From Taoist Priest to Best Actor

Chapter 27

"The Lord of the Rings" had been previewed for three months.

This showed how much importance the New Line attached to this film.

However, it was obvious that no one would ignore an investment of nearly three hundred million US dollars. Even the six major Hollywood studios were not so rich as to not take three hundred million US dollars seriously, let alone New Line Cinema, which focused on low-budget independent productions.

Therefore, it was understandable that "The Lord of the Rings" started its promotion so early. After all, this film was tantamount to a desperate battle for the New Line. If "The Lord of the Rings" failed, and the box office was not high,

Then the New Line did not have the courage to make another big investment like "The Lord of the Rings".

The previous three months of sweeping promotion for "The Lord of the Rings",

Had already built a good audience base for it.

At least most Americans already knew that a big production would be released during the Christmas holiday.

And for the fans of "The Lord of the Rings" who were Tolkien's fans,

This was something worth cheering for.

They had been looking forward to "The Lord of the Rings" turning into a movie for a long time. They wanted to see the mysterious and fantastical Middle-earth shown on the big screen.

They wanted to see their favorite characters in "The Lord of the Rings" appear in real life in front of them.

The most extensive information that was previously revealed in the promotion of "The Lord of the Rings" was just stills of the main characters. For the fans who were thirsty for more information about "The Lord of the Rings", it was tantamount to trying to quench their thirst by drawing a cake to appease their hunger.

They longed for more information about "The Lord of the Rings".

However, the staff responsible for the promotion of "The Lord of the Rings" were not embroidered shelves. They certainly knew how to arouse the audience's desire to watch the movie. Previously, they only released stills to keep the fans in suspense.

How to release the stills so that the audience would not lose their enthusiasm for "The Lord of the Rings" was a very particular matter.

Therefore, after nearly three months of losing the audience's appetite, "The Lord of the Rings" was finally going to release its first promotional video.

And this was also the reason why Peter called Xie Yi and the others over today.

The New Line held a special press conference for the first trailer of "The Lord of the Rings".

They also called in reporters of all sizes from Hollywood.

This was to promote the release of "The Lord of the Rings".

The next half a month until the release of "The Lord of the Rings" was the most intensive period of promotion for "The Lord of the Rings".

In the first three months, the audience was made aware of the existence of this film. In the following half a month, the audience would truly know about this film.

For this reason, the New Line had produced three trailers for "The Lord of the Rings." Today, only the first trailer would be released. The other two would be released at random times over the next two weeks. Most importantly, the New Line promised that the top ten viewers would be given free tickets to the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" after the trailer was released. One had to admit that the New Line's plan had piqued the curiosity of the audience.

Until now, there had never been a film with such a novel method of promotion. Most importantly, it got the audience to participate in the promotion excitedly. The topic of the top ten viewers being given free tickets to the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" became the hot topic of discussion on Christmas Eve.

The audience didn't necessarily lack the money for the movie tickets, but something that was free and competitive was always more attractive. Not to mention, this was a ticket to the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings". This was something that couldn't be bought with money. Most importantly, they could catch a glimpse of "The Lord of the Rings" before its official release. This was the most important thing for the fans of "The Lord of the Rings".

However, this was all for another day. After all, today was only the release of the first trailer for "The Lord of the Rings".

After Peter went on stage to give a brief speech, the press conference for "The Lord of the Rings" officially began. After all, the media and reporters were more concerned about the content of the trailer.

It had to be said that the publicity plan formulated by "The Lord of the Rings" not only attracted the attention of the audience, but it also attracted the attention of the media and reporters who boasted of being at the forefront of entertainment news. They couldn't wait to see what Peter Jackson had made "The Lord of the Rings".

Whether it was good or bad, they couldn't help but write a close-up on the paper.

However, they still had to be patient at this moment because the host who went on stage after Peter actually stood on stage and spoke for more than ten minutes without stopping.

Damn it, doesn't he know that we're waiting anxiously?

