Chapter four hundred and twenty fourth war scene

Hundreds of war horses performed such a good show at the same time. The smell in the woods was absolutely not good. Many people couldn't help but cover their noses. Some stunt actors wanted to laugh, but after seeing Ridley Scott's dark face, they could only force themselves to endure it. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very strange.

Ridley Scott has worked hard in Hollywood for decades and knows that animals are one of the most uncontrollable factors when shooting. If this kind of accident occurs, he can only admit that he is unlucky.

The shooting stopped temporarily. Ryan led Brigo into the woods not far away alone, waiting for the chores to clean up the scene.

When the filming started again, it was an hour later, but the shooting was still not smooth. The accident of horses and dogs barking would occur from time to time. Even the weather was going against the crew, and snowflakes were falling from the sky.

After a whole afternoon, this not-too-hard scene finally met Ridley Scott's request. Not only did the actors, including Ryan, be cold and hungry, but even many horses were slapped in their legs.

The crew can only be glad that there was no animal protector organization, otherwise it would be another huge trouble.

Out of the woods, a large area of ​​trailers formed the temporary garrison for the crew. Originally, this place was not particularly far from Northampton, but it always took time to go back and forth, as well as props and equipment in the venue. Ryan believed that if no one was guarding it, tomorrow would definitely become empty.

"A cup of hot coffee is enjoyable for such weather." The person who spoke was obviously Taylor.

Ryan just returned to his trailer and saw the helpless George. He was watching the two little girls stealing coffee without any help.

"Alison, Emma, ​​why are you here?" Ryan grabbed the cup in Taylor's hand and drank the full half of the cup. Then he felt a little warmer and asked again. "Who brought you here?"

"Emma's mom." Taylor's words were recognized by another girl, and Emma Watson echoed and lit his little head.

"Miss Watson's mother is the legal counsel of the crew." George explained, and simply left the trailer.

After simply cleaning up the messy trailer made by the two girls, Ryan replaced their coffee with hot juice, then sat on the same table and slowly tasted the coffee that should have been made by George.

"Ryan, are you going to rest tomorrow weekend?" Taylor asked with his lively royal blue eyes. "Can we go to Scotland? I want to go to Edinburgh to see it."

"I'm sorry, my dear." Ryan said after drinking the coffee in the cup and pouring himself a cup, "The crew will film it tomorrow."

"Ryan, is this Gladiator's story adapted from real events?" The question was Emma Watson.

"Oh, that's it." Taylor pointed to a folder on the desk. "There is a complete script in it. We were bored after we came here. So we read some of it."

"You won't mind, right?" she asked carefully again.

"It's okay, haven't I told you before that what can be put here is not important." Ryan smiled at Taylor and looked at another girl, "Why do you say that, Emma?"

"I think it's incredible to be a Roman emperor to participate in the fight," the Miss Emma Watson continued. "In order to understand the wizarding culture, I have learned the history of Europe. I have learned a little about the ancient Roman Empire, although not much."

"So, Emma." Ryan recalled and explained in detail, "Commodes has historical prototypes, and Maximos in history was indeed killed by him. Of course, it is not the way in the script. The movie must be properly artistically processed. If you want to know this history, you can go and read "The History of the Decline of the Roman Empire" written by Mr. Yoshimoto, which should have corresponding records."

"That Kang..." Taylor scratched his head, and waited for Emma Watson to remind him, and continued to ask, "Has the emperor Commods really been a gladiator?"

"This should be true." Ryan nodded and filled the two girls with juice. "Commodes really likes gladiating. He likes to fight with slaves. It is said that the weapons he uses are a large net and a three-edged fork. Historical records show that he participated in more than 700 gladiating times in his not-too-long life. His other skill is archery. The one who died under the arrow was a beast collected from various provinces of the Roman Empire."

"If he represented Rome in the Olympic Games, he might be able to win two gold medals for Rome: free fighting and archery." Emma Watson just sighed and welcomed Taylor's rebuttal, "Is there a free fighting event in the Olympics?"

"Who knows?" Ryan waved his hand casually.

"Then how did he die? Did he die in the arena?"

"Commodus did not die in a gladiator." Ryan thought about the words, "He was strangled to death by a professional wrestler in the locker room after being fed poison by a woman."

"The bad guy really has no good ending!"

