The Lord of the Rings
Beijing time on March 28th news, according to foreign media reports, more The Lord of the Rings movies are coming. David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Exploration, announced that Warner Bros. has once again won the right to remake Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit. The contract includes several new films based on this series of novels, which will be developed by Warner’s new brand line.
Prior to this, Warner+New Line released the famous The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy of China-Turkey IP. This time, they signed a contract with Embracer Group AB, a Swedish game company, which won various development rights of The Lord of the Rings IP from Saul Zaentz Group last year, including movies, games, surrounding areas, theme parks and live performances.
The Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy literary work created by J R R Tolkien, a professor and linguist at Oxford University in England. This story was originally a sequel to Tolkien’s early children’s fantasy novel The Hobbit (1937), but with the development of the story, it gradually became magnificent. Most of this work was completed from 1937 to 1949, which is about the same as that during World War II, so some people believe that this work was also influenced by this war in some ways. The Lord of the Rings is a best-selling book, with more than 150 million copies sold in different editions.
Due to the shortage of paper after World War II, the book was published in three volumes, so it is often mistaken for a "trilogy", which is widely known as the The Lord of the Rings trilogy today. They are called The League of the Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Each of them is published in two volumes and contains relevant background information. Since then, The Lord of the Rings has been translated into many languages and redrawn many times, becoming one of the most influential fantasy literature works in the 20th century.
The original title of this story, "The Lord of the Rings" (Lord of the Rings), points out the main villain-the fallen god Sauron, who created a ring to dominate other rings and used it as the ultimate weapon to fight against and even rule Middle-earth. The story begins in the quiet Shire, a Hobbit home similar to the English countryside, which spans the whole Midlands with the battle for the Lord of the Rings. The protagonists include frodo baggins the Hobbit, Samwise Ganmuqi, meriadoc brandybuck, Pippin and their companions Aragon the Ranger, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf and Gandalf the Wizard.
The writing themes, backgrounds and origins of Tolkien’s many works have been extensively studied. Despite adding a lot of knowledge, The Lord of the Rings’s plot is actually only the last link in Tolkien’s vast epic since 1917, and he claimed that the type of the epic was "myth creation". The factors influencing The Lord of the Rings come from philosophy, myth, religion, opposition to industrialization, the author’s early works and the two world wars. It is generally believed that The Lord of the Rings had a great influence on modern fantasy works, and the word "Tolkien School" was even included in the Oxford English Dictionary.
The enduring popularity of The Lord of the Rings has brought a series of influences and references to popular culture. Tolkien fans have created many communities and published a large number of books about Tolkien and his works. The Lord of the Rings is constantly producing different works, such as art illustrations, music, movies, television, radio dramas, video games and fan articles.
Tolkien originally intended to assemble a book for publication, but his idea failed to come true because of the shortage of paper after World War II. In the end, the novel can only be published in three volumes: The Lord of the Rings, The League of the Rings, The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.
Because of the wide distribution of the three novels, this work is often called the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but strictly speaking, its conception is a complete work.
Long before the story begins, the dark Lord Sauron forged the Supreme Lord of the Rings in 1600, the second era, in order to control other magic rings held by humans, elves and dwarves. In the second century, in 3441, Sauron was defeated in the final alliance battle between elves and human beings. isildur, the son of elendil, cut off the Lord of the Rings in his hand, claiming that it was his family heirloom. Isildur later died under the arrows of orcs, so the Lord of the Rings fell into the Anduin River and disappeared from the historical records. Two thousand years later, the Lord of the Rings was discovered by the Hobbit Dego, who was later killed by his relatives and friends Smeagol, and the Lord of the Rings changed hands for the third time. Smeagol was then expelled from his original home and had to hide at the foot of the misty mountains. There, the Lord of the Rings transformed Smeagol into a twisted and degenerate creature, Gulum.
