March 26.

Since the casting of "Harry Potter" began on March 9, it has lasted for 18 days, and the main actors have basically been finalized.

Harry Potter: This role is played by Daniel;

Ron Weasley: played by Rupert Grint;

Hermione: played by Emma Watson;

The original Hogwarts triangle has not changed.

"I have to say that the last Warner selection was really powerful."

When Zucker started the casting of "Harry Potter", he considered whether the choice of the main actor would change.

However, when Zucker started the casting plan, after 8 rounds of selection, he found that Daniel, Emma, ​​and Rupert truly fit the roles of the Hogwarts Iron Triangle.

Think about it too.

In the history of the original time and space, Warner opened 10 rounds of selection in order to choose the role, and finally decided on the candidate.

Daniel's home.

"Do I have to sign the entire series?" Daniel's father hesitated.

"Can you sign a three-film contract first?" Daniel's mother echoed.

boom!

The agent slammed the table and roared, "I said what are you thinking?"

"Do you think Wald Pictures would choose Daniel to play Harry Potter without signing the entire franchise? Remember, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, but for Wald Pictures, they are always ready to play. Substitutions can be made to replace Daniel."

"Also, what is the first film with a lower salary?"

"As long as the Harry Potter movie is a success, that means Daniel will be famous all over the world!"

"At that time, when filming the second and third films, although there are contract restrictions, at that time we can completely propose to modify the contract, and we are not afraid that they will not compromise."

The agent said solemnly: "What are you thinking about now? If you hesitate any longer,

The production company will definitely change. "

Immediately, Daniel's parents were shocked.

In the face of production companies, they are always in a weak position.

at the same time.

Emma Watson's home.

"Sign a contract for the entire series?"

Unlike Daniel's parents' hesitation, Emma Watson's parents accepted everything in the contract without hesitation.

"Just kidding, a fool would refuse."

"A $500,000 salary is a low salary in a Hollywood A-level big production, but this is an opportunity."

"As long as we hold on to it, there will be 100 $500,000 in the future!"

Not only did Emma Watson's parents agree, but the other characters, their parents and agents, accepted the contract without hesitation.

Who would dare to let go of the chance to become famous in one fell swoop?

It really is a movie with a production cost of 130 million US dollars, which is Chinese cabbage!

......

Los Angeles, Wald Pictures.

"It's good to have signed a long-term contract. In this way, in the subsequent series of films, even if the young actors want to revise their contracts and increase their remuneration and dividends, we will take the lead and ensure that we are ourselves to the greatest extent possible. interests." Zucker smiled.

Think about the previous life.

On the eve of the filming of the eighth part of the "Harry Potter" movie, which is the last part of the series, the three protagonists, Daniel, Emma, ​​and Rupert, all opened their mouths, not only asking for a salary of up to 20 million US dollars, but also Huge box office dividends completely slaughtered the production company Warner Pictures as a fat pig.

Can you bear it?

If they really agreed to their request, then Warner invested 200 million US dollars, and all the money earned in the end was divided up by the young actors, leaving only a little bit of profit for Warner, so is there any sense in busy work? ?

"I will never give them a chance to speak loudly!"

"If there is such a day, I will definitely follow Warner's example and use special means to create losses on the books, so that you can't get a dime in dividends!"

Zucker thought bitterly.

"Boss, this is the latest box office report for "My Big Greek Wedding" that you want." Alexander handed over a report to Zucker.

"That must be seen." Zucker laughed.

"Not bad!"

As soon as he scanned the contents of the report, Zucker showed a smile.

$201 million!

"My Big Greek Wedding" was released for 44 days, and the North American box office totaled as high as 201 million US dollars.

"What about overseas?" Zucker asked again.

"Boss, overseas, our box office has also exceeded 100 million US dollars. If nothing else, the North American box office can increase by 40-60 million US dollars, and the overseas box office can also increase by 20-40 million US dollars. That is Say, "My Big Greek Wedding" is expected to hit $360-400 million at the global box office."

Alexander lamented: "I can't believe that a movie that cost $5 million to make can achieve such a high box office."

He was shocked.

In fact, the major film companies in Hollywood are also stunned.

The movie "My Big Greek Wedding" broke the box office record for a North American romantic comedy movie in one fell swoop.

With a production cost of $5 million, it is expected to gross nearly $400 million worldwide!

The income ratio is as high as 80 times!

Although this income ratio is not the highest in Hollywood, it can definitely drive many people crazy.

"In terms of box office alone, we can make about 150 million US dollars, plus online and offline DVD and video tape revenue, peripheral licensing, etc., our profit is at least 250 million US dollars." Alexander said excitedly.

$250 million!

Not to mention those small and medium-sized film companies in Hollywood, even the six major Hollywood films, except for those popular films, few single films can achieve such high profits.

Red eyes!

"Damn Wald Pictures, they're so lucky."

"I also watched the 'My Big Greek Wedding' stage play, why didn't I realize it could make it to the big screen? Damn, this opportunity should have been mine."

Many film company bosses are jealous.

"Humph!"

Time Warner Chairman Steve Ross snorted coldly: "Be proud, be proud of yourself. When I free up my hands, you will cry in the future."

The assistant on the side was suddenly silent.

Steve Ross wasn't going to let it go, he was determined to make Zucker look good.

However, so did Zucker.

Zucker is waiting for his time!

As we all know, in 2000, AOL will offer up to 181 billion US dollars in the form of cash + shares to fully acquire the equity of Time Warner. The two constitute the world's largest media group company, and it is undisputed that. A giant company.

But!

The merger of the old and new media giants was evaluated as the most failed merger at the beginning of the century by later generations!

America Online's main business is to provide dial-up Internet access services, but with the rise of Internet broadband services, it seems to be the rhythm of being eliminated by the times.

Coupled with the outbreak of the Internet bubble, it will undoubtedly cause huge losses to Time Warner!

"This is my chance!"

"Using this opportunity, I must cut a piece of meat from Warner, and let you know that I, Zucker Wald, are not easy to mess with."

Zucker swore to himself.

However, while Zucker was still waiting for the opportunity, Warner made a lot of small actions in a targeted manner.

Mainly for Wald Pictures' upcoming 300 Red Pants, oh, it's Spartan 300!
