Chapter 3652 Movie Plan (5)

Chapter 3652 Movie Plan (V)

"Add more scenes?" Schiller asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to give me more scenes? Is there something wrong with this role?"

"No, it's just that after seeing your appearance, I felt that it would be a waste if you were just an ordinary doctor with a flat personality. Your temperament will bring more mysterious qualities to this role, which is very consistent with people's imagination of magic."

Chris said a lot, but Schiller didn't understand a word. It wasn't that Schiller had a problem with his comprehension ability, but he really didn't know what magic looked like in the eyes of ordinary people like Chris.

The "mysticism" they spoke of was obviously different from the mysticism that Strange and other magicians understood. It was more like the ordinary people's yearning for mysticism. And yearning was the furthest thing from understanding.

Schiller already understood the existence of magic, and had dealt with many wizards and cosmic demons. In his eyes, these existences had no secrets. But Chris and the others obviously had another understanding of magic, an unrealistic fantasy.

This fantasy sounds very beautiful and is very suitable for presentation in movies, but it is so far from the truth that Schiller, who knows the truth, is somewhat confused.

Apparently, he wasn't the only one in this situation. Not far away, the screenwriter was pulling Strange along, describing to the Sorcerer Supreme what the "magic world" was like, with saliva flying all over his body. Strange was stunned by what he heard.

"Okay, I don't mind if you give me more roles," Schiller said, "but don't affect the main storyline. I don't want people to say I brought money into the production."

"Don't worry," Chris said with a smile, "It's just a change in the character setting. It makes a relatively one-sided character three-dimensional and adds a sense of reality. It won't steal the show from others."

Schiller nodded and saw Strange coming from a distance. He was obviously one of the two people who had decided on the look, wearing the Sorcerer Supreme uniform and dyeing his sideburns white.

Strange stroked his temples and said, "They said that if I were to become a principal, I would need to look more mature. What do you think?"

"Not bad," Schiller nodded. He sincerely felt that the white sideburns did add a bit of stability to Strange's temperament, and it was different from his previous image, making him look more like a wizard.

"I heard that there is another person who has finished the look. Who is it?"

"It looks like Wanda. She's the first one here. She should be over there. Shall we go over and see her?"

Schiller nodded, and the two of them walked to the other side of the dressing room. It was actually very large, with various dressing tables and shelves in the middle. Many people walked in and out of it, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

After they passed a lot of things and finally saw Wanda on the other side, they both exclaimed.

"Oh, God." Schiller looked at Wanda and said, "It's amazing, ma'am, you look like a goddess from ancient Greek mythology, Aphrodite?"

Wanda was floating in the air at this time, but not too high, just slightly off the ground, with her arms outstretched to make it easier for the stylist to style her.

She was also wearing an academic gown, but the texture was lighter, closer to silk, and it floated slightly under the effect of magic. Her red hair had become longer, almost dragging on the ground, and the slightly curly hair exuded a faint luster, which when spread out reminded people of the brilliant purple-red star clusters in the universe.

The glasses on her face make her look more intellectual. Whether it is the scroll in her left hand or the staff in her right hand, they are all shining with strange light and full of strong magical atmosphere. Anyone who sees this look will definitely think that she is a powerful and beautiful female wizard.

Because someone else was adjusting the hem of her clothes, Wanda didn't move, but just smiled at the two of them. Schiller waved at her.

"She looks more like the Sorcerer Supreme than you do." Schiller looked at Strange and said.

"That's because I didn't turn on the special effects," Strange snorted, "If I could turn on the full power..."

"Then you look like a demon invading the earth."

Strange was speechless.

The advantage of Wanda's image is that she does not need any exaggerated lights or special effects to have a strong mystical temperament. To be precise, she is the real synonym of mysticism, because even she herself does not understand the principle of the scarlet power, and has no desire to explore it, just using it as if it were instinct. This makes her look effortless, which can satisfy the audience's desire that "magic should be free and easy".

Schiller went around to the other side and saw a few people sitting on chairs getting their makeup done. Xu Shangqi was the first to wave to him. He had just put on his wig and the makeup artist was reshaping his eyebrows.

Xu Shangqi is set to be a magician from the East, so he has long hair, a crown and a hairpin. The styling team seems to have someone knowledgeable, and the oriental styling looks quite orthodox.

The hippopotamus goddess sat on the chair in the middle, with three or four stylists surrounding her, hanging earrings on her ears. She was on a video call with her daughter, laughing loudly from time to time.

Obviously she was welcomed by everyone. The screenwriter sat in the chair next to her to discuss the script with her, the director was studying her staff, and there was even a makeup artist who was specially mixing blush suitable for hippopotamus' skin and was experimenting with her arm.

Ancient One, who was sitting on the chair at the edge, was yawning. He was an old man with a long white beard, wearing a blue wizard robe and a pointed wizard hat with a star pattern printed on it, and he looked almost exactly like the manga in the original book.

