Harry Potter and the Necromancer

"Mr. Black, I'm afraid these three agents have no housing. You can let them live in a small town."

Director Guillermo del Toro had already secured three agents while Regulus Black was talking to the three actors. After all, it was a closed shooting here. If there were agents around all the time, sometimes can become an undesirable distraction.

"By the way, some of the scenes need to be shot in a small town, so let's let the agent and some of the prop team live there!"

Regulus Black had previously arranged with Lucy Piddle to use her law firm in Scarlet Town to supplement other scenes in the film.

For example, there are scenes where the heroine is at home, as well as the heroine's father's office, club and bathroom where he was killed.

Scarlet Heights cannot provide the scenes required for these scenes, but enough scenes can be found in the town for filming.

"This is the script for the three of you, as well as the agreement. Sign the agreement first!"

Lucy Piddle handed a performance agreement to the three people together with the script, and then in this hall, after the three people's agents looked at it, the three performance agreements were signed.

Robert Downey Jr. $1 million, Jennifer Connelly $1 million, Charlize Theron $600,000.

During this period, they were all just newcomers. Even Jennifer Connelly, who had guest-starred in TV series and filmed two movies, could only get the same salary as Robert Downey Jr. because she was a woman.

"This is a US$20 million production. Although we are in the UK, and although I, the investor, am British, it is easier for us to settle in US dollars directly. In fact, I am willing to give you more remuneration, but I The agent refused."

Regulus Black pointed at Lucy Piddle who was not far away. This behavior made the three of them laugh, which made the atmosphere between the four of them much more harmonious.

"Since we are going to be together for a while in the future, there is a place that we must visit. Please come with me."

Regulus Black led the way, and the three leading actors and their managers followed. Looking back, even the director followed.

After leaving the villa and going around to the back, after walking for more than ten minutes, a tomb half-deep in the ground appeared in front of me.

"Everyone, this is the cemetery of Thomas Sharpe and his sister Lucille Sharpe, the prototype of this movie."

Regulus Black opened the tomb, and it felt very clean inside.

"This tomb was built by the author of the novel, Edith Cushing, for her husband and his sister. She later sold the property and left this place sadly to return to the United States."

Regulus Black stood in the center of the tomb, pointing to the coffins on both sides and continuing to explain.

"I don't bring you here to scare the two ladies, but I hope you can understand that the characters in this story once existed for real, and their emotions and rationality determine the development and ending of their stories. Here we can also see that Edith Cushing was a very kind lady, and Thomas Sharp at that time probably had true love for her as mentioned in the book! Otherwise, this would not be the ending. She will just become another victim of this pair of siblings."

After saying this, Regulus Black took them back to the villa.

After everyone left, a ghost floated out of each of the two coffins. Thomas Sharp and his sister Lucille Sharp looked at each other. Thomas sighed deeply and returned to his coffin, and Lucille also stood silently for a while before disappearing.

"Does Mr. Black want to position this movie as a ghost movie?"

Robert Downey Jr. asked director Guillermo del Toro from behind.

"No! Mr. Downey, ghosts are just an element in this movie, and the main theme of this movie is emotion and gothic style."

Guillermo del Toro said with a smile that he personally likes dark movie styles very much, which is why he agreed without any hesitation after receiving the invitation.

Back at the villa, Regulus Black arranged bedrooms for the other three people. They were all on the south side of the second floor. The east side was given to the director and the special effects team. The west side was already the territory of the props team. They even occupied the north side. library.

"Mr. Black, we found these clothes while cleaning up."

David Robinson pointed to a few boxes. Inside were clothes from a hundred years ago, but they were well preserved. This was also due to the magic that the Black family set up here at that time. Although the house could not withstand the ravages of time, some of the items in the sealed boxes were. In good condition.

"I have said that these can be used as props. If you feel they are not suitable, you can make new ones according to their appearance, but they cannot be changed."

Regulus Black knew that maybe the props team was going to take action on these clothes, but that was not okay!

"Are these clothes from a hundred years ago? They are so beautiful."

The two actresses squeezed in with their eyes shining, and even director Guillermo del Toro squeezed in to watch.

Two members of the props team dragged over a clothes hanger, took out the clothes in the box one by one, and hung them up carefully.

"These are aristocratic costumes from a hundred years ago, the last glory of the Sharp family at that time."

Regulus Black introduced from behind, then picked out one item and handed it to Charlize Theron.

"The wedding dress worn by Ms. Edith Cushing at that time. It's in Gothic style. You can try it on."

Everyone present's eyes lit up and they were all looking forward to it. A woman from the props team brought Charlize Theron into the dressing room on the west side.

After a while, Charlize Theron, wearing a black Gothic style wedding dress, walked out slowly, and the results of her model training were clearly revealed.

"Lucy! Take out the set of jewelry I brought."

Regulus Black immediately shouted to Lucy Piddle, and soon a small box was delivered.

He took out the key, opened the box, and opened the drawers. Inside were all jewelry made of scarlet gemstones the size of peas.

Regulus Black first took out a necklace with five layers. The scarlet gemstones were woven into a large triangle. Although it covered a large area of ​​​​the chest, it added a luxurious temperament.

He took out another bracelet and put it on Charlize Theron's left hand. It was also inlaid with many scarlet gems. Regulus Black copied the design of later generations, and the whole bracelet converged into a snake shape, with each section There is a scarlet gem inlaid on the snake's body, especially the position of the snake's eyes.

The last thing he took out was a ring made of seven scarlet jewels made of paper in the shape of a flower. Regulus Black took the ring, took Charlize Theron's right hand, and put the ring on the other's ring finger. .

The director immediately waved to the photographer, and Regulus Black got out of the way. The sound of "click! click!" never stopped. He took more than 20 pictures in a row before the photographer stopped with unfinished content. .

Charlize Theron is worthy of being a model. During the photo shoot, she was very cooperative in posing various poses. Although they were all small movements, the effect was very good, fully demonstrating her own charm and the beauty of clothing and jewelry. .

"These are jewelry made of real gemstones. I will leave them to you for safekeeping for the time being!"

Regulus Black took out a small fancy key and placed it in Charlize Theron's hand.

Charlize Theron looked at Regulus Black with gleaming eyes, obviously guessing what the other person meant. After all, Charlize Theron has known these two things since she entered the entertainment industry, or in other words, since she entered the modeling industry. How dirty this circle is.

If she had indulged herself in the first place, her career would have taken off long ago. But she didn't. She just participated in various normal modeling jobs step by step and refused all temptations.

Is it now time to make a choice?

Charlize Theron knows that even if she has to sell herself, she should sell it for a good price. Is the man in front of her worth entrusting her with for a while? Yes, even if it’s just for a while.
