Chapter 3650: Film Project (Part 14)

The atmosphere in the cinema became hot immediately. They could be said to have watched this great building being built on the internet with their own eyes. Many film critics called this "the Milan Cathedral in movie history." Now seeing this building with their own eyes on the big screen, it was really hard to hide their inner excitement.

Because this Gothic ancient castle looked even more magnificent in the lens: symmetrical left and right, gorgeous decorations. Almost all materials flickered with faint magic brilliance, forming a sharp contrast with other ordinary buildings in Massachusetts in the background, almost immediately pulling people into a fantasy atmosphere.

And as the small boats rowed by the students got closer and closer to the castle, the expectation was also pulled full. And when the big auditorium appeared on the screen, there was another gasp mixed with screams—the atmosphere here didn't disappoint anyone. This was the magic world they wanted to see!

Actually, the actors didn't participate in post-editing work after killing the scene, and they didn't watch the sample film either. So when the scene inside the auditorium appeared, the actors also gasped slightly.

It had to be said that the lens was a very magical thing: it could make very small things look big, and it could make very big things look magnificent. The original real scene was already very beautiful, but in the lens, it showed a more fantastic and beautiful atmosphere.

And everything seemed more life-like, as if a group of mages had really lived in this ancient academy for thousands of years. The sense of substitution was simply full.

When the professors appeared, it caused a series of gasps: the beautiful and intellectual Wang Da, the kind and amiable Gu Yi, the mysterious Wei En, and the old acquaintance Hippo Goddess. Everyone showed different traits, and everyone's appearance method was very cool. The children in the cinema kept screaming, and even couldn't take care of eating ice cream.

When it came to the sorting link, everyone started a heated discussion. They were all very curious about the difference between these four colleges, and which college they would be sorted into. Seeing the protagonist trio being sorted into different colleges, they were still a bit regretful.

Then it was the main event. Strange, who was the headmaster, stood up, began to warn them, and introduced the professors.

The first few were okay. The moment the lens was given to Wei En, the originally lively atmosphere dropped to freezing point instantly.

Peter choked on cola and coughed. Steve's action of chewing popcorn stiffened. Stark was choked by cheese balls and almost died young. Natasha slid down along the chair. The Avengers in a row were wiped out.

After they slowed down, they turned their heads and looked at Strange on the side in unison. That expression was clearly saying: "This is the insignificant guest role you said Wei En would play?!!"

No matter how you look at it, this is not insignificant!

The film critics in the front row also expressed doubts, not because of Wei En's image, but because this deliberate image shaping looked a bit facial, making people have no surprise.

After Wei En opened his mouth, it was even more creepy. Ke Lisi processed his voice in post-production, making it deeper and hoarser, cooperating with that slow but threatening tone. The movie hadn't even reached one-third, and who was the mastermind behind the scenes seemed to have been revealed.

But soon some smarter film critics realized: Ke Lisi Columbus didn't have this level. This might be a misleading, a smoke bomb he deliberately made to blur the line of sight.

However, looking at the reaction of the children next to him, he knew that his hand was played very successfully. Because this was a children's movie, mainly aimed at children and teenagers. Most of the audience were neither professional nor old enough, and it was easy to be deceived by this kind of narrative trick.

Many film critics started asking their children, and the answers were all "Dr. Barton must be a bad person."

Actually, Wei En himself was a bit surprised. Except for the audition segment sent to them, no one knew what the other movie segments looked like. And Ke Lisi clearly added too many artistic creations about him in the movie. He knew he was a bit scary, but he didn't expect to be so scary in the lens.

Fortunately, Wang Da's two children weren't scared to cry, otherwise there would be no one to sleep in New York tonight.

"Are you serious?" Stark looked at Strange and asked, "You told me Wei En would guest star in it, but are you sure the one guest starring is Wei En?"

"The key problem now is that he is no longer a guest star," Strange said, "He became an important supporting role, the kind only second to the protagonist. If there are no accidents, you should see him in the next few movies."

"I feel it's not that simple," Natasha said, "If he is really a villain, the director would definitely let him appear very gentle at first. Only then will there be a reversal effect when the truth is revealed at the end. And if he appears so fierce at first—forgive me for using this word, but I really can't find other better words—then it shows that he is definitely not a bad person."

