the Supreme Lord of the Rings has not been destroyed by the coalition forces, and the evil still remains.

The next moment, the scene on the screen changed, and the verdant vegetation, sturdy trees, clear river, orderly bankers, and the legendary Hobbit all appeared in front of the audience.

For some loyal readers and fans of the original book, it is not difficult to find that many places have been changed in the film, and many plots in the original book have been omitted, which makes them somewhat disappointed.

However, the epic war just now, the alliance between humans and elves, has satisfied many people.

After all, the length of the film is limited, and it is impossible to show the plots in the original work one by one.

However, when Shire and the Hobbit appeared, they couldn't help but make people's eyes shine again.

The Shire on the screen is almost exactly the same as the Shire described in the original book, full of natural, rich and pastoral scenery everywhere.

"God!"

Jeremy Howard couldn't help exclaiming, "The crew found the real Shire."

The audience on the side also showed a fascinated look in their eyes, and said hesitantly: "This should be a scene built by the crew, and it is impossible for Shire to exist in reality."

Naturally, it is impossible for Shire to exist in reality.

But the crew can create a Shire according to the description in the original work.

Peter Jackson not only asked the crew to hire people to plant trees, but also to plant crops. After spending a lot of time, manpower and material resources, he finally restored Shire.

"It's a beautiful scenery, and it can be used as one of the vacation spots in the future." Ryan turned to look at Cindy Crawford and said.

"You can come to visit after a while." Cindy Crawford shrugged and said, "I will show you around Shire myself."

She is very familiar with Charles in the film.

This is one of the important shooting locations of the crew. The following two films will also be filmed in Shire. It is also one of the tourism projects that Orion Films cooperates with the New Zealand government.

After a while, Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Merry and other characters appeared one by one.

From the character race, appearance to clothing, props, etc., all the descriptions in the original work are restored.

It seems that J. R. R. Tolkien created the scene according to the film.

It can be said that the character modeling shown in the film has been recognized by most of the original readers and fans.

For a while, there was silence in the auditorium, only the sound from the stereo.

In fact, the plot of the whole film is somewhat procrastinated and the pace is very slow.

If it weren't for the epic battle at the beginning of the film, I am afraid that some viewers who have not read the original work would have lost interest long ago.

However!

No yet.

As the Fellowship of the Ring embarks on their journey on the screen, the pace of the film suddenly picks up.

In the picture taken from a high altitude, above the majestic mountains, several members of the Fellowship of the Ring expedition marched in a single file.

Along the way, in addition to escaping the pursuit of Sauron's minions, the Black Knight and Orcs, the Fellowship of the Ring also has to resist the evil temptation from the Supreme Lord of the Rings. The future is full of difficulties.

"This is New Zealand? How is it possible! I just went to New Zealand not long ago."

"I really want to know the filming location of the crew, the scenery is simply too charming."

"Honey, how about we take a holiday together in New Zealand next month? Take the Fellowship of the Ring route."

Ridley-Scott's whole person fell into confusion, with the charm created by "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" on the screen.

Even if the release time of "Gladiator" is postponed, I'm afraid it will face a huge impact.

The release time of the two films is close, and they are both epic films. The media and audiences will inevitably compare the two films together.

He can even imagine that "Gladiator" will usher in overwhelming doubts.

"The people from Universal Pictures should really come over and take a look." Ridley Scott said through gritted teeth.

Stephen Spielberg opened his mouth, and finally said silently: "Ridley, let's go back and talk about it."

If we talk about the first part of the film, Stephen Spielberg only felt a little shock, and didn't bring much feeling.

But as the Fellowship of the Ring embarks on its journey, all kinds of incidents and climaxes in the film continue, and he is deeply attracted.

Thinking of this, Steven Spielberg glanced around, and many invited guests were also immersed in the plot of the film.

It is enough to show that the charm brought by "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is irresistible even to many Hollywood stars and directors.

Of course, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is essentially a commercial film with a very simple plot theme, which is nothing more than various obstacles in the process of destroying the Supreme Lord of the Rings.

The plot almost revolves around the Fellowship of the Ring expedition, and the rest, whether it is Modo and Minas Morgul, or Isengard, etc., only have very few shots.

Even, the elf queen played by Cindy Crawford has only a short shot from beginning to end.

This is also impossible.

First of all, this is a commercial film, and secondly, it is an epic film, including "Gladiator~www.wuxiaspot.com~" jointly produced by DreamWorks and Universal Pictures itself is also a commercial film by definition, and the film company needs to get enough box office.

Therefore, when editing the film, a large number of irrelevant shots were deleted, including the elf queen played by Cindy Crawford.

There's no way the Elven Queen could be a major character in the film.

The protagonist in "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" can only be the Fellowship of the Ring.

For example, the kind-hearted hobbit Frodo-Baggins, the well-known Maya Gandalf, the direct descendant of Gondor, and Aragorn who grew up in Rivendell, the valley of elves.

This is exactly what Stephen Spielberg is worried about.

A traditional epic film, even if it has an impact on "Gladiator", it is estimated that it will not be too much.

But a film that perfectly combines commercial and epic can even be called a classic film. For the upcoming "Gladiator", it is no less than a blow to the head.

Let DreamWorks be unable to advance or retreat.
