The roar of the strong orc kept ringing. Duke stood above the horn castle and looked at the causeway in front of the city gate in front of the left. A team of strong men dressed up as strong orcs carried the city wood and rushed out of the queue. In front of the city gate, he rushed towards the city gate with foam stones falling from above.

Although this city-slamming wood is not as good as a real war tool, it is a real guy produced by the crew. He was transported to the outdoor location by truck the day before yesterday.

Nearly fifty strong orcs were carrying the city wood and hitting the wooden gate of the Horn Fort with force, making a dull sound. The city gate seemed to be very strong and unharmed.

The strong orc hit again, one, two, three... the city gate remained unmoved.

After more than a dozen consecutive collisions, the strong orcs obviously lost their strength. After all, these stunt actors were not Saruman's war machine, and Duke also called for a stop and rest at the right time.

However, after resting for half an hour and starting the shooting again, the strong orc was still unable to break through the gate of the Horn Castle. The thin wooden door seemed to be really insurmountable.

“ut!”

After shouting a stop again, Duke left the walls of the Horn Castle, walked down the stairs, and came to the city gate. The gate had been opened, and Bill from the prop group rushed over and was asking for the opinions of the stunt actors.

"It's so strong!" said the strong orc actor who was leading the way, "we can't bump at all."

Sean Davis, who plays Jin Li, quipped with his big axe, "Corn, it's not that the door is too strong, but that you are too unprofessional. You are like a elves when you hit the door."

"Shawn!"

The stuntman was obviously very familiar with Sean Davis, so he directly gestured to him with a middle finger, "You can come here and give it a try."

Duke raised his hand and signaled that the guys were quiet. He walked to the door and knocked. The door was indeed not thick...

"Ten minutes of rest. Go again," he said.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Duke stood by the camera behind the city gate without returning to the horn castle. The expensive camera was protected by dense metal shelves to prevent the city gate from being damaged by scattered wood chips when it was knocked open.

However, the city gates are not broken, and these protections cannot play any role.

The shooting started again. Standing behind the city gate, Duke could hear the sound of thunder. The stunt actors were obviously either not working hard, but the thin city gate was still standing in a violent impact.

"stop!"

This is not a solution. Duke once again called for a stop to shoot and turned to ask the head of Wita Studio, "Richard, where is the city gate customized?"

Richard Taylor smiled awkwardly.

The atmosphere in the crew was a little nervous, and Duke casually joked, "I just wanted to find these people to make doors for me. The doors they made could definitely block the impact of reporters and paparazzi."

Everyone around laughed.

Duke walked over and patted Richard Taylor on the shoulder, "I don't want to make a new city gate."

He turned his head and shouted to the crew, "This scene is suspended, we will switch to film the fight scene above the city wall."

A large number of powerful orcs and Luohan soldiers moved to the city wall of the Horn Castle to shoot. The shots here are very scattered, and most of them are scenes of powerful orcs slaughtering Luohan militias. At this point, if it weren't for the foreign aid brought by Gandalf, the reinforcements of humans and elves would undoubtedly be defeated.

These scenes are not difficult. The shooting time is much less than the time to put on makeup and to put on strong orcs. The entire shooting is intermittent.

Duke's director camera is set on the highest podium, which can clearly see the overall situation. In addition to Ivanka Trump, there is also an assistant from the crew who assists him in his work.

Compared to the assistant who was busy with all kinds of shooting-related matters, Ivanka most of the time dealt with Duke's personal problems and had to be much more leisurely. She sat in the corner and quietly looked through the crew's concept artwork and some storyboard artworks.

Although she served as Duke's assistant, Ivanka has never been a real movie lover. Take the series she was filming for example. She has neither read the original work nor had she any interest in reading the original work.

However, after seeing too many concept artworks and actual shootings, she really struggled to understand some places. Sometimes she would ask a few questions while Duke was resting.

She looked through several conceptual pictures of the city of Idoras in Lohan. She had been looking at it for a long time. Seeing that Duke had stopped working, she couldn't help but pick up the coffee cup and sent it over.

"Thank you." Duke took the coffee, took a sip, and saw that Ivanka was still standing behind, and asked, "Is there anything?"

"Well, there are some things I don't understand." Ivanka placed the concept artwork in front of Duke. "Idoras is the location of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Lohan. How did it be designed so...dilded, just a simple wooden city?"

Duke knew that she had never read the original work and had asked similar questions before, so he briefly explained a few words, "Luhan is a country with nomadic peoples as the main body. Their lifestyle is mainly nomadic. Although Idoras is the location of the palace, it is actually just a winter shelter for the people of Lohan."

