Section 228: "When the Orcs Come Knocking at the Door"

"So the story is actually the story of a pair of orc fathers and sons living in a human city."

"That's pretty much it."

"But why not human." Hundreds of years have brought the deposition of Teddell's wisdom," ...... What do you have to do with their conflict with the orcs? ”

"Uh-huh."

"There is no need...... They are not daredevils, and the conflict with the orcs will be kept under control. ”

"But the contradiction between elves and orcs is an indisputable fact."

Annan's tone was serious: "Whether it is your batch or the next batch, all elves are prejudiced against orcs, or stereotypes, or ...... of all races"

This is what Annan is trying to eliminate. In Liberty City, because of its own suppression, too few and no interests, humans and other aliens are quite harmonious, but this is not the case outside. In the future, when there are many different races, there will always be many disputes.

Annan doesn't deny that his magical images are meant to make money, but at the bottom of the day, he has some reasons to change the status quo......

Teddell saw it: "It's a hard road...... Many beings and organizations countless times stronger than you, or Liberty City, have tried to do so, but they have all failed......"

"Because they're doing it wrong."

The success of Liberty City built up confidence for Annan - he was no longer the boy who was too shy to speak up with Martin selling firewood: "Orcs and elves fight to the head to the blood, humans and dwarves fight to the head to the blood, dwarves and orcs fight to the head to the blood, elves and dwarves to the head to the head to the blood...... Ignore inter-ethnic strife and killing, and force them to let go of their hatred...... This is not right. ”

"Forcibly making peace between those who have been killed and the executioner will only sink the contradictions from the surface to the inside. The real thing to do is not to force them to forgive each other, but to bring those who are not tainted by hatred into contact with each other. ”

Annan didn't know about those organizations, and Fast didn't want to reveal them, but he could guess what they were doing.

Hatred, it is the most vivid and intense emotion. Anything that stands in its way will be crushed into dust.

Teddell no longer discouraged, young people should always do something that young people would do, radiate the light of young people.

"And back to When the Orcs Knock on the Door?"

"Well, I guess where I got it...... Why use orcs. Because this kind of affection is common for human beings, it is only touching, but not very touching. And it's so common that filming like this will make the audience think, 'Oh, this is just me,' and then empathize, think of the burdens of life, and no longer be in the mood to enjoy magical images...... An orc will blur this 'sense of substitution', and will pull the audience away from 'this is my own life' and purely appreciate the story. ”

Teddell felt that Annan said this because he had an answer and then reversed the sophistry of the process, but he still did not refute it: "If you want contrast and drama, why don't you change it to an orc father and an elf son?" ”

Annan thought for a moment and rejected Teddell's suggestion.

Taking too big a step will only provoke the elves to rebel, and they will suspect that "you are implying that the elves are the children of the orcs?" It is better to subtly change the perception of the elves, just like Beauty and the Beast.

It seems that Annan has his own opinions. Teddell stopped trying to persuade him and asked about the plot.

Annan doesn't remember much about the plot of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", but it doesn't matter, he can ask the mage to give him a mnemonic.

At that time, it was only a matter of a few days to write the script, and Annan now finalizes the main actor first.

The first is about the casting of the orc father and son.

Annan's original idea was the old orc. But it looks too old, ravaged by the long years. And after returning from "Andy", he and the bard had a great time performing "The Redemption of Bertal" on the beach.

Annan thought of the tribal leader, Gal, who would be in a contrasting position when he was dressed in human clothes, but too strong to match the image of Smith in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" who can only hide in the toilet and sleep.

As for the son...... Just pick a gifted little orc from the Timber Wolf tribe.

"Abby!"

Annan asked his men to call Betty and briefly tell her that he needed a skinny adult orc and a small orc, and asked her to pick them out and teach them to act.

"Part 4?"

"Hmm."

Betty almost floated out. As soon as she left the door, Evelyn's figure flashed around the corner of the hallway.

In the past, this news would have caused quite a stir, but when the whole of Middle-earth was thrown into chaos by Annan, the news was like a splash of water.

Annan was in no hurry to write the script, the envoys' visit was a week, and with six days left, it was time for him to get to workβ€”starting with Nana, who seemed to be the best to contact.

The "Elven Mentor" said that she was the hardest of the three elves to gain affection, but Annan thought it was okay - this lively wooden elf with long emerald green hair and many decorations was a loyal fan who had been chattering around and running to the theater after coming to Liberty City.

Before the action, Annan spoke to Itilia and Ormedo so that they didn't feel like they were doing their job, and then came to the theater.

Walking into the dimly lit theater, "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was showing on the screen, and the audience was not large, about a third of the seats.

Annan saw the conspicuous emerald hair and sat down next to her.

Nana suddenly looked sideways at the person sitting next to her, and then exclaimed, "Jack is coming to me!" ”

"I thought the elves would love Bertal Redemption." Annan said as he looked at himself on the screen as he was hiding from the trolls with Alice.

"I love the kind of house life that Annan Potter has never seen before." Nana, who likes new things, says, "Let's go out!" ”

"Aren't you watching?"

"I've seen it many times...... I don't have to watch it when you're here! ”

Saying that, Nana took the initiative to pick up Annan and ran out.

That's a nice development!

Annan thought, but then the situation took a turn for the worse. They arrived at the park and sat on a bench in the shade of the trees, and Nana couldn't wait to ask interesting stories about the creation of the work. Annan was guided by Nana to talk a lot, and she listened carefully with her chin held as a listener.

When talking about interesting things, such as the fact that mages always like to steal the camera during the filming of "The Fall of the Mage Tower", Nana lets out a crisp laugh like a wind chime.

Annan found that Nana liked to talk to herself, but only related to magical images, and when she talked about other things, she would return to magical images soon, and the relationship did not make substantial progress......

And this deliberate proximity made Annan feel uncomfortable, and he finally deflated: "Well, it seems that I am not good at this kind of thing at all......"

"What are you not good at?"

"That's it...... Get the girls' affection. ”
