"Vigo, what's going on?"

In the studio, Duke looks at Vigo? Mortenson's eyes were a little cold, and on the side of the other party's forehead, there was a large bruise, "I believe you know the importance of the face to the actor!" ”

Although the bruises are only on the side of the forehead, they are extremely obvious, and they are not a problem that makeup can solve at all. Close-up of Mortenson's front, his scars have affected the shot.

With his arms folded over his chest, Duke frowned slightly and looked at Vigo? Mortenson, in fact, since the start of filming, he still has a very good impression of this actor, Vigo? Mortenson trained hard, excelled in riding, was extremely dedicated, and was not bad at understanding, and most of the actors needed to use stunt doubles to complete the scenes, which he himself could easily handle.

"I'm sorry, Duke." Vigo? Mortenson was just apologizing.

Ilya after putting on makeup? Wood and Billy? Boyd walked over from the periphery, saw that the scene was a little stiff, and after inquiring clearly, the former hurriedly walked in front of Duke.

"Duke, you can't blame Vigo for this." Elias? Seeing Duke's somewhat cold expression, Wood hesitated slightly, but said, "I caused his injuries. ”

Duke turned his head and looked at him, but did not speak, waiting for Ilya? Wood gave him an explanation.

"There's no drama for us these days." Elias? Wood hurriedly said, "I went to the ski slopes with Billy, Sean, and Vigo, and my skiing skills were average, and I knocked down Vigo when I rushed down the slopes......"

"You're doing well, Elijah."

Eyes respectively from Ilya? Wood, Billy? Boyd, Sean? Austin and Vigo? Mortenson swept over, and Duke said to the female assistant behind him, "Tina, inform the crew, during filming." All actors are not allowed to engage in excessively strenuous sports. ”

He instructed the assistant director next to him, "The play of William, Arwen and Aragon will be postponed and the Hobbit will be filmed this morning." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the three hobbit actors, "You guys go and prepare." We photographed the Prancing Horse. ”

Billy? Boyd stabbed Ilya? Wood, "Are we going to be out of luck?" ”

"What do you say?"

Elias? Wood turned his head and glared at him, "If you hadn't pushed me yesterday, I wouldn't have bumped into Vigo, and now we're all going to be out of luck." ”

Duke asks an assistant to inform Alessandra, who is still putting on makeup? Ambrosio took the crew to another studio, and the interior of the Prancing Horse Hotel had already been built, John? Schwartzman directs the placement of the cameras. Duke tells the stylist to change the looks of the four hobbits.

The makeup of the four people does not need to be changed drastically, what needs to be adjusted is the clothes, and then the big feet of the hobbit's long hair.

This is one of the most time-consuming makeup items, and it takes about an hour to put on this pair of silicone zuò feet, and the feet are disposable props that can only be scrapped after use, just the silicone zuò hobbit feet and elf pointed ears. The crew prepared nearly 2,000 pairs.

With Billy? Boyd and Elijah? Wood thought completely differently after they had put on their makeup. Filming was completely normal, no different from what it used to be.

Despite the accident, any time is precious to Duke, he doesn't have the leisure to accompany the actors, and the scene also brings in a large number of extras from the outside to serve as backgrounds. Nor is it at this moment that the authority of the director is manifested.

Vigo? Mortenson was also included in the shooting, as the hooded ranger did not need a close-up of the front, and the shadow of the hood could also hide the scars on his forehead.

“Cut！”

After Duke shouted to stop, the chaos in the studio immediately stopped.

He waved his hand at the actors, signaling that the shout stop had nothing to do with them. Then shouted to the film crew, "John, give Vigo's pipe and beard close-up." ”

After filming the Prancing Horse Hotel, the crew switched to filming the scene where the four hobbits enter the village of Bury, and New Zealand in August is not hot, even a little cold, and the four actors have to move forward in the pouring rain.

In the slightly dilapidated village where the sets and props are built, the artificial rain has been prepared, and Duke certainly doesn't use cold water, and he's not so frustrated, but the four actors are walking in the mud one foot deep and one foot shallow, and their heads are constantly falling into the water, which is definitely not good.

"Is Duke fixing us?"

Sit on a stool in the resting area, Billy? Boyd wiped the drops of water from his face and asked, "Why do I feel like it's raining so hard?" ”

"Do you think he's punishing us?" Elias? Wood shook his head, "If it were, he would never have shouted through guò all at once." ”

"Ilya has a point."

The oldest Sean? Austin stood up, "Let's go take a shower and change clothes, if we get sick, Duke will definitely punish us." ”

Filming is like this, there will always be some unexpected factors that suddenly jump out, even if the Ring Guard team does not have really popular actors, the atmosphere seems to be particularly harmonious, will there be something similar to Vigo? Mortenson's injury arose.

