Chatty Hollywood

"Emily, you are so old, do you still watch cartoons?"

Just when the opening credits of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" just started, Jaina, who shared a dormitory with Emily, came back.

When the other party saw Emily watching a cartoon, an exaggerated expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Emily just shrugged.

Unlike Emily, who has a strong personality and strong fighting ability, but is very disciplined most of the time, Gianna is the type of girl who often appears in American universities.

They have good looks and good figures, they like gossip and drama, and they always talk in weird ways.

In Emily's view, this kind of Gianna is somewhat similar to Tsui in "Happy Death Day".

But Cui's charm in the movie is based on the reversal of the story, the gradually improving cool character, and Charlize Theron's super good looks.

Emily may like Jade in the movie, but she doesn't feel very much about Gianna in reality.

In particular, Emily returned to the dormitory several times and found socks hanging on the doorknob of the dormitory...

"Isn't this kind of trick usually used in boys' dormitories?"

Although Emily wisely did not go in to avoid embarrassment and needle eyes at the time, she still complained to Gianna very dissatisfied afterwards.

“What men can do, why can’t we women do it?”

To Emily's surprise, Gianna is also a "feminist."

Of course, what the other party said makes sense. But considering that the other party left the used condoms on Emily's bed, Emily, who has a bit of a Texas personality, decided to "act first and think about the reasons later"...

Anyway, after experiencing the bruise and swollen face, Jaina was a little afraid of Emily.

——At the very least, the numerical crushing of combat power cannot be overcome without spending money.

However, if you don't have an opponent in hand, you will find ways to take advantage verbally.

This is a common mentality among humans, and Jaina is no exception——

From then on, Gianna always wanted to provoke Emily, and Emily, who was equally tough, had no intention of showing weakness.

——Even if she occasionally fails when talking, she still has fists!

In short, although the relationship between these roommates cannot be said to be a fire and water, it is definitely not friendly.

So, as soon as she saw Emily watching "Youth" cartoons today, Jaina felt that she had found an opportunity again...

Emily didn't care about this.

After all, Emily has been watching various horror movies with her father since she was a child, and she also secretly enjoyed his father's private collection of Fernando Valley specialties when he was not at home. Emily is "well-informed".

She didn't care about Jaina's sarcasm.

What's more, Emily really doesn't think it's strange for adults to watch cartoons.

You know, unlike China, many cartoons and animated films in the United States also consider the feelings of adult audiences...

"Only a kid who always feels like he's grown up would look down on cartoons!"

Emily's sarcasm can be said to have knocked everyone over with one stroke, but from a certain perspective, she did hit Jaina's weakness.

"..."

Although she wanted to argue with Emily about who had not grown up, Jaina also vaguely understood that if she continued to argue, she would lose.

Due to the intimidation of Emily's fist, Jaina could not say some words starting with F.

In desperation, Jaina simply sat down next to Emily angrily.

"I want to see what kind of cartoons are not for little kids to watch!"

Then, five minutes later——

"Emily, Emily, the animated characters here are so lifelike, but also so cute! Is this 3D animation?"

"Forehead."

"I like Dudley the most in it. Is he the protagonist?"

"..."

"Your eyes are so blind! Or maybe it's because Dudley looks so much like you,

So you consciously took on his role? "

Emily complained viciously in her heart.

After a while——

"Emily, Emily, why are there so many owls?"

"They're here to deliver Harry's admission to Hogwarts."

"Forehead."

Jaina was silent for a moment,

"I seem to have such an owl too!"

"..."

After that——

"Emily, Emily—"

"What are you doing again!?"

At this time, Emily only felt like there were five hundred ducks chattering in her ears. She was already very irritable when this happened while watching her favorite series.

But Jaina, who had been completely immersed in the plot of the cartoon, did not realize this.

"The way Diagon Alley opens, it looks so magical!"

Emily agreed with Gianna's comment.

In fact, in the cartoon, the shots of Diagon Alley, a magical street, gradually unfolding in the corners of London streets, are very shocking.

Emily even felt that this part of the shot had a feeling that was not inferior to the special effects shots in a movie.

"Cartoons produced by great directors are just different!"

As a big fan, Emily also gave a like to her idol Charlotte.

Jaina on the other hand did not know who produced this animation, but this did not prevent her from liking the animation "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

After all, if you like eating eggs, you don’t necessarily need to know the hen that lays them, right?

However, after the animation ended, in order to prevent Emily from ridiculing her because of her previous disdain for cartoons, Jaina took the initiative to lead the conversation in the direction of discussing the plot——

"Emily, what kind of wand do you think Harry will get in the end?"

"How do I know this?"

Emily muttered.

Because the premiere episode will be relatively long, Charlotte added a lot of content in it.

Although as a full-length TV animation, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" does not need to delete as many details as filming a movie, Charlotte still speeded up the progress by adjusting the narrative technique.

At least, after the premiere episode, Harry has arrived in Diagon Alley and started picking out a wand.

——This is far more than just one chapter of the plot.

This is actually something that can't be helped.

Although the original work of J.K. Rowling's "The Philosopher's Stone" has a sophisticated plot design, it is still dull in the beginning.

If Charlotte doesn't try to speed up the plot, most of the premiere episode will probably be scenes that have nothing to do with magic. How can this attract the audience?

You know, the premiere episode of an American TV series has the same effect as the Golden Three Chapters of the Internet——

It's not attractive at the beginning, but why don't you think about it later?

Sometimes people may mistake the protagonist like Jaina did. Even because of the beginning, it is not unusual to regard the heroine as the protagonist.

Especially if you don’t write well at the beginning of the Internet, you can still keep writing. After all, there is still hope after writing one million words!

But American dramas that are based on ratings do not have this opportunity. If the ratings of the premiere episode are not good, they are basically not far away from being cut in half.

Under this circumstance, Charlotte naturally had to try to speed up the pace and release all the attractive content.

Even the audience Emily can see this,

"The pace of the premiere episode is so fast and the amount of information given is so great!"

"Yeah?"

Compared to Emily, who has read countless films, Gianna, who is still just a novice, cannot see these problems.

"I think it's very interesting and easy to understand!"

"That's because the director's narrative level is too high!"

Emily shrugged, feeling relieved.

——Since novice viewers like Jaina can understand it, then this animation won’t have the problem of being too highbrow, right?

Emily feels that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is stable...
