Although everything is going well, the battle of helm's valley still needs to be filmed for at least half a month. As the most important plot of the second film, it is different from the battle between the guard team and the strong orcs at the end of the first film. This is a real war. The troops of Rohan with less than 1000 troops should defend against the attack of nearly 10000 orcs. The cruelty of this battle can be imagined. For this reason, there are hundreds of extras on location every time they shoot. They have to make up, wear armor and take weapons. Moreover, a shot can not be completed at one time. Naturally, the efficiency is not much higher. What's more, this is Adrian's first time shooting war scenes.
"I knew I made Saving Private Ryan myself." Adrian couldn't help mumbling about the messy location.
Although he had tried to schedule the big scenes when he was making Shawshank's redemption, and he did a good job. He did not let the classic scene in prison square disappear, but the battlefield scene was another matter. Fortunately, these are also included in the forecast. He has enough time to adjust slowly, so There is no pressure to leave again at the end of the month. []
who made him a miracle director? There are always social occasions that he can't get rid of, and he doesn't intend to. Although Adrian has no pressure, several other deputy directors can't help but sigh. As long as he leaves, the burden of filming is all on them. If he doesn't do well, he will be reprimanded by Adrian. It's really depressing. However, Jackson is very excited. He is now the head of one of the groups. If Adrian leaves, his power will increase a lot, which will enable him to make the film according to his own mind.
Adrian has the final say, but he doesn't care much about it. Anyway, what the script is for Jackson's appetite is giving him more power to play. It's not a big deal.
The route to leave New Zealand this time is the opposite of the last one. First, I went to London, then I went to New York, where I did everything I had to do before returning to Los Angeles. In fact, he could have gone directly back to Los Angeles and then to New York. However, since the main business is in New York and the casting activities in London are in full swing, he should not have gone there.
The casting efficiency of the Harry Potter cast is the same as the shooting efficiency of the Lord of the rings, which is not high. During this period, the scope has only been reduced to a few hundred children. Except for Emma's Hermione, the other characters have not been considered formally. The only certainty is that the Weasley twins, as Adrian expected, are not the Phelps brothers from Birmingham, but the oddosi brothers of Liverpool.
The twins are absolutely red hair, but also very lively and mischievous, it is because they boldly played tricks with Columbus in the interview that they were attracted. To be sure, if Adrian doesn't intervene, I'm afraid none of the original actors will appear except Emma. The contingency and uncertainty of this kind of thing is too big.
As for Emma, after confirming that she is going to play Hermione, she has changed from her original interest to devotion.
"How did you solve this problem, professor?" Sometimes she makes up her own words in the mirror.
Although Adrian only stayed in London for two days, she made a special performance in front of him and wore Gryffindor's school uniform, which was not the original one. Adrian specially asked the crew to tailor it for her, which was very fit. In addition, Emma further possessed the temperament and characteristics of Hermione by waving the magic wand with props.
"You know, ED, after I told Ruth on the phone that she was going to play Hermione, she screamed there." Little Emma was also elated to tell the story between her and Emma.
Adrian was very happy that she could get involved, but she always felt that the little girl was planning something, especially when she looked at his funny smile. Of course, it should not be a bad thing, so he didn't pay much attention to it. There were more important things to deal with: get to New York, adjust the time difference, and attend the movie premiere.
At the end of May and the beginning of June in 1999, a super production was about to be released in the United States. This super production is not about the investment and the strength of the cast, but its name is well known in the United States and has a huge number of fans. It has affected at least one generation of time. It is the most beautiful memory in the hearts of many Americans and a representative of American culture one of.
Many film companies have delayed the schedule of their films because of it. AC media is no exception. You should know that both mummy and trap are excellent works. Some people even suggest moving to the Christmas stand, but there are also movies like Notting Hill and spider man. You can fight with yourself once or twice.
In a word, when the film was just being prepared, countless fans were already looking forward to it. Now that tickets are pre sold, long queues have been shot outside the major cinemas, especially in New York, where the premiere is located. Long crowds can almost line up from one end of Manhattan to the other! It's only George Lucas who directed the sequel trilogy of his space opera, Star Wars Prequel: The Phantom Menace!Although Kubrick's "2001 Space Odyssey" and Lucas's Star Wars series are almost ten years apart, they are the representative works of American science fiction films, and have set off different trends. It was after watching "2001 Space Odyssey" that Cameron began to think about making movies.
