Chapter 393 Back to New Zealand

Please remember the website address:; Please recommend the promotion and introduction to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post bar! The Lord of the Rings trilogy, there are several highlights, such as the Moria mine, such as Helm's Deep Battles, such as the defense of Minas Tirith, etc., all required a lot of prep work, and some almost completely required set up and shooting, and when Ryan returned to New Zealand, the crew was running around, shooting some fragmentary exterior shots. One second to remember The fastest update of popular novels

In order to save time, Peter? Jackson simply leased several helicopters as transportation.

The humming propellers brought snowflakes all over the sky. Two helicopters parked on a ski resort in the Southern Alps one after another. Ryan and other members of the Fellowship team jumped out of the helicopters one after another.

The crew has already contacted the ski resort and will shoot some scenes about the snow-capped mountains here.

But after Ryan and the others finished their make-up and the crew set up the equipment and studio, they still had to wait, because an important member of the Fellowship of the Ring team, Lord Boromir, was still on his way.

Sean Bean, who plays Boromir, has a very serious phobia of flying. Every time he can only take a car--horse or walk where the car can't pass--to rush to the location, this has become the norm, too. People often use it as an excuse to joke around.

Next time, we can tie Sean to the plane and his phobia will be healed just once.

The weather was cold, and everyone gathered together to drink hot coffee and chat, Ryan shook his head after hearing the unreliable suggestion, I believe Sean got off the plane, and the first thought was to use Boromir's wide range. Sword, stab some holes in you. Trust me, John. He'll do it.

I think Sean is more likely to have a heart attack, said Elijah Wood, playing with the Lord of the Rings.

Ryan drank the remaining hot coffee in the cup and walked behind the camera, Peter, how is it going?

It's slower than expected. The fat man from New Zealand helped his eyes, and was a little helpless, Ryan...

Okay, I just want to ask, when is the earliest the movie can be released? Ryan interrupted him by raising his hand. Give me an exact time.

It will not be until 2001 at the earliest. Peter Jackson changed his tone of complaint, The schedule of actors is too tight, and your Marvel Studios also stole my Gandalf and Princess Arwen, and you, Ryan, can you stay on set a little longer?

Hey,

Hey. Hey Peter. Ryan pointed to Sir Ian McLean in the crowd. Our white wizard has returned.

After waiting for about an hour, Sean Bean finally came over. Fortunately, his makeup wasn't particularly troublesome, and he didn't have to wait too long for an audition. The crew entered the shooting state.

On the snow-capped ridge, the set up set was busy. Because it was with a few little hobbits, not only three-foot-tall stuntmen, but also forced perspective shooting techniques were used here.

Forced perspective photography. It was Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop, a set of shooting systems including tackles and platforms developed specifically for the Hobbit. That is, a normal person is placed in the foreground close to the camera and stepped on a higher platform, and the actor who plays the hobbit is on the ground in the background, which will create a corresponding visual illusion, and the actor will follow when the camera moves. Move to maintain a visual ratio of around seven to four.

This system is not perfect, especially when used in long shots, it will give people the feeling of being worn out. At this time, the dwarf actors specially hired by the crew need to wear the masks of Frodo and others.

In addition to the actors' roles, the crew also had to shoot a lot of snow scenes here. When Ryan and others finished work, Peter Jackson was still busy with people.

Sean, don't forget, you've already been killed once.

When the group walked towards the temporary dressing room, Elijah Wood muttered dissatisfiedly. Sean Bean was extremely active during the filming and knocked Elijah Wood into the snow several times.

Because you are all fallen, Iluvita had to send me back to save you. Iluvita in Sean Bing's mouth was the supreme god in the original book.

We have King Eliza! the other Hobbit actors protested in unison.

King Eliza has only Arwen in his eyes. Sean Bean drew out his prop sword, Gondor's sword is the weapon to protect you.

Wow, Ryan, you should protest. John Davis walked to Ryan's side and instigated loudly, Why don't Aragorn and Boromir have a duel, what do you think?

It's definitely a good idea.

I agree.

I'm in the banker, Ryan wins one-for-one, Sean wins two-for-one. Orlando Bloom instantly became a dealer, Who bets?

Sean, do you really want to duel with me? Ryan smiled maliciously, half of the saber around his waist was drawn.

