Chapter 3647: Film Project (Part 11)

There was actually only one scene on the train, but it was still stumbled and acted for most of the day. Don't look at Director Ke Lisi smiling on weekdays, but actually, the requirements were very high. It was re-filmed dozens of times before finally filming the effect he wanted. Even if the little mages had a good body, they were exhausted.

After lunch and a nap, Wang Da also returned. The whole afternoon was filming the sorting scene. Because this link didn't use magic, and there weren't so many little mages to be group performers, so some ordinary children were found to be group performers. Seven or eight hundred children stayed in one venue, and the scene almost became uncontrollable.

The little mages were okay. Although Kamar-Taj was relatively simple, there were still many magic elements. They were accustomed to some fantastic scenes.

But ordinary children were different, especially some ordinary children who were children of local residents, not even having left Massachusetts. Suddenly seeing such a big castle and such a gorgeous auditorium, the whole person was completely stunned, and then it was crazy running and screaming.

Massachusetts law had regulations that children couldn't be left alone in the adult workplace, so the children's parents had to come in. But they also had no resistance to such a scene, grabbing the child with one hand and starting to shoot with the other, simply turning it into a large garden party.

The important actors were a bit speechless, but it seemed that the producer was used to it. He directly gave three hours for them to go crazy, and after the excitement of the children and parents had passed, most people were tired and finally could sit honestly in their seats.

There were still many people looking around curiously, whispering to the people next to them, but this didn't go out of character. After all, children of this age in real life couldn't sit honestly either, and some small movements instead looked more real.

Then it was a long filming. When it came to the real thing, Director Ke Lisi didn't get used to anyone. The posture of walking, the action of holding a cup, every look and expression, and the pause of the lines were all corrected repeatedly. If it wasn't filmed well, he wouldn't let it pass.

It just so happened that Wei En had quite a lot of scenes in this scene. After filming the sorting of the little mages and Strange finished speaking, he began to introduce each professor. Other professors had no lines and waited to be introduced. Wei En had a section of lines here to warn them to pay attention to safety, and it was an important line for foreshadowing subsequent plots. Wei En really didn't have much bottom in his heart.

Strange, wearing the Sorcerer Supreme uniform, walked to the table and paced, began to introduce the glorious history of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the professors, and finally pointed to Wei En's name:

"This is our school doctor, Dr. Barton, his name is Eldritch Barton."

Strange turned his head to look at Wei En. Wei En stood up.

"You can call me Dr. Eldritch directly. I have saved the lives of countless students in this school, but I don't hope that this number will increase again. Especially this year, before the arrival of the freshmen, several lower-grade students have already gone home to suspend school due to strange blood diseases. I don't hope that you..."

"Stop!" Director Ke Lisi on the side shouted. Wei En had to turn his head to look at him.

"Don't be so sorrowful, Dr. Wei En. Yes, I know, as a doctor, you should show worry for the students, but you can't show too much worry. You should show impatience, warning them not to increase your workload. Understand?"

Wei En opened his mouth, he actually didn't understand. You want to say that there were a lot of high school students sitting underneath, that would be fine, the key was the little mages in the front row, the older ones were only ten years old, and the smaller ones were only seven or eight years old, some sitting in chairs, their feet couldn't touch the ground. How was he supposed to threaten this group of children?

And he was a school doctor, wasn't the duty of a school doctor to treat children? Then if they wouldn't get sick, wouldn't he have no work? If he was unemployed, wouldn't he have no money to earn?

Touching his conscience, although Wei En's medical fees were high, his medical ethics were quite good. If he took the money, he really did the work, you don't care whether he used orthodox medical means or not, anyway, he could definitely cure you, which could be called medicine to the disease, and the hand to the spring.

And the doctors he knew were basically quite dedicated. Although Strange had a bad temper, he really did surgery, his interns arranged 15 surgeries for him a day, and he could finish them all. God really didn't give him these hands in vain.

Plus, in most cases, Wei En was still relatively patient. Otherwise, just like the situation where hundreds of children were running around in front of him and chattering around him for autographs, someone without patience could be annoyed to death.

Wei En sighed and had to try again. As a result, Ke Lisi was still dissatisfied, insisting that he should be tougher, only then could the protagonist and the audience misunderstand him together. Wei En swore that he had tried his best, but after trying three or four takes, he still didn't pass, and he was a bit annoyed. He could see that Ke Lisi was trying to anger him, but he really didn't have such a big temper.

Seeing that it was dark, the little mages underneath were sleepy and crooked, and Strange was about to go crazy. Wei En had stood for more than an hour, and he was really a bit unbearable, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: change people!

