“我們一直想等一個(gè)合適的時(shí)機(jī)——故事劇情已經(jīng)發(fā)展純屬,整個(gè)劇組的預(yù)算非常合理,時(shí)間剛剛好且能達(dá)到資源最大化,在這樣的時(shí)候,攝制一場勢均力敵的戰(zhàn)役。”
Byran Cogman補(bǔ)充道:“雙方各有一支軍隊(duì)。”
聽起來這場戰(zhàn)爭更接近我們在電影中見到的鴻篇巨制,只不過囿于電視屏幕,呈現(xiàn)出來的場面會(huì)被大大限制。據(jù)《娛樂周刊》描述:“(這場戰(zhàn)爭中)雙方除了有千軍萬馬,還有情節(jié)清晰貫穿始終的敵我雙方斗智斗勇。”正如Byran Cogman所說:“是一場勢均力敵的戰(zhàn)爭。”
負(fù)責(zé)本劇運(yùn)作的Dan Weiss承認(rèn)這是本劇最鴻篇巨制的戰(zhàn)爭場景,啟用了最多的臨時(shí)演員和戰(zhàn)馬,由執(zhí)導(dǎo)了第五季中異鬼攻占野人領(lǐng)地(Hardhome)場景的Miguel Sapochnik執(zhí)導(dǎo)。光是拍攝便歷時(shí)一個(gè)月。
“我們一直在想,‘難道觀眾不想在電影和電視中看到更豐滿現(xiàn)實(shí)的戰(zhàn)爭景象嗎?’”Dan Weiss說道,“觀眾也想知道怎樣拍出這些戰(zhàn)爭場景中的細(xì)節(jié),不是亂哄哄一團(tuán)糟的混亂,而是包含了地形的、情節(jié)有起有伏的細(xì)節(jié)場景,因?yàn)殛P(guān)鍵是,觀眾知道為什么。”
《權(quán)利的游戲》四月回歸之時(shí),我想我們也會(huì)知道為什么。
'Game of Thrones' is about to get its 'biggest' battle yet in season 6
If you thought the attack of the White Walkers last season was a lot, things are about to get turned up on "Game of Thrones."HBO's hit drama has filmed "definitely the biggest" action sequence yet for the upcoming sixth season, writer-producer Bryan Cogman told Entertainment Weekly.
"We've always wanted to get to a place — story-wise and budget-wise and time-wise and resource-wise — where we would be able to do a proper battle, with one army on one side, one army on another side," he added.
And it sounds like this battle will be closer to the classic wartime scenes you're used to in movies, with CGI kept to a minimum. As EW describes it: "hundreds of human soldiers on one side of a field, another army on the other side, and then there is a clash that is highly tactical, yet character-driven, and shown from start to finish."
Or as Cogman says: a "proper battle."
Showrunner Dan Weiss confirmed it's the most ambitious battle the show's seen, with the largest number of extras, as well as horses. It was directed by Miguel Sapochnik, who also did "Hardhome," the season-five episode with the onslaught of White Walkers. Shooting took a month.
"We wondered, 'Why don’t you see more fully fleshed-out battles in movies and TV?'" Weiss said. "Then you get into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to actually shoot these things in a way that isn’t just helter-skelter chaos but actually gives you a sense of battle geography and the ebb and flow, and you realize why."
When "Game of Thrones" comes back on the air in April, we'll see why, too.