Even Peter only spoke for two to three minutes before leaving the stage. This newbie host stood on stage and spoke confidently for more than ten minutes, and it looked like he was going to continue. It seemed like he shouldn't be hosting a press conference. He was more suitable to participate in a talk show. Even if he was alone, he could probably go on for half an hour.

Fortunately, the newbie host on the stage seemed to have sensed the anger of the media reporters at the scene. Finally, he announced the official start of the press conference.

Hearing his words, all the media and reporters couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was finally done!

"Peter, it seems that this host is very good at attracting hatred."

Xie Yi heard the change in the breathing sounds around him and raised his eyebrows slightly. He smiled and said to Peter, who was sitting next to him.

"Hehe, this is the host arranged by the publicity team. They probably have some other plans."

Peter tilted his head and whispered to Xie Yi. He didn't dare to let the surrounding media hear his words. Otherwise, the one attracting hatred wouldn't be the host, but the crew.

"So that's how it is."

Xie Yi nodded in understanding. This publicity team was really 'bad'. They actually arranged for people to make the media and reporters lose their appetite at this time.

However, Xie Yi had to admit that this method was indeed very effective. At least, there was some noise in the venue at the moment. Everyone was seriously waiting for the next promotional video of "The Lord of the Rings" to be broadcasted. They didn't dare to make any more mistakes that would affect the release of the promotional video.

However, perhaps the people in the publicity team also knew that they could not blindly keep people in suspense. They had to give a sweet date to eat after giving a stick. In short, there were no more problems to challenge the patience of these media reporters, and the promotional video was broadcast smoothly.

The beautiful scenery of New Zealand was edited to form the scenes of Middle Earth in "The Lord of the Rings". It was fantastic and magnificent, majestic and spectacular. The short Hobbit, the white-robed wizard Gandalf, the down-and-out ranger Aragon, the beautiful elf and the short and fat Gimli, and the ugly army of Sauron. In short, accompanied by a burst of passionate music, the short few minutes of "The Lord of the Rings" promotional video shocked everyone in the broadcast hall at this time.

Even Xie Yi, who had personally experienced the above scenes, couldn't help but feel a sense of shock after watching the video. It turned out that "The Lord of the Rings" after post-production was so shocking.

It had to be said that Peter Jackson was truly a great director. He had brought the Middle-earth in "The Lord of the Rings" to reality, allowing everyone to see the mysterious, vast, and fantastical Middle-earth.

"This is really a wonderful and strange dream journey. People can't help but be immersed in the Middle Earth created by Tolkien."

A reporter with a "San Francisco Times" logo in front of him couldn't help but praise after the promotional video.

"Yes, Peter perfectly filmed the Middle Earth described by Tolkien. I believe that the fans of" The Lord of the Rings "will be grateful to Peter."

A reporter from "Entertainment Weekly" said excitedly, but from his words, it could be inferred that this reporter was also a fan of "The Lord of the Rings".

At this time, all the media reporters present were almost in the same state of amazement. This was simply incredible. Peter actually made "The Lord of the Rings" so dreamlike, just like the real world described by Tolkien.

Peter, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but smile when he heard this. To be honest, he was very happy to hear this.

He put too much effort into "The Lord of the Rings". Just the script alone, he discussed it with Tolkien and Fran for three years. They carefully considered every plot before making a final decision. Even the various locations in "The Lord of the Rings" were decided one by one after he traveled all over New Zealand.

"The Lord of the Rings" was like his child. He witnessed its birth, growth, and growth until today. The popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" was his greatest joy.

"Peter, congratulations. You've filmed 'The Lord of the Rings' well!" Xie Yi congratulated Peter from the bottom of his heart after watching the promotional video of "The Lord of the Rings".

"Thank you, Allen. I'm really happy. I'm very happy that everyone likes' The Lord of the Rings' so much. You know, before today, even when Fran told me that I filmed it well, and even when Tolkien said that I filmed the world he imagined after watching 'The Lord of the Rings', I was still worried because I was afraid that the audience wouldn't like my film and 'The Lord of the Rings'. But after seeing everyone's performance today, I feel that I may have underestimated myself. My 'The Lord of the Rings' is definitely the best!" Peter said confidently.

