Chapter 132 How To
Chapter 132 How To
Lucius Malfoy sat back to his previous position with a disappointed look on his face, and was about to pick up the book and continue reading.
This old boy's behavior today is abnormal!Normally, the aristocratic temperament is more important than anything else, but it all seems very natural, but today some of the accents seem a bit artificial.
When I looked at the book in the other person's hand, it turned out to be a ghost novel "Sleepy Hollow". Obviously this meant something!
"I just informed you that I wanted to meet you, and you agreed. You can't happen to be in the living room by chance, right?"
Qin Ziyun glanced at the book "Sleepy Hollow" and raised his eyes to ask.
"Yes, I happened to be in the living room at that time. Look at the book in my hand. I just acquired its copyright recently."
Lucius Malfoy did not feel any embarrassment after his behavior was discovered. Instead, he started to get straight to the point and handed the book to Qin Ziyun.
"I heard that Qin, you invested in a movie before and used the Scarlet Villa you just took back."
Lucius Malfoy looked like I knew him well.
"It seems that you, Lucius, know a lot about the Muggle world! You can definitely invest in making movies yourself."
Qin Ziyun took over "Sleepy Hollow" and flipped through it. The content was basically the same as what he remembered.
However, Lucius Malfoy did this not just because he wanted to invest in the movie, but also to remind himself that he already knew about the existence of Sleepy Hollow. If it hadn't been for this purpose, Scarlet Heights would not have been mentioned.
Because "Scarlet Heights" was filmed using Scarlet Heights, then "Sleepy Hollow" naturally also needed to be filmed in Sleepy Hollow!
"I have enough funds, but you are one of us in the wizarding world, and I am more willing to cooperate with you."
Lucius Malfoy took a bottle of wine and poured a glass for both of them. It seemed that he had great expectations for this cooperation.
"If you are just going for profit, I can help you, but I can't guarantee anything. After all, any investment may fail."
Qin Ziyun said in a businesslike tone, and picked up the wine glass on the coffee table.
"Of course! Of course I am here for profit. You have won the industry in the past few years, and I have also lost a lot. Although those things were not mine in the first place, they are losses after all! So, investing in you has become mine. A new choice, and I believe you will not let your investment fail, so naturally mine will be protected."
Lucius Malfoy saw this cooperation very clearly. Although he reminded Qin Ziyun that he knew the secret of the other party, he did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, he came to him to replenish the lost properties. Investment is the reason, and it is recommended that both parties invest a share of the capital.
"I like the win-win result of cooperation. You and I each have half the funds. I will ask the lawyer to draft the contract as soon as possible. The lawyer will talk to you about some procedures later and she will teach you what to do."
Qin Ziyun didn't want to trick Lucius Malfoy, but he also wouldn't let the other party act recklessly. Only strictly limited cooperation could achieve results, and a loose alliance would only do bad things.
In this way, the film cooperation plan with the Malfoy family was confirmed.
Lucy Piddle received instructions from Qin Ziyun and registered a company for the Malfoy family. All procedures were the same as in the Muggle world. Unless wizards were required to take action, everything was done according to the rules.
Soon, a film production company called Malfoy was established. As a company with sufficient capital, the office was in a regular business building in London, and ten people had been hired to run the company.
"How about it? This is your film and television production company. Your private office is in the innermost position facing south."
Qin Ziyun brought Lucius Malfoy to the location of the new company.
"Fellow employees! Come meet your boss, Mr. Malfoy!"
Qin Ziyun waved everyone over. These ten people were ordinary-looking Muggles. Lucy Piddle next to them was the person in charge of recruiting. At this time, she was introducing their names and personal information to the two bosses.
Although Lucius Malfoy is a noble among wizards, he is not too unusual in contacting Muggles, especially his aristocratic appearance, which is very intimidating to these employees.
