Chapter 3661 Movie Plan (XIV)
The atmosphere in the theater immediately became heated. They could be said to have watched this great building being built on the Internet. Many film critics called it "the Milan Cathedral in the history of film." Now seeing this building on the big screen, it is hard to hide the excitement in their hearts.
Because this Gothic castle looks even more magnificent in the lens: symmetrical and ornately decorated. Almost all materials are shining with a faint magical glow, which is in sharp contrast to other ordinary buildings in Massachusetts in the background, and almost immediately pulls people into a fantasy atmosphere.
As the students rowed their boats closer and closer to the castle, their anticipation grew. When the Great Hall appeared, there was another round of exclamations mixed with screams - the atmosphere here did not disappoint anyone. This was the magical world they wanted to see!
In fact, the actors did not participate in post-production editing after the filming was completed, and they had not seen the sample film. So when the scene inside the auditorium appeared, the actors also exclaimed a little.
I have to say that the lens is a magical thing: it can make small things look big, and big things look magnificent. The original real scene is already very beautiful, but under the lens it shows a more fantastic and beautiful atmosphere.
And everything seems more lifelike, as if there really is a group of magicians who have lived in this ancient academy for thousands of years. The sense of immersion is simply full.
The professors caused a series of exclamations when they appeared on stage: the beautiful and intellectual Wanda, the kind and gentle Ancient One, the mysterious Schiller, and the old acquaintance Hippopotamus Goddess. Each of them showed their unique characteristics, and the way each of them appeared was very cool. The children in the theater kept screaming and didn't even have time to eat their ice cream.
When it came to the division, everyone started a heated discussion. They were all curious about the differences between the four colleges and which one they would be assigned to. They felt a little sorry to see the three protagonists being assigned to different colleges.
Then came the climax. Strange, the headmaster, stood up and began to instruct them and introduce the professors.
The first few were fine, but the moment the camera turned to Schiller, the originally lively atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.
Peter coughed on his Coke. Steve froze while chewing popcorn. Stark nearly died young after getting stuck in a cheese ball. Natasha slid down her chair. A row of Avengers was wiped out.
After they recovered, they all turned to look at Strange on the side. Their expressions clearly said, "Is this what you meant by Schiller playing an insignificant cameo role?!"
No matter how you look at it, this is not insignificant!
The film critics in the front row also raised doubts, not because of Schiller's image, but because this deliberate image creation looks a bit stereotyped. It's as if "I am a bad guy" is written on his face, which makes people feel no surprise.
When Schiller spoke afterwards, it was even more creepy. Chris processed his voice in post-production, making it deeper and hoarser, and matched it with the slow but threatening tone. Before the film was even a third of the way through, it seemed clear who was the real murderer behind the scenes.
But soon some smarter critics realized that Chris Columbus was not just this level. This might be a misleading trick, a deliberate attempt by him to blur the view.
But judging from the reaction of the children next to him, he succeeded in this trick. Because this is a children's movie, it is mainly aimed at children and teenagers. Most of the audience are neither professional nor young, and they are easily deceived by this narrative trick.
Many film critics began asking their own children, and the answer they got was unanimous: "Dr. Barton must be a bad guy."
In fact, Schiller himself was a little surprised. Apart from the audition clips sent to them, no one knew what the rest of the film clips would look like. And Chris obviously added too much artistic creativity to the part about him. He knew he was a little scary, but he didn't expect it to be so scary under the camera.
Fortunately, Wanda’s two children were not scared and cried, otherwise no one in New York would be able to sleep tonight.
"Are you serious?" Stark looked at Strange and asked, "You told me Schiller would make a cameo appearance in it, but are you sure it was Schiller who made the cameo appearance?"
"The key issue now is that he is no longer a cameo," Strange said. "He has become an important supporting role, almost second only to the protagonist. If nothing unexpected happens, you should see him in the next few movies."
“I don’t think it’s that simple,” Natasha said. “If he is really a villain, the director will definitely make him act very gentle at the beginning. This way, there will be a reversal effect when the truth is revealed in the end. And if he acts so vicious at the beginning - forgive me for using this word, but I really can’t find any other better word - then it means he is definitely not a bad guy.”
