Australia in February came to the end of the summer. The Fox studios in the suburbs of Sydney flooded with hundreds of staff, and the extra actors in and out made this Hollywood's overseas filming center, once again bustling. Scenes.
The largest studios of the studio all fell into the hands of Lucasfilm. They were either arranged as a blue screen surrounded by a scene, or set and modeled as a starship's inner warehouse.
"Cut!"
In the blue-screened studio, George Lucas called to stop. He got up from the director's chair and walked a few steps to the platform where the model spacecraft was placed. "Ryan, your emotions are not in place. , And... Now Anakin has completely turned to the darkness, with a different look, okay?"
Ivan McGregor turned his head and laughed. Natalie rolled her eyes at the bearded director. Ryan took off the sweat-soaked black leather gloves and said, "Okay, no problem."
In the last shot, he was still in love with Padmé Amidala.
George Lucas walked back, and Natalie, who had a big belly, leaned in and said in a low voice, "Is it difficult? Just letting out the nature in my heart is enough."
"Nature?" Ryan almost tilted his nose without getting angry.
"Don't think I can't see the other side of you."
Seeing the assistant director approaching, Natalie murmured and returned to her position.
"The thirteenth scene, the twenty-second scene, now begins!"
After the assistant director's voice passed, the crew resumed normal operations again.
"I can not believe it…"
Natalie backed away again and again, her face was full of sadness and inconceivability, "Obi-Wan is right, you have changed."
"I don't want to hear about Obi-Wan anymore." Ryan's head deflected slightly, and his eyes became sharp in an instant. There was also an obvious negative sentiment in it, "The Jedi Knight has betrayed me, but you...can't betray me!"
"I...you are not the Anakin I know." Natalie's voice was crying, and her thick eyebrows collapsed. "You broke my heart. I can't keep up with you the way..."
"Because of Obi-Wan?" Sharp and hateful eyes jumped over Natalie, and landed on Iwan McGregor, who was also dressed as a Jedi.
"Because of what you did. Because of your plan!" She tried to make the last effort, "Stop it, Anakin, it's still too late to look back now. I love you!"
"con man!"
A stern look swept across Natalie, "You brought him to kill me?"
"Do not…"
The hand with black leather gloves stretched out towards Natalie, and the Long Island girl covered her neck in cooperation...
As long as the state is adjusted, such movies and characters are not difficult for Ryan, Natalie and Iwan McGregor. The remaining few shots of this scene are even ng. It will not exceed single digits.
Besides, George Lucas’s ability to design lines is just like being criticized by the media, which is really unflattering.
In contrast. The battle between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan was slightly more difficult.
However, as long as it is not a frontal shot, George Lucas has all been replaced by stunt doubles, and Ryan and Ryan are more likely to perform some fancy and beautiful moves.
As for the volcanoes and lava, it is necessary to rely on the special effects technology to join them in the later stage.
As early as 2002, George Lucas led the filming team who had ventured to Italy to take shots of a volcano erupting in Sicily.
Regarding lava, Ryan also knew a little bit. The special effects team produced a 30-foot-long and four-foot-wide miniature model of Lava River, and successfully used milkshake and paint to produce enough fake and real magma.
In the words of George Lucas, ‘this is the battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin. The dangerous environment and the magnificent voice acting are the most suitable for this atmosphere. ’
Of course, this kind of remark is for Natalie. Although he is recognized as the worst of the four major directors, he is much better than Natalie's rookie. When shooting, just ask the Long Island girl. He basically gives some enlightening answers.
Changed to the Jedi costume that was awkward to walk, Ryan simply took care of the messy curly hair, walked to the opposite and knocked on Natalie's dressing room. The Long Island girl also removed the maternity dress and long hair. Wig, is sitting in front of the mirror removing makeup.
When her assistant saw Ryan, he immediately went out and closed the door.
Ryan sat on the chair next to Natalie, watching her remove her makeup, Padmé Amidala changed back to Natalie Portman.
"The dark side of your heart is completely released?" Natalie glanced sideways, and said in a teasing tone, "The feeling you gave me when I was shooting just now is like a devil from hell."
"My dear, it's unfair to say that." Ryan spread his hands and defended. "That's Anakin Skywalker. It's a character in the movie. It has nothing to do with me."
