Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"The movie 'To Live'?"

Xia Yuan looked at the comments online and finally shook his head.

So far, he has no interest in it.

Because his film schedule is already very full.

Indeed, he could have adapted this novel into a film during the breaks between filming the Harry Potter series.

But now, it seems he has lost interest.

He has been in this line of work for so many years, and he has achieved everything he could and tried almost everything he could do.

In addition, he's getting older, and if you ignore his appearance, he's now a complete middle-aged man.

My health isn't what it used to be, so I've started focusing on health and wellness.

There's no point in pushing yourself so hard.

Moreover, such a work should simply be preserved in its original, best form; there is no need to go to great lengths to transform it into something else.

Sometimes, too much of a good thing is bad, and when desires are full, they overflow. He understood this principle very well.

Let's focus on making the Harry Potter series first.

Because this work is about to enter the next stage.

If the first part of this work is positioned as pure fantasy literature...

So, starting from the second part, the true core of this work will begin to emerge.

In summary, the first three installments are characterized by a cheerful and bright adventure.

Then, starting with the fourth installment, this work will face a huge turning point.

The light will gradually shift to darkness, revealing more details and allowing the work to showcase its original character.

Because this work is not a traditional adventure fantasy novel.

The reason it won the Qigao Literature Prize is because it has a core message, and a core message that is even more substantial than that of traditional literature.

After a few months of rest, the actors and staff of the production crew must have had enough rest.

Soon, news spread that filming for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was about to begin.

"Holy crap, I've finally waited for this! I want to watch Harry Potter right now."

"Hurry! Hurry! Take a picture! I feel like ants are crawling all over my body!"

"So the movie 'To Live' has disappeared?"

"No way. There are actually people who want to see a movie? The novel didn't make you cry enough, it didn't make you blind, now you want to torture yourself, huh?"

“This is different; this is about wanting to see art.”

"Who knows what will happen in the future, but Xia Yuan is definitely too busy right now. Actually, I'd rather read Xia Yuan's new book."

"Indeed, Xia Yuan is quite skilled at writing books, which is quite unexpected. If he can publish a few more books, wouldn't that be even better than adapting them into movies?"

"As expected, the arts industry is all about crossing boundaries in the end. Directors who have gained some status tend to publish books and collect author titles, but it's rare to see someone as successful as Xia Yuan."

"The main problem is that Xia Yuan's brain is really something else; he always manages to come up with these earth-shattering things."

However, Xia Yuan is quite interested in writing a new book.

Mainly, he found that the feeling of sitting and typing was actually quite nice.

As long as it doesn't become your full-fledged career, it's still quite interesting.

Perhaps he will continue writing books while making the movies and completing the Harry Potter series. But that's still a matter for the future.

Let's focus on making a good film for now.

Soon, under He Ye's leadership, the film crew also began to assemble quickly.

With contracts in place, the recall of the child actors went smoothly.

However, just as things were about to get on the agenda, another problem arose.

For example, Dennis, the lead actor who plays Harry and Xia Yuan's godson, suddenly experienced a voice change during this period and entered puberty.

I've reached that age.

So the recording team found Xia Yuan and explained the problem, which finally made Xia Yuan realize what was going on.

Yes, Harry wasn't old enough to go through puberty when he was in the crowd, and the storyline hadn't reached that point yet.

There will still be some differences between the actor and the role, and some issues need to be addressed and resolved.

This is a crucial question.

After a meeting, it was decided that the problem could be solved by using some technical means, so that the dubbing would not have to be redone.

That is to use AI in conjunction with human voice synthesis to achieve original sound output.

This is also thanks to the current level of AI development; the emergence of AI has indeed changed many things.

For example, similar problems would not have been so easy to solve a few years ago; they would have been more complicated and required more investment of resources.

Then there's the issue of the car. Yes, that's right, the car.

It's the old car that the Weasleys had in the story that could fly.

Because the model is so old, and most cars on the road now have been replaced with new energy vehicles, this model, which was popular at the end of the last century, is still very hard to find.

After all, meeting the needs of film shooting is not something that can be solved simply by finding some shells.

It must also be able to move and operate.

Moreover, these kinds of cars are actually considered consumables in film production.

One or two vehicles are definitely not enough.

The process of finding a car was extremely difficult for the crew.

I basically went to many junkyards before I managed to salvage a dozen or so old vehicles.

Then there's the costume design for the actors, especially for the role of Professor Lockhart.

As a fairly key character who will appear in the second part, Lockhart's character is still very important.

Gilderoy Lockhart is an internationally renowned figure and author, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class, an honorary member of the League Against the Dark Arts, and a five-time winner of The Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award.

He wrote many books that were wildly popular in the wizarding world. Among them are "Giddro Lockhart's Guide to Getting Rid of Household Pests," "The Gilderoy Lockhart Series," "Breaking Up with the Ghost," "Traveling with Ghouls," "Vacationing with a She-Devil," "Traveling with Trolls," "Boat Trip with Vampires," "Wandering with Werewolves," "A Year with the Yeti of Tibet," and "Me, the Magician."

The books he wrote recorded his battles with all sorts of magical creatures. In fact, these were collected from magicians who had actually experienced these things, not from his own personal experiences. He then used a forgetting spell to make them lose their memories.

Then at Flourish and Blotts, Lockhart spotted Harry at a book signing, pulled him up for a photo, and later became the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

But on the first day of school, Harry happily recognized himself in the photo Colin gave him and refused to be pulled in for a picture by Lockhart.

He was involved in the entire plot of the final second part.

The most typical characteristic of this character is that he flaunts his wealth and status in public. (End of Chapter)
