Chapter 292: Middle-earth
"Good morning, sir, did you sleep well last night?" Kevin waited in the restaurant early in the morning, and when he saw Li Yang and Tong Shuya, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Very good!"
"The night here is wonderful!" Li Yang and Tong Shuya said with a smile.
Kevin led Li Yang and Tong Shuya to the reserved seat in the restaurant and sat down, and immediately said, "I hired the most famous local chef for you to prepare breakfast for you, and he will cook today's lunch for the two of you!"
Li Yang nodded, he also knew this at the beginning, this chef is Chinese, so he is very good at cooking fusion dishes, and he can cook fusion dishes for Li Yang and Tong Shuya that are more suitable for their tastes.
After breakfast, Kevin began to introduce today's itinerary again.
"Today we're going to go on a magical journey into Middle-earth!" Kevin said with a smile.
Li Yang also knows that there are many filming locations for "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" in New Zealand, and Middle-earth is a fictional world among them, and many scenes are filmed here.
So the places they are going to today are basically related to these filming locations, according to the previous itinerary, today they will ride through "Middle-earth" on horseback and enjoy this purest natural scenery.
The group drove out of Queenstown, about an hour or so, and arrived at the town of Glenorchy, known as the town of the Lord of the Rings.
Compared to the bustle of Queenstown, the town of Glenorchy is exceptionally quiet and without any noise.
The town seems to exist only to tell people to calm down and enjoy the plains and glaciers.
"The town of Glenorchy has the most spectacular natural scenery. From the towering mountains, the calm and gentle Lake Wakatipu, to the vast plains, many scenes of Middle-earth in the movie are taken from here!" Kevin continued, "We're going to ride through this beautiful Middle-earth, taking you back to the world of the Lord of the Rings, with amazing views of the Wizarding Valleys and the Misty Mountains!"
Li YangWhen they arrived here, the staff had already prepared horses for them, of course, there were only five horses, two of which were for Li Yang and Tong Shuya, and two and three were for Kevin and two security officers.
As for the staff of the photography crew, they can only take an off-road vehicle and follow the shooting.
Tong Shuya was riding a horse for the first time, and she seemed a little nervous at first, so for safety, one of the security officers helped lead the horse, and the other followed closely and was responsible for supporting Tong Shuya.
However, after riding for a while, Tong Shuya has basically adapted, and these horses are carefully selected and domesticated, very obedient, Tong Shuya can easily use the password to control the horse's forward and stop.
Slowly adapted to horseback riding, Tong Shuya's mood also relaxed, and her attention could finally be transferred to the surrounding scenery, and she suddenly became excited, the Yinyin grassland in front of her spread to the foot of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and the winding road shuttled between the pools of natural water.
Ethereal, vast, magnificent, majestic, Tong Shuya doesn't know what words to use to describe the scenery in front of her, this is simply the world that should exist in movie special effects.
As Tong Shuya got used to riding a horse, everyone's forward speed also accelerated slightly, and the safety officer also got on the horse, following Tong Shuya and Li Yang left and right to protect the safety of the two.
Li Yang's heart was shocked, this feeling he had felt when he was driving to Xizo Ali, but now he was shocked by the natural scenery here again.
Especially when I saw the scene that appeared in the movie, I suddenly felt as if I had really come to the world of the Lord of the Rings, as if I had set foot in that world full of magic, as if there were dwarves and elves living in the mountains in the distance, and even the ferocious and ugly orcs.
Just when Li Yang was fantasizing, a commotion suddenly came: "What is that, look there!"
The shouting was followed by the camera crew, who stood on the open-top SUV and pointed to the figure running in the distance.
The camera immediately turned around, and when the camera took it, the figures turned out to be ......
"I'll wipe it, Ring Spirit!" Li Yang also looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be shocked, but his face showed an excited look.
In the distance, on a hillside, a black figure appeared, wrapped in a hooded robe, riding a black horse also draped in strips of black cloth.
Standing alone on the top of the mountain, the breeze blowing, the black robe swaying slightly, full of mystery.
The Ringwraith is a character in the Lord of the Rings, the most faithful and feared servant of Lord Sauron.
They were originally nine powerful and intelligent human kings, warriors, wizards, etc., and in the Second Age, Sauron tricked the elves of Erijan into casting the Ring, and Sauron gave them nine rings of human power, and since then they have succumbed to his invisible control one by one, and after their physical death, they have become terrifying ghosts.
Just as Li Yang exclaimed, he saw that the ring spirit slowly pulled out his long sword, and at the same time, a roar came from behind it, and then he saw a group of figures rushing down from the hillside.
"I'll rub it, and the orcs!" Li Yang's eyes widened again.
The photographers of the photography group were also full of excitement, the camera was pointed at the rushing orcs, and they exclaimed again and again, only to see that on the hillside, there were almost two dozen "orcs" waving various weapons and roaring and rushing over.
Li Yang naturally knew that these orcs were all humans with special effects makeup, and they should be extras specially invited by the travel agency in order to increase the experience of this trip.
Well, maybe it's the orc actor in the original Hobbit movie.
"There are even orc actors!" The camera crew was also pleasantly surprised, this was one of the surprises that the travel agency did not disclose in advance.
"There's an inner taste!" Li Yang laughed happily, seeing those sturdy Gundam orcs rushing over with all kinds of weapons, Li Yang suddenly felt his blood boiling, as if he had really traveled to Middle-earth, to the world of the Lord of the Rings.
The orcs soon surrounded them, grinning one by one, hideous and terrifying, roaring, roaring, and their close-up makeup level was completely cinematic, just like a real orc standing in front of Li Yang and them.
The visual impact is definitely more shocking than in the movie.
Li Yang knew that this travel agency had indeed made a bloody investment, and these actors were all burly, and each of them vividly interpreted the savagery, ferocity, rage, and hideousness of the orcs, which was simply a reproduction of the characters in the movie.
After they surrounded Li Yang and them, the leader-like orcs spoke the language of the orcs in the movie, and the hoarse and rough pronunciation also made Li Yang suddenly get goosebumps.
It's real, it's so real, it's a real orc.
Li Yang and the others naturally didn't understand what these people said, but it seemed that they were going to arrest them.
The people in the camera team excitedly used the camera to record the appearance and demeanor of each orc around, and they were amazed one by one, feeling that they were filming the scene of the "Lord of the Rings" movie.
This show is really cool, first filmed "Fast and Furious", and now filmed "The Lord of the Rings", ah, there is wood!
The mood of several photographers at this time is really that they feel that their lives have reached a climax, and they feel that their lives have reached their peak!
The orcs roared and pulled Li Yang and Kevin off their horses, and then escorted them forward.
