p "The Lord of the Rings" is not easy to film!

This point, whether in the past life or in this life, the Grandmaster is very clear.

As an entertainer, the grandmaster of the previous life definitely knew no worse than the palm of his own hand about "The Lord of the Rings".

In his previous life, "The Lord of the Rings" filmed by Fat Man is the most successful trilogy in film history, in terms of word-of-mouth, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is no worse than the "Star Wars" trilogy and the "Godfather" trilogy, but in terms of box office, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy's global box office of 2.91 billion US dollars, even "Star Wars" and "The Godfather" combined!

Such a series with both word-of-mouth and box office explosion is not so easy to film.

In his previous life, he filmed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and filmed for a total of seven years!

This shooting time alone is enough to show how much effort the fat man spent on the creation of this series in his previous life. Not to mention the jaw-dropping number of props.

In his previous life, when Peter Jackson filmed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, it was done in one go, that is, three consecutive films, and the benefits of this are undoubted, such as saving shooting costs, arranging actors, etc. But again, such three consecutive shots have increased the difficulty of shooting.

The total length of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the previous life reached a staggering 10 hours, and the extended version exceeded 12 hours. This time is only the length of time the film is shown, and the amount of film consumed to shoot is an unimaginable number.

That's right, the "Lord of the Rings" that this grandmaster is preparing to film, although the name is different from Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings", the content is the same, but with a different name. And the Grandmaster also prepared three consecutive shots, and also shot on film instead of with a digital camera.

In the previous life, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy won a total of 17 Oscars, and the last "Return of the King" won 11 Oscars in one fell swoop.

For such a movie, it is most appropriate to shoot it on film. Although it will increase a lot of shooting costs, who cares in the face of that huge box office?

In order to shoot this series well, the grandmaster took out a full two-year time budget and a full 400 million yuan shooting budget, and the number of the entire shooting team reached an astonishing 1,100 people (excluding actors and extras)!

There is no way, if you want to finish filming the trilogy in two years, the number of logistics service personnel must keep up, and you can't delay filming anywhere in this regard.

In order to keep such a large crew running in an orderly manner, the Grandmaster did not hesitate to bring in the most famous executive producer in Hollywood, Hammer Hopkins. As Hollywood's most famous and efficient executive producer, Hammer Hopkins lived up to the grandmaster's expectations, providing the crew with up to 26 on-set supervisors who were responsible for all aspects of the filming process.

When the reporter interviewed Hammer Hopkins, the 50-year-old Jewish man was very excited: "It is every producer's dream to be able to work with the most successful director on the planet. Now, this dream of mine is coming true! I am very grateful to Mr. Grandmaster for being able to pull me into the crew and let me take care of the whole set. God, I never imagined that I could command a crew of 1,100 people, it was a great challenge for me, but I was confident that I could do it!"

In addition to Hammer Hopkins being invited to the crew, the Grandmaster also invited his old friend Dwayne Johnson to the crew as the second director.

Although Dwayne Johnson was born in literary films, his control of details is recognized as strong in the world, otherwise he would not have become a first-class director in Hollywood by shooting literary films.

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is filmed continuously, and the workload in it is too great, and the grandmaster must not be busy alone, and he needs several assistant directors to share some of the filming work for him.

Dwayg Johnson was hired by the Grandmaster to share the work. In addition to this Hollywood director, the grandmaster also arrested Wang Changyou, this guy is good at shooting big scenes, and the "Matrix" series was filmed by Wang Changyou.

The year before last, the first part of "The Matrix" was successfully released and achieved quite good box office results, and Wang Changyou also became a first-line director. Last year, Wang Changyou followed the instructions of the grandmaster and filmed the second and third parts of "The Matrix" in a row.

The second part of "The Matrix" is ready to be released in the summer of this year, and according to a survey of fans, the box office of the second part of "The Matrix" is favored by countless people.

And Wang Changyou, who finished filming the second and third parts, planned to take a break this year, but he was arrested by the grandmaster.

Although his body is still relatively tired, Wang Changyou is very happy with this job. Being able to work with the grandmaster, even if it is only as the third director in the crew, is definitely something that countless directors envy.

And when many well-known people in the industry learned that the grandmaster was going to form the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", they all came to apply. The Grandmaster is now recognized as the number one director in the world, and now he is filming a fantasy blockbuster like "The Lord of the Rings", who doesn't want to show his face in the crew!

Being able to enter such a crew will definitely add a huge glory to his qualifications! Therefore, many well-known personnel in the industry have come to vote.

In this way, the crew of "The Lord of the Rings" began to be formed vigorously.

In fact, the crew was formed, and people would not all be in place all at once. After all, the grandmaster decided to start filming "The Lord of the Rings" after New Year's Day, and it took at least two months to prepare for it.

However, there is still Li Maohua, an old qualified producer, in the crew, and he and Hammer Hopkins are in the crew, so basically there is no need for the grandmaster to worry about anything. The Grandmaster arrived in Queenstown early with some of his old team, and his main job was to shoot some exterior shots and identify some major filming locations. Of course, more than 100 special effects personnel from Rainstorm Electronics also followed, and in this more than a month, they had to design computer special effects for many scenes according to the requirements of the grandmaster.

The grandmaster doesn't want to be like the fat man in his previous life, the filming work has been completed, and many special effects have not been completed. The Grandmaster is ready to shoot and special effects at the same time as the previous movies, so that when the shooting is completed, the special effects will be carried out similarly, which will greatly shorten the release time of the movie!
