Chapter 1009: Promise
Three days later, "Wolf's Heart" officially started filming.
Roland had expected this to be a very novel experience, but he didn't expect it to be so interesting.
On the first day of the project's launch, it attracted the attention of all the members of the Witch League.
Even if they haven't actually seen the movie, it doesn't prevent them from imagining the excitement of the play based on the live rehearsals of the participants, not to mention that some of the actors are still ancient witches, and the sound description of the people who have experienced it has raised the attraction of the magic shadow to the peak.
If you do a survey of "where do you want to go the most" among the witches, the answer will be the dream world.
They can't go to the dream world, but now they have the opportunity to see the drama in that world, and this temptation is naturally not trivial.
The next day, the phenomenon of eating, drinking, and playing cards from morning to night suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a strong call from everyone to join the filming, even Tilly.
If memory serves, this is the first time she's offered to ask.
As a result, the crew had to change several groups of actors on the fly, as long as it didn't affect the daily production, Roland was happy to see them join, and the participation of more witches also made the trend of the show more and more strange.
For example, the photographer was replaced by lightning from Amy at the beginning.
In order to express the intimacy of the sisters and the happy life of childhood, the little girl slowly descends from the cold wind and howls of Neverwinter to see the snow-capped city outline, and then she flies all the way through the streets and pedestrians, soars into the ice-edged castle window, and falls in front of the roaring fireplace—the contrast between the huge city and the cramped bedroom, the snow and the flames, the hurried passers-by and the laughing sisters, the three contrasts instantly outline the intimate inner world of the two.
Of course, Roland took a lot of words, and finally even used his clumsy painting skills to make everyone understand the meaning of "lens".
At the same time, he noticed that when he used pen and paper to explain the basic shooting techniques, May's eyes flashed with an indescribable light.
It is undeniable that Westland Star does have a talent in drama that ordinary people do not possess - she seems to be able to construct a complete picture in her mind, and every person and object on the stage can become the object of her use. This advantage is not obvious in traditional theater performed in a fixed area, but when it is changed to the language of the camera, her talent seems to have found an excellent outlet.
And another recognized genius, Erin, the second princess actor, obviously does not have such talent.
After that, switching perspectives became the norm.
From simple imitation to inference, the period is only a few days.
Even some of the techniques have a bit of a modern movie flavor.
When the prince debuted, she took a partial and holistic approach – first with jeweled boots, then with a golden cloak and brocade, and finally with a smiling handsome face, and then extended to the following procession of lavish attendants, vividly reflecting her wealth and compelling characteristics. Incidentally, the prince is played by her husband, Carter Lannis. Although Roland didn't want to admit it, the carefully groomed chief knight was indeed the face of Neverwinter now.
The use of lenses is only one aspect of this.
What's even more amazing is the appearance of special effects.
Almost every day, new ideas pop up and extend incredible visuals from top of that.
For example, from the hand of Zoroa, it is enough to fake the real "three-dimensional background". ”
For example, the lightning effect created by Sharon.
There is also the fading fog of the nightingale, the magical servant of Moriel, and the phantom clone of the Phantom......
Maisie is a person who plays two roles, is a good friend of his sister in the form of a pigeon, and becomes the right-hand man of the devil lord after turning into a dinosaur, and fights with the wolf girl in the snowfield.
Of course, these special effects are also inseparable from the support of lotus and honey.
By the halfway point of filming, there were more than 300 people involved...... Not only the League of Witches, but also the Maleficent and Tachira remnants are of great interest, and this is more of a carnival than a play.
Standing on the city wall, Roland looked at the lively crowd not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He didn't expect that it would be a film shoot that broke down the barriers between the three parties and brought them closer to each other - if these groups were faintly separated from each other until now, like oil and water, which slowly separated when they come together, then at this moment, he can no longer see a clear difference.
No matter what kind of ability you have, everyone uses it for the same thing. There is no cold line between strong and weak, and there is no distinction between regions and factions, as long as you use your brain, you will definitely find your own place in it, and this feeling invisibly dilutes the differences between people, and also makes the creative work a bond between people.
For him, it was a real bonus.
Roland let out a white breath and turned to look at Anna, "Aren't you going to relax with them?"
At first, Nightingale would only shoot when she needed her abilities, but by the time, she had completely enjoyed it.
"I'm going to keep busy later," Anna said, holding out her hand to show the oil stain on the lower cuff, "The dimensions of the internal combustion engine parts on the drawings are not fully used as a reference, and they still need to be adjusted." And ......"
"Huh?" Roland blinked.
"Staying with you is the best relaxation. She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.
The warm flames spread out in all directions, dispelling the chill in the wind and snow.
Roland also kept his mouth shut, enjoying the peace of the busy time with her.
After a long while, Anna whispered, "The future you promised has been fulfilled. ”
He followed the other person's gaze - it was not only the witches from all over the world who blended in with the play, but also the ordinary people in the crew. Maye is gesturing as if to teach Lorga and Carter how to play a rival scene, Erin crouches to the side, happily brushing Maisie's hair, while the latter half-squints and looks like she is enjoying it, and the newcomers to the troupe are arranging the props for the next scene with the Witch of Divine Punishment. Compared to a factory floor with a clear division of labor, getting along here is undoubtedly more natural and harmonious.
It has nothing to do with ability, in the snow that envelops everything, they have all become the same kind of people.
"No, there is still a part that has not been realized. Roland shook his head.
"Do you mean the other territories of Greykeep? those cities shouldn't be too far away. ”
"I'm not talking about the relationship between ordinary people and witches, but about another promise. He replied with a smile, "Originally, I thought that I should be fully prepared and follow the process step by step to achieve it." But now I find that in fact, it doesn't matter whether there are those or not, the key is to do it, and as for what kind of consequences will occur, there is always a solution. Just like this movie, it is precisely because there are no rules that there are more surprises. ”
"So this promise is ......" Anna raised her head and blinked her lake-blue eyes, and on the surface of the lake, he seemed to be able to see the reflected snowflakes.
"Reign as king," Roland paused, and then said word for word, "and then take you as his wife." ”
