Chapter 218 Gandalf Is Scared: Director, Have You Passed This One? No Need To Retake It! ?
"The Lord of the Rings, Book 1, Act 20, Scene 3, action!"
Chen Luo gave an order, and the record was played.
Immediately afterwards, a gray robe appeared in the camera, riding a galloping horse, walking through a piece of grassland and bushes!
In the camera, not far from the grassland is the endless forest, the sun and the snow-capped mountains!
Just simple scenery, it is full of epic meaning.
This scene is the scene where the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, after learning that Bilbo's ring is the Supreme Lord of the Rings, went to Isengard to ask for help from the white-running wizard Saruman.
Because this scene does not require acting skills, but the actors are required to be good at riding, let the horse run at the fastest speed, and the two robes feel like they are flowing in the wind.
In a word: it looks good enough!
Therefore, Chen Luo suggested to use a stand-in to shoot, after all, the old man is not young.
McLean, however, insisted on going into battle himself.
He didn't want this legendary epic movie masterpiece to leave any goofy scenes.
When the 61-year-old McLean was riding a horse in front of Chen Luo's camera, Chen Luo finally realized that he was worrying too much.
The old man's riding skills are extremely superb, and his elegant figure looks old and teacher-like!
"cut!"
"Pass!"
McClain rode back, sat on the horseback and winked at Chen Lu with a smile on his face.
Chen Luo immediately gave him a thumbs up:
Awesome, convinced.
"Clean up guys, next play!"
In the next scene, after Gandalf met Saruman, he discovered that Saruman had betrayed the revolution and defected to Sauron.
In order to shoot this scene, two well-equipped ambulances were prepared outside the crew!
Because the old actor Christopher Lee who played Saruman is already 7 years old.
And this scene is still a fight between two wizards!
The two actors also made a clear request: no need for a substitute, really fight, really fall!
The only thing that makes Chen Luo fortunate is that although Christopher Lee is 77 years old, his body is still very strong.
The old man was a soldier who participated in World War II, and he was a special soldier.
Anti-terrorism, secret investigation, hostage rescue, everything has been done!
Moreover, when Director Jackson in his previous life invited him to play Saruman, an interesting incident happened.
Jackson was shooting a scene: a man was suddenly stabbed from behind by someone else.
Jackson thought that the person who was stabbed had to yell "Ah" to feel real. However, at this time, Li, the actor who played Saruman, stood up and told him: the person who was stabbed cannot yell, it will be difficult. exhale.
Jackson was very upset, saying that I am the director, not you? Listen to me!
However, Mr. Christopher Lee shut Jackson up with just one sentence:
"I've stabbed a lot of people in the back, director. None of them yelled, they all breathed out with difficulty and pain."
The retired special soldier and active actor convinced Jackson on the spot...
There's no way, people really stabbed it!
As a result, when it was shot later, the effect was really bursting with realism.
This incident was once passed on as a good story and joke by the film and television industry.
But it also proves that Jackson is not a self-willed director, so he made the handed down masterpiece "Lord of the Rings".
It also proves Christopher Lee's professional attitude when filming: strive to be true!
"You don't really think a hobbit can stand against Sauron's will?"
"An enemy of Mordor, none shall prevail."
"We can only cooperate with Sauron, Gandalf!"
"That's the wisest thing, sour!"
In front of the camera, the white-robed wizard Saruman said coldly.
The majestic and cruel expression made the surrounding staff responsible for lighting and sound collection a little terrified.
Chen Luo steadily controlled the camera, turning the close-up to Gandalf.
The expression on Gandalf's face changed from surprise, disbelief, and finally to deep disappointment:
"Tell me, old friend..."
"Saruman the Wise, why have you given up reason...and chosen madness:"
At this moment, Saruman finally broke out, raised his staff and knocked Gandalf into the air!
Gandalf, who was hanging on the wire, suddenly flew back, and with a "bang", he hit the iron door heavily!
Then fell hard to the ground!
Gandalf groaned in pain, but suddenly raised his staff and attacked Saruman!
As if Saruman had been hit by a giant hammer, he threw his head backwards on the marble floor!
The sound of the back hitting the floor firmly makes people feel pain!
However, the two old men did not stop at all. According to the movements Chen Luo had rehearsed for them before, they waved their staffs and fought together!
