Three days later, "Wolf Heart Fate" officially started filming.

Roland had anticipated that this would be an extremely novel experience, but he didn't expect it to be so interesting.

On the first day of the project's launch, it attracted the attention of all members of the Witch Union.

Even if they hadn't actually seen the movie, it didn't prevent them from imagining the excitement of the drama based on the participants' live rehearsals. What's more, some of the actors were ancient witches. With the vivid descriptions of those who had personally experienced it, the attraction of the Magic Shadow was elevated to its peak.

If a survey were conducted among the witch community about "the place you most want to go," the answer would definitely be the Dream World.

They couldn't go to the Dream World, but now they had the opportunity to see the drama of that world, and this temptation was naturally extraordinary.

The next day, the phenomenon of eating, drinking, and playing cards from morning to night disappeared, replaced by a strong call for everyone to join the filming, even Tilly was no exception.

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 batches of actors—as long as it didn't affect daily production, Roland was happy to see them join, and the participation of more witches made the drama's trajectory clearer.

For example, the photographer was changed from Amy at the beginning to Lightning.

In order to express the sisters' closeness and happy childhood life, the little girl slowly fell from the howling wind of Neverwinter City, taking in the snowy city outline; then she swept across the streets and pedestrians, leaped into the castle window hanging with icicles, and landed in front of the roaring fireplace—the huge city and the small bedroom, ice and snow and fire, pedestrians in a hurry and laughing sisters, three groups of contrasts instantly outlined the close connection between the two people's inner worlds.

Of course, Roland spent a lot of effort, and finally even used his clumsy painting skills, to make everyone understand the meaning of "lens."

At the same time, he noticed that Mei's eyes were shining with an unspeakable light when he used paper and pen to explain the basic shooting techniques.

It is undeniable that the Star of the Western Region does have a talent for drama that ordinary people do not possess—she seems to be able to build a complete picture in her mind, and everyone and everything on the stage can become the object she uses. This advantage is not obvious for traditional dramas performed in fixed areas, but when it is converted into lens language, her talent seems to have found an excellent outlet.

And another recognized genius, Ailin, the actress who plays the Second Princess, obviously doesn't have this kind of talent.

After that, switching between various perspectives became the norm.

From simple imitation to inference, it only took a few days.

Even some techniques already have a bit of the flavor of modern movies.

When the foreign prince appeared, she adopted a shooting method from partial to whole—first the jewel-encrusted boots, then the golden cloak and brocade clothes, and finally the handsome face with a smile, and then she expanded to the team of gorgeous servants following behind him, highlighting his rich and compelling characteristics. By the way, the prince's actor is her husband, Carter Lannis. Although Roland didn't want to admit it, the chief knight, after careful grooming, is now indeed the face value representative of Neverwinter City.

And the use of lenses is only one aspect of it.

What is even more amazing is the appearance of special effects.

Basically, there are fresh ideas popping up every day, and incredible visual effects are extended on this basis.

Such as the "three-dimensional background" from Soraya's hand, which is enough to be confused with the real thing.

Such as the lightning special effects created by Sharon.

There are also Nightingale's mist fading, Molly's magic servants, Youying's illusion clones...

Maisie even played two roles alone. In pigeon form, she is the sister's good friend, and after transforming into a Terrorbeast, she becomes the devil lord's capable cadre, fighting fiercely with the Wolf Girl in the snowfield. The intensity of the scene can be described as earth-shattering and birds and beasts scattering.

Of course, these special effects are also inseparable from the support of Lotus and Honey.

When the Magic Shadow was halfway through filming, the number of participants had exceeded 300.

…Not only the Witch Union, but also the Sleeping Spell and the Taquila survivors also showed great interest. It was more like a carnival than a drama.

Standing on the city wall, Roland looked at the lively crowd not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He didn't expect that it would be a movie shoot that would break through the barriers between the three parties and bring them closer together—if these groups had still vaguely existed before, like oil and water, they would slowly separate when they gathered together, then at this moment, he could no longer see obvious differences.

No matter what kind of ability they have, everyone uses it for the same thing. There is no cold line between strong and weak, and there is no distinction between regions and factions. As long as you use your brain, you will definitely be able to find your own position in it. This feeling invisibly dilutes the differences between people, and also makes the creative results become the bond that connects everyone.

For him, this was really a pleasant surprise.

Roland exhaled a white breath and turned to look at Anna, "Aren't you going to relax with them?"

At first, Nightingale only went down to film when her abilities were needed, but later, she was completely enjoying it.

"I still have to be busy later," Anna stretched out her hand and showed the oil stains on her cuffs, "The dimensions of the internal combustion engine parts in the drawings cannot be completely used as a reference, and still need to be adjusted. And..."

"Hmm?" Roland blinked.

"Being with you is the best relaxation." She smiled slightly and leaned her head on his shoulder.

Warm flames spread out, dispelling the coldness of the wind and snow.

Roland also closed his mouth and enjoyed the tranquility of this busy moment with her.

After a while, Anna whispered, "The future you promised has been realized."

He followed her gaze—integrated with the drama were not only witches from all over the world, but also ordinary people in the crew. Mei was gesturing, seeming to be teaching Lojia and Carter how to perform a scene; Ailin was squatting aside, happily combing Maisie's hair, while the latter was squinting, looking like she was 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 clearly divided factory workshop, the interaction here is undoubtedly more natural and harmonious.

Regardless of ability, in the snow that envelops everything, they have all become the same kind of people.

"No, there is still a part that has not been realized." Roland shook his head.

"Are you referring to other territories of Graycastle? Those cities shouldn't be too far away either."

"I'm not talking about the relationship between ordinary people and witches, but another promise." He replied with a smile, "Originally, I thought I should make full preparations and then realize it step by step according to the process. But now I find that it doesn't matter whether those things exist or not, the key is to do it, and as for what consequences it will produce, there is always a way to solve it. Like this movie, it is precisely because there are no rules that it can bring more surprises."

"So what is this promise..." Anna raised her head and blinked her lake-blue eyes. In the slightly undulating lake surface, he seemed to be able to see the reflected snowflakes.

"Ascend to the throne and become king," Roland paused, and then said word by word, "And then marry you as my wife."
