Chapter 225 Middle-earth
Eve didn't know what other people's reactions would be like, but she herself was surprised anyway.
It is only 2000 now, and the special effects of "The Matrix" are completely at the top of the times. Even if it is seen in another ten years, it will not be outdated, and it will be a very exciting science fiction film.
After Keanu got his girlfriend's attention, coupled with Yuan Heping's guidance, the fight this time will be much smoother, and the whole fighting process is like flowing water.
Of course, this is definitely not as good as the seraphim Zou Zhaolong who plays the protector of the prophet, but it has improved a lot compared to the fighting in the first part!
"it is good!"
Yuan Heping took the lead in applauding, and even uttered a sentence in Cantonese.He has always been strict, if the war did not meet the standards, he would definitely not agree.
The special effects director Geta and the Wachowski brothers have not yet relaxed, but repeatedly checked this clip of Keanu, relaxed when it should be relaxed, and strict when it should be strict.
If there is a slight flaw in this, then it will become a big loophole when it is produced into special effects and played on the big screen, and there is no room for sloppy.
Eve really thinks that Keanu is suitable to be an action superstar, he can transform, but he still has to pay attention to his basic skills, just like Harrison Ford.
"Perfect!" Andy turned his head to look at Eve and Keanu from the monitor, and said with a smile, "Keanu, you've finished filming today, you can go back and rest."
They knew that Eve was coming, so they specially arranged a loose time for Keanu, which is why Keanu didn't go to the airport to pick up his girlfriend, and the filming ended earlier.
Next, Hugo Weaving will be under a lot of pressure to shoot. This talented Australian actor has just finished filming the "Lord of the Rings" movie from New Zealand. After returning to Sydney, he joined the filming of "The Matrix" non-stop .
The success of the movie is inseparable from the character creation. In this series of sci-fi movies, not only the cute and handsome savior Neo was created, but also a super villain like Agent Smith who can leave his name on the film history.
In reality, Hugo Weaving is definitely a golden supporting role. He belongs to the kind of actor who the audience thinks he is familiar with, but can only call out the name of the character at once.
Now he has starred in two top blockbuster series, both as the elf lord of Rivendell in the middle-earth world, and as Agent Smith, the common enemy of the matrix and human beings, and will play the masked V in "V for Vendetta". He is the voice of Megatron in the live-action version of "Transformers", the Red Skull in the Marvel movie "Captain America", one person plays six roles in "Cloud Atlas", and he is also the father of the hero in "Hacksaw Ridge".
Because of this, he seems like an evil muse, playing many different roles.
Eve feels that Hugo Weaving is definitely a chameleon among actors, he can play various roles at his fingertips. It is not a bad idea to say that he is an Australian national treasure actor, and the cancer of the Australian Academy Award is not a joke.
At this time, Hugo Weaving was full of helplessness. He complained to Keanu: "You only need to shoot one person's fight, but I have to shoot so many. It feels like my bones are about to fall apart."
Only after he has input the movements and facial expressions into the computer can he move his face to the stand-in during post-production.
At present, it is impossible to produce various expressions out of thin air with technology, and we must rely on ourselves.
Fortunately, Hugo is not unfamiliar with motion capture. He has seen Andy Serkis use motion capture to shoot Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings", but there is very little room for him to perform here, almost all It's a fighting scene, not an acting scene like Gulu.
Keanu spread his hands and said, "This is the price you pay for having too much sex. You should be very glad that you can find so many doubles to help share, otherwise the director will definitely torture you even more."
"I hope so. Who is this?" Hugo Weaving has been filming in New Zealand. Except for the necessary contact with the outside world, the rest of the time is immersed in the movie.
Keanu's relationship with him is more like a colleague than the closest friend, not to mention that Keanu doesn't send a group text message to every friend saying that he is in love.
He thought that the whole world knew about his relationship with Eve. Who would have thought that such cavemen existed.
But this is also very good, it gave him a chance to introduce him in a fair manner, and he has never encountered a similar situation before.
So Keanu immediately took Eve's hand and praised him actively: "This is my girlfriend Eve Campbell, she is also an actress, she just won the best actress at the Cannes Film Festival this year."
"Wow, so amazing?" Hugo Weaving shook hands with Eve me very gentlemanly, and exclaimed: "You look very beautiful, it seems that I still have a lot to make up for, I must see you movie."
Before Eve could say anything, Keanu immediately added: "She is acting in "Mulholland Drive" directed by David Lynch, and it is still in theaters in Australia, you can go and see this movie with your wife. "
He now looks very much like a groupie of Amway Idol's works.
Eve couldn't help laughing, "That's right, it's this movie. I'm really looking forward to the "Lord of the Rings" you star in. It would be great if it could be released soon. The world of Middle-earth must be very spectacular."
This is not a commercial bragging, but really looking forward to the arrival of that fantasy world.
"It should be released next year. While we are filming, the director is making special effects. It will definitely be an epic masterpiece."
"In fact, I just met Sir Ian McLean yesterday, and he is also full of confidence in director Peter Jackson."
Hugo Weiwen was very surprised. He didn't expect so many people around him to have contact with the girl in front of him.
In the Lord of the Rings crew, he played King Elrond and Ian McKellen played Gandalf in many rival scenes, and everyone is an acting school, so there are more topics.
