Chatty Hollywood

In fact, after confirming that she would personally film "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Charlotte realized a problem -

This version of Hermione Granger may no longer be played by Emma Watson.

There is no way, Emma Watson was born in 1990, and now in 1997, she is only in her early 7 years.

According to the plot of the book, Hermione Granger should have been 11 years old when she first appeared.

Unlike adults whose looks are basically fixed, the looks and bodies of child actors change every year - a gap of about four years in age can basically be said to be earth-shaking.

Therefore, Emma, ​​who is now seven years old, will never be able to play the 11-year-old Hermione in the book, and Charlotte cannot wait two or three years until the other person barely meets the age before filming.

In fact, according to this logic, not only Emma, ​​who played Hermione in the original version, but also the other two actors in the "Gryffindor Golden Triangle", Charlotte may also have to use other actors——

There is no way, time and the laws of human growth cannot be violated.

Therefore, Charlotte was a little surprised to see Emma Watson's name in the primary list——

"Old Qiang, isn't this kid a little old -"

"She!"

Lao Qiang took one look at Emma's photo and immediately reacted - it seemed that the other party left a deep impression on him.

"She wasn't auditioning for Hermione Granger."

"Not Hermione!?"

"Yes, it's Ginny Weasley!"

Lao Qiang explained.

"Do we have any plans to have Ron's sister appear in the movie?"

Charlotte asked.

The old gun shrugged,

"This was her self-recommendation, so I was deeply impressed by this little girl!"

"I see. Interesting!"

Charlotte nodded.

In the original work of the "Harry Potter" series, Ginny Weasley did appear in the first "Philosopher's Stone", although she played more roles in the second "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" 》.

However, Joanna Rowling's "Chamber of Secrets" is still being written, and the future girlfriend of Harry Potter is still just a minor character.

"Will Emma Watson or her parents compete for the role of Ginny now because they are sure that "Harry Potter" will be a series?"

"It's not something that's hard to guess."

Lao Qiang smiled and said,

"The original author Rowling has long revealed that she is writing a sequel, and as a big-name director, you are also preparing to make an adapted movie. In the eyes of many people, as long as it is successful at the box office, "Harry Potter" is inevitable It’s going to be a new movie series!”

"You're right!"

Charlotte laughed too;

“Besides, it’s not a bad thing to prepare for a rainy day from now on. But——”

Charlotte glanced at the old gun,

"Let's select the most important actors first!"

***********

In the preparatory work before filming, many things such as costumes and props must be prepared in advance, but these can only be started after the actors have been identified.

Therefore, after arriving in London and playing with Charlize for a few days, Charlotte began to choose actors based on the list of people listed by Lao Gun——

What was decided first was not the most important "Gryffindor Golden Triangle".

After all, the selection of young actors is very troublesome.

The first thing to be determined is the actors for adult roles, such as Professor Dumbledore, Harry's uncle Vernon, etc.

Because she had worked with a group of British actors in "Sleepy Hollow", Charlotte directly selected several people from them.

The only thing that makes Charlotte regretful is that the old man Christopher Lee's schedule does not match -

"Otherwise I think you might be able to play Dumbledore!"

Charlotte said to Christopher Lee.

The old man has no regrets.

"My appearance is a little fierce. It's hard to say whether I'm suitable for playing Dumbledore. However, if you want to film "The Lord of the Rings", I will definitely fight for the role of Gandalf."

"Lord of the Rings?"

In the past two years, there have indeed been rumors that New Line is studying the possibility of launching a film adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", and Mr. Westwood also revealed relevant news to Charlotte.

But Charlotte has no idea about the movie for the time being.

No way, the copyright owner of Tolkien's masterpiece is really difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Charlotte has no time to study the composition of Middle-earth for the time being.

"Leave it to Peter Jackson, who loves Tolkien!"

That's what Charlotte originally thought.

However, now that she heard Christopher Lee mention it, Charlotte remembered that this person was still a die-hard "Gandalf" fan.

——Although he later played the wizard Saruman in "The Lord of the Rings", what he actually wanted to play most was Gandalf.

Speaking of this, Charlotte suddenly remembered that Ian McKellen, who later played Gandalf in "The Lord of the Rings", seemed to be on Dumbledore's short list.

"Maybe I can-"

Charlotte suddenly had an idea...

***********

Dumbledore is not the only character who encounters strange problems.

When choosing the actor for Professor Snape, the original author Rowling's suggestions made Charlotte dumbfounded.

"You want me to play Snape!?"

Charlotte pointed to her nose with a look of surprise on her face,

"Joanna, didn't you say you wanted all the major roles to be played by British actors?"

"Hope is hope, but——"

Joanna Rowling looked confused,

"I originally designed the character of Professor Snape in your image!"

"..."

Charlotte was in a daze for a moment.

He really didn't expect that just because he got to know J.K. Rowling early, it would lead to such a change.

"The writer's imagination is so big!"

Charlotte sighed and suddenly realized a problem——

"Joanna, I remember that Snape was shown as a disgusting and disgusting figure in your book, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"And you designed him in my image—"

Charlotte glared at Rowling,

"How much do you hate me in your mind!?"

"..."

In the end, Rowling had to explain to Charlotte for a long time before the director stopped complaining about her.

In fact, Charlotte from the future naturally knows that Professor Snape is not a villain——

On the contrary, by the time the series is over, this man who has experienced a lifetime of suffering will almost be able to participate in the election of "Top Ten People Who Moved Britain".

However, this does not stop Charlotte from complaining about Rowling now.

Of course, he would not agree to play Professor Snape just because of this.

——Although according to the original author Rowling, he really looks very similar to Professor Snape in the book.

"I remember you said that you want to write seven parts of the "Harry Potter" series, right? If it were to make a movie, I would probably spend ten years on it - I don't have that much time to stay. Filming in the UK.”

Charlotte gave the reason for her refusal,

"What's more, the habit of filming movies in Hollywood is that actors in their early thirties often play roles in their twenties, and actors in their thirties often play roles in their forties - from this perspective , I’m best suited to play Snape in his youth.”

"Really? Snape was pretty good in his youth, too!"

Joanna Rowling nodded helplessly, but began to think about adding a scene to the young Snape in the subsequent books.

——So, the author still can’t afford to offend.
