Three days later, the shooting of "The Wolf Princess" officially began.
Roland had expected that this would be a very novel experience, but he did not expect it to be so interesting.
On the first day of the project, it attracted the attention of all the members of the Witch Union.
Even though they had never watched the movie, they could still imagine how wonderful the play would be based on the live rehearsal of the participants. Moreover, some of the actors were ancient witches. With the vivid description of their own experiences, the magic movie was even more attractive.
If one were to conduct a survey among the witches, the answer would definitely be the Dream World.
They could not go to the Dream World, but now they had the opportunity to see the play in that world, which was naturally very tempting.
The next day, the people who ate, drank, and played cards from morning to night suddenly stopped. Instead, there were strong requests to join the filming, including Tilly.
If he remembered correctly, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to make a request.
Therefore, the crew had to temporarily replace several groups of actors. As long as it did not affect the daily production, Roland was happy to see them join. The participation of more witches also made the development of the play even more interesting.
For example, the cameraman was changed from Amy to Lightning.
In order to express the closeness of the sisters and their happy childhood life, the little girl slowly descended from the sky above Neverwinter, where the cold wind was howling. She had a panoramic view of the snow-covered city. Then, she skimmed over the streets and passers-by, flew into the castle window with icicles hanging on it, and landed in front of the blazing fireplace. The contrast between the huge city and the small bedroom, the snow and the fire, the passers-by in a hurry and the laughing sisters, instantly outlined the two's closely connected inner world.
Of course, it took Roland a lot of persuasion, and in the end, he even used his clumsy drawing skills to make everyone understand the meaning of the "camera".
At the same time, he noticed that Mey, who was standing beside him, had an indescribable light in her eyes when he explained the basic filming techniques on paper and pen.
It was undeniable that the Star of the Western Region had a talent for drama that ordinary people did not have. She seemed to be able to construct a complete picture in her mind, and every person and thing on the stage could be used by her. This advantage was not obvious for a traditional play that was performed in a fixed area, but after changing to the language of the camera, it was as if she had found an excellent outlet.
On the other hand, Irene, who played the role of the second princess, obviously did not have such talent.
After that, all kinds of perspective changes became normal.
It only took a few days for him to go from simple imitation to drawing inferences.
Some of the techniques even had the flavor of modern movies.
When the foreign prince appeared, she used the method of photographing him from parts to the whole. First, it was the boots embedded with jewels, then the golden cloak and brocade clothes, and finally the handsome smiling face. Then, she extended the picture to the team of well-dressed attendants following behind, vividly reflecting the characteristics of the rich and powerful. By the way, the prince was played by her husband, Carter Lannis. Although Roland did not want to admit it, the well-groomed Chief Knight was indeed the face of Neverwinter.
The use of the camera was only one of the aspects.
What was even more amazing was the appearance of special effects.
Basically, there would be new ideas popping up every day, and on this basis, incredible visual effects would be extended.
For example, the "three-dimensional background" created by Soroya, which was enough to pass off as the real thing.
For example, the special effects of Lightning created by Sharon.
Nightingale's Mist Fading, Molly's Magic Servant, Shadow's illusion doppelgangers...
Maggie played two roles. When she was in the form of a pigeon, she was the sister's good friend. When she was in the form of a Devilbeast, she became the demon lord's right-hand man. In the snowfield, she fought with the wolf girl. The scene was so fierce that it could be described as the earth shaking, the mountains shaking, and the birds and beasts scattering.
Of course, these special effects were inseparable from the support of Lotus and Honey.
When the magic movie was halfway through filming, more than 300 people had participated in it... Not only the Witch Union, but also the Sleeping Spell and the Taquila survivors were also very interested. It was more like a carnival than a play.
Standing on the city wall, Roland could not help but feel a little emotional as he looked at the lively crowd not far away.
He did not expect that it would be a movie that would break the barrier between the three parties and shorten the distance between them. Before this, there had been a subtle difference between these three parties, like oil and water, which would gradually separate when they came together. But now, there was no obvious difference between them.
No matter what kind of ability they had, they all used it on the same thing. There was no cold boundary between strong and weak, and there was no distinction between regions and factions. As long as they used their brains, they would definitely be able to find their own position. This kind of feeling invisibly diluted the differences between people, and also made the creation a link between people.
For him, this was really a pleasant surprise.
Roland exhaled a breath of white air and turned to look at Anna. "Don't you want to relax with them?"
At first, Nightingale would only film when she needed to use her ability, but later, she completely enjoyed it.
"I have to continue to be busy later." Anna stretched out her hand and showed the oil stains on her cuff. "The size of the internal combustion engine parts on the drawing can't be used as a reference. I still need to adjust them. And... "
"Hmm?" Roland blinked.
"Staying with you is the best way to relax." She smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder.
The warm flame spread in all directions, dispelling the chill in the wind and snow.
Roland also closed his mouth and enjoyed this quiet moment together with her.
After a while, Anna said softly, "The future you promised has been realized."
He followed her gaze. Not only were the witches from all over the world integrated with the play, but also the ordinary people in the crew. Mey was gesticulating as if she was teaching Lorgar and Carter how to act together in the previous scene. Irene was squatting by the side, happily combing Maggie's hair. Maggie squinted her eyes and seemed to be enjoying it. The new members of the troupe and the God's Punishment Witches were setting up the props needed for the next scene. Compared with the clear division of labor in the factory, the interaction here was undoubtedly more natural and harmonious.
It had nothing to do with their abilities. In the white snow that enveloped everything, they all became the same kind of people.
"No, there's still a part that hasn't been realized." Roland shook his head.
"Do you mean the other territories of Graycastle? Those cities shouldn't be too far away. "
"I'm not talking about the relationship between ordinary people and witches, but another promise," Roland replied with a smile. "At first, I thought that we should be fully prepared and realize it step by step according to the process. But now I find that it doesn't matter whether we have it or not. The key is to do it. As for what the consequences will be, there will always be a solution. Just like this movie, because there are no procedures, it can bring more surprises. "
"So this promise is..." Anna raised her head and blinked her lake-blue eyes. He seemed to be able to see the reflection of snowflakes on the slightly rippling lake.
