"Legras, help everyone up, we have to continue." Aragorn said coldly.
"Okay, will it be okay to keep them quiet?!" Boromir cried out in grief and indignation.
"No, the half-orcs will swarm as soon as it gets dark, and we must rush to the Lothlorien Forest!" Aragorn insisted, while Legolas calmly consoled: "At least let everyone rest for a few minutes, just a few minutes. minute."
At this moment, there was a discordant voice: "Crack!"
The scene of grief and anger just now stopped in an instant, and Ilya and the other hobbits who were sitting on the ground in despair also quickly got up, and then everyone looked at Peter Jackson sitting in the director's chair.
"It shouldn't be my problem again, right?" Angela couldn't help frowning and said.
She is dressed in gray-green clothes, has pointed ears, and her face is angular because it is stained with silicone. Her hair is all combed behind her head and tied in a few small braids, blowing in the wind. She looks beautiful and beautiful. handsome.
"Don't be so nervous, you're doing well, I just thought of some good ideas, and I'll adjust them right away, it won't delay you." Peter waved lazily, and the last sentence made his tone even longer. .
Angela rolled her eyes and could only spread her hands. Soon Peter finished discussing with the assistant director and assistant, and then he walked over a few steps: "Okay, let's do this, cancel Legolas' line, and Aragorn's answer is also not needed, and the line should be 'Sam'. , get up' this sentence, understand?"
"Wait, this is the first time you cancel my lines, Peter?" Angela couldn't help asking.
"The plot needs it," Peter explained solemnly. "Besides, it can better highlight your acting skills, express your emotions with body language and eyes, and the elves are originally very calm characters, aren't they?"
"Great rhetoric, you know, Peter, you should run for Congress." Angela gritted her teeth.
"Thank you, if there is a chance in the future, I will." Peter nodded with a smile, and then waved his hand with a straight face: "Okay, adjust your emotions, let's do it again!"
Damn, this is a public revenge! Angela thought angrily, but fortunately, Vigo and Ilya came forward and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, handsome... Well, although it's weird to describe a girl like this, there seems to be no better word. , In short, Angela smiled at them, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, okay, then let you see how good I am!
After the filming started again, this group of shots passed in one shot. It had already been rehearsed and NG a few times for various reasons. Basically, everyone had experience. It's just that Peter, who was in charge of the camera, forgot to stop and was reminded by Alex before he announced that the camera was over.
"I thought you fell asleep." Angela deliberately walked past him when she left and stabbed him a little.
"I thought you were asleep!" Peter said in the same tone as she watched her leaving, and then snorted heavily: "I don't understand why she can challenge my authority so struttingly! "
"Don't you think both of you are childish, Peter?" Alex suppressed a laugh. "Or are imaginative people more or less childish?"
"Don't compare me to that woman!" Peter warned. "At least I'm not going to act."
"Okay, so what do you want to say?" Alex smiled and shrugged. "About that question of challenging authority before? I don't think you don't know why."
"That's exactly what I'm going to say, in fact I don't even want to cooperate any more for a day!" Peter complained angrily.
Alex raised his eyebrows: "Really? Are you sure?"
"Well..." Peter rubbed his bushy beard, and suddenly changed the subject: "I need Legolas to have more body language, preferably more vigorous and sensitive than I thought, I think... she can do it arrive."
At this time, Angela has come to her own trailer. Because all the treatments have been replaced with the privilege of leaving the crew at any time, she can only share a trailer with several other female characters. Angela doesn't care about this, on the contrary, she still likes it a little. Among the main female characters, only Liv is on the crew now, and they just have a few words when applying or removing makeup.
"Why do you have to find something to block it? I am a woman and you are also a woman. My makeup artist is a woman and your stylist is also a woman. Just pull the curtains and lock the door." Liv, who was painted on her face by the teacher, asked in dissatisfaction.
"Because I thought, dear, that's it," Angela giggled, sticking her head out from behind the curtain, "if you have any dissatisfaction, you can complain to Peter and ask him to send a letter to my lawyer."
"You're so boring, Angie," Liv complained.
Angela, who let out a laugh, immediately retracted her head and asked Karin, the stylist, to remove the silicone stuck on her chest for herself. She understood Liv's complaints, but Angela was never used to exposing her breasts in front of strangers, even if the other party was a woman, not to mention there were two more at the scene. In fact, if she could handle the silicone well herself Angela wouldn't mind doing it herself rather than having a female stylist do it.
It's been seven or eight days since I've been on the set, and I've shot a lot of scenes. One moment is Isengard and the other is a dwarf's mine. In the first scene, Frodo is still living a happy life. The next scene is chased by the Nazgul. . The reason why Liv wears makeup is because she will be filming the scene of Arwen and Aragorn rescuing Frodo in the dark.
