Chapter 138: It's Already Different

"Open the door! Open the gates! As the quiet trumpet sounded, and after rushing to the city to see the approaching procession, a man in the form of a captain in chain mail shouted.

After the gate of the Valley of the Holy Helmet opened, a group of elves wearing cloaks and carrying longbows walked in neatly and powerfully, although they did not say a word all the time, only the sound of snapping footsteps, but this calmness made the soldiers who were looking at them around them, who originally seemed to be uneasy, slowly calm down.

"How is this possible?" King Theodon, who received the news, hurried over and was stunned when he saw the long procession.

A handsome elf in armor and a crimson cloak bowed slightly to the king: "King Elon of Rivendell has asked me to tell me that elves and humans have been allied for a long time, and we fought side by side and lived and ......died together a long time ago."

His words were firm and powerful, his eyes were bright, and he was indomitable, and at the same time, Aragorn, who heard the sound of the trumpet, rushed out with Legolas and the golden thunderbolt.

“…… Fulfill the covenant again today. The elf's gaze involuntarily looked at Aragorn.

"Fortunately, Hardir." Aragorn looked a little excited, and as he was about to shake hands with Hardir, he simply hugged him, "It's great that you guys are here. ”

The elf was a little surprised, but then smiled and patted the other party's back, not paying attention to his action, which seemed a little rude in the eyes of the elf.

Then, Hardir and Legras patted each other on the shoulder, and then looked at King Siyodon again: "It's an honor to fight alongside humans again." ”

“Cut!” A voice rang out at this time, and then after more than ten seconds, a noisy inhaling sound sounded around the surroundings, and the formation that had been very neat before became loose, and people began to talk in twos and threes.

"Very good, that's the end of today's shoot!" Five or six minutes later, Jackson's voice rang out through the horn.

Immediately, cheers rang out from the crowd, and more people began to find a place to rest. Then the lights went out, the wide curtain that had been erected was torn down, and the sky outside was still dim, which was completely different from the night scene presented in front of the camera during the previous shooting, which was the magic of the movie.

"Please wait, Mr. Tang." As Sean sat down in the make-up room, the make-up artist who was removing the makeup of Davis, who played Kim Bolt, said this.

"No problem." Sean nodded, Davis is really hard, as I said before, it takes him hours just to put on makeup, and these things will fall off a layer of skin when they are worn in a day.

"I still take off my lenses as before." He said so again, then opened the small contact lens box and opened his eyelids with his fingers in the mirror.

His shili is actually very good, otherwise no one would say that his eyes are like the bottom of a deep lake, so the contact lenses he wears are actually beautiful contacts that change the color of his pupils. According to the Lord of the Rings novels, Hardir has long blonde hair and dark blue eyes.

Even if the eyes are very dark, you can't see the difference between them and other eyes unless you look closely. But Jackson doesn't think so, he is very strict with details, even if there is a problem with a flag, he has to reshoot, how can he tolerate the eye color of important characters, so when filming began last year, Sean was required to wear contact lenses.

"Hey, Orlando, why do you look a little exhausted?" After Bloom walked over and sat down, waiting for the makeup artist to remove his makeup, Sean teased with a smile.

"Of course, we've been filming in this place for almost a month, and we're going to continue filming for another month, and maybe we'll have to go back to reshoots in the future...... The thought of this sends chills down my body. Bloom sighed.

As early as a month ago, the scenes of the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet began to be filmed, and even at the beginning of the year, Jackson had people start building the location. The backdrop for the Valley of the Helmet is a derelict quarry on the outskirts of Wellington, which is rocky and uninhabited, giving it a desolate and quaint feel, and a tall and wide stone wall that is perfect for close-up shots.

Of course, the vision had to be modeled, for which the VFX studio produced 64 models of various sizes, and Jackson's fat man planned to rent the stadium in Wellington and recruit a group of fans to shout and synthesize the roars of the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helm. How to say it, he and Xinxian are willing to spend money on this, but they don't have a dime in terms of salary.

Back to the topic, filming in that kind of environment, even if there is protection, there will be abrasions or something if you don't pay attention to it, stains all over your body are a common thing, and you have to change your clothes to shoot one or two shots - the crew prepared more than a dozen sets of the same costumes for the main actors. In this case, anyone who comes will be miserable, let alone Bloom, who has been filming for almost a month.

