Best Actor

    "Open the door! Open the city gate!" With the sound of the quiet horn, and after rushing up to the city to see the approaching team, a person wearing a chainmail like a captain shouted loudly road.

    After the gate of Helm's Deep was opened, a group of elves wearing cloaks and longbows walked in neatly and powerfully, although they didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, only slaps The sound of footsteps, but this calmness made the soldiers around who looked at them, who originally seemed uneasy, slowly calmed down.

    "How is this possible." King Theoden, who received the news, hurried over and was stunned when he saw the long queue.

    First, a handsome elf in armor and a crimson cloak bowed slightly to the king: "King Elrond of Rivendell asked me to tell me that elves and humans once formed an alliance for a long time. In the past, we fought side by side, lived and died together..."

    His words were firm and powerful, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, with an indomitable momentum, at the same time, Aragorn, who heard the sound of the horn, rushed out with Legolas and Gimli.

    "...to fulfill the covenant again today." The elf's gaze involuntarily turned to Aragorn.

    "Good to meet, Haldir." Aragorn looked a little excited, and when he was about to shake hands with Haldir, he simply hugged him, "It's great that you can come. already."

    The elf was a little surprised, but then smiled and patted the other party's back, not caring about his actions, which seemed a bit rude in the eyes of the elf.

    Then Haldir and Legolas patted each other on the shoulders, and then looked at King Theoden again: "It is an honor to fight alongside humans again."

    "Cut!" A voice rang out at this time, and after more than ten seconds, there was a noisy sound of inhalation, and there was a neat formation before. It also became loose, and people started talking in twos and threes.

    "Very well, this is the end of today's shooting!" After five or six minutes, Jackson's voice rang through the speaker.

    Immediately, there were cheers from the crowd, and more people began to find places to rest. Then the lights went out, the large curtains that had been erected were also torn down, and the sky outside was still yellow, which was completely different from the night scene presented in front of the camera during the previous shooting. This is the magic of the movie.

    "Please wait a moment, Mr. Tang," said the makeup artist who was removing makeup for Davis, who played Gimli, when Sean sat down in the simple dressing room.

    "No problem." Sean nodded, Davis really worked hard, as I said before, he just put on makeup for hours, and after wearing these things every day, the skin will fall off layer.

    "I will take off the contact lenses as before." He immediately said this again, then opened the small box of the contact lenses and opened his own with his fingers in the mirror. eyelid.

    His eyesight is actually very good, otherwise no one would say that his eyes are like the bottom of a deep lake, so the contact lenses he wears are actually color lenses that change the color of the pupils. According to the Lord of the Rings novel, Haldir has long blond hair and dark blue eyes.

    Although the pupil color is very dark, unless you look closely, you will not be able to see the difference from other eyes. But Jackson doesn't think so. He is very strict with details. Even if there is a problem with a flag, he has to re-shoot. How can he tolerate the problem of the eyes of important characters, so when the filming started last year, Sean was asked to Wearing contact lenses.

    "Hey Orlando, why do you look exhausted?" Sean laughed and teased after Bloom walked over to sit down and waited for the makeup artist to remove his makeup.

    "Of course, we have been shooting in this ghost place for almost a month, and we will continue to shoot for another month, and maybe we will return to make up shots in the future... When I think of this, I feel that Cold." Bloom sighed.

    As early as a month ago, the scene of the battle of Helm's Deep began to be filmed, and even at the beginning of the year, Jackson asked people to start building the location. The location of Helm's Deep is a deserted quarry on the outskirts of Wellington. The rocks here are jagged and uninhabited, giving people a desolate and quaint feeling. In addition, there is a high and wide stone wall for shooting. A close-up view couldn't be more appropriate.

    Of course, the vision can only rely on the model, the special effects studio has made 64 models of different sizes, the fat man Jackson also plans to rent the stadium in Wellington, and then collect a group of fans Come and shout, to synthesize the various shouts of the Battle of Helm's Deep. What should I say, he and Xinxian are willing to spend money on this, but the salary is nothing.

