V has a "rat"

Chapter 39 Christmas Presents

Severus' talent was not in this area.But after working for Fowler for several years, if you don't even know about TV, it's ridiculous.

Now TV...color TV has entered thousands of households.Major TV stations have made their debuts one after another. As early as a few years ago, all kinds of TV dramas have already appeared on the stage.

Fowler held the scripts of several TV series left by Peter in his hand, weighed the pros and cons and still didn't shoot them.

One is that the production cycle of TV dramas is longer than that of movies, and the artists under his command are all just starting to rise, and now spending a lot of time on new careers is not worth the candle.Secondly, Peter is shining brightly in the film industry, so they should strike while the iron is hot.

These were things Severus knew too.

"TV series...is it appropriate now?"

"To be precise, filming is already underway. "Friends" is a light-hearted comedy, suitable for all ages."

"Aren't you going to participate?"

"How to participate? I still have to go to school." Peter's mysterious look made Severus very unhappy.It wasn't until Severus's eyes flashed fiercely that the mystery was revealed. "Okay, okay, I said... My task this winter vacation is to cooperate with the BBC to create a large-scale variety show."

"……what is that?"

"A platform, a platform where you can observe idol stars up close outside the screen, a show where you can watch the host play tricks, and a good opportunity for artists to promote their new works. It's a bit similar to that kind of talk show, but That kind of show is too serious. And it shows the glamorous side of the actors, and the occasional sensibility is also written by the script. What I want to show in this show is the human side of the artist. They will be deflated, dumbfounded, and Acting like a baby will break down and be nervous. In the laughter and entertainment, let everyone remember the star of the company."

That sounded good to Severus, wishing him success from the bottom of his heart.

"Aren't you going back for Christmas?"

"Mum said Christmas would be busy. I'd be better off at school..." The guy at school was called Liberty, and he had already mail-ordered quite a few potion ingredients.I plan to take advantage of Christmas when there are no classes and no one to practice my hands.

"Sev...can you tell me in advance what you got me for Christmas?"

"I made the potion myself."

"Isn't this going to be the only Christmas present I'm going to get?"

"It may also be the potion material that I picked by myself."

"I miss when you weren't at Hogwarts." Gifts back then were at least a little fancy. "Well... what do you think Slytherins like?"

"Expensive, shiny, useless." Severus felt instantly complete. "Fortunately I'm not popular in Slytherin. What are you asking?"

"I owe a small favor, and I have to pay it back."

After getting the so-called lucky crystal, Peter disguised it a little and started to check it.No way, Voldemort was really playing tricks on little girls.Let that crystal coax him to play.

Even if it is an ordinary gem, what comes out of Voldemort's hand should have a unique value.Check it out and return the gift.

It's hard to check in writing, but I can't hold back his popularity.The Ravenclaw sisters told him the answer easily.

Unexpectedly, it is really a precious item.Although it can't be regarded as a valuable item for Voldemort, after all, his family has a big business.But the value of this thing cannot be denied.

It's too hypocritical to go back.Then return the gift.

It's just that November is too busy, and there is a Quidditch match that needs him.

When December came, he began to comprehensively plan the variety show.So I waited until Christmas to return the gift together.

But... what gift to give is worth deliberating.First of all, the value of lucky crystals is immeasurable.After all, there are very few of them, and they are not even sold in the market.

Secondly, he didn't have the extra financial resources to give Voldemort an expensive gift right now.

Then the mind and the degree of use are very important.To combine the two... Peter had to think hard about it while he was busy.

Even when Peter got off the train and saluted, he didn't put it away, and under Fowler's arrangement, he didn't stop when he just went to shoot the commercial without stopping.

"Why are you so sad, now I want you to be lively and cute."

"Don't worry, how could I make such a low-level mistake."

"Yes yes yes, you can do it. Then you are thinking about the program? No problem, the TV station has already bought our project and agreed to your overlord clause. I have to say, insidious."

Peter wrote the outline, and then Fowler made the concrete plan, which was sold to the network.In addition to getting a due fee, it is also a reasonable contract to allow X-Space stars to appear on the show first, and to guarantee a certain degree of program exposure in the future.

