Rebirth In Hollywood

Tunisia is located at the northernmost tip of the African continent. It is one of the few countries in the world where beaches, deserts, mountains, forests and ancient civilizations are concentrated. Inexpensive goods and hospitable customs.

Since entering April, the ancient city of Carthage in Tunisia has become more lively than ever, and the crew of "Star Wars Episode 3" came here to film.

Although it was necessary to strictly abide by the management regulations of the ancient city of Carthage, after communication, the crew built a large-scale blue screen in a spacious place, and the shooting also attracted a large number of tourists to stop and watch.

Ryan was unusually unfamiliar with the footage shot here. He was sure that none of the films and extended DVDs in his previous life had been released. It should be a plot that was completely abandoned by George Lucas in post-production.

However, he still completes his work meticulously, even if most of the time, the master Yoda is either air or just a small cylinder wrapped in a blue screen.

"I'm fed up with the hypocrisy of the Jedi Knights, you kidnap the entire Republic to your will under the pretext of selflessness and justice."

With the ancient city of Carthage as the background, Ryan, dressed as Anakin Skywalker, held a blue chrome-plated rubber stick and pointed at Master Yoda, who did not actually exist under the blue curtain on the opposite side, "You can't have love, and you can't have family. You cannot have private property, you cannot have family affection, you cannot even have your own thoughts, you can only care for the world with selfless compassion..."

Anakin seemed paranoid, but what he said was sensible.

"Skywalker, give up these dangerous thoughts and don't fall into the dark."

In order to increase the feeling of the play, the actor who dubbed Master Yoda read the lines next to him, "These will only turn into the force in the end."

"The Force? What a high-sounding reason." Ryan's expression was filled with indescribable sarcasm, "If the beautiful feelings of human beings are wiped out and contained one by one. Where does selflessness and compassion come from? This so-called Selflessness can only come from a condescending sense of superiority and a paranoid sense of justice, right?"

"This... is the Jedi Knight!" His voice was full of hatred, "What is the difference between the Jedi Knight's Force and the Dark Force?"

"Anakin..."

"Let's compete in swordsmanship!"

Interrupting the unfinished words, Ryan waved the chrome-plated rubber stick and made several beautiful moves one after another, strictly following the pre-designed routines.

Fight with the air in front of him.

Filming came to an end temporarily, and Ryan threw the rubber stick to the crew assistant, walked into the trailer on the side, changed into the black Jedi uniform that was almost soaked in sweat, and simply washed it.

After a bang on the door. Natalie walked in with their lunch, Ryan put on loose casual clothes and turned on the air conditioner.

"What's for lunch?" He looked at Natalie, who was sitting at the table, playing with cutlery.

"Beef stew with potatoes, bibimbap, Madrid ham soup." She packed the table and went to make another pot of coffee. "You've been shooting for a whole morning, you must be hungry? Hurry up and eat."

"You're still comfortable. It's just two scenes and it's done."

Sitting across from her, Ryan took the stainless steel cutlery, and Natalie swallowed the beef in her mouth and muttered. "I was a complete vase in Revenge of the Sith."

"I'll be going back in a few days," she added.

"Why so fast?" Ryan picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"Don't you forget?" Natalie complained, "I'm graduating soon, and a lot of things need to go back to Harvard."

"of course not."

The two chatted while eating. Natalie has no plans to continue her studies. After returning to New York to deal with some personal affairs, she will go directly to Los Angeles to settle down. She made an appointment with Scarlett Johansson to be a neighbor.

The weather here is relatively hot, and the filming in the afternoon will not continue until late. After the meal, Ryan and Natalie sat together and chatted about the scene filmed in Tunisia.

The script for this play was handed over to the actors after they arrived in Tunisia, apparently George Lucas joined it newly.

"It feels like George wants to pass the words of Anakin and Master Yoda..." Natalie held a coffee cup and talked about her thoughts, "Express more things."

"It's normal."

Sitting next to her, Ryan nodded in agreement, "This may be the last movie George directed, and he definitely wants to make Star Wars a perfect ending."

"He seems to think more about the Jedi."

After speaking, Natalie looked at Ryan and suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

"which aspect?"

Ryan took Natalie's coffee cup, walked over to the table, refilled it, and when he came back, Natalie said, "Like Anakin, and the Jedi, Master Yoda, and Master Windu. , Didn't the media keep saying that George was alluding to the politics of modern society, what do you think?"

