Chapter 360: Chapter 363
This inexplicable sound sounded a bit like a neighing horse with a lung problem, but it was dozens of times worse than the worst horse cry Duke had ever heard, especially the frequency of the sound, as if it reached human ears. The limit of endurance made people feel nauseous and nauseous, just like a strange monster suddenly appeared on the earth, howling with his lungs.
Duke was okay, but frowned tightly. Ivanka Trump beside him couldn't bear it at all, and his hands were already tightly covering his ears.
"God," she was still complaining, "what kind of sound is this, it's crazy!"
Ivanka Trump looked at Duke, hoping to get away from this farm.
However, unlike Ivanka Trump, Duke was interested in the voice despite frowning.
Yes, this sound is extremely ugly, even Duke can't think of a suitable vocabulary to describe it, it is not like the sound that the human world should have, it seems to come from hell...
However, anything that is scarce to a certain extent will have its value.
Just when the voice sounded again, Duke had already considered its value, to be precise, its value to the crew of "The Lord of the Rings"!
"Evie, call the sound engineer≮, David Farmer." Duke immediately made a decision, "Let him come here as soon as possible."
After speaking, he stopped looking at Ivanka who took out his mobile phone, turned around and looked at the farm with interest.
This voice is simply the best choice!
The reason why Duke called the sound engineer in such a hurry was entirely because the sound was very consistent with the roar of the flying beast riding on the ring spirit.
Middle-earth is full of all kinds of strange creatures, and they make completely different sounds. This is why Duke asked Anna Prinz and David Farmer to record the sounds at the North Island Zoo. After post-processing, Many Middle-earth creatures have found their own voices.
For example, the calls of Moria orcs are actually the calls of kangaroos at night. The repetitive low echoes in the mine were made by using the sounds of walruses, tigers and horses to record echoes in the underground waterways.
And Pi Pin accidentally bumped into a skeleton, and the sound of the skull falling down was made by David Farmer touching a broken iron barrel in the underpass...
The flying beast that Ring Spirit is riding has yet to find a suitable sound source. Now hearing this voice, Duke thinks it is feasible.
He and Ivanka stood here to endure the noise that would ring from time to time. About ten minutes later, David Farmer and a production assistant from the crew hurried over in a car.
David Farmer had just jumped off the off-road vehicle, and before he had time to say hello to Duke, the unpleasant voice sounded again. In contrast to the tight frowns of Duke and Ivanka, David Law as a professional On the contrary, Merle showed an expression of listening carefully, and the joy in his expression grew stronger.
"Duke. That's it!" David Farmer rushed over in a few steps, "This is the voice we need!"
"That's why I am looking for you." Duke nodded to him, and then said, "You find the source of the sound and get it done as soon as possible."
The rest is naturally done by David Farmer and the production assistant, and Duke walks toward the way he came.
The moon climbed up into the sky, and the crew was stationed in a trailer. Except for a small number of bonfires burning, quietness gradually returned. Duke sat in his trailer, listening to Ivanka Trump talking about the evening.
"David has negotiated with the owner of the farm." Ivanka held a glass of clear water, "The other party agreed to lease the sound source to the crew for a week."
Another year's Christmas is approaching. Duke looked up at Ivanka while reviewing the shooting plan and making appropriate adjustments. She deliberately changed into the little girl's tone, "Do you know what animal sounds are?"
"What animal?" Duke was not too curious.
Ivanka did not immediately give an answer, "You can guess."
"It won't be the three-headed dog of hell?" Duke threw out an answer casually.
"If so..." Ivanka looked at Duke, "Do you still use it?"
"As long as it's good for us." Duke didn't lift his head, and continued his work. "Don't say it's a three-headed dog from hell, even if Hades comes in person, I can talk to him about cooperation."
After a sip of water, Ivanka made a playful expression, "That's a donkey."
"A donkey?" Duke raised his head.
Ivanka shrugged, "Yes, a very ordinary donkey. The owner of the farm said that this is the most unpleasant donkey he has ever seen."
With his fingers tapped on the desktop, Duke thought for a moment and said, "Evie, inform John that he will send a photographer to follow David Farmer to shoot. This is a good tidbit material."
