After visiting the three major cities in Australia, there is almost nothing to visit in this country, and the rest of the land is basically grasslands and deserts, which are also found in the country. After spending five days in Australia, the tour group split into two groups, one to return home because their plan was to go to Australia for five days, and the other to continue to New Zealand because they were a two-country ten-day package.

Chen Cheng Yan Sisi, who had been very close to the Tong brothers and sisters before, was about to return to China, and they went abroad to play, and the two seemed to be a little unhappy, but when they met in Pingshui, who could control them.

Tong Yanshan happily boarded the plane from Sydney to Auckland.

In the five days in Australia, Shanshan was completely crazy, and the qiē outside was a novelty for her, but this time she was completely out of the world, and when she reached the new class of high school, some of them blew up.

New Zealand's natural scenery is more beautiful than Australia's, many attractions are as beautiful as a fairyland, and the famous "Lord of the Rings" series of movies was filmed in New Zealand, so their trip to New Zealand, also known as the Demon World Tour, is basically a revisit to some Lord of the Rings filming locations.

There are many fanatical Lord of the Rings fans all over the world, Tong Yan is by no means one of them, the status of the "Lord of the Rings" series in his heart is almost the same as "Hero", although the production is more sophisticated, but after all, there is less sense of cultural identity, including other modeled Hollywood blockbusters, Tong Yan's score here will not be very high, his movies are more bright, and the simple visual impact is difficult for him to shoot the case.

Compared with the world-famous series of movies of The Lord of the Rings, Tong Yan is more interested in the Weta Studio behind it, and Weta has contributed to such a perfect restoration of Tolkien's Middle-earth.

Auckland is New Zealand's largest city, the country's commercial center and economic and trade center, and is known as the economic capital of New Zealand. Corresponding to the administrative capital of Wellington, which was the capital of New Zealand more than 100 years ago, and later moved to Wellington, Tong Yan's journey to the demon world began in Auckland.

Since arriving in Matamatta Town, Tong Yan's camera has not stopped, and this place is worthy of the reputation of a fairyland on earth. Those familiar with the Lord of the Rings movies will surely recognize it at a glance, this is the Shire in the movie, and Hobbiton is home to the Hobbits.

When I watched the movie, I may have thought that the scenery inside was made by computer special effects, but when I came here, I realized that such a beautiful scenery is not a special replacement, just during the stroll, I feel that it is worth it.

Tongariro National Park is home to three volcanoes, with Mount Ruapehu being the largest volcano in the national park. In the film, he incarnated as the Kingdom of the Demon Capital, which was a very majestic building, but it was all demolished after the filming, in order to retain the natural characteristics of the natural landscape and not leave a trace of pollution to nature, which foreign filmmakers have done very well.

Although the Lord of the Rings series of movies does not have such a high status in Tong Yan's heart, he still remembers the scenes in it very clearly, and he and Shanshan walked together. While telling her what plot developed in the movie in this place.

And Shanshan listened to it in a daze, and the most common thing to do was to see a beautiful scenery. Then at that stop, Tong Yan immediately understood and raised his camera to take pictures.

After the shooting, Shanshan ran over to take a look, "Brother, your level of photography is getting higher and higher." ”

Tong Yan was a little proud: "You can almost open a photo studio to make money." Ha ha. ”

Mount Victoria and Kekoshi Regional Park, by the time you arrive here, the tour is very close to the city center of Wellington, the capital of New Zealand.

After seeing so many good mountains, rivers and scenery, an old man in the same group said very calmly, "Jiuzhaigou and Zhangjiajie in our country are no worse than here." ”

Tong Yan believed this. China is too big, there are too many beautiful landscapes, and their knowledge is too little, many places are only known by its name, and in the next four years he will go to the south to study, hoping to have the opportunity to see more of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Five days passed in a hurry, and the last stop was the exhibition hall of Weta Digital, which was also the place that Tong Yan was most interested in.

If you say that the leader in the field of film special effects, it is not George. Lucas's industrial light and magic is none other than that, and the slightly inferior, James Brown. Cameron is also a pioneer in the digital space.

The pattern is that these special effects companies tend to associate with super-directors and make a name for themselves with a famous movie.

ILM, George. Lucas and his Star Wars shook the world.

The Digital Sphere, James. Cameron proved his directing talent with Terminator 2.

Then the person associated with Weta Digital must be Peter. Jackson's Lord of the Rings series.

A Lord of the Rings trilogy not only puts Peter. Jackson has championed the international director, and has also made the little-known Weta Studio an internationally renowned special effects company on a par with industrial light and magic and the digital field.

Weta Digital's most famous work is "The Lord of the Rings", in addition to Jackson's "King Kong", and the "Chronicles of Narnia" series adapted from the best-selling fairy tale, Weta has also been the highlight of these years.

In the exhibition hall of Weta Studio, visitors can see the models that appeared in those blockbusters, "King Kong" one area, "The Chronicles of Narnia" one area, "Van Helsing" one area, "Lord of the Rings" n areas, those lifelike models are indeed amazing, but after all, they are dead objects, exhibits, and some miniature memorabilia are still dead and expensive.

Shanshan couldn't understand why her brother had such a soft spot for this place, she rarely watched movies.

"I often think about how great it would be if our country's film industry could have a special effects studio like Vita, and such technology, and how enjoyable it would be for people who like movies to have a lot of stories that can only be saved in novels on the big screen." Although the problems faced by domestic films are by no means limited to special effects, this is definitely one of the most important problems, and in this regard, we are too far behind foreign countries.

Walking out of the exhibition hall, almost all the streets outside are subsidiaries or related industrial companies under the jurisdiction of Weta, and the building with a Weta (an insect in New Zealand) on the roof of the building diagonally across is the core of Weta Studio, and many of the technical things that Tong Yan wants to see are in it, and it is a pity that they are not taken out in the exhibition hall.

"Shanshan, let's go over and have a look." Tong Yan pulled Shanshan over.

However, the security guard at the gate said sorry, outsiders are not allowed to enter casually, and the core technology of Weta is involved.

As soon as he left two steps, Shanshan suddenly pointed at a few people, "Brother, how do you think they can get in?!" (To be continued......)
