Chapter 343 The Elf Prince Who Came Out of the Comic Book!

The news of Zhou Yang winning an Oscar quickly spread on social media, with friends leaving messages of congratulations.

"#Xu Shanzheng: Congratulations to Zhou Yang! He's become the first Chinese Oscar winner, a source of pride for China!#"

"#Brother Hu: Great news! You have to treat us to a meal when you get back, and we have to have at least ten parties! Hahaha!#"

"#Nazha: The boss is amazing! The first Oscar winner, the pride of China! #Excited (emoji) #Overjoyed (emoji)#"

"#Dilraba: Well deserved! Absolutely amazing! The pride of Chinese actors!#"

"..."

As actors, they know how difficult it is to embark on the road to an Oscar.

First, one must stand out in the dazzling lights of Hollywood and achieve great success, which is like climbing mountains for non-Western actors.

Therefore, they sincerely sent their heartfelt blessings to Zhou Yang.

The following day, Zhou Yang, holding the trophy, boarded a plane bound for China.

Back home, Fatty Di and Zhang Jingyi immediately greeted Zhou Yang warmly, each giving him a sweet kiss.

"My dear, your brilliance is dazzling! As the first Chinese artist to receive an Oscar, you truly deserve it!" Dilraba's eyes sparkled with brilliant light.

At this moment, Zhou Yang's image was incredibly tall in her eyes, as steady as a towering pillar.

Every woman harbors a deep-seated admiration for strong individuals; this is a trait rooted in her genes.

"I'm just a supporting character, not the main character," Zhou Yang said, waving his hand.

"We need to take it one step at a time. We believe that you will be the protagonist next year," Zhang Jingyi encouraged from the side.

Zhou Yang felt a surge of warmth in his heart; it was his lover who had always supported him.

The next day, Zhou Yang suddenly received a call from Peter Jackson.

"Zhou Yang, you're amazing! You've just been announced as the Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor!" Peter Jackson was the first to congratulate Zhou Yang.

"Haha, thank you so much for your congratulations, Director," Zhou Yang replied with a smile.

Then, Peter Jackson got to the point: "Zhou, post-production on the film 'The Lord of the Rings' is now complete."

"So fast?" Zhou Yang was slightly surprised, then asked curiously, "Shouldn't we start a full-scale promotional campaign?"

For a big-budget film like The Lord of the Rings, global promotion is essential.

"It starts the day after tomorrow, so you can fly directly to the United States tomorrow."

"Ok."

After ending the call, Zhou Yang couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. The life of an international actor always requires traveling all over the world.

The next day, accompanied by the lingering gazes of the two goddesses, Zhou Yang set off again for the United States, where he began a intensive global promotional campaign with the crew of "The Lord of the Rings".

Although Zhou Yang is not the main character this time, given that he just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, reporters will ask him questions during the promotional period.

A week later, The Lord of the Rings released its first trailer globally.

The trailer primarily showcases the grand and spectacular scenes of Middle-earth in the film, as well as some combat scenes between the main characters.

In the trailer, besides the breathtaking Middle-earth, the most dazzling character is the Elf King, played by Zhou Yang.

His handsome face, paired with long platinum blonde hair, skillful archery, and cool fighting style, instantly attracted the attention of all movie fans.

Wow! This guy looks incredibly handsome!

"My God! I swear, he's the most handsome man I've ever seen!"

"Handsome and talented, is he even human?" "I heard he's the actor who plays the Joker, but I never expected him to be so handsome!"

"The Elf Prince is incredibly handsome!"

"So handsome and cool!"

"..."

Western women have always been reserved about the looks of East Asians, but they couldn't help but fall for Zhou Yang's charm.

The phrase "the actor who played the Elf Prince" even topped the Google search rankings at one point.

Even Peter Jackson couldn't have imagined that after the release of the Lord of the Rings trailer, the most attention-grabbing thing would be Zhou Yang's good looks.

"Zhou, it seems I wasn't wrong about you, haha."

Peter Jackson said to Zhou Yang with a grin.

Zhou Yang shrugged and calmly replied, "They are indeed a bit shallow. I just hope everyone can see my acting skills."

"roll!"

The other main actors in the film took turns giving Zhou Yang the middle finger.

If they caused such a sensation because of their good looks, they would be overjoyed.

A week later, the film was released globally.

Peter Jackson and other creative staff went to a theater in Los Angeles, USA, to watch the premiere with the audience.

In order not to disrupt the opening of the movie, Zhou Yang and others chose to quietly enter the theater a dozen seconds before the movie started and sit in the first row.

On the screen, the movie slowly unfolds.

A unique fire rises from a hearth, and then the film's narrator begins to reveal the film's historical background.

"In that distant time, when the One Ring was forged, three rings were given to the Elves, a race of immortal wisdom, who were bestowed with this special gift; the Dwarves received seven rings, skilled in mining and cave artisans; and the Humans received nine rings, for their lust for power was extraordinary."

“Each ring possesses the power to control the will and strength of all beings, yet they all ultimately fell into a web of deception, because one was secretly forged.”

"In the flames of Mount Doom in Mordor, the Dark Lord Sauron secretly forged the One Ring, a ring capable of enslaving the world! He imbued it with evil, cruelty, and a terrible desire to rule over all things; it is a One Ring that can control everything!"

"In Middle-earth, with Sauron's invasion, one beautiful land after another fell, but people still stood up, uniting into the final alliance of elves and men to fight against the evil forces of Mordor..."

On the big screen, a series of magnificent images flashed by, accompanied by majestic background music, which gave the audience a tremendous shock!
"Wow! This opening is so exciting! It really gets my blood pumping and my heart pounding!" the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's so shocking!"

"This is not just a movie, this is a true epic!"

"Both the visuals and the music are top-notch! It's fantastic!"

"This scene leaves me speechless..."

In the breathtaking visuals, the One Ring changes hands repeatedly, finally reaching the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins five centuries later.

Then, Gandalf appeared and entered the Shire, the home of the hobbits. Gazing at the beautiful living environment, the audience expressed their envy.

"Is this some kind of paradise on earth? It's so beautiful!"

"This looks like it's been enhanced with special effects. How could such a stunning place exist in reality?"

"The director once said that 99% of the scenery is real, so it's probably not fiction..."