In the world of children, people are both good and bad, but there is no clear boundary between these two types of people. Ryan couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he listened to their childish words.

I also want to be a good person, but greed is an original sin. Perhaps one day, I will become a bad person in Taylor's mouth.

In any case, even if there were occasional snowflakes falling in the sky in the next two days, the shooting continued. Ryan's personal shots were not many. Sometimes he talked to the emperor, occasionally accepted the respect of the soldiers, and even rode Brigo in the fire. Fortunately, no accidents happened.

After filming his rivalry with Leonardo, who played Commodes, the crew only had that big battle left here.

"Ryan, God will bless you."

Standing in the camp belonging to the Roman army and looking at the battlefield, Leonardo said in a run, "I heard that you have killed a stunt actor more than fifty times in the Lord of the Rings crew? How many people will you kill this time? Let me guess..."

"Leon, you should be glad that you are not one of the Germans, otherwise..." Ryan gestured to his neck and joked, "I can break your neck with one hand."

"Then your Ethan Hante will be replaced in the future."

After Leonardo finished speaking, Ryan patted his shoulder and walked towards the battlefield with the other actors.

This battle was not as intense as imagined. Ridley Scott planned to use short shots to quickly convert and combine them with montage techniques to show the war, which required a large number of short shots. The fights between Ryan and others often stopped after a little movement, and were not as difficult and dangerous as imagined.

Except for the scene where Maximos fell off the horse, using a stand-in stuntman, just like in "The Lord of the Rings", Ryan will complete the other difficult scenes himself.

Of course, in addition to highlighting his protagonist, the war shows more collective strength and the power of the Roman legion.

But even the Roman legion, which was famous for its battle formation, inevitably turned into a street-like melee in the later stages of shooting.

This can be said to be a common problem in all ancient epic movies, and there are all kinds of misunderstandings that are always criticized.

Although strictly speaking, he and Leonardo are not very Romans, the two of them dyed their hair and put on makeup, they are still somewhat similar. Moreover, the movie mainly faces audiences in North America and Western Europe, and not many people care about this.

Besides, it is more reliable than a super epic masterpiece in his previous life, creating a bunch of blond and blue-eyed ancient Greeks.

The filming of a movie is sometimes difficult, but sometimes surprisingly smooth. The war was completed in just two days. It is expected that the work will be over in four days in total.

"Rome will win! Rome will win!"

Wearing dirty armor, Ryan was the first to raise his sword, and under his leadership, the remaining legion soldiers shouted slogans in unison.

After this shot is over, they can leave the cold and hungry battlefield and return to the warm hotel in Northampton.

"Ryan."

When he walked back to the trailer after taking off his makeup, Ryan heard the shout behind him and turned around and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Leon?"

"That's right, Ryan." Leonardo handed over an invitation, "It's London Fashion Week soon. Will Giselle come here to walk the show. Can you invite you to support me?"

After hearing Leonardo mention it, Ryan remembered that London Fashion Week was coming soon, no wonder he could always see some skinny women at the Hilton Hotel recently.

"As long as there is no conflict with the crew's shooting." Ryan looked at Ridley Scott, and Leonardo immediately understood, "Ridley is definitely not a problem, I'll get him done."

With Ridley Scott's personality, it is not very difficult to temporarily adjust the role. Jennifer Lopez has asked him to coordinate in order to attend the Grammy ceremony.

"Ryan, I just met Leon."

Before he got back to the trailer, Ryan was stopped again, this time it was Taylor, "I heard him say you are going to see the London Fashion Week show, don't forget that I'm still there!"

"You want to go too?" Ryan walked towards his trailer without looking back.

"Of course." The little girl followed and said naturally, "I also want to pick a few beautiful clothes for my mother and Nicole."

"Dear, do you have that much money?" Ryan opened the trailer door and carried the little girl in. "The pocket money you saved is only enough to buy a corner of your clothes."

"But you have money." Taylor was not polite at all. "You can advance payment first, and I will sell the record in the future and then return the money to you. Isn't it possible? We can calculate the interest according to the bank's interest rate."

Well, who said she was still the same scoundrel when she grew up! Ryan shook his head and sighed.

However, Giselle Bonchen should be participating in the Victoria's Secret show, right? Is Taylor going to buy underwear for someone? (To be continued...)
