Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Many wealthy clients, especially the super-rich, have unique aesthetic tastes in architecture.

The designers at the University of Waterdeep were well aware of this.

As an experienced designer with a large number of famous buildings, he has received many rather strange orders in his career.

A crooked castle, an upside-down house, a manor that looks like it has collapsed in half, and an 800-square-meter cat-themed luxury villa for the cats and their servants...

As for Party A, as long as the money is paid generously, even some strange requests are acceptable.

But Drogo's request was still a little too strange.

It’s not that the requirements for appearance are strange. The appearance of Waterdeep University is that of an ordinary castle. Many colleges on the mainland have this design.

The University of Waterdeep is a functional oddity.

Or rather, weird.

For example, Platform Nine and Three Quarters.

The platform sign is hung on the third pole between Platforms 9 and 10.

However, the wall between the two platforms is the entrance.

The wall is an illusion and has no substance. You can see the train after passing through the illusion wall.

There is no way. If the entrance is really only as wide as a pillar, the efficiency will probably be lost.

Between complete restoration and practicality, Drogo chose a compromise.

The entire station is actually a transfer station, where Deepwater City Urban Rail Line 1, Line 8 and the College Line intersect.

Platform 9 and 3/4 is the entrance to the College Line.

From a design perspective, building an entrance obscured by illusion has no other purpose other than making it difficult to find.

The designer doesn't have any Harry Potter sentiments.

As for the one who has feelings, he is now ready, prepared, and sprinting!
Go through the illusion and open your eyes.

A bright red steam locomotive was waiting to depart on the platform, with a sign in the middle of the front clearly reading "Hogwarts Express".

This Hogwarts is not like its prototype, which only runs a few days a year. This one is quite busy.

We can't lock up all the students in school and only let them out once a semester.

Drogo was very satisfied to see the scene which was almost the same as he remembered from the movie.

Moving back and forth on both sides of the illusion wall.

"I come in, I go out, woo-hoo!"

The principal and the designer looked at each other.

"Mr. Drogo, has he always been like this?"

"I, I'm not sure. I've only known him for a short time."

“Why do I feel a little bit…” The designer hesitated to speak.

"I have a childlike sense of fun and always keep a childlike heart, so I can always design toys that children like."

"Yes, yes, that's what I meant..."

Afterwards, the designer led Zhuo Ge and the principal to inspect other facilities in the campus.

Especially the ones Drogo specifically requested.

Some of them, the designers found very useful, such as the illusion that can be used to simulate various sky scenes and applied to the ceiling of the cafeteria.

This is a great idea, why hasn't anyone thought of it before? It's not difficult to implement.

Currently, the most common ways to decorate the ceiling are basically wall painting and sculpture.

The construction period is very long, and no matter how good the result is, you will get bored after looking at it for a long time.

It’s better to have this illusion ceiling, you can adjust what you want to see.

learned.

And a commercial street called Diagon Alley.

How did you come up with the idea of ​​building a bunch of shops in the school?

In order to maintain the so-called "purity" of academics and knowledge, most schools are very reluctant to allow shops to appear on campus.

In fact, it only caused trouble and forced students to buy them outside the school.

It would be better to buy all the goods needed for study and life in school.

Currently, all the shops in Diagon Alley are still vacant. Except for a few fixed locations where Drogo has reserved what to sell, the rest are for rent.

The designer was thinking about taking this opportunity to buy a store and sell anything.

If this school can be run, the shops in Diagon Alley will be a lucrative business.

However, there was one thing in this unique commercial street that he didn't quite understand.

Drogo decided to open a hotel in a building with a good location and a large area.

Why do we need a hotel in school?

The designer couldn't understand this at all.

However, these two are the only two places where designers think they are useful.

The rest are useless.

Stairs that change direction automatically, new students should at least memorize the route a few weeks before arriving;
Paintings of characters with elementary intelligence and the ability to chat with people often cause headaches in the corridors. Drogo wants to have normal intelligence, but unfortunately he can't, so he can only settle for the next best thing;

The club activity room, also known as the Room of Requirement, is a scroll that will be given to the club after it applies for the room. Once triggered, a portal-shaped teleportation array will be generated on the nearest wall. However, it requires a lot of concentration to trigger, and the difficulty is no less than learning a new spell, so it is very likely that the room will not open after applying for it.