He used to be, and he had seen countless people ask this on the Internet. They obviously ignored one thing: What do nomads want luxury cities to do?

Just to say, the most majestic building in the entire Luohan Kingdom was not built by the Luohan people, but by Gondor.

Ivanka nodded, but did not leave, looked at the orcs and soldiers of Luohan who were putting on makeup, and asked, "Also, as King Luohan, there are too few soldiers in Xiyoudon? When he was attacked, he could only summon civilians..."

Hearing this, Duke put down his coffee cup and patiently explained to Ivanka Trump.

This is also related to the fact that the Luohan people are nomadic peoples. Most of the troops in Luohan Kingdom are usually herders and are only recruited during wartime. In addition to the troops gathered during wartime, several domestic military commanders only control a small team of about 120 people of troops composed of their own family members. The personnel inside mainly come from his territory, and they are fully armed knights with combat training.

For example, when Eomer was expelled by Hieuson, the knight who led the orcs that slaughtered the orcs was his guard.

There is also the Battle of the Holy Helmet Valley. The wars described by Tolkien in the original work are almost all in the Spring and Autumn style. Before the Battle of the Holy Helmet Valley, Lohan had two large-scale battles with Saruman's army, but the length of the movie is limited, so it is impossible to show them one by one. The Battle of the Holy Helmet Valley, which was almost understateed by Tolkien, became the focus of the Twin Towers Ark.

The book can briefly describe war. But movies cannot do this. Each movie must have a play at the end, otherwise what should I use to attract the audience? A plain and soothing narrative?

Therefore, Duke will film the Battle of Helmet Castle even more heroic.

After explaining it to Ivanka Trump, Duke finally said, "Yevie, you just need to go and read the original work, and all the questions will disappear."

The film will not follow the original work completely. In fact, Hollywood does not really follow the original work, but Duke still adheres to the main line and theme of the original work.

In the afternoon, the crew changed to the Deep Stream Wall, and the elves of the brigade began to appear.

Since the crew was stationed here, the models who played elves have been the focus of the entire crew, similar to the situation in Hollywood. Duke's crew is also not short of gay men and bisexuals, as well as female seniors like Hannah Selena, who like male sex. These well-behaved men are inevitably targeted by the target.

However, these people all know where Duke's bottom line tolerate is. They will not be too erratic and delay the crew's shooting progress.

Hollywood is such a circle. Even Bill Gates comes, it cannot change the personal life state in this circle. Duke has no intention of making changes. If a person wants to fight against a huge industry, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Most of the problems in this circle cannot be solved by a director making a movie.

To put it more realistically, movies are just tools for directors to reflect value. If you want to change Hollywood and even the whole world through movies, isn’t that a fool or something?

The dawn of the new millennium passed quietly, and the end of the world did not break out. Duke had no special feeling except looking at the dawn of the new millennium. He still was busy and orderly promoting his shooting work. Two thousand years have arrived, and he didn't have much time to waste.

At least he has not wasted his time before the completion of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

After nearly half a month of busyness, the scenes of Holy Helmet Valley are gradually coming to an end. The new gate made by Vita Studio for the Horn Castle was finally shipped over to film this important scene of a powerful orc breaking the city.

Compared to the city gate that never broke no matter how hard it hit the previous time, this time the city gate was a standard tofu. After Duke shouted to start, the stunt actor only hit three times, and a hole was broken in the door...

“This is a bit worse.”

After shouting for a stop, Duke sighed, but that doesn't matter. The appearance of the new and old doors is the same. He can edit the footage of the previous shot into this shot. This is just a little bit in post-production.

The powerful orc broke into the door, and Aragon led the crowd to fight back to the death, which was undoubtedly extremely inspiring on the big screen.

This was also the crew's last scene in Helmet Valley, but Duke made a lot of changes, first explaining the horses to hide in the horn fort in advance, and secondly increasing the number of cavalry.

Although this is a magical film, it is too false to have more than a dozen cavalrymen rushing out of the horn fortress, which is easier than harvesting wheat. It is a bit too false to just knock down countless powerful orcs.

Duke expanded the indoor area of ​​the Horn Fort, and the elves were added to the survivors, and the number of cavalry increased to dozens. Most of them would be killed after rushing out. The protagonists did not die, and there were reasons why these people fought to protect them.

The cavalry charge scene is relatively troublesome, but fortunately, it can be relied on the post-production gi addition. It is enough to have about twenty cavalry during the shooting. Until mid-January, the crew ended the shooting of the Battle of Helmet Valley and returned to Wellington.

Duke is also going to leave New Zealand temporarily. He is still the producer of the last two films of "The Matrix", so he must go to Sydney. (To be continued)