"Yes, Peter, you're definitely the best. Even though I knew that the scenes would change drastically after editing and post-production, I still can't believe that the finished production of 'The Lord of the Rings' is so fascinating. I'm starting to look forward to the day when 'The Lord of the Rings' is actually released," Viggo Mortensen said with a look of anticipation.

"When that time comes, I'll definitely be the most handsome Aragon. After all, I was so mesmerizing in the film just now."

"Hehe, the most handsome one in the film is Gandalf, okay?

White clothes, white robes, and a white horse. Under the cover of the Holy Light, he was like a god descending from the heavens. He led a large group of reinforcements to save you from being surrounded by Saruman's Uruk-hais, "Ian interjected humorously, interrupting Viggo Mortensen's boasting.

"Ian, you're still saying that I'm narcissistic? I feel that you're the most narcissistic person in the entire film crew. White clothes, white robes, god descending from the heavens? Ian, have you forgotten the fact that before you got on the horse, you tripped and turned your costume black?" Viggo Mortensen argued, unconvinced.

"Haha, stop arguing. Although Allen only appeared two or three times in this promotional video, I still feel that the Allen who fought against the mammoth alone is the most handsome!"

Ilha innocently stabbed Vigor and Ian in the heart, leaving Vigor and Ian looking at him with resentment. Would it kill him not to tell the truth?

After the press conference, the promotional video for "The Lord of the Rings" was released on the internet and attracted the attention of all the Hollywood media. Peter had made "The Lord of the Rings" too fantastical and mysterious. It was a perfect replica of the world in "The Lord of the Rings". It had truly brought the Middle Earth worshipped by the book's fans to the real world. In the short few minutes of the promotional video, the various characters in "The Lord of the Rings" had appeared. It had simply become the focus of all the book's fans' discussion recently.

"Peter is simply too amazing. He really restored the majestic and epic Middle Earth in the book!"

"Is the actor who plays Frodo a newcomer?

How come I've never seen this actor before? But his portrayal of The Hobbit is quite similar. I wonder how Peter filmed it? "

"The environment in New Zealand is so good. The scenery is so beautiful. I've decided to go to New Zealand this Christmas holiday. Who knows, I might be able to see the set of" The Lord of the Rings "."

"Aragon is so handsome. I love his unruly look!"

"Am I the only one who thinks that the white-robed Gandalf is the most handsome?

I really hope that the movie will be released soon. That way, we can see more of it. "

"I think the Elves are the most pleasing to the eye. The women are beautiful and the men are handsome. But don't you think that handsome Elven guy who fought against the mammoth looked very familiar?"

"Really?

I'm going to do it again. "

"It's actually true. He looked really familiar. But I haven't seen such a handsome guy recently. That arrow from his bow was like a cupid shooting me in the chest. I have no regrets even if I die!

Hahahaha. "

"I'm sorry, Prince Charming. I had to do it three more times before I recognized you. You actually became more handsome. This doesn't make sense. But can you share some of your handsomeness with me?"

"Me too. As a loyal fan of Prince Charming, I had to do it a few more times before I could confirm that it was really my Prince Charming. Could it be that Prince Charming has some kind of magical power that makes him more handsome with each movie?

From the handsome rookie spy in "The Fast and the Furious" to the heartwarming senior in "Legally Charming" to the picturesque The Elven Prince in "The Lord of the Rings". I just want to say that I also want to become more and more handsome like Prince Charming! "

"It can't be that they're talking about my Prince Charming Allen right?

I actually didn't recognize him. As a fan of Allen, I've failed in my duty. No, I have to watch all of Prince Charming's movies from the beginning again! "

"To the fans above, let me tell you a piece of good news. I actually managed to get a ticket to the premiere of" The Lord of the Rings ". Haha, your Prince Charming is mine. Also, the cute little The Hobbit, the cool Aragon, the wise and farsighted Gandalf are all mine!"

"I'm so envious and jealous of you. The person above is trying to make me hate you. I'm looking forward to the third trailer of" The Lord of the Rings "!

