Returning to New Zealand, for Daniel, this time is mainly working in the Wellington studio. After completing this part, he will end the first half of the filming, return to Los Angeles, and get ready to join the group of "Legally Blonde".

Of course, a few months later, he will return here to complete the final work with the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" crew, followed by the special effects production that lasted for more than half a year. Peter Jackson will use his own special effects company—— Weta Digital came to complete the special effects part of "The Lord of the Rings", so the responsibility is huge-you must know that compared with George Lucas, his company is still a bit naive.

Daniel's first job after returning to Wellington was not filming, but an interview invitation for the Wellington Daily.

And the person who delivered the invitation was not Kusa who was far away in Los Angeles, nor Andy who came to Wellington with him, but Francis.

"I really can't imagine that I can get a job from you," Daniel said with a smile, "However, you have to tell you first that you and Peter have discussed it at home, right?"

Accept an exclusive interview about the film during filming, which must be approved by the director and even the entire crew leadership group, especially now that he has the topicality, which will be included in the promotional advantages of the film, and you can't do whatever you want - because there is a contract here I am.

"The editor-in-chief of Wellington Daily, Tacia, is our old friend. You know, New Zealand is so big, and the North Island is even smaller. It has to be done here too. So, some things have to be done even if they don’t go as planned.”

Daniel nodded knowingly.

"They can confirm the specific itinerary with Andy. I'm free here."

"You won't be free anytime soon."

Indeed, as Francis said, Daniel has an important plot to complete in this short period of time—if he can.

The Battle of Paliano Plains may be a crucial battle in the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy". . The warriors of Aragorn, Gandalf, Gondor, and Rohan, as well as the elves, defeated the shadow of darkness here.

For Legolas, his cadenza is here - against the mammoth.

Whether it's a gigantic mammoth or the majestic Minas Tirith, they were all on set, which required a lot of technical means.

For example, the White City of Gondor, it is very spectacular in the script, the real model is designed by Alan Lee and John Hovey, the size is one-seventy-second of that depicted in the script, it is made of polystyrene and resin, about one layer Half a building is about 6 meters high, which means that the original design should be a giant of more than 400 meters.

You have to admire the professionalism and magic of these model makers, at least after Daniel saw the miniature Minas Tirith, he was like a young man who came to New York from Texas.

The blockhouses, streets, and row upon row of private houses are all exquisite and clear.

The shooting of the model was also an eye-opener for Daniel. A miniature camera was fixed on the hydraulic lift, and then rose at an extremely slow speed. This is of course very difficult. It is completely different from ordinary shooting. It is operated by professionals. Not to mention Daniel, even Peter can't figure it out.

The extensive movement training that Daniel received came into play in this scene. But before that, he really needs to complete the "business" that Francis pulled.

The "Wellington Daily" is second only to the "New Zealand Herald" in New Zealand, but it is much inferior internationally. This has something to do with their conservative strategy. This newspaper almost only focuses on what happened in New Zealand. If Daniel If the head elf appeared in Australia, Tasia might not be interested in interviewing him.

The Daily has an excellent location on Lambton Avenue.

Daniel's visit sparked an upsurge in the "Daily", which is rarely visited by Hollywood stars, and Lena and Josh are very interested in witnessing the elf they "discovered".

"You may be very disappointed." The two colleagues told them with exaggerated expressions, "The difference between celebrities with makeup and without makeup is like a swan and a duck, don't be surprised."

Lina doesn't have much contact with celebrities, "No way, we saw that he is also very handsome in the photos on the Internet."

"Oh, simple little girl, as an editor, are you unfamiliar with image processing software?"

Josh and Lena looked at each other.

At 9:50 in the morning, Daniel's car parked in the building where the "Daily" was located, and the elevator went directly to the editorial office of the "Daily Wellington" on the third floor.

Editors and staff have long been eagerly awaiting.

Daniel was taken aback by the situation.

"Hey, look, you liar." Lena patted her colleague on the shoulder excitedly, "You're more handsome than the photo."

Seeing Lena's excited look, Josh next to her got a little pissed off. Looking at Daniel is not as pleasing to the eye as before.

"We've seen it all, we still have to work, we're just little Hollywood stars."

Lena glared at him and reluctantly went back to work, Tasia's gaze was on them.

"Mr. Sandler, it's an honor to meet you."

"thanks for your invitation."

After a short greeting, everyone quickly got into work. Andy directed the makeup artist to do simple brightening. He basically didn't wear heavy makeup because it would damage the skin and it was unnecessary. He wore his own clothes today , After all, it's not a magazine cover.

The chief reporter of the social edition was in charge of the interview, and the photographer was also the main photographer. The "Daily" still attached great importance to Daniel.

The two sides talked for two hours.

The topic mainly focused on his impression of New Zealand. You know, Daniel went to many national parks, scenic spots and protected areas in New Zealand with the film crew on location. In addition, it is the response to the Legolas elf incident, which caused an uproar in New Zealand, and the response of the parties will naturally be of interest to some people.

Generally speaking, everything in this interview is quite satisfactory, which is very in line with the tone of the "Daily". I didn't pay too much attention to the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", and I didn't pay much attention to Daniel's rocket star road.

After the interview, the "Daily" arranged lunch, but Daniel declined.

However, on the way to leave, there was a little accident. A young female editor came up to ask for an autograph. That's right, she was Lena. Even though Josh's face was not very good-looking, she still couldn't hold back.

She felt like she was going to be a groupie.
