Chapter 264: Open Casting

The positioning of "Twilight" is a fantasy romance novel, and Link chose to write "Twilight" mainly because of its original surname.

Combining magical magic and beautiful love into one book, the first surname has created a refreshing bestseller.

Link has been keeping an eye on the sales of "Twilight" because it is related to his upcoming next shoot.

Everyone knows why the "Harry Potter" series of movies is so popular? It is precisely because of the super high sales of the original book around the world that it has long had a large number of loyal readers and fans, and it has also created a huge invisible attention to the movie itself.

The same is true of "Twilight", Link's debut novel has not only topped the bestseller list in the United States for seven consecutive months, but has also sold more than 10 million sales.

The Washington Post's bestseller section is the best of all print media.

At the end of each week, the Washington Post updates the data in real time.

Just like the "Washington Post" in Link's hand now, when he directly skipped other sections and directly opened the bestseller list, he was surprised to find: "It turns out that "Twilight" has sold more than 60 million copies in North America alone!" It's only been less than seven months, and it seems that Lao Tzu really has a talent for writing. ”

Link snorted triumphantly, and it was particularly gratifying to see that his debut novel had crushed the four Harry Potter films of the 'Fantasy Queen' J.K. Rowling.

Anyone who pays attention to the bestseller list is almost numb.

The top of each list is almost the same, starting from second place to fifth place, all four books are J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, which shows how popular this book really is.

But it is such a popular book, and the huge fan base is innumerable, and it has high praise around the world.

However, a copy of "Twilight" has stubbornly suppressed these four books, and the author of this book is called, Link.

"J.K. Rowling really deserves to be the queen of fantasy, the first part of "Harry Potter" was released in 1998, and it can still be seen on the bestseller list, which is really good."

However, Link also understands that the reason why the "Harry Potter" series is so popular that even the first part can still appear on the bestseller list is not unrelated to J.K. Rowling's high production.

Every time J.K. Rowling's new book is released, it always gives the first few old books a second life, otherwise her wealth would not have accumulated so quickly, and in just a few years, she surpassed Queen Elizabeth II to become the richest female surname in the whole of Britain.

The appearance of a copy of "Twilight" has already caused a sensation in the entire North American writers' circle, although they both belong to the English-speaking countries, Britain and the United States are still fraternal countries, but the field that should be has always pressed the United States.

But now, this phenomenon has been reversed, and Link's debut novel not only caused a sensation, but also suppressed J.K. Rowling, known as the "Queen of Fantasy", like a shot in the arm for North American writers.

As has been rumored, "Twilight" has regained Americans' self-confidence.

is such a best-selling masterpiece that is popular all over the world, when Link announced that he was going to put it on the big screen, how could people who were already deeply crazy about the beautiful love in "Twilight" be willing not to pay attention to it?

In fact, in this paragraph, the discussion of "Twilight" on the Internet has already begun to take shape.

Especially after the finale of "Prison Break", when CAA TV announced that it would not renew "Prison Break", netizens' expectations for "Twilight" became even more hot.

"I think it's been more than two years since Link made his first movie "Eight Miles". The boiling sound of "Eight Miles" is still in my ears, I really queued up all night to buy tickets for it, chased it frantically, watched it over and over again, and I can't forget it. ”

When netizens 'Heaven Passed Away' released this meager article full of sighs with embarrassment, it aroused the enthusiasm of a large number of netizens.

"The landlord said it was so good, it's been two years, and I'm finally waiting for Link's second movie, I'm so excited."

"That's right, Link is a guy who can drive people crazy. "Eight Mile" drove us crazy, and now it's Twilight's turn, and he won't let us down. ”

"Grandma's, it only took a million to shoot "Eight Miles" back then, and although it was really good, if Link only invested a million in "Twilight", I would be tempted to kill him in New York."

