"Units ready to ......"

"The camera crew is debugged!"

"The special effects team is in place!"

"The British Forest Society is in place!"

"Ready to blast fireworks!"

With the shouting of Ridley walkie-talkie, one after another came out of the walkie-talkie. Filming is never the credit of the director alone. On the contrary, the director's biggest role is to control the entire crew and clarify the theme of the film.

Someone actually did it in every detail.

From a distance, you can see a dense array of performers wearing armor and costumes designed by costume designers, constantly lining up according to the requirements.

Each area has a dedicated assistant director in charge. The director is not omnipotent, and more often than not, this kind of epic scene requires the assistant director to operate it. Therefore, there are nearly 20 assistant directors for this scene alone!

This is definitely the biggest lineup in Hollywood in recent years!

Ridley's main focus is on the clusters of arrows fired by archers and archers.

16,000 flaming arrows and 10,000 regular arrows, it's an epic picture. It's not CG technology, green screen technology, it's a real special effect. To this end, special effects director Nil Cowbold and his team are in place to oversee every detail.

In order to achieve the picture he wanted, Ridley dragged the film to the UK in November. Because this forest is about to be cut down, knowing the news, Ridley patted his chest excitedly and promised to help them develop it!

The last British Forest Society decided to cut down in May and June, so Ridley, a great English director, called Russell Crowe, who had just finished filming "The Insider", to shoot the film.

But this didn't happen in May or June, and Russell Crowe was still injured, so it's now.

As for why there is a difference in time, Sean thinks about it, that time may be the time when he has some more memories in his head! Sometimes it's just so funny that you might call it the "butterfly phenomenon".

"Eksh!" With Ridley's order, the scenes that the assistant directors were responsible for also began to be filmed, and more than 15 cameras were mobilized for this scene, which was unimaginable for such a large scene to be transferred. Being able to command such an epic scene shows Ridley's directing skills.

The blowers blew the snowflakes and fell, the cavalry moved in groups, the dense soldiers stood in a square formation, and the whole battlefield was full of gunsmoke and defeat, gloomy and depressing.

The camera car slid in front of Russell Crowe, constantly retreating, and the soldiers next to him greeted Russell Crowe, who played Maximus, one by one.

Russell Crow, dressed in iron armor and a thick battle line, stood in the battle formation, looking strong and stocky, with a face full of vicissitudes and a scruffy beard.

Shouting to stop, this scene was filmed for nearly 4 hours, and Russell Crowe was already sweating profusely in this cold forest wearing heavy iron armor. I had to ask the makeup artist to touch up my makeup when I was resting, and I took a break from the performance.

With the shooting, the original bumps and bumps became a lot smoother.

When 10,000 arrows were lifted into the air, rockets were attacking, catapults were racing, and thousands of horses were galloping, Sean could feel a sense of battlefield when he stood aside. The smell of burnt wood oil emanated from the entire battlefield, and the crackling became more and more pungent.

Each camera is placed in a pre-arranged position, constantly shooting tragic shots of the battlefield in front of them. These shots are all materials for post-editing of the film, and such epic war scenes not only have a macro battlefield description, but also some tragic scenes in close-ups.

Not far away, firefighters and paramedics are constantly ready to take to the field. After all, at the filming site of such a large-scale battle, there may be some accidents.

Looking at Ridley, who was sitting behind the monitor and watching with his chin propped up, Sean smiled slightly, Ridley didn't talk much, whenever he had an opinion, he would always whistle with his hand seriously to call the person who made the mistake, and then point out the wrong place.

At this time, Sean was riding on a horse, waiting not far away, and an assistant director next to him kept telling Sean about the details of the filming for a while, very conscientious.

"Shh

Suddenly, a horse was suddenly frightened and scurried back and forth in a violent manner, and a knight on top of it kept tugging at the twine in an attempt to control the frightened horse.

"Oh! That's Russell Crowe! ”

Seeing the strong man riding on the horse and constantly taming and controlling the frightened horse, a staff member suddenly shouted loudly, and his voice also made Sean, who was listening to the assistant director's explanation, raise his head, just in time to see a horse frightened, looking very irritable and jumping, trying to throw the person on the horse's back out.

"Smack."

When the horse was frightened, it would jump and run, and there were woods around it, and in this way, it would hit the branches indiscriminately, and Russell Crowe, who was riding on horseback, was scratched on his face and nose by the branches.

Russell Crowe kept screaming, squeezing the horse's rope and trying to control the horse. But the more he controlled the horse, the more crazy he became, and suddenly his whole body stood up, and Russell Crow was thrown out at once, but fortunately he was hanging from the horse with a rope tightly in his hand.