In the event of an accident, how to allocate the resources of the crew can be said to be one of the most basic abilities of the director.

Zach on location? Schneider also had some trouble, as a stuntman playing Lohan's cavalry fell from his horse and broke two ribs while filming, but the crew quickly negotiated a compensation deal with his agent, and the stuntman was admitted to a hospital in Wellington.

Like the epic masterpiece in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which contains a large number of wars, cavalry and other scenes, it is impossible to shoot without the actors being injured.

Especially the stunt stand-ins need to complete a variety of difficult actions, and bumps and bumps are basically commonplace.

Nearly a week later, Vigo? The scars on Mortenson's face faded, and Duke put back on the schedule the postponed scenes, which were the scene where Arwen found Aragorn and the four hobbits.

Alexandra? Ambrosio's hair was all dyed black, and her eyes were also dressed in black to match the image of the novel, and when she walked to the camera in a moss-colored elven warrior costume and carrying a long-handled elf scimitar, she attracted the admiration of many people.

Especially Billy? Boyd, an activist, shouted before the start of filming, "Colleen, you're so beautiful!" I decided to write one song for you, no, two! ”

The actor who plays Pipin is a music lover and has the ability to compose.

Hearing his words, Duke also became interested, and said loudly, "Billy, you can try to write some tunes, and if it meets my requirements, maybe I will use it as the theme song." ”

Billy? Boyd immediately came to his senses, "That's it, Duke." ”

Waving his hand over there, Duke walked into the filming location, surrounded by a green screen, there was a small piece of woods built, the trees in it were all made of plastic, and the shrubs and grass were also fake, but the zuò was very realistic, not to mention the shots that would be retouched in post, even if they looked like real to the naked eye.

Looked at standing here with Vigo? Is Mortenson familiar with Alexandra in position? Ambrosio, Duke walked up to the clump of Asiras, crouched down and took a closer look, this is the only plant in the scene with a close-up, and the only real plant, the original is a grass endemic to New Zealand found by the props team.

Asiras is also known as the king's grass in the original book, as the name suggests, it is also the herb used by the king, and Aragorn, who inherited the bloodline of Islam Dil and Esidor, was a natural healer, although he could not cure Frodo, but later healed Iowen and Faramir.

This identity and skill of Aragon is naturally the setting in the original book, and in the Gondor proverb written by Tolkien, there is such a sentence - the hand of the king is the hand of the doctor!

After going around the set, Duke routinely asked Vigo again? Morteson and Alessandra? Ambrosio said a few words, returned to the director's monitor, and told the scene reporter to prepare to start shooting.

The scene reporter immediately picked up the field note card and put it in front of the camera, "Scene 69, Act II, start now!" ”

Duke's eyes are basically on Arwen played by Ambrosio, and this scene is very important to Vigo, who has already entered the state? Mortensen wasn't difficult, while Ambrosio was only starring in a movie for the first time.

She didn't have any expression on her face, but just showed her most beautiful side in front of the camera, combined with the effect of clothing and modeling, and her innocent temperament was a little noble, especially the tight-fitting elf warrior suit, which highlighted the characteristics of her slender figure, which was very in line with Tolkien's setting for the elf race.

However, Ambrosio was only filming for the first time, obviously inexperienced, and the scimitar in his hand was placed in Vigo? When Mortensen was around his neck, he didn't control the angle and hung up Aragorn's tattered costume.

“Cut！”

Duke immediately shouted to stop, and Ambrosio immediately smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't control my actions." ”

"Keep up the feeling you just felt!" Duke admonished, waited for the actor to move again, and then shouted, "Go!" ”

NG twice, this one is smooth lì tong guò, the scenes filmed on this day are basically with Alexandra? Ambrosio, and most of the scenes in which she appeared had Aragorn appear, and the crew also launched the carefully built Rivendell for the first time.

This is the picturesque valley of the elves in the film, the long shots are mainly built with sets and blue screens, and the close scenes are a variety of elaborate zuò props, which are exquisitely like works of art, even Billy? Boyd also lamented that when the filming is over, he must collect a set, because the utensils used by the British royal family are not as exquisite as these.

Duke also promised that the leading actors, such as Ambrosio and the Fellowship of the Ring, would receive gifts from the crew when they finished their roles.

Filming is carried out day by day, and in addition to the hectic work, Duke will also organize some spare time activities as a concoction for the crew, after all, the combination of work and rest is king, and not everyone is a workaholic. (To be continued......)
