Chapter 1073 The Lord of the Rings Casting
Walking out of the dormitory quickly, Zhang Chu quickly placed the stack of books in his hand on the back seat of the car. Although he was exercising normally, he certainly had to be lazy.
He took out the books he needed today and put them in his backpack. He looked at his watch and found that there were only less than five minutes left before class. Fortunately, he knew the location of the class and started the car immediately.
In university campuses, especially in plain areas, there are a lot of bicycles. Every time it takes class or meal time, the bicycle army will be dispatched collectively.
After finally finding a parking space, Zhang Chu turned off the engine immediately, and quickly ran to the third floor of the stairs classroom with his bag.
The staircase classroom that could accommodate 200 people was already densely filled with people. He didn't find An Mi and Sun Ruiqi for a while, so he had to find an empty seat in the back row and sit down, intending to wait for it.
I just sat down and the class bell rang, and I really walked into the classroom with the ringtone.
There are many courses they will learn this year, such as Chinese rhetoric, Chinese folk literature, theoretical linguistics, modern Chinese prose research, ancient Chinese commentary history, etc., and a lot of elective courses.
The content of this course is now called "Comparative Literature".
The professor walked in with the ringtone. The professor, who looked in his forties, was full of literary atmosphere. If he changed into a long robe, he would become a male professor of literature and art in the Republic of China!
"Good morning, all of you, everyone looks a little tired. Please cheer up. What we want to learn today is the uninvited guest of literary research today, that is, comparative literature."
In the huge classroom, the male professor's voice was very loud, and even the last row could be clearly heard, making people worry about whether his throat and throat could withstand it.
"In the new century of knowledge and technology expansion and development, in today's world where economics and information are developing globally, some disciplines have declined or are declining. Many of them have been the former obvious studies, but now they are gone. More are the frequent changes and development and innovation of disciplines. For example, the theory of relativity founded by Einstein overthrew the cornerstone of classical physics... The situation of literature is not the same as these disciplines. Whether it is a large or a short poem, whether it is written in the past or now, as long as there is no barrier to language and writing and is literary, people will still read, appreciate and study them with relish.
However, the study of literature, just like the progress of human cognition and science, also needs to be inherited, developed or even changed. This is why students have to study comparative literature after learning literary disciplines such as literary history and literary theory!”
Professor Sun Jingyao stood alone on the stage, neither using PPT nor using blackboard writing, citing widely, connecting with real life, and telling the students about the causes and consequences of comparative literature.
He did not talk about what comparative literature was from the beginning, but briefly introduced the relevant situation to give students a global perspective.
Zhang Chu sat in the back row and listened very seriously. A good teacher would naturally bring the students into this subject, so it would be absolutely right to study more.
Although he is now worth a lot of money and has a savior system, it is very important to enrich himself.
Before we knew it, the first class passed quietly. When the bell rang, almost all the students were reluctant to leave. It was great to meet such an interesting teacher!
There are much fewer teachers in college than in high school. During ten minutes of breaks, two hundred students went to the toilet, chatted, and went to receive boiled water. The classroom became very lively.
Just as Zhang Chu was about to play with his cell phone for a while, a girl sitting in front of him suddenly turned around and asked curiously: "Zhang Chu, can you ask about something with you?"
"If I know and don't need to keep it confidential, I can tell you."
After all, he has been a classmate for two years and needs help from his classmates, but Zhang Chu did not refuse.
Xie Yao held her cell phone and said, "Just I just saw a Gua in a gossip WeChat official account, saying that the first actor was signed by the movie "The Lord of the Rings" and was about to let Dousen play the Elf Prince, right?"
"What? He's here to play the Elf Prince?"
Zhang Chu asked a question from the soul, not believing in this at all.
"It seems you don't know either? But this account is quite accurate. He has been told several times. If Dousen really can play this role, I must go to the cinema to support it!"
Dousen's full name is Tom Hiddleston. The most popular among Chinese female netizens is Loki in Thor, who is handsome, has long legs, and has a Cambridge academic master's character. He belongs to the third and fourth tiers in Europe and the United States, but is a top internet celebrity in China.
However, Zhang Chu shook his head and said, "I personally think this news may be fake. How could it be an ordinary marketing account to explode in Hollywood? Besides, Dousen's temperament does not match the Elf Prince at all."
