Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 416: Here comes the brit

Unfortunately, soon, with a statement made by J.K. Rowling, the original author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Jaina's desire to make soy sauce was also shattered.

"I support Charlotte Booth's adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" into a movie, but if possible, I hope that the main characters in it will be played by British actors as much as possible to show the original story. British sentiment."

"...Damn the British sentiment!"

Not only Jaina, but Rowling’s statement irritated the parents of many Hollywood child stars——

You know, with the exception of a few films such as "Home Alone", in most Hollywood movies, children are just inconspicuous supporting roles.

Now, finally, a big director wants to make a commercial blockbuster focused on children. The Hollywood child stars and their parents are all sharpening their swords and preparing to compete for the role. But the original author said this. Isn’t it a smashing job? ! ?

"I hope Charlotte Booth won't listen to that British single mother!"

For a while, everyone prayed like this.

However, people who are familiar with Hollywood entertainment rules also know that this is a problem—

This is not to say that J.K. Rowling, as the original author, has so much influence, what happens if the adaptation of the film does not listen to her opinions.

—— "Forrest Gump" changed the mess of the original work, and changed the good political satire into the inspirational chicken soup for the soul. The original author Winston Glum was so angry that the original author Winston Glum was reluctant to admit the adaptation of the film, and the result was not sweeping the Oscars. , And won the 1994 North American box office championship?

The original author’s opinion is not important.

However, this opinion is important when it can affect the box office or cost of the movie.

The words of J.K. Rowling can do exactly this.

The reason is very simple-

British actors are cheap!

Although it is a developed country like the United States, in Hollywood, British actors have always been known for their high quality and low price.

In fact, if it were not for the xenophobic characteristics of North American audiences, it would be difficult for most British actors to gain enough box office appeal in Hollywood——

Coupled with the performances of British actors, they generally have a heavier stage style, so they are not liked by the Oscars who admire the method ——

If not for these two factors, cheap British actors would have occupied Hollywood!

But even so, in Hollywood, the influence of the British gang is still not small.

From directors to actors, many are from the UK.

Especially in some golden supporting roles, because what is needed is acting skills rather than box office appeal, British actors with solid basic skills have a great advantage.

Not to mention that generation after generation, the English roses have emerged in endlessly.

It can be said that even directors in the United States often like to use cheap British actors.

——After all, it can save costs!

It's just that, in order to cater to the psychology of local audiences and Hollywood's ubiquitous interpersonal relationship, the main role must use native American actors.

But even so, in certain areas such as costume films, it is still the world of British actors.

——Because in the eyes of the audience, it seems more professional for classical British people to perform costume films.

After all, modern Americans seem to feel very different from the Americans in the "Declaration of Independence" era because of the continuous racial integration for more than two hundred years.

What's more, things like classical temperament have never been American temperament.

——The rough man and the girl next door are the favorites of the people in this hot land of North America.

As a result, in the field of costume films, even if they are shooting stories about the American Revolution, the British and Australians look more like modern Americans than modern Americans...

——This can't be said to be a kind of irony!

As for the film adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", since it tells the story of British magic, it is originally more suitable for British actors.

And now the original author J·K·Rowling has spoken again...

Those who understand the competitiveness of British actors in Hollywood immediately realized that Rowling’s words might give Charlotte Booth, who led the movie, an excuse.

After all, in addition to continuous success, Charlotte, as a director, is still a famous "quick shooter" and "a little money-saving expert".

——In this way, how can he not firmly grasp this kind of opportunity that can please the fans of the original and save the cost of actors without offending the local forces in North America?

really--

"I respect Ms. Rowling's opinion very much and will try to restore an authentic Hogwarts for everyone!"

Charlotte’s response sounded polite, but it suddenly shattered the hopes of those Hollywood child stars.

"In order to select the right actors, the crew will conduct a large-scale audition in London-we will select the most suitable Harry Potter!"

——The most suitable Harry Potter shit! You just want to take the opportunity to make a big news for publicity! ?

The parents of countless American child stars cursed Charlotte in their hearts.

It should be said that their guess is correct. Charlotte did accept Rowling’s opinion because of cost considerations~www.readwn.com~ Actually, at the beginning of Charlotte, she decided to shoot "Harry In Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Joanna Rowling talked to him about the use of British actors.

To be honest, Charlotte is very dismissive of the self-righteous arrogance of the British Empire that has sunk to the west, but he also knows that there are indeed many good people in this world——

From North America to East Asia, there are so many "elites" in the world who like the British aristocracy.

——Although Charlotte disagrees, it doesn't mean that he will have trouble with money.

——These people don’t make money for nothing, don’t they make money!

In addition, as Rowling said, using all British actors is indeed easier to express what she feels in her, and it can save costs, so why not do it?

In fact, Charlotte and Rowling had already reached a consensus.

The previous behavior was nothing more than a joint hype.

——After all, the American version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is also on sale.

With this hype, the film project that has just begun to prepare has immediately attracted countless eyeballs.

"Just follow the instructions step by step!"

After reviewing the follow-up preparation plan that Alexis and Old Gun put together for him, Charlotte nodded easily.

"The early casting work was done by the old gun. As for the construction of the studio, it is up to you, Alexis! Anyway, when we made the TV animation version, we have done a lot of data research, even Hogg Woz has done a lot of digital modeling-these are all done by the animation and special effects department led by you, haven't they?"

"All right!"

Miss Valkyrie shrugged.

So, not long after, large-scale casting and studio construction work began in the UK...
