There are several highlights in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, such as the Moria pit, the Battle of the Holy Helmet Valley, the Battle of Minastiris, etc., which require a lot of preliminary preparations, and some almost completely require set-up shooting. When Ryan returned to New Zealand, the crew was running around to shoot some fragmented outdoor scenes.

In order to save time, Peter Jackson simply rented several helicopters as transportation.

The buzzing propeller brought snowflakes all over the sky. Two helicopters stopped in a ski resort in the Southern Alps. Ryan and other members of the Ring Protection Team jumped off the helicopter one after another.

The crew has already contacted the ski resort and will shoot some scenes about the snow-capped mountains here.

But after Ryan and others put on makeup and the crew set up the equipment set, they still had to wait because the important member of the Ring Protection Team, Mr. Boromil, was still on the way.

Sean Bin, who plays Polomil, has a very serious flight phobia and can only ride a car at a time - ride a horse or walk where the car cannot pass - to the outdoor venue. This has become the norm and is also an excuse for everyone to use as a joke.

"Next time, we can tie Sean to the plane, and in just one time his phobia will be cured."

The weather was cold, and everyone gathered together to drink hot coffee and chat. After hearing the unreliable suggestions, Ryan shook his head, "I believe Sean got off the plane, and his first idea was to use Polomil's broadsword to stab a few holes in you. Trust me, John. He will definitely do this."

"I think Sean is more likely to be scared to death as a heart attack." Elijah Wood said while playing with the Lord of the Rings.

Ryan drank the remaining hot coffee in the cup and walked behind the camera, "Peter, how is the current progress?"

"It's slower than expected." The fat man in New Zealand helped his eyes, and was a little helpless, "Ryan..."

"Well, I just want to ask, when will the movie be released at the earliest?" Ryan interrupted his words with his hand. "Give me a time to be exact."

"It will be until 2001 at the earliest." Peter Jackson changed his complaining tone. "The actors' schedule is too nervous. Your Marvel Pictures also snatched away my Gandalf and Princess Arwen, and you, Ryan, can you stay on the crew for a while?"

"Hey, hey, Peter." Ryan pointed to Sir Ian McLean in the crowd, "Our white robe wizard is back."

After waiting for about an hour, Sean Bin finally arrived. Fortunately, his makeup was not particularly troublesome, so he didn't have the audition for too long. The crew entered the shooting state.

On the snowy ridge, the set was busy. Because they appeared with a few little Habi people, not only were the stand-in actors who were only three feet tall, but also used forced perspective shooting technology.

Forced perspective shooting technology. It is Peter Jackson's Vita Studio, a shooting system that specializes in developing for the Habis, including pulleys and platforms. It is a normal person who is placed close to the foreground of the camera and step on a higher-level platform. The actors who play the Habis are on the ground in the background, which will create a corresponding visual illusion. When the camera moves, the actors will also move along to maintain a visual ratio of about seven to four.

This system is not perfect, especially when used in long shots, which will give people a feeling of being invisible. At this time, the "dwarf" actors specially hired by the crew will need to come on stage with masks from Frodo and others.

In addition to the actor's role, the crew also had to shoot a lot of snow scenes here. When Ryan and others finished work, Peter Jackson was still busy with people.

"Shawn, don't forget, you've been killed once."

As the group walked towards the temporary dressing room, Eliya Wood muttered dissatisfied that Sean Bin was extremely active in the filming and hit Eliya Wood several times.

"Because you are all depraved, Iluvita had to send me back and save you." The Iluvita in Shawn Bin's mouth is the supreme god in the original work.

"We have King Ilisa!" Other actors who starred in the Habi people all protested.

"There is only Arwen in King Ilisa's eyes." Sean Bin pulled out his prop sword, "Gondor's sword is the weapon to protect you."

"Wow, Ryan, you should protest." John Davis walked around Ryan and incited loudly, "What do you think about it?"

"This is definitely a good idea."

"I agree."

"I am the banker, Ryan wins one compensation, and Sean wins one compensation." Orlando Bloom instantly became a dealer, "Who bets?"

"Shawn, do you really want to duel with me?" Ryan smiled maliciously, and the sword around his waist had been pulled out halfway.

Sean Bin looked at the steel sword that reflected the snow light, then looked at the rubber sword in his hand, and said very simply, "What a genius wants to duel with you?"

