The sun was already hanging in the sky, but the bedroom window was tightly blocked by thick curtains, and in the dim light, Duke completely transformed into a powerful knight galloping on a horse, driving the beautiful wild horse from Brazil under him, with skillful skills and undulating rhythms, breaking through layers of difficulties and dangers, and constantly charging towards the peak.

The long brown hair that fluttered on Duke's chest swayed back and forth like a horse's long mane, and the tall nose under the mane was full of heavy breathing, as if the Brazilian horse had exhausted all its strength.

Suddenly, Duke reached out and grabbed the horse's long sideburns, manipulating it like a rein, and the horse below reacted violently, but could not escape his control at all.

It was a long journey and a fantastic one, and although the location did not change, the participants could enjoy the particularly beautiful scenery and even forget about their own existence.

Any journey has an end, and Duke and Ambrosio end with a visit to the bathroom.

Lying side by side in the large bathtub with foam, Ambrosio's eyes were always shrouded in a hazy mist, and she didn't seem to even want to move a finger, she didn't think about leaving until the end last night.

"Duke." She turned her head and lay down on her thick shoulders, Duke leaned down and kissed her on the corner of the lips, "Something?" ”

"Nope." Ambrosio shook his head slightly, "I just feel good to be with you." ”

Duke smiled and pinched her tall nose, "Then enjoy the moment." ”

Raising her chin, Ambrosio's two red lips kissed her, and Duke lingered with her again.

After a long time, when the two of them walked out of the bedroom and went to the dining room for breakfast, Duke sighed again behind the devilish bodies of these female models. It is an unbearable hellish torment for ordinary people, even if the madness of last night and this morning consumes a lot of body, Ambrosio's staple food is still vegetables, not to mention salad dressing, even salt and vinaigrette will not be put in.

"Anorexia is a common phenomenon in our industry."

Walking in the sun-drenched garden, Ambrosio took Duke's arm. "Just like most male models are GAY, if you don't have anorexia, you can't tell people that you're a model."

It was a little cold, and Wellington was a famous windy city, feeling the chill of the cold wind, Duke turned around and helped Ambrosio wrap his scarf more tightly, and walked towards the place where the sun was shining.

"It's not easy for every industry to get to the top." Duke's words. Ambrosio was deeply touched, "Yes, my toes have been deformed by high heels to this day. ”

She grabbed one of Duke's hands and pressed it against her hips, who were wearing shapepants, "To make it more curvy, I've been wearing five-inch heels every night since I was fourteen. Mop the floor in the apartment for two hours. ”

"Go for it, Coleen."

Wrap your arms around her slender waist. Standing on the sun-drenched yellow grass, Duke said, "You'll be more successful." ”

He turned around and smiled at Ambrosio, perhaps she, like the other models, had an extremely chaotic private life and could use all kinds of means to get to the top. However, he is very restrained in front of him, and at least the two of them get along relatively well.

Natalie? After Portman's affair, Duke became more wary of the women in the circle, and he thought that Ambrosio might make some demands. For example, adding drama for Arwen, or improving his treatment and status in Victoria's Secret, these are not difficult for him to do, but she didn't say anything, as if the two of them were just attracted to hormones, like all young men and women, only for the enjoyment and indulgence of the body, there was a relationship that must not last long.

Thinking of the girl with a complicated mind in New York, Duke's brows couldn't help but frown slightly, maybe he had seen too much and seen too much over the years, and he was a little tired of his current state of life.

Even the craziest playboy will feel a little tired after constant chasing and **.

People are not static, and as his experience deepens and he approaches his thirties, Duke's state of mind is also changing slightly.

"What do you think?" Ambrosio asked curiously.

"Nothing." Duke shook his head, enjoying the moment and his mind took over again, "It's just that I suddenly feel a little old." ”

"Old?"

Ambrosio reached over and slipped a hand through the hem of his coat, scratching hard at his strong chest, "Why didn't I feel it?" Would an old man have a body like yours? Will there be such energy and body as you? ”

"Are you seducing me, Coleen?"

Duke could feel it, and Ambrosio's other hand grabbed his belt buckle.

Ambrosio did not answer, but raised his chin slightly, and stared at Duke with those misty eyes.