What made Fowler praise Peter's insidiousness was that Peter added one in a daze.X-Space must also have the right to decide and choose the sponsors who insert advertisements in the program.

This clause is downright insidious.Not only let some sponsors face up to but also get a better understanding of X-Space.And after the show became popular, there was a flood of advertising orders and appointments. As one of the decision makers, X-Space naturally became a certain "back door" above board.

Such a request is even more unreasonable.But who made this plan happen to poke on the BBC's itchy meat.The dissatisfaction of viewers with the lack of TV programs has made them feel like walking on eggshells for the upcoming Christmas.

Such a complete plan, a plan that makes people's heart beat just by looking at it, how could it not make people back down again and again.In the end, the TV station had to play a side ball.

Let Fowler sign the contract in his own name, so that the choice of advertisers is in line with Fowler's purpose, and the TV station will not be too linked to an entertainment company.Although there is a posture of deceiving one's ears and stealing the bell, it is also a special treatment at a very moment.

In addition, this special case is only half a year.That is, after half a year, Fowler has no right to participate in the selection of advertisers.

"I've done a good job with the show. As for the insidious comments, I accept them with a smile." After speaking, he turned around and pointed eight teeth at Fowler. "By the way, what's the name of the show?"

"Happy Collision. That's a cheesy name, if you ask me. First recording, you're the guest. Aussie, Nino, Fincruz, and two more to come. Christmas is coming and everyone's busy. .” Their company embraced all the guests who were recorded for the first time.

"Well, Severus' parents are busy, and he has to stay in school. Here, I'm very busy, and my parents are alone."

"...Peter, doesn't your school teach English?" What an adjective.All alone guarding the empty boudoir came out.

"You have no sense of humor, Fowler. By the way, I'm not a guest, I'm the host."

"What! You didn't mention it in your plan."

"That's the same as discussing with the BBC now. This program is a springboard to distance us from other companies. I don't trust the current host. I will be the host and give them a demonstration... They can completely treat me as a host." It’s a gimmick to add color. For the first time on the show, the ghost prince who disappeared for a year reappeared. It’s very good, isn’t it? If you still hesitate over there, you can spare me half a day, and I will go there directly. As soon as possible, while they are still not very familiar with the style of the show."

When the director of the advertiser put on makeup and costumes saw Fowler and Peter coming, they all greeted them and suppressed what Fowler was about to say.

It wasn't until Peter changed his clothes and began to put on makeup that he had a chance to say the second half of the sentence.

"Are you still hosting?"

"I thought you wouldn't underestimate me after we've known each other for so many years." You said what you wanted to say without moving your lips, without affecting your makeup or continuing to tease Fowler.

"Okay, you won, and I will help you get in touch. But they will start recording in three days. Be prepared, guests and hosts are different."

"kindness."

After the chat, the two fell silent, which made the makeup artist who was eavesdropping slightly regretful.But soon he didn't regret it, Fowler immediately patted himself on the forehead after wandering around for a few laps and rushed over again.

"You have been involved in it all. What I asked before was why you were so sad."

"It is clear?"

"If you want, you won't let me see any of your expressions. You've been walking all the way with a sad face, and you're just waiting for me to ask. Stop talking nonsense and say it quickly, or I won't help you."

The makeup artist couldn't help it at this time, and expressed his willingness to help.

"I'm worried about Christmas gifts. A friend gave me a very expensive gift. Although it is insignificant to him, I can't accept it on my side. So it's best to think carefully about Christmas gifts."

"It's simple, famous watches, famous cars..." Then it occurred to me that most of Peter's money was still invested in the company's operations.But it was rare for Peter to ask for it, and it was not impossible to pay this little money.

"Will it be a bit vulgar?" The makeup artist's opinion, "I think limited edition brand accessories, bags and the like are better."

"This is good, limited edition... I have a way for this, Peter, is your friend a boy or a girl, and how old is it?"

"Male, over 20." Kindly discounted Voldemort's age. More than 40 is nothing in the wizarding world, but it seems to be too old for Muggles. "He's... I've met recently."

Biting the word "recently" to Fowler, Fowler understood instantly.

People in the wizarding world, then cars and watches cannot be given away.Limited edition jewelry, no matter how precious it is here in Muggles, it will have no value in the wizarding world.

