"Mr. Wald, Mr. McNick, it's a pleasure to see you two again."

As soon as he stepped into the hotel room, Chris Columbus greeted the Zuckers very warmly.

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

Zucker shook hands with him.

"Chris, you're finally here. If you're a few days later, I'll bring you from the house myself." Old Bill laughed.

Zu Ke smiled and said, "Director Columbus, you put your work aside today. I heard that you like drinking very much. I will give my life to accompany you today."

"Any wine?"

In an instant, Columbus's eyes lit up.

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

"Chris, you are the first person who can let our boss bring out a good wine to serve. Even Amazon President Bezos came to the door, our boss was not so enthusiastic."

Old Bill on the side said suddenly.

Suddenly, Zucker gave Old Bill a roll of eyes.

What do you mean?

Are you saying we are stingy? !

For the arrival of Chris Columbus, Zucker and old Bill expressed a great welcome.

He's a filmmaker with the same surname as the discoverer of the American continent, with the same pioneering spirit as the Italian explorer; he's also a director who makes it his job to tell bedtime stories.

As the director of the "Home Alone" series of films, he showed his talents vividly and vividly.

The movie "Night at the Museum", for which he served as the producer, also achieved a very high box office.

As for the later "Pixel Wars", I won't mention it. It's a proper big bad movie, even if it doesn't make money, it's not flattering, and it's also on the golden plum.

However, the flaws do not hide the beauty!

Looking at the whole of Hollywood,

During the 90's, he Chris Columbus was the best director of adventure stories for children and teens, bar none!

Of course, his salary is also very high.

Director's salary, up to 9.8 million US dollars.

Moreover, this is only the director's remuneration for the first film in the "Harry Potter" series, and at the same time, invitations for multiple film appointments are not accepted!

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

Two words, add money~

He is one of the best directors of teen genre films today, and he has the qualifications and confidence to talk to the production company on an equal footing!

In a few days...

March 9.

Casting for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has officially started~

The number of applicants in the age group of 8 to 12 years old is as high as 8,723.

There will be three 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 of primary selection!

With a total production cost of $130 million, the casting of Harry Potter cannot be sloppy.

Once upon a time, Zucker planned to directly follow the actors in the original time and space, completely copying them, which could save a lot of casting time and money. However, after thinking about it, Zucker rejected the idea.

"Isn't it just a publicity for the hot casting work!"

"Furthermore, this will also play a significant role in enhancing the influence of Wald Pictures as a famous brand overseas."

"Hollywood is a commercialized film center, and if you don't have a lot of publicity work, even if you make a good, good film, it may fail at the box office."

London Division.

The number of young actors in this competition area accounts for 35% of the total number of people, and 3,050 people will conduct the first round of primary elections here.

The primary selection work naturally does not require Zucker, Old Bill, director Columbus, and author Ms. Rowling to sit in the office. The specific work is handled by the staff of Wald Pictures and ITV.

"Can I be chosen?"

"Even if I'm chosen, can I play the Hogwarts Triangle?"

These two problems continue to plague the young actors who are running for 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 up to 130 million US dollars is undoubtedly an opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop!

[Lucky, who is the flower? 】

This topic is now constantly hyped by the media and newspapers all over the UK, attracting a large number of people's attention.

1 day!

2 days!

3 days!

......

The first three rounds of primary elections took a full 9 days!

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

The brutal elimination rate has made the casting work of "Harry Potter" more and more concerned.

In addition, during the casting period, the book sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" also increased a lot. At present, the cumulative sales of books in the UK have risen from 980,000 copies to 1.5 million copies, directly surpassing sales in the United States.

"It's a good thing in one fell swoop, so beautiful~"

Zu Ke, who was in a good mood, wandered to the casting scene on this day.

4th round selection

"Mr. Wald!"

"boss!"

The staff at the scene stood up to say hello after seeing Zhu Ke coming.

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

Still want to mix it up!

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

Everyone hurriedly nodded and said yes.

Who believes this?

"Boss, you are here in person, all our employees are absolutely thrilled. Please rest assured that we will do a good job." A Wald Pictures employee shouted.

The big boss will appear in person, can't he still have the final decision?

Just kidding!

"what?"

"Emma Watson?"

Zucker saw the name Emma Watson in the list.

In 1999, no one knew this name, and it could be said that it was unknown. However... After the release of the future "Harry Potter" movie, who does not know Hermione, one of the Hogwarts Iron Triangle?

Emma Watson is an actress who grew up beautiful.

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

But!

She is also famous for the number of boyfriends she has been with and the chaos in her private life.

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

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

Soon.

Emma Watson was taken to the casting scene by the crew.

A performance can be described as "excellent". Of course, this is not to say how good her acting is, 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 first part to the eighth part, the acting skills of the three protagonists have hardly improved! Even with the increase of age, there is a regression, which makes many people feel embarrassed.

"Why do you think I must choose you to play the role of Hermione?" Zucker said.

The so-called bystanders before, at this moment, are simply farts.

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

Yes, no one dares to say!

"Uh...I think I can, I'm so cute." Emma said stunned.

"not enough!"

Zhu Ke 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."

This flattering Zucker was caught off guard.

"Congratulations, you have entered the next round." Zuke smiled.

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

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

Sure enough, no one who can make a breakthrough in Hollywood is a fuel-efficient lamp.

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

Well, I've seen it since I was a kid.
