Chapter 63: Preparations (I)
After Fang Yan went out of the inner city to say goodbye to Vice President Lin, he couldn't wait to rush home.
Jumping's injury had basically healed, and as soon as Fang Yan got home, the stupid cat pounced and licked wildly.
"Don't make a fuss, silly cat." Fang Yan stroked Hop's neck, and Hopping Hop ran back to the nest with a few comfortable "meows" - Dialect made a simple cat nest with cardboard boxes and some old clothes, and Hop Hop is quite satisfied so far.
After entering the bedroom, Fang Yan added a first-order confinement technique to the door - mainly to prevent jumping, and then sat up on the bed.
Trying to mobilize the dermis in his body, Fang Yan soon found that the speed of the true qi was many times faster than before, and sure enough, the root bone was transformed, at least before the fourth order, there was no need to worry too much about the lack of qualifications.
After running for a few weeks, Fang Yan stopped cultivating, and he wasn't going to spend too much effort on cultivation, just finish running the weeks that should run every day, and let this kind of thing go with the flow.
The dialect removed the confinement technique, and when he opened the door, he saw where Hop was scratching the door, Hop Hop has a beautiful and short appearance but has a Siamese-like sticky personality, as long as the dialect is at home, Hop Hop will not stay in the nest for long and will run over and get tired of the dialect.
Maybe in the dialect, I feel the warmth I have never experienced, I don't have to worry about food or shelter, I don't have to worry about being exposed to the wind and sun, and I don't have to worry about other adult monsters bullying it.
The little jumping head didn't know that this creature with a big face on its two feet was called a human, but it knew that it was this big-faced creature that gave it delicious food and a warm nest, and that was enough.
The unobtrusive jumping is still very pleasing, hopping lazily crawling on the dialect table, the tail gently sweeping back and forth, and the rustling sound when it comes into contact with the paper.
Fang Yan began to think about the script of "The Lord of the Rings" and the preparation of the crew.
The script is not difficult, unlike "Bright Sword", "The Lord of the Rings" can be moved directly to the Yunyao Continent without any changes, even if it is the Middle Earth Continent, the place names of Rivendell can also be copied, and it can be brought over with a fictional background.
In terms of scripts, dialects can be written as long as the store is closed for a day or two, and anyway, the physique of a cultivator will not be sour when he writes for a few hours—this is what many student parties dream of.
What really burns the brain is the actors, as well as the scheduling of filming locations and personnel.
There are seven or eight scenes of tens of thousands of battles in "The Lord of the Rings" (including the prologue of the first act), such as the Battle of Black Mountain, the Battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, etc., and these scenes of dispatching tens of thousands of people (the average number of orcs on the attacking side is about 200,000), it is necessary to ask for help from the Imperial military.
In terms of the current relationship with the Empire, the military has little possibility of refusal, but it is one thing to agree, and it is another to arrange the dispatch.
Although the filming location has not yet been determined, the war plot dialect will definitely not choose a location outside the imperial capital, although this magic shadow has nothing to do with patriotic feelings, but if the dialect is really stupid to run outside the eyes of the empire to shoot the war plot, it would be stupid.
This is the first magic shadow of the "honeymoon period" of dialects and empires, and if dialects run to which corner and want to borrow troops with the royal family, most of them will be three waves of disease.
Therefore, the filming of this magic shadow and war scenes must not be separated from the imperial capital.
In this way, the army dispatch in the heart of the empire needs to be arranged in advance, whether it is in the previous life or this life, and no matter which country, the large-scale dispatch of the army in the heart is absolutely sensitive.
How to inform the public that this is just a scheduling to shoot the shadow? How many people do you need for each session? How many days are there between the first and second time? These should be negotiated in advance.
For example, the two sides agreed to dispatch 20,000 regular troops and 100,000 orc auxiliaries to shoot a certain war scene in a week, and the empire arranged for these soldiers to take turns one day in advance, but they couldn't shoot on the day of the accident, so this is not a small trouble.
The same is true for some military dramas that require troops to participate in the previous life, when it comes to the dispatch of more than a certain number of troops, how many people are dispatched, and how long the dispatch time, all need to be repeatedly studied and simulated dozens of times at least two months in advance, and even the weather conditions need to be tested for several weeks before the official arrangement can be made.
The famous Shungeng Military Region on the earth has an error requirement for the dispatch time, which is even measured in minutes.
If you want to shoot a big scene, you can't do it without putting a little effort into it.
In addition to the scheduling problem, there is also the choice of venue.
The map of "The Lord of the Rings" spans a lot, from the Hobbit inhabited by Charles Habiton, to the vast forest and fairyland-like fairy Pure Land of Ravendell, and then to Mordor in the third "Return of the King", Gondor, the site selection and environmental realism require a lot of work.
Habiton and Rivendell are not difficult, the empire is vast, and you can always find the right terrain and landforms with a little more thought, there are no large-scale war scenes in these two scenes, and the crew can go over at any time anywhere in the empire.
For example, Mordor and the Valley of the Holy Helmet, these grand scenes of the Lord of the Rings War scenes, if you can't find a suitable location near the imperial capital, you must use spells to simulate them through earth mages.
These big scenes can't be simplified, in the battle of the Valley of the Holy Helmet, when the Saruman army approached the city, the white-robed Gandalf appeared from the slope with the holy light, and then tens of thousands of reinforcements rushed down the slope together, I don't know how many people were shocked.
If the scene were changed to Gandalf in white robes using a super forbidden spell to wipe out all of Saruman's army, the effect of support would have been achieved, and the scene might have been quite spectacular (e.g. countless meteors falling down), but then the scene would only be spectacular.
The Battle of the Valley of the Helmet was a time of humanity in the Lord of the Rings, when the kingdom of Rohan Hiudon took refuge in the Valley of the Helm, and Saruman led 10,000 orcs to attack the Valley of the Helmet, which had only 300 defenders.
The Rohans went from hesitation to anger to sacrifice themselves in the Battle of the Valley of the Helm, showing the fearlessness of human nature, and finally in despair, Gandalf arrived with reinforcements.
This is not only a reflection of the grandeur of the scene, but more importantly, it shows the help of the people of Middle-earth when the crisis comes, at this moment there is no difference between kings and commoners, there is no difference in the size of the country, everyone is sacrificing their lives for the same goal.
If there were no reinforcements, Gandalf would indeed die if he "bombarded" the enemy with a forbidden spell, but what was the point? Could it be that telling the audience that countless people sacrifice their lives is no better than a superhero?
Fang Yan wanted to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", not American comics.
ps: There are many translations of "The Lord of the Rings", the hobbits are also translated into hobbits, some of Rohan are translated into Rohan, and the third part of "The Return of the King" is also translated into "The Return of the King".
