Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 465: Invitation to the theme song

Views:

It's no wonder that Peter lost his temper. As a fan of The Lord of the Rings, he knows the poems in it well. If the content of the novel is not too long and there must be trade-offs, maybe he will find a way to add all the poems.

And now Angela sings this song in Elvish language, and it is so beautiful that it fits the mood of the elves. It's too surprising, and he can't help but don't want to add the deleted content back - now In the script, the Fellowship of the Ring met Queen Galadriel as soon as they arrived at Lothlorien.

Of course, this is not difficult for Peter, anyway, he is a director, a screenwriter and an executive producer. As long as the budget is not exceeded, New Line will definitely not dictate, but he wants more than that...

"Very good, well done!" Peter clapped his hands, a big smile on his fat face wrapped in hair and beard, and it looked like he was really happy with the shot so far.

"Do well, dirty and smelly human." Angela and Vigo clapped hands and said jokingly.

"So are you, arrogant elf." Viggo laughed, and Sean Bean, who was lying in the "corpse", stood up with the help of Davis and exclaimed: "Look, these two are not Heart-hearted guy, he doesn't want to help me collect the corpse when I have time to chat."

His words made everyone laugh again. Today is the scene of Boromir's death. In the original Tolkien's death was described very simply, but Peter Jackson reworked it here, and he did it very successfully.

"I will follow you, my brother, my leader, my king!"

This lens has been "used" by many people and people

The second part Gandalf led reinforcements into the army of Orcs against the sun, and the third part Aragorn's speech in front of the Dark Portal was ranked as the most shocking place in "The Lord of the Rings". So even if Peter made a lot of conflicts with the original when adapting it, he still won the hearts of 99% of Lord of the Rings fans.

"Come on, Sean, you can obviously clean up yourself, so why bother others." Angela replied immediately.

"I personally think it's a good idea." Another Sean who had no role in the scene nodded seriously at this time.

"Clean up your own body? It's really good." Bin shrugged helplessly and depressed.

After a few days of filming, the actors of the Fellowship of the Ring have gotten to know each other quite a bit. Angela, who is the only woman and starring in the opposite role, has won the respect of the other seven men with her acting skills and skills - well, count 6, Ilya can be regarded as half of Angela's FANS - no one would have thought that this girl with such a long street as a screenwriter, actor, singer, etc. can still perform in the action scenes of this fantasy movie. excellent.

"Sometimes, I really think of her as a man, if I don't look at her face." Viggo had said this to Bin privately.

"Hey, Angie, how are you thinking about it?" Peter came over at this time, his eyes staring at Angela without any awkwardness, "I don't think it will take you much time, right?"

"Sorry, it doesn't seem possible, Peter," Angela rolled her eyes helplessly, "Do you know how many poems there are in the three novels? Even if I don't do anything right now, I'll compose music for those poems. , and it can't be done in a short time. All I can say is, Peter, you really will find something for me to do."

"Come on, Angie, I didn't tell you to compose all the poems," Peter explained. "I chose a few representative poems, which shouldn't be difficult for you."

"Isn't it difficult?" Angela sighed with a wry smile, thinking for a few minutes before opening her mouth again: "Do you know how much effort I spent to compose the song of that poem? No song has words like this. It's verbose, and the more words you have, the more effort it takes to compose unless all you want is a normal pop song. Also, how are you going to use it in a movie? Let Elijah and the others sing it? I'll say it again, This is not an ordinary pop song, if you want to sing, you need enough skills."

She said and patted Peter's arm again: "I'm sorry, I don't have that much time and energy. Of course, you can also try to find someone else. I'm not the only outstanding musician in the world."

"You don't know how good you sing..." Peter muttered to himself, and then scratched his messy head in annoyance: "Your answer makes me feel bad... Then, are you willing to sing for The Lord of the Rings? "Write a theme song?"

"Ah?" Angela blinked in surprise, "You... haven't decided on the theme song for the movie?"

"Of course, I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to think about them. The original plan was to start shooting the movie and get on track, and then use the halfway vacation to find a way to find it, but now I have found one." Peter said Seriously, "Alex and I took the time to discuss that the type of music that 'The Lord of the Rings' needs should be similar to that of New Age, and when you sang a cappella that night, it was very ethereal and ethereal. It's just one... not three theme songs, I don't think you would refuse, right?"

"Theme song..." Angela suddenly didn't know what to say, "just... like this?"

"Actually..." Peter raised his eyebrows, "I also want you to try to compose the soundtrack for the movie. After all, as the youngest winner of the Best Soundtrack Award, if you don't have the strength, you won't be recognized. I don't know if you dare. Dare to take?"

