Chapter Seventy-Two: The Third
"Because the vast majority of the cast for this film needs British actors, our casting will be mostly done on British soil. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ "We have already negotiated with the British Actors' Guild and the agency, and now we have decided on a few roles. β
"We still have dozens of big and small roles to be confirmed, especially major roles like Hermione, Ron, and we expect to have around eight rounds of auditions. And now there are thousands of children in the UK who have been selected as young actors in Harry Potter!"
"Wow!" "So much?" The people of the Fire Lion couldn't help but be surprised when they heard the information from the British side, after a long period of hard work, the influence of "Harry Potter" in the United Kingdom is not only more eye-catching than other countries, but also more than "historical".
"What are you planning to do about casting?" asked Sid.
"For roles of different roles and ages, we will go through several rounds of auditions to select actors with enough acting skills and meet the image requirements, and in general, we will compress the number of candidates to 4-5 people, and then let the director and the producer review and select the final actors. β
Although Britain lags behind Hollywood in terms of special effects and production, as a country with a more developed film and television industry in continental Europe, its experience in actors and filming is not inferior to Hollywood, and Britain has long had a tradition and experience in British-American co-productions.
For example, as early as 1957, Sir Lawrence Oliver directed and starred in "The Dragon and the Phoenix", which was specially invited by Marilyn Monroe to the United Kingdom to star.
"Where's the timing?" Sid didn't have any doubts about the professional's arrangement, and instead asked about the schedule.
"We expect to be able to complete the casting in six to eight months. "The casting director clearly has a good idea of what he does.
"OK, good. Sid nodded, "In terms of the specific schedule, Henry's producer team will also help you follow up at any time." Next up is ......"

Just after the general project meeting of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Fire Lion Pictures finally announced Lindsay's new plan - "Hannah Montana" TV series.
Although the planned "song and dance film project" was not announced in one go, Lindsay Lohan, the 12-year-old candidate for Best Supporting Actress at this year's Oscars, ran to act in a TV series!?
Although the parties have no opinion, it does not mean that the media will turn a blind eye to it.
Whether it is an insider or an outsider, the film industry and the television industry can be described as a natural chasm.
"Historically" more than ten years later, in 2013, "House of Cards" directed by David Fincher caused a storm in the city because big-name film directors joined the TV series. Not to mention the current 1999?
After getting the news, the media immediately attracted attention with the big headline "Oscar Best Supporting Actress Candidate Enters the TV Series?".
Although they didn't unearth anything substantive other than the title "Hannah Montana", the script hand-picked by Sidley Leon and Lindsay Lohan starring Lindsay Lohan were enough to arouse the interest of most people, especially young children.
"Brother Sid, they say, 'It's a waste to have Lindsay Lohan, a young talented actor, star in a TV series! Lindsay Nizi smiled at Sid with a gossip magazine.
"Really?" Sid said disapprovingly, plucking the guitar in his hand as he jotted something in his notes.
"Brother Sid, how is the song written?" Since the last time he was "forced" by Lindsay and Britney to sing, Sid simply began to try to compose music, and his first attempt was with the song "Hannah Montana".
As a childhood memory of millennial children in Europe and the United States, "Hannah Montana" not only has a wonderful and interesting story, but also a catchy song, which has the potential of a generation of divine comedy.
Although Sid can also entrust the song matter to Max and others, it would be too wasteful to let these excellent songs be lost because of this.
"That's it. Sid nodded, then strummed the strings, and the smooth guitar sound flowed out, "Although these songs are all based on country music, I have incorporated more rock styles, and the requirements for singing are still relatively high." Sid explained to Lindsay.
"You listen to me sing it once, then you learn the tune first, then you learn the lyrics. After Sid's explanation, he began to sing, although the original song was Miley Sellers's female vocals, but Sid's falsetto cover is also uniquely interesting.

Although it wasn't the first time I'd heard Sid sing, Lindsay was still fascinated by it, "Wow, Brother Sid, you really should be a singer." β
"If I'm going to be a singer, I'll be your director?" Sid laughed and rubbed Lindsay's red hair.
Lindsay has been good at singing and dancing since she was a child, and although she has not studied country music, her innate sense of musicality still allows her to sing it generally after listening to it only three times.
"Oh~~, I heard a little genius singing in the hallway. An "obscene" voice pushed the door open and walked in from outside Sid's office. Sid and Lindsay stopped with a frown, Lindsay because someone had come to disturb her and Sid's "time for two", and Sid because he heard who was coming.
"Big Bad Eggs, Linkin Park, and 50Cent's new albums, aren't you busy?" said Sid, looking back at the intruder, who wasn't Max Martin, the director of Fire Lion Records.
"I'm called taking a break from my busy schedule, and a hard-working employee like me should give me a full attendance award. Max Martin grinned and walked in.
"I see that you are so idle, is it because my boss is too kind to you?" Sid squinted his eyes and smiled.
Max Martin immediately jumped up and waved his hand, "Merciful!
"Hey, why are you two so dirty?" said the Lindsey snickered.
"Okay, okay, adults don't listen to the topic of adults, children. Sid laughed and plugged Lindsay's ear.
"I'm not a child! I'm already a teenager!" replied Lindsay, unconvinced, holding up her small body, but her small figure was really not convincing.
"Yes, Lindsay is already a big beauty~~" Max Martin said in a flat tone with a poker face.
"It's disgusting! I don't want you to talk about me!" Lindsay looked disgusted and kicked Max Martin in the shin.
"Ahhh~~, my legs!!" Max Martin rolled on the floor with his legs in his hands.
"I said," Sid held his forehead and looked at the people who were having a good time, "you guys are really having fun." β
"Kick!" Sid's new assistant knocked on the door and said, "Boss, it's meeting time." β
"Oh, really?" Sid snapped his fingers, "Alright, you two, stop playing." β
Lindsay and Max Martin revert back to their normal form in a second.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
When Sid, Lindsay, and Max arrived in the conference room, all the colleagues from Fire Lion TV had already arrived, as well as a few old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.
"Jeremy~, I heard that when Nolan filmed "Buried Alive", it was not easy for you to toss, haha. Sid and Jeremy hugged each other warmly, and it was the first time they had seen each other in more than two months.
"Hehe, I thought the whole thing was fun. After a period of polishing, Jeremy said that he enjoyed the grinding process.
In this filming of "Buried Alive", Jeremy directly rested in the coffin for more than a month in order to figure out the role, which can be called crazy dedication, which was appreciated by Sid and Nolan David.
This also made Jeremy's conversational temperament evolve a lot in just a few months.
Looking at Jeremy's demeanor, Sid nodded with secret satisfaction.
"So let's talk about today's real topic. Sid nodded, and the assistants handed out the folders that had been prepared long ago to the attendees.
"What is this?" Jeremy was surprised to see what was inside.
"Jeremy, are you interested in acting in a TV series?" asked Sid with a smile.
"24 Hours!?" Jeremy asked in surprise.
"Uh-huh. Sid nodded, "Interested?"
He has long had the idea of letting Jeremy star in "24 Hours", and Jeremy's tough and sophisticated male style in "history" made him star in "Spy 4" after Matt Damon.
So for playing the role of a secret agent, Jeremy can be said to be a natural fit, not to mention that "24 Hours" itself is still a best-selling novel of nearly 10 million. Many critics in the North American world of fiction and literature have compared Sid's "24 Hours" to Robert Rudrum's "The Spy" and Ian Fleming's "007".
Many people think that sooner or later it will be adapted into a generation of classics. So the dramatization of "24 Hours" this time is a logical thing.
