Chapter 163 A Night of Ecstasy Under Candlelight(1/2)
In the faint sunlight, the spearhead was like the sharp claws stretched out from the ground by the god of death.
Although I was wearing armor, this kind of armor was just two or three centimeters thick for filming. If I pounced on it like this, it would definitely be pricked to the heart.
Just when I was about to despair, a quick horse rushed over. With a snap, the man immediately pulled the tie behind my armor, and at this time, I was less than ten centimeters away from the spearhead.
The entire crew breathed a long sigh, and Stenborough stood not far away and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
I got up from the ground and saw that the person who saved me was a local extra.
"Boss, it's too dangerous! I almost saw God!" Stenborough walked to me and shrewd.
"Yes, everyone said that props and other things could be simulated, but you had to make them real. If they were not rescued by others, I see how we explain to our sister-in-law when we go back." The fat man shook his head.
I ignored them, thanked the extra, and told them to continue filming.
After the venue was slightly cleaned up, the camera just now came back.
Wallace rushed to Hebix, jumped off the horse and found that the person in Hebix's arms was his father, Old Campbell. Before this, Wallace had seen Old Campbell injured more than once, but this time, Wallace froze at Old Campbell. A large wound was cut in his abdomen. He pushed Hebix hard, trying to get him away. Obviously, Old Campbell was about to lose his life.
The battle was very fierce around him, and the Scots fell one by one, and Wallace had only a very short time to deal with the old Campbell. He and Hebix carried the old Campbell to the saddle and rushed outside.
Many of the long-legged infantry were young men from the new conquest. They were scared by the tragic situation of the war in front of them. Even the veterans who were recruited from France had never seen such a fierce and lifeless opponent. Although the Scots were at a disadvantage, their last victory made them full of confidence, not to mention that their leader Wallace was still by their side, so they held the sword in their hands and took the initiative to kill several times the enemy. In the face of such an attack, the English army continued to retreat, and there was a collapse in front.
The center of the English army, the medium shot, long legs cursed fiercely, and then he turned his face back: "It's time for you to play!"
A man with a black veil on his helmet walked up, unable to see his appearance, but behind him was a large number of cavalrymen.
This is the last trump card of Edward's long-legged.
"Wallace is their lifeblood. Take him here!" said Wallace, who was killed by blood, and said to the nobleman with long legs.
The nobles were hesitant.
Long Legs roared: "Look at it yourself. Our archers and reserve infantry are ready. We will win this battle. Don't worry, I will give you double what I promised you! Hurry, hand me Wallace!"
The nobleman nodded, and he took off the black veil from his helmet.
LOB
He waved behind him, and the cavalry followed him and rushed towards Wallace.
Wallace was rushing outside side by side with Hebish. When he saw a cavalry rushing over from afar, he shouted loudly to prepare for the Scots' spear team.
The Scots immediately organized a spear formation in front of the formation. They raised dense spears and waited for their opponents to come to their door.
But the following scene made Wallace's eyes congested: the team of cavalry stopped not far from the spearmen, and they pulled the arrows on the horse's back. After a rain of arrows, most of the middle of the spearmen fell down.
"Impossible! The Englishman could not have such an excellent bowman!" Hubix shouted at Wallace.
Close-up. Wallace's eyes filled with tears.
Wallace faced the cavalry head-on, and he pulled the man in the lead off and tried to duel with the man. But when the two of them faced each other, they were stunned.
Wallace never thought that he would be here in this way and Robert; he saw a word Robert told him.
Scottish people are by nature fond of betrayal. They are like grass on the high ground, accustomed to swaying with the wind.
Robert picked up his sword from the ground and swung it at Wallace, but Wallace did not respond.
"Come on! Duel with me!" Robert shouted guiltily.
Wallace ignores Lauber
The battle situation around was terrible, and the Scots were killed one by one. Wallace stood blankly in the center of the field and could be killed by the cavalry at any time.
Hebixu rushed over and pulled him onto the horse, and then took him out of the battlefield.
After the scene was filmed, I handed over the battlefield to Munau and others to continue filming, and I took Stenborough to film the scene after Wallace left the battlefield in a woods outside the battlefield.
The woods were filled with mist, but it was really mist. Wallace rode his horse and walked forward blankly, as if he had lost his soul. Behind him was Hebixu, who was holding his father, and more than a dozen followed him.
Down.
Close-up, Old Campbell's face was covered in blood. He said to Hebix with difficulty: "Son, I want to die on the ground."
They stopped in front of a big tree, which was a big tree that only a few people could embrace, with lush branches and leaves. Wallace and Hebrew hugged the old Campbell from their horses and placed him flat under the tree.
Old Campbell spitted a few mouthfuls of blood and said to Wallace and Hebbix in a faint voice: "Farewell forever, children."
The sad and distant bagpipe sounded, a breeze blew, and the branches and leaves of the big tree rustled, like waves of angel whispers.
The sound of bagpipes continued, which was the ancient requiem of Scotland.
"No, you will live, Father." Hebix covered the wound of old Campbell.
"I don't think I can survive without these things." Old Campbell smiled, pointing to his abdomen, where something seemed to surge out of his stomach.
Wallace wanted to touch Old Campbell's body, but he found that the old man was covered with injuries and there was no place to start. Finally, he held Old Campbell's hand that had three fingers missing.
Wallace and Old Campbell stared at each other. Wallace whispered: "You, you are like my father."
When old Campbell heard this, he laughed happily: "I am glad that my death is like your father, we all died in battle to fight for freedom."
Old Campbell opened his eyes wide and looked at the trees in the sky.
In the subjective upward shot, the sunlight leaked from the lush branches and leaves, and the sky was so blue.