The fat Peter Jackson is really suitable for this kind of fantasy movie, and many people even think that he was born to shoot Middle-earth.
"Are you a Lord of the Rings fan?"
"I've been to Mr. Tolkien many times. That world is so attractive. It's a pity that I debuted too late. If I had been a year earlier, I might have played a small role in the movie."
Eve felt extremely emotional, it doesn't matter if she plays a hobbit, of course female elves are the best.
As for the characters such as the elf princess and the elf queen, I have never fantasized about them.
Fortunately, she still has a little chance. After all, Peter Jackson will film the prequel "The Hobbit" of "Lord of the Rings" in the future. I should have considerable popularity and connections at that time, and it shouldn't be a problem to play a small role in it. , This can also make up for the regret a little bit.
Hugo Weaving didn't know the future plan yet, he could see that Eve was a little bit regretful, so he said with a smile: "I heard Peter talking to the local officials in New Zealand, and many scenes from the movie will be preserved. At that time, relevant tourist routes may be opened, you can ask there."
"Sounds good, this year's Christmas vacation destination has been found!" Eve said excitedly, before "Lord of the Rings" was released, he went to Queenstown and the filming location of Shire first, Save time and become a holy place for fans to check in, and then it will be overcrowded.
However, Keanu had to interrupt his girlfriend's train of thought: "Honey, have you forgotten? We said before that we would go to Alaska to see the aurora at Christmas."
"Well, that's a shame. But we should be able to find another time, I don't believe there isn't even this vacation."
It is true that Eve and Keanu have relatively full work schedules, but that is only in relative terms. In fact, there is still time to rest if you watch alone, but there is no such situation as taking a half-year break after filming a movie.
Few popular actors are willing to rest for so long now.
On the one hand, I couldn't bear the urge to make a movie, and on the other hand, I was afraid that there would be no more movies to pick up when I came out after a break.
"Sorry, I have to do motion capture. Have fun!"
"Thank you, and I hope you work well and finish this job as soon as possible."
Eve waved at Hugo, and then quietly left the motion capture scene with her boyfriend, enjoying the world of the two.
But their first stop was the hotel, because Keanu needed to take a shower and change clothes, and Eve's luggage was still in the trunk of the car.
"I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up today. Our production team usually starts work at [-]:[-] a.m. recently, and the special effects staff will have to transmit the data back to the production center after finishing earlier."
When there were no outsiders, Keanu apologized gently.
My girlfriend flew thousands of miles away to see me, but she was too busy with work to meet her, how difficult it is in a foreign country.
He directly ignored the assistant who went to pick him up at the airport. If he didn't go, it would mean that Eve came alone.
Eve held her boyfriend's hand and told him to stop blaming himself, "You really don't have time, even if I take a taxi, don't treat me as the kind of girl who doesn't have any social experience and will get lost on the road, let alone You asked Sam to come pick me up, it's totally fine."
"Actually, I found out about the crew going back to Los Angeles for filming a few days ago, but I didn't tell you all the time, just to give you a surprise. At the same time, I was also worried that after telling you about this, your trip to Sydney would be ruined." If you want to cancel, you won't blame me, will you?"
"Why? No matter what, I want to see you, I just want to see you." Eve tidied her hair and said jokingly, "It just happened to let me escape from the familiar environment for a while."
"I want to see you too." Keanu suddenly became energetic at this time, "I have named our dog, what do you think of Ethan? This name means solid and firm in Hebrew. mentioned in the Old Testament."
Eve was a little confused, "Are you really naming the dog? It's more like a person's name. You know, Frances's husband is named Ethan Coen, and if we meet her during awards season, it will be Rather embarrassing."
"Actually, I chose two names, one is Ethan and the other is Hannah." Keanu really thought about the names of his son and daughter, at worst, they will be used by dogs first, and then he and Eve will have a child again after that. Think again.
"Why don't you choose a more common name, one named happy and one named lucky..."
Eve still wants to distinguish pets from human names. Those two names are concise and clear, and have good meanings.
But Keanu is a little disgusted. He has realized that the naming rights of children in the future may trigger a family war. What if the children also have this name?
It seems that a few more names have to be prepared in advance, so that Eve can choose from a given range of choices, and can't play it casually.The unread Bible at home might come in handy, and Keanu decided to go back and look for a good name with a deep meaning.
Eve didn't know how far her boyfriend was thinking. She said to herself: "Let's buy a golden retriever and call it happy. It grins all day long and looks really happy. As for lucky, What cat did you decide to buy?"
"Garfield?"
Keanu suggested: "I think it's good to have a cat like Garfield, cute, clumsy, greedy and lazy."
He has read Garfield's cartoons, and he always wanted to raise him when he was a child, but his family was in turmoil and he couldn't do it. Now at such an old age, his wish can finally come true!
The author has something to say: In fact, there are some seemingly insignificant contents, but they are actually a foreshadowing for the following text, which makes the appearance of some content in the following text more reasonable.
For example, Hugo Weaving, Ian McKellen and other actors who are now writing know each other, so that Eve will attend the premiere of "Lord of the Rings" in the future, and pave the way for her to get the heroine of "King Kong" filmed by Peter Jackson. .
In this way, the turning point will be slightly rounded and will not appear so abrupt.
In addition, this article is really advancing towards the goal of a long story, and Eve is far from reaching the peak yet~~~
