章節 362: Chapter 365
"I stood there, facing three trolls, there was nothing I could do."
In the background of the noisy banquet, Bilbo Baggins was facing the camera and told a few children about the adventures of the Hobbit, "They argued over how to eat us, swallow us in one bite, or take turns to crush us. Pressed into meat sauce..."
In line with the language, the old hobbit also showed a corresponding expression, "They spent too much time on this issue, until the first ray of sunlight in the morning climbed up the treetops...Bang, they all became stone!"
"Cut!" Duke called to a halt. "This one is over."
Ivanka Trump immediately came over and offered a cup of iced coffee. Duke took a sip and ignored the crew who was busy setting up the next scene. He asked, "Evie, about "The Hobbit" How are the copyright negotiations for "Ren" going on."
"Still talking." Ivanka Trump said, "The news from Nancy and Tina, the price has not been negotiated, it may be delayed for a while."
At the time when he bought the film rights of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Duke did not get the copyright of "The Hobbit". It was not that Duke did not want to buy it, but that the copyright holder did not want to sell all the chips in his hand. Only then has the current negotiation.
∷↑, Duke thought for a while, "As long as the other party's request is not too excessive, we can raise the bottom line appropriately."
Just as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has caused countless troubles, the copyright of "The Hobbit" is also constantly disputed. Duke's idea is to buy out the "Hobbit" again, just like buying out the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" "Copyright.
He didn't want to be like the later Weinstein Brothers Pictures and Warner Bros., who continued to wrestle and even make a lot of noise about this matter.
Next, Duke sent John Schwarzman and several other photography assistants out to capture the scene of the banquet. Of course, they will not waste time on extras who are purely soy sauce. The camera has been shooting around several protagonists.
In addition, there are almost all Hobbits here. In order to highlight the difference between Gandalf and them, Duke used an enlarged version of the actor model to shoot. These are all distant shots. Coupled with the touch-ups in post-production, there is no need to wear it.
Because Duke did not plan to have too slow a film in the future, and there would not be too many shots at the banquet, he announced the end of the work after nearly three hours of shooting.
Of course, the shooting is not completely over, there is a firework show.
Although most of Gandalf's fireworks are realized by cgi in post-production, Duke still uses traditional methods to shoot those that are not too complicated.
The crew ordered a large number of fireworks from a company in the UK. This company has a long history of producing fireworks. It can be traced back to the fireworks show held for Elizabeth I in the 16th century. It is the world's top fireworks producer.
Six cameras were scattered to different angles, ready to capture the fireworks in the sky. After Duke got feedback from all the departments in place, he let the scene call the start.
"The one hundred and seventy-eighth act, the twenty-third act, now begins!"
With the sound of the loudspeaker falling. Several flares rose into the sky, and Middle-earth Gandalf fireworks rushed into the sky.
"It's so beautiful."
Behind Duke. Scarlett Johansson just removed the female Hobbit costume, wearing a hot pants and t-shirt, standing next to Mrs. Leah, "I think of the Independence Day fireworks when I was a child."
Right in front of her, the beautiful fireworks fell from the sky like shooting stars, sometimes like fairies spreading flowers. Sometimes like flames fighting for the front, sometimes like butterflies flying, sometimes like budding...
The fireworks all over the sky are like blossoming flowers, in different poses and colors.
This is the last scene filmed by the crew in the Shire. It is also a carnival before Christmas.
As Duke called to stop, everyone in the crew cheered in unison, more fireworks flew into the sky, a fast food truck drove to Hobbiton, countless fine wines and dishes, chefs and waiters hired The students are usually sent up with flowing water to replace those very beautiful but unimportant hobbit foods carved out of polystyrene.
"Hi, Duke."
Scarlett came from behind and took Duke's arm, "Why don't you go there? I still want to have a drink with you."
She still remembered drinking beer with Duke when she was a child. It was one of the best memories of childhood.
"Go over, don't drink too much." Duke broke free from her hand and continued to busy with his work. "I also want to look at the footage shot tonight."
"Then I won't go either."
Looking at a lively party, Scarlett held back her want to move forward, "I am here to accompany you."
Duke glanced at her. The divorce of her parents directly led to a lot of changes in her personality. Apart from her rebellious rebellion for a period of time, she obviously began to mature.
"Where's mom?" he asked.
"Godmother doesn't like this kind of occasion."