When I first came here, the crew wandered around in the caves of the South Island. Although Angela's performance was remarkable, Legolas' breezy temperament made her grasp it well, but the role was not. many. The depressing thing is that they have to follow the whole process. In the eyes of Angela, who is already very nervous in terms of time, this is tantamount to making money and killing her life.
Fortunately, she soon returned to Queenstown to continue shooting scenes in the wild, which finally made her relieved.
"Wow, look at our Princess Arwen, she's so beautiful." After taking off the silicone and putting on her clothes and walking out, Angela's eyes suddenly lit up, Liv's jet-black hair fell down, and the fitted samurai Dress, pointed ears and delicate face make her look pure and charming, but also a little heroic.
"Which one looks better than last year's Halloween?" Liv, who was praised, turned around in a circle.
"It should be... now." Angela pursed her lips and admitted reluctantly. At that time, Liv's makeup was made by herself and she provided her own clothes. She had the confidence to compete with these professional makeup artists in her makeup skills, but her clothes were indeed inferior to them because of the lack of time to prepare.
But after turning her eyes, Angela suddenly put away her smile and coughed and knelt in front of Liv: "Your Highness, are you willing to marry Legolas Luye of the Dark Forest as your wife?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Legolas," Liv responded with a resentful look, "I've already promised to marry Aragorn."
"It doesn't matter, Your Highness, I will kill that human soon so that you don't have to marry him!" Angela said firmly while holding Liv's hand, as if she was talking about something trivial.
"Really?" Liv said overjoyedly, "Great, if you kill him, I will promise to marry you!"
The two "adulters and prostitutes" sang and made the makeup artist and stylist next to each other staring at each other, and after a while, the makeup artist patted Liv on the shoulder: "Miss Liv, drag it on. You're going to be late."
"Oh, yes, I still have to go to the set," Li Mei then remembered that she still had a mission, "I'll go first, Angie, bye."
She said goodbye to Angela in a panic and rushed out the door, and Angela also remembered that she had something to do at this time, so she quickly asked the makeup artist to remove her makeup, and then left the trailer and walked to the house and car where she lived.
"Miss Angela, this is your itinerary memorandum for tomorrow," a twenty-five or six-year-old young woman came to her for the first time with a document, "The satellite phone has been opened, and you can talk to them as soon as possible. "
"Thank you, Cheryl," Angela smiled and nodded after taking the memo, "You did a great job."
"So, is there anything else to do, Miss Angela?" Cheryl seemed relieved.
"I'll do the rest myself, and I'll call you if I need it." Angela said and got into the house car.
Cheryl is the temporary personal assistant that Sparrow found for himself. Angela needs him to run between Boston and Los Angeles, and Buckett and Wilder are good as bodyguards as babysitters... However, the girl's impression of Cheryl It's not very good, but it's not that she is not capable, except for some small mistakes that can be tolerated, she is basically doing a good job. But Angela felt unfamiliar with her, or was it out of self-protection
"Hey guys, are you all right? I'm sorry to bother you again at this time, but please rest assured it will be over soon." Angela began to nag while watching the video.
Fortunately, I had to rush to work before, otherwise Angela would have to die from a headache. Even so, the final editing progress of "The Pianist" has dropped a lot. Fortunately, things such as subtitles or dubbing are still relatively smooth. Williams also promised that the soundtrack will be completed after Thanksgiving, as long as nothing happens before she goes back. Big problems are fine.
By the time she finished her later work across the Pacific Ocean through the satellite phone, it was already late at night, but the loud noises from outside clearly told her that it was still a while before she went to bed. In fact, Liv has come to urge more than once.
"God, it looks like they are really interested." Although they knew that the cast members were having a party outside, when Angela got out of the house car, she realized that they were actually having a bonfire party.
Various cars were lit by bonfires in the middle, and many people were toasting each other and chatting loudly. There are also several small bonfires around, all of which are on racks and the wooden sticks in the middle are wearing common lunch boxes. I don't know what supper is cooking.
"Hey ladies, what are you discussing?" Angela went straight to the ladies' place, and Liv was having a good time chatting with the few women in Karin's crew.
"Look who came out, Angela, our busy man!" Liv exclaimed in surprise after finding Angela, "Are you finally willing to come out? Come and sit, you've missed a lot of interesting things."
"Really? Did Peter lead the Maori dance?" Angela raised her eyebrows, and she was too lazy to investigate whether Liv had mispronounced her name on purpose or not.
"Unfortunately not, although everyone wants to see him dance." Liv pouted and shrugged her shoulders, and then she became a little excited, "You know, they spent a lot of money when they set up a fire just now. Kung fu, but in the end I got it."
