"Mr. ward, Mr. mcnichol, nice to see you again."
As soon as he stepped into the hotel room, Chris Columbus warmly welcomed them.
"Nice to see you again, too, director Columbus."
Zucker shook hands with him.
"Chris, here you are at last. If you're a few days late, I'll get you out of the house myself. " Old Bill burst out laughing.
Zhuke said with a smile: "director Columbus, you put your work aside today. I heard that you like drinking very much. Today I will accompany you with my life."
"Good wine?"
In an instant, Columbus's eyes lit up.
Throughout Hollywood, he is one of the directors who love drinking most.
"Chris, you are the first person who can ask our boss to bring out good wine for us. Even Amazon president Bezos is not so enthusiastic."
One side of the old Bill suddenly said.
Suddenly, Zhuke gave old bill a white eye.
What do you mean by that?
Say we are stingy?!
For the arrival of Chris Columbus, Zucker 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 who takes telling bedtime stories as his own responsibility.
He was the director of the "kid at home" series, and showed his talent incisively and vividly.
He was the producer of the film "wonderful night in the museum", which also made a considerable box office.
As for the later "pixel war", it is not mentioned that the big rotten film, which is neither profitable nor flattering, is also on the golden sour plum.
However, flaws do not hide the good!
In the 1990s, Chris Columbus was one of the best directors who told children's and teenagers' adventure stories!
Of course, his pay is also very high.
Director's pay, up to $9.8 million.
Moreover, this is only the director's remuneration for the first Harry Potter movie series. At the same time, we don't accept the invitation of multiple movie appointments!
In other words, if you want to find Chris Columbus as the director of Harry Potter 2, you have to sign a new contract.
Two words, more money~
He is one of the best directors of teen-ager movies today. He has the qualification and confidence to have an equal dialogue with the production company!
In a few days
March 9.
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone" casting work, officially opened~
The number of candidates aged 8-12 years is as high as 8723.
There will be 3 rounds of primary elections in four major British cities, including London, Manchester, Bermingham and Edinburgh.
Yes, it's the primary!
And in the primary, there are three rounds!
The total production cost of Harry Potter is as high as 130 million US dollars, and its casting work should not be careless.
Once upon a time, Zhuke intended to copy the actors directly from the original time and space, which could save a lot of casting time and money. However, when he thought about it, he rejected the idea.
"It's also a publicity campaign to make a successful casting choice."
"What's more, it also plays a significant role in enhancing the brand influence of Wald pictures overseas."
"Hollywood is a commercial film center. If you don't have a lot of publicity work, even if you make a good film, you may lose at the box office."
London.
The number of young actors in this competition area, accounting for 35% of the total number, has 3050 people who will hold the first round primary here.
In the primary election, there is no need for Zhuke, Bill senior, director Columbus and author Ms. Rowling to be in charge. The specific work is in the charge of the staff of Wald pictures and ITV.
"Can I be chosen?"
"Even if elected, can I play the role of Hogwarts triangle?"
These two problems continue to perplex the young actors. Of course, their parents and agents are worried.
To participate in the total production cost of 130 million dollars of "Harry Potter" film, is undoubtedly a chance to become famous!
[lucky guy, whose family did the flowers go to
This topic has been constantly hyped by the British media and newspapers, and has attracted a large number of people's attention.
One day!
Two days!
Three days!
.......
The first three rounds of the primary, spent a full nine days!
In the process, more than 95% of the young actors have been eliminated, and the remaining number is less than 400.
Cruel elimination rate, let "Harry Potter" casting work, more and more attention.
In addition, during the casting period, the book sales of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone also rose a lot. At present, the cumulative sales of books in the UK have risen from 980000 to 1.5 million, directly exceeding the sales in the United States.
"It's a good thing to count with one stone. It's beautiful."
In a good mood, Zhuke wandered to the casting scene on this day.
Round 4 selection~~
"Mr. Wald!"
âbossï¼â
After seeing the arrival of Zhuke, the staff at the scene stood up one after another to greet him.
Big boss is coming, can you not be enthusiastic?
Do you want to mix!
"You are busy. I won't take part in the work today. It's still up to you to decide." Jock waved.
The crowd quickly nodded yes.
Who believes that?
"Boss, you come here in person. All our staff are absolutely excited. Please rest assured that we will do a good job. " Yelled one Wald employee.
Can't the big boss make the final decision when he comes on the stage?
What a joke!
"Why?"
"Emma Watson?"
Zucker saw the name Emma Watson on the list.
In 1999, no one knew the name, it can be said that the native place is unknown. However... After the release of the future Harry Potter movie, who doesn't know who doesn't know Hermione, one of the iron triangle of Hogwarts?
Emma Watson is an actress from small to big.
With the role of "Hermione", she has a high reputation in the world and is regarded as "goddess" by many people.
But!
She is also famous for her numerous boyfriends and chaotic private life.
"The goddess in your eyes, the bus in some people's eyes."
This sentence is appropriate to describe Emma Watson.
Not long.
Emma Watson was brought into the casting by the staff.
A performance can be described as "excellent". Of course, this is not to say how good her acting is, but that she is very suitable for the role of "Hermione".
After all, people who have seen the whole series of Harry Potter know that from the first to the eighth, the acting skills of the three protagonists have hardly made any progress! Even with the growth of age, there is a decline, so many people feel embarrassed.
"Why do you think I have to choose you for Hermione?" Jack spoke.
Before the so-called bystander, at this moment is fart.
As for the current cast directors, do you have any opinions?
Yes, no one dares to say!
"Er... I think I can. I'm so cute." Emma was stunned and said.
"Not enough!"
Zhuke shook his head and said, "you can't convince me with 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 a fan of Manchester City. We are all fans."
This sucking up Junker was caught off guard.
"Congratulations, you're in the next round." Chuckles.
"Thank you, Mr. ward." Little Emma bowed.
It has to be said that, regardless of her acting skills and personal life, she is a little smart indeed. Not every little actor in the competition can flatter.
Sure enough, none of the people who can make a breakthrough in Hollywood is a fuel-efficient lamp.
What's more, Emma Watson's future private life is so chaotic, and she can maintain a good reputation, which reflects her shrewdness and the excellent team behind her.
Well, I've seen it since I was a child.
"The third watch" is here.
