Chapter 348 Beheading the New York Tycoon
The biggest response from the super show was hyped to the point where the number of journalists and paparazzi increased dramatically outside the Wellington set. Not only Victoria's Secret supermodels, but all the main members of the crew became the focus of media attention. Once they appeared on the streets of Wellington, a large number of journalists would immediately surround them.
Duke, in particular, has almost become the focus of paparazzi siege and interception, which once affected normal commuting and getting off work. He had to temporarily hire two New Zealand bodyguards to deal with these guys with the attitude of waterproof, fireproof and reporters.
Before starting the filming again, Duke first decided to finalize Arwen's actor from Victoria's Secret Angels.
All the angels who officially signed a contract with Victoria's Secret participated in the audition, and the final makeup photos and videotapes were also sent to Duke.
“Heidi Krum is too old.”
In the studio, after watching the audition video, Zach Snyder fiddled with the makeup photos and expressed his own suggestions, "She aging is too fast. Although makeup can be concealed, some small details are more troublesome. I think she is not suitable."
"Anna, what about your opinion?" Duke asked the other deputy.
Anna Prinz picked up Heidi Krum's makeup photo, pointed to her makeup effect, and said, "The character Arwen does not require acting skills, but his personal temperament is consistent with the role settings. I agree with Zach's opinion. Heidi Krum can be eliminated."
They all worked with Duke for several years, knowing his style of doing things, so they always speak and give suggestions.
In fact, after the audition, there were only three candidates left. Duke did not want to use the actor who had been a long-faced, and was worried that his aesthetic would affect his rational judgment. He specially found Zach Snyder and Anna Prinz to combine their opinions.
"Take off Heidi Krum." Duke adopted the two people's opinions and said, "Let's go ahead."
"The next one is Gisele Bonchen." Anna Prinz said directly, "Her height, body shape and temperament are not a problem, but her face is too tough, and walking on the stand may not be a problem. When presented in front of the camera, it will be very unpleasant."
"I agree with Anna's opinion." Zach Snyder simply said.
Duke flipped through the makeup photos and took out the last person, Alessandra Ambroshe's makeup photos, "The only one is her."
"I think she is the most suitable one." Anna said first.
Zach Snyder nodded in agreement.
With his fingers gently pulling the table twice, Duke turned his head and said to the female assistant, "Tina, let someone inform Victoria's Secret and Alessandra Ambrosho."
The candidate for Arwen Muxing was confirmed, and the crew started filming again. Duke once again divided the crew into three film crews. Zach Sneider and Ben Watts went out to shoot some outdoor scenes in Lohan Country. Anna Prinz led other Victoria's Secret models besides Ambroxiu to shoot some scenes about the elves.
Duke continued to shoot the main scenes of the film in the studio.
Since Ian McLean went to the "X-Men" crew to be Magneto, Duke temporarily stopped shooting the Ring Guardians and instead filmed some scenes between the team members.
However, before that, Duke will first complete the guest filming of Donald Trump, after all, he will not be able to stay in Wellington for a long time.
In the studio, the set was just built, John Schwartzman was still in charge of his assistant setting up the camera, and Duke called Donald Trump to the front of the main camera.
"Donald, when it's finally finished, I'll give you a big close-up for about three seconds."
It was just a very simple guest appearance. Duke didn't give him a character script at all, and the scenes were quite simple, just say it, "What you have to do is not difficult..."
"Is it a big close-up on the front?" Donald Trump automatically ignored Duke's words.
"Yes, Donald, you should have heard of my reputation in movies." Duke walked towards the house built with props, took the oil lamp hanging in front of the door, and handed it to Donald Trump who followed him, "I promise, it's a large close-up on the front of the chest."
Hearing Duke's words, Donald Trump laughed. Showing is not just a show, but also requires the capital to show and a swearing head that can drive topic hype. If the film can be sold well, he will have positive close-ups. Even if he doesn't have to show off, many media will come to him on their own initiative.
He is not an ordinary actor, but a billionaire!
There are many billionaires who are richer than him, but not many who are good at showing off.
"Here."
Walking back to the main camera, Duke stood on the green screen and briefly talked about Trump's play, "Donald, you stand here and vaguely see someone coming from the darkness ahead, then lift the oil lamp, want to see clearly, and then ask who the person is."
