Rebirth In Hollywood

Australia in February came to the end of the summer, the Fox studio in the suburbs of Sydney poured into hundreds of staff, plus extras coming in and out, making this Hollywood's overseas filming powerhouse once again bustling. scene.

The studio's largest soundstages all fell into the hands of Lucasfilm, either set up as a blue-screen surround, or set and models built into the interior of the starship.

"cut!"

In the studio full of blue screens, George Lucas shouted to stop, he stood up from the director's chair and walked a few steps to the platform where the model spaceship was placed, "Ryan, your emotions are not in place. , and... Now Anakin has turned completely to the darkness, a different look, okay?"

Ewan McGregor turned his head and laughed, Natalie rolled her eyes at the bearded director, and Ryan took off his sweat-soaked black leather gloves and said, "Okay, no problem."

In the last scene, he was still in a relationship with Padmé Amidala.

George Lucas walked back, and Natalie, who had a big belly, leaned over and whispered, "Is this difficult? It's enough to release the nature in your heart."

"Nature?" Ryan almost twisted his nose in anger.

"Don't think I can't see the other side of you."

Seeing the assistant director come over, Natalie muttered and returned to her position.

"The thirteenth scene, the twenty-second act, start now!"

After the assistant director's voice, the crew was back up and running again.

"I can not believe it……"

Natalie stepped back again and again, her face full of sadness and disbelief, "Obi-Wan is right, you've changed."

"I don't want to hear about Obi-Wan anymore." Ryan's head turned slightly, his eyes sharpened instantly. There are also obvious negative emotions in it, "The Jedi Knight betrayed me, but you... can't betray me!"

"I...you're not the Anakin I knew." Natalie's voice was filled with tears, and her heavy eyebrows fell. "You broke my heart. I can't keep up with the path you've taken..."

"Because of Obi-Wan?" Sharp and hateful eyes leaped over Natalie and landed on Ewan McGregor, who was also dressed as a Jedi Knight.

"Because of what you've done. Because of your plan!" She tried to make a last effort. "Stop it, Anakin, it's too late to look back. I love you!"

"fraud!"

The stern eyes swept over Natalie, "You brought him to kill me?"

"Do not……"

The hand with the black leather glove stretched out to Natalie, and the Long Island girl covered her neck in cooperation...

As long as the state is adjusted, such movies and characters are not difficult for Ryan, Natalie and Ewan McGregor, and the remaining few scenes in this scene are even ng. Nor will it exceed single digits.

Besides, George Lucas's ability to design his lines, as if criticized by the media, is really beyond compliment.

By comparison. The fight between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan is a little more difficult.

However, as long as it is not a frontal shot, George Lucas has all been replaced by stunt doubles, and the two of Ryan are more about putting on some fancy and beautiful movements.

As for the volcanoes and lava, it depends on the special effects technology in the later stage.

As early as 2002, George Lucas led the filming team under his command and ventured to Italy to film a volcanic eruption in Sicily.

As for lava, Ryan also learned a little bit. The special effects team made a miniature model of lava river thirty feet long and four feet wide, and successfully used milkshake and paint to make magma enough to be fake.

In the words of George Lucas, 'This is a split between Obi-Wan and Anakin, and the dangerous setting and imposing voice acting are perfect for that. ’

Of course, this is what Natalie said. Although he is recognized as the worst director among the four major directors, he is much better than a rookie like Natalie. When shooting, as long as the Long Island girl asked, He basically gives some enlightening answers.

After changing out of the clumsy Jedi knight costume, Ryan simply took care of his messy curly hair, walked to the opposite side and knocked on Natalie's dressing room. The Long Island girl also removed her maternity clothes and long hair. Wig, is sitting in front of the mirror removing makeup.

After seeing Ryan, her assistant immediately went out and closed the door.

Ryan sat in the chair next to Natalie, watching her take off her makeup, and Padmé Amidala was back to Natalie Portman.

"The dark side of your heart is completely released?" Natalie glanced sideways and said in a mocking tone, "You made me feel like a devil from hell when you were shooting just now."