I hope that God will take care of me on account of my sincerity. I also want a ticket to the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings"! "

In short, ever since the press conference for "The Lord of the Rings", various topics about "The Lord of the Rings" had never stopped. Whether it was the director, Peter Jackson, the various characters who appeared in the trailer, or the filming location of "The Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand, they were all the hot topics of discussion.

In particular, the promotion team's promotion of giving the top ten free tickets to the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" was in full swing. The audience's enthusiasm was very high, and it was normal for them to pay attention to the official website of "The Lord of the Rings" and wait for the trailer to be released. After all, "The Lord of the Rings" trailers were released at random times. Being able to grab one of the top ten spots was definitely a stroke of luck.

However, among these hot topics, the one who received the most attention was probably Xie Yi. Ever since someone recognized that The Elven Prince in the "The Lord of the Rings" trailer was played by Xie Yi, a large number of fans that Xie Yi had accumulated from "The Fast and the Furious" and "Legally Charming" finally had a new topic of discussion. That was, how did the Adonis become so handsome again? And how did they become as handsome and beautiful as the Adonis?

It had to be said that Xie Yi's portrayal of The Elven Prince in "The Lord of the Rings" was absolutely amazing. Otherwise, his fans wouldn't have become so active. There were even fans who commented on "The Lord of the Rings"'s official website, saying that after "The Lord of the Rings" was released, they would book all the theaters for Xie Yi to contribute to the box office.

"This is definitely a rich true love fan!" Arthur thought to himself after seeing this comment. Should he book all the theaters?

After all, Xie Yi was really the most worry-free artist he had ever managed.

But then, Arthur dismissed the idea. Even if he wanted to support him, he should support the movie starring Xie Yi. It wouldn't be too late for him to book all the theaters when "Another Lifetime Affair" starring Xie Yi was released.

After all, according to the current trend, "The Lord of the Rings" was bound to be a big hit. Naturally, there was no need to worry about the box office. However, "Another Lifetime Affair" was going to be released next year, and it was a low-budget literary film. The box office was still unknown. It was better not to add flowers to the brocade of "The Lord of the Rings". It was better to wait for "Another Lifetime Affair" to be released and increase the box office for "Another Lifetime Affair".

And just as Arthur had said, ever since the promotional video was released in December, "The Lord of the Rings" had taken over the Christmas slot and people's attention at lightning speed.

At the premiere ceremony on December 15, it conquered a series of picky film critics and media reporters. Everyone was amazed by the magnificent scenes, beautiful and picturesque scenes, and the magnificent soundtrack. The film's exploration of human nature, portrayal of friendship, and interpretation of justice made it impossible for people to say that "The Lord of the Rings" was bad.

It could be said that "The Lord of the Rings" had achieved both commercial and artistic success. Just like "Titanic" directed by James Cameron, no one could refute its success.

Just like "Titanic" was the unsurpassable peak of romantic disaster films, "The Lord of the Rings" would also be an epic magical masterpiece. It was the beginning of the magical genre.

After the official release after the premiere ceremony, the box office of "The Lord of the Rings" reached $47.21 million on the first day, and this was not even the weekend. It was believed that the box office of "The Lord of the Rings" would once again usher in a small peak during the rest days and Christmas holidays.

It could be said that "The Lord of the Rings" was definitely the most dazzling film of the Christmas season. Or rather, it could be said that "The Lord of the Rings" was the most dazzling film of the year. No other film could overshadow its brilliance. Even Ron Howard's "A Beautiful Mind", which was nominated for an Oscar, and Denzel Washington's "Training Day", which displayed his profound acting skills, could not divert the audience's love and enthusiasm for "The Lord of the Rings".

For this reason, the New Line had contacted 3,359 cinemas before the release of "The Lord of the Rings", a total of more than 5,000 screens. This was definitely a big deal in Hollywood. However, what the New Line didn't expect was that even with the additional number of screens after comparing the data, the number of screens could no longer meet the audience's demand in the middle of the release of "The Lord of the Rings".

