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

Among them, Ron's young actor, Wright, was holding a roll of duct tape and wrapping it around his wand.

In the story, his broken wand, inherited from his brother, was broken when he was driving a flying car to school and was intercepted by the Whomping Willow.

It can be said that it has reached the end of its lifespan.

However, since it was his own fault, and the Weasley family was really dirt poor, the cost of getting Ron a new wand was simply too high, since wands have never been cheap.

So he can only wrap it up briefly and then continue using it.

After a while, the young actor finally sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you? I'm finished."

“You’re finished.” Dennis nodded from the side.

But at this time.

"Hi Harry!"

A young actor came up with an old-fashioned camera and shouted excitedly.

Dennis had just turned his gaze away.

The young actor pressed the shutter, and a bright flash of light appeared.

Then he excitedly said, "My name is Colin Crevy, and I'm also a Gryffindor!"

“Hi, Colin, nice to meet you,” Dennis replied with a nod.

"Um, could your friend take a picture of the two of us together? It would be to prove that I saw you. I want to show it to my dad. He's a milkman. Everyone in my family is a Muggle except me. They only found out I could use magic when I received my Hogwarts acceptance letter. Before that, everyone thought I was crazy."

Colin was very excited, just like a fan who had finally met their favorite celebrity.

Little Wright gave a helpless smile, just like Ron: "Hehehe, how amazing."

However, it was at the same time again.

Xia Yuan stood in front of the monitor, holding a walkie-talkie: "Okay, props team, release!"

At Xia Yuan's command, the prop team, which had been prepared in advance, pushed up a cage containing an owl.

It was none other than Errol, the silly owl from the Ron family, who was 'actor'.

In fact, these owls were one of the challenges in the Harry Potter film series.

In this film series, owls play a significant role, even becoming a crucial element of the plot.

Therefore, a large number of owls are needed.

Owls are protected animals, even in foreign countries. They are protected by law, and even keeping one requires extremely strict procedures and reviews. It's not something you can just do whenever you want.

The same applies to using it for filming.

So how to get the owls involved is another problem.

However, getting so many owls isn't that difficult.

The real challenge lies in training these owls to understand and follow instructions.

Secondly, you also need to pay attention to the scale during this process.

You must not harm these owls.

After all, animal protection has always been a very serious topic in the West, and animal rights activists are very sensitive about it.

It could even be described as extreme.

During this process, the crew must absolutely ensure the safety of every owl, and not allow any owl to be injured or even die due to filming.

Otherwise, those aggressive animal rights organizations won't care about you; they'll definitely swarm you and cause trouble.

Of course, that's the hardest part?
of course not.

The most difficult part is that among the many owls, there are some that are very special. They are the owls belonging to the main characters and are magical pets.

In the story, these owls serve as messengers, tasked with serving the magician.

Therefore, specific behavioral patterns need to be trained to cooperate with filming. For example, the owl in Harry Potter, the white Hedwig.

In fact, the production team prepared fifteen owls that looked similar for filming.

Each brain has a limited capacity and a limited amount of training capacity, so each one is specially trained with different content.

Then, depending on the specific needs, different Hedwig lenses are used for filming.

The same applies to Errol.

Actually, training an owl to be a silly owl is harder than training a normal one like Hedwig.

The production team also invested a great deal of money in this regard.

For example, right now, the one that's going to appear is Errol No. 3, which has undergone special training and is specifically used to film the delivery of messages and the impact with the ground.

Unlike Errol No. 1, who can't hold onto the branches and will fall down, and Errol No. 2, who can use special techniques to crash into glass.

The props lady opened the cage: "Number three, fly!"

twitter!

So, on command, Errol number three grabbed the red envelope handed to him by the prop master and flew towards the set.

"Ron, is that your owl?"

As Colin asked a question, all the young actors at the same Gryffindor table turned to look at the camera.

The aerial footage follows the flight path of Errol 3.

At this moment, everyone watched Errol nervously, including Xia Yuan.

Because, as long as they are human actors, they are all essentially the same. There may be differences in skill levels, but they can all be trained, and their behavior and filming are relatively stable.

But these little animals are different; you can never know what they're thinking.

Therefore, it is difficult to confine their behavior to a specific scope.

There are even instances where, in order to film a specific shot of a small animal, the entire crew has to wait for it to be in a good mood so that it can perform the required action.

Sometimes, if things don't go smoothly, you might not be able to get a suitable shot even after a whole day.

Owls, in particular, can be quite unpredictable at times.

In other words, he's very mischievous.

Limiting their behavior is even more difficult, extremely difficult.

This time was better, at least the trainer's efforts were shown.

Sure enough, number three Errol flew over along the trajectory.

Then, when he placed the letter in front of Little Wright, he tripped and fell headfirst into the popcorn, displaying the typical behavior of a silly owl.

This caused all the young actors in the audience to burst into laughter.

The entire crew, including Xia Yuan, breathed a sigh of relief.

"That damn bird is so annoying."

Little Wright took the red envelope from the bird's beak.

Immediately afterwards, Errol III flipped itself up and flew back.

After leaving the camera's view, it circled once before flying back into its cage.

"Well done."

The prop master then took out freeze-dried snacks as a reward for the little one.

The little creature immediately took the snack and started eating it, its bright eyes seemingly proving that it wasn't really a silly little bird. (End of Chapter)
