Chapter 635

Warner Movie World is located in the north of Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, only dozens of miles from Brisbane. This world-famous theme movie park, like Universal Studios, is divided into two parts, that is, the tourist area. and studios. If you like to play and watch, come to Lewen. lw0.

Taking into account the location and the more generous incentives of the Queensland government, The Hunger Games chose the main filming area here.

A few months ago, the preparatory work such as set construction and other preparatory work began in Warner Studios. After Katherine Kennedy and Sofia Coppola and Tiger Chen, who was in charge of the action scenes, came here, the preparatory work was greatly accelerated. They also recruited a large number of extras from Australia for scenes such as the tribute exhibition.

With the exception of actors like Natalie who had been set up by Tiger Chen for a separate training plan, other actors who were going to be involved in the Hunger Games killings came to Brisbane more than a month ago for training.

At first, Ryan put forward a suggestion. In terms of actor selection, the acting skills can be slightly worse, but there must be the vitality and youthful atmosphere of young people, as well as a few key supporting roles. Nice few people.

Such as Stanley? Tucci, Donald? Sutherland and so on.

After all, apart from Ryan himself, the most famous actors are Natalie and Scarlett Johansson. In addition, there is James Franco, the great supporting role in Spider-Man, who will play Gale , and another tribute to the 12th District, Pita, the crew chose a newcomer who is about the same height as Natalie, but looks like a standard little white face.

Meet this guy named John Morick. Ryan also recalled, and there was no impression in his memory, so he was probably lucky.

Although there was a period of individual training, but came to Australia, including Ryan. All received brief intensive routine exercises.

These are beautiful and straightforward ways of fighting.

The built training ground is full of futuristic style, with actors scattered on black mats in twos and threes. According to the guidance of the action group, they practiced their different routines.

Are you ready. Nat?

Standing at the end of the rectangular black mat, Ryan looked across from him, and Natalie, who was twenty feet away, was wearing a tracksuit and gave him a thumbs up.

Pay attention to the essentials of action! Tiger Chen shouted after a loud reminder, Start!

The voice just fell. Natalie rushed forward at the fastest speed,

When he reached the middle of the mat, he rolled over on the spot, dodging an attack that didn't actually exist. Taking advantage of the situation, he grabbed the recurve bow on the mat, and with the other hand drew a long arrow from the quiver behind him, got up and knelt down on one knee. Turning back and bending the bow, the black arrows flew towards the open space behind.

Just as she fired the arrow, Ryan rushed towards her according to the preset setting.

Natalie turned around, Ryan was already in front of her, and the longbow was useless. She immediately threw away the longbow and used her legs to meet Ryan like a vigorous female leopard.

She dodged those fists that looked fast but were actually weak, grabbed Ryan's arms, and used a standard back throw with the strength of his forward thrust.

In line with Natalie's movements, Ryan pushed his feet hard on the ground, his body immediately rose into the air, and Natalie's waist 'threw' on the black mat.

Perfect!

Tiger Chen, who was standing beside the mat, clapped his palm vigorously.

Wow, Nat defeated Ryan, the big devil!

Next to Tiger Chen, Taylor's cheers rang out again, followed by Scarlett Johansson's bewitching voice, Nate, shoot him with a bow! Hurry up and shoot him with a bow!

These two guys who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos!

Lying on the mat, Ryan rolled his eyes helplessly, and Natalie's hand fell in front of him, Waiting for me to pull you up?

Grabbing Natalie's hand, Ryan followed the strength of her pulling, stood up, and said to the two girls who were joking, Don't you guys need to practice?

My character is good at using flying knives. Scarlett Johansson pointed to Tiger Chen and said, Tiger said that my movements are very standardized, and the effects of flying knives are all done in post-production.

My character is good at hiding and escaping. Taylor proudly looked at his long legs, Running is not difficult for me.

After coming here, an actress temporarily withdrew from the crew due to family reasons, and several friends starred in the film. Taylor was also very excited. After participating in an audition, she got this role with almost no sense of existence.

She came here mainly to shoot an mv in conjunction with the footage of the film.

That's right, she'll sing the movie's theme song.

Picking up the longbow on the ground, Ryan drew a long arrow from the quiver behind Natalie, buckled it on the string, walked to the front of a target with a few strides, took aim slightly, and pulled it away. bowstring.