Of course, it wasn't that he wouldn't act, but he could let other personality traits take the shift. You don't want fierce ones? I'll find you the fiercest one!

Start filming again. Wei En first sat back in the chair, after a short dispersion, his eyes changed. When the lens shot his eyes, that gray that was more desolate than usual but more focused made the cameraman's action pause, but the director next to him lit up.

"This is our school doctor, Dr. Barton, his name is... is..."

"Stop!!!" Ke Lisi stood up and roared at Strange who was stuck. "What are you doing!! Recited so many times, didn't remember the name?!!"

Strange didn't answer, still staring at Wei En, and then slowly turned his head and said: "Sorry, let's do it again."

When starting again, he subconsciously took a step back, and was stopped by Ke Lisi again. Ke Lisi slapped the table hard and said: "Where are you going?! You're almost out of the lens!! Is such a big place not enough for you to stand?!!"

Strange could only stand back to the original position helplessly. He saw that Wei En had changed people, so he really didn't want to stand here now.

"This is our school doctor, Dr. Barton, his name is... Eldritch Barton..."

Wei En didn't stand up, just sat in the original position, reached out to straighten the school badge hanging on the academic robe, and the other hand picked up a fork and tapped the cup wall lightly. The crisp sound made the field quiet.

"Hello everyone, I am Dr. Barton, and I will spend a few years with you next. You can come to me if you have any health problems... Oh, perhaps I forgot to tell you, this year, three of your seniors have already said goodbye to Ilvermorny. If you also want to follow them, continue not to take your safety seriously."

Wei En didn't show the irritability and impatience that Ke Lisi wanted, and even the speed of speaking was slower than just now, appearing careless, like saying it casually. But after he finished speaking, the field was quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

"Cut!" Ke Lisi waved his fist hard. "Very perfect! Just like this! This is the feeling I want!... Stephen and Wang Da, why are you standing so far away? Hurry back to the lens, we still have to continue filming later!"

After filming the scenes in the auditorium, the little mages had to go to the lake next to them to film the rowing scene. That's right, Strange still didn't delete the rowing link, and this wasn't even in the script, but Strange strongly requested that it must be added, so the director and screenwriter added it for him.

The rowing scene was another mess, and it was late at night when it was finished. The crew sent the actors back to the hotel, while the director group started reviewing the film overnight, picking out the problematic parts so that they could be re-filmed the next day.

As a famous director, Ke Lisi had precise control over emotions. He looked at the conversion of Wei En's expressions on the computer screen and said with some doubt: "Why do I feel this is a bit unlike him?"

"I also feel a bit strange," the deputy director said while sitting next to him, "Actually, you can see that when you let him be irritable, he is quite unwilling, and can't enter the state for a long time. This is the drawback of non-professional actors, when letting them play roles that are different from their personalities, they can't control their reactions with professional skills, which will lead to many takes not passing. I thought we wouldn't be able to finish this scene today."

Ke Lisi hugged his arms and said: "This part behind him doesn't look like it was acted out, but like he changed a person directly... Personality split?"

"Impossible, he is a psychologist." The deputy director said, "Psychologists also have to do regular psychological checks, if there is a problem, they can't practice, right?"

"That would be discovered only if they couldn't control themselves, but he is clearly switching actively. Actively switching his personality according to the scene that needs to be adapted... I have inspiration!" Ke Lisi suddenly raised his tone.

He took a script from the side, started to write and draw in the blank space, and then started calling the screenwriter who had already left. The two had already completely immersed themselves in the atmosphere of artistic creation, not knowing what the world was.

So on the next morning, Wei En, who had just woken up, received a new script again, which was completely different from the previous version, and thicker.

Wei En sat on the edge of the bed speechless. He finally understood why actors and psychologists have to charge on time—he just accepted the character setting of the previous script yesterday, and memorized the lines almost, how come a brand new version came today?!

Can your director group unify opinions internally first, figure out who I am, and then come to film the movie?

Opening the script, Wei En was even more dark in front of his eyes. He grabbed the director's number, dialed it, and roared at that side: "That's not called personality split, that's called dissociative identity disorder!!!"

Then he suddenly reacted, looked at the script and said: "You mean the school doctor has dissociative identity disorder, he has a good personality and a bad personality, so he performed inconsistently?!"

Ke Lisi talked endlessly on the other end of the phone. Wei En listened while looking at the script, and then he found a key point—this bad personality of the school doctor was the one who contracted the King of Hell Mephisto decades ago and helped Mephisto invade Earth, known as the most brutal black wizard, Saphir!

This is not Snape anymore, changed to Voldemort, right?! ===== CHAPTER 3648 =====
