Chapter 378 Ryan and Aragorn
"This is a gift, this is the best weapon against Mordor!"
As soon as Gandalf finished speaking, Sean Bin, who played Polomil, stood up and walked to the stone table where the Supreme Lord's Ring was placed, "Why not use this ring? My father, the Regent of Gondor, and the army of anti-Mordo were outside the bay. It was the bloody battle of the people of Gondor that you were able to save the weapons against the enemy to Gondor, and let us use it to fight against the enemy."
"You can't control it, none of us can."
Long black hair drooped to his shoulders, and under his thick beard was Ryan's firm face. Now it's his turn to play Aragon, "The Supreme Lord of the Rings only listened to Sauron's call, and he has no other master!"
"Then how much do you know, a mere ranger?" Polomil obviously did not take Aragon to heart.
Aragon was silent without refuting, and Legolas, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly stood up, "He is not an ordinary ranger. He is Aragon, the son of Aragon, you must be loyal to him."
There were a total of ten cameras of all sizes surrounding the meeting venue. This group scene had been NG dozens of times before, and now the actors, including Ryan, have finally found their state.
As Legolas revealed Aragon's identity, the rest looked over in surprise.
"Aragorn?" Polomil was no exception. "You are the descendants of Essidor?"
When the other party mentioned his ancestor's name, the silent Aragon raised his head.
"It is also the heir to the throne of Gondor." This sentence still comes from the most beautiful person at the conference.
"Sit down, Legolas." Aragon suddenly changed into Kunya, as if he didn't want the heir from the dark forest to mention his other identity.
"Gondor has no king, and Gondor doesn't need a king."
This was Boromil's response. After saying that, he sat back, but his eyes were kept staring at Aragon.
"Cut!" Peter Jackson stood up from behind the main camera, let out a long sigh, and shouted, "It's over. Take a break for half an hour."
Ryan stood up and walked towards the studio's rest area. He looked cautious like other actors, afraid of touching the surrounding sets and finely made prop models.
Rivendell, the beautiful city of elfs in this movie. It is made by using a large number of sets and model props, plus the post-production modifications after shooting.
Ryan has been in the filming for several days. After a period of adaptation, he gradually found the feeling of Aragon. However, the group scenes filmed today involve many actors, and their substitutes are going to join in. The number of NGs will naturally rise sharply.
Behind each major actor, there may be one or several stand-in, such as Orlando Bloom who plays Legolas. All the action scenes without close-ups are completed by stunt actors, while some action scenes with frontal shots also use stunt actors. In post-production, his image is replaced.
There are also the Hobbits, Elijah Wood and others who are not shorts. Although their height problem can be solved to a certain extent through the reduction shooting technology, Peter Jackson still spent a lot of effort to find seven actors who were only three feet tall. Almost all the scenes of the Hobbit standing with other races will be completed by them with masks.
Also facing height issues is Jin Li, the actor John Davis, who plays him, is 6 feet 1 inch tall. His stand-in is a female stunt actor. It is said that when Jin Li and Legolas were filming a horse this month, they also sparked a lot of sparks with Orlando Bloom.
Although the shooting speed of the entire crew is controlled by Peter Jackson, it is deeply influenced by makeup artists. Casts like Ryan and Sean Bin who have grown hair often only need to stick their beards and work hard on the costumes and faces, which will usually be solved within two hours.
Orlando Bloom, Ian McLean and others also need to wear wigs. The handsome British boy even shaved his head in order to make it easier to wear wigs.
In addition to height issues, John Davis is a very troublesome one in the ring guard team. He needs to apply silicone to his face to change the outline. The makeup alone will take more than three hours, and the shooting speed will not be faster.
The most troublesome thing is the stunt actors who play orcs. When it is their turn to appear, they will start putting on makeup every morning. This process often lasts about ten hours, and then filming for four to five hours is very hard and very troublesome.
During the filming interval, the actors gathered together to chat and joke, which became the best way to relax in the busy life.
"There is no doubt that Ian is the best performer among you. He was born for Gandalf." After Peter Jackson handled the matter at hand, he rarely joined the chat.
"Can you ask me if you have any secret?" Ryan asked in cooperation.
