Chapter 378: Ryan and Aragorn
"It's a gift, it's the best weapon against Mordor!"
Gandalf's voice just fell, playing Sean of Boromil? Bin stood up and walked over to the stone table where the One Ring was placed, "Why don't you use this ring?" My father, the regent of Gondor, has been fighting Mordor's army outside the bay, and it is the bloody struggle of the people of Gondor that has saved you from giving Gondor the weapons against the enemy, so that we can use it against the enemy. ”
"You can't handle it, none of us can."
With long black hair hanging down his shoulders and a thick beard is Ryan's resolute face, and now it's his turn to play Aragorn, "The One Ring only listens to the call of Sauron alone, he has no other master!" ”
"Then how much do you know about a mere ranger?" Borromel clearly did not take Aragorn to heart.
Aragorn was silent and did not refute, and Legolas, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly stood up, "He is no ordinary ranger, he is Aragorn, the son of Arazon, and you must be loyal to him." ”
With ten cameras of all sizes surrounding the meeting venue, the group scene has been NG dozens of times before, and now the actors, including Ryan, have finally found their groove.
As Legolas revealed Aragorn's identity, the rest looked at him in surprise.
"Aragorn?" Boromel was no exception, "You are the descendant of Essidor?" ”
Hearing the other mention the name of his ancestor, the silent Aragorn raised his head.
"And the heir to the throne of Gondor." This sentence still comes from the lips of the most beautiful people at the meeting.
"Sit down, Legolas." Aragorn suddenly changed his Quenya language, as if he didn't want the heir from the Dark Forest to mention his other identity.
"Gondor doesn't have a king, and Gondor doesn't need a king."
This was Borromil's response, and he sat back down, keeping his eyes fixed on Aragorn.
“Cut!” Peter? Jackson stood up from behind the main camera and let out a sigh of relief. shouted, "It's over, rest for half an hour." ”
Ryan stood up and walked towards the booth lounge, as cautious as the rest of the cast and actresses, for fear of touching the surrounding set and intricately crafted prop models.
Rivendell, the beautiful elven city in the movie, used a lot of sets and model props, plus post-production modifications after filming. Made.
Ryan has been in the filming for a few days, and after a period of adaptation, he gradually found the feeling of Aragorn, but the group scene filmed today involved many actors, not to mention, and their stand-ins to join it, the number of NGs naturally skyrocketed.
Behind every main actor, there may be one or more stand-ins, such as Orlando who plays Legolas? Bloom. All action scenes without close-ups are done by stuntmen, and some action scenes with frontal shots also use stuntmen to replace their image in post-production.
And the hobbits. Elias? Wood and the others are not short, although their height problem can be solved to a certain extent through the abridgement technique, but Peter? Jackson still struggled. Seven actors, who are only three feet tall, were brought in, and almost all of the shots of the hobbits standing with other races were to be done by them wearing masks.
Also facing the height problem is Jin Li. John, the actor who plays him? Davis is 6 feet 1 inch tall, but his stand-in is a female stuntman, and it is said that when Kim Bolt and Legolas were riding on a horse this month, he was still with Orlando? Bloom sparked a lot of sparks.
The filming speed of the entire crew, although it is controlled by Peter? Jackson is in his hands, but he is deeply influenced by makeup artists, like Ryan and Sean? Actors who have grown their own hair such as Bin often only need to stick their beards and work on their costumes and faces, which usually takes two hours to solve.
And Orlando? Bloom and Ian? McLean and others also need to wear wigs, and the handsome British student even shaved his head in order to make it more convenient to wear a wig.
John? In addition to the height problem, Davis's makeup is a very troublesome one in the ring team, he needs to apply silicone to his face to change the contour, and the makeup alone will take more than three hours, so the shooting speed is not fast.
The most troublesome are the stuntmen who play the half-orcs, and when it is their turn to appear, they will start to put on makeup in the early hours of the morning, and this process often lasts about ten hours, and then shoots for another four to five hours, which is very, very hard and very, very troublesome.
In between filming, the actors get together to chat and joke, which has become the best way to relax in the busy.
"Without a doubt, Ian is the best of you, he was made for Gandalf." Peter? After Jackson dealt with the matter at hand, he rarely joined in the small talk.
"May I ask you any secrets?" Ryan asked cooperatively.