The most bizarre thing is that Drogo asked for some undead ghosts to float in the school.

Who, seriously building a school, would allow ghosts to roam around in the teaching building? Wouldn’t that be scary?

And all kinds of weird facilities.

When the designer received the client's requirements, he was very confused. It didn't look like building a school at all, but rather like building a playground.

After Zhuo Ge came to inspect it today, the designer became more certain of his original judgment.

It was built for fun.

Drogo was jumping up and down on the moving stairwell. He was obviously a flying dragon, so why was he running on the stairs?

"very good."

Drogo praised.

"You have done a great job. I believe we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."

“Thank you for your appreciation.” The designer replied.

Having said that, he wasn't sure whether he should take such a job next time.

It's too nerve-wracking.

The entire team shed a lot of hair to achieve the effects that Drogo needed.

Perhaps baldness is the fate of the design industry. His teacher's head is already shiny, and his own hair is becoming thinner.

Zhuo Ge walked around the empty campus for several hours before he completed the acceptance inspection with satisfaction.

What Universal Studios? Compared with his level of restoration, it's as rough as a street.

The "hardware" part is fine, and the "software" part must naturally match.

In the original Harry Potter, apart from the time-turner whose effect is simply amazing, Flynn basically has all the other magical props, and it is not difficult to reproduce those that are missing.

The time-turner was truly incredible. Drogo couldn't quite understand it now. In a background world where the magical ability was not very high, how could there be an item based on rules that was not difficult to activate?

It can only be explained as a story. Don't take it too seriously. Just enjoy it.

Drogo purchased all kinds of magic props and snacks directly from merchant groups with which he had good relations.

The only thing you need to do yourself is the Sorting Hat.

This thing is also super model, as a magic prop, it has super intelligence, extensive knowledge, and can read minds. Drogo asked Old El if he could make one.

Old Al replied: "You look like a Sorting Hat to me."

However, Drogo had no intention of reading minds and sorting people into different houses based on their personalities.

People with similar personalities are grouped together, but there are still big differences between each group of people. Most importantly, the school also encourages competition among several colleges.

It can be called a petri dish for bullying.

If there is no factionalism or conflicts, it would be a shame to have this branch system.

Drogo plans to make the branch more like a school.

Each college corresponds to different departments and majors.

Gryffindor is full of practical majors that require hands-on skills, such as the School of Evolution, the School of Conjuration, the School of Protection, geological exploration, and journalism.

There is also criminology, a new major created by the Devil and the Twin Towers City Guards. It does not teach how to commit crimes, but is a behavioral science that studies crimes.

Hufflepuff, School of Transmutation, School of Enchanting, Medicine, Priesthood, Alchemy, Education, Engineering, in short, they are all professions that stand out from the world.

Ravenclaw, School of Prophecy, pure liberal arts, pure science, philosophy, archaeology, biology, sociology, as many theories as you want. It is estimated that it may not be easy to find a job after graduation.

Slytherin, School of Illusion, School of Necromancer, Finance and Law.

What? Why is Law Slytherin?

Please, that's a major whose main career direction is lawyer.

It is not difficult to find that this is a school with both magic and technology majors.

It is also the first school in mainland China to do so.

Drogo believes that the combination of magic and technology is the future.

Interdisciplinary!

For students who want to come here, they should choose their major when applying, and usually they can choose a group of choices.

As for what role the Sorting Hat plays in this process.

It is used for candidates who have passed the score line but did not get admitted to any of the majors they applied for.

The Sorting Hat×

Adjustment cap√
For candidates who need to be transferred, the notification letter does not tell them what major they are transferring to.

Just come and accept the adjustment, and the sorting hat will announce it on the spot.

It must be exciting.

The intelligence level of the Sorting Hat is only to the extent that it can compose lines based on the admission information that has been arranged in advance.

In this way, a Hogwarts belonging to Drogo was basically formed.

Now all that’s missing is the students.

This is also the issue that the principal is currently most concerned about. It is not a good thing for a principal to be alone.