The makeup artist here didn't understand why the boss suddenly got stuck.Continue to give advice to bystanders.For example, Peter is still young after all, and the other party is a rich man, so there is no need to fight for wealth.You should give something that can express your heart and blessings.

"Yes, yes, good intentions." Since Peter was distressed, it was obvious that he had thought about things in the magic world, and there was nothing suitable. "It's too troublesome to compare money with rich people. See what he needs recently? Just give him something. It's best to do it yourself. This is better."

"But...he has everything. That one is not just rich." He also has power.

"Send a greeting card?" Although it was said that the ceremony was light and affectionate, but it was too light and sincere, and the makeup artist turned to stare at the inconvenient Peter instead. "Okay, my fault, let's see what he needs recently. For example, if you don't have a girlfriend, you can send a dozen photos of beautiful women and contact numbers. If you are not in good health recently, send a fitness card or health care products. Physical That's too good to invite him to...uh..." Mistake again.They are from the wizarding world.

But Peter's eyes lit up when he heard it. "By the way, he's going to be a professor soon." Then he signaled the makeup artist to stop, and then began to write down a long list of things. "Fowler, can you get me these?"

"no problem."

"A powerful person became a professor?" The makeup artist was silently unable to understand.

Two days after the holiday, and four days until Christmas Eve.Voldemort had received an unexpected early Christmas present.Originally, when the elf brought a red, green and silver gift package with obvious Christmas colors in front of him, he was subconsciously dissatisfied.

But a champagne-colored envelope on top dispelled all his anger in an instant.

Peter ramblingly said that he has already started a fulfilling and busy star life, and it has been a year since he saw each other, and the enthusiasm of the fans remains the same.

Then formally thank Voldemort again for the precious gift he gave last time and return the gift.Sincerely, it is difficult for me to find something that Mr. Voldemort likes with my own financial and material resources.But I always hope to have a formal gift to express my heart.

Here comes the Muggles.Contains some stuff that might be of slight use to Voldemort, hope not to be offended by some of it.

He also mischievously used what Voldemort said in school last time to block Voldemort.

【I hate Muggles, not Muggles. 】

In the end, he said that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.I hope that all the things Mr. Voldemort sends in the future will not exceed five Galleons each.

And of course, Merry Christmas wishes.And a Muggle photo of Peter in an elk suit.

I don't know if Peter was too busy and forgot. The whole letter didn't contain any sweet words or ambiguous sentences.

However, when the presents were unwrapped, there was a rare hearty laughter in the manor.

"Teacher's Career Guide", "How to Manage Disobedient Students", "Matters Needing Attention in Children's Growth Education", "180 Rules of Conduct for Teachers", "How to Deal with Peer Relationships in the Workplace", "How to Deal with Your Boss" It is... a very necessary gift." An indescribable feeling spread in Voldemort's mind.These books gave Voldemort a novel experience.

Over the years, the books that everyone gave him are profound, unique, and precious.This is really the first time in these years that he is worried that he can't do one thing well and gives basic help books.

When I first stepped into the wizarding world, I had no one to give me detailed help. I didn't expect that someone would come to help me when I became a professor.This feeling is really subtle.

His eyes stayed on the book "How to Deal with a Boss Who Targets You".Immediately, he felt that his little guy was really sweet and sweet.

But... five Galleons.

"Go ahead, what gift is there in the manor that is worth five Galleons?" The elf who answered him hit the wall desperately.

On Christmas night, Peter didn't get home until ten o'clock.He was greeted with warm hugs from his parents and many gifts that had already begun to be delivered.

After the family enjoyed a belated Christmas dinner, Peter started unwrapping Christmas presents early in his room.The first thing to open was naturally a certain champagne-colored packaging.He was curious what gift Voldemort could give five Galleons.

"A piece of cake?" When it was opened, it was a cake that had cast a very appropriate spell.But this cake is fan-shaped, that is, cut from a large cake.And the variety is... "King Cake? No way..."

Decisively and rudely, he tore the cake apart.Sure enough, a tiny fingernail-sized tiara was found inside the cake.

"Hey...it seems a little...passed..."