"I am very happy that this sky is still the sky of Scotland. I am very happy that when I see the Scots pick up swords for freedom, I also believe that one day the Scots will have their own kings and their own country. And, I firmly believe that this day will not be far away. Children, goodbye." Old Campbell reached out to the sky and then fell heavily.
The sound of the bagpipes gradually became louder, and finally completely covered the sobs of Hebbixu and Wallace.
The wind was howling, and the branches and leaves of the tree were shaking, as if they were observing silence for the old man.
The camera gradually moved away, and the tree gradually became smaller, and the magnificent plateau of Scotland was endless.
The Foster War was filmed for three days. Because the war before lays the groundwork, although the scale of the war was larger than the original one, its screening time in the movie was much shorter than that in the previous war.
Despite this, we didn't dare to take it lightly when shooting, and it was much more difficult to shoot than the original scene. During these three days, nearly 50 people were injured, more than 40 war horses died, and 5 cameras were broken. We had to use a plane to transport a batch of them from the company.
The City of London is very supportive of us, not only providing us with all possible help in personnel, but also providing us with diet.
With unity, we finished filming the scene on the afternoon of the fourth day.
The next week, I divided the crew into two, with Munau and Dunar and another group, and started filming the relatively scattered scenes after Wallace's defeat.
As for Stengburg and Stiller, they continued to be busy with their films. "The Crocodile Pond" has been filmed nearly halfway, and Stengburg said everything is going well.
After the Battle of Foster, Wallace returned to Edinburgh, and returned the medals and titles he had given to him by the nobles, and then returned to his hometown in a daze, to the grave of Murun.
Edward, long-legged, triumphantly, was proud, but when he returned to London, he fell seriously ill.
Robert: He had a big fight with his father and chose the path he wanted to take in his heart.
Among these plays, the relatively important one is the play of Wallace leaving England to France for help.
King Philip IV of France was Isabel's father and an old rival to Edward's long-legged. Although the two sides were in a period of harmony, they secretly prepared to challenge each other. On this day, when Philip was walking in the imperial garden, his servant told him that a Scotsman wanted to see him. Philip summoned Wallace, and he was immediately overwhelmed by Wallace's gentleman and that kind of demeanor. Wallace asked Philip to help the Scots, and Philip promised to keep Wallace and sent an army to him. But when Wallace returned to the inn to rest, Philip's nephew, a nobleman who did all kinds of evil, was chopped off his head by Wallace who could not bear it.
So the government and the people were very dissatisfied with Wallace. Under pressure, Philip had to throw Wallace into prison. At this time, Long Legs also received the news and sent someone to ask Philip to hand Wallace over to England.
The person sent by the long legs was Isabel. Isabel, who had long fallen in love with Wallace, naturally would not bring Wallace back to England. He gave his father an idea of having the best of both worlds: to hand Wallace over to the Pope of Rome.
For various reasons, the Pope of Rome would never execute Wallace, and in this way, Philip had an explanation for both the nobles and the long-legged Edward in China. So after going around, Wallace was taken to the Pope.
Before the Pope, Wallace still did not give up on his hope of seeking help. He called on the Pope to give the Scots help, but this
For an old guy who is panting even when he walks because of his obesity, it is a fundamental thing.
The Pope declared Wallace a freeman and sent him back to Scotland.
Back in Scotland, Wallace began his assassin-like revenge plan. The first thing he did was to rush into the bedroom of Moine alone and cut off the head of the noble who betrayed the Scots. At the same time, he also announced that all traitors would have the same fate.
For a time, the Scottish nobles were panicked. Under the instruction of long legs, the Scottish nobles cooperated with the English to start capturing Wallace, and Wallace's situation became extremely dangerous.
Isabel didn't want to see Wallace fall into the hands of the British. She told Long Leg that she could trick Wallace into a place to negotiate, and then Long Leg could send a killer to catch Wallace. In fact, the woman wanted to see Wallace for the last time and then send him safely out of Scotland.
Long Legs agreed to Isabel's idea, so Isabel came to Scotland. She sent someone to deliver a letter to Wallace, saying that Long Legs Edward sent someone to negotiate with him and decided on a location - a barn.
Only Wallace knew what the negotiations in the barn meant, and he knew Isabel’s real plan. The barn was ambushed and killed them.
Then, Wallace came to Isabel's Castle that night.
The scene where Wallace and Isabel meet are arranged in a horse house in the castle, which is the place he and Isabel agreed upon.
This scene was directed by Munau and filmed by Fatty. In addition to me and Garbo, there were only four people in the room.
"Boss, is the light in the room a little dimmed?" Munau asked me looking at the camera.
This stable is actually a small wooden house, with only one window still closed, and the only light source in the room is a row of candles. After Munau said this, I realized that it was really a bit dark.
"Is that not easy to deal with? Just add candles." The fat man smiled.
"Idiot! Do you think you want to have a candlelight dance party, and you can light as many candles as you want!?" I glanced at the fat man.
In this stable, Wallace and Isabel spent a night together. In such a romantic place, of course, the more ambiguous the light, the better. A row of candles are placed in front of the bedside under the window, making the light in the room extremely soft. It is understandable to meet in such an atmosphere, the emotional burst between the two parties is understood.
"What should I do?" the fat man muttered.
"This is how it goes, add a bronze mirror." I thought for a while and said.
Munau nodded in praise: "Good idea!"
So a bronze mirror was moved in. With it, it not only reflects the light of the candles to make the light in the room meet the shooting conditions, but also because it faces the bed, it can also provide cameras with multi-angle shooting. This method can kill two birds with one stone.
After everything is ready, we officially start shooting.
To be continued...
