Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 547: Secret

In fact, auctioning the props used in filming is very normal in Hollywood.

——Like the famous "Heart of the Sea" in Charlotte's original world, that's it.

——Of course, in the current world, the Heart of the Sea is the existence of Charlotte who casts the spell, it belongs to him, and naturally it will not be sold.

In general, it is not surprising to sell the props used when shooting a movie.

However, although this method can also recover part of the shooting costs, more often, it can only be the icing on the cake, rather than giving away charcoal.

After all, only well-known movies and auction props are people willing to collect.

However, generally speaking, such films are often enough to recover the cost of shooting by normal means.

The props do not need to be auctioned at all. Some of the more commemorative items will be left as souvenirs to the creative members. Others will be directly collected in the warehouse and reserved for future movies.

Or simply conduct a so-called charity sale.

And for those unknown movies that need to sell props to recover the cost, collectors are often not interested in collecting the props in their movies.

This forms a paradox.

However, Charlotte has no problems in this regard because of the success of his films.

The props he used in filming can indeed be sold for a lot of money——

For example, one of the biggest props he sold was the "Hogwarts" castle used in the filming of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

——When shooting a movie, it really cost Charlotte a lot of money to buy a castle and transform it into a studio.

But when it reached a cooperation agreement with Warner Pictures, the castle immediately became a good asset.

——During the valuation of cooperative assets before the cooperation with Warner, the value of this castle has increased by more than four times...

In addition to the "super large props" such as the castle, there are not a few small props sold in other Charlotte movies.

Among other things, after the release of "Drop Head", the strange forensic props that Depp had used were bought by a rich female who likes to chase stars...

*********

Of course, Charlotte also knows that his situation cannot be copied by ordinary film crews.

Therefore, he told Charlize that this method is not so much to teach the other party how to recover the cost of the film, but to tell her one thing-

"I have bought this house that was decorated as "221B Baker Street"!"

"what!?"

—— "Baker Street 221B" arranged by the crew of "Detective Sherlock Holmes", of course, is not in the real Baker Street.

However, due to Charlotte's request, the crew did not directly build a simple set house for filming.

They rented an old-fashioned townhouse in a cheaper place in the suburbs of London to serve as "221B Baker Street".

——This kind of old-fashioned townhouse apartment is very similar in structure to the apartment Mrs. Hudson rented to Holmes and Watson in Conan Doyle's book.

Charlize knew about this, but she did not expect that Charlotte had actually bought this apartment.

"What do you buy this old-fashioned apartment for?"

Charlize asked curiously.

"Don't tell me you are really a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, you even want to cos him in the room!?"

"of course not!"

Charlotte shook her head.

"The main reason I bought this room was to set up the magic circle."

"Magic circle!?"

Charlize was taken aback, and then reacted.

"Are you planning to set up a circle against Jack the Ripper? I remember, you said that one of the purposes of filming "Detective Sherlock Holmes" was to deal with the magical Ripper! But that shouldn't be waiting until the premiere of the movie Do you want to do it again?"

"At this premiere, the other party might not be fooled!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly.

"Unlike other ghost opponents, Jack the Ripper is very good at escape. He caught the trap I set during the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". This time even the premiere of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" I set up a trap in the ceremony, I am afraid he will not be caught a second time."

"You're right!"

Charlize nodded.

She realized the difference between Jack the Ripper and the ghosts that Charlotte had dealt with in the past--

This guy may not be so powerful in strength, but he is very cunning.

In particular, he had escaped from the trap Charlotte prepared twice before.

Now, it is difficult for Charlotte to set a trap at the movie premiere and wait for it to be hooked like it did with the ghosts of the past.

——Then what are you going to do?

Charlize originally wanted to ask that.

But then, she thought about it. This is probably why Charlotte is setting up a circle in this "Baker Street 221B" now, and also wants to buy the house——

"You are setting up a magic circle here now, which means you have thought of a new way to deal with Jack?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"This is a very complicated plan, but if it succeeds, not only will it succeed in killing Jack the Ripper, but my abilities will also be greatly improved."

"so smart!?"

"Charlotte smiled.

"Actually, the real Baker Street 221B is more suitable for setting up the array than here-but after all, it is the Sherlock Holmes museum~lightnovelpub.net~ I can’t just buy it and decorate it freely. Besides, when the movie is released, I just want Let Francis Farmer use the ground veins to connect this place with the real 221B Baker Street, and it can still achieve the effect I want."

"When the movie premieres, connect the real Baker Street 221B through the ground vein!?"

Thinking of Charlotte’s magic theory, Charlize couldn’t help but doubt.

"You are not going to directly summon or say to create a ghost of Sherlock Holmes?"

"Well..."

Charlotte blinked at Charlize.

"Please forgive me for selling off the hook first-after all, if some tricks are broken, they may not work!"

"You guy has a terrible character!"

Saying that, Charlize's heart was stunned.

"Yes! There are some things that you can't say casually!"

I remembered that Charlotte once said that some ghosts or gods can see through people's memories.

Charlize realized that once Charlotte's plan was announced in advance, there was a real possibility of it leaking out.

——Even if Charlize didn't tell anyone else at all.

So, if you want to keep it secret, Charlotte might not be able to tell her all the plans.

However--

"Although I understand the truth, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."

Charlize thought depressedly, his mouth pursed involuntarily.

This made Charlotte feel a little funny, and he comforted the girl.

"Don't worry, I'll let you join in then. Now, you might as well think about what it would be like if we lived in this 19th century Victorian apartment in winter and we sat in front of the fireplace and studied together. ..."