"My dear, it's not fair to say that." Ryan spread his hands and defended, "That's Anakin Skywalker, a character in the movie, and it has nothing to do with me at all."

Natalie turned around and tilted her head to look here, and Ryan couldn't help pinching her nose.

"If it's for you, I'd rather fall into the darkness." He said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"The dark side of you is heavy enough." Natalie turned back, of course she knew that Ryan was talking about the plural.

After leaving the set, Ryan drove Natalie back to downtown Sydney. The two had been to the city too many times, and they were not interested in visiting, so they returned directly to the hotel where the crew stayed.

"Go back to your room, or go to the restaurant?"

After leaving the underground parking lot and entering the elevator, Ryan asked Natalie.

"Go back to the room and order a meal." Natalie pressed the button on the top floor.

There were also several bodyguards who entered the elevator together. The alarm of terrorism was far from being lifted. Ryan went in and out of places not only with his own large bodyguards, but also a small team of detectives always following the periphery.

Not to mention the responsibilities and rights of those messy taxpayers, if he is really in danger, even if he is not injured, the Washington authorities will probably have to bear huge pressure.

The current Bush administration is planning a new war in Iraq and cannot afford any surprises at this time.

As in previous lives, the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction incident broke out in the Middle East, and the federal government was sharpening its knife and ready to strike.

Although the voice of anti-war in the United States is very loud, the mainstream class is happy to see it. When Ryan met a reporter some time ago, he was also asked this question. If he objected, he just murmured a few words and dismissed the other party.

While many Hollywood stars—such as Angelina Jolie and others—have been speaking out against the media against the war, Ryan has selectively pushed the matter aside.

As for whether the Iraqi people will suffer? What's the matter with him? They are neither past life compatriots nor present life friends.

Ryan does not have great universal feelings, to rescue a group of people who have neither substantive relationship nor interests involved.

How much practical benefit he can get by taking this opportunity is what he considers the most.

Even when sitting in the living room of the suite after eating, Ryan was still thinking about these issues. It has to be said that people's thoughts always change with the change of status.

"What are you thinking?"

Natalie, who was sitting next to the newspaper, suddenly asked curiously, "You were thinking when you were in the elevator."

"It's nothing." Ryan took her shoulders with a smile.

"How do you think about winning another Oscar?" Natalie squinted at him, the newspaper in her hand was the entertainment section.

Ryan leaned over and glanced, "Oscar nominated?"

"That's right." Natalie glanced at the date in the newspaper. "This is today's newspaper. Didn't you get the news?"

"I've been busy filming all day, so I don't have time to pay attention."

With one hand in front of Natalie, Ryan stretched out two fingers, "Give me the newspaper or...you read it to me."

"Then sit tight and don't make a mess." Natalie's eyes fell on Ryan's other hand, until it slipped from her chest to her waist before she said, "Chicago has the most nominations. , Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, a total of thirteen nominations."

"And then there's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, which has seven nominations for best editing, best director, best picture, best art direction, and best visual effects."

"And Gangs of New York, your friend Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor... Well, Sophia's cousin Nicholas..."

"Nate!" Ryan looked at her, Natalie curled her lips, and finally turned to the topic, "'The Moment' won nine nominations, including Best Actress."

"That's good." Ryan nodded and gently kissed the girl's white forehead, "Thank you for your newspaper reading time, Nate."

"Maybe because of my newspaper reading time, someone will lose the best actress." Natalie put down the newspaper, stood up and walked towards the bedroom, "I have to shoot tomorrow, I'm going to rest."

Filming continues, George Lucas, like Steven Spielberg, is a well-known fast shooter in the Hollywood director industry, and by March, Revenge of the Sith was more than a third of the way through , Most of the completed are some more difficult fighting scenes.

In a hurry, unless absolutely necessary, most of the fights were done by stunt doubles for Ryan and Ewan McGregor.

This is the end of reincarnation in Lucas's mouth, so attractive, not only media attention, but also an endless stream of people visiting the studio.

For a month, Francis Coppola, Robert De Niro, Elijah Wood, Dean Devlin and Liam Neeson came to visit the class one after another, and some of them made cameos in the film for free background painting. ()
