Chatty Hollywood

However, it is never the responsibility of the reporter to understand the truth of the matter.

——Find or create news to attract readers’ attention.

Therefore, Polly, who was puzzling, still posted the news.

So, that day, the entire London knew the story of the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" crew "delivering letters with owls."

——Yes, Polly knew that this was not the case. Those owls were just decorations. But so what! ?

Such news readers love it! ! !

What's more, that weird crew will make such a show, in order to attract everyone's attention! ?

That being the case, Polly was just as good as they wanted.

- On the point of making news, their interests are actually the same.

Sure enough, as soon as this news came out, many readers who had been following the adaptation of the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" immediately exploded——

"Does Hogwarts really exist in this world?"

——A young female reporter even asked this question at the press conference of the crew.

In this regard, director Charlotte Booth’s answer is very humorous.

"I don't know this. But you can go to platform 9 and quarter to try-but if you get hurt, I won't be responsible."

"..."

Obviously, even if someone really believed in the existence of magic and tried it at Platform 9 and Quarter, it would not be the reporter present...

*********

"That's it!"

After returning from the press conference, Charlotte couldn't help sighing tiredly.

This made Alexis on one side a little puzzled.

"If you are really tired, don't deliberately make this kind of news come out! With your current reputation, making a movie doesn't actually have a big impact without these methods, right?"

"It's really not that big."

Charlotte nodded.

"However, if the pre-promotional effect in the early stage is excellent, it can save more cost than the large-scale promotion in the later stage. Moreover, I did this not just for the promotion of the film."

"Is there any purpose related to magic?"

Alexis was a little surprised.

"Yes."

Charlotte smiled.

"The more I deliberately blur the boundary between reality and illusion in this way, the more people will become curious about Hogwarts."

"Although intellectually, they will not believe it, but in the subconscious, the image of Hogwarts will become clearer and clearer."

"Does this make the movie more magical?"

Alexis asked.

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded.

"Because of the characteristics of the original fairy tale of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", there is no way to add too many horror elements to this movie."

"The fear of the audience is the favorite of ghosts and the biggest source of magical power I absorb from the movie. Now that there is no fear of emotion, I can only try to rely on the power of the audience's fantasy to make up."

"And, do you think it's fun to do this!?"

"..."

——The last sentence is your true purpose! ?

Alexis wanted to make complaints like this, but after all, the other party is her current boss, and Miss Valkyrie can only hold back...

********

In any case, in March 1998, the filming of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" officially started.

This is the one with the longest preparation time in Charlotte's movies-it took a small half a year from the completion of the casting to the start of filming.

Even more than the average Hollywood movie.

This is quite inconsistent with Charlotte's nicknames of "Quick Gunner" and "Little Money Saver".

However, after arriving at the shooting site, both the actors and some representatives of the investors, as well as the David Hyman sent by Warner to assist in the production of the film, had to admit that the small half-year time was worth it—

"This is Hogwarts in my mind!"

Joanna Rowling sighed like a dream.

——As the original author, Rowling was naturally invited to participate in the launch ceremony of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

She originally wanted to discuss some details of the plot with Charlotte, but after seeing the studio that the crew spent more than half a year building, Mother Magic completely forgot her purpose.

She only felt that the plants and trees here fit so well with the ancient magic school she imagined.

——Even if this is just a huge studio, many rooms are just mere appearances.

However, the most shocking is not the original author Rowling, but a bunch of small actors including Emma Watson.

"The Hogwarts I dreamed of is like this!"

Tom Felton shouted.

"Me too, but the Hogwarts in my dreams are more beautiful!"

Talking behind Tom was Daniel Radcliffe.

Faced with this boy who was a little smaller than himself and got the role of Harry Potter, Tom couldn't help but snorted.

-Isn’t it just luck to be the protagonist!

Tom didn't like Daniel very much, but he didn't admit that it was jealousy or something.

"I'm trying to figure out the role-I play Draco Malfoy, I hate him for Harry Potter!"

Tom said to himself in his heart,

"Didn't Mrs. Alan Rickman say that a good actor should be a unity of human and drama. I just want to be a good actor..."

*********

Charlotte didn't know the thoughts of the young actors.

——Of course, even if he knew ~www.readwn.com~, he wouldn't care.

At this time, he was talking about the investor representatives, including David Hyman sent by Warner, about the studio that took a little half a year to build.

——Or "Hogwarts Castle" is not bad.

"Our "Hogwarts" was designed with reference to many buildings in Oxford and Cambridge. At the same time, it was originally a dilapidated castle. While building the studio, we also tried our best to preserve the original castle. The style of this has formed the unique feeling now..."

"It is indeed a very unique style!"

David Hyman looked around while listening to Charlotte's account.

To be honest, he didn't expect Charlotte Booth to have the courage to do this--

The current "Hogwarts" is not so much a huge studio, but rather a real fantasy castle.

Although this has increased the cost of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in terms of scenes, overall, it does have a lot of benefits—

First of all, this can greatly reduce the cost of renting the venue in the later stage, and most of the scenes can be shot in this "Castle" studio;

Secondly, because there are so many details in this "castle", many of the pictures that originally needed to be produced with computer special effects can be taken in real scene.

Although it is still inevitable to use computer technology to retouch maps, the workload and cost have been reduced a lot.

In this way, the cost of building the "old castle" has been basically eliminated once the room is entered and exited.

And more importantly, this "old castle" can be reused.

——Thinking of the preliminary plan that Charlotte explained to him earlier, David Hyman couldn't help but get excited.