Natalie turned around, tilted her head and looked here, Ryan couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch her nose.
"If it's for you, I would rather fall into the darkness." He said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
"The dark side of your heart is heavy enough." Natalie turned back, of course she knew that Ryan said ‘’ is plural.
After leaving the set, Ryan drove Natalie back to downtown Sydney. The two of them had been to the city too many times and had no interest in visiting, and went straight back to the hotel where the crew stayed.
"Go back to the room, or go to the restaurant?"
After leaving the underground parking lot and entering the elevator, Ryan asked Natalie.
"Go back to the room and order a meal." Natalie pressed the button on the top floor.
Several bodyguards entered the elevator together. The alarm of terrorism was far from lifted. Ryan entered and exited the premises, not only had his own bodyguards, but also a small group of agents who were always following the periphery.
Not to mention the responsibilities and rights of those messy taxpayers, if he is really in danger, even if he is not injured, the Washington authorities will probably be under tremendous pressure.
The current Bush administration is planning a new war in Iraq and cannot afford any surprises at this time.
As in previous lives, the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction incident broke out in the Middle East, and the federal government is sharpening its sword and is ready to take action at any time.
Although the anti-war voice in the United States is very loud, the mainstream class is happy to see it happen. When Ryan met reporters some time ago, he was also asked about this question. He knew that with his own identity and status, he was not suitable to say If he objected, he just murmured a few words and dismissed the other party.
Although many Hollywood stars—such as Angelina Jolie, etc.—continue to speak out against the media against the war, Ryan has selectively thrown the matter aside.
As for whether the Iraqi people will suffer? What does it matter to him? They are neither compatriots in the previous life, nor friends in this life.
Ryan doesn't have great universal feelings, and he goes to rescue a group of people who have no real relationship or interest.
How much practical benefit he can obtain by taking this opportunity is what he considers the most.
Even when sitting in the living room of the suite after eating, Ryan is still considering these issues. I have to say that people's thoughts always change with the change of status and status.
"What are you thinking?"
Natalie, who was sitting next to her and reading the newspaper, suddenly asked curiously, "When you are in the elevator, you are thinking."
"Nothing." Ryan smiled and took her shoulders.
"Considering how to hold another Oscar queen?" Natalie squinted at him, the newspaper in her hand was the entertainment version.
Ryan leaned over and glanced, "Oscar nominated?"
"Yes." Natalie glanced at the date of the newspaper. "This is today's newspaper. Didn't you get the news?"
"I have been busy filming all day, where can I pay attention."
Putting a hand in front of Natalie, Ryan stretched out two fingers, "Give me the newspaper or... read it to me."
"Then sit down and don't make trouble." Natalie's eyes fell on Ryan's other hand, and she said after that hand slipped from her chest to her waist. "Chicago received the most nominations. , Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, a total of 13 nominations."
"Then there is "Lord of the Rings: Two Towers", with seven nominations including best editing, best director, best film, best art direction, and best visual effects."
"And "Gangs of New York", your friend Leonardo DiCaprio won the best actor nomination... well, Sofia's cousin Nicholas..."
"Nat!" Ryan looked at her, Natalie curled her lips, and finally turned to the topic, "The Moment has nine nominations, and U U Reading includes the best actress."
"That's good." Ryan nodded, and gently kissed the girl's white forehead, "Thank you for your time to read the newspaper, Nat."
"Perhaps because of my newspaper reading time, someone will lose the best actress." Natalie put down the newspaper, stood up and walked towards the bedroom, "I will shoot tomorrow, I'm going to rest."
The filming of the movie is still going on. George Lucas is like Steven Spielberg, a famous fast shooter in the Hollywood director industry. By March, the progress of "Revenge of the Sith" exceeded one-third. , Most of the difficult fighting scenes are completed.
In a hurry, unless necessary, most fighting scenes are performed by Ryan and Ivan McGregor's stunt doubles.
This work of the end of reincarnation that Lucas said is so attractive, not only the media has paid attention, but also the people on the set are also in an endless stream.
In a month, Francis Coppola, Robert De Niro, Ilya Wood, Dean Devlin and Liam Neeson came to visit the class one after another, and several of them made cameo appearances in the film for free. The background painting. ()