The prop bow looks like that, but in fact it's soft and not strong enough, Ryan just pulled it into the shape of a full moon with just a little force.

After a 'whoosh' sound, the arrow without an edge hit the edge of the target and bounced to the ground.

Shaking his head, Ryan returned the bow to Natalie, who was following him, and picked up the rubber chrome-plated prop sword from the shelf next to him, This weapon is still the most suitable for me.

After he finished speaking, he also gave an almost standard knight holding sword salute.

Are you going to duel with me? Natalie tilted her head to look here, and poked him lightly with her longbow, My knight?

I just want to protect you, my princess!

Shrugging, Ryan put the sword back on the shelf, Okay, let's go and rest for a while.

Although the main actors are still in the final intensive training, the filming of the crew began a few days ago. Sofia Coppola's assistant took a camera team to the farm first to shoot some landscape shots, and she herself They are filming scenes with a large number of extras.

Every day that these extras are hired represents an expense. Although the crew's initial budget is as high as 100 million US dollars, a veteran producer like Katherine Kennedy, naturally knows how to operate to save costs.

Like the Fox Studios in the suburbs of Sydney, a large industrial belt has also been formed around the Warner Movie World production area.

What about Scarlett and Alison?

After entering the lounge, Natalie found that the other two girls were missing, sat on a chair, took the hot coffee that Ryan poured out of the thermos, and asked, These two guys are together, always. There will be some inexplicable situation.”

Don't worry. Ryan poured another glass and sat next to Natalie. They all have bodyguards.

Hmm~

Natalie nodded, chatted a little with Ryan, took her bag, took out a book from it, and flipped through it.

Ryan took a call, George Clooney called, and all post-production on Argo was complete, just waiting for the full publicity to hit theaters.

The release time of this film in North America is in October. The film is inherently flawed in terms of subject matter and genre, and it is impossible to compete with those super-productions in the Thanksgiving Christmas season, which seems to be shorter than Argonauts. Momentum of the film is even stronger, that is, Alexander the Great.

Perhaps the box office of Troy was too far from what was expected, or perhaps several historical epics this year suffered heavy losses. Warner Bros. moved this film out of the Christmas season and placed it in a place with little competition for big productions. In October, the schedule is two weeks earlier than Argonaut.

In a way, Warners clearly lacked confidence in the film.

After listening to George Clooney say a few things about publicity, Ryan hung up the phone, and these work will naturally be handled by the relevant departments of Disney.

He turned his head and saw that Natalie was concentrating on reading, and he couldn't help asking curiously, Dear, what are you reading?

I bought it from the airport when I came. Natalie turned over the cover and gave Ryan a look. A memoir of a rock climber.

A life-or-death dilemma? Ryan muttered, Why such a strange title?

The man who wrote the book was Alan Ruston, and he's now a national celebrity.

Seeing Ryan was a little curious, Natalie simply introduced the general content, In May last year, Ellen Ruston was trapped when his right arm was crushed by a rock while climbing in Blue John Canyon, Utah. 5 days and 5 nights, in order to escape...

I seem to have seen it somewhere. Ryan couldn't help frowning, but I can't remember.

A lot of media reported about this last year. Natalie bookmarked and closed the book, Do you still want to listen?

Of course. Ryan made a continuing gesture to her.

Natalie probably guessed that Ryan might have the same idea as herself, and continued, Ellen Ruston endured the severe pain and spent more than an hour breaking the radius and ulna of his upper arm. He used his exercise rope as a temporary tourniquet, and then cut off his right forearm from the elbow with a knife.

Speaking of which, Natalie let out a soft sigh and seemed to sigh the protagonist of the memoir, After he escaped from under the rock, in order to compete for time with blood loss, he climbed through the narrow and strong wind canyon with amazing perseverance, and the edge rope went down to A sixty-foot-deep valley floor, another five-mile walk, encounter with rescuers, and surviving.

And then wrote this memoir? Ryan answered, pinching his chin, Nate, don't you think this is a good subject?

You mean to adapt the movie? Natalie guessed what he was thinking just now, Actually, I thought so too. I originally planned to ask Pat to contact Alan Ruston to buy the adaptation rights.

Leave this to me. Ryan took out his cell phone and dialed Julie Stewart. (To be continued. (lw0.)) ()