Donald Trump came over with an oil lamp, and a props lit up the oil lamp. He stood beside Duke, looked at the camera that had been set up opposite him, and asked, "It's that simple?"
“It’s that simple.”
Seeing that the crew was getting ready, Duke turned around and wanted to leave, and then reminded, "Try to raise the oil lamp a little to illuminate your face."
"I see!"
When it comes to showing his face, Donald Trump is particularly energetic, "Don't worry, Duke. I'm not the first time I've photographed a chick."
Back at the back of the camera, Duke asked Ivanka Trump, and after getting the crew's prepared answer, he signaled that the scene could start.
"Scene 56, Act 1, begin now!"
As a celebrity who often appears on various TV shows, Donald Trump has a good sense of camera. In addition, Duke has already demonstrated him. All he needs to do is to change Duke's stiff demonstration into his own performance.
In front of the camera lens, Donald Trump took a step forward with the old-fashioned oil lamp and raised it as high as possible, as if he wanted to illuminate more places.
He asked loudly, "Who is ahead!"
"cut!" Duke stopped and looked at John Schwartzmann, and after he nodded, he said, "By! Donald, you can go and remove your makeup."
"Hey, Duke!" Donald Trump seemed unsatisfied and asked loudly, "I flew half of the earth to New Zealand, and waited here for two more days. It took me two hours to put on makeup, and only a few seconds to shoot?"
Duke ignored Donald Trump, who was complaining, turned to Ivanka Trump and ordered, "Go and get him done."
Ivanka rolled his eyes helplessly, walked towards his father, and dragged him out of the set with persuasion.
Although both sides are using each other from super show to guest appearances, Duke will definitely keep his promise and give Donald Trump a clear enough close-up, but he did not tell the other party that the close-up will eventually be edited into a scene with the Ring Spirit, and his character finally ushered in the long sword swinged by the Ring Spirit.
Afterwards, Duke notified the crew to make a transition.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy will use a large number of synthetic lenses, in front of green screens or blue screens, and use props or sets to make small scenes to shoot. This is almost the norm, especially in the scenes in the studio. There must be no dead corners around the scenes built with various props.
Several tall black war horses were led into the studio, and three stunt actors were completely shrouded in black robes, and even their faces were deeply hidden under the hood. As they and the horses entered the studio, there were two members of the fighters, the animal protector organization who had never left the crew.
In any scene where animals appear, they are more active than all members of the crew and will definitely be on time.
As soon as the two representatives entered the studio, Ivanka Trump walked over with several security personnel and vaguely surrounded them in the middle, guarding against these guys who were as sticky as sticky as ten times more strict than preventing reporters.
Not to mention that the crew has not overused or hurt animal actors, just saying that each of these animal actors is very valuable. Even from the cost considerations, Duke does not allow animal actors to have any accidents!
The filming started soon again, and there was no need for lines or close-up performances on the front. Three stunt actors who played the Ring Spirit turned on their horses and ran wildly in a shaped shape in front of the green screen. When they rushed to the place where Trump had just filmed, the witch King Angma in the front pulled out the long sword at his waist and slashed out at the height set by Donald Trump's height.
According to the principle that Donald Trump strongly demands that people must be remembered, Duke specially selected this role for him. The beheading of this tycoon from New York will definitely attract the attention of the audience.
The shooting went very smoothly. After only two repeated shots, Duke shouted through these scenes of horse racing.
Donald Trump has left the studio, but his daughter is still there, and Ivanka Trump has been on the crew for two months, enough to see some of the combination of shots.
"If dad comes to trouble you," she whispered behind Duke, "I won't help you."
Duke smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I believe Donald is not such a stingy person."
He turned around and asked, "Aren't you about to start school? Are you going to go back to New York with your dad?"
"Well..." Ivanka nodded slightly and said, "I'm making a handover with Tina and go with my father the day after tomorrow."
"You did a great job." Duke was still very satisfied with her overall.
Ivanka Trump is smart enough, and more importantly, she works very hard, and those who work hard are more likely to win people's favor.
"According to the shooting plan, you will stay in New Zealand for a long time." Ivanka thought for a while and asked, "Can I still come here for the next holiday?"
Chapter completed!
