Chapter 3794

~11 min read 2,144 words

Night Owl felt Schiller's cold attitude, and his heart sank. He warned himself not to be anxious, so he didn't say anything, nodded and went to the ward next door.

Schiller felt a bit strange: this guy obviously had something on his mind, and was aiming at him, but he was driven away so easily. Are there Batmen with such thin skin in the multiverse?

Schiller was too lazy to care about him, he still had a pile of lines to memorize. Just as he was about to focus his attention on the lines again, the Arkham Batman pushed the door out from upstairs.

"I have something to do, so I'll go first, Doctor." The Arkham Batman left from the office.

Schiller shook his head helplessly and didn't pay attention. But Night Owl in the ward next door saw the Arkham Batman walking out of the office, and immediately became nervous.

His guess was indeed correct, it must be this guy who wanted to win over Schiller, and said something to Schiller, otherwise Schiller wouldn't be so unwelcoming to him. Thinking of the progress that appeared on the main universe Batman's side, he couldn't sit still at all.

He came to Schiller's office again, dragged him to inquire about magic, one sentence here and one sentence there, looking left and right, making Schiller very annoyed.

This script was already hard to memorize, and Mephisto especially loved to come to him to play scenes. If he let this old devil know that he hadn't memorized the lines, he would definitely go to Chris to sue him. Chris wasn't easy to mess with, he had to memorize most of the inner scenes tonight.

But Night Owl's butt was like growing on a bench, he wouldn't leave even if he had nothing to say. Schiller was also worried about the script leaking, didn't dare to look at the script while chatting with him, and could only sit here and boil time.

He wanted to drive Night Owl out, but he also took a salary to be a school doctor, so it wasn't good to do nothing. Night Owl insisted on doing psychological counseling, and he couldn't drive people away directly.

Just like this, he ground until lunchtime, Schiller wanted to use eating lunch as an excuse to slip away, but Night Owl still wouldn't let him go, and insisted on inviting him to have lunch together.

Seeing Night Owl and Schiller walking into the cafeteria together, the main universe Batman's eyebrows moved. He looked at the Arkham Batman.

"I did it on purpose." The Arkham Batman said, "Although letting him have more contact with Dr. Schiller might have accidents, but if you let Dr. Schiller be annoyed by him, it would be too beneficial for us."

"The doctor looks really annoyed." The main universe Batman said, "It seems they have no common topics."

"We have no common topics with him." The Arkham Batman said, "He is not a professor, and he has nothing to talk about with people like Batman who are incurable but refuse to take medicine. The longer they spend together, the more annoyed they get."

The Adventure Batman walked over, sat next to the main universe Batman and asked him: "How is your forgery?"

"It should be completed tomorrow morning." The main universe Batman said, "I will get up early tomorrow morning and put the book in the library. It should be tomorrow night at the earliest that Night Owl will go to check the information."

"What did you write on it?" The Arkham Batman cut a piece of meat and said. He didn't believe the main universe Batman didn't dig a hole in the illustrated handbook.

"Some interesting things, not worth mentioning." The main universe Batman smiled and said.

In the afternoon, the door of the school infirmary office was knocked again, Schiller looked up and found it was a person wearing a duckbill cap.

"Doctor, we are having a meeting to play scenes tomorrow morning. This is the schedule, the director and producer will all come, don't be late."

Schiller nodded, took the schedule from his hand and looked at it. The starting time wasn't too early, just stuck in the students' class time. However, it might be to avoid affecting normal teaching activities, the location of the scene playing was placed in the library.

Chris is a director with high requirements. Before official filming, he will require actors to gather together for communication and scene playing. This is actually a necessary process in general movie filming, but the scale can be large or small.

Because filming and teaching have to be carried out at the same time, the communication meeting is combined into one, part by part. The first scene tomorrow is a relatively important scene playing for the protagonists, and the second scene is for the supporting roles. The time has been coordinated and does not conflict with the teaching time.

Schiller still has rival scenes with the little mages, which is actually the little mages coming to the school infirmary to consult him when investigating the potion, and he deliberately has a bad attitude towards the little mages to keep them away from him, and even scares them. There are quite a few lines in this part, and Schiller basically spent the whole afternoon memorizing lines.

Although it might be a pathological performance by then, it definitely couldn't rely on the pathological self to memorize words. Their memory is common, so it can only be done by him.

In order to remember more firmly, Schiller also reviewed it several times, and even wrote it down once, tossing until late at night, and then slept until dawn.

The time to get up was just right, Schiller tidied up, took the magic hat and staff needed for filming the movie, and also took some medicine jars and such to make a temporary set, and then went towards the library.

When he went over, there were two mages guarding the corridor. The mages nodded at him. Schiller asked with some curiosity: "Why are you two here? Do you have scenes today?"

"Oh, no." The female mage smiled and said, "We have to add a prohibition to the library corridor to prevent unrelated people from breaking in and hearing the script content, leading to spoilers."

