A strange world

Chapter 571 Chapter 228. "When the Orcs Knock on the Door"

"So the story is actually about an orc father and son living in a human city."

"That's pretty much it."

"But why not humans." Hundreds of years have brought the accumulation of wisdom to Tedder, "... Your doing this is related to their conflict with the orcs?"

"uh-huh."

"There is no need... they are not reckless, and the disputes with the orcs will be controlled within a certain range."

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

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

This is something Annan is trying to eliminate. In Liberty City, due to self-repression, too few numbers, and no interests involved, humans and other alien races are relatively harmonious, but this is not the case outside. In the future, when there are more alien races, there will always be many disputes.

Annan will not deny that his magic images are to make money, but deep down, he also has reasons to change some of the status quo...

Tedder saw it: "This is a difficult path... Many entities and organizations that are countless times more powerful than you and Free City want to do this, but they have all failed..."

"Because they did it wrong."

The success of Free City has built up confidence for Annan - he is no longer the boy who was too shy to speak when selling firewood with Martin: "The orcs and elves fought to a bloody head, and the humans and dwarves fought to a bloody head. , the dwarves and the orcs fought to a bloody head, the elves and the dwarves fought to a bloody head... Ignoring the disputes and killings between races, and forcing them to put down their hatred... This is wrong."

"Forcing those who have been killed to make peace with the executioner will only cause conflicts to sink from the surface to the inside. The real solution is not to force them to forgive each other, but to allow those who are not stained with hatred to contact each other."

Annan did not know those organizations, and Fast did not want to disclose them, but he could roughly guess their methods.

Hatred is the most vivid and strongest emotion. Anything that stands in its way is crushed into dust.

Tedder no longer dissuades, young people should always do what young people would do and radiate the light of youth.

"So let's talk about "When the Orcs Knock on the Door"?"

"Well, let me think about it... why use orcs? Because this kind of family affection is very common for humans. It is touching, but not very touching. And it is too common, and filming it like this will make the audience think, 'Oh this It's just me', and then I feel the same, think of the burden of life, and no longer have the mood to appreciate the magical images... An orc will blur this 'sense of substitution', and will take the audience out of 'this is my own life', and purely appreciate it. this story."

Tedder felt that Annan said this because of the sophistry of having the answer first and then deducing the process, but he still did not refute: "If you want contrast and drama, why not change it to an orc father and an elf son?"

Annan thought for a while and rejected Tadel's suggestion.

Taking too big a step will only arouse the rebellious psychology of the elves, and they will be suspicious of "Are you implying that the elves are the children of 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 opinion. Tedder stopped trying to persuade him and asked about the plot.

Annan doesn't remember much about the plot of "The Pursuit of Happiness", but it doesn't matter. He can ask the mage to use the memory silk technique on him.

At that time, writing the script only took a few days, and Annan was now finalizing the starring role.

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

Annan's initial idea was the old orc. But it looked too old, ravaged by time. And after returning from "Andy", he and the bard had a great time performing "Betal's Redemption" on the beach.

Annan thought of the tribal leader Garr - the scene when he puts on human clothes would be very contrasting, but he is too strong and does not match the image of Smith who can only hide in the toilet and sleep in "The Pursuit of Happyness".

As for the son... just pick a talented little orc from the Timber Wolf tribe.

"Abby!"

Annan asked his men to call Betty, briefly explaining that he needed a thinner adult orc and a little orc, and asked her to select and teach them to act.

"Part 4?"

"Um."

Betty almost floated out. As soon as she went out, Evelin's figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

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

Annan was not in a hurry to write a script. The envoy's visit lasted for a week, and with six days left, it was time for him to get to work - starting with Nana, who seemed to be the easiest to contact.

The "Elf Mentor" said that she was the hardest to win favor among the three elves, but Annan thought it was okay - this lively wood elf with emerald-like long hair and many decorations was the one who was chattering around her back then. A loyal movie fan who heads to the theater after Liberty City.

Before taking action, Annan first spoke to Itilia and Olmedo so that they would not feel that he was not doing something serious, and then came to the theater.

Walking into the dark theater, "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was being shown on the screen. The audience was not large, about one-third of the seats were filled.

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

Nana suddenly looked sideways at the person sitting next to her, and then exclaimed: "Jack comes to me!"

"I thought the elves would like "Betal's Redemption"." Annan said, looking at himself on the screen who was avoiding the trolls with Alice.

"I like the college life like Annan Potter that I have never seen before." Nana, who likes new things, said, "Let's go out!"

"Don't you want to read it?"

"I've seen it many times... I don't need to see it now that you're here!"

Saying that, Nana actually took the initiative to pull Annan and ran out.

This is a good development!

Annan thought, but then the situation took a turn for the worse. They came to the park and sat on a bench under the shade of a tree. Nana couldn't wait to ask about interesting things during the creation. Annan was guided by Nana to talk a lot, and she acted as a listener, holding her chin and listening carefully.

When talking about interesting things, such as when the mages always liked to steal the camera during the filming of "The Fall of the Mage Tower", Nana would laugh like a wind chime.

Annan found that Nana liked to talk to him very much, but only related to magic images. When talking about other things, she would return to magic images soon, and the relationship had no substantial progress...

Moreover, this deliberate approach made Annan feel uncomfortable. He finally discouraged and said: "Well, it seems that I am not good at this kind of thing at all..."

"What are you not good at?"

"Just...get the girls' favor."