"Building a fire? This is a technical job, let me think about how to do it..." Angela touched her chin in retrospect, and called out in surprise: "God, the last time I made a fire was in the Boy Scouts. when!"
"Don't you ever go out camping in the future?" Liv asked curiously.
"Of course not, but... I haven't made a fire myself, especially this way of putting up a frame." Angela tilted her head as if sighing and nostalgic. She carefully observed the bonfire in front of her, and suddenly sighed: "You know, when I was in the Boy Scouts, I was the first to make a fire."
"Don't sigh, at least now you can't be anymore, I'm the first," Liv proudly dug a spoonful of mashed potatoes from the pot for her, "Try it, I made it."
Angela also felt that her stomach was a little rusty at this time, and took the lunch box handed over and tasted a spoonful: "It tastes good, I didn't know you could make mashed potatoes, Liv."
"There are so many things you don't know, you are a genius but not a god." Liv grimaced.
It was very simple to join the topic of women. Although we only got along for a week, Angela's good popularity made everyone like her very much. The topic is very wide, in addition to the makeup, clothing, dress up or a handsome man that women often have, there are also many related to the geographical environment, such as the dense tropical rainforest in New Zealand, which can not help but remind Angela. 6 years ago when I filmed "Piano Lesson" here.
"It was in the North Island, Egmont National Park and Ureweila National Park were filmed. Because the plot requires most of the time the environment, especially the road surface is badly made, often a scene is shot and the whole body is shot. It was full of mud spots." Angela recalled, "but I have to admit that Ms. Campion is an excellent female director, although I don't like some of her actions."
"What methods?" Karin, who was styling her, asked at this time.
"Nothing, some personal opinions, nothing to say." Angela obviously didn't want to say more.
"Hey, what is our Miss Genius doing here? The Fellowship of the Ring is not here." Peter's giggling voice sounded, and he looked flushed and looked like he had been drinking a lot.
"I'm sorry, Director Peter, tell me this when all the nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring are here!" Angela put the drink cup aside, "To be honest, I don't think that except for Aragorn and Gandalf. And with the exception of Frodo, the other members of the Fellowship of the Ring don't have to go through that much trouble to describe it."
"Ha! Great, you know what I heard? Angela is jealous!" Peter burst out laughing.
Angela twitched the corners of her mouth and wanted to argue a few words, but thinking about it, she seemed to be a little unhappy, and she had decided not to argue with Peter again, so she just snorted and rolled her eyes and didn't speak again.
"Don't think I'm one of those guys who don't care," Peter waved his hand at this time, "the necessary trade-offs must be made, but... You did a good job, Angie, Miss Genius, I admit that you did a good job. good."
Perhaps it was because Peter's words were somewhat sincere after drinking some wine, Angela turned her head to stare at him for a few minutes, and suddenly smiled: "I have a gift that I have prepared for a long time, and I didn't intend to bring it out. But... do you want to listen now?"
"Gift?" Peter blinked and stroked his beard. "Since you asked 'Would you like to hear it,' that means this gift is a song? You wrote the theme song for The Lord of the Rings?"
Angela laughed but didn't answer, and Peter didn't ask any further questions. He just turned his head and shouted into the venue: "Everything is quiet! All quiet! Our talented lady is going to sing, this is a rare opportunity!"
Soon everyone was quiet, and the girl smiled slightly, glanced at the audience before opening her mouth: "This song would be better if it was accompanied by a harp, but unfortunately it's not available here, so I had to sing a cappella."
As she said that, she coughed a few times and tried her voice, then took a deep breath and sang acapella:
"Even beauties of ancient times, like stars shining in the day,
Wearing silver-grey silk shoes,
Dressed in a white cloak trimmed with gold, it appeared early in the morning.
There are stars twinkling between her brows,
The light shines on her hair,
The sun shines on the trunk like amber,
In that beautiful Lothlorien.
Her long hair is flowing, her hands are white,
…”
It's very beautiful and beautiful, Angela's voice is like the mist in the forest in the morning, ethereal and incomprehensible. It would be fine, but what surprised everyone present was that the girl sang in Elvish!
This song is from The Lord of the Rings
The fourth volume of the first novel, The Fellowship of the Ring, is the song that Legolas sings after Gandalf's death when the remaining eight come to the Rothlorien camp. Although Tolkien only wrote the lyrics and did not compose the music, and the lyrics were written in English, so Angela should have re-translated it into Elvish language and then composed the music to get the current song, so I believe her so well. It took a lot of effort.
The singing finally ended, Angela stood up with a smile and bowed slightly to the surroundings, and the warm applause suddenly sounded. After standing there for several minutes, Peter suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Alex! Bring the script here! I want to revise the script!"
