Overturning Hogwarts

The designers were a little disappointed when they heard Zhang Rui's request. In their opinion, how much can a stick cost? Might as well just break off a branch.

"Is it just a small stick like this? Don't you think about the scythe?"

"What are the requirements for length and thickness? Does it have to be made of wood?"

Even if you don't understand what your boss says, you should do it. This is the corporate culture of Zhang Rui's company.

"In the setting of my TV series, wizards perform magic by waving their wands. They hold the wand with one hand and wave it gracefully, rather than holding it with two hands like a stick."

Zhang Wei tried to help designers understand what the wand should look like based on usage scenarios, rather than directly telling them specific data.

"For a wizard, the wand cannot be left behind. When eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, or even taking a shower, you need to be able to take out the wand."

Zhang Rui remembered that the little girl wizard he met before actually hid the wand in the clothes on her chest... He always thought that the wand was hidden in the sleeve.

Also, for little wizards whose bodies are not fully developed, if the wand is placed in the sleeve, the arm cannot be bent at will when eating, unless only eating with one hand and placing the other hand vertically to the side.

I just don’t know if anyone has a wand hidden in their skirt.

"As for the material, let's not make any requirements for now."

Although Zhang Rui's impression is that all wands are made of wood, such as huanghuali, rosewood, tamarisk, or peach wood, but they are fake anyway, so it doesn't matter. At most, they can be painted with a layer of paint.

After listening to the boss's description, the designers began to express their own ideas.

"If you want to make it easier to carry, it can be designed to be telescopic. Pull it out when in use. Press it back when not in use. You can also adjust the length according to everyone's usage habits."

A telescopic wand? Ollivander would be furious if he found out.

"Okay, is there any more?" (perfunctory~)

"You can design a small iron ring on both ends of the wand, and use an iron chain to connect the two wands to become a nunchuck."

Bruce Lee will give you a thumbs up when he hears it.

"Yeah, that's creative." (Continue to be perfunctory~)

"Add a light bulb in the front, put a battery in the back, and connect it with wires in the middle to make a wand that can light up."

Can it shine? It's a bit magical.

Zhang Rui imagined himself holding a fake magic wand, shouting "fluorescent flash", and then pushing the flashlight switch...

"Not bad, I like this." (Smile encouragingly)

"How about making a wand-shaped lighter?"

This is not bad, but the fire is too small. A low-end version with "flaming blazing"?

"You can also make a water gun."

A less magical version of "Like a clear spring"?

"If you use batteries, you can also connect a small fan to the tip of the stick. The fan blades are usually stored inside and can be pushed out when in use."

Can this thing deceive people? Are you blind?

"It can be like this..."

"this is okay too……"

"And there's this..."

With Zhang Rui's encouragement, everyone continued to come up with new ideas, some of which were terrifying to him who had "experienced" real magic.

The only pity is that each wand has a single purpose, but all of them combined can definitely scare ordinary wizards.

"No, no, it's too dangerous. We can't produce toys like this for children to play with."

The person in charge of production safety couldn't stand it anymore. These designs were getting more and more outrageous and were almost becoming weapons of destruction.

The law has many regulations on the safety of children's toys, and those that do not meet safety requirements are not allowed to be produced.

"Don't worry, the final decision on the product will not be made until the filming of the Wizard TV series begins. By then, it must comply with legal safety requirements."

Zhang Rui didn't really want to make a TV series, this was just an excuse to make a TV series. Naturally, he hopes to make the "magic wand" as powerful as possible.

"As for the ideas I just mentioned, I like them all, so please make various samples first and have a look."

"There are dozens of things we just discussed. Do we really want to do them all?"

"That's right, do it all, and do it within this month. If you have other work at hand, stop all of it, and focus on this first."

Zhang Rui nodded affirmatively, because he was a fake, so he could only rely on the quantity of equipment to win. And I am going to London at the end of the month, so naturally the sooner the better.

"Let the costume department make a few more one-piece wizard robes with hoods based on my figure, mainly black, with some designs on the lining so that I can carry more wands or hold other things."

The wand is there, and so is the wizard's robe.

"By the way, prepare a few of those crystal balls that someone mentioned before. The ones that light up and play music. Don't add little people and houses to them, just have the style of a crystal ball."

"There are also all the small toys on the market, simple and easy to carry, buy a few of each, and don't need dolls."

What else do you need to bring?

Because he didn't see the shopping list for the first-year students, Zhang Rui couldn't think of anything else besides wands, wizard robes, and crystal balls.

Book? Forget it.

Snape seems to teach potions. If you can't learn magic, you can only focus on potions. But although he is a good person, he is not easy to deal with.

"Now they are making various chemical tools and utensils. They also help me buy one or two sets. Forget about the ones that need electricity."

"Senior" said that Hogwarts had no electricity and was still using candles and oil lamps for lighting.

Naturally, there was a secretary on the side who was responsible for recording and implementing Zhang Rui's instructions.

"Okay, if there are no other questions, let's adjourn the meeting. Whatever happens later, you can figure it out yourself. I'll come back at the end of the month to pick up those things."

After Zhang Rui assigned the tasks, he dismissed all the staff, and he himself planned to leave, leaving the big shopkeeper behind.

Everyone is accustomed to this phenomenon. Zhang Rui goes to the mainland to film for several months every year. The company also has dedicated people in charge to supervise various departments.

……

"Brother Zhang Rui, stop hiding, I know you are here."

Not long after Zhang Rui left, a delicate-looking little girl came here running and jumping, opened the office door and walked in.

"Miss Lin!"

The beautiful secretary was just lying on the chair trying to catch up on some sleep, and quickly stood up to say hello.

"Where's brother Zhang Rui? Didn't he say he's back?" The little girl didn't see Zhang Rui and looked at the secretary eagerly.

"Master Rui, he just left." The secretary said cautiously. The fact that the eldest lady is here means that the man is also outside.

"Then where did he go?"

"This...I can't..."

"Where is Zhang Rui?" A thick male voice came from outside the door.

"Going to the mainland."

"When are you coming back?"

"Master Rui said it will be before the end of the month."

"Oh, grandpa, does Brother Zhang Rui not like playing with me?" The little girl turned around and hugged the man's thigh and asked with a cry.

The man stroked the little girl's hair lovingly and said nothing.
