Chapter 206 Encounter by chance(2/2)
Looking at Ellen, Rowling suddenly had inspiration!
A mysterious young wizard needs to be handsome and have a white owl. Can he write a story about this and let his boss film it?
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Rowling in a daze, Allen raised his voice slightly and reminded her.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Ge. Boss, I just had an inspiration."
Rowling looked around, then moved closer to Allen, and whispered: "Boss, I want to write a story about a young wizard in the Middle Ages."
Allen listened to Rowling's suppressed voice and happily told him about her inspiration.
Why does this story become more familiar to me the more I hear it?
Are you really planning to make a Harry Potter movie?
"etc."
Hearing Rowling keep telling him about the Middle Ages, Allen briefly interrupted Rowling and said: "What about you? If you just want to write a book, then I have no objection, but if you want to write one, it can be a movie.
If the story is shot, then you have to consider more things!”
Seeing Rowling's confused eyes, Allen looked at the roadside, pointed to a bench under a big tree and motioned for Rowling to sit down and said.
"Think about it, this isn't your first time writing a script. When we were filming the movie, did you go and see it on set?"
Rowling nodded, of course she had gone to see it, it was filmed not far from home, and she had seen the crew filming live more than once.
"Now that you've seen it, have you ever thought about how many props we need to prepare if you set the background of the story in the Middle Ages? OK. Even if the budget is sufficient and the props can be made, what about the buildings?"
Rowling looked around subconsciously. There were ancient castles and ancient buildings everywhere in Wales. What was so difficult about this?
"Tsk"
Allen comforted Xiao Huang, who had been under his control, and said: "Look at this kind of town now. Wales is everywhere, but this is a living area. We can't let the crew come to shoot every day. Roadside
Have you ever thought about modern elements such as street lamps, billboards and so on? If you really want to take pictures, given the background of this era, it is very difficult to find a place to take pictures.”
Rowling couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Allen's words. This makes sense.
Living in the Middle Ages, you can't build a large medieval town specifically for filming movies, right?
It's because I take it too much for granted.
Looking at Rowling who was a little frustrated, Allen was afraid that she was about to back down again, so he pulled up his mask and said, "You can do this, for example, your protagonist is a modern person, and then he can go to some wizard school to study.
The location of this school can be an alien space, or a mysterious place far away from the city."
"In this way, at the beginning, we can shoot in an ordinary studio. The props and buildings are all very easy to arrange. If we want to shoot medieval buildings, we can also clear out an old castle and shoot alone. You have to shoot for the movie.
Consider the degree of difficulty.”
As Allen explained, Rowling's eyes lit up, this is okay.
By setting the background of the event to modern times, many of the problems in shooting can be easily solved. Of course, this can also solve some other troubles for her.
That means she doesn't have to look up a lot of medieval information, and can just put the modern background into it.
As for learning witchcraft, magic, etc., it is directly arranged in a school in a different space. It is a different space. The castle is of course as weird as it comes, so there is no need to pay attention to the historical background.
"Thank you boss, my thinking has broadened a lot. I will be able to sort out the outline when I go back today. After my novel is written, I will give it to you!"
"Haha, let's wait until you write it down. If you need to look up some historical information, you can ask Butler Hu Te to browse the information in the library at home."