Sean Bing looked at the steel sword reflecting the snow, then looked at the rubber sword in his hand, and said very simply, Does the ghost want to duel with you?

Hey, Sean, you can't do this. John Davis protested loudly. How can you admit defeat without fighting?

Okay, John, I'll give you the chance to duel.

Hearing Sean Bean's words and seeing other people's gloating expressions, John Davis simply closed his mouth.

Although nine of them are amateur-level fighters when it comes to fighting, there are also differences in the amateur level. John Davis and Sean Bean and others know that Ryan is in all the action shots that have been filmed. , did not use stunt doubles, and all played in person. Although the skills he showed were incomparable to the bodyguard who had been following him, he was much more flexible and vigorous than them.

The action scenes that Ryan wants to shoot are not only the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but also Gladiator, and if you want to gain full recognition from public opinion, it is a must to try not to use doubles.

When he rushed back to the crew station on the outskirts of Queenstown, it was already dark, and Ryan went to the prefab area that served as a restaurant to have dinner casually, and then returned to his trailer.

Although it is in the wild, but as a trailer for his room, the comfort level is no less than that of a luxury suite in a five-star hotel. In this regard, Ryan is deeply influenced by Nicole and will never treat himself badly.

Besides, you can only put all your energy into shooting if you have a good rest.

Of course, this is obviously impossible for Ryan. Maybe when he enters the set, he will only think of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but at other times, he has to deal with other things.

Making coffee for himself, Ryan opened his notebook and continued his unfinished Pirates of the Caribbean series.

After he wrote the outline and setting, he filed it with the Writers Guild, and at the same time let Jinsley publicize it. The creativity has been occupied in advance, and the script does not need to be so anxious.

In Ryan's vision, the trilogy can be filmed at the same time, which will save a lot of production costs and actors' remuneration, and he has performed a lot of operations on the script, especially the first and the latter two. In terms of props and actor's lines, David Jones and the endless world are mentioned from time to time.

Especially when Captain Barbossa finally fails, shouting to Jack Sparrow, Davy Jones will come back to you for that debt!

In short, it's all about eliciting the sequels that follow without being as blunt as the previous life.

As for whether there will be a fourth or fifth film later, as long as the movie can make money, why not shoot it?

However, after the news about Pirates of the Caribbean spread out, even with Ryan's past achievements, it is still not favored by most people in the industry.

The lessons of pirate movies are too painful for Hollywood.

Carlock Pictures, which was acquired by Jenkins Pictures, fell on the pirate-type theme Cutthroat Island.

At that time, Mario Casa was very ambitious and raised 100 million US dollars through financing to invest in the film, and later invested as much as 50 million US dollars in promotion and marketing expenses, and the cost of this 150 million US dollars was only In exchange for a box office of a little more than 10 million US dollars, it directly led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Pictures.

Originally, pirate films have always been a popular theme in Hollywood, and the failure of Cut Throat Island directly buried this theme. After Jenkins Pictures acquired Carlock Pictures, Mario Casar turned to executive and vowed to never again And don't touch work directly related to the movie.

Ryan shook his head, even five years later, the shadow of Cutthroat Island still hangs over Hollywood.

In fact, many people in the previous life have analyzed the reasons for the failure of Cutthroat Island. Ryan still remembers that some people said that the reason is very simple, because there is no Captain Jack Sparrow in the role of this film, and no Johnny Depp in the actors. .

Of course, these are all jokes.

After the film failed, many people in the industry have also done research, and Ryan is no exception. In addition to the female pirate king and the outrageous plot, Mario Casa gave director Renee Haring too much power. , is also a fatal factor.

You must know that there was no female pirate king in the original script. The director forcibly joined the role, and then hired Geena Davis to play the role. After the film failed, Geena Davis became Mr. Director's. wife.

Under the overt and understated rules that exist in Hollywood, that's telling.

The producer's restriction of the director's power can sometimes lead to the failure of the film, but more often, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

As for the director hired by Jenkins Pictures, Ryan often gives the other party the corresponding power, but the supervision measures that should be there are not less.

Near eleven o'clock in the evening, Ryan packed up his notebook and prepared to rest.

There will be a shooting mission tomorrow. They are like rabbits driven by wolves, flying around the island of New Zealand in helicopters, shooting those fragmented exterior shots.
