Chapter 860: The Power of the Light

“Cut! This one has passed ......"

Natalie's voice came from behind the monitor, Ryan stopped his movements, threw the power of Minethiel in his hand to the prop master who came over, wearing metallic armor and a golden wig, and walked around the huge IMAX3D camera and walked to Natalie's side.

Looking at the replay footage, Ryan held his chin, "My fighting moves are still very standard, and the special training in the past few months has still been effective." ”

The brown eyes turned to this side, and returned to the monitor, and Natalie, who had entered the director's state, didn't bother to pay attention to Ryan at all, just carefully watched the footage that had just been filmed.

This is a great battle between the prince of Arthas and the orc Juggernaut in order to rescue his people, in which the green-skinned orcs are completely filmed using motion capture, and under the pre-built model, the actor whose name Ryan doesn't remember at all is not bad, even if he can't compete with Andy, an expert in this area? Serkis is still enough to cope with such a scenario.

The fight was not edited or otherwise post-processed, but Natalie patiently watched it a few times before finally nodding in satisfaction.

"Well done......"

After she entered the working state, she had the style of the Oscar for Best Director, "Keep it in the current state." ”

"No problem."

Regardless, Ryan will uphold the director's authority on the set, "My director's lady. ”

Natalie nodded to this side, and then called the assistant, "Notify the crew, change the scene." ”

Dressed in awkward latex armor, Ryan walked out of the studio, reapplied his makeup, and moved into a smaller studio next to him, where the crew was under the command of Natalie. In front of the blue screen, lights and cameras are placed in an orderly manner.

Like any other magical epic, the film uses a lot of CGI compositing shots, and shooting in front of a blue screen is the norm.

"Ryan!"

After a short pause in the crew's work, Ryan heard Natalie's shout, and he was greeted by Gail, who came in later. Gado shrugged his shoulders and walked over.

"It's a very crucial scene."

Sitting behind the monitor, Natalie held her coffee cup and said, "As the heir of the entire kingdom and the hope of all its subjects, Arthas has always wanted to have the power to protect the kingdom and its people. He himself thirsted for this power, and when he discovered that the power he had, the power of his Light, could not fully protect his people and his country, his psychology naturally changed, and this was also the beginning of the righteous prince's gradual journey towards the abyss because of his thirst for power......"

After saying that, Natalie stood up again, pulled Ryan to the blue screen in front of the camera, and told them one by one to move and other precautions.

Despite writing this script with his own hands. Ryan didn't have any carelessness, the script is not the same as the movie, the shooting is a director-led process, and it has been a few weeks since he arrived in Australia. He also learns a lot about Natalie's ideas that are beneficial and harmless to the film.

"Scene 47, Act 21......"

When Yiqiē was ready, the assistant director's voice rang out. "Let's get started!"

Is this Alsace? The beginning of Minethiel's psychological transformation!

After paying a terrible price in casualties, Arthas's army finally defeated the rampaging greenskinned orcs, and he himself killed the orc Juggernaut. But it was too late, and by the time he found the people of the kingdom who had been kidnapped and held hostage by the orcs, they were already dying.

The people who loved him, who supported him, who he had sworn to protect, were clearly cursed with some kind of evil, lying flat on the filthy land contaminated by the orcs, their faces twisted in pain, black blood clots flowing from their mouths and noses......

Arthas, played by Ryan, threw away the hammer in his hand and strode over, kneeling on one knee in front of a man, his palm lightly covering his gray-black face.

"May the Light be with you......"

He muttered, as if to unleash some mysterious power, "O Infinite Light, please give me the power to dispel the darkness and evil that the earth is tainted with!" ”

However, the invincible power of the Light had no effect, and as Arthas watched, the man he had sworn to protect took his last breath.

With a loud bang, Arthas's fist slammed into the ground, and the young prince's face was full of anxiety, but he quickly stood up and walked back and forth through the cursed crowd, almost exhausting his power of light, but unable to save the lives of any of them, not even a few of them.

One by one, they died in front of him, and although they could not speak before they died, they all looked at Arthas with hopeful eyes, as if they hoped that His Royal Highness, the prince they loved, could save their lives.

This vision pierced the heart of Arthas like a knife, a young and upright prince who had been well sailed since birth, who had been loved by thousands of people, and who had sworn to protect the people who had embraced him with his life, and who he had sworn to protect were now dying in agony before his eyes, like a big hand, holding the fragile and sensitive heart of Arthas.

