Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 487 The Three Conscripts: The Wizarding World Welcomes Its Saviors

No one at the scene was surprised by the "disappearance of a person" phenomenon, as it was not the first time they had witnessed it.

No matter how many times I see it, the other person is still so amazing.

Many men at the scene couldn't help but steal glances at the alluring, poppy-like Eastern woman.

Beneath Aunt Penny's oversized, dowdy pajamas lay an undeniably alluring figure, her delicate face radiating charm, every smile and gesture exuding captivating allure.

She exudes a mature and alluring aura, like a ripe peach, possessing a fatal attraction for men.

Such an unparalleled beauty is none other than Mine Fujiko!

Since Lupin III had delivered himself to his doorstep, Ono Takeshi naturally wouldn't be polite and directly conscripted his men.

Not only that, Ono Takeshi also set his sights on his "accomplices".

Therefore, under the "persuasion" of Ono Takeshi, Lupin III not only patted his chest and agreed to act as the crew's makeup artist, but also readily "betrayed" his companions, saying that he would definitely drag them "into the mess".

Or rather, Lupin III already had this idea himself, without even needing Ono Takeshi's suggestion.

How can you be the only one who "suffers"?

As companions, we must share both good times and bad!

"Hmph, serves you right for being so disloyal, abandoning me and running away..."

Lupin III was secretly gloating.

No one knows what methods this guy used, but he finally succeeded in persuading Fujiko Mine and Daisuke Jigen to become a conscript for Takeshi Onino.

Of course, it's also possible that they knew they were in the wrong and didn't want to associate with the expert, Takeshi Nobi.

In short, Fujiko Mine and Daisuke Jigen joined the cast.

Just as the role of Penny Dursley hadn't been cast yet, Takeshi Ono directly assigned it to Fujiko Mine.

When Fujiko Mine learned that she would be playing a mean-spirited, child-abusing middle-aged woman, she was naturally very unhappy at first.

However, when Ono Takeshi promised to tell her about a priceless treasure afterward, the woman's expression immediately changed, and she instantly became proactive.

"What kind of treasure is it?!"

"A manor villa built entirely of gold, how about it, interested?"

Seeing the mysterious smile on Ono Takeshi's lips, Mine Fujiko's eyes immediately lit up with golden light.

It's done!

It's just playing a middle-aged woman, what's the big deal? This is called sacrificing for art!
Fujiko Mine is such a person who has transcended vulgar tastes!

Not only Fujiko Mine, but even Lupin III and Daisuke Jigen, who were originally reluctant, became very interested after hearing this.

Golden Villa?

It sounds so luxurious that it's incredibly tempting!

While they were interested, the three were also shocked by it.

It's unbelievable that someone would build a manor out of gold!

They did not doubt Ono Takeshi's words. The thought that there was actually a real "golden house" in the world made the three top thieves unable to suppress their restless impulse.
Unfortunately, Ono Takeshi then kept everyone in suspense, and the three of them could only try their best to suppress their inner itch and obediently cooperate in the performance.

Looking at the three extremely obedient and well-behaved guys, Ono Takeshi revealed a meaningful smile.

At his current level, he has become much less hesitant about certain things and certain people.

Perhaps we can use Lupin III and his group to probe Karasuma Renya's background.

Ono Takeshi was quite interested in this mysterious behind-the-scenes "big boss".

This is perfect—killing two birds with one stone!
However, this matter is not urgent and requires further consideration to avoid involving oneself as much as possible.

The most urgent task is to make a good film, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

With the "Twilight Villa" as a carrot dangling in front of them, there was no need to worry about Lupin III and his ilk being outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.

Thus, Fujiko Mine, this peerless beauty, dutifully and tirelessly played the role of an aging, middle-aged woman.

At this moment, "Vernon Dursley" next to her also removed his "mask," revealing a bearded, kidney-shaped face.

It's Daisuke Jigen!

The contrast between his lean physique and the obese Vernon Dursley's appearance, especially with his disproportionately small head and pig-like face on his round body, created a truly incongruous and amusing scene.

However, one has to admire Lupin III's disguise skills; he was able to perfectly transform Daisuke Jigen into Vernon Dursley without a single flaw, which is truly incredible.

As expected of a product of Detective Conan!

It rivals top-tier special effects technology.

This is also why Ono Takeshi insisted on keeping Lupin III and the others around; it would save him a lot of effort.

Wouldn't a fool not take advantage of a good deal?

With these three free and useful men, the filming of the movie went much more smoothly.

After securing another take, they began filming the second scene.

It is also one of the highlights of the entire film.