Schiller nodded and said: "Then what is the reason?"

"Daily maintenance." The male mage said, "Actually, today is a closed day, adding a barrier is just for insurance."

Schiller understood. It was actually guarding against Batman. Ordinary people might choose not to enter when they see the library closed, but Batman wouldn't care about that, only a magic barrier could stop them.

When Schiller walked in, the two mages had also set up the magic barrier, and even specifically left a line of words on the barrier: "Maintenance today, idlers keep out."

After entering the library, it was already very lively inside. The crew members gathered together, moving equipment out of the portal. Although today was just a communication meeting, they also had to film some behind-the-scenes material, and the camera had already been set up.

The little mages were the protagonists, discussing the script content there. They were quiet for a while when seeing Schiller coming, but sized him up, and soon returned to normal.

After spending so long with Schiller when filming the first part, they also figured out some laws. This doctor is sometimes cold, sometimes smiling but very scary, and sometimes just pure gentle and kind. He looked in a good mood today, and the little mages weren't so nervous anymore.

After everyone sat down, the director began to lecture. Chris was still so radiant and full of enthusiasm, originally quite ordinary plots, but they were told vividly by him. Mephisto listened and nodded while clapping, looking like he was going to worship him.

After the director finished lecturing, the producer spoke symbolically for two sentences, and then it was the actors discussing it themselves. Schiller first played the inner scenes with Mephisto, the little mages also played scenes internally, and then the two sides played scenes against each other.

After playing the scenes, they had to tell the director their feelings, including what they were thinking when filming this scene, what kind of understanding they had about the characters, what kind of opinion they had about their opponents, whether they encountered problems in performance, and whether they felt any lines were inappropriate.

This process was very boring, simply talking for the sake of talking. But Schiller also knew this was necessary, especially for the little mages. They didn't have the same stress-bearing ability as adults, if they felt awkward and continued to act, it was easy to reveal confrontational emotions in expressions and behaviors, which would also easily affect the audience's emotions and be bad for their own mental health.

Schiller just walked through the motions here, Chris mainly listened to the thoughts of the child actors. As someone who had to play scenes with them, Schiller didn't leave either, sat on the side and listened to them discuss with the director.

"... The others are all quite good. We discussed the matter of investigating the potion very naturally and happily, the part of going to the school infirmary, although it made people a bit nervous, I think it has a sense of substitution. But there is only one problem, the illustrated handbook we found in the library, I don't quite understand it..."

"Me too." Another protagonist echoed, "That is the thick book, the things on it are too professional, the only thing I can understand is the pictures, and I have to point at the book and talk about it, I feel it's fake myself."

"I think it's quite fake too." The third protagonist said, "Your eyes clearly say 'what the hell is this', it doesn't look like you understand it at all. The director said, in the script, you are the smartest of the three, you can understand any book at a glance, so you didn't act this part well."

Others also echoed one after another. Chris was a bit confused, so he let them act it again. The result was that it was really like this, the Asian little boy who was supposed to be the smartest of the protagonists opened the book, and mosquito coils appeared in his eyes, even if he tried very hard to pretend he understood, the expression and demeanor were clearly in a dazed state.

"Haven't you seen this book before?" Chris said while calling the assistant director, and then said, "Didn't I tell you to let them see what they want to see ahead of time?"

The assistant director was also very confused. He said: "I let them see it, whether it's Saphir's notebook or the magic creature illustrated handbook, I gave it to them two months ahead of time, and specifically found someone to explain it to them."

Chris pointed to the scene for him. The assistant director hurriedly walked over to check, didn't see anything at first, and thought the child actors were in a bad state. Until the assistant director saw that book, mosquito coils also started to appear in his eyes, and Chris realized something was wrong.

He hurriedly walked over, took the book, flipped through two pages, frowned and closed his eyes with some pain and said: "Jesus, this reminds me of the ancient art history class I took at New York University. What is this?"

Schiller was also a bit curious, he wanted to see this book before, but it was borrowed by someone when he came. He also leaned over to look, and as expected, he also got dizzy.

Schiller also belonged to the high-level intellectuals, and it wasn't that he hadn't read professional papers. When he was in school, he had gnawed on how many difficult and obscure psychology and sociology papers, even so, he was still amazed at how English could be arranged and combined like this.

He looked at this book carefully again, and then discovered the abnormality. Although this book was popularizing various magic creatures and plants throughout, the way of thinking and writing style used had nothing to do with magic, purely rational logical thinking. The contradiction between content and style was too obvious, mages could understand but were not familiar with it, scientists were familiar with it but couldn't understand it.

But Schiller also had to sigh, the person who wrote this book was really a strange person. The prop team actually had such talent?

He didn't notice that Chris's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and finally the hand holding the book was trembling a bit.

"I will be hung in the Hall of Fame because of this!" He suddenly shouted, "We are creating history! This is a brand new milestone!!"
