"Vigo, what's going on?"

In the studio, Duke looked at Vigo Motson with a little cold look, and there was a large piece of blue and purple bruises on one side of the other person's forehead. "I believe you know the importance of face to the actor!"

Although the bruises are only on the side of the forehead, they are extremely obvious and are not a problem that can be solved by makeup. In the scenes of Aragon and Arwen, today, there are a large number of close-ups of Vigo Motson's frontals, and his scars have affected the shooting effect.

With his arms crossed, Duke frowned slightly at Vigo Motson. In fact, since the filming began, he has a good impression of this actor. Vigo Motson trains hard, has outstanding riding skills, is extremely dedicated, and has a good understanding. Most actors need to use special stunt stand-in to complete the scenes, which he can easily do.

"I'm sorry, Duke." Vigo Motson was just apologizing.

After putting on makeup, Elijah Wood and Billy Boyd walked over from the periphery. Seeing that the scene was a bit stiff, after inquiring clearly, the former quickly walked in front of Duke.

"Duke, you can't blame Vigo for this." Ilia Wood saw Duke's cold expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I made his injury."

Duke turned his head and looked at him, but didn't say anything, waiting for Elijah Wood to explain to him.

"There are no plays for the past few days." Elijah Wood said quickly, "Billy, Sean, and Vigo, and I went to the ski resort to skiing. My skiing skills were just as good as I rushed down the snow slope and knocked Vigo down..."

"You did a great job. Ilia."

The eyes swept through Elia Wood, Billy Boyd, Sean Austin and Vigo Motson respectively. Duke said to the female assistant behind him, "Tina. Notify that during the filming of the crew, all actors are not allowed to engage in excessively vigorous sports."

He also ordered the assistant director next to him to "After the play of William, Arwen and Aragon, and shoot the Hobbit this morning."

After saying that, he pointed at the three hobbit actors. "You guys go and prepare, we'll shoot the Leaping Horse Hotel."

Billy Boyd stabs Elijah Wood. "Are we going to be in trouble?"

"What do you think?"

Elijah Wood turned his head and glared at him, "If you hadn't pushed me yesterday, I wouldn't have bumped into Vigo, now. We're all going to be in trouble."

Duke asked an assistant to notify Alessandra Ambroshew who was still wearing makeup and took the crew to another studio. The interior of the Leaping Horse Hotel had been built long ago. John Schwartzman directed the arrangement of the camera, while Duke instructed the stylist to change the shapes of the four hobbits.

The makeup of the four people does not need to be changed greatly. What needs to be adjusted is the clothes, and the big feet of the Hobbit.

This is one of the most time-consuming makeup. It takes about an hour to wear this pair of big feet made of silicone. Moreover, the feet are disposable props and can only be scrapped after use. The hobbit feet made of silicone and the pointed ears of the elf. The crew prepared nearly 2,000 pairs.

It was completely different from what Billy Boyd and Elijah Wood thought. After putting on makeup, the shooting was completely normal, and it was no different from the past.

Although an accident happened, any time is precious for Duke. He didn't have the leisure to accompany the actors to do it, and this scene also brought a large number of extras who acted as backgrounds from outside. It was not at such moments that the director's authority was reflected.

Vigo Motson also joined the shooting. The Ranger wearing a hood does not need a close-up on the front, and the shadow of the hood can also block the scars on the forehead.

“ut!”

After Duke called for a stop, the chaotic scene in the studio stopped immediately.

He waved to the actors, signaled that the stop had nothing to do with them, and then shouted to the crew, "John, close-up of Vigo's pipe and beard."

After filming the Yuema Hotel, the crew changed again to film the scene of four Hobbits entering the village of Brie. New Zealand in August was not hot, and it was even a little cold. The four actors were going to move forward in the heavy rain.

In the slightly dilapidated village built with the set and props, the artificial heavy rain has been prepared. Of course Duke will not use cold water. He is not so crazy yet. It is just that the four actors walk in the mud, one step deep and one step shallow, and the situation where the heads are constantly falling into the water is absolutely not a good idea.

“Is Duke messing with us?”

Sitting on the stool in the resting place, Billy Boyd asked while rubbing the water droplets on his face, "Why do I feel the rain is very heavy?"

"Do you think he is punishing us?" Elijah Wood shook his head. "If so, he would never shout through at once."

“What Ilia said makes sense.”

The oldest Sean Austin stood up, "It's better to go take a shower and change clothes. If we are sick, Duke will definitely punish us."

