In November, Los Angeles is still scorching, but snowflakes are already floating in Iceland. The whistling cold wind is mixed with fine snow particles, raging on the Vatner Glacier, making the white world even whiter. Living in Los Angeles for many years, Duke is not used to such an environment, but like all the difficulties encountered, the temperature will not be an excuse for him to stop.∈♀,

Along the temporary road, he led the crew all the way to a small ice lake in the Vatna Glacier, preparing to start filming the first scene.

The road was jointly built by the crew and the Icelandic government. The Icelandic government provided a lot of discounts to the crew. According to the agreement between the two parties, Duke will also recruit temporary staff from the local area during filming in Iceland.

Only by doing things can you gain. This is the most basic rule in the world. Duke is a person who abides by the rules of the game for most of his time.

After getting off the off-road vehicle, Duke and Anna Prinz separately dispatched the crew to carry out the basic arrangement before shooting. Although the sky was gloomy and snowflakes were floating, it was very suitable for shooting. This gloomy sky and tones were simply Batman's natural background board, and even dimming could be saved.

"John, let the No. 1 and No. 2 reach directly above the ice lake." Duke stood on a thick piece of ice a little higher and shouted to the camera crew that debugged the equipment, "No. 1 is shot at the top of the 45th angle, and No. 2 is shot at the 60-degree angle!"

He waved to the art director again, waiting for Hannah Serena to come over quickly and said, "You go and set up the evening scene, you should be able to finish this shot during the day."

Although the environment in Iceland is pretty good compared to the Himalayas, it is not suitable for long-term shooting. Duke has made a closer plan to strive to leave Iceland as soon as possible. It is already mid-November. If it is delayed for a period of time, Iceland will completely enter winter, and many equipment may have problems.

The crew was very efficient. After the equipment and on-site adjustments were completed, Liam Neeson and Christian Bale, who had put on makeup, also appeared in front of the shooting site.

Duke stood behind the director's camera. He didn't say anything in the past. This was an action scene, and the actors were dispatched by professional action director Jimmy Carter.

It was just that when Christian Bale and Liam Neeson walked onto the ice lake, Duke immediately called them back.

Duke walked to the ice lake, stretched his feet and stepped on the ice layer hard, and a slight clicking sound continued, "Is this the sound of the ice layer breaking?"

"It should be." Jimmy Carter also repeated Duke's movements. The crisp click sound was not very loud, but it could be easily caught by human ears. "It won't break, right?"

"What's going on?" Duke questioned the target of staff who are familiar with the environment provided by Iceland.

The staff member explained unhappily, "This is the characteristic of the Vatner Glacier. Many ice layers will make such sounds when they step on them, but they will never really crack. I can guarantee it!"

The liaison officer sent by the Icelandic government to the crew also came over and after inquiring about the situation, he also promised, "This ice lake often welcomes tourists. It's early winter again, so there is absolutely no problem."

Although Icelanders are confident, Duke has installed safety ropes for Liam Neeson and Christian Bale and their stunt stand-alone just in case, which can be easily erased in post-production, but if the actors have problems, the crew will have more trouble.

Each action scene is divided into countless fragments for shooting. The fighting training shooting of Liam Neeson and Christian Bale is no exception. Due to the wind and complex environment, Duke did not use live recording, which also reduces the difficulty of the two of them.

Liam Neeson and Christian Bale have just been in the ideal state of physical condition after several months of rigorous training. Although the shooting and shooting stops and constantly changing the stunt stand-in, the progress of the first scene in the shooting was quite smooth overall.

But unexpectedly, just after lunch, the wind on the glacier suddenly became stronger, but Duke insisted on filming the scene. When the crew packed up their equipment and was about to evacuate, the measured wind speed had reached 75 mph. Some crew members were even blown to the ground by the strong wind. If no one helped them, they would not be able to stand up at all.

The harsh environment prevented the crew from leaving for the time being. Under the guidance of the guide, the convoy found a place to go against the leeward and temporarily avoided the strong wind. After the wind was low, he went to another shooting location.

"Drink a cup of hot coffee?"

In the spacious trailer, Tina Fei handed over a hot drink, Duke took it, held it with both hands, feeling the palms that were blown through by the wind gradually became warm, "Thank you."