"Don't be aggressive with me, Peter, although I wouldn't mind trying to score for The Lord of the Rings, but I don't have that much time, so I can only promise you to try writing the theme song." Angela shook her head quickly, and then she I knew I was fooled.

It's a pity that the other party didn't give her a chance to go back: "It's settled, at least I want to see the finished product before next summer vacation!"

Peter smiled slyly and then left, while Angela twitched the corners of her mouth and reluctantly accepted the reality. If you really speak from the heart, trying to write the theme song for "The Lord of the Rings" is also something worth challenging yourself, but... She'd bet that if she actually wrote it and was recognized, Peter would still want her to sing.

Anyway, I have sung the theme song for "Titanic", and it doesn't matter if "The Lord of the Rings" is added. Angela thought so. She didn't plan to move the original song directly. Since Peter gave him time, why not write the theme song based on his own feelings? Although she hadn't tried New Age's style of music, it wasn't a problem. Angela has no preference in music. In her opinion, as long as it can move people's hearts and resonate with people, it is good music, so as long as she spends time, she may not be able to create good New Age-style music.

Of course, not yet. In addition to the daily filming, she has to direct the editing work through satellite phones, and she also has to contact her parents, lovers, friends and mentors. There is really no extra time to think about the theme song. Anyway, the deadline Peter gave was that there was no need to hurry next summer vacation, so Angela occasionally had time to rest and relax.

Among the members of the Fellowship of the Ring team, apart from Elijah Wood, who is half a fan of himself, Vigo Mortensen should have the best relationship with Angela. In addition to being an actor, Vigo is also a painter, poet and photographer. He has published several collections of works, including many of his own paintings, poems and photographs.

Angela would sometimes discuss with him painting techniques, works by famous painters, and poetry of various genres, some of which were raised by his parents and some of his own insights. She also introduced those square poems to each other.

"Unfortunately, Vigo, if you really want to understand the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry in those harsh regulations, you have to learn those cubes. And even unhindered communication is not enough, you have to learn more. One step closer," Angela said enticingly, "In short, as long as you have studied, you will understand what I said."

However, the most interesting thing is that the two of them competed to draw a sketch for Liv, and they had to draw Liv's heroic appearance with a knife and riding a horse from memory. Vigo's drawing skills are pretty good and Angela's not bad, but compared to his familiarity with Liv...

"Now, I'm announcing that the winner is Angela Mason!" After a discussion among the amateur judges, Liv, who provided the portrait, announced the winner's name. Although there was a judging panel, it was Liv's speech that had the decisive opinion, and it was natural to say who she would prefer.

"Congratulations, you won." Vigo didn't go to accuse "Shady" or the like, and shook hands with Angela generously.

"Yours is not bad, but luck is on my side." Angela said with a smile.

Comparing the two sketches, Vigo's emphasis on realism, and Liv's face was copied by him exactly; while Angela walked between freehand brushwork and realism to make the whole painting more flexible. The degree of familiarity with Liv, so the victory was not because of Liv's favoritism. Of course, someone doesn't think so.

"I think you should thank me, otherwise how could it be so easy to win? Ilya and the others are arguing about this." Liv proudly claimed credit in front of her.

"It sounds like I could win because you helped me cheat?" Angela looked at her with a bit of confusion.

"Isn't it? Just think about how to thank me!" Liv began to openly ask for favors.

Angela rolled her eyes involuntarily, looked at the nearby white horse, and whispered in Liv's ear. Liv, who had itchy ears, giggled a few times before she understood, and then she blinked: "Is that okay?"

"Of course, neither of us have any dramas now," Angela spread her hands, "just tell them."

"Okay, I'm going to ride the front!" Liv exclaimed happily, "I'll control Cecilia!"

Cecilia was the name of the white horse. Although it was not as variegated as Angela's Windsor, nor was it as vigorous as an English thoroughbred, it was still very docile and suitable for a mount.

"Okay, okay, you control it." Angela didn't argue that Liv rode up first, followed by herself and rode behind her. Then the girl stepped on the stirrup and hugged Liv from behind to hold the rope, and said a little proudly: "You think I really can't do anything? You think I will really let you control Cecilia. ?"

"Hey, how can you talk without words!" Liv, who was hugged tightly, protested.

"How can I not talk, dear?" Angela said with a smile behind her back, "I said I would let you control Cecilia, but I didn't say when I would let you control it."

After she finished speaking, she laughed and shook the reins lightly to make the white horse move. At the same time, she shouted to Vigo arrogantly: "Hey, Aragorn, your wife is mine now!"