"If you feel cold, it's because of a cold, and it has nothing to do with movies." Sean continued to tease.

"We're not like you, Sean, we're all going to have to stay on this crew for a long time, not leave after a month." Bloom replied in a joking tone, but at the same time with a hint of sarcasm.

After Sean laughed twice, he didn't say anything, patiently waited for the makeup artist to come and remove his makeup, then went to the locker room to change into normal clothes, said hello to Jackson, who was still busy for a while, and got into the crew's car back to Wellington.

One of the advantages of filming in the quarry is that it is very close to the city, although it is in the suburbs, it only takes dozens of minutes to enter the city. Although the shooting here is more intense, unless necessary, for example, the lighting team can't make the morning light that the director wants, and needs to collect natural morning light, Jackson will ask everyone to stay in the quarry for one night, and usually go back to the hotel in the city.

This makes Sean like it very much, New Zealand's population is still a little smaller, in December last year, he spent the night outside with the crew, and it felt like the whole shijie was quiet, and they were the only ones left. Although this feeling has been felt in the United States, such as going out camping with a few friends or something, it is not as strong as here.

Although the United States is also sparsely populated, and many times the streets of the city will be very calm as long as it is night, but there are also many lively places, especially the big coastal cities, which can be regarded as the city that never sleeps. In addition to Auckland, other cities in New Zealand are second-tier in the United States at best, and even Wellington, the capital, feels quite quiet in the middle of the night.

This is true even in big cities, not to mention those ordinary small towns, although there are many such small towns in the interior of the United States, but Sean has never been to it after all, and it was New Zealand that first gave him this experience, so he is relatively more willing to stay in a crowded place here.

Besides, the conditions in the city are stronger than in the wilderness after all, at least there are no bars in the camp.

"Do you want to taste it, this is not America." Sean raised his glass and grinned at Elijah? Wood shook.

"Forget it." Wood hesitated.

"Okay, Elijah, it's not a big deal to try, I heard that you've been to gay bars with Mr. McLaren, what's wrong with having some drink?" Sean shoved the cup into his hand.

"Nothing was a problem, it was just...... I've never drunk whiskey. Wood shook his head.

"If you haven't drunk it, you have to taste it, if you are worried that it will not taste good, or if it is stimulated in the past, then take a small sip of it." Sean was on the side.

At his urging, Wood finally brought the cup to his lips, took a sip and coughed repeatedly, and Sean thumped his back a few times in the daxiao. After this little bit of wine was drunk, Wood's words finally increased, and he was as cold as he had been when he first met.

When the news came, many people were stunned, saying how could it be, the 19-year-old Oscar nominee for Best Actor, this is too exaggerated. But the news was quickly confirmed, and the people who had questioned it before shut up, and of course, I was no longer among them, although I was surprised, but I knew ......" Without saying a few words, Wood began to talk about Sean's nomination, and talked incessantly under the influence of alcohol.

Although Sean rubbed his head with a little headache, he also sighed in his heart because of this, as expected, it was indeed the case.

When he returned to the Lord of the Rings crew after a four-month hiatus, he found that the atmosphere had changed a little differently. When he left before, even if Bloom didn't deal with him very well, it didn't show it obviously, and the others were basically able to get along. But now that they came, although they had greeted him, their attitude was not as close as before.

This is probably the price of becoming famous too quickly, Sean was just an unknown young actor before, although he played the leading role in the works of Oscar directors, but before the movie was released, no one could say what would happen in the future, so they easily accepted him. And now, the movie is a big hit at the box office, has a good reputation, and is nominated for the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar, and suddenly became the most dazzling rookie actor at the beginning of the millennium, leaving them behind.

Many times this is the case, when a group of people have a good relationship, but not to the point of intimacy, one of them should be the bottom of the circle, but suddenly because of his own efforts to become the most prominent person, then he will gradually be excluded. What's more, Sean has been absent from the crew for almost four months, even if he wants to make some redemption moves, it is impossible, and this time is enough for any unpleasant topics to ferment.

So, Bloom would respond to his ridicule with that kind of remark, so when he returned to Wellington and unexpectedly met Wood, who was on location elsewhere, the latter simply said hello to him. Hell, if it weren't for Sean dragging Wood to the bar for a drink, I'm afraid the relationship between them would be like this in the future.

No wonder when he got off the plane, Jackson hinted to him that he should pay attention to something, which was really unhappy.
