Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Dennis walked forward alone, covered in dust, wand in hand.

Xia Yuan picked up the walkie-talkie in front of the director's monitor and said, "Ginny, Tom Riddle, actors, please take your positions."

"The actors are in position."

The two actors received the instruction, responded, and took their positions.

Daniel followed the route and arrived at the 'manhole cover'.

It's the entrance to that secret room, the well cover with six snakes.

He opened his mouth and uttered in Parsleyan language: "Hesha-Hassah"

The next moment, the snakes on the manhole cover moved.

After all, the second film uses a lot of real sets to ensure maximum realism.

A seventh snake also appeared, sliding in a circle along the manhole cover.

The next second, the huge manhole cover, covered in rust, slowly opened, revealing the passage inside.

The dusty passageway, covered with stalactites and grime from the washroom, seemed to tell a story of a long-forgotten, decaying past, exuding the same air of decay, as if it were trying to be conveyed through a screen.

Dennis went inside with his wand in hand, and then climbed down the stairs.

Although the set was full of cameras and lighting equipment, there were also many staff members gathered outside in places where the cameras couldn't reach.

However, the actor still had to portray a feeling of fear mixed with caution.

The camera followed Dennis as he climbed down, and after he landed and turned around to look around, the camera switched again to capture the entire scene.

The enormous passageway was completely empty, with grotesque snake heads on both sides, and at the end was a sculpture of Salazar Slytherin's own head.

Beneath the snake-head sculptures on both sides of the passageway lies stagnant, greenish water.

Just like the set design of this secret room, it exudes an unsettling, eerie green hue.

Dennis cautiously walked forward, and finally, Ginny, lying on the damp ground at the end, appeared in the frame.

Dennis ran quickly toward Ginny, even dropping his wand and possessing her.

"Ginny! Please don't die, wake up! Wake up! Please wake up!"

On the director's seat, Xia Yuan, holding a walkie-talkie, gave the order: "Tom Riddle, it's time to enter."

The actor playing Tom Riddle, who was standing outside the camera position, slowly walked out from the depths after receiving instructions, his figure seemingly emerging from the shadows.

"She won't wake up."

The actor said.

Dennis turned his head in disbelief to look at Tom Riddle, who was walking towards him step by step.

"Tom? Tom Riddle? What do you mean by saying she won't wake up? She won't, she's still alive."

“But he only has one breath left,” Tom Riddle replied.

"Are you a ghost?" Dennis asked.

"It's a memory, a memory preserved in my diary for 50 years."

Riddle replied.

Dennis then touched Ginny's hand: "Her body is as cold as ice. Ginny, please don't die, wake up."

At that moment, Tom Riddle bent down, picked up Dennis's wand from the ground, and held it in his hand.

At this moment, Dennis, representing Harry, hadn't realized that Riddle was actually evil; he was actually Voldemort in his youth, and that the diary was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, the key to his resurrection.

He was still pleading with Riddle: "You have to help me, Tom, there's a basilisk here."

“He won’t come unless you summon him,” Tom said. At that moment, Dennis looked up, and Harry noticed that his wand was in Tom’s hand.

He immediately sensed something was wrong and stood up. "Give me back my wand, Tom."

“You don’t need it anymore,” Tom replied casually.

"Listen, we have to go, we must save her!"

“I’m afraid that won’t work, Harry, because the weaker Ginny is, the stronger I become.”

Dennis looked puzzled, but also a little uneasy, as if he had sensed something.

“That’s right, Harry, it was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets.”

"No, impossible, she wouldn't do that."

"It was Ginny who sent the Basilisk to attack those Mudbloods and Filch's cats! It was Ginny who wrote those threatening words on the wall!"

"why?"

"Because I was the one who told her to do it, and I'm good at persuading others, she didn't know what she was doing. Of course, you could also say she was hypnotized."

However, the power of the diary began to frighten her, so she threw it in the girls' restroom. Who would have thought that you would be the one who found it, Harry?

And you are precisely the person I most want to see!

Why do you want to see me?

The two were at loggerheads.

"Because I need to talk to you, and it would be best if we could meet, I decided to let you see me capture Hagrid's memories to gain your trust."

"Hagrid is my friend! You framed him, didn't you?"

“My words are more credible than his; only Dumbledore believes him to be innocent.”

"Dumbledore must have seen right through you."

“After that, he did keep a close watch on me. It would be very unsafe for me to open the secret room while I was at school, so I decided to leave a diary and keep my 16-year-old self in it, so that one day I could guide another person to complete Salazars Slytherin’s noble cause.”

“But it’s clear that you didn’t succeed this time. In a few hours, the Mandela Herbal Potion will be ready, and those who have been petrified will be restored.”

"Didn't I say? Killing Mudbloods is no longer important to me. For the past few months, my new target has been you, an infant without any extraordinary magic. How did you defeat the greatest wizard of all time? How did you emerge unscathed with only a scar, a laughable scar, while the great Voldemort's power was destroyed?"

"Why do you care how I survived? Voldemort didn't exist in your time."

"Voldemort is my past, present, and future."

After saying this, the actor turned around and began waving his wand in the air.

His identity began to be revealed.

"It's you? You're the heir to Slytherin! You're Voldemort!"

"Of course, do you think I would keep my filthy Muggle father's surname? No, I've come up with a new name for myself, and I know that when I become the greatest wizard in the world, all wizards will be afraid to utter this name!"

The two actors' confrontational scenes.

Xia Yuan, watching from the side, nodded in satisfaction.

Judging from the current situation, Dennis did not show any stage fright when facing experienced and mature actors.

He withstood the aura of a seasoned actor and was able to keep up with the scene, going back and forth with his co-star.

This demonstrates Dennis's growth during this period from many perspectives.

This was all a result of his training, which greatly satisfied Xia Yuan. (End of Chapter)
