Harry Potter and the Necromancer

"Look! Their work is still very efficient."

Guillermo del Toro saw the document signed by Regulus Black just now. Although it was not his instruction, he obviously knew the way of these things, but he did not expect Regulus Black to be so easy to talk to.

"I have a dairy farm elsewhere, and if I run out of cash, I can use the cows to pay the bills."

Regulus Black is no joke. Although the cost of filming a movie is not small, the income of dairy farmers is also quite a lot.

Director Guillermo del Toro took this sentence as a joke, and laughed while discussing special effects with Connelly and White. Regulus Black listened carefully, and after a while he couldn't help but ask.

"Did you say that computer special effects are calculated per second? Then would it be better to combine prop effects with computer special effects?"

Maybe someone will ask this question in the future, but obviously no one will think of it now.

Because props and special effects take too long to apply makeup on actors, and computer special effects take too long to adjust the image of each frame.

"If we combine the two and perform tonal rendering based on relatively simple makeup special effects, would it be easier?"

Regulus Black's words made the director and special effects begin to think about the feasibility.

"Then let the props team do a test first."

Director Guillermo del Toro spoke, and naturally David Robinson had no choice but to comply.

However, it was not easy to find a candidate, and in the end I found a very thin person.

"Make a mask that looks like a ghost on the outside, so that when you put it on the actor, you can move freely. After careful filling and color correction, the ghost made by this person will be more vivid than the one made on the computer, yes! That's right! vivid."

Regulus Black watched from the side, and he had to say that the props team and the special effects team moved very quickly. In less than half an hour, a seemingly simple ghost appeared, but the director was very Satisfied.

"Sure enough, it's a matter of vividness. If you pay attention to the movements during the performance and use special effects to adjust it later, you can save money and have realistic effects."

The director began to work enthusiastically, discussing with the special effects team how to make adjustments in the later stage and how to make special effects in line with the progress of the shooting.

Regulus Black watched them talk about professional issues and left the room first. When we came to the elevator, the member of the prop team who was originally responsible for repairing the elevator was the emaciated man. At this time, it is the best time to repair the elevator. You must know that the crew members will be arriving in a steady stream later, and it is not suitable to pull out the wand and wave it at that time.

"Repaired as good as new!"

Regulus Black adjusted his magic power. He only wanted to repair the main structure of the elevator to ensure that it was functioning normally, and then put the wand back.

As soon as I pressed the button, the elevator clicked! Click! The elevator slowly moved amidst the sound of the elevator, and the elevator bridge box slowly came to this floor.

It seems that it has been repaired and will be ready for use after the props team inspects it.

"I touched the elevator just now, and it actually works. The people in your props team are very capable."

Regulus Black returned to the dressing room. The west room on the second floor has been commandeered by the props team and turned into a props room and dressing room. Several people are surrounding the thin member!

Although he didn't know why the elevator suddenly worked better, he, who was responsible for checking the elevator, wore a ghost costume and gave a thumbs up to Regulus Black.

"Click!" Someone on the side who was responsible for taking stills took a photo in time, which can be used as stills in the future.

A ghost is making the V sign.

“I think you only need to expose the parts that need to be photographed, such as the skull or skeleton, and cover up the other parts with black gauze. The exposed parts of the actor himself are all blackened, and finally the special effects can be used to show it. A skeleton filled with black mist."

Regulus Black directly provided the details in this movie that he had seen in his previous life, which also allowed them to save a lot of testing.

After saying this, David Robinson and Connery White were obviously stunned! Then they immediately peeled off all the actors' external makeup. One began to adjust the material of the leather case and replaced many parts with black gauze. The other mixed a paint that looked like black oil and painted many parts of the actor. Painted all over.

Another half hour later, the actor once again put on the skeleton skin stood in front of everyone.

"It still feels like there's something wrong with it, fan! Bring a fan over here."

Immediately, someone from the props team brought a set of fans, and a breeze blew by, causing the black gauze on the skeleton to flutter.

There was a sound of breathing at the scene. Even though the light in the room was bright now, it looked like a ghost.

"Click! Click!" The sound of continuous taking pictures kept coming.

"This is the look. We need to make five different features of this look."

The director, who has been silent until now, sets the tone for Ghost at this point.

David Robinson immediately took out a Crimson Peak novel and said that he had read the contents.

"I will create different ghosts based on the different experiences of the deceased inside."

For a prop team making makeup special effects, this is not a problem, it just takes more experimentation.

In this way, the props team and special effects team started busy, while Regulus Black waited for the selected actor to be in place.

When the crew members arrived one after another, Regulus Black had already begun practicing his acting skills under the guidance of Guillermo del Toro. Since he had to complete the filming during the summer vacation, all scenes about Regulus Black would be Put it in front.

"Yes! That's the look in your eyes. It's a little embarrassing and awkward, but when you look at your lover, you should be full of yearning."

During the two days of directing, Guillermo del Toro discovered that Regulus Black is very suitable for acting. He is very sensitive in front of the camera, as if he is hypnotizing himself, and can listen to everything he says.

This is also recognized by other crew members. Actors in this category will become superstars in the future as long as they are lucky.

"Mr. Black, all three actors are here."

Lucy Piddle led the three actors and actresses to Scarlet Heights, followed by their agent.

"Welcome! I am the investor this time, Regulus Black. I am very happy that you have agreed to participate in this film. I believe it will be a pleasant cooperation."

Regulus Black came over with the two directors to welcome the three leading actors.

"This is director Guillermo del Toro. He just won 9 Mexican Academy Awards and the International Critics Week Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his new film "The Devil's Claw". He is a new director, Oh! No, it’s a new director.”

Regulus Black was so generous that he expressed his appreciation for the director to the three leading actors.

"Then you three can put forward any ideas or requirements you have, and I will definitely satisfy you as much as I can."

“Can I have my own RV?”

Robert Downey Jr. asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid this won't work, because our entire crew has to live in this villa, and as the male lead, you and I sleep in one room, and the two female leads sleep in another room. If you want to stay in a hotel in a small town , it takes 4 hours to hike one way.”

Regulus Black directly rejected the idea, and Robert Downey Jr. had not yet reached the heights he would later achieve, so the treatment of a private RV was not enough.

"So that means we two women need to live together?"

Jennifer Connelly, 22 years old, actually asked with a cute look. She didn't disagree, but it was obvious that there were no single-person housing, which made her a little disappointed.

"I'm very sorry! There are more men in the crew, so we can't provide more housing, and I believe this will make it easier for you two to practice your lines."

Regulus Black looked at Charlize Theron. At this time, she was only 17 years old and had no acting experience. If she had not just joined the Screen Actors Guild, he would not have known that she intended to develop into acting.

"I have no opinion!"