"It's really vicious," Stark said, "Why do I feel that this is not like that Hydra? Who is he?"
"Don't look at me. I don't understand either," Strange shrugged and said, "Maybe I can ask the director. He seems to know something about it."
Natasha suddenly laughed. As someone who had actually visited the Abyss, she could already imagine the scene at the shooting. She said, "It's a pity that I don't know magic, otherwise I would have played a cameo role. Then I could see you jumping up and down when Schiller's other personality traits appeared."
"That's right," Strange said with a sneer. "Chris only has his great artistic dream in his mind and doesn't care about the life and death of us actors. He even added an extra scene where Schiller comes to the principal's office to find me. I mean, the Schiller you see is in the same room with me, and I have to stand in that narrow camera range, face to face with him. Chris kept reminding me to stand forward, stand forward. But he himself stayed far away!"
Natasha laughed so hard that she pounded the back of the chair in front of her. Then she heard Peter say, "Luckily I don't have my spider sense anymore, or I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hear anything next. I also want to know what happened to the students who were attacked."
Next comes a normal campus life. Along with the main plot of investigating the student attack, the main focus is on showing the campus life of the protagonists, including classes, homework, and school activities. The plot has entered a stable and soothing stage.
The plot of this stage is more like a youth campus drama, showing the vitality of the students, and also explaining to the audience how magic works roughly, giving people an understanding of the basic world view.
The movie did not choose to hide the fact that the essence of magic is borrowing, and even emphasized the various precautions of the contract. There are also seniors who show them the magic they can perform after gaining power.
However, the movie does beautify the cosmic demons. They interpret the demons as concepts and rules in the universe, weakening their humanity and interpreting them as some kind of natural existence. This makes it much easier for the audience to accept.
However, they also mentioned that there are many personal gods in the universe. These gods are powerful and dangerous, and Mephisto, the king of hell, is one of the best. This is paving the way for the plots of the next few parts.
Then the plot reached a small climax. That is, the protagonists found the traces of vampires and chased them into the forest, but they were injured. The most seriously injured heroine came to the school infirmary. They didn't want to cause trouble, so they asked the school doctor who treated them to keep it secret for them.
Schiller appeared again, still full of oppression, even more so than in the audition. After all, during the audition, he was greedy, but during the actual shooting, he was morbid. I can only say that the three little wizards' trembling appearance did not look like acting.
This really whetted everyone's appetite. The protagonists finally got a clue, but they were injured and had to stay in the school clinic, and they happened to run into this difficult school doctor. It seemed like they were really unlucky.
As expected, the school doctor's attitude was not good, and he even kicked them out before the protagonist's injuries were healed. Many children were very angry, but the parents seemed a little helpless.
From an adult's perspective, the protagonists were really a bit reckless. They actually dared to chase dangerous creatures into the forest. Getting injured was the least of their worries. If we cover it up for them and let them continue to do this, they might lose their lives.
But the parents also didn't understand why Dr. Barton, played by Schiller, kicked them out when the protagonist's illness was still not cured. Even if he reported it, he should at least cure the disease, right?
Then the plot pace picked up. The protagonists quickly found clues, but all the clues pointed to one person, the school doctor played by Schiller.
For example, professors have very strict course schedules and almost all of them have alibis, but the school doctor has no schedule. And he often disappears for an entire afternoon. For another example, he is pale and thin. The color of his eyes is too special, it looks like it was changed by magic, as if he is covering up something. For another example, he comes from Mercury College, which has a bad reputation. The same grade students in this college have caused a lot of trouble for the protagonists, making them think that all the students from this college are despicable and cunning black magicians.
One piece of evidence after another and the protagonists' discussions were presented to the audience. Even relatively rational adults began to waver, not to mention the children, who were simply furious and waved their fists, wanting to see how the protagonists would defeat this damn vampire.
Stark propped his cheek with his fingers and said, "I always feel that things are not that simple."
"Out of selfish motives?"
"Of course not. But I understand that if the director asked him to play a villain role that might be attacked by the whole network, he might assassinate the director before filming starts. Or find him a 500-year illegal job in the Centauri galaxy, so that he can't return to Earth until the human film industry develops to the next stage."
The others were speechless.
