Ron Weasley's career as a chess player was already on the right track. After a round of matches in the second club, the winning record not only meant that Regulus Black had won a huge amount of money in gambling. , also meant that the name Ron Weasley was remembered by the upper class circles. After that, Regulus Black no longer continued to follow Ron Weasley, but let his exclusive agent be responsible for the entire process.
Regulus Black himself has also become busy. The Scarlet Heights movie has entered a state of preparation. As an investor, it is time to raise the issue of actor selection, huh! Generally speaking, it’s time to unspoken rules for actresses.
"The new director Guillermo del Toro is a Mexican. In 1992, this year's film, "The Devil's Claw" won 9 Mexican Academy Awards and won the International Critics Week Award at the Cannes Film Festival. "
Lucy Piddle is explaining Regulus Black. After all, her lover and boss has handed this matter over to her for a while. The preparation of the movie is not that easy. She is completely here. She is an outsider. If she wants to step into this circle, she will inevitably be deceived and hostile. However, Regulus Black's requirements for her are very simple. Just don't make mistakes and don't be deceived. The other thing is to make a good picture. There's nothing wrong with a movie that's losing money.
Such a request made Lucy Piddle face her job extremely seriously.
Of course, the rewards were also huge. In addition to monetary rewards, Regulus Black also gave him magical abilities, although they were restricted professional skills. But for a pure-blood squib born in a magical family, this is a rare gift. She first passed the career transformation of the [Red Nightmare Witch Monastery] and became a nightmare girl of the nightmare demon tribe, and then chose the career direction of a deceitful warlock. That is the Necromancer's Bone and Poison skill system.
"I know this film director, he seems to be a fat man, but since he was able to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival, he should be able to handle this film with a heavy emphasis on literary and artistic films."
Regulus Black tapped his palms gently. Originally, this movie was in another world. It was only filmed in 2015, but now it is 1992. Many of the actors in the original movie still don’t know where they are. Woolen cloth! As far as the male protagonist is concerned, the future Loki is only one year older than Harry Potter based on his birth date.
Therefore, all the actors must reconsider, otherwise the film will be delayed for another 20 years.
"I need to meet with the director. It's in Scarlet Mountain Villa. The other actors ask him to recommend suitable people first, or let the agency recommend actors. It doesn't have to be big names. Second- and third-tier actors or even lower ones are fine."
Regulus Black is the big boss and an investor, so his words can be regarded as orders and executed, no matter how unreasonable.
The next day, because the director happened to be in Europe, he rushed to the UK immediately after receiving the news that a wealthy noble wanted to invest in a movie. After sitting in the car for several hours, he came Arrive at Scarlet Villa.
"Welcome! Director Guillermo del Toro, I'm Regulus Black, nice to meet you."
Regulus Black hosted a banquet for the director at Crimson Heights, accompanied by Lucy Piddle.
"Mr. Toro! What do you think of this mountain house?"
Regulus Black asked as he cut into lamb chops.
"This villa has a long history, and the house itself is very old. It has an obvious Gothic style and exquisite workmanship."
Guillermo del Toro, who was also eating lamb chops, stopped when he heard this and rubbed his beard on his chin to express his feelings.
"Actually, this is a dilapidated house. Although I like everything about it, it is about to become a dilapidated house. The maintenance cost can be used to build another similar one, so I plan to recycle it, and I happen to have one on hand. Suitable for book rights, I wanted to make one final use of the house before tearing it down."
Regulus Black shook the red wine glass, creating whirlpools. Guillermo Del Toro's eyes were full of approval. An indescribable atmosphere was spreading. Lucy Piddle couldn't help but look at it. Glancing at Regulus Black, this was obviously not normal, but she didn't want to ask what her boss was going to do, at least he hadn't taken out his wand yet, right
"You are absolutely right! Before the old house is demolished, if a movie can be shot here, it will be its last glory."
Guillermo del Toro’s title changed from “you” to “you”. Apparently he has a good attitude toward Regulus Black.
"I have already written the script of Scarlet Peak. You can help me take a look first and see if there is anything else that needs to be modified."
Regulus Black handed over a complete script to the other party, and Guillermo del Toro immediately began to read it in a professional spirit. Although he was controlled by Regulus Black with magic, it did not mean that He will lose his instincts.
After briefly flipping through it, Guillermo del Toro closed his eyes and thought for a while.
"Mr. Black, I have read the book Scarlet Peak on the way here. Some details in your script are different from those in the book. However, from my experience, these changes will not destroy the original work, but will change it from the original work." The movie would be more exciting if it was considered that way.”
Regulus Black is very happy with the current situation. His slightly changed script can be approved by the director. This is a good start. The rest depends on the director's artistic skills.
"Mr. Black, these are the actors' information that I have collected. You can take a look at them first. If there are suitable ones, I will notify them to audition."
Guillermo del Toro took out a thick stack of information from the big bag he carried with him, which was all about the actors.
Due to Regulus Black's request, this does not include first-tier actors, but includes those from second-tier and third-tier actors to fourth-tier and fifth-tier actors.
Regulus Black slowly flipped through the information. Many of them were people he didn't know. Presumably, Regulus was not a popular star in his previous life. Moreover, at this time in 1992, there were many The future big names are all still young, and they are still involved in art films, dramas and even the modeling and advertising industry.
Guillermo del Toro was not idle either. After finishing one lamb chop, he started to eat the second lamb chop.
Regulus Black finally found a few familiar candidates in this pile of information.
Robert Downey Jr., born on April 4, 1965 in New York City, New York, USA, is an American film actor. In 1971, at the age of 5, he starred in the movie "Dogs". In 1987, the 22-year-old Robert Downey Jr. starred in the comedy "The Pickup Expert", which was his first movie.
At this time, Robert Downey Jr. was still a rookie actor, but he had always had a drug problem. He had not been arrested for drugs this year, and naturally he was not determined to quit drugs because drug abuse almost ruined his career.
In short, he is in a period where anything is possible, if his drug addiction can be eliminated...
Regulus Black was already thinking up a whole process for detoxification.
I continued to browse the information, and after a while I found a familiar future star.
