Chapter 3795

Schiller was startled by Chris's excited state, just wanted to care about him, and was grabbed by Chris.

"Have you heard a sentence?"

"What?"

"'The more false things are, the more perfect they must be in the details.' Why do you think this is?"

"Why?" Schiller saw that Chris didn't want to ask him, and didn't need his answer, so he pretended to be ignorant and asked.

"The greatest art in the world is to bring the viewer into another world." Chris said quickly, "Whether it's music, painting, novels, or movies, it's all the same. The more the audience appreciating art is immersed, the more successful the art is. And making up details is the most efficient way to improve immersion."

"Viewers have a thousand faces, everyone's inner world is different, but the way they recognize the world is the same. Through seeing, through hearing, through rational analysis, through emotional resonance. The richer the things they see, the more rigorously they verify each other, the more likely they are to be judged as real by their brain organs, and the stronger the immersion will be."

"My movie needs many convincing things. They may not be real, but they must be reasonable in that environment. The audience will feel that this is the optimal solution, and feel that if they were there, they would do the same. This is immersion."

This reminded Schiller of the famous movie "Home Alone" filmed by Chris. Many scenes in this comedy movie were actually absurd, and the traps the two stupid thieves suffered were also a bit childish, which I'm afraid is hard to do in reality. But when people watch this movie, they feel it's very reasonable, if they were a little boy alone at home, they would also punish the stupid thieves like this.

This is actually because the setting of this movie is very real. At least for Americans, it's like the house they live in every day; those trap props are also their daily necessities. In the most popular first part, the little boy's intelligence and hands-on ability are considered to be in line with this age group, not particularly exaggerated, and some little cleverness instead makes people think of themselves when they were young.

This is the immersion Chris emphasized. If the story was set on a spaceship, there wouldn't be such a strong sense of substitution; if the protagonist was changed to an adult, it would also seem childish and absurd, without the relaxed feeling of making people laugh.

A good movie is destined to be very particular about various details. It must be both many and real, and not appear messy. Compared to mindless stacking, it values systemization and rigor more.

For a movie like "Home Alone" set in the real world, the rigor of details naturally wouldn't have any problems, except for paying attention to pressing Newton's coffin lid, there was no difficulty.

But the difficulty of constructing an illusory world is not just a little bit bigger. The laws of all things here are different from the real world that people are familiar with. How to make people understand, and make them feel real, is a test of the director's skills.

Schiller could understand why Chris was so excited. Because the person who wrote this book had his own system. The magic world in his eyes was like this, he could use this set of things to explain everything in the magic world, and at the same time express it, making people understand.

Don't look at the fact that most people can't understand this thing, but actually it's just because they didn't calm down to read it. If you really take the energy of doing academic research to look at the things written in this book, you will find that this is real and reasonable to a terrifying degree.

Chris also had the same doubt as Schiller—there is such talent in the prop team?

He hurried to find the person in charge of the prop team, and asked who wrote this thing. Soon, a big bearded man wearing glasses walked over and shook hands with the director.

Schiller felt he was a bit familiar, thought for a long time before remembering, he seemed to be the screenwriter of Disney animated movies, some of the films he wrote were quite famous, and a new animated movie was released this year, which was widely circulated among children.

But Schiller felt a bit strange, because he felt that the screenwriter in front of him didn't seem to know the magic world like this. Chris discussed with him for two sentences, and also discovered the problem.

The other party also obviously felt something was wrong, he took the book in Chris's hand and looked at it, and said with some shock: "This is not the version I wrote, where did you find this?"

Everyone was very shocked, looking for the assistant director, looking for the field manager, and even found the librarian. But after looking for half a day, no one knew where this book came from.

"It's God, it must be God." Chris said.

Mephisto was obviously a bit unhappy, and said: "Compared to God, Shi Difen is more likely, right? Since you said he has research, then he must be a professional, maybe he is Shi Difen's friend."

Having said that, Schiller remembered: "Could it be Tony Stark?"

Stark had been trying to combine science and magic, although he didn't quite know what specific results he had achieved, but if he had to say who could write this thing, it was probably him.

But Schiller suddenly remembered that compared to the distant Stark, the suspicion of the Batmen all over the school was even greater. But this didn't make sense, because Batman had no motive.

First of all, there was no internet in the school, Batman didn't even know they were filming a movie; even if he checked some abnormalities along the clues, he couldn't be so fast.

Secondly, even if he knew they were filming a movie, Batman wasn't as showy as Stark, he didn't want to appear in front of the public at all. Even if they wanted to, copyright was also a big problem—it was absolutely impossible for characters without copyright to appear in the movie.

Taking a step back, even if Batman wanted to participate in the movie filming, he didn't need to write a book, right? Besides making the little actors dizzy, what else could it do?