      Change of clothes - The crew prepared more than a dozen identical costumes for the main actors. In this case, anyone who changes will complain, not to mention Bloom, who has been filming for almost a month.

    "You feel cold, it's because of a cold, it has nothing to do with the movie." Sean continued to tease.

    "We are different from you, Sean, we all have to stay on this crew for a long time, not leave after a month." Although Bloom replied in a joking tone, But at the same time, there is a bit of irony in the words.

    Sean laughed twice, didn't say anything, waited patiently for the makeup artist to come over to remove his makeup, then went to the dressing room to change into normal clothes, and said hello to Jackson who was still busy for a while , got on the crew's car and went back to Wellington.

    One advantage of filming in the quarry is that it is very close to the city. Although it is in the suburbs, it only takes dozens of minutes to enter the city. Although the shooting here is relatively tense, unless necessary, for example, the lighting team can't produce the morning light that the director wants, and needs to collect natural morning light or something. At this time, Jackson will ask everyone to stay in the quarry for one night. Under normal circumstances They are all hotels in the city.

    This made Sean like it very much, New Zealand's population is still a little smaller, last December, he spent the night outside with the crew, and it felt that the whole world was quiet, and they were the only ones left. people. Although this feeling is also felt in the United States, such as going out camping with a few friends or something, it is not as strong as here.

    Although the United States is also sparsely populated, many times the city will be extraordinarily calm as long as the night falls, but there are also many lively places, especially the big coastal cities, which are often considered Above is the city that never sleeps. In addition to Auckland, other cities in New Zealand are at best second-tier in the United States. Even Wellington, the capital, feels very quiet in the middle of the night.

      Because of his experience, I prefer to stay in a crowded place here.

    Besides, the conditions in the city are better than in the wild, at least there are no bars in the camp.

    "Want to try it, this is not America." Sean raised the glass and shook Elijah Wood with a smile.

     "Forget it." Wood hesitated.

    "Okay, Elijah, it's not a big deal to try, I heard that you and Mr. McKellen have been to **** bars, is there any problem with drinking?" into his hands.

    "No problem, just...I've never had whisky." Wood shook his head.

    Under his urging, Wood finally brought the cup to his mouth, took a sip and then coughed again and again, Sean slapped his back a few times while laughing. After drinking this bit of wine, Wood's words finally increased, and it was completely different from the indifference when he first met.

    "When the news came, many people were stunned and said how is it possible, 19-year-old Oscar nominee for best actor, this is too exaggerated. But the news came quickly It was confirmed, so those who questioned before shut up, of course, I am no longer among them, although I am also surprised, but I know..." After a few words, Wood began to talk about Sean's nomination, And under the influence of alcohol gushing non-stop.

    Although Sean rubbed his forehead with a headache, he also sighed in his heart.

    After a lapse of four months, when he returned to the "Lord of the Rings" crew, he found that the atmosphere here became a little different. When he left before, even though Bloom didn't deal with him very much, it didn't show it clearly, and everyone else basically got along. But now that they have come, although they have greeted him, their attitude is not as close as before.

    This is probably the price of becoming famous too quickly. Sean was just an unknown actor before. Although he played the leading role in Oscar director's works, no one said that before the movie was released. Not sure what will happen in the future, so they accepted him easily. And now, the movie is a big box office hit, has a good reputation, is nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and is nominated for an Oscar. It has suddenly become the most dazzling newcomer actor at the beginning of the millennium, leaving them a lot behind.

      When he becomes the most prominent person, then he will gradually be excluded. What's more, Sean has been away from the crew for almost four months, even if he wants to make some salvage actions, it is impossible for him, and this period of time is enough for any bad topics to ferment.

    So, Bloom will hit back at his jokes with that kind of words, so when he came back to Wellington and accidentally met Wood who was out on location elsewhere, the latter was just simple greeted him. Damn it, if Sean hadn't dragged Wood to the bar for a drink, I'm afraid their relationship would have been like this in the future.

    No wonder when getting off the plane, Jackson hinted to him that he should pay attention to something, which is really unpleasant.
