"Stop! Be careful and let go!"

On the open-air set, the huge nose of a mammoth fell from the crane and was quickly assembled by more than a dozen workers onto a mammoth model lying on the ground. This is a huge monster created in a one-to-one ratio. Just lying alone is more than one person taller.

Duke stood not far away and asked the photography assistant to shoot all this scene. This will be a good publicity and behind-the-scenes material in the later stage.

“Hi, Duke.”

The sound of greeting sounded from the back side, and Alessandra Ambrosho walked over in windbreaker jeans and long leather boots, Duke nodded at her, "Hello, Colleen."

After the crew finalized her role as Arwen, Alessandra Ambroheu, in addition to familiarizing herself with the character script, often appeared on the set, especially when Duke shot scenes related to the elves, she would basically be present to observe races that do not exist in this world.

For her, who is relatively less famous among Victoria's Secret Angels, she will inevitably seize every opportunity to expand her popularity.

"This mammoth looks like it's true," she stood behind Duke's side and said in an incredible tone. "I couldn't imagine this scene before filming this movie."

"It's a pity that I can't move." Duke just sighed.

In addition to the synthesis using CGI technology, the crew also produced a large number of mammoth models of different proportions. One of the largest models in the open-air set was the largest. These were hand-carved by the prop team staff in the Wellington factory in polystyrene. The interior was supported by a lightweight steel frame and transported to the set in eleven parts by a trailer.

After the staff assembled the mammoth, they inserted spears and arrows into the mammoth's corpse. So much heavy work was just to shoot a few scenes of the mammoth who were striving to be realistic after the death of the mammoth.

If you want to make a good video, you never save time and effort.

The rear of the model was arranged as a mammoth that was shot into a hedgehog-like mammoth, and the position of the head became another scene when Legolas shot and fell after he fell.

Duke will not waste randomly on the aspects that can be saved.

The assembly work was busy for half an afternoon, but the shooting took only twenty minutes, leaving others to continue shooting behind the scenes. Duke and John Schwartzman returned to the studio. Alessandra Ambrosau saw that Duke did not object, and walked with Tina Fey, and followed him.

Entering the studio, Orlando Bloom has become Legolas, standing in front of the green screen, communicating with action guide Jimmy Carter. The next scene of Legolas fighting against the Mammoth Mammoth.

This special reshoot shot was once sniffed by countless film critics in North America, believing that there was no need to exist at all. It was to sell faces entirely, but in Duke's hands, he not only did not intend to cancel, but even wanted to make it more so that Orlando Bloom could sell as much skills and face as possible.

After walking over, Duke asked directly, "Do you need a stand-in?"

"No." Orlando Bloom was confident, "I can do it myself! I've also received training!"

In the eyes of everyone in the crew, Orlando Bloom is definitely a lucky guy who just graduated from school and received such an important role.

Orlando Bloom is not the future. Now he has no capital or fame. The only thing he can rely on is to work hard in front of Duke.

After a brief conversation with art director Hannah Selena and action director Jimmy Carter, Duke walked through the set surrounded by blue screens and sat behind the director's monitor that had been set up. He also asked the assistant to notify the crew of the final preparations before the filming immediately.

Although it was filming a scene where Legolas fought against the mammoth alone, it was impossible for Orlando to shoot? Bloom was really standing on the mammoth model, and such a huge model was too difficult to control.

Therefore, here is the simplest and most labor-saving method of shooting in blue screen.

Standing behind Duke, Alessandra Ambroshe seemed to have a problem and wanted to ask. But just as he wanted to open his mouth, he saw Tina Fee raise her finger and make a silent finger, so he had to swallow the words back.

Although this is just an assistant, Alessandra Ambroheu has been on the crew these days but knows that if the director is not there, the other party has a considerable right to make decisions.

People who can make their mark in the highly competitive modeling circle are basically all good people.

After the crew was ready, the filming kicked off. There were not many performances that required acting skills. While Orlando Bloom was coordinating and balancing, he was just enough to take out the handsomest and coolest side.

The background of the filming is still a blockbuster blue screen. Orlando Bloom, who is hanging on a balanced wire, jumps on a pile of still blue sandbags, tries to make a sway left and right posture, and constantly fights against the enemy played by the stunt actor...

