"Brand image spokesperson? Do you mean like Gilderoy Lockhart? But you have to know that on many occasions, my identity is not suitable for you to do promotional activities for you in person."
Dumbledore frowned slightly.
In addition to being the headmaster of Hogwarts, he is also the president of the International Federation of Wizards and the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. He also has an extraordinary reputation in the world. Naturally, he can't be like Lockhart's peacock, turning over and over again. The advocacy of the book he wrote.
"Professor, I don't want you to do that either. Isn't there still a few days before you officially announce this matter? Maybe I can make a suitable plan before discussing it with you like I did before?"
William came up with a plan.
In the wizarding world, Albus Dumbledore's influence is like Jack Horse in modern society. When did anyone see Jack Horse standing in a shop and shouting that such and such products worked?
All William needed was for Dumbledore to mention it casually during an interview. At that time, he would naturally ask the reporter to arrange a suitable setting, insert a very obvious advertisement in it, and then rely on the wizard's convenient and fast means of transportation. , Overwhelm the entire market with the cost performance of the product in a very short period of time.
After defeating Voldemort this time, he has already obtained a very suitable buffer period, and now it is time to reap the benefits.
"Why not?"
Dumbledore nodded in agreement.
"As well as this incident, I think maybe we can use it as a subject to shoot a documentary as a video material? Of course, I mean after we have dealt with some relevant details."
William took advantage of the opportunity to ask another question.
The relevant details naturally refer to the identity of the villain - it could be Yaxley, it could be Flint, or it could be some unknown or well-known dark wizard, but it all depends on the two of them. The family still has the sincerity of the Malfoy family.
"Documentary? You mean a movie? Nico hid it like a treasure. He mentioned it many times, but he didn't want to take me to watch it."
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow.
He actually saw the movie.
It was during the summer vacation this year. After visiting the reclusive Nicole Flamel and his wife, Dumbledore naturally became curious about movies, so he walked into a Muggle movie theater—he remembered that time I watched a movie called "Terminator 2".
To be honest, it wasn't a particularly pleasant experience, because he couldn't quite understand a lot of what the actors were saying.
But the experience of watching this film itself gave Dumbledore a deep shock.
Dumbledore realized that, as Heisenberg said, the wizards' understanding of ordinary people has indeed produced a huge, and still expanding, deviation.
Although the quality of the Muggle Studies taught by Hogwarts has been significantly improved through the efforts of Quirrell in the past, it is still far away from the lives of ordinary people.
It's far from being real, let alone useful.
This is actually a very dangerous signal.
"Yeah, it's like a movie, but we'll do it the wizard way and record it ourselves."
William affirmed Dumbledore's idea.
"But I heard that recording and showing movies is not a very complicated process? Even Niko can't figure out the way of those things."
Dumbledore looked a little hesitant.
He could see that this was a good opportunity.But just because this opportunity is so good, it makes him feel a little hesitant-if the resulting movie is just a very stupid thing, it's like the pantomime Fountain of Luck many years ago
That would be a disaster.
Thanks to Sylvanus' ashes, the campus hospital was overcrowded at the time, and the pungent burnt smell in the auditorium took several months to dissipate, and the head of the pantomime Professor Billy took even longer time before finally returning to normal proportions,
"Professor Dumbledore, the shooting of movies is actually much simpler than you think, and the part that is very difficult for ordinary people, we can also use magic spells and transfiguration techniques to take advantage of it."
William patiently explained.
After having magic gold, he has mastered the method of moving electrical appliances and equipment into Hogwarts.The script will not pose any problems, and there are naturally a lot of screenwriters in Hollywood who are willing to work for Mr. Franklin.As for special effects and other supporting aspects, even the best props and special effects team have to scold "Fuck" when compared with spells and transfiguration.
William has reason to believe that the best way to pry the minds of these wizards who are still alive 200 years ago is to slowly penetrate into their heads with a lot of private goods.
But he had consulted Mr. Weasley about the introduction of movies or television, and the result he got was: Although the Ministry of Magic did not explicitly prohibit it, it strongly discouraged wizards from doing similar things, especially if They also want a public screening of the movie.