However, "2001 Space Odyssey" was too crude after all. Although the special effects were top-notch at that time, the Space Opera Star Wars series immediately won the love of most people, and then became a cultural phenomenon in the United States. Although Lucas has only a few films, and even though the film academy doesn't like him, he is still one of the greatest directors in the world.
This can be seen from the cheering fans gathered outside the Empire Theatre in Times Square after nightfall, wearing Darth Vader's helmets, toy lightsabers, or Jedi robes, venting their enthusiasm under the huge poster of the phantom menace, far more lively than dare Dead team.
"I know that many critics have criticized me for not being enterprising, and the concept of film is still in the 1970s and 1980s, but the special effects are more abundant, so what? I don't need to care. " Standing on the red carpet at the entrance of the theatre, Lucas said indifferently in the face of questioning by reporters.
As a commercial film, "the phantom threat" naturally has to arrange media meetings. Most film critics think that the pictures and special effects are very good, but the story is still at the level of the 1970s and 1980s.
"Yes, George Lucas doesn't need to care about that." A voice came from behind, and Lucas turned around and hugged the visitor with a smile.
"I thought you were going to come in a little while." Lucas said to Adrian, laughing.
"How can I do that? I have to share the enthusiasm of the fans. After all, I have worked hard, though I am very small." Adrian said, half truely.
A reporter nearby seized the opportunity to ask, "I heard that you were also involved in the writing of the phantom threat. Mr. Adrian, what do you think of the critics' comments?"
"I didn't participate too much, I just made some comments." Adrian made a correction, then flattered Lucas: "forget about that, gentlemen, tonight you just have to remember one name: Star Wars! God, I've been waiting for almost 15 years. Let me enjoy it once. "
People around laughed and Lucas laughed. I believe most of those who love the space opera series think so, but this does not stop reporters from asking questions.
"Do you think the Lord of the rings trilogy you're currently making can surpass the Star Wars trilogy?" One guy suddenly asked.
It's a pity that Adrian doesn't eat this: "there's no comparison between two completely different themes. Besides, you should know a lot about the Lord of the rings, so today we'd better focus on other aspects."
With the passage of time, the media of AC media began to selectively report the production of Lord of the rings. It is needless to say that the sources of the news also know that other media hate this, but they have no choice. Until now, they still don't know where Adrian is shooting this fantastic masterpiece.
However, the New Zealand studio will be revealed soon. It does not mean that journalists will never think of it. Therefore, it is the right way to disclose it in their own way and at an appropriate time before they find out. Maybe there will be more flies around, but at least he can make preparations.
After a few words with reporters, he pushed aside the questions about the Lord of the rings without showing any trace. When a huge cheer broke out on the red carpet, Master Yoda also came to the premiere. Although he was just a robot doll and his action was very rigid, he still poured oil on the enthusiasm of fans. Then Adrian and Lucas went into the theatre together.
Like all premieres, most of the guests are talking and laughing in the front hall, waiting for the time to queue up for admission. Adrian accompanied Lucas to greet several important actors, such as Liam Neeson, who played qui gon king, and Ivan McGregor, who played Obi Wan. Lucas chose them.
"By the way, why didn't the revered Queen Amidala come to the scene?" After chatting with them for a few words, Adrian suddenly asked in a jest.
"Her Majesty is going to take the exam. Her goal is ivy and she can't be distracted, so she didn't come." Lucas replied humorously, following his words.
In fact, Adrian had known for a long time that Natalie would not come to the premiere of the phantom menace. After all, he kept in touch with Natalie, which could not be known after Lucas. The first reason for asking this question now is to show that he can't care about the absence of one of the leading actors, and then I want to prove it.
Yes, check it out, Natalie said on the phone. Because graduation is imminent and her goal is Harvard, she has to concentrate on the SAT and AP exams and naturally can't attend the premiere. With her character of being unique no matter what she does, this decision is right. Although she will become one of the most popular actresses in the United States after the release of the phantom menace, it is very simple for her to enter Harvard, but she certainly does not want others to think that her admission to Harvard depends on this film rather than her own achievements, justAdrian always has a wrong feeling. In fact, this feeling has a long history, but it can be ignored before, but now it is beginning to be a little obvious. Especially during this period, although he was busy with the production of the Lord of the rings, he also took time to come to New York, but every time Natalie either had something to give up, or she was in a hurry to meet and leave.