This is completely different from a social party. Scarlett pointed to the sky, "After the fireworks are finished, the godmother will go back first."
After speaking, she stood quietly next to Duke, watching him busy, no longer interjecting indiscriminately.
In fact, being able to reach the heights it used to show that Scarlett Johansson is not stupid at all. She knows very well that after the two got along fairly well at first, Duke took the initiative to extend the distance with her. I'm afraid to talk. Is an important reason.
Although the party fascinated her, Scarlett stood here until Duke finished the work at hand.
"Evie..." Duke turned off the monitor, "Let the security send the film to the insurance car."
The film that has been shot has always been the focus of the crew, especially Duke had an unforgettable experience.
Seeing Duke finished his work, Scarlett gave up playing the game with her fingers, looked up at the starry sky, and asked, "Where shall we go for Christmas?"
Christmas is coming soon, and this is also the last Christmas before the dawn of the new millennium.
"I rented an island near the Great Barrier Reef." Dukla came over to a chair and pointed, "Sit down, Scarlett."
"Island?" Scarlett turned the chair in one direction, leaned on the back of the chair in a straddle position, looked at Duke, and whispered, "There are a lot of comments about the end of the world now in New York, I think we should Find a high point, such as the highest plateau in the world, in case of a tsunami..."
"Scarlett!" Duke glared at her.
"I'm just talking casually." Scarlett shrank her neck and whispered in a low voice, "Anyway, I'm not afraid of you and godmother with me."
The carnival party of the crew will not end until early in the morning. After Ivanka Trump returned, Duke looked at the time, "If you don't go to the party, let's go back."
"Okay."
Scarlett stood up, took Duke's arm, and followed him to the parking lot.
With the end of the Shire scene, the crew also returned to the Wellington set. Then, during the five-day Christmas holiday, the lively set of the past became quiet. Not only did a large number of cast and crew leave Wellington, but also A large number of entertainment reporters who have been stationed here for a long time also left.
Some others chased Duke to the airport, but when they saw them directly into the private tarmac, they gave up their intention to chase them.
The destination of the plane is Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Duke intends to go to the Gold Coast first. From there, take a chartered private yacht to the Great Barrier Reef and spend the last Christmas of the millennium on a quiet private island. .
"Mom, you should also consider buying an airplane."
Unfastening the seat belt on the seat, Duke asked the flight attendant to bring a drink and said, "You often travel between North America and Europe, which is more convenient."
Mrs. Leah picked up the water glass and took a sip, "I have placed an order, and it is estimated that the plane will be available in March next year."
After talking to his mother about the plane, Duke turned his head and looked at his side. Scarlett Johansson was holding a handheld and was pressing it with interest.
"What game did you play?" Duke tilted his head curiously.
Scarlett turned the screen slightly to his side, "A game about surfing."
"surf?"
Hearing Duke's question, Scarlett shrugged playfully, "I like this sport very much. I went to Hawaii to practice for a while in the summer."
"Then you can have a good time this time." Duke recalled the information about the island that Ivanka Trump was talking about. "There is a flat sea area over there, which is very suitable for diving or surfing."
"We can be together." Scarlett saw that Duke seemed to hesitate and asked, "You won't?"
"No." Duke shook his head.
"I can teach you." She gave a sly smile.
Duke continued to shake his head, "I doubt your level very much."
According to his understanding, Scarlett Johansson is at best a beginner.
When the plane arrived in Brisbane, Duke and the others had just turned on their phones, and Mrs. Leah received a call. After saying a few words, her brows frowned quickly.
She hung up the phone and sighed, "Duke, I'm sorry, I can't spend Christmas with you."
"Did you post something, mom?" Duke asked quickly.
"There is something wrong with the cooperation between Santa Fea and Chanel." Mrs. Leah turned to the assistant and ordered a few words, and then said to Duke, "I'm going to Paris to deal with the contract with Chanel."
She looked at Duke and then at Scarlett. "Duke, Scarlett will take care of you temporarily. I will use the plane first. I will fly directly to Paris."
"Why don't I go with you." Duke asked actively.
Mrs. Leah shook her head, "You don't know the European fashion industry, nor have you dealt with them, and you can't help you if you go. I can handle this little thing. You and Scarlett will continue to go on vacation."
She didn't give Duke another chance to speak, turned and walked towards the plane.
"Now there are only two of us left." Scarlett looked at the sky and said. (To be continued
