Chapter 1178 Mythical Hero
Even though the crew was filming the scenes of Hobbiton at this time, Ian McClane, who played Gandalf and Christian Bale, who played Gandalf, were on the set.
They need to cooperate with these actors and conduct martial arts training at the same time.
Both characters are very important in the movie, and they cannot do without either.
Although McLean did not wear a mage robe, his image had already seen a hint of charm.
Christian Bale is like a rubber man. He can starve himself to skinnyness in a short period of time, and can also make himself big belly and even quickly become a body of tendon meat in a few months. He can be regarded as a model of industry dedication!
"I'm glad to see you. I've been wondering who can write such a great work as "The Lord of the Rings". It's such a good book." Christian Bale has a beard and short hair, so it's convenient to wear a wig at that time.
The crew prepared fifty pants for Aragon’s wigs alone, and each one would be treated with oily and moist.
I guess the audience will feel that he never washes his hair after watching three movies.
Zhang Chu looked at the book held by Christian Bale and smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, do you like this character?"
"Of course, I think Aragon is like a hero in ancient Greek mythology. I have loved heroes very much since I was a child, and I can also play this time, so that my children can see what heroes should look like."
"The Lord of the Rings" runs through an invisible theme from beginning to end, that is, the restoration of Gondor!
Gondor is the leader of the human world, and the king of Gondor is naturally the legendary king of the common master of human beings.
Unfortunately, the king made a big mistake before, and the royal family members declined, leaving only the regent to rule.
Aragon is the heir to the declining royal family. Although he is a prince, he is just an ordinary person, and he can even be said to be a ranger.
But this ranger did not waste his talent. His strategy, courage and courage were very extraordinary. He had a high prestige among elves, dwarves and human high-level officials.
"It's good that you like it. I'm also worried that you think this character is too simple."
The Christian Bale in Zhang Chu's impression seems to have rarely appeared in commercial movies in recent years. He basically practiced his acting skills in art films and would never give up until he won the Oscar!
He is actually a bit like another little Li Zi. He became famous at a young age, and then exploded with commercial movies, and then competed with the Oscar Little Golden Man.
But at this time Christian Bale already had a little Golden Man who was the best supporting actor at the Oscar, and just wanted to win the Best Actor.
He participates in the war almost every year and is a popular award every year, but he always passes by.
Although the movie "The Lord of the Rings" is very likely to be a big hit in the Oscars, it hardly wins an actor. Not to mention winning an award, nominations are very difficult.
In his previous life, Zhang Chu remembered that Ian McLean, who played Gandalf, was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Ring Guardian", and all the two movies were zero.
There is no doubt that the actors and roles in the movie are very compatible. Many characters are still talked about by people after more than ten years and have a lot of fans.
"There has never been a simple character, it just depends on whether you want to dig deeper into him." Christian Bale is a playboy. At this moment, he directly pulled Zhang Chu, who is not very familiar with him, to the side. "I just happened to have some experience with the role of Aragon. I want you to see if it is right."
When a good actor plays a role, he will never only consider the description in the script, but will think divergently from the perspective of the character and summarize his personality and standards of behavior.
Directors, screenwriters, original authors, and actors themselves will have different understandings of the same role, and none of them are absolutely correct.
Zhang Chu is also happy to communicate with this serious actor, as long as he can play Aragon well, it is enough!
"Let's sit down and say slowly, you said before that Aragon is a real hero, right?"
"That's right. In their small ring guard team, there are elves, humans, wizards, and hobbits. He is the only one who has never been tempted by the Lord of the Rings. He is very strong will, and at the same time he is clear-headed, has some responsibility, and has a strong personality charm."
"But he also wants his own human weakness, and the elf princess Erwin is his weakness. The recast of the King's Sword, as you can see from the novel you wrote, you should also create him as a hero in mythology, right?"
From the perspective of origin, Aragon was born into a royal family, with outstanding abilities and a strong romantic color.
Zhang Chu did not avoid this question, nodded and smiled, "In fact, this was arranged from the beginning. The heroes in myths generally have extraordinary origins or noble bloodlines. Swords are a weapon commonly used by heroes, and are also a necessary means to highlight heroic spirit and armed combat. In a sense, swords are actually power. When Aragon picks up the sword, it means recognition of his identity and the responsibility he will admit."
At the same time, the broken sword is recast like King Arthur pulling out the sword from a stone, and it is a strong sense of ritual!
The heroes holding the sword will definitely make extraordinary contributions, and their deeds will be chanted in every family.
On the way to send the Lord of the Ring to the Doomsday Volcano, Aragon was brave and resourceful, made great achievements and was loved by all the people.
Of course, Gao Daquan's heroic characters do not exist, and Aragon in the novel is just an ordinary human.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang Chu, we are about to start trying on makeup. Can you please come to the dressing room?" A middle-aged woman came over anxiously, worried that it would affect the dialogue between the producer and the male lead.
"Okay, I'll come here now. Christian, let's talk later?"
"No problem, see you later."
After Zhang Chu said goodbye to Christian Bale, he came to the temporary dressing room. He was going to play one of the elves.
But these elves left their hometown at the beginning of the story, preparing to cross the ocean and leave Middle-earth continent, and meet three hobbits in the woods.
Almost all the elves here are chosen models, especially the models in Nordic areas with extremely cold temperament, just like elves!
The makeup artist stained Zhang Chu's ears with a pointed prosthesis, and began to highlight the face, then put on a brown wig cover. Even his clothes were covered with wide robe and long sleeves. When he walked, his clothes were fluttering, and he actually had a fairy spirit.
The other elves, including the Elf Princess and the Elf Queen, have been specially trained by special etiquette teachers. They have requirements for walking, walking, speaking, and speaking. They will never lower the standards just because there is only one shot.
Zhang Chu was not inferior at all when standing among a group of thin models, and he also had a special line to say hello to Frodo in elf language!