"Upstairs man, are you daydreaming? Do you really understand movies? "Twilight" is a fantasy film, a million? Not even a single minute of special effects shot is enough, how did your ** head come up with such a problem? ”

"A million? 100 million is less, as long as the investment is less than 100 million, it is a blasphemy of "Twilight"! Blasphemy, you know? ”

"My heart is starting to heat up, Isabella and Edward's love is so beautiful, when I read the original book at that time, I couldn't help but be moved by it again and again, and shed tears for it. And now, Link is going to make it into a movie, how can that not excite me? I am strongly looking forward to "Twilight", and I will definitely go to the cinema to watch it when the time comes. ”

"The movie is a must-see, but Link actually wants to use 'Avril' to play 'Isabella'? A second-rate actress who can't sing well also accompanies the goddess in my mind? ”

"That's right, support the remarks upstairs! Avril Lavigne, she doesn't deserve to play 'Isabella' at all. Link must find the most beautiful woman in the world to play so as not to ruin the image of 'Isabella'. ”

"Don't just talk about 'Isabella', okay? Although the old lady also likes her, I like my male god 'Edward' even more! I propose to have C. Ronaldo play Edward, wow! It's exciting to think about! ”

"A kicker, you asked him to play 'Edward'? A woman's brain is so terrifying, this kind of chilling thought can come out, it's really convincing! ”

Not to mention, C. Ronaldo is indeed handsome, but his age is obviously not like a 17-year-old high school student. So, let's vote for one person to play, just like the peoples-choice, how do you feel? ”

"Damn, this proposal is really good, I strongly support it! I'm going to nominate my favorite actor now, and everyone is going to vote! ”

……

In this way, netizens' discussions about "Twilight" have been from Link's first movie to who should play the leading role, and even triggered a large-scale nomination and voting campaign again, and people who don't know still think that the 'People's Choice Award' has started again.

Link is also worried about the choice of the actor in "Twilight", the role of "Edward" is too popular, and the requirements are too high.

If it is a candidate for the role of 'Isabella', he can also ignore the opinions of others, because the positioning of 'Isabella' is an ordinary girl's image, although it is of course best to find a beautiful woman to play it, but 'Avril' is not bad, from all aspects, she is very suitable.

Link also laughed when he saw netizens voting for the nomination of the 'Edward' candidate.

"These netizens are so cute, I really have a headache about who should play 'Edward', but now it's okay, I don't have to bother."

Link laughed as he began to tap on the keyboard, and it didn't take long for him to send a meager one.

"Thank you so much for your interest in The Twilight Safner, and I now officially announce that I recognize the valid surnames for this open nomination and voting. No matter who is elected in the end, I will not hesitate to invite him to be the candidate for 'Edward', so please vote as much as you like. Choose your favorite male god in your mind, this is related to the final male protagonist of "Twilight". ”

Originally, netizens didn't have much hope for this vote, and there was more to entertain themselves.

But when Link released this meager article, everyone was shocked to find that Link was bold enough to let others vote for the leading actor in a movie that could be super popular.

"True love, this is true love! Link is so great that even the male lead of "Twilight" can be chosen by all of us? I love you to death! ”

A large number of netizens began to frantically squeeze into the showme meager station, while supporting Link's meager position, they were also frantically voting for their favorite stars.

Not only these netizens, but almost the entire entertainment industry was shocked.

The voting during the 'People's Choice Award' period allowed President George W. Bush to openly canvassed votes, and although there was more of a showmanship, this did not prevent everyone from beginning to realize the power of the Internet.

Especially now, when the 'Taylor incident' has not stopped, a large number of celebrities are eagerly following this voting activity.

"Are you not nominated? How many votes did you have? ”

This has almost become a new way to greet people in the entertainment industry, whether it is a superstar or a young artist who has just debuted, no one dares to underestimate this public voting.

How popular "Twilight" is, this is something that almost everyone knows.

Especially when Link was going to make it into a movie, and it was still being voted on by netizens, those who once felt that they were not qualified to compete for a role in "Twilight" suddenly became excited.

It turns out that everything is possible, as long as you sincerely go to the showme meager station to canvass for votes. (To be continued.) )