Although Schiller had suspicions about Batman, because the motive was too insufficient, his heart was still biased towards Stark, or Strange found another capable person, such as Doctor Doom or Reed—both of them could write this thing.

"We'll go with this!" Chris slapped the table and said, "The things in this book are clearly systematic and rigorous. If we set up the magic forest according to the things inside, we can definitely present the most perfect magic world!"

The faces of the prop team immediately collapsed—then they had been busy for so long, wouldn't it be in vain?

Chris sought the opinion of the producer. The producer actually didn't agree, because this would slow down the filming progress and waste the budget. But Chris was very persistent, so the producer could only consult the investor.

The little mages also had faces like bitter melons—if this version of the plan was really adopted, wouldn't they have to finish reading that book? This was too advanced for elementary school students, right?!

Chris's attitude was unprecedentedly tough. He felt that all difficulties could be overcome: if the little mages couldn't understand, find someone who could understand to explain it to them; if the investor didn't want to pay more money, he would find someone else to invest; if the producer firmly disagreed, then change a producer.

Schiller knew that Chris's goal would likely be achieved, because the first part was too popular. Hollywood hadn't produced such a phenomenal movie for many years, and no one would be stupid enough to be willing to hand over the opportunity for a sequel.

Chris copied that book many times overnight, requiring everyone in the crew to have one: those who could finish reading had to finish reading, those who couldn't read had to bite the bullet and read, take out the spirit and rigor of the graduation design, and must understand the entire system.

It had to be said that those who could enter this crew were also top industry professionals, all holding their breath to go further, and no one was willing to show weakness. The director could read, they could also read; the little mages could learn, they could also learn. Everyone held a book and read it at the nearby filming base.

Schiller also took this book back to the office to read. First, he appreciated the illustrations—they were really well drawn. Every picture was lifelike, and the style was very unified; more importantly, the plants were arranged with a very reasonable evolution and branching process, and every change was reflected in the images.

This was very conducive to understanding: seeing the Latin naming, one could roughly imagine the appearance of this plant, which made reading much easier. In terms of animals, it was all-encompassing, from arthropods to mammals to birds. How some animals changed from ordinary animals to magic animals, and what kind of evolution they experienced after becoming magic animals, were all written clearly.

For children, this might indeed be a bit obscure, but for an adult with a mature mind, as long as they were interested in this, they would find it more and more interesting the more they read. Schiller found it very interesting until the end.

There were actually no very interesting stories in it, they were all long popular science, but the front and back texts corresponded, and the knowledge read before could be used soon after, giving people a kind of joy of learning.

Schiller could completely imagine the craze that this book would bring after publication—it was completely a fanatic for the research party. If it could really set up a magic world according to this book, then it would be a milestone achievement as Chris said.

Schiller spent a whole day reading this book, and that was still under the condition that his reading speed was extremely fast and his memory was not bad. Normal people would take at least a week, and I'm afraid the little mages wouldn't be able to finish reading it in half a year.

Schiller felt that he needed to write a reading note from the perspective of a school doctor to add some mysterious color to this book:

"When I was studying, I was very interested in medicine and herbs, often preparing potions and studying healing magic. Those magic plants that were similar in shape but completely different in effect had caused me a lot of trouble. In order to distinguish them, I found an illustrated handbook from the Restricted Section of the Ilvermorny library that had been continuously supplemented and compiled by generations of Great Mages. It is said that this book reveals the secret of the biological evolution of the magical world, just like the Creator's notebook left in the world. Because it was too rich and comprehensive, in order to prevent it from being found by people with ulterior motives, it was put into the Restricted Section..."

At night, Schiller extinguished the bright chandelier and only lit the candlestick on the desk. He wrote in the dim light, trying to imitate Dr. Barton's tone, and annotated the knowledge in the book one by one.

Just when he was writing furiously, Strange blew in like a gust of wind, and "slapped" a book on his desk:

"Did you write this?!"

Schiller looked up, looked at the book on the desk that was exactly the same as the one by his hand, and looked at Strange a bit blankly and said: "Didn't you find someone to write it?"

The two stared at each other. Strange opened the page where he put the bookmark, pointed to the content on it and said: "The idea of the branching route of this mushroom is very good, I was thinking about how to cultivate this kind of functional mushroom before, I didn't expect there to be such a method. You hurry up and find the author, I want him to participate in the third-phase cultivation project..."

Schiller had vaguely guessed who wrote this book.

He drank water unhurriedly and said: "I didn't write it. However, I'm afraid that even if you find the original author, he won't be able to participate in the cultivation project."

"Why? Who exactly is the author?"

"Batman."

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough!"
