Chapter 3655 Movie Plan (VIII)
Later, Schiller returned to New York, and while having dinner, he received the audition content from the crew.
Schiller actually rarely sees himself in the camera. He basically doesn't watch the videos of him shot by passers-by, and he doesn't appear in the videos he shoots himself. So sometimes he is curious about what he looks like in the camera.
But obviously, movie lenses and short video lenses are completely different. Most people look mediocre in short video lenses, and even many actors look very different in short videos than in movies. On the one hand, the atmosphere is different, and on the other hand, the lens distortion caused by the two different lenses is also different.
Schiller marveled at how he looked completely different in the film footage.
He kind of understood why Chris wanted the three protagonists to misunderstand him. It's not the kids' fault for being biased, his temperament under the camera was so unique.
During the audition, the school clinic scene was built in the studio. Schiller thought it was quite ordinary at the time, but in fact, the lighting during the shooting was carefully adjusted and designed, and the influence of light on a person's appearance is very great.
The three children are relatively young, with baby fat still on their faces, and their performance details are not as good as those of adults. So in order to highlight their expressions, the light of the camera is mainly designed around shaping the details of their facial features. This is just right for the children, making their facial features look very three-dimensional, and their expressions and demeanor very obvious, which can give the audience a stronger sense of immersion.
But for adults, especially for Schiller, this light makes his facial features too sharp. The folds of his face are almost extreme, and the shadow under the brow arch covers the entire eye. Looking from bottom to top, the gray of the pupil becomes deeper, and the emotions become more obscure. Under this kind of enhancement, the lens of the monocle can no longer cover up, and the whole body exudes a neurotic indifference.
Even when he was standing there motionless, it was fine. But when he moved and started speaking his lines, there was something indescribably weird about him.
After all, he was facing three very young children, and Schiller spoke his lines in a very gentle tone. But it was this gentle tone that intensified the conflicting feelings in him, making people feel chilling.
There is one shot in particular, which was shot from behind the three little mages, as if imitating the first-person perspective of the three people.
The three children were short, and from their angle, they could see Schiller's eyes completely under his brows. When the pair of gray eyes turned over, the cameraman seemed to be stunned for a moment, and it took several seconds before he remembered to shake the camera down.
"This is a bad edit! A pure bad edit!" Schiller sent a message in the crew group, followed by a series of angry red faces.
"What's wrong?" Wanda replied, "Is there anything wrong with your test shot, doctor? My shot is pretty good."
After that, she sent a video file. Schiller clicked it and saw that, coincidentally, one of Wanda's scenes was also shot in the school hospital. It was when the heroine was injured and Wanda came to visit her as a professor.
In Wanda's audition, she was really kind and gentle, exuding a gentle and intellectual temperament. Her long, shiny red hair made her look like a goddess in a myth. When he held the heroine in his arms, it was like painting a picture of the Virgin Mary's coming.
Schiller was immediately speechless. It seemed that this was indeed his own problem.
It seems that each of them only received their own audition footage. Strange also sent his. Although the temporary set of the principal's office was very simple, it was able to fully reflect his wisdom and majesty. The crew members were also very supportive, praising them for their good image and acting skills.
Others also posted their own footage one after another, and the atmosphere in the group became lively. Then Chris, as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, @ Schiller in the group and asked him to send his audition footage as well.
Schiller was extremely reluctant, but since everyone else had posted it, and other people in the crew were encouraging him, Schiller had no choice but to post the video file.
The group was silent for three full minutes.
However, the small creative group of directors and screenwriters are probably refreshing the screen at a rate of five posts per second.
"Let's change the script." Strange also circled the director and said, "Why not let our Dr. Schiller be the final villain."
"We are considering it," Chris replied. "But the screenwriter and I agree that Dr. Schiller's image is more suitable for long-term creation. It would be a bit of a waste to only be a villain in one movie. It would be better to lay the groundwork in the first movie and leave enough suspense until the last few movies..."
The group was discussing enthusiastically, and Schiller could only sigh, turn off his phone, and lament his future fate in public opinion.
Although he has gained some fame on the short video platform, his popularity is actually brought by superheroes. As an ordinary person among a bunch of superheroes, his image is still relatively positive. Many netizens put themselves in his shoes, and even if there are jokes, they are all harmless jokes.
But judging from his performance in this film, his reputation is likely to plummet. Schiller has already considered canceling his short video platform account.
After a night of rest, the producer was supposed to gather everyone to go to Massachusetts the next day. The actors checked into the hotel, adjusted their status and memorized their lines, and the staff made final preparations for the start of filming.
