Chapter Ninety-Two: The Candidate for the Tree Man
The Last Alliance and the Final Battle were filmed very well.
The army of the imperial capital is not a pampered uncle, the imperial capital garrison who undertakes the protection of the imperial capital is one in a hundred Xiyun elite soldiers, and the military will regularly arrange the garrison to exterminate the demonic beasts in the imperial capital mountain range to maintain the state.
It was not difficult for these elite soldiers to shoot this kind of semi-posed shot, and after learning that Fang Yan was the filmmaker of "Bright Sword", the several group armies that were arranged to assist Fang Yan were very cooperative from top to bottom, and there was no situation of soldiers stirring up trouble.
The soldier's temperament is like this, when he sees that you are unhappy, he will respond to you with all kinds of tricks, but once he agrees with you, you can't pick a single thorn from head to toe.
The director Wu Zhoumu on the earth is a typical example, after filming "Blood", he was still beaten for more than ten years, Wu Zhoumu would rather drop seventy percent of his salary to shoot a foreign "Wind Whispering Warrior" than take the script of a domestic war film.
With the cooperation of such a group of soldiers in excellent condition, the final alliance and the final battle were all filmed in less than two days.
Next up is the tree man flooding Issinger.
The open ground arranged by the military is active and wide, and the dialect does not need to consider the problem of the venue at all.
In the original book, the two little hobbits, Rimeri and Pipin, were captured after the death of Boromo and escaped while the Rohan cavalry attacked the orcs and ran into the Fagon Forest, where they encountered a tree man named Treebeard.
Merry and Pippin ask the Treant to join the war, they don't want their friend to fight alone, but the Treant thinks they can't turn the tide and prefers to live a life of resignation.
The Tree Whisker sent Merry and Pippin out of the Fagon Forest to let them go home, and he saw a devastated sight of many trees that had been cut down by Saruman (Saruman's Industrial Revolution).
Enraged, the Treants decided to start a final battle, just as Isengard's defenders left, and the Treants eventually broke through Isengard, using the water from the reservoir to flood Isengard.
The siege of Isengar by the Treants was in a sense one of the turning points of the Third Age.
The Battle of Isengar and the Battle of the Valley of the Helmet were fought almost simultaneously, with the Battle of the White City taking place six days after the Battle of the Valley of the Helmet.
Without the participation of the Treants, it would not have been possible for Rohan to easily send troops to besiege Isengar and help Gondor after his victory in the Valley of the Helm, considering that while Saruman was attacking Rohan, Sauron had already captured the outskirts of Gondor's White City (not the outer city).
Without the Treants to capture Isengard, Rohan's attack on Isengar would inevitably cause the human world to be completely passive, and it would not be wise to be attacked on the back, so Rohan would most likely only send half of his troops to support the White City, so that Saruman would still have a chance to breathe and have time to reserve his strength.
At this time, the Fellowship of the Ring will not have time to catch up with the Doomsday Volcano, and if Gondor or Rohan falls, all that awaits Middle-earth is darkness, and it will be useless to destroy the Ring.
According to the scale of the Lord of the Rings movies on Earth, the height of the Treants is about fifteen to twenty meters, which is far more than the height of humans, even if Garcia has the blood of giants, the height is only about three meters.
If puppets are used, the creation is not much of a problem, but who will manipulate them? These treemen are not showmans.
When Fang Yan was worried, the friend of Old Man Zuo, Sal of the Giant Rock Clan, came over.
"Director Fang," Sal said angrily, "my people can play the role of a tree man." ”
“...... Aren't you stone people? Fang Yan raised his head and looked up at the five-foot tall giant 180 degrees, "Your size is not suitable, right?" ”
The body of the Boulder Clan is very large, like a small mountain, and the tree body in the Lord of the Rings is much more evenly proportioned, and the two are not at the same level of painting style at all.
You let Schwarzenegger play the undefeated East? It's just a hell of a thing.
"Size is not a problem," Fang Yan actually saw a playful smile in Sal's two-eyed face, "We can change the size." ”
After saying this, Sal put his hand on his neck and took off his head with a "click...... I took it off...... It's down......
Thrall then handed his head to the bewildered dialect with his left hand.
"The core of the Boulder Clan is the source stone in the chest, if it is only out of the shell for a period of time, we can do it, and my clansmen will also have some spells to manipulate the puppet."
“......”
"Can you put this head back first?" Fang Yan pointed to his head, which was still winking at him, "Panic." ”
"Haha, no problem." Sal laughed and put his head back again, "How about it, Director Fang thinks we can play the tree man?" ”
"If you can control the puppet, then it's fine," Fang Yan continued to look up at the big man, "How many of your people can you pull?" ”
"More than a hundred." Thrall thought for a moment and replied, "There is only such a small life of the Boulder Clan in Xiyun Country. ”
Fang Yan nodded, in terms of the territory of the empire, a population of more than a hundred people can be regarded as extremely rare, "Then ...... the salary?" ”
"The salary is still with spirit stones, is it okay?" Sal didn't hesitate.
"Of course," Fang Yan was a little curious, "what is the ......purpose of the spirit stone you get?" ”
"My clansmen also need to cultivate," Sal blinked, "And the spirit stone is also a reserve grain for winter, isn't it common sense that the stone in winter tastes bad?" ”
"......." What kind of common sense is this?
However, the problem of the tree man has finally been solved.
It didn't take much time to make a puppet model, and it only took two days for the "coolies" of the Tiangong Society of the three academies to make more than 100 puppets, and during this time, Saar's clansmen also arrived at the filming site one after another.
Also in the past two days, the earth mage worked hard to finally restore the Eisinger in the dialect's memory.
And then there's a very ghostly scene.
Hundreds of headless stone people walked to the tall treeman puppet with their heads in one hand and the glowing source stone in the other, and then put the source stones into the puppet, and after getting familiar with the puppet's body, these treemen put the stone head back into their original body.
For the crew members present, this scene was simply a baptism of three views.