This made the New Line more happy than surprised. After all, although they were surprised that "The Lord of the Rings" was so popular, the box office behind this demand was what they were happy about. They could already foresee how much they would reap in the box office.

The success of "The Lord of the Rings" also made the name Peter Jackson really famous. Everyone knew that he was the one who made "The Lord of the Rings" truly perfect.

The actors in the movie also made a big comeback and became famous almost overnight. The kind-hearted Frodo, the loyal Sam, the naive and mischievous Pippin, and the smart and brave Merry. Almost everyone had a good impression of the four small but smart and responsible The Hobbit.

The wise Gandalf, the brave Aragon, the excellent archery Legolas, and the strong and proud Gimli also attracted the audience's love. It could be said that the righteous characters in "The Lord of the Rings" had their own personalities and glorious sides. No audience would hate them.

And if there was anyone who was the most popular among them, it would undoubtedly be Xie Yi who played the role of Legolas The Elven Prince.

To be honest, Legolas was a character who easily attracted fans. After all, as an elf, he was good-looking, well-dressed, and had excellent archery and martial arts skills. He would stand up for his companions when they were attacked. So who wouldn't like such a good-looking and loyal character?

In particular, among the main actors in "The Lord of the Rings", Xie Yi was the most famous. The release of "The Fast and the Furious" and "Legally Blonde" had brought a huge wave of popularity to Xie Yi, and this wave of popularity was clearly reflected after the broadcast of "The Lord of the Rings".

Compared to the young and cute Ilha, the previously low-key Viggo Mortensen, and the old Ian, the audience obviously preferred the handsome and familiar Xie Yi.

"Allen, you're completely popular. It's really hard to imagine that Legolas can be so popular even though he doesn't have many scenes."

Arthur looked at the comments on the forum where fans endlessly praised Xie Yi. Even if he was thick-skinned, he was a little overwhelmed.

He still remembered that the last time he saw the entire Internet praising a person like this seemed to be when James Cameron's "Titanic" was released. At that time, the fans were as crazy about Leonardo Dicaprio as they were now.

And this was the second time he saw this scene, but it still felt unreal.

"It's really surprising, but isn't this something to be happy about?" Xie Yi's lips curled up slightly.

The system had already told him that the aura needed to build a foundation was enough. This was really delightful.

In the beginning, the reason why he chose "The Lord of the Rings" was because the character of Legolas was easy to attract fans. He really didn't expect that this character would be so popular and provide him with so much Strength of Faith, so much so that he even had enough aura to build a foundation.

"It's indeed something to be happy about, but I'll have to hire a bodyguard for you. After all, I don't want to see the scene of you being surrounded by fans one day." Arthur shrugged.

"Are you exaggerating?

I don't think that day will come. "

Xie Yi said confidently. After all, if he didn't want anyone to get close to him, it should be quite easy for him to break out of the encirclement before he was surrounded.

"That's hard to say." Arthur smiled meaningfully. Never underestimate the fighting power of true love fans.

"The Lord of the Rings" had already earned nearly 300 million at the box office in North America three days before its release. It wasn't hard to imagine that "The Lord of the Rings" would break the 300 million mark in North America.

"The Lord of the Rings" was also quite popular around the world. As the release date of "The Lord of the Rings" gradually approached, "The Lord of the Rings" lived up to expectations and earned nearly 600 million at the global box office. It could be said that the total box office of "The Lord of the Rings" had exceeded 800 million at the box office.

Faced with this result, New Line Cinema was overjoyed. This was only the first movie in the "The Lord of the Rings" series. There would be two more movies after that. Even if the box office of the other two movies was the same, they would still make a lot of money. Not to mention, with the foundation laid by "The Lord of the Rings", the box office of the next two movies would definitely be better than the first movie. How could New Line not be happy?

In Hollywood, one of the ways these movie companies expressed their joy was to hold a celebration party for the success of a movie. New Line was no exception. As early as when "The Lord of the Rings" broke the 200 million box office in North America, New Line was already planning this.

And the final result obviously didn't let New Line rejoice in vain. They had reaped a great success.