"The secret of good acting is ......" Ian? McLean pretended to smile mysteriously, and then said, "The secret of good acting is that no matter how early you get up, how long you wait, how many times you change the start time, as soon as the camera starts, you have to get into the play immediately, integrate into the role, there is no time to waste, otherwise, you will face Peter's roar!" ”
"That's a standard answer."
Not only Ryan, but the rest of the people with pricked ears waved their arms in protest at the same time.
"We don't have enough actors now, and many scenes can only be rescheduled." Peter? Jackson talked about the next shooting plan, "The casting director of the crew searched all over New Zealand, and we couldn't find so many handsome guys and beauties to play elves, so we had to shoot other scenes first." ”
"Maybe Peter could make a cameo in one of them." Sean? Bing pinched his chin and looked Mr. Director up and down.
"Yes, we have two handsome guys, Ryan and Orlando, and I think everyone doesn't want to look at handsome guys anymore, and we may need more alternative elves." Alan as a concept designer? Lee also came over at this time.
"The problem is that Peter is more of a hobbit." Is the person who speaks Sean playing Sam? Austin.
"I've heard that Weta Studios' computer skills are amazing, maybe you can use the post-production techniques to make this kind of special effect and make Mr. Jackson look like an elf?"
Hear Aurado? Bloom's joke, Ryan patted the handsome boy on the shoulder, and said very seriously, "Believe me, Orlando, this kind of technique is not available in the current Weta Studio, and it will not be in the past ten years!" ”
Everyone laughed at the same time, and Ryan continued, "Peter, unless you lose weight, you should play the role of a strong orc or a pirate." ”
"Okay, Ryan, for the sake of you finding your form, I don't bother with you." The big fat man in New Zealand seemed to be very generous, waved his hand and walked towards the director's chair, "I heard that you have hired a special swordsmanship instructor, and you don't plan to use stuntmen in the next action scenes?" Rest assured, I will definitely meet your request...... Well, it seems that the difficulty of Aragorn's fight is too low, we should redesign his action scenes to make them more difficult, and make Aragorn look worse when he fights......"
A few months before filming began, most of the cast gathered together for nearly two months of special training, and only Ryan took advantage of his privilege and did not come to participate, Peter? Jackson's somewhat disgruntled was completely understandable.
Also, although he agreed to Ryan to play Aragorn, in fact, until the filming of Aragorn's scene began, he was worried about whether Ryan would be too young......
The day's shooting was over quickly, and after removing his makeup, Ryan specially asked the props team for his own special weapon, the Nasir Holy Sword.
This is not an aluminum sword or a rubber sword, except that it has no blades and is slightly lighter, it is a real steel sword.
"Hey, Ryan, what are you going to do?"
Just walked out of the big warehouse where the props team was, Ryan ran into Orlando, who was also here? Bloom, the British student greeted politely, "Sean wants to have a treat in the evening, do you want to go together?" ”
"Forget it, I'm still not going." Ryan knew that the place they were going to was a bar in Queenstown, "You know, I can't drink." ”
"Okay then." Orlando? Bloom saw the sword he was carrying at his waist and asked curiously, "Going to the woods again?" Ryan, if you continue like this, you'll become a real Ranger. ”
Ryan waved his hand and walked towards the stable, and in the last few days after the shoot, he would ride around the nearby woods a few times, like Orlando? As Bloom said, experience the life of a ranger, and secondly, to hide from Charlize? Theron.
Despite the fact that South African Diamond is still a good friend, Ryan can vaguely feel something, and out of the most basic respect for his friend, he can't speak ill of each other when the other party comes to the door, so he has to hide from it.
"Brigo, don't you know me after only a day of not seeing me?"
Ryan walked over to the placed maroon steed, which would be his main mount for the shoot, "Okay, we're still a little stranger now, but I'm sure we'll be friends." ”
As he spoke, he stepped on the horse's back and asked the trainer holding the reins, "Roy, do you have any tips for building a bond with the horse?" Be fast......"
"The easiest way ......," said the trainer, pointing to the stable, "sleeping in the stable with Brigo." ”
"It's a good idea." The corners of Ryan's mouth twitched, and he took the reins, driving Brigo toward the woods in the distance.
After two laps around the woods, Ryan stopped in front of a small open area in the middle, and after letting Brigo enjoy the fresh food, he drew the Nasir Sword and brushed up on the swordsmanship he had practiced specifically for the shoot, which would come in handy in a short time.