"What a disgusting feeling..." Adrian tapped his head. "Maybe we should have a chance to talk to Natalie?"
In retrospect, this situation should have started after the Oscars. She is likely to become a little discontented, so it's time to talk about it openly. But it's certainly not now. Adrian still has a lot of things to do, and Natalie is still working on her studies. After the summer vacation, Harvard approved her application and lived in College for two months. The filming of Lord of the rings can be finished. Then it's not too late to sit down and talk.
Making up his mind, Adrian immediately turned his attention to other people. Queen Amidala is not here, but her double is. Kayla, who was dressed up with her parents, was not much ridiculed. Basically, she dealt with them properly, except for Adrian.
"And Yes, this is my first time To the premiere. " Keira kept twisting her head and did not dare to look at him. A faint blush appeared on her face, and her rolling eyes were shy and angry.
That's what she looked like on the plane - Adrian invited the Knightley family on her way to London - apparently hasn't adjusted after that day, not only was she touched by a stranger, but she was almost * *. Every time she thought about the situation at that time, Kyla would feel strange and speechless. Even if Adrian was not a stranger, but they were not very familiar with each other, how could she have been so stupid at that time?!
So Adrian didn't irritate her too much. Besides, her parents were nearby. After a few words, she left. Of course, the disappointment in Kyla's eyes was still in his eyes.
The next step is the time of the movie. There is nothing to say. Compared with the version in memory, although the camera switching in many places has changed, it is still the same on the whole. As for Queen Amidala's dress inspired by Japanese Geisha, Adrian directly chose to ignore it.
However, there are still some differences behind. After Anakin took part in the race car, the slave owners wanted to repent, so they gathered many people to use Qianqiang, but qui gon and Obi Wan jointly beat him back. However, Anakin's mother was killed. Young Skywalker wept with her mother's body in her arms, while Amidala, disguised as a maid of honor, quietly comforted her.
At this time, the Sith apprentice also ran after him. After a scuffle, Anakin was taken to Amidala's spaceship, but he failed to recover his mother's body. Finally, he cried bitterly in Amidala's arms until he fainted.
Lucas accepted his suggestion completely. He also set the stage for Anakin and Amidala to love each other. I believe that after the second film comes out, their feelings will not be so abrupt. In addition, Anakin's brother's life experience was modified to prevent Luke from becoming an uncle when he was adopted.
The later plot returns to the original version. The protagonists return to Naboo to raid the trade union. After Amidala comes forward to unite with the local natives, the trade union is finally driven out. Qui gon is still killed, and Obi Wan takes Anakin as his apprentice. To be honest, if Natalie didn't wear that bizarre dress, she would be pretty pretty pretty. She could still see the shadow of Matilda at the beginning, but she was not around at the moment.
Of course, it would be even more wonderful if we could enjoy her and work on her tiny body Well, it's a hangover from playing role playing in New Zealand.
Although there is no doubt that star wars is popular, and many Star Wars fans are the first to support it, it may be due to the media's remarks that "the target audience of this film should be 10-year-old children and long-term Star Wars fans", "Lucas pushed Star Wars movies to the edge. In this view, Future Star Wars movies should be computer games", Although the "ghost" was released in the second day, it only increased the box office by more than 30 million in the second day.
However, everyone knows that this is just the beginning. Star Wars fans are more than that. Besides, not all the media have no good words. It's only a matter of time before North America breaks 100 million yuan. It's very possible to get 1 billion yuan worldwide.
But it has nothing to do with Adrian. After attending the premiere of star wars, the female secretary who came from Los Angeles declined a series of invitation, and then took her to a luxury private yacht on the Hudson River to attend a low-key wedding ceremony held by a media tycoon. Yes, Murdoch and Wendi Deng got married.
Although some things have changed because of him, some things will not change, especially those with brains and skills. They always take the initiative to attack, so Deng Wendi still meets Murdoch.
In the past year, Murdoch's divorce from his second wife has also been a hot topic. Although News Corp's media have tried to exercise restraint, the sun has made a mockery of it, claiming that even its own boss should report it, insiders know that they are just hiding their ears.www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