"Mr. Zhuogo, when will our university start recruiting students and how will we do that?" the principal asked anxiously.

The first batch of students for the middle school has been confirmed, but there is still no movement at the university.

Now that the school has been built, it’s time to get things on the right track.

"No hurry," said Zhuo Ge, "We want to develop into the best school on the continent, so we must first make it well-known."

"Build up the reputation first?" The principal didn't quite understand. It takes a long time to build the reputation of a school, and there is no such thing as building a reputation without having students.

"Yes, believe me, it won't be long before Hogwarts becomes an Internet celebrity school." Drogo said affirmatively.

The principal feels that the term "Internet celebrity school" is not a good term.

Seeing the principal's hesitation, Zhuo Ge explained, "If you want to have enough people apply for the exam, academic achievements are definitely the main thing, but pure fame is also a help. With sufficient students, academic achievements can attract better students and form a positive cycle. As for the first step to fame, you should be able to see it soon."

In fact, most students who are preparing to enter higher education institutions do not have a specific understanding of the school or the major.

It is a common phenomenon to choose the one that is famous.

There is no unified examination even within Sutton, let alone Sutton as a whole.

Each school has its own exams, and some even have conflicting times.

If you sign up for one, you can't go to the other.

However, the number of students capable of going to university is not as sufficient as that of students attending middle school.

At least it won't be sufficient until Drogo's education model is promoted.

Therefore, for Hogwarts, it is not enough to rely on the student loan policy alone. There must also be an illusion that this school is a prestigious one in order to compete with other schools for students.

Hogwarts Marketing Plan, launched!
The first step is to find organizations that rank and evaluate schools and recharge your account.

Make Hogwarts familiar to the public.

The second step is to get as much acquaintance as possible from the elders of the Mages Guild.

Every one of them, all the professors here, don't care whether they can come to class, how many students they can teach, or how many times their students can see their professors in a year.

In short, there are many legends among the teachers at Hogwarts.

Besides, the teaching staff is not bad, it’s just not that famous.

The teachers recruited by Drogo are similar to the principal. They are all mages who have made academic achievements but lack practical skills, so they have a low status in the traditional evaluation system.

Most of the teachers in the science field come from the Drogo Group.

I dare not say that our research capabilities exceed those of Shuangtacheng Research Institute, but I can say that what we teach in school can be seamlessly integrated with work.

Anyone who has experienced the painful period from college to employment knows how valuable it is.

The third step, which is also the most far-reaching step, is to plant the "Erhu Dream" in children's hearts from an early age.

When I grew up, I was full of longing for Hogwarts.

It is best to choose Huo when you are going to college, otherwise give up.

In order to achieve this goal, Drogo must of course bring out the giant in the children's literature world, the "Harry Potter" series, which is not only famous but also good at making money.

This time, Drogo does not plan to film Shadow of Mordor, but decides to start from the novel like the original.

Because in the story of Demon Shadow, many details are not shown and the world view is not described sufficiently.

Simply put, it is not convenient to make it into an IP.

Even if we film Shadow of the Demons, we have to produce a novel as a supplement, so it would be better to write the novel first.

However, if you want to write Harry Potter here, some adaptation is necessary.

First of all, the use of magic in actual combat is a bit sloppy, mainly because the original work does not focus on combat. The only things that impressed me were Avada eating the big melon and Expelliarmus.

Moreover, these two spells can also counter each other.

Drogo needs to adapt his spells into one that is more suitable for the baby Felin's physique.

At least it should be close to the one in Hogwarts Legacy.

We also need to incorporate some of Drogo's ideas into the Hogwarts in the book, such as being a magic school that actively engages in technology.

And some miscellaneous things on the detailed background.

After making an outline of the parts that needed to be revised, Drogo began to write the story.

I remember a very provocative topic was once discussed on the Earth Network.

Is the level of Harry Potter higher than that of online literature?

Drogo chose to address the problem at its source.

Serialize Harry Potter on the Internet and turn it into online literature.

Open the host, and you will find that online literature is still in its original state, serialized in forums and BBS, but there are already special sections.

Drogo typed on the web page, "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, who live at 4 Privet Street, are very proud to claim that they are perfectly normal people..." (End of this chapter)
