Chapter 860： Power of Light

"Cut! This one is over..."

Natalie’s voice came from behind the monitor. Ryan stopped and threw the power of Menethil in his hand to the prop master who came over. Wearing a metallic armor and wearing a golden wig, Ryan stopped. I passed the huge imax3d camera and walked to Natalie's side.

Looking at the replayed footage, Ryan lifted his chin, "My fighting moves are still very standard, and the special training in the past few months is still effective."

Those brown eyes turned here, and returned to the monitor. Natalie, who was in the state of director, didn't bother to pay attention to Ryan, but watched the footage that was just filmed carefully.

This is a battle between Prince Arthas and the Orc Swordmaster in order to rescue his people. The green-skinned orc used motion capture to shoot. Under the pre-built model, the Ryan did not remember his name at all. The actor of, the interpretation is not bad, even if it can't compare with the expert Andy Serkins in this field, it is enough to deal with such a scene.

Since there was no editing and other post-processing, this fight seemed very false, but after watching it patiently a few times, Natalie finally nodded in satisfaction.

"well done……"

After she entered the working state, she was very like the best director of the Oscar, "Keep it in the current state."

"no problem."

Regardless, Ryan will maintain the authority of the director on the set, "My Director Madam."

Natalie nodded to this side, and then called in an assistant, "Notify the crew, change the scene."

Wearing that awkward latex armor, Ryan walked out of the studio, put on makeup again, and turned to a smaller studio next to him. The crew was under the command of Natalie. In front of the blue screen, lights, cameras and other equipment were placed in an orderly manner.

Like other magical epic masterpieces, this film will use a large number of synthetic shots, and shooting in front of the blue screen is also normal.

"Ryan!"

The crew stopped working for a while, Ryan heard Natalie's shout, he shrugged at Gal Gado, who came in afterwards, and walked over.

"This is a very critical scene."

Sitting behind the monitor, Natalie held a coffee cup and said, "As the heir of the entire kingdom and the hope of all the people, Arthas has always wanted to have the power to protect the kingdom and the people. He himself craves for this power. When he discovered that he possessed the power and the power of the holy light could not fully protect his people and country, his psychology naturally changed. This is also the beginning of the righteous prince gradually moving towards the abyss because of his thirst for power... "

After speaking, Natalie stood up again, pulled Ryan to the blue screen in front of the camera, and instructed each one to take precautions.

Although this script was written by hand. Ryan didn't mean anything. The script is not the same as the movie. The filming is a process led by the director. It has been a few weeks since he came to Australia. He also learned a lot of Natalie's ideas, which are beneficial and harmless to the film.

"Scene 47, Act 21..."

When everything was ready, the assistant director's voice sounded. "Start now!"

This is the beginning of Alsace Menethil's psychological transformation!

After paying the tragic price of casualties, Arthas's army finally defeated the violent green-skinned orcs, and he himself beheaded the orc sword master himself. But this issue was too late. When he found the kingdom's people kidnapped by the orcs, they were dying.

These people who love him and support him, he once vowed to protect, are obviously under some kind of evil curse. They are lying flat on the dirty ground polluted by the orcs, their faces are twisted in pain, and black blood clots are flowing from their mouths and noses. ...

Arthas, played by Ryan, threw away the warhammer in his hand, strode over, knelt on one knee in front of a person, and gently covered his gray-black face with his palm.

"May the Holy Light be with you..."

He murmured, as if he was mobilizing some mysterious power, "Endless holy light, please give me strength to dispel the darkness and evil that the earth contaminates!"

However, the invincible power of the Holy Light did not play any role, and under Alsace's gaze, the person he swore to protect took his last breath.

In the loud sound of "bang", Alsace's fist was hammered heavily on the ground, and the young prince's face was full of anxiety, and he did not give up. He quickly stood up and walked back and forth among the cursed crowd, almost Exhausted the power of his holy light, but could not save the life of any one of them, even a few of the young children.

One person after another died in front of him. Although they couldn't speak before they died, they all looked at Arthas with hope, as if they hoped that their beloved Prince could save their lives.

This vision pierced Alsace's heart like a knife. This young and upright prince has been smooth sailing since he was born. He has collected thousands of favorites and vowed to protect and support his people with his life. The people who vowed to protect them are now in front of his eyes, dying one by one in an extremely painful way, like a big hand, holding the fragile and sensitive heart of Arthas.

