Chapter 33: Handsome Ridley
Before the official start of filming, Edward also went to New York, and in Natalie's newly bought villa, Edward "well" accompanied Natalie for two days, and now it is during the winter vacation.
"Eddie, I'm so happy now. My movie Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is coming out soon, and you can star in big-budget movies now.
Our dreams are about to come true, do you think we should make our relationship public? I really want to share my happiness with the fans and let them know how happy I am now! β
After a burst of passion, Natalie lay naked on Edward's body and said softly.
At the end of the century, Natalie played her most widely discussed role in the world-popular George Brown. Lucas plays the noble and beautiful Queen Amidala in Star Wars Prequel: The Phantom Menace.
Despite all the accolades, it's an indisputable fact that the film hit a huge box office around the world.
And Natalie's beautiful image is also known to the world as Hepburn back then.
Because this drama will make her the protagonist of the posters posted on the bedside of countless boys around the world, and countless men will linger on her.
"Don't! It's better not now, you're on the rise in your career.
And, now you're still WMA (William. Morris Agency) Agency's number one artist, it will certainly not be willing, you are responsible for your fans. β
Among the Chinese stars, International Zhang and Sister Liu are both WMA customers.
It's all the same problem! I can't give up a forest for a tree, how good it is! I still have Britney, how long can I hide it, Edward thought again.
Have a good time with Natalie, Edward and Russell. Crowe took the crew's special plane to the United Kingdom and officially started the filming of "Gladiator".
This time, the first stop in the filming of "Gladiator" was not Italy as Edward thought, but England.
It is said that the filming of the film will start in the United Kingdom.
No way, director Ridley. Scott is British, and he contributes to his hometown, so the whole crew can only go to the UK.
Although Edward still has 1/4 of his English ancestry, this is the first time Edward has come to England, an old-fashioned gentlemanly country with an aristocratic atmosphere, both in his past life and in this life.
There is a joke in Britain that the British look at the Americans as rude hillbillies, the French as a bunch of uneducated and unskilled tramps, the Germans as damned Junker landlords, and the Italians and Spain as prodigal thieves who specialize in cheating.
Look at the rest of the world, it's all colonies!
The joke isn't necessarily true though.
But it also proves the xenophobia of the British, who have their own circles and are very repulsive to outsiders.
Of course, Edward didn't expect to emigrate here, and it didn't affect him.
Turning his head to look at Russell, who was leaning back in his seat. Crowe, stubble-faced, facing Hollywood star is passing the time with a book in hand.
However, his face was a little unhappy, which seemed to be related to his recent scandal.
Edward shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze to the entertainment newspaper on the side, which was the Russell Crowe scandal, who was accused of being caught up in the "American sweetheart" superstar Meg Brown. Ryan is in the midst of emotional disputes.
Meg Ryan is undoubtedly one of Hollywood's most famous sweetheart actresses, and her every move has been noticed by the paparazzi.
And her husband is also a veteran Hollywood star, and the divorce rumors between the two have been in a uproar, and with a Russell Crowe, it can be seen how bad this scandal will be.
Recently, Hollywood has been covered by the news of these three people, and the sensational effect is even more terrifying than the later Monday meeting.
Think about just Russell. The picture of Crow being surrounded by the paparazzi, Edward couldn't help but shrug his shoulders with a smile, it's no wonder this guy can be in a good mood!
Edward was bored and picked up a magazine next to him and read it casually, and fell asleep in a daze after a while.
When Edward woke up, just as he got off the plane, there was already a staff member who drove to greet him. Crowe and Edward are the main actors in the play, so the pay is very high.
The crew and director Ridley had come to the UK a week ago to prepare, and this time the filming location was near Farnham Castle, one of the top ten castles in the UK.
Luckily, it only takes about a week to shoot here, otherwise you would have just enjoyed the warm California sunshine and the English woodlands in January.
This is the location of the film's battle with the Germans, and when Director Ridley and Edward arrived, a cordon had been set up near the forest, and there were many staff members busy.
Because it is a mountainous forest, the photographer and the camera car cannot completely shoot the frame, so many staff are laying monorail steel pipes on the ground, and when the camera is installed on the steel pipe, the camera will move along the terrain to shoot and capture the scenes needed for shooting.
The special effects staff were discussing the arrangement of bows and arrows and war horses with the prop masters, and the whole crew seemed to be in full swing.
"Hell weather!" Russell Crowe changed into a leather jacket, and the cold weather made him shake his head, "This place is really a little cold......
Temperatures in the UK in January are around 5Β°-7Β°, with daytime temperatures being high and nights being colder.
In particular, Edward was shooting near the forest, and the temperature difference between day and night was even greater.
You must know that although Los Angeles is also a little cooler at this time, the temperature is also maintained between 10Β°-20Β°.
As for Australia, it is very warm at this time.
Russell Crowe suddenly came from a farm in Australia to a cold English suburb, and naturally he couldn't stand it.
"It's the kind of cold that makes people cold, and the temperature in Suffolk is even worse than in London. But the air is much better than in London! β
Edward took out a box of Chinese cigarettes he was carrying, opened the lid, and handed it to Russell Crowe, who had a serious face, "I brought a box of cigarettes here, do you want to take a puff?" β
"Thanks, I think I really need to take a puff!"
