Chapter 35: Shooting
(Book friends who click in, please go to the page to collect it, it is very important, thank you for your gratitude.) )
The filming took place on a beach in the west of Queenstown.
The actors who have a play or not have a play all go to work with the crew.
Daniel has gotten acquainted with the main actors of the crew these days, and everyone is indeed very distinctive.
The youngest, Frodo, Elijah Wood, plays music in his house every day, and Gandalf Ian McKellen has to warn the young people to be aware of noise pollution. And Aragonese Vigo, which always reminds Daniel of another medicine that men love and hate, Vigo has an even more jaw-dropping habit, and if you see Vigo covered in weeds and dew early in the morning, don't be surprised, he probably went fishing by the stream in the middle of the night.
It's so capricious.
As for the "quiet" Ian McLean, he has studied girls all over the world - the blonde stunner in the United States, the white-collar worker in uniform in Germany, the vacuum kimono girl in Japan, and even the wild girl in the Philippines and the yoga girl in India - all in all, he has a lot of experience and is very willing to share it.
Although Daniel is not too interested at times.
And lately Ian has always been a little unkind to Daniel, which makes him feel a little bit of a crisis.
Before filming, Ilya ran over to talk to Daniel with a poisoned dark blue face, he was only two years younger than Daniel, Sam, Pippin and Meli, plus Frodo himself, the age difference between the four hobbits traveling together is actually very large, Melly is 76 years old, Sam is five years older than him - born in Santa Monica, Los Angeles in 1971, and Pippin was even born in 68, but under the magical skills of makeup artists, they really look like a group of people of the same age, and Aragorn, Boromir is a generation behind, and of course, this has something to do with the fact that they play petite hobbit dwarves in the movie.
If you are short in stature, you will look younger.
This may be a consolation to the short guys.
When God loses your weight, He also takes your age off you.
The protagonist of this scene is Liv Taylor, who wades across the water with Frodo on horseback, and the following Black Knight leader Angmar Witch King asks her to hand over the Ring Bearer, she refuses, and chants a spell, summoning the power of the water, and the rushing torrent breaks the Ring Spirit, but Frodo is on the verge of death - of course, according to custom, he still has to obey the protagonist law of "if you are a few hours late, you will not be saved", King Elon treats him, and meets Gandalf who escaped from the top of Saruman's tower.
Next is the far-reaching Ringo Conference, which is also the first time Legolas has appeared in "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", although the plot is coherent, but that part will not be filmed until a month later.
The director, dressed in a red T-shirt and dark blue vest, wears his signature instant noodle head, an over-haired instant noodle head. Now he is not so fat, and in general he is a sturdy and slightly chubby director.
Peter walks around the scene to finalize the shoot, Liv is surrounded by make-up artists, and Elijah is called over to touch up his makeup, he is now in a poisoned and dying state, and he looks like a living dead. Brent put on the heavy black knight's armor and leaned back on the chaise longue to save some energy.
This is a "behind-the-scenes hero" - you must know that the Ringwraiths are made up of evil forces and have no fixed form, so they never miss a face throughout the movie.
The prop master checked all the weapons and sets - they were fake, and it wasn't fun to mix in real swords.
This scenario is relatively simple in the end.
Three cameras shot at the same time, one dedicated to Liv, the other shot the panorama, and the remaining one stared at the Ringling, Frodo, and the canyon.
A scene produces a lot of material, even if there are only one or two scenes in the movie, maybe it is several hours of continuous shooting.
This is the movie, otherwise why would a two- or three-hour movie be filmed for months.
Peter watched it roughly, and confirmed with the assistant director on the scene that there was nothing to wear and goof, and then stood back behind the machine.
"Ready to go."
The assistant director shouted, and the team of more than 100 people started to work quickly, and everyone began to shut down.
Liv Taylor stepped onto her horse with ease, and her posture was much more beautiful than when Elijah had gone up just now.
Brent got on board with the help of the staff.
It seems that they are all very skilled.
"Let's go."
With a wave of Peter's hand, the photographer enters the state, and the three cameras perform their own duties.
Outside the camera, Liv takes Frodo with her, and Brent follows them.
As the machine was in place, Liv lowered her body, her slender and tight legs clamped the horse's belly, and the white horse rushed into the water beach with a long roar.
Peter saw the image of Camera One, a large close-up of Liv's beautiful face full of urgency.
“Nogood!”
Peter shouted to stop, and he ran to Liv's horse and looked up to talk to her.
"The expression on your face is not right." Peter frowned, "You are very anxious, Frodo's life and death are uncertain, you have to hurry." That's right, and you can see it in your expression. But it's not enough, if you're just in a hurry, it's okay to be in a hurry. But now you're being chased by the Ringwraith, with a mighty army of Black Knights behind you, and you're an elf who hates these evil forces. If you're just in a hurry, it's too thin. The expression should be a little richer, worried, anxious, resentful, disgusted...... It's complicated. ”
"OK," Liv was used to Peter's intention to make a magic movie into an acting movie.
Everyone is in their hands, and the shooting resumes.
This time it still didn't work, and the problem was with the Ringwraith's horse.
It's too messy.
Peter's setting of the rings is symbolic and simple, so he always keeps them in lockstep. Whether mounted, dismounted, struck, drawn, stabbed, drawn, etc., they all looked like they were doing the same thing—a sign that they were under the control of the same person, the arm of the Dark Ring Sauron that spread to Middle-earth.
"Can you?" Peter was not so polite to the third ring.
They had all been trained in equestrianism for three months, and the mistake just now was really undeserved.
You know, it's all film cameras nowadays, and every roll is a budget.
The third shooting soon began.
This time Shun lì is done.
Peter just had Camera 3 shoot some close-up scenes, which would be followed by special effects, such as a flash flood summoned by Alvin.
The confrontation scenes on both sides of the beach are relatively simple.
But Peter shot it twice, and Camera 1 and Camera 3 were instructed to rotate around.
……
Daniel watched Peter say NOgood again and again, squeezing his eyebrows with Dominic next to him, Dominic plays the hobbit Merry, who is a German who later moved to England and became famous as a teenager and is a household name in Britain.
"Was Peter always so strict?"
"Not with Liv anyway." Dominic is neither a serious German nor an old-fashioned Englishman, but very special, with a European temperament and an American escape.
Daniel raised an eyebrow, "See, won't Francis make him kneel on the keyboard?" ”
"Kneeling keyboard?" Dominic was confused for a moment, then quickly reflected and gasped, "Oh my God, who came up with this torture?" I bet Francis absolutely didn't know about it. ”
“…… Sounds like I could go talk to Francis. ”
"If you want to be cleaned up by Peter."
The two of them joked casually, but the people filming over there were a little in dire straits. Although the flash flood needs special effects to make Zuò, the scattered scenes of the flash flood will ring the spirit still need to be filmed now.
Brent's Ringwraiths rolled around in the water for more than an hour in armor before Peter was satisfied.
When they came up, the faces of several people turned white, and the assistant director hurriedly beckoned someone to give them hot water and towels.
This scene is quite smooth, and it was almost filmed in one day.
When she returned to her residence, Liv didn't even have the strength to laugh.
A day of intensive and high-intensity shooting made her overdraw all her strength.