The reason given by the Ministry of Magic is that it will create a bad atmosphere and may jeopardize the enforcement of the Wizarding Secrecy Act, so this is certainly not the real reason why the Ministry of Magic hinders the introduction of movies.
However, this time the event is different, and it happens to be a good window.
First of all, it is a real story that can be broadcast to the society in the form of a documentary.
Secondly, it involves many hidden stories, whether it is the secret room left by Slytherin, or the dark wizard hundreds of years ago, or even the savior as the protagonist, it is enough to attract the attention of those boring wizards.
The most important thing is that in this incident, the pure-blood nobles who should have been the biggest resistance to the promotion of movies and TV will also stand on William's side—doesn't the Malfoy family not want to cleanse themselves of not being "pure enough"? " Suspected?The Flint family and the Yaxley family were also willing to pay some price in exchange for Dumbledore's "understanding".
"Since you have confidence in this matter, I will cooperate with you."
Dumbledore finally nodded.
"The small corridor on the east side of the fourth floor has been temporarily sealed by me. When you are ready, go challenge the last level. I think even Nicole Flamel, after knowing your performance, will Would be proud of you."
He took out a bronze key from his pocket and handed it to William.
"But I think his more likely reaction would be to laugh at me for putting myself in such a mess."
William put the bronze key carefully into his pocket.
"It does sound like something he would do."
Dumbledore nodded, "Okay, I think I, an old fellow, have taken up too much of your time. If I don't find some reason to leave, I'm afraid my ears will burn."
He smiled, and his words seemed to mean something.
"Goodbye, William."
Dumbledore held out his bony right hand to William.
"Goodbye, Professor."
William took Dumbledore's right hand.
Dumbledore got up and pushed open the door of the infirmary, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor—several heads quietly appeared in the window on the door of the infirmary, after confirming that Madam Pomfrey was not here Finally, the door of the infirmary was forcefully opened.
Penello rushed to William almost like a gust of wind, her face was red, and she stretched out her hands, as if to embrace William.The Weasley brothers followed behind her, winking at William desperately.
William soon discovered that Penello's hands were like lightning, grabbed his right arm, and twisted it vigorously.
"hiss"
He couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.
Penello was really cruel and didn't save any effort.
"I thought your prophecy had expired yesterday."
William showed a wry smile, but he didn't struggle. Instead, he let Penello continue to pinch her forcefully—she seemed to be moving so hard, but William could feel that Penello's strength was also getting weaker.
"Oh, that may be my prediction was wrong."
Penello glanced at William angrily, retracted the hand pinching his arm, and looked him up and down carefully, as if wanting to make sure that he didn't lose any arms or legs due to an accident.
William smelled that reassuring scent again.The scent, he realized, came from Penello's hair, which was using a rare edition shampoo William had developed himself.
Some time ago, William referred to Gilderoy Lockhart's ideas, adding a small amount of bird snake egg yolk, and adding valerian and ghost-faced vine.These two ingredients can not only neutralize the irritation of the bird snake eggs, so as not to make the wizard and Lockhart face the dilemma of hair loss, but also add a pleasant fragrance to the shampoo.
However, due to the fact that snake eggs are too expensive, and the production of this shampoo needs to be boiled by himself, William only gave up this product line after making a small number of samples.
"You came to see me yesterday?"
William asked subconsciously.
"What are you doing! Listen. You were awake then?!"
Penello said in surprise, she raised her brows, but turned her face slightly, as if pretending that she was actually here to observe a stain on the curtain.
"I'm just guessing."
William hesitated for a moment, still not ashamed to say that he seemed to smell the fragrance of her hair in his dream, which would make him sound a little strange.Hearing William's answer, Penello also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally turned his gaze back to William.
"Cough, cough, if you don't mind."
Fred coughed exaggeratedly.
"We want to break a message."
George squeezed in too, his face equally excited.
"Our underground base outside the school is about to be completed today. I think you don't want to miss this scene, and come to give it a nice name."
It's a bit of a carver, and the next chapter will probably be a little later.
