Hollywood starts with animation

"Mr. Wald and Mr. McNick, it is a pleasure to see you again."

As soon as he stepped into the hotel room, Chris Columbus greeted the two of Zucker very enthusiastically.

"I am also very happy to see you again, Director Columbus."

Zhuke shook hands.

"Chris, you are finally here. If you are a few days later, I will definitely pull you from home myself." Old Bill laughed loudly.

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Director Columbus, you put your work aside today. I heard that you like drinking very much. Today I will die with you."

"Have good wine?"

In an instant, Columbus's eyes lit up.

Throughout Hollywood, he belongs to one of the directors who love to drink most.

"Chris, you can get our boss to bring out good wine to entertain you. You are the first person. Even Amazon President Bezos came to the door. Our boss is not so enthusiastic."

Old Bill on the side said suddenly.

Suddenly, Zhuke rolled his eyes at old Bill.

What do you mean?

Say we stingy?!

For the arrival of Chris Columbus, Zhuke and Old Bill expressed a great welcome.

He is a filmmaker with the same surname as the discoverer of the American continent, and has the same pioneering spirit as the Italian explorer; at the same time, he is also a director whose mission is to tell bedtime stories.

He served as the director of the "Home Alone" series of films, showing his talent to the fullest.

He acted as the producer of the movie "A Wonderful Night in the Museum", and it also got quite a high box office.

As for the later "Pixel Wars", I won't mention it. The properly bad movie is neither profitable nor pleased, and it is also on the golden plum.

However, the flaws are not concealed!

Looking at the entire Hollywood, during the 90s, Chris Columbus was the best director who told the adventure stories of children and teenagers, and there was no one!

Of course, his salary is also very high.

The director's salary is as high as 9.8 million US dollars.

Moreover, this is only the director's remuneration for the first film of the "Harry Potter" series. At the same time, invitations for multiple film contracts are not accepted!

In other words, if you make a "Harry Potter 2" movie and want to find Chris Columbus as the director, you must sign a new contract.

Two words, add money~

He is one of the best young film directors today. He has the qualifications and confidence to have equal dialogue with production companies!

A few days later...

March 9.

The casting of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has officially started~

The number of applicants for the 8-12 age group is as high as 8,723.

There will be three rounds of primary elections in four major British cities: London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh.

That's right, it's the primary election!

And there are 3 rounds in the primary election!

The casting of "Harry Potter" with a total production cost of 130 million US dollars should not be sloppy.

Once upon a time, Zhu Ke planned to directly follow the actors in the original time and space and copy them completely, which can save a lot of casting time and money.However, as soon as he thought about it, Zhuke rejected the idea.

"Isn't it also a publicity for the frantic casting work!"

"Furthermore, this will also play a significant role in enhancing the influence of Wald Pictures' overseas brands."

"Hollywood is a commercial film center. If you don't have a lot of publicity work, even if you make an excellent movie, you may lose the box office."

London Division.

The number of young actors in this competition area, accounting for 35% of the total number, 3050 people will be here for the first round of primary elections.

Naturally, the primary election work does not require Zhuke, Old Bill, director Columbus, and author Ms. Rowling to sit down. The specific work is done by staff from Wald Pictures and ITV Television.

"Can I be selected?"

"Even if I am selected, can I act as the Hogwarts Iron Triangle?"

These two issues continue to bother the young actors who are participating in the election. Of course, the parents and agents of the young actors are even more worried.

Participating in the "Harry Potter" movie with a total production cost of 130 million US dollars is undoubtedly an opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop!

[Lucky guy, who will get it?

This topic is now being hyped up by media newspapers all over the UK, attracting a lot of public attention.

1 day!

2 days!

3 days!

.......

It took 9 days for the first three rounds of primaries!

In this process, more than 95% of the young actors were eliminated, and the remaining number is less than 400.

The cruel elimination rate has made the casting of "Harry Potter" more and more attention.

In addition, during the casting period, the book sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" have also risen a lot. Currently, the cumulative sales of books in the UK have risen from the original 980,000 copies to 1.5 million copies, which is directly beyond The number of sales in the U.S. region.

"This is a good thing in one fell swoop, good news~"

Zhu Ke, in a good mood, wandered to the casting scene on this day.

The 4th round of selection~~

"Mr. Wald!"

"Boss!"

After seeing Zhu Ke's arrival, the staff at the scene stood up and greeted.

The big boss is here, can you not be enthusiastic?

Do you want to get mixed up?

"You are busy with you, I will not participate in the work today, the details are still up to you." Zhu Ke waved his hand.

Everyone nodded and said yes.

Who believes this?

"Boss, come here in person. All our employees are absolutely excited. Please rest assured that we will do our job well." A Wald Films employee shouted.

The big boss personally appears on the stage, can't he still have the final decision right?

What a joke!

"what?"

"Emma Watson?"

Zhuke saw the name Emma Watson in the list.

In 1999, the name was unknown, and it could be described as unknown.However... after the future "Harry Potter" movie is released, Hermione, one of the Hogwarts Triangles, who does not know who does not know?

Emma Watson can be regarded as an actress who grew up from beauty to age.

With her role as "Hermione", she has a high reputation worldwide and is regarded as a "goddess" by many people.

but!

She is also famous for the sheer number of boyfriends and the chaos of her private life.

"The goddess in your eyes, the bus in the eyes of some people."

This sentence to describe Emma Watson can be said to be appropriate.

Not long.

Emma Watson was brought into the casting scene by the staff.

A performance can be described as "excellent".Of course, this is not to say how good her acting skills are, but to say that she fits the role of "Hermione" very well.

After all, anyone who has watched the entire series of "Harry Potter" knows that from the 1st to the 8th, the acting skills of the three protagonists have hardly improved at all!Even with the increase of age, there are still regressions, which makes many people feel embarrassed.

"Why do you think I must choose you for the role of Hermione?" Zhuke said.

The so-called bystander before, at this moment is simply fart.

As for the current casting directors, do you have any comments?

Yes, no one dares to say!

"Uh...I think I can, I'm so cute." Emma said in a daze.

"not enough!"

Zhuke shook his head and said, "You can't convince me for this reason."

How much is cute worth?

Emma Watson: "I know you. You are Mr. Wald. You are one of the best screenwriters, directors and producers in the world. At the same time, I am also a fan of the Manchester City Club. We are all of us."

Zhu Ke, who was a flatterer, was caught off guard.

"Congratulations, you have entered the next round." Zhu Ke laughed.

"Thank you, Mr. Wald." Little Emma bowed.

I have to say that aside from acting and private life, she is indeed a little shrewd.Not every young actor in the competition can flatter.

Sure enough, none of the people who can make a difference in Hollywood are fuel-efficient lamps.

What's more, Emma Watson's future private life is so chaotic, and she can maintain a good reputation, which more and more reflects her shrewdness and the excellent team behind her.

Well, it can be seen since childhood.