The sales of DVDs of many movies have gradually surpassed that of video tapes. In the next ten years, CDs will become another major source of income for Hollywood movies. In particular, the luxury packages introduced are simply a wealth of money, and the director's cut version and extended version of the film And shooting and production highlights are a major factor in attracting movie fans to buy CDs.
Now that he chose "The Lord of the Rings," Duke certainly wants to maximize his profits.
Warner Bros. is responsible for the promotion of the film. Duke's most important task is to guarantee the production of the film.
Day by day, the filming of the crew is always proceeding according to the plan. Due to the adequate preparation in the early stage, although the shooting is not much faster than the plan, the overall situation is quite smooth. Occasionally there are problems, and they will work together in meetings convened by Duke Get rid of.
"Cut!"
After shouting to stop, Duke stood up and looked at the mechanically towed carriage, and said, "Ian, Ilya, you can rest now. Now change to the stunt stand-in."
Although Gandalf is not driving fast in the Shire, driving a car is also a technical task. Ian McLean can't do it at all. The crew uses a method similar to shooting a circus. In all close-up close-ups, the carriage will only show up. On the top floor, the panoramic lens of the carriage movement uses a professional groom.
It's too simple to use a double in such a scene. Just pull Gandalf's wizard hat down, and it won't wear it even if the camera is zoomed in.
The crew transitioned and returned to the place where the carriage first appeared. Elijah Wood's dwarf stand-in also played again, sitting next to Ian McLean, riding the carriage forward together, due to the special effects and lines that had just been filmed. What the lens needs to capture is only a panoramic picture.
Even so, this short shot was asked by Duke to shoot twice.
"That's it in the morning."
After the filming was completed, Duke announced that the work was temporarily over, "Continue shooting after lunch."
He left the director's monitor and just took a sip from the water glass when Ian McLean suddenly came over.
"Duke, I want to ask when the Christmas holidays start." He carried his pointed wizard hat, as if Gandalf was asking, "I haven't been home for a long time."
Elijah Wood also followed, "I also want to ask, does the crew organize a Christmas event? If not, I will find a place to go on holiday."
"There are five days off at Christmas."
Filming has been in the recent weekend. Duke and Charles Rowan have decided to put a long holiday for the crew, "Before the Shire scene ends, there will be a celebration."
Before the Christmas holidays, the crew can end all Shire's scenes.
In fact, there is only one remaining real highlight, a carnival feast, Bilbo Baggins' birthday party.
While chatting with Elijah Wood and Ian McLean, Duke walked towards the dining car. When he passed the grass not far from the bottom of the bag, he also deliberately walked in and took a look. The layout here has been Towards the end, just wait for the various hobbit foods and actors to be in place before shooting can begin.
After a brief check, Duke walked to the dining car without hurries. Numerous sun umbrellas were set up here. He found his place. Ivanka Trump, who had rushed over in advance, was brought to him. Lunch is all his favorite foods.
Sitting across from Ivanka, Duke first took a sip of the juice, took the plate and cutlery, and slowly enjoyed his lunch.
Ivanka, as in the past, only had fruit pudding and some vegetable salad for lunch. After only a few bites, she put down her knife and fork and started talking about the various calls she received in the morning, as per Duke's habits.
"Tina called, your director's box office share of $16.5 million on "Hundred Thousand Urgent" has been paid." She took out her work log and said while reading it, "The Matrix will be officially approved after the New Year. , Warner Bros. wants you to take time to take a look..."
"They still don't have enough confidence in Zach." Duke muttered.
In fact, this is a normal phenomenon. Zach Schneider has his recommendation, but he has no independent successful experience. Warner Bros. naturally wants him, a named producer, to really supervise the second two parts.
Suddenly, Duke thought of another question, "Is "Hundred Thousand Urgent" global down?
"Yes, after the film was released from Saipan, all screenings have ended."
After working together for so long, Ivanka knew what Duke cared about and immediately said, "The final global box office figure is $221.13 million."
"Not bad." Duke nodded.
Although I have imagined that movies are as big as "Independence Day" or "The Matrix", Duke's mind has remained clear enough. Such small productions and realistic themes are too difficult to do.
"There is another important call." Ivanka said again, "Mrs. Leah called. Before Christmas, she will bring Miss Johnson to visit the class. If the crew is off for Christmas, they will stay here to spend Christmas together. Festival." (To be continued.)
