Chapter 575 The Charm of The Lord of the Rings

"A city with simple folk customs?"

"What's going on, you also want to make a superhero movie?"

"Okay! Lin Qiu, you have a secret for your brother, right?"

Ye Zhiyuan and Zhou Kai suddenly became excited when they heard Lin Qiu's words.

They had discussed Marvel plans before, and naturally until there was a super popular character in the Marvel universe, that was Spider-Man!

The other one Lin Qiu mentioned is definitely not in the Marvel universe.

As for Lin Qiu's commercial filming, this problem is not a problem at all. You must know that even Zhou Kai's commercial filming method was taught by Lin Qiu.

"Batman."

"Batman, is he similar to Spider-Man?"

"It's different. It can even be said to be different from traditional superhero movies."

Lin Qiu touched his chin and said with a smile.

If one were to pick out the most classic superhero movies in his previous life, Lin Qiu would recommend the "Batman" trilogy first.

In the past life, there was a topic often discussed among superhero fans, that is, "Who is the most popular superhero?".

Every time this issue is mentioned, it can lead to fierce "debates". Countries often hold similar "voting" activities to judge the popularity of superheroes by the number of votes. There is an interesting phenomenon in every vote.

There seems to always be only one "champion", and that is "Batman".

"Let's talk about it."

"Gotham City is the hometown of Batman, and social security is very poor..."

Lin Qiu briefly described the background of the movie "Batman".

The night sky is always overcast, and the weird Gothic buildings stand tall. Under the superficial glitz, there is dirt and evil hidden in the dark alleys.

This is Gotham City, one of the cities with the highest crime rate.

Zhou Kai's mouth twitched, "You call this simple folk customs?"

"What superpowers does Batman have?"

Lin Qiu shook his head, "No."

Ye Zhiyuan was stunned, "No?"

"Does money ability count? Batman's biggest characteristic is that he is a complete "ordinary person" and superpowers do not exist in him at all."

"Huh? You're so ambitious! I'm starting to look forward to it."

Ye Zhiyuan gradually became excited.

Since Lin Qiu said this, he must have been thinking about it.

If a superhero without superpowers can be filmed with a feeling, the box office will definitely not be bad.

When Lin Qiu came to this world, he tried to diversify whether it was novels or animations, and presented masterpieces in various genres. In terms of movies, because of the existence of Ye Zhiyuan and Zhou Kai, Lin Qiu's personal shooting task was not that heavy.

This kind of commercial film can be left to the two of them to shoot, but Lin Qiu still plans to direct "Batman" himself, because in this world, I am afraid only Lin Qiu can describe and create the "Gotham Grand Scene"!

…

During the period a year ago, Ye Zhiyuan had been in a busy state in preparation for the wedding, and Zhou Kai was not relaxed either, because the production cycle of superhero movies was very tight, and there was also the filming of "Avengers 1" the year after next. Zhou Kai and Changan Film and Television Company need to make sufficient preparations in advance.

Changan now has sufficient experience and industrial chain in the production of Marvel series, and one movie a year is not a problem at all.

As for Lin Qiu, he was quite leisurely. He went back to his grandparents' house with his parents and Tang Anning to spend the New Year together.

Due to work reasons, Lin Qiu hasn't spent the New Year with her grandparents for several years. Her grandparents are already older, and when she sees her grandson and granddaughter-in-law coming back, she smiles happier than anyone else!

In a small rural town, the arrival of Lin Qiu and Tang Anning became the biggest news in the town. However, there were not as many star-chasers as there were in the towns. There were more elderly people and children watching in groups.

As the New Year approaches, the sound of firecrackers gradually begins to sound in the countryside.

I have to say that compared to the city, the countryside is still more interesting. The seven aunts and eight aunts around them all ran to Lin Qiu's house when they heard that Lin Qiu was back. It was completely different from the way of socializing in the city. .

Seeing the happy and proud smiles of her grandparents, Lin Qiu's family was very happy, and Tang Anning quickly integrated into the atmosphere.

…

Just as the New Year is approaching, the third part of "The Lord of the Rings", which is also the last part of the main text, "The Lord of the Rings: The Invincible" is officially released!