His body was trembling slightly, and his handsome young face was filled with regret, pain and anger like a little lion who was provoked but unable to fight back!

If he pursued faster, none of this might happen!

If he can easily solve the enemy sniping on the road, all this may not happen!

If his battle with the Orc Sword Saint hadn't been delayed for such a long time, none of this might have happened!

If his power of holy light can be as omnipotent as Uther said, all this may not happen!

If he had more power than the Lightbringer and King of the Hill, none of this might happen!

"Do not!"

Regret, pain, and anger filled Alsace's heart. He knelt on his knees and yelled, "No..."

The young prince finally felt his own responsibility at this moment. It was a heavy responsibility that had never been felt before. It was like the Black Rock Mountain, weighing heavily on his shoulders.

The prince, like a flower in a greenhouse, felt a deep sense of frustration. He never thought that there are still things in this world that he can't do, and there are threats that the power of the Holy Light cannot solve, and he even believes in him. The holy light was shaken.

Thinking of what the Orc Sword Saint said before his death, Arthas understood that this matter was not so simple, and that there was still a murderer who had not appeared behind him.

"I don't care who you are, how powerful and evil you have!"

Grabbing a handful of soil soaked in blood, the young prince’s upright eyes flashed with sternness, "I will find you and kill you, I swear! I call Arthas Menet Swear by Hill’s honor!"

Slowly walking past the dead folks, Arthas closed his eyelids for them one by one. The prince's heart was filled with anger and the fire of vengeance. On the handsome face of the past sunshine, there was a trace of imperceptible evilness!

Also, maybe he didn't even realize that he had been thirsty for power since he was a child, and now he has the pursuit of more powerful power.

These are just seeds. If there is no suitable soil, Arthas will still be the prince deeply beloved by the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

"Cut!"

Natalie's voice suddenly sounded. She left the director's chair and walked directly to Ryan. She walked among the humanoid props that were wrapped in blue screens as materials for the corpse. After stomping back and forth a few steps, she said. "Ryan, you should be more angry now. Your performance just now was too harsh, pay attention! Pay attention to the critical line of anger."

The makeup artist next to Ryan was applying makeup, and Ryan took the time to say, "I understand."

"That's good." Natalie nodded and walked in the direction where she came. "Let's do it again."

Although it is somewhat difficult compared to Captain America, a character like Alsace Menethil can’t help Ryan at all. What he needs the most balance is Arthas’s mental journey that continues to slide into the abyss, which is a constant change. As well as the process that requires time and external factors to stimulate, if it is too hasty, it will only become a turning point.

That was not the result he wanted.

Again, this is not the result Natalie wanted.

This is the first time that Natalie has directed a super giant with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It is impossible without pressure. She strives for perfection in every shot. Even if Ryan performed well for the second time in this scene, she still compelled. The crew was asked to shoot a few more times in order to collect more material for post-production editing.

At the end of the day of shooting, Ryan was finally able to change out of that awkward armor.

"are you tired?"

As soon as he finished removing his makeup, Natalie knocked on the door and walked into the dressing room, and put a cup of coffee in her hand on the table in front of him, "You have a lot of shots these days, it will be fine in a few days."

"Who let me join the crew at the latest?" Ryan laughed at himself, picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip. "Nate, are you sure this didn't revenge me on purpose?"

"I'm not as boring as you."

Natalie put her arms around her chest and sat on the chair next to her, "In order to save the budget, I can only arrange the scenes you left behind more compactly."

"Okay, dear."

Ryan stood up first, then pulled Natalie out of the chair, and walked her out, "After a day of tiredness, we should go back to rest."

The studio rented by the crew is located in the Warner Movie World on the Gold Coast of Australia. Ryan and others' residences were not arranged in Brisbane this time, but a whole tourist hotel was rented nearby.

First, they took the battery car to the parking area of ​​the studio. After changing to the RV, the two of them ignored the reporter who was stuck at the entrance of the studio and returned directly to the hotel.

The crew is the only guest in the hotel. After entering the hotel, he can no longer feel the hustle and bustle outside. Ryan just wanted to drag Natalie to the elevator. From the rest place on the other side, suddenly a familiar crisp child came. sound.

"Dad..." (To be continued...)
