Three days later, "Wolf Heart" officially started filming.
Roland had long expected that this would be an extremely novel experience, but he did not expect it to be so interesting.
On the first day of the project's launch, it attracted the attention of all members of the Witch League.
Even if they haven't actually seen the movie, it doesn't prevent them from imagining the brilliance of the play based on the participants' live rehearsal. What's more, some of the actors are ancient witches. Attraction is at its peak.
If you do a survey of "where you most want to go" among the witches, the answer must be the dream world.
They can't go to the dreamland, but now they have the opportunity to see the drama in that world, this temptation is no trivial matter.
The next day, the phenomenon of eating, drinking and playing cards from morning to night disappeared, replaced by strong voices from everyone asking to join the filming, even Tilly was no exception.
If I remember correctly, this is the first time she has made a request.
Therefore, the crew had to temporarily replace a few batches of actors, as long as it did not affect the daily production, Roland was happy to see them join, and the participation of more witches also made the trend of the play more and more strange.
For example, the photographer changed from Amy at the beginning to Lightning.
In order to express the intimacy of the sisters and the happy life of childhood, the little girl slowly fell from the sky of Neverwinter, where the cold wind was howling, and had a panoramic view of the snow-capped city; Entering the castle window hung with ice ridges, falling in front of the roaring fireplace, the huge city and the small bedroom, the snow and the flames, the hurried passers-by and the laughing sisters, the three groups of contrasts instantly outline the two closely connected inner worlds .
Of course, Roland spent a lot of time talking, and finally he even used his poor painting skills to let everyone understand the meaning of "lens".
At the same time, he noticed that when he used pen and paper to describe the basic shooting skills, there was an indescribable light in May's eyes beside him.
It is undeniable that Star of the West does have a talent in drama that ordinary people do not have. She seems to be able to construct a complete picture in her mind, and every person and object on the stage can be used by her. This advantage is not obvious for traditional dramas performed in a fixed area, but after switching to the language of the camera, her talent seems to have found an excellent outlet.
And another recognized talent, Erin, who plays the second princess, obviously has no such talent.
After that, the switching of various perspectives became the norm.
From simple imitation to inferring others, it only took a few days.
Even some of the techniques have a taste of modern cinema.
When the foreign prince appeared, she used a partial to whole shooting method, firstly the boots full of jewels, then to the golden cloak and brocade, and finally to the handsome face with a smile, and then extended to the trailing Chinese servants. From the team, its rich and powerful characteristics are vividly reflected. By the way, the actor who plays the prince is her husband, Kataranis. Although Roland didn't want to admit it, the carefully dressed chief knight was indeed the face of Neverwinter now.
And the use of the lens is only one aspect of it.
Even more amazing is the appearance of special effects.
Basically every day, fresh ideas come out, and based on this, incredible visual effects are extended.
For example, from the hands of Soraya, it is enough to be a "three-dimensional background".
Such as the lightning special effects made by Sharon.
And the fading fog of Nightingale, Moryl's magical servant, the phantom avatar of Shadow...
Maisie plays two roles by herself. In the form of a pigeon, she is her sister's good friend. After she transforms into a fearful beast, she becomes a capable soldier of the devil lord. In the snowy field, she fights with the wolf girl inextricably. Shaking mountains, birds and beasts scattered to describe.
Of course, these special effects are also inseparable from the support of Lotus and Honey.
Halfway through the filming of The Shadow, there were more than 300 people involved... Not only the Witch League, but also Maleficent and Taquila's remnants were very interested. It's more like a drama than a drama. It's a carnival.
Standing on the city wall, Roland looked at the lively crowd not far away, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
He didn't expect that breaking the three-way barrier and narrowing the distance between each other would be a movie shooting. If there was a faint distinction between these groups before this, it would be like oil and water, when they come together, they will slowly Separated, then at this moment, he can no longer see the obvious difference.
No matter what abilities they have, everyone uses them for the same thing. There is no cold boundary between strong and weak, and there is no distinction between regions and factions. As long as you use your brain, you will be able to find your own place in it. This feeling invisibly dilutes the differences between people and makes creations The result becomes the link that connects people.
For him, it was a pleasant surprise.
Roland let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Anna, "Aren't you going to relax with them?"
At first, Nightingale would only stop shooting when she needed to use her abilities, but by then, she had completely enjoyed it.
"I will continue to be busy later," Anna stretched out her hand, showing the oil stains on her lower cuff. "The size of the internal combustion engine parts on the drawing is not a complete reference, and still needs to be adjusted. And... "
"Huh?" Roland blinked.
"Being with you is the best way to relax." She smiled slightly and rested her head on his shoulder.
The warm flames spread out, dispelling the chill in the wind and snow.
Roland also closed his mouth, and shared the quiet tranquility with her.
After a while, Anna said softly, "The future you promised has been fulfilled."
He followed the other party's gaze and saw that those who merged with the play were not only witches from all over the world, but also ordinary people in the crew. May is gesticulating, as if teaching Lorgar and Carter how to act oppositely; Erin squatting aside, happily combing Maisie's hair, while the latter is half-squinting and enjoying herself; a newcomer to the troupe Together with the God's Punishment Witch, they placed the props needed for the next scene. Compared with the factory workshop with a clear division of labor, the relationship here is undoubtedly more natural and harmonious.
It has nothing to do with ability, in the white snow that wraps everything, they all become the same kind of people.
"No, there is still a part that has not been realized." Roland shook his head.
"Are you referring to other territories in Greycastle? Those cities shouldn't be too far away."
"I'm not talking about the relationship between ordinary people and witches, but another commitment." He replied with a smile, "I originally thought that I should be fully prepared, and then follow the process to realize it step by step. But now I found that, In fact, it doesn't matter whether those are there or not, the key is to do it. As for the consequences, there is always a solution. Just like this movie, because there are no rules, it can bring more surprises. "
"So the promise is..." Anna raised her head and blinked her lake-blue eyes. He seemed to be able to see the snowflakes reflected on the slightly turbulent lake.
"Ascension to the throne," Roland paused, then said word by word, "and then marry you as his wife."
