Rebirth In Hollywood

With the arrival of June and July, Australia entered winter, and the crew was not affected by the change of seasons. They filmed in rotation between Nicole's Gold Farm and the studio of Warner Movie World, and also went to South Wales in the middle. Newcastle, after a short filming there, went to the islands closer to the south to shoot some scenes about the winter in Lordaeron. "

The production cost of 150 million US dollars was obviously not enough, Walt Disney invested an additional 15 million US dollars, and Charlize Theron's CT Nature's Treasure also invested 15 million US dollars in the film, As a result, the total production cost of the film was piled up to 180 million US dollars!

The pressure on Natalie was further increased, and if the film failed commercially, it would be a complete tragedy.

As the leading actor, Ryan's life is not easy. After Charlize's investment is in place, she also came to Australia. The scene of Romance of the Three Kingdoms would be a headache for anyone.

Compared to Natalie, Nicole treats Charlize kindly. Anyway, this is Sandy's godmother. Although the two also have extremely serious knots, they are not to the point where they don't talk to each other.

"This is the heroine chosen by Director Portman?" Charlize said with a touch of disdain.

There was no role for Ryan today, he asked for some finished master tapes from the crew to watch, and Charlize, who had nothing to do, also came to the film room.

"This is not a female mage at all."

According to Charlize’s original expectations, the role of Jaina originally belonged to her, but now she has to give up due to some annoying reasons, so she naturally has prejudices against Gail Gadot, “She is more than wild, but not refined, no matter how you look at it. Diana Prinz, not Jaina Proudmoore."

In fact, Ryan understands. What Charlize said is not unreasonable, after all, the image of Gail Gadot Wonder Woman is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Honey..." Ryan turned off the player and rubbed his forehead helplessly, "This is just a vase role, and Gail has also made great efforts."

"Alright alright."

Raising his hand, Charlize stood up and turned behind Ryan, carefully placed his hand on his forehead, and gently rubbed it, "Don't worry. I know you are very busy and tired, so I won't give you more money." Annoyance, if Miss Kidman can turn a blind eye, so can I."

Turning his head, Ryan took a serious look at Charlize, and there was a gentle smile on South African Diamond's face, just like in the past ten years.

Think of the troubles of this time.

Ryan closed his eyes slightly, he was already very satisfied to be able to maintain the current state, too many extravagant demands would only break the fragile balance that was finally formed.

Filming in Queensland has temporarily come to an end. The crew moved to Sydney. In the studio of Fox Studios, the filming of the last scene of the first film began. This is definitely the darkest moment in the history of film-Alsace Menethi who has no choice Er helplessly raised his butcher knife to the people he swore to protect. Let go of the belief in the Holy Light and walk into the dark abyss with no retreat.

It is impossible for the crew to build a Stratholme specially for this purpose, and the shooting is still carried out surrounded by blue screens. The huge city will be synthesized using technology in post-production.

Since arriving in Sydney, it has become normal for these actors, including Ryan, to wield weapons and fight against the air every day. Occasionally, there are props on stage, and they are all disgusting and scary skeletons. Hate the model, even if the most unbearable stomach is blocked according to Natalie's request, it is still scary.

And Ryan's shooting times have also plummeted, and now there are only two of the three stunt doubles left, and the other one quit the crew due to injury as early as when he was filming the battle scene on the farm.

These three stunt doubles are Ryan's usual candidates, and the crew will not treat them badly. All the compensation they should have will be given. Although Ryan and Disney are black-hearted capitalists, they will not be so good as to deduct the remuneration of the cast and crew. the point.

At the same time as the filming, the publicity work of the film was also carried out in an orderly manner under the full promotion of Disney.

At the just-concluded San Diego Comic Con, Disney Pictures released a 30-second "artistic trailer" for the movie "World of Warcraft", which includes real scenes cut out by Natalie and computer special effects produced by Industrial Light and Magic.

These scenes show the battle between humans and orcs at the beginning of the film, which is full of epic sense. Although such an opening does not have any creativity, it is the best way to attract the audience's attention.

What's more, this is just the beginning of the film promotion.

Next, the last film in the "Harry Potter" series - "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" officially landed in North American theaters in the summer.