"cut!"
"Pass!"
Chen Luo finally shouted.
"Check the film bottom frame!"
He straightened up from the camera and continued:
"Makeup artist!"
"Rearrange the hairstyles and make-up for the two old men!"
"Move faster!"
The long hair of the two old wizards was messed up because of falling back and forth. Although they have a sense of reality, they have covered their faces, and they can't take pictures of their expressions. This is not acceptable.
"More blood on Gandalf's face! Saruman too!"
"The hair doesn't have to be too neat, it has to be messy, but it has to be able to expose the eyes and nose, so that the camera can capture the scene in their eyes, understand?"
Chen Luo said.
Makeup artist: "Understood, director!"
"Hurry up!"
The two old men were breathing heavily at this time, and they had a real sense of fighting. Chen Luo didn't want to let the two old men rest because of makeup.
At that time, the two old men will have to trot and jump around the set to let themselves breathe again.
That would be too much to suffer.
"OK, this makeup is not bad!"
The blood on the faces of the two old actors was very real, and their hair was messy, but they did not cover their eyes and noses.
Exactly what Chen Luo wanted!
"The recorder is ready to hit the board!"
Chen Luo supported the camera and shouted:
"The Lord of the Rings, Book I, Act Twentieth, Scene 3 Laction!"
Accompanied by the sound of hitting the board, the two old men waved their staffs and fought together again...
"I clearly gave you a chance!"
"Let you volunteer to assist me!"
...asking for flowers...
Saruman's white hair was disheveled, blood was flowing from the right side of his face, but his eyes were full of ferocity and mockery!
He held two staffs (one was snatched from Gandalf) and pointed at Gandalf!
Gandalf was dragged by Wia, rolled and spun on the ground, and was beaten hard!
That's the visual effect of the staff casting spells!
He keeps making noises of pain, because the old man is really in pain now!
Saruman's tall body is even more oppressive in Chen Luo's bottom-up shots!
He walked towards Gandalf step by step, Chen Luo was in front of him, holding the camera backwards to take close-ups of his hideous face.
Finally, Saruman came to Gandalf, and angrily said to him with two staffs:
"But you chose a painful path for yourself as the way forward!"
After finishing speaking, he suddenly cast a spell on Gandalf with two staffs, and the staffs were lifted up suddenly!
"ah!!!"
"Medical team!"
Amon immediately begged. .
Then immediately turned back and shouted:
"It's okay, I'm fine!"
Chen Luo said with a smile:
"Don't worry, you're so good at acting!"
"Over and over again!"
Chen Luo finally shouted.
"cut!"
Gandalf howled in pain, and was spun and pulled into the air by Wia!
"Director, it's confirmed, don't you need to reshoot?"
Looking at the state of the two elders now, it is obvious that there is no major problem.
The old man yelled "Ouch, Ouch", and while being examined by the doctor, he said:
He didn't want to leave hidden wounds because of his bravado, and finally disrupt the filming progress of the crew because of his own problems.
In terms of safety, the production crew checked over and over again before allowing the two elders to start filming. It can be said that it is almost foolproof.
Christopher Lee sat down on the ground, gasping for air:
"Leave work early today!"
The doctors and nurses who were on standby hurried over with the boxes on their shoulders.
"I'm fine!"
0
"Check the bodies of the two old men!"
Seeing this, Chen Luo finally felt relieved, turned around and said to the crowd:
After McLean was unhooked from the wire, he lay on the floor panting and dressed roughly, allowing the doctors and nurses to check him over and over again like a dead fish on a chopping board.
"Understood, boss!"
Although he himself feels that there is nothing wrong with his body, it is better to ask the doctor to confirm.
McClain was also carefully put down by Wia, and a group of people hurried over to catch him.
Now he is most afraid that Chen Luo will suddenly say: No, snap!
"knock off!"
"Pass!"
Fortunately, after the doctor's examination, the two old people were fine.
During this "fighting scene", he was almost always the one being beaten, he was thrown around, and a bunch of old bones were hanging and falling apart.
"Emon! Tell the editor to come to my room to work after dinner!"
It's just a little swollen, and I can almost recover after I go back and apply ice, take a bath and sleep.
The medical group is also just Chen Luo's final insurance just in case.
Fly higher and higher!