But when Schiller's plane landed and the shuttle bus was almost at the hotel entrance, the producer suddenly notified him that he didn't need to go to the shooting site.
It was drizzling today, and Schiller stood in front of the French window of the hotel waiting for news. He originally thought that the work was delayed due to the weather, but the rain stopped for more than two hours, and there was no notice to resume work. Schiller instinctively felt that something was wrong.
It’s not that he is so enthusiastic about filming, the key is that it is related to the subsequent plans of the magic school, and it’s better not to go wrong.
After waiting for a long time, Schiller decided to call Strange at the filming site. As a result, he heard the bad news on the phone:
"Around 6 o'clock this morning, a group of environmentalists suddenly came to demonstrate near the castle. The producer couldn't reach an agreement with them, and the local police were ineffective, so the filming had to be postponed temporarily."
"Environmentalists? Didn't you show them the geological testing and energy analysis results?"
"You think they can understand that?"
"Oh, I see. You mean the people who care least about the environment, right?"
"Yes. The producer told me that they might have been sent by the senator."
"But now that Congress has basically compromised, why is he still singing a different tune? Does he want money?"
"I'm afraid so. About half an hour ago, the producer received a call from a local entertainment company in Massachusetts. I forgot what it was called, but it was a small company. They said they wanted to invest in this movie and get a share of the box office revenue."
"Just invest," Shiller said.
"The problem is that the investment ratio is unreasonable." Strange said helplessly, "They just want to spend a little money and take most of the profits. And they also want to put someone in the movie. It seems to be the niece of that congressman, an 18th-tier celebrity."
Strange sighed and continued, "If we don't agree to their exorbitant demands, they will continue to harass us with environmental issues and say they will expose us for polluting the local nature reserve."
“It sounds like a very mature industry chain.”
"Yes, it's quite mature. Not to mention the film companies, even Harvard and MIT in Massachusetts have been troubled by them. Professors who specialize in environmental analysis and geology can't do anything about them. Now our producer is trying to coordinate, but I don't think there is much hope."
"Your first priority now is to keep an eye on the mages, especially the young mages," Schiller stressed. "Once they can't help but want to attack those environmentalists, it will really cause a big mess."
Strange took a breath and hung up the phone in a hurry. Schiller heard a commotion coming from the other side, but he was not sure what was going on. After hanging up the phone, he felt a little uneasy. Anyway, the rain stopped, so Schiller flew over there directly with the gray mist.
When we got there, we found it was a mess. A group of people were gathered at the castle gate, two ambulances were parked on the side of the road, and we could hear the sound of a dispute.
Schiller's heart kept sinking, so much so that when he walked over and found a red-haired figure lying on the stretcher, he was a little dazed.
Wait, why is Wanda lying here? Eternity broke in???
Strange, who was standing nearby, winked at him, and the two of them walked around to the other side of the castle. Strange lowered his voice and said, "Take a video with your phone and send it to your account later."
"What's going on?" Schiller asked.
"What are we doing here?"
"Filming?"
Strange clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Good actors start performing long before the filming starts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a car on the side of the road braked suddenly and Jarvis ran over here in a hurry. Then several other cars also stopped nearby, and people who pushed open the car doors were carrying long guns and short guns, and instantly surrounded Wanda.
Schiller vaguely heard Wanda's voice coming from the other side:
"I really... I really can't believe it... Just because I'm a mutant... This is so terrible... I miss my two children so much now..."
Then Schiller learned from Strange what had happened.
To put it simply, when Schiller was worried about something happening in the hotel, Wanda was so worried that she drove directly to the scene to check.
When Wanda arrived, the environmentalists had no idea what was wrong with them, and they had to rush into the castle even though a group of wizards were blocking the door. The wizards didn't dare to use magic on them, and the situation was already precarious.
Wanda rushed over and shouted at everyone to leave. But the gang seemed to have a hold on them and they didn't dare to take action. They just rolled around outside and cursed as badly as they could.
Can Wanda's temper be tolerated by them? The witch lady was so angry that her eyes were spitting fire. Fortunately, she was stopped by Strange, otherwise everyone present would have to go to see Chaos.
However, the director and producer who had retired from the front line found them at this time and made a plan, which was to touch the porcelain.
Wanda and Jarvis' couple account is doing very well, and she has a group of loyal mutants and fans who sympathize with mutants, and she is even a top internet celebrity. If Wanda is injured, after Wanda's fans spread the news, the focus of the matter will no longer be on the environment, but will definitely be diverted to the field of mutant discrimination.
So Wanda deliberately took two steps forward, and during the pushing and shoving, Scarlet Witch fell down gorgeously, directly pulling the opponents into the area she was best at, ready to defeat them with her rich experience.