His body trembled slightly, and his young and handsome face was full of remorse, pain and anger written on it like a lion cub who had been provoked and was powerless to fight back!

If he had pursued a little faster, this qiē might not have happened!

If he could easily solve the sniping enemies on the road, this qiē might not happen!

If his battle with the Orc Sword Master hadn't dragged on for so long, this qiē might not have happened!

If his Light could be as omnipotent as Uther said, this qiē might not have happened!

If he had more power than the Lightbringer and the King of the Hill, this qiē might not have happened!

"No!"

Remorse, pain, and anger filled Arthas's heart, and he fell to his knees and roared loudly, "No ......"

The young prince, at this moment, finally felt his responsibility, a heavy responsibility that he had never felt before, and it weighed heavily on his shoulders like a black stone mountain.

The prince, who was like a flower in a greenhouse, felt a deep sense of frustration, he had never thought that there were still things in this world that he could not do, and that there were threats that the power of the Light could not solve, and even that the Light he believed in was shaken.

Thinking of what the orc Swordmaster said before he died, Arthas understood that this matter was not so simple, and there was a murderer behind him who had not yet appeared.

"I don't care who you are, what powerful and evil power you have!"

Grabbing a handful of blood-soaked soil, the young prince's upright eyes flashed with a sinister look that had never been seen before, "I will definitely find you and kill you, I swear!" Am I in Alsace? Minethiel's Honor Swears! ”

Slowly walking past the dead people, Arthas closed his eyelids for them one by one, the prince's heart was filled with anger and vengeance, and a trace of imperceptible cruelty hung on his sunny and handsome face!

Also, perhaps even he didn't realize that his heart, which had been thirsting for power since childhood, already had a quest for greater power at this moment.

These are just seeds, and without the right soil, Arthas would still be the beloved prince of the kingdom of Lordaeron.

“CUT!”

Natalie's voice suddenly sounded, she left the director's chair, walked directly to Ryan, walked between the pieces of humanoid props wrapped in the blue screen used as corpse material, and stomped back and forth a few steps, before saying, "Ryan, you should be more angry now, your performance just now was too heavy, pay attention!" Pay attention to the critical line of anger. ”

The makeup artist next to him was touching up Ryan's makeup, and Ryan took the time to say, "I understand. ”

"That's good." Natalie nodded, walking in the direction she had come, "Let's do it all over again." ”

Although it is somewhat difficult compared to Captain America, but Arthas? A character like Minahill can't help Ryan at all, what he needs to balance most is Arthas's mental journey of constantly sliding towards the abyss, which is a process of constant transformation and stimulation of time and external factors, if it is too hasty, it will only turn into a divine turn.

That wasn't what he wanted.

Again, this is not the outcome that Natalie wants.

This is Natalie's first time directing a super-production with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is impossible to do without pressure, she strives for perfection in every shot, and even if Ryan's second performance is good enough, she still forces the crew to shoot a few more times in order to collect more material for the post-production cut.

At the end of the day's shooting, Ryan was finally able to change out of that awkward armor.

"Tired, aren't you?"

As soon as he finished removing his makeup, Natalie knocked on the door and walked into the dressing room, placing a cup of coffee in her hand on the table in front of him, "You have a lot of shots these days, it will be fine in a few days." ”

"Who let me join the crew the latest?" Ryan laughed at himself, picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip, "Nat, are you sure this is not intentional revenge on me?" ”

"I'm not as boring as you."

Natalie clasped her hands to her chest and sat down on the chair next to her, "In order to save the budget, I can only arrange the scene you fall into a tighter way." ”

"Alright, dear."

Ryan stood up first, then pulled Natalie out of her chair and led her outside, "It's been a tiring day, we should go back and rest." ”

The studio rented by the crew is located in Warner Movie World on the Gold Coast of Australia, and the residence of Ryan and others was not arranged in Brisbane this time, but rented an entire tourist hotel nearby.

First took the battery car to the parking area of the set, and after changing to the RV, the two ignored the reporters blocking the door of the set and returned directly to the hotel.

The crew is the only guest in the hotel, and after entering the hotel, they can no longer feel the hustle and bustle outside, Ryan just wanted to pull Natalie to the elevator, and from the rest on the other side, a familiar crisp children's voice suddenly came.

"Daddy ......" (To be continued......