"I have to say, Qin! I am very satisfied. I am lucky to have a partner like you, thank you!" Lucius Malfoy first thanked Qin Ziyun!Then he used a little magic spell, which he learned from Qin Ziyun, a simplified version of the soul-destroying curse. "So! Mr. Manager, I won't be here often, but I want everything to be in order. Can I trust you?"
Lucius Malfoy used a few little spells to easily control all the employees in the office.
Inspired by their bosses, these employees devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work and strive to satisfy their bosses with their work.
As for Qin Ziyun's private property 'Sleepy Hollow', it will naturally not be used for filming movies. If you want to film it, you can just find a suitable place to recreate the style of Sleepy Hollow.
Moreover, 'Sleepy Hollow' has become Qin Ziyun's private domain, and the internal environment has changed drastically, making it unsuitable for filming the 'Sleepy Hollow' described in the book.
"Lucy! The director should find Guillermo del Toro! It was a pleasure to work with him last time. This is a very capable fat man."
Qin Ziyun and Lucius Malfoy sat in the new office, with a bottle of wine open on the coffee table in front of them.
"The Muggle world is very different from the wizarding world. For example, wine is a disaster when wizards make delicacies. Wine is also a processed food, so alcoholic products are still imported from the Muggle world. The Malfoy family has its own winery, Regulus and Miss Piddle should come and taste it too!"
Lucius Malfoy poured the wine into three wine glasses, then picked up his own and took a slow sip.
"In the years before World War I, the specific place of origin may be Italy, Mr. Qin! After drinking this glass, I will go to work."
Lucy Piddle told the origin of the wine in one breath, which surprised Lucius Malfoy.
After finishing the wine in sips, Lucy Piddle was about to get up and leave, preparing to finalize the matter of contacting the director.
Qin Ziyun could tell that his personal lawyer liked the wine very much, but he knew that his girlfriend was not an alcoholic.
"Lucius! If you don't mind sending a box of the same wine to Lucy!"
"Of course! There is no problem in sending a box. This wine is indeed from the vintage before World War I. The Malfoy family's winery is in Italy."
Lucius Malfoy was entirely motivated by the recognition of Lucy Piddle's wine tasting skills and the reputation of Regulus Black, so he readily agreed to the request to send wine. As for whether he would regret it afterward. , then it is unknown.
Qin Ziyun was not greedy for drinks. After finishing the glass of wine, he said goodbye and left. Although Lucius Malfoy was full of words, he still held them back thinking about his son turning into a daughter.
"BOSS! These are your letters, all addressed to Black Film and Television Company."
As soon as she went out, Lucy Piddle handed several letters into her hands.There is Sarah Maidani, this squib golden-eyed loli who expressed that she misses her very much. Due to communication problems, she sent a letter to the film and television company.
There is a letter from director Guillermo del Toro. The final special effects part of the film has been completed. Qin Ziyun does not need to do anything else. However, he still needs to appear for publicity. He will contact Lucy Piddle to arrange the specific date.
Robert Downey Jr. wrote a letter saying that after the filming was completed, he received a script for another movie, starring Chaplin, and his performance was very successful. However, when both "Crimson Peak" and "Chaplin" had to participate in various films Participating in the election made him feel like he was in a ring with himself, which was both painful and happy, followed by all kinds of showing off.
The letters from Jennifer Connelly and Charlize Theron basically mean the same thing: I miss him.
Jennifer Connelly said that after returning to the United States, her stupid agent actually found her a lot of scripts for her to choose from, ranging from Broadway stage plays to TV series and even two movies. can choose.
Although the agent has always said that these scripts are the result of his hard work, Jennifer Connelly found out after learning about them from the side that these scripts were sent to her for various strange reasons. On the hand, that is to say, all this is luck. Just as Qin Ziyun told them, wearing this set of jewelry from the Black family will bring good luck, and this will become the norm.
Charlize Theron thinks more deeply about these choices than Jennifer Connelly.