Russell Crowe did not refuse Edward's kindness, and took the cigarette from Edward's hand, I don't know if he was trying to warm up his body, or if he couldn't resist the temptation of cigarettes,
"Smack!"
Edward took out the lighter and lit the cigarette on Russell Crowe's mouth first, and the other party covered the flame slightly with his hand, and then lightly tapped Edward's hand and signaled that it was lit.
Edward smiled and moved the flame over, and took a hard breath, the thick smoke swirling in his lungs, relieving the craving for smoking, and then spit it out.
Seeing Edward's comfortable expression after smoking, Russell Crowe turned his head and smiled, looking at the man in front of him who was stronger than himself, and smiled.
"Tobacco tastes awesome! What smoke? Home-made? β
"It's Chinese cigarettes, called "China", I'll send you two another day. β
"Okay, thanks."
Edward was not used to smoking foreign cigarettes, so he specially asked William to find a relationship to buy a few boxes of original "Chinese cigarettes" from China. I used to have no money, and I was reluctant to smoke "China", but now that I have money, I can't enjoy it well,
While the two were smoking cigarettes, they chatted with each other, and they had a very tacit understanding.
And both of them have farm experiences, Russell. Crowe had a farm, and Edward had grown up in the countryside in his previous life and had done a lot of farm work, so when it came to some topics, he was quite interested.
"You two guys, don't you know that smoking is forbidden near the forest? I'm really afraid that the people who oversaw the British Forest Society would see it and take my male number one and male number two away. β
Being Edward with Russell. When the two tough guys of Crow stood on the ridge of the field and swallowed the clouds, a joking voice came from the side.
Ridley. Director Scott, with a puffy eye bag on his face, walked over with a cigarette roll in his mouth, with a smile in his eyes.
"Maybe a director." Russell Crowe joked with a laugh.
"Oh, seeing you can joke is a good sign that you've had a good holiday.
And your fitness program is really good, much more robust than the last time I saw you.
I have to say, your weird fitness plan of doing farm work on an Australian farm is really good. β
Ridley wore a leather jacket with a white shirt without a thin tie and a style button, looking very casual, and pointed at Russell with a smile. Crow's pectoral muscles,
"Looks like you haven't been beaten by that sweetheart Meg yet. Ryan is broken, haha......"
Ridley's words made Russell. Crowe shrugged helplessly.
Now no one is unaware of the scandal between him and Megrion, and he has not shied away from suspicion.
Although this one is a little awkward, Russell Crowe is indeed in a relationship with Meg Ryan.
"I've just been working on a farm in Australia......" Russell Crowe replied evasively, yes, he started to lose weight after filming "The Insider", his way is to go back to work on the Australian farm, obviously now look at his fitness program although wonderful, but very effective.
"Hehe, that's a good idea."
Ridley smiled, seeing the progress of the staff not far away, he couldn't help but stuff his fingers in his mouth, whistled loudly, and shouted with a smile at a man wearing a peaked cap, "Cowboy, I'm looking forward to your design!" But can you speed it up a bit? Dudeβ"
Neil. Cowbod, a Hollywood master special effects director, is also the special effects director of this film.
In fact, the special effects of "Gladiator" are very simple, but the battle scenes are too exciting.
William had previously mentioned to Edward the behind-the-scenes lineup of "Gladiator", including Neil. Cobod.
The reason why the movie "Gladiator" has attracted attention is not only because it is the first epic masterpiece to depict the Roman period in the past 40 years, nor is it the investment of 100 million.
It's because of the super strong behind-the-scenes cast of this movie.
Neil. Cobade is the special effects director of many films such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Fifth Element", and is a frequent Oscar nominee.
Nick. Powell, Master of Martial Arts! He was the action director of "Braveheart" and was responsible for the fencing action of "Gladiator".
The need to teach includes the lead actors, stuntmen and more than 1,000 temporary fencing moves, including the fight against Russell. Crowe and Edward teach one-on-one.
The camera director was John. Matheson will be the same bull.
And the art director is Arthur. Max, with more than 200 technicians and hundreds of craftsmen, is now building the landscape of the heart of the Roman Empire in Rome.
It has been 17 weeks, and in order to restore the grand occasion at that time, director Ridley has built it according to the famous works of British painters, and followed the original as much as possible.
In terms of soundtrack, the music master Hans was invited to the super bull fork. Zimmer was the original music designer.
If anyone doesn't know him, then "The Lion King" has seen it, his music! The soundtrack he completed for "Brave Death Island" and "Rain Man" are also his works. Later Christopher. Nolan's "Batman Trilogy", "Inception", "Interstellar" are also his works.
Even the assistant director is a gold medal assistant director Alexander. Witt leads the way! He was the assistant director of the "007" series, "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and "Fast and Furious" series.
When William and Edward mentioned these names before, Edward didn't think anything, but when William introduced their resumes one by one, Edward was stunned!
In front of these people, Russell Crowe can't play a big name, let alone himself?
So watching Ridley whistling to call the great god Nil Cowbod, Edward also had to sigh, Director Ridley at this moment is really fucking handsome!