This is how the shooting is, and some unexpected factors will always pop up suddenly. Even if the Ring Protection Team has no real actors, the atmosphere seems particularly harmonious, and there will be situations similar to Vigo Motson being injured.

When an accident occurs, how to allocate the crew's resources can be said to be one of the director's most basic abilities.

Zach Schneider, who was out for the outdoor scene, also encountered some trouble. A stunt actor who played the Lohan cavalry fell off his horse during filming and broke two ribs. However, the crew quickly negotiated a compensation agreement with his agent, and the stunt actor was also safely admitted to the hospital in Wellington.

For example, there are many epic masterpieces in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which are like wars, cavalry and other scenes. It is impossible for no actors to be injured during the filming.

Especially for stunt stand-ins, they need to complete various difficult movements, and bumps and bumps are basically common.

After nearly a week, the scars on Vigo Motterson's face gradually dissipated, and Duke put the postponed scenes back on the agenda. This is the scene where Arwen found Aragon and the four Hobbits.

Alessandra Ambroshe's hair was dyed black and her eyes were wearing black contact lenses to match the image of Arwen in the novel's description. When she walked to the camera with a long-handled elf scimitar suit, she aroused many people's praise.

Especially Billy Boyd, an active member, shouted loudly before the filming started, "Colin, you are so beautiful! I decided to write a song for you, no, I want to write two!"

This actor who plays Pipin is a music lover and has the ability to compose music.

Hearing his words, Duke became interested and said loudly, "Billy, you can try to write some songs. If I can meet my requirements, I might use it as the theme song."

Billy Boyd immediately became energetic, "That's it, Duke."

Waving his hands over there, Duke walked into the shooting site. Surrounded by the green screen, there was a small forest built. The trees in them were made of plastic, and the shrubs and grass were all fake, but they were very realistic. Not to mention that they would undergo post-modification shots, they even looked real with the naked eye.

After looking at Alessandra Ambrosho, who was standing here with Vigo Motson, Duke walked to the clump of Assilas, squatted down and took a closer look. This was the only close-up plant in the scene and the only real plant. The original object was a kind of unique New Zealand grass found in the prop group.

Asilas is also known as King's Grass in the original work. As the name suggests, it is the herb used by the king. Aragon, who inherited the bloodlines of Islamidir and Essidor, was a natural doctor. Although he could not treat Frodo, he later cured Iowin and Faramir.

Aragon's identity and skill are naturally the setting in the original work. In the Gondor proverb written by Tolkien, there is a saying that the king's hand is the doctor's hand!

After wandering around the set, Duke routinely asked Vigo Motson and Alessandra Ambrosho, back to the director's monitor, notifying the scene to prepare for filming.

The recorder immediately picked up the recorder and placed it in front of the camera, "Scene 69, Act 2, start now!"

Duke's eyes were basically on Arwen, played by Ambrose, and this scene was not difficult for Vigo Motson, who had already entered the state, and Ambrose was only the first time he appeared in a movie.

There was no expression on her face, but she just took out her most beautiful side in front of the camera. Combined with the effect of clothing and styling, her innocent temperament was a bit noble, especially the tight elf warrior suit, which highlighted her slender figure, which was very consistent with Tolkien's setting for the elves race.

However, Ambrose was only the first time to shoot a movie, and he was obviously inexperienced. When he placed the scimitar on Vigo Motson's neck, he did not control the angle and hung up Aragon's tattered costume.

“ut!”

Duke immediately stopped and Ambroshe immediately showed an apology smile to the side, "Sorry, I didn't control my movements."

"Keep the feeling I just now!" Duke reminded him, waited for the actor to move again, and then shouted, "Start!"

After two more times, this one passed smoothly. The scenes filmed on this day were basically related to Alessandra Ambroshew, and most of the scenes she appeared were Aragon, and the crew also launched the carefully constructed Rivendell for the first time.

This is a picturesque elves valley in the film. The distance is mainly built with sets and blue screens. The close-up is made of various carefully crafted props, exquisite like works of art. Even Billy Boyd sighed that when the shooting is over, he must collect a set, because the utensils used by the British royal family are not as beautiful as these.

Duke also promised that when starring actors such as Ambroshe and the Ring Guardian Team ended their respective roles, they would receive gifts carefully prepared by the crew.

The filming is going on day by day. In addition to the busy and busy work, Duke will also organize some amateur activities to serve as a adjustment for the crew. After all, the combination of work and rest is the king, and not everyone is a workaholic. (To be continued)