Sticking out a finger, Duke lifted her chin, looked at her face closely, and leaned over Ambrosio to his shoulders and walked toward the woods in the garden.

After a crazy weekend, Duke was back on the shoot as if he had been recharged.

This week the crew is still divided into three, Anna? Prinz and Zach? Schneider was active on the north and south islands of New Zealand, and Duke, while busy with his own shooting, also had to review the shots shot by the two assistant directors, who had worked with him for many years, and except for a few shots, basically met Duke's requirements.

And only the footage is shot, and most of the footage has to be reprocessed by post-CGI.

Anna? Prinz was the first to complete this stage of the task, and it was time for the Angels of Victoria's Secret to leave Wellington, including Alexandra, who had not yet completed the role of Arwen? In a huge publicity, including Ambrosio, the elven angels of Duke flew out of Wellington International Airport on the Victoria's Secret & Lord of the Rings.

Some people left the crew, some returned to the crew, and some people reported recently.

Not long after the Victoria's Secret angels left, Ian? McLean temporarily ended his Magneto career and returned to the crew, and he came to the set of Wellington at the same time, as well as Andy who played Gollum? Serkis.

After the team assembled, Duke began filming the Fellowship squad again.

First of all, he and Andy? Serkis made some exchanges, this just starred in Peter? The alternative actor of Jackson's "King Kong" is really very knowledgeable about motion capture, and after testing some scenes about Gollum, Duke simply asked the crew to sign an assistant director contract with him.

In the Lord of the Rings trilogy, motion capture is used to shoot not only one character, but also various other monsters, and the crew also needs the guidance of a professional.

Leaving professional work to professionals is a principle that Duke has always adhered to, and he never believes that one person can solve all problems.

And Andy? Serkis quickly found a role in the scene where Duke prepares to shoot the Moria Mine, where both the Firefir and the Cave Troll are filmed in motion capture.

The cave trolls, in particular, are ready to star in person in order to add to the boos of the hype.

This is also the first role he played after saying goodbye to the California Institute of the Arts, although he was sure that his acting skills were bad enough, but the thought that Ang Lee could use motion capture to play the Hulk, Duke was full of confidence in himself.

Regardless, he has worked as an actor, although he has never had a line.

In the filming set set up in the Moria's Pit, Duke walked in crookedly, except for his face, his whole body was wrapped in a blue screen, and his body was densely covered with nearly 100 motion sensors, as long as the shooting started, all his movements would be captured and recorded, and directly substituted into the three-dimensional model of the cave troll that had been built by Studio Weta.

"Anna, you're in charge of the director's position."

Looking at his strange outfit, Duke made a final explanation to the crew before filming, "John, pay attention to the camera." ”

Both men nodded to Duke and sat in their seats.

Andy? Serkis walked over, and although the two sides had communicated fully before, he was sure that Duke's talent for acting was very average, so he came over to give a few words.

"Duke, motion capture is not just a technical job, I always think that performance capture is the same as performing a real character, the key is to figure out the psychology of the character, and then to express the action and expression through guò."

Hearing him say this, Duke couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "What is the psychological state of the role I played?" ”

He will star as a cave troll, aka an ogre.

Next to Orlando familiar with a move? Bloom, Shaun? Davis and Ian? McKellen forced a laugh and continued to work as serious, but Billy? Boyd couldn't help but grab Andy? Serkis said, "Of course you want to rush in and kill us, and then eat us!" ”

Everyone else laughed, Andy? Serkis said to Duke again, "Billy has a point. Duke, we'll all see how you play. ”

A prop master ran over and handed Duke a plastic hammer wrapped in a blue screen, and Duke waved it lightly, barely much.

But the shoot could not take place, and Weta technicians had to make the final technical preparations for Duke, adding a head-mounted camera to his blue hat and applying fluorescent paint dots to his face to solve the facial recognition problem.

In the whole motion capture shooting, the most difficult thing is the actor's facial expression capture technology, Hollywood first in order to capture facial expressions, is to rely on the form of reflectors, but the patch always has a size, and it is easy to block the line of sight when it is pasted on the face, affecting the actor's performance.

So, for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Peter? Jackson's King Kong, Weta Studios has made a series of innovations in motion capture technology. (To be continued......)
