Chapter 731 The Song of the Lonely Mountain

? “…

Far over the misty mountains cold

Over the cold misty mountains

To dungeons deep and caverns old

Until the deep ancient cave

e must aay 'ere break of day

We must leave before dawn

To find our long-; gold

To find the long-forgotten gold

The pines ere roaring on the height

Pine trees roar in the mountains

The inds ere moaning in the night

The cold wind moans in the night

The fire as red it; spread

The flames are red and spreading everywhere

The trees like torches ; ith light

branches like burning torches

…”

——Charlotte hummed,

But it was an episode of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" in his original time and space, called "Misty mountains".

Among the six films in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Hobbit" trilogy, there are two pieces of music that left the deepest impression on Charlotte -

One is the theme song of "Lord of the Rings 1", "May It Be" sung by Enya.

——It is an extremely cold piece of music that makes people feel like ice water pouring on them and makes their souls feel excited. Charlotte has always liked it.

And the other song is this song "Misty mountains".

If Enya's "May It Be" maximizes the coldness and penetrating power of the female voice, then this song "Misty Mountains", on the other hand, focuses on the deepness and sadness of the male voice.

——In the movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", it was a group of dwarves led by the protagonist Thorin Oakenshield who sang this song.

Their hometown, the Lonely Mountain, was occupied by the dragon Smaug, leaving them wandering around.

Therefore, this song has a sense of sadness.

However, Charlotte found it surprisingly pleasant.

He even specifically checked that the lyrics of this song were Tolkien's original work.

When it came to the filming of "The Hobbit", Peter Jackson specially found someone to adapt and compose this poem, which became the song "Misty mountains" and another song "The Song of the Lonely Mountain (Song of the Lonely Mountain)".

- Another song, longer and more faithful to Tolkien's original work, was used as the theme song for the movie "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey".

However, Charlotte still prefers the song "Misty mountains" which is used as an interlude in the movie.

He felt that this song, which started with a soft hum and could be sung acapella, was very suitable as a lullaby for Ovelia before going to bed.

——You know, because of her natural magical power and her growth rate, which is faster than that of ordinary children, this little girl, who is less than two years old, is already clamoring for stories every night.

And the bedtime story Charlotte recently told her was "The Hobbit"...

*********

"But this song is really good!"

After coaxing Ovelia to sleep, Charlize said to Charlotte,

"It's obviously a bit sad, but after listening to it, people feel very peaceful."

"That's why I use it as a lullaby!"

Charlotte smiled;

"Speaking of which, the original lyrics of this song were originally written by Tolkien as a bedtime story for his grandchildren!"

"That's true."

Charlize shrugged.

"But why do I feel like listening to a bard singing by a campfire in the wild every time I hear you sing this song?"

"It's like the song that adventurers sing when they get together in stories like "Dragonlance"?"

"Yes."

Charlize nodded.

"That's right!"

Charlotte smiled and said,

"What I want is this feeling!"

"So, you hired someone to compose the song and asked Peter Jackson to add this song to the episode of "The Lord of the Rings"?"

Charlize felt like she understood something.

"This is actually a test of the market, right? Don't you want to make an adaptation of "The Hobbit" as a prequel to the "Lord of the Rings" series now?"

"...This, Sally, you really think too much!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"I really just thought this song would be a good fit."

"Yeah?"

Charlize looked at Charlotte in confusion, and the latter put on an innocent expression.

"Sally, don't you believe me?"

"Of course I don't believe it!"

The South African girl nodded matter-of-factly.

This made Charlotte a little dumbfounded. He deliberately showed a sad expression.

"Sally, don't you love me anymore?"

"Loving you and trusting you are two different things!"

Charlize deliberately said with a sullen face, but in the end he couldn't help laughing.

"Who told you that you have such a bad record in this area? - At least, let alone relationships and life, how many times have you lied to me about movies and ghosts?"

"this……"

Even though Charlotte had always been eloquent, she could only be speechless at this time.

——Who made it so?

If facing other people, Charlotte can still use her words to turn black into white, but facing the woman she is with every night, this method is meaningless.

Fortunately, Charlize didn't pursue him fiercely.

After following Charlotte for so long, the girl naturally knows what this man is like.

——Charlotte may lie to her in various ways, but she will not be disloyal to her, let alone harm her.

From this perspective, Charlize actually still believes in Charlotte.

——Of course, this is also related to her getting to know Charlotte better and easier to see through the other party's scam.

In short, this sentence is just a joke.

In fact, Charlize knew everything about the birth process of the song "Misty mountains".

In her opinion, this was just a sudden inspiration that emerged during the collaboration between the two directors Charlotte and Peter Jackson.

As for the fact that Charlotte, as a producer, asked Peter Jackson to add this song to "The Lord of the Rings", Charlize was initially puzzled, but after watching "The Lord of the Rings", she felt that it was indeed very special. suitable--

"Misty mountains (Misty Mountains)" was sung by the dwarf Golden Bolt in an almost acapella style while resting by the campfire at night before the Fellowship of the Ring entered the mines of Moria, and Aragorn, who has a deep and pleasant voice, also joined in Once inside, this song has a great effect on soothing the spirit.

——What appeases is not only the spirit of the members of the Fellowship of the Ring, but also the spirit of the audience in the screening room.

This is related to the rhythm of the movie story.

After all, before that, they had just experienced an avalanche caused by the wizard Saruman——

With the support of Charlotte and Spectre Studios, this version of Avalanche in "The Lord of the Rings" is much more shocking than the version in Charlotte's original time and space.

For the audience, this is an exciting scene, but for the members of the Fellowship of the Ring, it is a life and death test.

After experiencing such a crisis, appropriate comfort is necessary.

At the same time, this is also the principle of relaxation in the rhythm control of the movie, and it also hints that they will go to the mines of Moria later.

——Who said that according to Tolkien's world view, "Misty mountains" was originally a song circulated among dwarves?

——The first few sentences happen to be related to caves and gold...(https:)