If Dousen really wants to play the Elf Prince, how can the elf clan show its agility, elegance and handsomeness? It would be a headache. Anyway, Zhang Chu is not optimistic about this combination.
Xie Yao was extremely disappointed, "Ah, Bai was happy. Why is Dousen's resources so cruel? There is no good movie to look for him!"
Don’t think that the top students at Yan University will not chase stars or gossip, and the ears of the people around you are standing up high.
In top resources like "The Lord of the Rings", Frodo may not ascend, but as long as he can play the role of the Elf Prince well, it will inevitably become one of the highlights of the film.
On the earth, as soon as Orlando Bloom's shocking appearance appeared, audiences around the world agreed almost in unison. This is the legendary elf, this is the real handsomeness!
Among so many actors in the Lord of the Rings, Orlando's acting skills are relatively low, but they can't resist their high looks.
The three-part films started to explode, and then he partnered with Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and became the leading actor in "Dynasty of Heaven".
Unfortunately, no works with splashes appeared later. Their acting skills were not high and their appearance gradually faded. Before Zhang Chu was reborn, the elf prince had even come to China to star in a Chinese action movie, just relying on his old fortune.
In this world, Zhang Chu did consider continuing to let Orlando Bloom play the role of the Elf Prince. After checking, he found out that the actor was in his forties and probably could only play the role of the Elf Prince's father.
An Mi didn't know when he got to Zhang Chu. He squatted on the ground and happened to be parallel to the desk. "I also think he is not suitable to play the Elf Prince. So is there any progress in casting now? Will there be black people appear?"
"I don't know this either. I've been busy writing books recently and haven't contacted the Global side at all. I don't know any casting situation. I'll ask in a while."
In fact, Zhang Chu is also very curious about the casting situation of the Lord of the Rings. Good actors can make a movie.
In Tolkien's original work, the role of Legolas actually has very few scenes, but it has been magnified in the movie shot by Peter Jackson and has added many scenes.
The role of Legolas did play a box office hit later. In addition to Leonardo, the male actors who became popular all over the world in the years, they also played Orlando, who became Legolas.
To this day, many people don’t know the name of Orlando, and they only use the Elf Prince to call him.
So why is this character popular all over the world?
Very simple.
That's the appearance!
The Elf Prince inside is not very popular. He is a member of the ordinary ring guard team. He belongs to the fourth or even the fifth male. He is far inferior to Frodo, Aragon, Gandalf, and Sam.
However, after the movie version came out, the character's appearance hit the hearts of thousands of viewers, and the elf's appearance came with a bonus of appearance.
Although Dousen has played the second male lead in Thor, if he can become a supporting actor in a movie of the Lord of the Rings, fans will be extremely happy.
Unfortunately, Xie Yao himself knew that there was no news from Hollywood. How could a Chinese media get accurate news? It was just that marketing accounts were spreading fans.
Maybe the news about that official account is not as good as it is, at least it can contact the author. The author with the title of film producer should be more credible.
"This movie is too mysterious. The director's name has been announced now, and there is nothing else. Lao Zhang, what I care most about now is who will act Aragon or Gandalf. Netizens have already slapped many actors."
It is true that Anmi likes "The Lord of the Rings", but she doesn't like it so much that she forgets to eat and sleep.
Zhang Chu spread his hands helplessly: "If I were in Hollywood now, there would definitely be insider news. But in China, the news I got was what Universal wanted me to know. Now wait for peace of mind. I guess the casting director is busy, and news should come one after another soon."
He did not tell An Mi and others all the truth, for example, he would definitely know the cast before the outside world, because only by nodding can the crew officially sign a contract with the actors, otherwise it would conflict with Zhang Chu's contract.
Now Universal Pictures has not come to the door yet, proving that they have not reached an agreement with the agency behind the actor, otherwise they will not be able to avoid him at all!
"To be honest, although the topic of political correctness has been abused, I think it's best not to have black elves in the Ring. Even a yellow-skinned elves are unacceptable to me." A classmate next to him joked: "I don't advocate white people, but this will indeed destroy my imagination. If I arrange a few Asian actors in the human race, I think it's OK."
"Maybe you won't be able to see the skin color gap between these actors by then."
Zhang Chu felt a little clear-headed. He must not let black people play orcs or strong orcs, as they will definitely cause trouble. He was criticized by the Virgin Mary before, and it would be even more miserable.