"I asked the guide." Tina Fei poured herself a glass and sat opposite Duke. "It's just a gust of wind and it won't last too long."

Duke listened to the whistling sound outside, his frowning eyebrows did not loosen. "If you come for a while every day, it would be a problem."

As the guide said, the strong wind blew less than an hour and then stopped gradually. Although the wind outside was still a bit heavy, it did not prevent the crew from rushing on the road.

After changing to the off-road vehicle, Duke led the crew to a rocky land in the glacier area.

The distance between the two sides was not too far. It took less than half a time to arrive at the destination. However, after Duke got off the bus, he saw Hannah Serena who was sighing. The sets she had set up were all blown down by the wind. Some of the lighter sets were still unknown where they were blown by the strong wind.

After walking around the rocky ground at the edge of the ice, Duke said to Serena, "Hanna, no need for the set. The crew will take a break for the time being. We will shoot after dark."

When Hollywood crews shoot videos, many of them seem to be night scenes, but in fact they are replaced with night backgrounds after the daytime shooting. The night shooting is often more complicated from light to environment.

As the sky became dim and the temperature continued to drop. In addition to setting up cameras and debugging the lights, Duke did not intend to make more arrangements for this temporary set. For the sake of the next shooting, he drove everyone in a few large trailers to keep warm, and then went out to shoot after the sky was completely dark.

“Feeling with Duke in filming often represents an incredible journey.”

In a large rest trailer, the crew members gathered together to drink hot coffee. Liam Neeson said to his partner, "Cristian, can you imagine that I was over fifty years old and my career was taking a big step forward."

"That's because you worked hard enough," Duke continued.

Christian Bale smiled at everyone, but said nothing.

According to Duke's observation, in most cases, this is a relatively silent actor, and he doesn't like to communicate with others. He has no doubt about his professional attitude. However, after joining the crew, the two people discussed the film and roles many times.

After resting for half an hour, the sky outside was completely dark, Duke stood up and clapped his palms, "Business is ongoing!"

There is only one scene here, a conversation between Henry Ducad and Bruce Wayne about anger, determination and revenge.

A bonfire was lit, and the flames were roaring in the wind, and the flames shone on the faces of Liam Neeson and Christian Bale.

Duke stood behind the main camera and observed each movement and expression of the two actors. Unlike his previous commercial films, these trilogies have higher requirements for actors' performances.

This is also an important reason why he put the time left for Bell to consider for the last day. Compared with another favorite actor Ben Affleck, Christian Bale's acting skills are obviously better than that.

"Tightly rub your chest and your hands can help you keep warm." Liam Neeson added dry wood to the fire and said to Christian Bale, who was curled up in a ball. "You are stronger than your father."

Christian Bale looked up and looked at each other, "You don't know my father."

"But I understand the anger in your heart!"

This is exactly the mental state of Bruce Wayne after his parents were killed. "Your anger makes you forget the pain for the time being until you can't bear the longing for your loved ones. One day you will hope that they don't exist so that your pain will disappear."

Christian Bale showed a slightly puzzled look, and Liam Neeson said calmly, "I haven't lived in the mountains all the time. I have a wife, my favorite of my life. She was killed. Like you, I learned not to indulge bad people and never show mercy to them. Anger gives you a lot of strength. If you can't learn to control it, it will ruin you, and anger almost ruined my life."

"How do you calm your anger?" asked Christian Bale.

"revenge!"

“This is not useful to me.”

"Why? Why don't you avenge your parents, Bruce?"

These two sentences show the differences in the concepts of Bruce Winn and Henry Ducad or the Shadow Warriors Alliance, and they will inevitably part ways in the end.

“ut!”

Duke shouted and waved, letting the two actors come over, and he said to Neeson first, "Liam, your expression is a bit over. You are not a bad person. You are just sticking to the philosophy of you and the Shadow Warrior League. You think that sin must be eliminated. The new order is rebuilt on the ruins. In Dukad's heart, this is a very correct view and I believe it."

Then he turned to Bale, "Christian, where is your acting? Where has your acting gone? All I saw in the camera was a dull blues? Wayne, I can't see the anger and fear hidden deep in my heart from your performance!"

"Sorry," Christian Bale said sincerely, "I haven't adjusted my condition."