This final work of The Lord of the Rings tells the story of the final battle between good and evil!

Continuing the plot of the previous part, the Dark Lord Sauron launched a fierce attack to the west when he was angry, with the main attack direction being Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor.

Aragorn and the Rohan army rushed to the rescue separately, once again thwarting the enemy's plot!

The readers who watched the series of battles were very excited!

The protagonist Frodo and others, after many hardships, finally threw the Ring into the volcano, destroying it, and the Dark Lord Thor was defeated!

Unfortunately, Gollum had a fierce fight with Frodo in order to snatch the Ring. During the fight, Gollum lost his footing and fell off the cliff. He got the Ring at the same time, so he happily hugged the ring!

Unfortunately, there was a loud bang, and Gollum fell into the rolling lava and was melted together with the Lord of the Rings.

With the destruction of the Lord of the Rings, this epic battle between good and evil finally came to an end.

Globally, "The Lord of the Rings" still maintains terrifying sales and popularity, but it is slightly weaker in Xiazhou. This is also due to differences in reading habits.

However, after the release of the last one, the grand Middle-earth battlefield plot and pictures still made readers feel the charm of that world.

Even those who didn't like the style of "Lord of the Rings" before can feel the charm of "Lord of the Rings" in the war scenes in the last part.

Let me ask, which author who reads Western fantasy does not fantasize about seeing a world where orcs and humans fight each other and elves and dwarves coexist?

The biggest reason why "Lord of the Rings" is so classic is that there are many Middle-earth fans among the readership. The Middle-earth world described in this book is really wonderful, with not only grand myths but also profound cultural heritage.

From the reader's point of view, it doesn't seem to be fictional at all, but real.

Because these myths and cultural heritage cover too wide a range, but in fact, after reading the history of Middle-earth, if you think deeply about it, you will be led to deeper thinking about many problems encountered in human development, such as power, justice, wisdom, and vanity.

【The author of this book, Lao Ze, wrote it based on the Catholic faith, but it is different from the Catholic faith. In the book, we can see a clear struggle between good and evil, but it is far more than just a struggle between good and evil. After the finale, many people think that "The Lord of the Rings" is an adventure with a happy ending. I don't think so. In fact, if you read it carefully, you will know that everyone is facing their own battle with despair. 】

【Don't you like this story? I like it very much. There are many details in it. I guess you can only feel it after reading it. The friendship between the expedition team, the feelings of sadness but not sadness, and the tragic spirit of knowing that it is impossible to do it. What the above said is right. In fact, before the Lord of the Rings was thrown into the Doomsday Volcano, almost everyone thought that the task was extremely difficult to complete, and they almost despaired several times. Lao Ze's writing is too strong! 】

【To be honest, when I read the first two books, including the third book, I didn't feel that this series of works was very experienced, but three days later, the characters and plots in "The Lord of the Rings" are still lingering in my mind, and the aftereffect is very strong. 】

【I thought I was reading a novel at first, but I felt it was a history after reading it. The completeness of the framework and the tightness of the structure may be unmatched by any of Lao Zei's previous works. 】

【It feels like a novel with a lot of classical charm. It makes sense when you think about it. Some best-selling Western fantasy novels use modern language to describe the conception, which is tasteless. The epic grandeur, opera-like magnificence and philosophical contemplation, the charm of the classical era is all here. 】

【I hope that one day I can see "The Lord of the Rings" be remade into a movie! Lao Zei described the environment in detail this time, even the vegetation and terrain on the road were described clearly, and we should be able to do it with our current special effects! 】

…

This time, after the release of the three "Lord of the Rings", the Xiazhou reader group did not show a situation of crazy praise, but more slowly savored it. Many readers wandered in the world of "The Lord of the Rings" and even forgot the way home.

【It is both a beautiful and grand fantasy novel and a vivid and wonderful literary work. 】

This is the final evaluation of the "Lord of the Rings" series by World Literature Weekly. Even though there are two subsidiary works "The Hobbit" and "The Silmarillion" that have not been released, these two works will be bundled and released together after the new year!

Even if it is a prequel, for today's Lao Zei fans, they will definitely buy it home to collect.

