Chapter 863: The End of the Age of Magic

With the arrival of June and July, Australia entered winter, and the crew was not affected by the change of seasons, rotating between Nicole's Golden Farm and Warner Movie World's studios, and also went to Newcastle, South Wales, in the middle, where after a short filming, went to the islands closer to the south to shoot some winter scenes about Lordaeron.

The $150 million production fee was clearly not enough, and Walt Disney added another $15 million investment. Theron also invested $15 million in the film, bringing the total production cost of the film to $180 million!

The pressure on Natalie is further increased, and if the film fails commercially, it is a complete tragedy.

As the leading actor, Ryan's life is not easy, after Charlize's investment is in place, she herself came to Australia, and the scene of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be a headache for anyone.

Compared to Natalie, Nicole treats Charlize kindly, anyway, this is Sandy's godmother, although the two also have extremely strict knots, but they don't have the kind of Cheng DΓΉ who doesn't talk to each other.

"This is the heroine chosen by Director Portman?" Charlize had a faint disdain in his tone.

There was no Ryan scene today, he asked for some finished master tapes from the crew to watch, and Charlize, who had nothing to do, also got to the film room.

"This is not a female mage at all."

According to Charlize's expectations, the role of Gianna originally belonged to her, but now she has to give up for some annoying reasons. Gado has prejudices, "She is more than wild, not enough refined, how do you look at Diana?" Prinz, not Gianna? Prodmoore. ”

Actually, Ryan understands. Charlize is right, after all, Gail? The image of Gado Wonder Woman is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Dear ......" Ryan turned off the player and rubbed his forehead helplessly, "It's just a vase character, and Gail has also made a lot of efforts." ”

"Okay, okay."

Raising his hand, Charlize stood up and turned behind Ryan, carefully placed his hand on his forehead, and rubbed it gently, "Don't worry." I know you're busy and tired, and I don't want to add to your troubles, and since Miss Kidman can turn a blind eye, I can do it too. ”

Turning his head, Ryan glanced at Charlize seriously, and a gentle smile hung on the face of the South African diamond, as if it had been ten years in the past.

Thinking about the troubles of this time. Ryan closed his eyes slightly, he was already satisfied to maintain his current state, too much extravagance would only upset the fragile balance that had been formed so hard.

Filming in Queensland has come to an end for the time being. The crew moved to Sydney, where they were in the studio of Fox Studios to begin filming the final and closing scenes of the first series, which was definitely the darkest moment in the history of cinema - Alsace had no choice? Reluctantly, Minecil raised his butcher's knife to the people he had sworn to protect. Letting go of the faith in the Holy Light, he walked into the dark abyss from which there was no way out.

It was impossible for the crew to build a Stratholme specifically for this purpose, and the filming was still carried out in a blue screen. The huge city will be composited using CGI technology in the later stage.

Since arriving in Sydney, these actors, including Ryan, have become the norm to wield weapons and fight with the air every day, and occasionally there are props on the stage, all of which are disgusting and scary skeletons, and even the props team has made several realistic abomination models, even if according to Natalie's request, plugging the stomach that is the most unbearable to look at, it is still very scary.

And Ryan's number of appearances on the stage has also plummeted, and now only two of the three stunt doubles remain, and the other has quit the crew due to injury while filming the battle scene on the farm.

These three stunt doubles are all Ryan's usual candidates, and the crew will not treat them badly, and there will be compensation for them, although Ryan and Disney are both black-hearted capitalists, they will not fail to the point of deducting the remuneration of the cast and crew.

At the same time as the filming, the promotion of the film was also carried out in an orderly manner under the full promotion of Disney.

At the just-concluded San Diego Comic-Con Comic Con, Disney Studios unveiled a 30-second "mood trailer" for the World of Warcraft movie, which included Natalie's hand-cut live action and computer special effects made of industrial light and magic.

These scenes show the battle between humans and orcs at the beginning of the film, which is full of epicness, and although there is nothing creative about such an opening, it is the best way to attract the audience's attention.

What's more, this is just the beginning of the promotion of the film.
