Best Actor

"Every department prepares, every department prepares!" With the voice of the director's assistant, all the people in the resting crowd, all wearing armor, stood at the designated position.

The voice of "Action!" reverberated through the loudspeaker.

After a few seconds, the actors who were standing on the huge wall that had been taken care of and were covered by curtains began to "fight" with their weapon models. He whimpered to increase the atmosphere. It doesn't matter. As I said before, Jackson deliberately rented the stadium in Wellington and hired tens of thousands of fans to record the sound effects of Helm's Deep with collective shouting, so there was no recording equipment at all, even if his voice was hoarse. It doesn't matter.

When the boom used for filming drew a semicircle in the air, the sound of "Cut" came from the loudspeaker, and the actors immediately stopped and started to sit or rest against the wall, but only ten For a few seconds, they seemed tired.

It's not surprising, there have been more than a dozen shots like this, the camera on the boom goes from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top, and even right slanted Up to left diagonally down, or left diagonally up to right diagonally down, there is no angle that has not been tried. There was even two waves in the air once, and the boom swayed irregularly a few times, scaring the photographer who was taking the shot on it.

In such a shooting, even if it is only a few tens of seconds at a time, it is tiring enough to accumulate, not to mention that the actors are still wearing armor. And this kind of shooting is already a regular thing in this episode of Helm's Deep. It is often the case. Only one scene is shot for several days in a row, and it is constantly shot from different angles. It is no wonder that one has been shot before. month, but progress was only one-third of the plan.

"What do you think?" Taking advantage of the actors' rest time, Jackson, who repeatedly watched these several shootings on the monitor, asked the assistant director and a group of assistants.

"Enough is enough, we just need to pick out the right cuts," said an assistant.

"Maybe we can also consider moving from behind the wall to the front path." Another assistant expressed a different opinion.

"I think this filming can be passed. I have been shooting repeatedly for two days, and all circumstances have been taken into account." This one agrees with the first opinion.

After a lot of discussion, the majority of those who agree with it are OK. No matter from the progress or the shooting effect, it is OK. But Jackson didn't speak, looked at the screen for another moment, then walked back and forth in the tent twice, then looked up: "I need a long shot."

Soon, the photographer was called, and Jackson, standing in front of the simple model, explained to him: "I need to go from here to here, and then move from here to here, and finally stretch to Panorama, what do you think?"

"Don't let me go." The photographer shouted immediately.

"I took the shot myself this time," Jackson waved his hand, "I'm just asking for your opinion, this is the last shot, and it has to achieve the best results."

The photographer was relieved, he was already tired, and the previous problem with the boom - albeit only a small problem - left him somewhat in the shadow.

Soon, the two people who had fully exchanged opinions determined the desired color, light perception, distance, brightness and other effects.

"Let the gaffer adjust the light contrast of the scene to be stronger, the light source is cut in from the left and right sides, and the focal length of the lens is balan... Well, the fifth number." He then instructed the assistant, and then The costumer also rushed over: "Mr. Jackson, they have changed the costumes again."

"I see." The New Zealand fat man nodded and said a few words to his assistant. Then he got out of the tent, followed the path to the bottom of the city wall, and jumped up a few steps. Your body is inversely proportional.

"How is it, Viggo, John, Orlando, Sean, can you continue?" He called out the names of several leading actors one by one.

"I'm fine." Sean took the lead, even though there was obvious exhaustion on his face.

"I'm fine." And Mortensen, taking a deep breath.

"Me too." Followed by Bloom, doing a few movements to stretch his body.

Then, they looked at Davis together, he is the hardest of all, not to mention the trouble of makeup, and sometimes kneeling to perform, which is quite troublesome. However, because he has a dwarf stand-in, he consumes relatively less energy than the three of them, so in this case, as long as he should be able to persist, he can continue.

"No problem, let's continue." Davis waved his hand generously.

"Thank you, John." Jackson nodded in relief, then took the loudspeaker from the assistant: "Attention to all departments, the last shooting today is 1 minute, Please hurry up and prepare."