"Indeed fierce enough," Stark said, "How do I feel this is also unlike that Hydra? Who is he?"

"Don't look at me, I can't figure it out either," Strange shrugged and said, "Perhaps I can go ask the director. He seems to have some research on this."

Natasha suddenly laughed. As an insider who had truly visited the abyss, she could already imagine the scene at the filming site. She said: "It's a pity I can't use magic, otherwise I would also want to guest star. That way I could see you jumping up and down when Wei En's other personality traits come out."

"You're right about this," Strange curled his lips and said, "Ke Lisi only has his great artistic dream in his mind, not caring about the life and death of our actors at all. He also added an extra scene of Wei En coming to the headmaster's office to find me. I mean, this Wei En you see, shared a room with me, and I had to stand in that narrow lens range, face to face with him. Ke Lisi kept reminding me to stand forward, stand forward. He himself hid far away!"

Natasha laughed until she hammered the chair in front. Then she heard Peter say: "Fortunately, I don't have spider sense anymore, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hear anything next. I also want to know how those students who were attacked are doing."

Immediately after was a section of ordinary campus daily life. Accompanied by the main line of investigating student attacks, it mainly showed the campus life of the students, including classes, homework, and school activities. The plot entered a stable and soothing stage.

This stage of the plot was more inclined to youth campus dramas, showing the vitality of the students, and also explained to the audience how magic roughly operated, making people have an understanding of the basic worldview.

The movie didn't choose to hide the fact that the essence of magic was lending, and even emphasized the precautions for contracts. There were also senior students coming to show them the magic that could be cast after gaining power.

However, the movie did beautify the cosmic demons. They explained demons as concepts and rules in the universe, weakened their humanity, and explained them as some kind of natural existence. This made it much easier for the audience to accept.

However, they also mentioned that there were many personal gods in the universe. These gods were powerful and dangerous, and the King of Hell Mephisto was the leader among them. This was foreshadowing for the plot of the next few parts.

Then the plot came to a small climax. That was the protagonist group discovering the traces of vampires, chasing them into the forest, but getting hurt. The heroine who was hurt the most came to the school infirmary. They didn't want to cause trouble, so they begged the school doctor who helped them treat to help them hide it.

Wei En appeared again, still full of pressure, even more than in the audition lens. Because after all, it was greed during the audition, but it was pathological during formal filming. It could only be said that the three little mages' trembling appearance didn't look like acting.

This immediately hung everyone's appetite. The protagonist group finally had some clues, but they were hurt and lay in the school infirmary, and happened to meet this difficult school doctor. It looked really unlucky.

Sure enough, the school doctor's attitude was not good, and he didn't even wait for the protagonist's injury to heal before driving them out. Many children were very angry, but parents showed some helplessness.

Standing from the adult's perspective, the protagonist group was really too bold. They dared to chase dangerous creatures into the forest, and being hurt was light, if they continued to hide it for them, let them continue to make such death, I'm afraid they would lose their lives.

But parents also didn't understand why the Dr. Barton played by Wei En drove them out when the protagonist's illness hadn't healed. Reporting is reporting, at least the illness should be cured first, right?

Then the plot rhythm began to speed up. The protagonist group quickly found clues, but these clues all pointed to one person, and that was the school doctor played by Wei En.

For example, professors all had very strict class arrangements, basically all had alibis, but the school doctor didn't have a shift schedule. And often disappeared for a whole afternoon. For example, his face was pale, his figure was thin. The color of his eyes was too special, it looked like it was changed by magic, as if he was covering up something. For example, he came from the Mercury College, which didn't have a good reputation. The same-grade students of this college caused a lot of trouble for the protagonist group, making them feel more that those from this college were despicable and cunning black wizards.

One by one, evidence and the discussions of the protagonists were presented in front of the audience. Relatively rational adults also began to waver, let alone children, they were simply indignant, waving their fists, wanting to see how the protagonist group defeated this damn vampire.

Stark supported his cheek with his finger and said: "I always feel that things are not that simple..."

"Sheltering out of selfishness?"

"Of course not. But I understand that if the director lets him play a villain role that might be attacked by the whole network, then he might assassinate the director before filming starts. Or find him a 500-year black job in some Andromeda galaxy, so that he can't return to Earth until the human film industry develops to the next stage."

Others were speechless.