Similarly, Charlize Theron has also received many invitations, including modeling catwalks, magazine covers, entertainment shows, and of course, movie role audition invitations.In the letter, she said that it was precisely because of her performance in the movie Scarlet Heights that many people saw her acting ability. However, she thought that her acting ability was not good enough. Being able to perform so well in Scarlet Heights was totally in line with that time. It is related to the environment, and even related to Qin Ziyun, although it is somewhat unclear.
But later, I saw that Qin Ziyun mentioned that jewelry can bring good luck, and after she returned to the United States, everything seemed to go well and she had good luck. She felt that all of this, including her previous breakthrough in acting, was related to Qin Ziyun.
Charlize Theron said that she feels like she has found a great lover. She is currently filming a series of magazine covers and has been invited to write a horror film script. This is a low-cost zombie horror film called "Chicago." "Ghost Fighting 3", I think a movie that can be filmed as a sequel should have a guaranteed box office.
Qin Ziyun immediately wrote back and told Jennifer Connelly and Charlize Theron.
Nowadays, when you are lucky, there is no need to rush to make a choice, because every choice will have a cascading effect on the rest of your life. For example, if you choose to develop in movies, then the opportunities for stage plays and TV series will become very few. , similarly choosing any of the first two items, the other choices will be reduced in the future.
And one thing is very important, luck will decrease. Although this set of jewelry can bring more good luck, there is still a limit to the total amount of luck. Once it is consumed in advance, there will be no way to get luck later. of support.
There are also rights, wealth, and influence in the Muggle world waiting for him to acquire.
After thinking about it, there were no classes today, and it took half a day to sneak out to deal with the film and television company matters for Lucius Malfoy. Lucy Piddle was dealing with related issues, and it would take some time for the complete handover.
Therefore, Qin Ziyun decided to go to Jinyan Loli's place to pass the time.
Arriving at the home of Sarah Maidani, the golden-eyed lolita, the little girl is studying the magic books left by Qin Ziyun on her own.
Although she is a squib and cannot use magic, she was born in a wizarding family after all. Compared to ordinary Muggles, her physique is closer to magic. Unfortunately, her father did not fulfill his responsibility in the previous ten years.
"You're reading Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense by Quentin Trimble. Have you read all the standard spells?"
Qin Ziyun had given her many elementary magic books before. Although Sarah Maidani could only use the magic attached to the jewelry, she also needed to have the ability to identify the magic used by others.
"I have already read the standard spells 1 to 4. During the time when you were not here, apart from working, I have been studying."
As soon as Sarah Maidani saw Qin Ziyun arriving, she immediately dropped her book and rushed to him, hugging him tightly.
Qin Ziyun also hugged the little Loli enthusiastically, and then the two of them sat in the same seat together.
Sarah Maidani, still sitting in Qin Ziyun's arms, curled up like a kitten.
"Qin! Look, those are all notes written by me. By the standards of the wizarding world, each book is a 10-foot review."
Pointing to a stack of manuscript papers on the table on the other side, there seemed to be 40 pieces of manuscript paper.
"The manuscript is flying!" Sarah Maidani used the brooch's own magic spell of 'flying around' to summon the stack of manuscript paper into her hand.
It has a long handwritten review in fancy fonts. If compared with the students at Hogwarts, it would probably be more than half of them. Thinking of those naughty children who don’t make good use of their talents, Qin Ziyun couldn’t help but feel for Sarah... It is a pity that Maidani has a squib constitution.
Quietly, the two of them hugged each other like this. Qin Ziyun read it carefully and felt that it was indeed good.
Sarah Maidani curled up in Regulus Black's arms and looked up at the other person's face. He was looking at his homework so seriously. This was a kind of respect and recognition. He would not be like her father. In that way, you throw yourself away casually and don't care about the achievements you have made.
Sarah Maidani's heart melted. Although the relationship between the two at this time was more like that of teacher and student or father and daughter, in fact, it was a relationship of supporting lovers. The relationship between the two determined the status gap. However, it was very, very happy to see Qin Ziyun take himself so seriously.
"It's very well written, much better than the children of the same age in Hogwarts, and better than most people."