"Hey, Sean, you can't do this." John Davis protested loudly, "How can you admit defeat without fighting?"

"Well, John, I'll give you the chance to fight."

After hearing Shawn Bin's words and seeing the gloating expressions of others, John Davis simply shut up.

Although nine of them are amateur players for fighting, there are also differences in amateur players. John Davis, Sean Bin and others know that Ryan did not use stunt stand-ins in all the action shots that have been shot, and they all went on stage in person. Although his skills are incomparable to the bodyguard who has been following him, they are much more flexible and agile than them.

The action scenes that Ryan wants to shoot are not only the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but also "Gladiator". If you want to get full recognition from public opinion, try not to use a substitute as much as possible.

When he rushed back to the crew station outside Queenstown, it was already dark. Ryan went to the prefabricated area where he served as a restaurant to have dinner casually, and then returned to his trailer.

Although he was in the wild, he acted as a trailer in his room and was not as comfortable as a luxury suite in a five-star hotel. In this regard, Ryan was deeply influenced by Nicole and would never treat himself unfairly.

Besides, only by resting well can you devote all your energy to shooting.

Of course, this is obviously impossible for Ryan. Perhaps after entering the set, all he thought about was the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but at other times, he had to deal with other things.

Making coffee for yourself, Ryan opened his notebook and continued the unfinished Pirates of the Caribbean series.

After he wrote the outline and setting, he prepared a case at the Screenwriter Association and let Jinsli promote it. The creativity has been occupied in advance, so there is no need to be so anxious about the script.

In Ryan's vision, the trilogy could be filmed at the same time, which would save a lot of expenses in production and actor remuneration. He also had many surgeries on the script, especially the first part strengthened its connection with the latter two parts. In terms of some small props and the actor's lines, David Jones and the Endless World would be mentioned from time to time.

Especially when Captain Barbosa failed in the end, he would shout to Jack Sparrow, "David Jones will come back to ask you for that debt!"

In short, all this is to lead to the subsequent sequel, not as stiff as in the previous life.

As for whether there will be a fourth and fifth part in the future, as long as the movie can make money, why not continue shooting?

However, after the news about "Pirates of the Caribbean" spread, even with Ryan's past achievements, it was still not favored by most industry insiders.

Pirate-type movies have taught Hollywood so much that the lessons they have brought to me are so painful.

Carlock Pictures acquired by Jenkins Pictures fell on the pirate-type theme "Cutting the Throat Island".

Mario Casa was ambitious at that time and raised 100 million US dollars to invest in this movie through financing, and later invested up to 50 million US dollars in publicity and marketing expenses. The cost of this 50 million US dollars was only exchanged for a box office of more than 10 million US dollars, which directly led to the bankruptcy of Carlock Pictures.

Originally, Pirate Film was a popular theme in Hollywood, and the failure of "Cutting the Throat Island" directly buried this theme, resulting in Mario Casar turning into administration after Jenkins Pictures acquired Carloch Pictures and vowed to never touch work directly related to movies again.

Ryan shook his head, even though five years have passed, the shadow of "Cut Throat Island" is still shrouded in Hollywood.

In fact, many people in their previous life analyzed the reasons for the failure of "Cutting the Throat Island". Ryan still remembers that some people said that the reason is very simple, because there is no Captain Jack Sparrow in the characters in this movie, and no Johnny Depp among the actors.

Of course, these are all jokes.

After the film failed, many industry insiders also did research, and Ryan was no exception. In addition to the female Pirate King and the outrageous plot, Mario Casa gave director Rennie Harlem too much power, which was also a fatal factor.

You should know that there was no female pirate king in the original script. The director forced the role and then found Gina Davis to star in it. After the film failed, Gina Davis became the director's wife.

Under the rules of light or darkness that exist in Hollywood, this can illustrate some problems.

The producers restrict the director's power sometimes lead to the failure of the film, but more often than not, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

Ryan often gives the other party the corresponding power, but the supervision measures they should have will not be missing.

It was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, Ryan packed up his notebook and prepared to rest.

There is also a shooting mission tomorrow. They are like rabbits driven by wolves, flying around New Zealand in a helicopter, shooting those fragmented outdoor scenes.
Chapter completed!