Harry Potter received his acceptance letter from Hogwarts!
The gears of fate begin to turn!
This scene plays a crucial role in the plot, serving as a bridge between what came before and what will come after.

Fortunately, the filming wasn't too difficult. The owl delivering the letter, Takeshi Ono, was presented using a combination of physical props and post-production special effects, so the main focus was on the actors' performances and emotional responses.

Without a doubt, the protagonist of this scene is Harry Potter, also known as Philip.

Philip needs a clear emotional shift here.

First, he was surprised that he had received a letter, because no one had ever sent him a letter before.

Then came the doubts and speculations: who could have sent it to me?
Hogwarts? What kind of place is that?
A magic school?! There really are magic schools in the world?!
From surprise to doubt, and then from suspicion to shock, the emotions need to progress step by step, interspersed with skepticism, confusion, and helplessness.

Such complex and ever-changing emotions are not easy for an eight-year-old child, especially one who has never been exposed to acting before.

The first attempt failed as expected.

The problem was indeed with Philip.

"Doubt! Philip! Your first reaction is doubt, because you don't believe that magic schools exist in this world!"

Ono Takeshi carefully instructed Philip, showing no impatience. After all, the other party was a child, and the rough attitude usually used towards adult actors was obviously inappropriate; he needed to be more patient.

Fortunately, Takeshi Ono has no shortage of patience.

For anything Philip didn't understand, I explained it to him in detail until he understood.

Despite Ono Takeshi's efforts, unsurprisingly... he failed again!
Three times in a row, Philip made some mistakes, forcing him to do it all over again.

"Sorry……"

Philip was very sensible. Knowing that he had dragged the team down, he apologized to Ono Takeshi with a guilty conscience, without showing any arrogance or haughtiness because of his status.

Oni no Takeshi, however, was not angry.

Children's movies are notoriously difficult to make, and he had already prepared himself mentally beforehand.

Moreover, Philip's attitude was very good, but since he had no acting experience, he didn't quite grasp the character at first.

Such things are inevitable, and Oni no Takeshi can only correct him again and again.

Seeing his patient attitude, Philip felt even more guilty, so he tried his best to emulate Harry Potter's mindset.

The others didn't criticize Philip either, since even the director, Takeshi Onino, had no objections, so they naturally couldn't say anything.

In comparison, Fujiko Mine and Daisuke Jigen's performances were outstanding, perfectly capturing the Dursleys' disbelief, fear, disgust, and annoyance upon seeing the letter from Hogwarts.

Although neither of them are professional actors, their professions and employment environments all require them to have outstanding acting skills.

In particular, Fujiko Mine is known for her "changeability," having a thousand faces and a thousand personalities.

You should know that she is the model for Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo!

Moreover, both of them are extremely intelligent, so there was no difficulty in performing them.

Ultimately, with Takeshi Ono's patient guidance and Fujiko Mine's cooperation, Philip gradually grasped Harry Potter's mindset, and his performance improved steadily.

After ten takes, the scene was successfully filmed.

The whole group breathed a sigh of relief.

The two scenes took a whole day to film.

Ono Takeshi did not show any displeasure. Compared to the filming schedule, the initial adjustment period was more important.

It's absolutely worth spending a little time on this.

The truth was as he expected.

Then Philip seemed to have a complete breakthrough, and his performance became better and better, smoother and smoother, which also accelerated the pace of the performance.

To escape the seemingly endless stream of college acceptance letters that kept popping up from every corner, the Dursleys had no choice but to flee with Harry in a panic, eventually hiding near a deserted lighthouse in a dilapidated hut.

They thought they could escape the nasty and terrifying magical world this way, but just as night fell, amidst thunder and lightning, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared!

The Dursleys were terrified by the inhumanly tall stature of the Dursleys.

However, this strange man was unusually kind to Harry and even brought him a birthday cake.

Harry was shocked to learn from this man named Rubeus Hagrid, who claimed to be the keeper of the Hogwarts hunting grounds, that he was actually a young wizard!

And... the existence of that mysterious world!

Guided by Hagrid, Harry stepped into the world of wizards!
It seemed like a predetermined fate, and the Dursleys could not stop it whether they wanted to or not.

The wizarding world will eventually welcome their savior!

"Card!"

Takeshi Ono was very satisfied with this scene.

Having memories of his past life, he was very adept at filming.

Moreover, the actors all gave a great performance.

This made everything seem to go very smoothly.

"Scene change!"

At Ono Takeshi's command, the crew immediately sprang into action.

With the groundwork laid, Harry Potter is about to step into the magical world that has captivated countless people!
"Next up, Diagon Alley!"