A few minutes later, as "Action" sounded again, dozens of extras fought again in a decent manner, the boom quickly rotated along the designated trajectory, and Jackson at the front was firmly in control The camera took these pictures one by one.

It seems like a century has passed, and the long 1 minute has finally come to an end. When the director on the boom signaled the assistant to stop, a crackling sound immediately sounded, and most of the weapons in the hands They all fell to the ground, and then they all found a place to lean on. I don't know if it's too tired or what's going on. An extra dressed as an orc leaned back without observing. Unexpectedly, the edge of the wall behind him was a lot shorter than the surrounding area. Unprepared, he turned his head over.

"Wow!" A terrified cry rang out, and everyone around was stunned and did not respond. Only one person rushed over and stretched out his hands to grab it. He rolled over the drape over his shoulders.

"Help! Help!" The man below screamed and struggled because of fear, so that the not very strong shawl began to crack.

"Damn... Calm down! Give me your hand!" shouted the one above, wearing a blond wig and a elf outfit, officially playing Sean of Haldir.

However, his body is a little fatter, so he obviously needs to get a little heavier. In order to grab him, Sean had a little protruding forward, and his lower abdomen was pressed against the edge of the wall. The feeling of slipping.

"How are you, are you all right?" After the assistants sent the extra and Sean down, Jackson finally came over.

The extra didn't say anything, and was supported and nodded, obviously frightened.

"Fortunately, the arm is a little loose." Although Sean's face was a little pale, it was still within the normal range, just covering his lower abdomen with his hands.

Injuries, sprained feet, dislocations, etc. are all small things. There are many people who are black and blue because of tripping, and some people even roll down the steps.

.

"Nice job, Sean."

"You are brave."

"If it wasn't you, the problem would be bigger."

When removing makeup, a group of people praised him so much, not only Mortensen and the others, Davis and Bloom were among them, and it was obvious that they were sincere, well, Hopefully they can keep it up.

"How do you feel, hero?" Sanders also took the time to say this.

"Very good, but my stomach hurts." Sean replied angrily.

There are probably a few small stones along the wall, which made the lower abdomen feel uncomfortable. But this little problem doesn't matter, after all, he saved a person, although he had no idea at the time, he just rushed out by instinct.

"Really? It's too thrilling. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to react." After the makeup was removed, a crisp female voice drifted into my ears.

Looking at the sound, a tall young girl was talking and laughing with Bloom and Mortensen near a tent.

"Look, he's out," seeing Sean Bloom beckoned at this time, "Come here, Sean."

"Don't say anything, let me guess, this must be the most beautiful flower in the entire crew, and also Miss Liv Tyler who plays the most beautiful evening star of the elves in the novel." Xiao. Eun looked at the girl and said with a smile.

"Thank you," the other party's face turned slightly red, looking a little shy, "You can really talk, Mr. Tang."

"Sean," Sean's smile was more gentle, "I'm just telling the truth."

"Sean is different from us, he is the best actor nominee for the third year in Oscar history." Bloom interjected next to it.

This guy just praised you. Sean couldn't help rolling his eyes inwardly, and then glanced at him realizing something. Could it be that this guy is pursuing her?

Well, Liv Tyler is indeed a beautiful girl, especially her gray-blue eyes, which are very attractive. Sean has seen the stills of her playing the elf princess Arwen, and it does give people an amazing feeling, but... the face looks a little long, and it will feel a little strange after watching it for a long time.

Then you can pursue it, I won't... wait! Sean suddenly thought of something and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he quickly found the figure of Cate Blanchett who came with Liv, talking to Jackson in the distance.

Although the New Zealand fat man is currently busy filming the Battle of Helm's Deep, he has not put down other plots. The clips of the film were all led by several assistant directors with actors or filmed outside or indoors, so Wood, Austin, Kate, Liv and others stayed here.

So, Sean thought of an opportunity.