Gulum could not escape the fate of losing the Lord of the Rings. In The Hobbit, the process that the Lord of the Rings changed hands with bilbo baggins was recorded. At the same time, Suo solemnly picked up the body of the flesh and returned to his original base-Modo. Gulum was found and captured by Sauron when he set out to look for the Lord of the Rings. Sauron learned from him that bilbo baggins was the current holder of the ring, and Gulum was later released. Sauron, who needed the Lord of the Rings to regain his great cause, sent his dark men to quit the spirit to find its whereabouts.
The novel began in the Hobbit’s hometown-Shire, and frodo baggins inherited the "Lord of the Rings" from his uncle and guardian, Bilbo. Neither of them knows the origin of the ring or its powerful power. Gandalf, the wizard in grey robe, knew the history of the ring and instructed Frodo to take the Lord of the Rings to the territory of Ehrlund, the elf king, to listen to his advice. Frodo then left the shire with his gardener Sam Janji, two younger cousins, peregrin took and meriadoc brandybuck.
On the way, the hobbits almost met the nazgul, but they immediately fled into the old forest to get rid of the entanglement. In the Woods, they are helped by the powerful tom bombadil, a mysterious figure on whom the Lord of the Rings plays no role. After leaving Lim, they met Aragon, a isildur descendant and nicknamed "The Wanderer", in a small town called Bree. Aragon joined them here as a guide to protect and guide the Hobbits. A group of people left quietly after the attack in the town, but the nazgul followed closely behind, and even stabbed Frodo with a cursed magic cave sword on the top of the cloud. As Frodo’s injury became more and more serious, Aragon led the Hobbits to seek asylum in rivendell. All the way to the Brunan Ferry of the Loud River, the nazgul attacked again, but at this time, the Lord of rivendell, Ehrlund, controlled the flood to drown the nazgul and saved the squad.
A group of people were taken to rivendell, and Frodo recovered under the care of Ehrlund. At the subsequent meeting in Ehrlund, representatives of all parties discussed a lot of history related to Sauron and the Lord of the Rings, and even the news that Sauron tried to buy off the white wizard Saruman. During the meeting, people learned that Sauron was a powerful threat, and only by bringing the Lord of the Rings back to its casting place-Mount Doomsday could it be destroyed. Frodo volunteered to take the ring. In order to accompany and protect Frodo, the "Lord of the Rings Expedition" was born, which was composed of Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragon, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf and Boromir, the son of Denethor, the Regent of Gondor.
After trying to cross the misty mountains at the foot of Kalanlas, the expedition was diverted to Moria Mine, where it was attacked by orcs. Gandalf helped everyone escape and blocked the ancient and terrible efreet by himself, but he fell into the abyss of Turin and fell. The rest of the team entered the golden forest and took refuge in Roslorian. With the ships and gifts given to them by the elf queen Galadriel, the expedition crossed the Anduin River and came to the Amundham Hill. Boromir succumbed to the temptation of the Lord of the Rings here and tried to take it for himself from Frodo. Frodo had the idea of leaving the team, but Sam didn’t want to leave his friend and insisted on walking with him, so they left the team and set foot on the road to Modo. At the same time, the orcs who were ordered by Sauron and Saruman attacked the expedition, killed Boromir and kidnapped Merry and Pippin.
Aragon, Gimli and Legolas decided to follow the footsteps of the powerful orcs into the kingdom of arhat. On the edge of Fagong forest, Merry and Pippin escaped while the Lohan attacked the powerful orcs, and hid in the forest, where they became friends with the tree people. Aragon, Gimli and Legolas didn’t find Hobbits in Fagon Forest, but found Gandalf, a white wizard who was resurrected from the battle of efreet and became more powerful. Gandalf informed them that the Hobbit was safe, so the four of them went to the residence of Theoden, the king of Lohan, to rescue him from Saruman’s deception and hypnosis. Theoton, together with Aragon, Gimli and Legolas, built a defense in Helmet Valley, while Gandalf rode to find more troops. Helmet Valley was surrounded by a strong orc army in Saruman, but Gandalf immediately brought back reinforcements and defeated the strong orcs.