After reading the last part of "Lord of the Rings" overnight, Ye Zhiyuan posted on his blog:

"This world is full of great kings and knights, elves, dwarves and wizards, as well as ordinary humans, fighting, death, darkness and despair, and heroic stories that are worth singing and crying. In the end, although the Lord of the Rings won the war, it can make people feel the sadness of the hero's twilight, which can be savored for a long time."

As Lin Qiu's number one fan, Ye Zhiyuan will read and study any work of Lin Qiu and Lao Zei as soon as it comes out.

Different from the views of many Xiazhou readers, Ye Zhiyuan thinks this will be a handed-down Western fantasy work, an epic masterpiece!

The more I read to the end, the more reluctant I am to let go. Like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the story of "Lord of the Rings" also reveals the ruthlessness of history, even if it has become a legend familiar to everyone in front of the fire.

That adventure, that story of Frodo and his friends, has finally become the dust of time, and disappeared with the ship that crossed the west.

From the plot point of view, this is indeed a conventional Western fantasy story of heroic victory, but thousands of readers thought that they would have the pleasure of revenge after reading it, but defeating evil does not mean that everything will be better.

Sorrow but not sadness, sadness but not sorrow.

Although the ring was destroyed, Frodo's mission was actually a failure. He lost to his own desire at the last moment, and his injuries were completely healed in Middle-earth, and he had to travel far away.

After the Hobbits returned home, there were no flowers and cheers as imagined, only some frustrating troubles.

Perhaps this is the more realistic situation.

In the end, Frodo's departure was like the entire trilogy, beautiful and sad.

…

For many excellent novels, it is actually impossible to read them repeatedly. After all, the plot is familiar, and the freshness and fun of reading them again will be reduced a lot.

But "The Lord of the Rings" is different. The first part has strange and magnificent scenery along the way, the second part has various strange species and nations, and the third part has a faint sadness on the way home and after returning home. Every time you read it, you will have a different feeling.

And because of the overall style and various poems, the language will be relatively obscure. Reading it again, combined with the map given in the third book, and reading it according to the map, you can feel the charm of "The Lord of the Rings" even more!

But the biggest disadvantage...

That is...

It’s really too short! !

As an epic work depicting the world, the three novels are really limited in what they can accumulate.

After reading the book, readers are eager to understand the world of elves, tree people, and dwarves. The attraction of these alien worlds is no weaker than the ups and downs of the story.

The influence of this work needs to be tested over time. Regardless of whether it meets the readers' reading tastes, we have to admit that this is an excellent and great work.

To use the words of teacher Zhu Xiahua to evaluate, that is:

"In the book "The Lord of the Rings", every mountain, every water, every plant and every tree can be said to be described in detail and lifelike. Each language is not improvised, but has its own origin, law and evolution. Each race is not something that comes easily, but each has its own origin, culture and heritage.”

"In today's fast-paced reading era, it is a rare and great work."

…

Teacher Zhu Xiahua also expressed in the interview that he is looking forward to Lao Zei's next official work and hopes to continue this traditional literary classic.

"Am I also a little impetuous?"

In the small town, Lin Qiu and Tang Anning cuddled up in Lin Qiu's childhood room.

Tang Anning closed "Lord of the Rings" and for the first time, she couldn't read Lin Qiu's work.

"The story of this book is not strong. It can be said that the setting is greater than the plot. It is more about setting a classic benchmark for this kind of fantasy novel."

"As for the reading experience, personal tastes are different, and benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions."

Lin Qiu smiled slightly.

Appreciating novels is also subjective. "The Lord of the Rings" cannot be liked by everyone, especially for Lin Qiu's large number of female readers. Many female readers find it difficult to read, or even feel sleepy.

Regarding the animation and novel industries, Lin Qiu would not put his preferences before the reputation accumulated over time and history in his previous life. Among his previous works, there were also some amazing works that Lin Qiu did not particularly appreciate, but for most people As far as readers are concerned, excellence means excellence.

As for the charm of "The Lord of the Rings", just the epic feeling that other favorite novels cannot replicate is enough to be passed down for hundreds of years.

In previous lives, only "Game of Thrones" could come close to this type of novel.