"So I have to attend the New Line's' The Lord of the Rings' celebration party three days later?" Xie Yi repeated after hearing Arthur's words.

"Yes, Allen. Three days later at 8 pm in Beverly Hills. I'll call your stylist team three hours in advance to come over and do your look. Be prepared then."

"In addition to the main creative team of" The Lord of the Rings ", New Line has also invited many powerful figures in Hollywood, famous directors, and many media reporters. So if nothing unexpected happens, this may be another networking event between the upper echelons of Hollywood before the Golden Globe Awards banquet.

At that time, I'll introduce you to some people I know, so if possible, your next script may be settled.

After all, even if the list of winners for the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars has not been decided yet, it's still the hottest movies now. In addition to these few movies, the other directors should also start preparing for next year's Oscars. "Arthur arranged the next itinerary in a rather decisive manner.

"Okay, I got it."

Xie Yi nodded. In that case, he still had two days, so he should take advantage of these two days to build his foundation first.

After all, nearly a month after "The Lord of the Rings" was released, the spiritual energy that Xie Yi had accumulated from the power of faith was enough for Xie Yi to build his foundation.

The Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation were obviously different levels of cultivation. Being able to enter the Foundation Establishment earlier meant that Xie Yi's current cultivation path had finally embarked on the right path. Xie Yi still attached great importance to this.

So after Arthur finished explaining everything and left, Xie Yi was ready to start his closed-door cultivation to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

In order to prevent being disturbed, Xie Yi also specially built a closed-door cultivation place for himself in the basement of the villa.

After a day and a night of closed-door cultivation, Xie Yi finally broke through the Qi Cultivation Stage and officially entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, after smelling the impurities discharged from his body because of the Foundation Establishment, Xie Yi couldn't help but cast a cleaning spell on himself. After coming out of the basement, Xie Yi couldn't help but go back to his room to take a shower. Although the cleaning spell's cleanliness was absolutely unquestionable, Xie Yi always felt uncomfortable if he didn't wash up.

After Xie Yi finished showering and changed his clothes, the sky was already a little dark.

The sky darkened quickly in winter. It was only five o 'clock, but the sky was already hanging with the sunset glow. He was afraid that the sky would be completely dark in half an hour.

However, Xie Yi was very happy today because he had finally entered the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although there was a more serious Gold Core Stage waiting for him, this couldn't stop his joy.

The reason why he could enter the Foundation Establishment Stage so quickly could be said that the role of "The Lord of the Rings" could not be ignored.

The screening of "The Lord of the Rings" attracted a lot of fans for him, and the fans' love for him contributed enough spiritual energy for him. This allowed him to be able to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage without worrying about whether the spiritual energy was enough to support his Foundation Establishment Stage needs.

Therefore, he was ready to take advantage of the fact that "The Lord of the Rings" had not been released yet to watch it again. No matter what, "The Lord of the Rings" was a great contributor to his advancement to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Moreover, he was happy today and was ready to relax for a night.

After making the decision, Xie Yi put on a full disguise. He couldn't be blamed for being so careful. It was really because the fans were too crazy.

He had confidently told Arthur that if he encountered such a situation, he would definitely break out of the encirclement before the fans trapped him. However, when he said that sentence, he had never thought that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

Although the screening of "The Lord of the Rings" had allowed the system to gain a lot of power of faith, and even Arthur had told him that "The Lord of the Rings" had attracted a lot of fans after its screening, he had never had a direct understanding of this. After all, he had not seen it with his own eyes. He really didn't dare to believe that there would really be people surrounding him.

However, just a few days ago, he had just gone to the supermarket to buy something as usual, and he was recognized by fans. In the end, they even surrounded him in the supermarket. After all, he hadn't paid before he was recognized by the fans. Even if he wanted to run, he couldn't run away. The supermarket wouldn't let him out.

Moreover, he didn't want to see headlines the next day such as "Shocking!

