Chatty Hollywood

Regardless of whether the original author Rowling has any new plans, the final casting of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, as time passed, Charlotte became more and more irritable.

"It's so troublesome!"

After looking at the photos for a long time, Charlotte finally couldn't help it.

"Who knows whether they will become disabled in the future!!!"

Regarding this, Lao Qiang and Alexis on the other side were helpless——

Being permanently disabled is the biggest nightmare for child stars.

It can be said that countless child stars who were very popular in their youth have fallen at this hurdle.

And for the "Harry Potter" series, this is even more of a big trouble——

Because these young actors have to act in seven or eight movies!

Such a long time is enough for a handsome boy to grow into a rough man.

Thinking about the number of times Harry Potter and Ron Weasley who grew up later in her original world were criticized, Charlotte felt that it was very important to cast young actors who would not become disabled this time. one thing.

However, among the spells Charlotte mastered, there was no one called "Looking Old at Three Years Old"...

"If it really doesn't work, don't think about what happens next!"

In the end, even the original author Rowling couldn't stand it anymore.

——She also looked at a lot of photos and almost vomited.

"After all, this is different from the wand in my book that chooses its owner. The character can't help us choose the actor-"

"etc!"

Being reminded of Rowling's words, Charlotte suddenly had an idea flash in her mind.

"Does a wand choose its master?"

He has a good idea...

**********

"Is this what you call a good idea!?"

Looking at Charlotte who was busy, Lao Qiang looked confused.

The red-bearded assistant director now has some doubts. Is his young partner mentally retarded?

Yes, this is what Charlotte is doing now -

Make a staff! !

"Are you sure that these wands you made can really choose their own masters like Rowling said - and thus help us choose actors!?"

Although Charlotte has cast spells in front of Lao Qiang many times so far, Lao Qiang still feels a little unreal.

Especially this time, Charlotte actually said that he could make a magic wand to help them select actors, which made Lao Qiang even more unbelievable.

“If you can pick actors with a stick, why do you need a casting director!?”

The assistant director muttered.

There is no way, Lao Qiang has been in charge of the previous casting work.

He had worked hard for several months to select hundreds of pretty good prospects for the second round, but now Charlotte said that he could use a magic wand to select actors - this made Lao Qiang feel that all his previous hard work had been in vain.

Charlotte also saw Lao Qiang's emotions. He explained,

"The method of making a wand to select actors is indeed feasible, but it is limited to the "Harry Potter" movie series."

"Is this because Rowling's original novel has such a setting, so you can exploit the readers' wishes and fantasies?"

It was Charlize on the side who asked this question.

She has studied the theory of magic from Charlotte and has a good understanding of issues in this area.

Charlotte nodded,

"That's understandable, although it's a bit simpler."

"In fact, because of the previous broadcast of the TV animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", this work has already gathered a small amount of magic, and the imagination of the original readers has also generated a small amount of magic. These wands can have automatic The ability to choose a master is the result of these magic powers.”

"But will this choice be accurate?"

Lao Qiang was a little worried.

To be honest, although he thought Charlotte's various spells were magical, it was a bit difficult for him to completely believe in these strange things.

Charlotte also understood Lao Qiang’s thoughts. He smiled and said,

"The selection of wands will be closer to the eyes of public fans - in fact,

It’s not wrong to think that fans are choosing the leading actors. "

"Why?"

Lao Qiang didn't understand.

"Because the magic of the wand comes from the imagination of animation fans."

Charlotte explained,

"Although because it is not a horror and supernatural work, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" cannot quickly gather the power of the audience's fear emotions like the previous movies we shot, but according to my recent research, in fact, other types of works, It’s not that magic cannot be produced, it’s just that the amount is relatively small. And the source is people’s imagination.”

"In other words, because the magic power you give to the wand comes from the imagination of readers and animation viewers, will they naturally choose the actor who best fits their imagination?"

Lao Qian still didn't quite understand, but Charlize on the other side understood. She asked,

"However, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. If you directly use people's imagination to select actors, will you not be able to select them in the end?"

"This is possible!"

Charlotte nodded,

"However, I also attached other magic to the wand to deal with unexpected situations."

"Other magic!?"

"For example, I would give more weight to Joanna Rowling and my own imagination. If the magic wand can't pick the right actor, we can choose it ourselves."

"In that case, wouldn't it be the same as now!?"

Lao Qiang complained.

"It's actually not that different!"

Charlotte shook her head;

"Our current selection method relies on conscious thinking, while selection with a magic wand relies on subconsciousness——"

"For example, when we select a child to play Harry Potter ourselves, we will think about various reasons and decide whether the child is suitable. But using a wand to select is very simple. We use our subconscious mind to judge whether the child is suitable. Harry Potter?"

"Can it still be like this!?"

The somewhat understanding Lao Qiang was really dumbfounded now.

Having worked as a casting director for many years, he knows that for many emotional matters, people's subconscious judgments, or first impressions, are often the most correct.

However, in view of people's thinking mode, this kind of correct judgment is often affected by consciousness, and people may not even notice what their initial impression is.

But now, Charlotte's magic, or magic wand, can extract the initial judgment of people's subconscious mind! ?

Although Lao Qiang thought it was a bit fantastic, he couldn't help but believe it.

"If you do this, maybe the selection effect will be really good!"

The assistant director, who had recently been troubled by casting issues, was delighted.

"Especially, according to you, this is equivalent to choosing with animation fans, which still means-"

"The actors selected will match the fans' imagination to the greatest extent."

Seeing that Lao Qian finally understood, Charlotte smiled and said,

"Furthermore, in order to maximize the power of the produced wand, we have to make special choices regardless of the selection method or selection time!"

"Special choice!?"

Lao Qiang was stunned.

Charlotte said naturally,

"To choose the time, in order to best meet the fans' imagination, I can choose when the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is broadcast, which happens to be almost to the end of the first season. As for the selection method, ——”

Mr. Director smiled slightly,

"Ms. Rowling's book provides us with a very suitable method——"