Shuren and Hoon attack Isengard, trapping Saruman in Osankta. Gandalf, theoden and his party immediately came to Ethan Garde to negotiate with Saruman. Saruman refused to admit his mistake. Gandalf had to take away his position and great power. Merry and Pippin finally returned to the team. But curious Pippin peeked at the Crystal Ball, a tool for Saruman to exchange messages with Sauron-a move that made Sauron think that Saruman had caught the Lord of the Rings holder, so Gandalf had to take Pippin to Gondor.
On their way to Modo, Frodo and Sam caught Gulum, who had been following them since Moria, and asked him to lead them into Modo. Knowing that the Modo Gate was impassable, Gulum proposed to move on from a little-known path. But Gulum betrayed Frodo and took him to Silesiango, the fortress of the giant spider corpse. After being bitten by a corpse, Frodo seems to be dead. But Sam defeated the corpse by himself. Sam took the ring and forced himself to leave his master. Orcs found Frodo’s body, and Sam discovered that Frodo was actually unconscious, not really dead. Frodo was then taken to the tower of Silesia Angkor, and Sam was determined to save him.
Sauron sent troops to attack Gondor, and Gandalf went to Minas Tirith to warn Denethor. Minas Tirith was under siege, and Dineser committed suicide in despair under the influence of Sauron under the supervision of another crystal. Aragon, Legolas and Gimli led to Gondor by the way of the dead, where Aragon gathered a group of undead troops who had broken their promise to isildur and could not cross over, and asked them for help in the name of isildur’s descendants to lift their ancient curse. This ghost army helped him defeat the Amba pirates who constantly invaded South Gondor. The liberated South Gondor joined the Lohan cavalry and saved the besieged Minas Tirith in the battle of Palano Plain.
Sam rescued Frodo, and they continued their journey to Modo. Near the end of the mountain, Frodo’s body is getting weaker and weaker, and Sam has been helping him. At the same time, in the fierce battle in front of the black gate of Modo, the Gondor-Lohan allied forces desperately fought against an amazing number of Sauron troops, trying to divert Sauron’s attention from the doomsday mountains. The Hobbit finally came to the border of Mount Doom, but Frodo could not resist the temptation of the Lord of the Rings and pointed out that he was the owner of the ring. At this time, Gulum appeared again and competed with Frodo for the ring. Gulum bit off Frodo’s finger and the Lord of the Rings, but he fell into the volcano and died in the fire with the Lord of the Rings. When the Lord of the Rings was destroyed, Sauron was also annihilated, his army collapsed, his tower turned to powder, and the nazgul died. So far, the battle of the Lord of the Rings seems to be over. Aragon was named Eliza, the king of jarno and Gondor, and married the love of his life-alvin toffler, the daughter of Ehrlund.
At the same time, Saruman escaped from imprisonment and enslaved Charles. Four Hobbits who returned to their hometown rebelled and overthrew the rule of Saruman. Saruman died at the hands of his former servant Qiao Yan, and Qiao Yan was finally killed by the Hobbit archers. The Battle of the Lord of the Rings ended at Frodo’s door. Merry and Pippin were named heroes by people. Sam rebuilt the shire with a gift from Galadriel, and walked down the red carpet with Xiao Mei Caton. Frodo’s physical and mental injuries have not recovered. A few years later, accompanied by Gandalf, Bilbo and others, Frodo sailed westward from the shore of Grey Harbor to an overseas fairyland. After Xiaomei’s death, Sam passed the Red Book of the West to his daughter Irano, which recorded the adventure stories of Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry. As the last remaining Lord of the Rings holder in the world, Sam then sailed to the overseas fairyland in the west and finally reunited with Frodo.