Allen didn't pay when he bought something "or" Why did Allen run to the supermarket? "

Such exaggerated news were not exaggerated by Xie Yi. It was just that the Hollywood news media had no integrity. In order to catch people's attention and attract people's attention, they were simply unscrupulous. What's more, it was just some sensational headlines, which were as simple as a drizzle to them.

Xie Yi chose the lesser of two evils. Compared to the exaggerated headlines such as "Allen didn't pay when he bought something" and "running to the supermarket", Xie Yi still chose a more elegant way of chatting with his fans and signing autographs. However, what Xie Yi didn't know was that after he finished signing autographs, the fans didn't leave. Instead, they called their friends and added a large number of new fans. It was only after Arthur saw the video posted by the fans on the Internet and saw the autographs that he learned that Xie Yi was trapped in the supermarket. In the end, he rescued Xie Yi.

And this incident also made Xie Yi ridiculed by Arthur for a long time. Xie Yi still remembered what Arthur said to him that day.

"You're stupid!

You should call me immediately when you encounter this kind of thing. "Arthur said anxiously after rescuing him from the fan group.

To be honest, although he also knew that Arthur's words were a little harsh because he was worried about him, Xie Yi still had a strange feeling in his heart. But rest assured, it was definitely not the kind of strange feeling that he liked. It was because no one had ever called him stupid in his more than five hundred years of life since he was a child!

So from the last time, Xie Yi deeply remembered one thing. That was, he must disguise himself well when he went out. He was determined not to be recognized by his fans. After all, he didn't want to be ridiculed by Arthur again. This incident was simply a disgrace to him. No one had ever called him stupid in his life, and the most important thing was that he couldn't refute it.

So this time, Xie Yi disguised himself to the extreme. He wore a long black wool coat, a scarf, a mask, and a pair of glasses with no degrees. It could be said that Xie Yi was simply a different person. Only Xie Yi was tall, so he didn't look strange.

And because it was winter now, Xie Yi's outfit didn't attract too much attention. After all, there were always people who were afraid of the cold and wrapped themselves up tightly.

Just like that, Xie Yi smoothly arrived at a cinema and bought a ticket.

Other than attending the movie premiere, Xie Yi had never been to a cinema, nor had he watched a movie in a cinema. So when he found the scene of "The Lord of the Rings", five minutes had passed since the beginning of the movie. Fortunately, the opening of "The Lord of the Rings" was quite long, so Xie Yi didn't miss anything. However, his seat was already occupied by a young couple. Perhaps because Xie Yi arrived a little late, they mistakenly thought that the seat was empty.

Xie Yi had no choice but to go to the back row to find a seat. Fortunately, "The Lord of the Rings" had passed its most popular period. Even though there were still many people in the cinema, because of the cold winter night, it was much better than the full day. At least Xie Yi found a few empty seats in the back row.

But looking at the intimate couples next to him, Xie Yi didn't want to interrupt. Not to mention that the more people there were, the more likely he would be exposed. He also didn't want to be a third wheel between the couples. Could it be that his trip to the cinema was ruined just like that?

Xie Yi looked around and thought silently.

But in the blink of an eye, Xie Yi found another person sitting alone in the corner without a companion. Most importantly, there was an empty seat next to him.

Xie Yi's eyes lit up when he saw the seat. This seat was much better than the other seats. Not only was it hidden, but there was only one person. Judging from the figure, it was a man. Generally speaking, men weren't too attentive. This also meant that Xie Yi could rest assured.

So Xie Yi turned around and walked toward that seat.

At this time, Leonardo, who was sitting in his seat, could only watch as a tall and elegant masked man walked toward him.

So, he took a fancy to the seat next to me?

Leonardo screamed in his heart. He knew he wouldn't be so lucky.

At first, he was bored at home and happened to see the news about "The Lord of the Rings". He remembered that "The Lord of the Rings" had been highly praised in the past month, and that there was someone he was interested in. So, he decided to watch it in the cinema.

After all, "The Lord of the Rings" was going to be released tomorrow. If he didn't watch it now, he would have to wait until it was released on DVD. Obviously, he didn't have that much patience, so he disguised himself and went out.