"It doesn't matter, dear Legolas, you have eternal life anyway, don't you?" Vigo waved his hand with a smile.

"Let's go out for a walk, we'll be back soon!" Angela shouted to the staff after driving Cecilia out of the set, followed by a forceful flick of the reins to make the horse run.

The two shared a ride to go out for a walk, this was Angela's proposal. At this time in the southern hemisphere, the weather is sunny and hot, and it is rare for the crew to no longer shoot in the forest and move to hilly areas with relatively flat terrain, which is suitable for horses to run.

"Wow, how is it, how is it, do you want to come again?" During Cecilia's running, the two girls laughed and laughed. Angela finally didn't break her promise to let Liv take control for a while, but as soon as this guy got the reins, he threw the horses to run fast, and Angela had to grab the reins again in order to prevent any problems.

"What a disappointment, I want it to run faster." Liv said regretfully.

"How fast do you want?" Angela said dissatisfiedly, "We were all stuck together just now!"

"Then stick it tighter!" Liv said, leaning against Angela's body, laughing and dawdling.

"Okay, I'm going to bite your ears if you mess around again!" Angela wanted to fall back and let her rely on the air.

"Do you dare?" Liv turned her head and made a face, then twisted her back and showed a narrow smile: "I think your breasts are really full."

"Liv!" Angela grinded her teeth and leaned in front of Liv's head, "Are you planning to try it yourself?!"

"Will you let me try?" Liv widened her blue eyes, revealing innocent eyes.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, the smiles of the two girls gradually faded, and a subtle atmosphere flowed between them. Then Liv leaned forward and seemed to want to do something, but Angela leaned back as if coming to her senses: "I think, we've been out too long, we should go back now."

"Maybe... we can stay a little longer." Liv said without blinking, staring into her eyes.

"No, it will be troublesome if they come to us." Angela said and pulled the reins from behind, driving Cecilia to run in the same direction as when Cecilia started to come and go.

All the way back to the studio without words, and at this time all the staff were packing their things and seemed to be leaving here.

"God, if you don't come back, we will really come out to find it." The enthusiastic Parker was the first to greet him.

"What happened?" Angela jumped off the horse and reached out to support Liv, who also dismounted. The two looked as if nothing had happened before.

"Yes, good news." Parker said brightly, "We will be shooting indoor scenes in the next few days. Now we will go back to Queenstown for repairs, and if possible, we will go back to Wellington, so we don't have to wait until Thanksgiving."

"Really? It's great!" Angela immediately jumped up and put her fists down, her expression of joy beyond words. No wonder she was so happy that she finally didn't have to sleep in that damn house car!

To be honest, houses and cars are quite comfortable with complete facilities, but after all, they are not as good as hotels, let alone their own homes. Occasionally staying for two or three days is nothing, but now it is almost half a month, which will inevitably make her tired.

"Okay, let's pack up and leave now." Angela said, jumping to the house and car where she and Liv lived, and it seemed that she didn't want to stay for a moment.

"Hey, Angie, wait for me!" Liv, who quickly followed, looked at Angela, who was dancing, she couldn't help but wanted to laugh, but then she pouted her mouth again, showing a displeased expression, and her teeth slid across her lips as if Very dissatisfied with something. After rolling his eyes and thinking for a few minutes, he suddenly smiled again, but there seemed to be something else in the smile.

It didn't take long for the crew to pack up - they had already started to pack up before Angela and Liv returned. Then the mighty motorcade left the hilly area, got on the road and drove all the way to Queenstown.

Although the resident population of Queenstown is only more than 10,000 people, this town located on Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by the Southern Alps is a famous tourist town in New Zealand, especially for those bungee jumping, horse riding, jet boating and water rafting. Waiting for the great outdoors is something that every tourist who comes here will not miss.

Peter didn't say much after checking into the hotel in town, apparently knowing that everyone was basically exhausted. Angela didn't want such a luxurious room. Although as the biggest and most famous person in the crew, she had the right to make such a request, but in fact she only hoped to arrange a single room for herself. This requirement is too simple, the actors' rooms are basically single rooms.

Angela took a shower when she came to her room. She actually wanted to go out for a walk. Although it was already dark, it wasn't too late, and she had never been to Queenstown when she was drilling caves a few days ago. Never stopped. Six years ago, when I came to New Zealand to shoot "Piano Lesson", I stayed in the North Island from beginning to end, and I didn't even see the shadow of Queenstown, so Angela was somewhat resentful.

But after thinking about it, there is still time anyway, unless Peter changes his mind and pulls the crew out of the field, so it's not too late to go shopping in a few days. And Queenstown won't grow feet to run away.