"Oh! Oh, God! ”

"Oh my God! Danger-"

Seeing this scene, even Ridley couldn't help but stand up in horror, and countless exclamations came from all around, and everyone prayed for Russell Crowe.

In fact, everyone can see that Russell Crowe's horseback riding skills are very good, and if he were someone else, he might have been thrown down and trampled by the horse now! However, he is no less dangerous now!

Driving――

Suddenly, a big horse with a white mane suddenly rushed out, wearing a luxurious battle robe, a headband, and a tough guy wearing a battle robe grabbed Russell Crowe with one hand, and then roared angrily, pulling the equally strong Russell Crowe over.

"Let it go!"

As soon as he exerted his strength, Sean's muscles bulged, and his big hand grabbed Russell Crowe's lower back, lifted it directly, and put it on the horse's back. His superb horseback riding skills make him feel like a professional cowboy. And Sean is indeed a professional cowboy, and he spent the first ten years on the farm with horses!

“……”

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. As for the frightened horses next to him, no one even paid attention, and everyone's eyes were on Sean, who was riding back. In front of his horse lay an exhausted Russell Crowe.

It's so violent!

Directly dragged a strong man of nearly six feet over with one hand, you must know that although Russell Crowe lost a lot of weight for the filming of this movie, he turned fat into muscle, and the weight definitely did not lose much, at least about 170 pounds.

But such a strong man was lifted up with one hand by the six-foot-two-inch tough guy in front of him and saved from the frightened horse. Not to mention how superb Sean's horseback riding skills are, not to mention how shocking Sean's strength is, just by virtue of the courage of riding alone to save people, everyone looks at Sean with admiration.

America is the place where individual heroes are most admired, and Sean's performance just now definitely conquered everyone on the scene.

"I'm going to him!" A female director's assistant looked at Sean, who was riding a tall horse, and couldn't help but exclaim, "His pectoral muscles must be as hard as steel, and his biceps may be able to tear through clothes!" What a tough guy hero! ”

The paramedics arrived quickly and lifted Russell Crowe off his horse, leaving him with cuts on his face and neck from tree branches.

"Thank you, Sean! Without your help, I can't imagine the consequences! ”

Russell Crowe was lying on a stretcher, reaching out and holding Sean tightly, looking very excited. The dangerous situation just now frightened Russell Crow, but just when he was disappointed, Sean actually single-handedly saved himself, how could he not be grateful?

"Oh!! Hero!! Sean, you're a hero! ”

"Tough guy!"

Several staff members at the scene took the lead in applauding, and the sound of applause slowly spread, and people kept shouting praise for Sean. The atmosphere at the scene was very warm, and Sean's eyes were particularly bright.

Who doesn't love working with a man like that? Who doesn't want someone to help when they're in danger? Who wouldn't want to work with someone who is so responsible? Undoubtedly, Sean's actions have won the respect of many people.

"Don't say that, Russell! We're friends, aren't we? Sean smiled at Russell Crowe lying on the stretcher, held his hand and said, "I think you won't stand idly by when I encounter this kind of thing!" The iron-faced and selfless Sheriff Bard! ”

The two men suddenly smiled, their rough hands were tightly clasped together, one was honest, the other was tough, both of them were tough guys!

"Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you." The medical staff looked at Sean apologetically and said with a smile, "We need to check Mr. Russell Crowe first, so please maybe you can talk to your heart's content for a while, but please give me a little time now......"

"Of course!" Sean smiled, then stepped back and watched Russell Crowe enter the ambulance next to him.

Suddenly, there was applause at the scene, which made Sean look back in surprise and saw Director Ridley leading the staff to stand behind him and applaud together.

"That's cool! I can't wait to take off your clothes and see if your muscles are made of steel! I really doubt you're the T800! Simply an all-round warrior! Ridley slammed his fist into Sean's chest and joked, "If you shoot the Terminator again, I'll definitely vote for you!" ”

"Haha, count me in!"

"And me!

"It looks like Schwarzenegger is going to lose his job!"

The scene changed the previous depression and looked very cheerful. Ridley's attitude towards Sean has also changed a lot, from politeness to familiarity, and the rest of the staff are also impressed by Sean. Including the behind-the-scenes guidance of those big names.

Doctors examined and confirmed that Russell Crowe had a slight strain on his biceps tendon in addition to the wounds on his face and nose, but fortunately, this did not affect the subsequent shooting in the forest.

This also made director Ridley breathe a sigh of relief. If Russell Crowe was injured and affected the filming, then the loss suffered by the crew would be too much for him to bear.

Of course, this also made Ridley more determined to use stuntmen to do it in some dangerous shots. After all, if you are injured as a leading actor, you will suffer huge economic losses for every day of delay in the filming progress of the film.

In order to control the damage, the use of stuntmen and doubles is a long-standing Hollywood tradition.