Like all action shots, the shots shot here are very short. In an average of more than ten seconds, Duke will shout a stop, and then Jimmy Carter will call Orlando Bloom and the stuntman to explain the action routines of the next scene.

During the break, Duke waved to the back, and Tina Fe immediately let Alessandra Ambrose come over.

"Legolas is the representative of the male elves in the film."

Pointing to the chair next to him, Duke asked after Alessandra Ambrosho sat down, "Arwen is the representative of the female elves. Colin, how many days have you seen it? Do you have any experience?"

Alessandra Ambrosho thought for a while, looked at the handsome Orlando Bloom on the blue screen and said softly, "We must fully demonstrate the elf's elegant, agile and handsome side."

Speaking of this, she smiled confidently, "Give full play to the actor's advantages in appearance."

"No," Duke nodded in approval, and reminded her, "Awen's father is King Eron, and her grandmother is Queen Kelantriel. She is born with a pure and noble side."

"I understand." Ambroshe squeezed a smile he thought was the most beautiful to Duke.

Unfortunately, Duke turned around at this time, looked at the set, shouting loudly, "All departments are ready to start shooting the next shot."

These scenes that require cgi to be synthesized. The shots taken now are just the most basic materials, and there will be a lot of processing in the later stage. Perhaps it was because of the hard training in the past six months that played a role. Orlando Bloom has been in excellent condition since the start of filming. In addition, his scenes do not have much difficulty in performance, so the shooting is relatively smooth.

After completing the scene on the back of the mammoth, the crew changed to the adjacent shooting site. This scene just built in the Blue Screen area actually had only one shot of Legolas sliding down from the mammoth's nose.

Of course, there are still various props wrapped in blue screens here.

After just a few simple practices, Orlando Bloom signaled that Duke could take the official shot. His physical condition was adjusted very well. When he was holding a short bow and sliding down from the blue springboard, he did not forget to put on a handsome look...

After shooting back and forth three times, Duke shouted to pass, and the afternoon work ended.

Leaving the monitor and film to the assistant director to pack up, Duke walked to the set and took a picture of Orlando Bloom's shoulder, "It's done well, even better than I expected."

Orlando Bloom scratched his face and smiled a little shyly.

"Keep your shape."

Duke reminded him, waved his hand to Tina Fei and walked out of the studio.

"Can I be together?"

Seeing Tina Fei put away her phone after calling for a short time, Alessandra Ambroshe asked tentatively, "Can I go and ask Duke for a few questions?"

Tina Fei glanced at her, nodded slightly, then accelerated her pace and caught up with Duke.

"I just spoke to Warner Bros.," she said while following Duke, "The global box office of "100,000 Hurricane" exceeded $200 million yesterday."

“Rare good news.”

Although he said this, Duke still shook his head gently. As many media said, if the director of "Hundred Thousand Hurry" was not him, it would have been impossible for him to achieve such a high box office result.

However, Duke will not underestimate himself, and fame and appeal are part of the director's strength.

Although Alessandra Ambroshe follows, there is nothing to keep in secret about this data. Duke signaled Tina Fey to continue.

"Warner's DVDs and videotapes for the film have sold $6.75 million so far in North America."

These numbers seemed to be engraved in my mind, and Tina Fei didn't have to think at all. "Warner Brothers also signed the first round of TV broadcast agreement with NBC TV, with the authorized income of $1 million."

She added, "The video is still available in multiple overseas markets, and the overseas peripherals will not be sold later."

The box office and peripheral revenue of "Hundred Thousand Hurry" are not high, and even set a record low for Duke since he started filming. However, compared with the production cost of only $10 million, the investment income ratio of this film is also extremely high.

"Tina, remember to remind me to call Jeff Robinoff and Doug Walter at the right time."

There is a time difference between New Zealand and North America. Even as Warner's major shareholder, Duke will express appropriate gratitude to Warner Bros.'s senior executives for their full support.

The interpersonal network must always have come and go.

That kind of situation where a person can be so popular in Hollywood, let alone Duke, even if James Cameron is added, it can't be done.

Staying in the office, Duke communicated with Alessandra Ambrosho and some questions about the role. This girl who stood out from the modeling circle at a young age is indeed a smart person and basically grasped what she needed to play Arwen.

However, when Duke was preparing to film Arwen and Aragon the next day, he had to change his plan due to an accident. (To be continued...)