"Do you really want to hear it?" Ryan suddenly laughed, and Natalie couldn't help rolling her eyes, knowing that this guy was going to say something crooked again, but nodded with interest, "I want to hear it."

"History has proved one thing. Organizations under the banner of annihilating human feelings and racism are all cults."

This is just a private discussion between the two, and Natalie won't spread it out. Ryan said it without any scruples, "Think about it, Obi-Wan has said several times that Qui-Gon Jin is underappreciated, and Count Dooku leaves directly, even Even Master Yoda has complained about the impureness of the Jedi, this is supposed to be an ascetic group, but it has to join the WTO and participate in politics, and once wanted to control the parliament, what kind of feeling does this organization give people?"

"Hypocritical." Although Natalie replied, there was obvious disapproval on her face.

Ryan didn't bother to convince the girl, and continued on his own, "The attachment to relatives and the yearning for love are the most beautiful feelings of human beings. From this point of view, Anakin's pursuit is not wrong, but Jedi is not wrong. What did the meeting do when faced with the distress he was talking about?"

Natalie sipped her coffee slowly and gestured to continue.

"Just saying some ethereal clichés." Ryan, Anakin's actor, seems to be very touched. "Master Windu is like a Soviet bureaucrat who pays attention to class struggle, and Master Yoda... don't say anything."

"Okay then..." Natalie almost didn't drop the coffee cup. She pursed her lips and asked deliberately, "Well... If it were you, Ryan, how would you like to design these plots?"

"Anakin quit the Jedi Knights to form a new organization with Padmé Amidala."

Now what he is talking about is purely a joke between lovers, almost nonsense, "Didn't Padmé have a maid? Find the most beautiful one, the one played by Sophia, and go seduce the old Obi-Wan. Virgin, and then try to win Count Dooku, don't they have Jedi Knights, let's create a Holy Knights or something, form a triangular check and balance with the Jedi Knights and the Sith Emperor, and compromise with each other. It's a true balance of the Force."

"Uh..." Natalie deliberately looked over, and Ryan continued to joke, "In this way, the Sith Emperor will not be restricted from becoming a sinister Nazi, and the Jedi Knight will not become a totalitarian and misguided Soviet Union and be destroyed. If it is gone, Anakin has the power and power to take his mother to live with him, his stepfather and younger brother and his wife will not die tragically, and at the same time, his love with Padmé's siblings will be complete, and the children will grow up healthy and will not become premature babies."

Speaking of which, he finally came up with a concluding sentence, "Evil sect harms people!"

"Dear, don't incorporate some of your practices in reality." Natalie tilted her head, looked at him for a while, and said, "If it was shot according to what you said, the box office of the movie must be very bleak."

"Wow, is Nate also thinking about the box office of the movie?" Ryan turned around and leaned in front of her face, Natalie bumped his forehead on purpose, "End the joke, I'm going back Take a nap."

Regardless of what George Lucas really thinks, every Star Wars fan will always have his own unique opinion about the Jedi Knights and the Skywalker family, and Ryan's joke is just one of them.

The crew filmed in Tunisia, in addition to the newly added Ryan and Master Yoda's head-on confrontation, there were also several battle scenes and the plot of the Jedi Knight being sneaked by the clone soldiers. In general, the filming time spent here is not much. will be too long.

Ryan spent most of the filming standing in front of the blue screen, battling the air against Jedi swordsmanship.

In today's big Hollywood productions, whether it's epic or sci-fi, more and more shots need to be completed in front of the curtain, and actors performing against the air is just the most basic quality.

However, from these newly designed plots, Ryan can vaguely see George Lucas's ideological conflict. If nothing else, these plots may not be used a lot.

"In the prequel trilogy, it's not just Anakin Skywalker who needs to be transformed." George Lucas once said in a private discussion, "There are also Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan and Master Yoda alike. Think about the dogmas and ways of doing things in the past Jedi Knights, and then there will be more human Luke and Leah."

Ryan will not comment too much on this. This is the work of George Lucas. Even his teacher, who is touted to the sky, may not have a better understanding of this series than him.

After staying in Tunisia for half a month, the crew ended the related scenes and moved to London, while Natalie ended all the scenes of Padmé Amidala in the film and returned directly to North America. (To be continued..) ()