There were several makeup artists squatting in front of him, helping him braid his beard. Although his beard was very long, it was combed very smooth with magic, so it was easy to take care of, but it took some time to braid it into a style.

"Which universe's Ancient One is this?" Schiller asked.

"Helen's friend, uh, is Doctor Strange, the one who played with time and nearly destroyed his own universe."

Schiller nodded, and when he heard the door calling for lunch, the employees went out in twos and threes. Schiller was not particularly hungry, so he got a sandwich and ate it by the window.

While he was having lunch, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello? Oh, you have the result? OK, I'll get it later. Thank you!"

Then he walked to the table next to him and sat down, and said to Strange, "The results of the magic energy sent for analysis are out. Harvard experts said that under normal circumstances, the electromagnetic radiation of this energy is very small, about the same as ordinary electronic products used in daily life, and has no effect on soil and groundwater. However, if magic is used, the energy should be in an activated state, and it is unknown whether there will be any changes."

"As long as it is in an inactive state, it will be fine. After the school building is completed, I will add a small protective shield to the school. The principle is similar to the magic defense network. The energy of the magic defense network is usually in an inactive state, and it can also isolate the activated magic energy in the school to avoid pollution to the environment."

Schiller nodded and said, "I heard that the materials for building the school have been almost collected. How do you plan to transport them there? Use a portal?"

"The mages' personal portals are too small, and some large stones cannot be transported in. But if we build a large portal, it will be too conspicuous. So we still use the old method."

"The old way?"

"Those within the atmosphere will be transported directly by the air transport system, and those outside the atmosphere will be pulled over by mages."

"Isn't this too much trouble?" Schiller said after taking a bite of his sandwich. "The stones we got from Asgard are not light. When will we be able to move them there?"

"That can't be helped. We have to follow the Land Management Act. At most, I'll just have to work harder these few days and make more trips."

"Have you ever considered a more convenient method?" Schiller stroked his chin and said, "Don't you have a storage bag or something?"

"Yes, but as you said, the building materials Asgard got are too big and have all kinds of magical properties. They are really hard to install. It's better to just move them."

"I have an idea," Schiller suddenly had an idea and said, "What do you think of the Devourer?"

"What beast?"

"The Devourer is my cat. Wanda has several of them, and Tony has adopted one, but Nick seems to have some left. You can go ask him, or just borrow Gugu. They can move a lot of things at once."

"I almost forgot if you hadn't told me," Strange said, "These things look exactly like cats. I always thought they were kittens on Earth."

"It's almost the same," Schiller sighed. "It still meows and sheds all the time, scratching my new sofa in the nursing home beyond recognition. And the noise it makes when it spits out hairballs is like a tsunami..."

"Then it seems I have no chance of getting it," Strange said. "I absolutely cannot stand even a speck of cat hair on my clothes."

"Then you're in trouble. Since the day I adopted it, my clothes have always been covered with cat hair, and it must have gotten on your clothes too," Schiller said gloatingly.

"Oh, come on." Strange showed a disgusted expression, "Then help me find Nick, I don't want to have close contact with those furry monsters."

After lunch, Schiller first flew to Harvard using gray fog to get the test report, and then called Nick to ask him to contact Captain Marvel and borrow Captain Marvel's pet beast Gugu to serve as a porter.

The highlight was the afternoon, because they had to audition. Simply put, they sat in front of the camera and performed a short segment to see if there were any problems with their looks in the camera and whether they could handle basic acting.

In the afternoon, the three young leading actors also came. They looked young, even younger than those in Harry Potter, probably in the second or third grade of elementary school. In addition, there were some minor supporting roles as classmates.

After the children arrived, things got even more chaotic. Every adult in the crew became a sheepdog, either catching the children or on the way to catching them. The whole studio was filled with exclamations, laughter, and scolding from the adults.

Every young actor wanted an autograph, running over here to find Strange, then running over there to find Schiller, and after signing, they wanted to take photos, and after taking photos, they wanted to take a short video together. The stagehands had a hard time getting them all to put on makeup.

After being surrounded and chattered for half an hour, Schiller finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he had already anticipated that the following filming might not be peaceful.

During the audition, the leading actors auditioned first, and the supporting actors like Schiller watched from the side. Although the children were very noisy when they first came, they performed very well.

Now they are auditioning for the scene where the trio first met. Coincidentally, director Chris still chose to let the young wizards go to school by train. This was not a suggestion from Strange or Schiller, but was purely their own idea.

This is actually because the trains in Massachusetts are very unique. The train passing through Somerville, Massachusetts, will first pass through the lush forest, and then cross the bridge of the river. The clear water reflects the blue sky and the speeding train, full of fantasy and romanticism.

So in director Chris's setting, the way for all the little wizards in the United States to go to school is to go to Boston first, and then go to Ilvermorny Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the corner of Mount Greylock through the Boston train station.