"The secret of good acting is..." Ian McLean smiled mysteriously before saying, "The secret of good acting is that no matter how early you get up, how long you wait, how many times you have changed the start time, as long as the camera starts shooting, you have to get into the show immediately and integrate into the role. There is no time to waste, otherwise you will face Peter's roar!"
"This is really a standard answer."
Not only Ryan, but the rest of the people with their ears tilted their arms in protest.
"We have insufficient actors now, and many scenes can only be rescheduled." Peter Jackson talked about the next shooting plan. "The casting director of the crew has searched all over New Zealand and can't find so many handsome guys and beauties to play the elves. We can only shoot other scenes first."
"Maybe Peter could play one of them himself." Sean Bin pinched his chin and looked up and down at the director.
"Yes, we have two handsome guys Ryan and Orlando. I think everyone no longer wants to see handsome guys. We may need a more alternative elves." Alan Li, who is a concept designer, also came over at this time.
"The problem is that Peter is more like a Hubby." The person who spoke was Sean Austin, who played Sam.
"I heard that Vita Studio's computer technology is amazing. Maybe it can use later technology to make Mr. Jackson look a little more like a elves?"
Hearing Olado Bloom's joke, Ryan patted the shoulder of the handsome boy who was afraid of being a handsome boy and said very seriously, "Believe me, Orlando, this kind of technology does not exist in Vita Studio now, not even in the past ten years!"
Everyone laughed at the same time, and Ryan continued, "Peter, unless you lose weight, you should play a strong orc or a pirate."
"Okay, Ryan, I won't care about you because you have found your condition." The fat man in New Zealand seemed to be very generous and waved his hand to walk towards the director's chair. "I heard that you hired a special swordsman and don't plan to use a stunt actor in the next action scenes? Don't worry, I will definitely meet your requirements... Well, Aragon's fight seems to be too difficult. We should redesign his action scenes to increase the difficulty, and make Aragon look a little miserable when fighting..."
A few months before the filming began, most of the actors gathered together and conducted a special training for nearly two months. Only Ryan took advantage of his privileges and did not attend. It is understandable that Peter Jackson was a little dissatisfied.
Also, despite agreeing to Ryan as Aragon, he was actually worried that Ryan would be too young until Aragon's scenes started filming...
The shooting of the day was almost over. After removing the makeup, Ryan specially asked the prop team for his own special weapon - Nasir Holy Sword.
This is not an aluminum sword or a rubber sword. Apart from the lack of blade and slightly lightweight, it is a real steel sword.
"Hey, Ryan, what are you going to do?"
Just after walking out of the large warehouse where the prop group is located, Ryan met Orlando Bloom, who was also here. The British boy greeted him politely, "Sean wants to treat him tonight, are you going together?"
"Forget it, I'll still not go." Ryan knew that the place they were going to was the Queenstown bar, "You know, I can't drink."
"Okay, then." Orlando Bloom asked curiously when he saw the sword on his waist, "Grove again? Ryan, if you continue like this, you will become a real ranger."
Ryan waved his hand and walked towards the stable. After the filming in the past few days, he would ride a horse to the nearby woods for a few rounds. On the one hand, he would experience the life of a ranger just like Orlando Bloom said, and on the other hand, he would avoid Charlize Theron.
Although South African Diamond still has a good friend's attitude, Ryan could vaguely feel something. Out of the most basic respect for his friend, he could not speak ill of him when the other party came to him, so he had to hide.
"Brigo, don't you know me after only one day?"
Ryan walked to the placement of the maroon horse, which would be his main mount in the filming. "Well, we're a little stranger now, but I'm sure we'll be friends."
As he said that, he stepped onto the horse's back and asked the horse trainer who was holding the reins, "Roy, do you have any tricks to enhance your feelings with the horse? It's fast..."
"The easiest way..." the trainer hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the stable and said, "Sleep in the stable with Brigo."
"It's indeed a good idea." Ryan's lips shook, took the reins, and drove Brigo toward the woods in the distance.
After wandering around the woods for two times, Ryan stayed in front of a small open area in the middle, letting Brigo enjoy fresh food, pulled out the Nasir Sacred Sword and reviewed the sword technique he practiced specifically for shooting, which would not take long to come in handy.
