Chapter 392: Senior
When it comes to minors, the British paparazzi, no matter how crazy they are, will be a little more restrained, and after asking a few simple questions, they will target Ryan.
"Mr. Jenkins, we've found that a lot of young actors have no previous acting experience, how can you be sure that they are the best in their age group?" A reporter asked.
"I never said I was going to pick the best, but I believe they are the best." Ryan reminded him, "I said before the auditions officially started, if I think he or she is Harry or Hermione, then they are the most suitable candidates, otherwise I don't want to be a good person." ”
"There was news before, you have long been interested in Emma? Miss Watson as Hermione? Granger, is that why she made it through the audition? "Entertainment journalists never mind looking at the world in the worst possible way.
"In my mind, she's Hermione? Granger. I'm afraid any Harry Potter fan in his previous life would have the same opinion, Ryan raised an eyebrow, "Of all the girls, she is the best performer, and she is also the most suitable, and she ...... in this regard."
He pointed to himself, "I have more say than any of you. ”
After speaking, he moved away from the microphone, and the host also took this opportunity to announce the end of the press conference.
The reporters were still shouting loudly, and Ryan waved to all the young actors and beckoned them to leave.
Leaving the banquet hall and entering the lounge, the noise in front was still clearly audible, and Ryan suddenly felt that the crew should not only teach these people to act, but also teach them the most basic ways to deal with reporters, otherwise the three sentences will be tricked, which will not be beneficial to the crew or the movie.
"Are they all crazy?" Emma? Watson stood beside his mother, muttering.
"When the movie comes out, they'll be ten times crazier than they are now." Taylor bit the apple and walked over to her, "You're crying then." You laugh, you grimace, they will take pictures of you and send them to the newspaper. ”
"You seem to have a lot of experience?" Emma? Watson looked Taylor up and down to make sure none of the child stars she knew about were such a person, "Do you often face them?" ”
"It's okay, when they photograph me, they cover my face." Taylor tossed the apple in his hand, "Do you need guidance, Miss Emma?" Christine and I are Hollywood veterans. ”
The tomboy next to her nodded vigorously.
"Our charges are cheap, just among your toys, let us pick one of them...... Oops, who played me! Taylor turned his head to see Ryan's finger that he had just withdrawn, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's going to be stupid!" ”
Ryan ignored the little girl who complained, and Julie clapped her hands next to her, reminding everyone of the press conference. There was also a small celebratory party to which these little actors and their loved ones were invited.
The use of minors as the main actors on such a large scale is not often seen in the history of Hollywood, and it is desirable that these children are generally around the age of ten. can devote themselves to the performance, and the crew has to give them a warm feeling of a big family.
The party was a celebration of their selection from tens of thousands of candidates, and a way to build a trusting relationship with their families and the main crew members as soon as possible.
Even before the film officially started filming. They still have a long time to train, but the sooner they get acquainted with it, the better.
Exit through another door in the lounge and turn a hallway. Julise led them into a smaller ballroom.
As soon as the door of the banquet hall opened, there was a burst of applause inside.
"If it weren't for you, maybe I would be one of them." Taylor followed Ryan's side, still complaining a little, Emma who was walking in front? Watson seemed to hear her words, and couldn't help but turn his head curiously, "Do you want to star in this series too?" Which character? ”
"Miss Jack-of-all-trades."
Hearing Taylor's words, the little girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and asked, "What are you ......doing then?"
In her few impressions, Ryan seemed to love this sister very much, and if she asked for it, it shouldn't be very difficult.
Ryan disagreed. Taylor shook the curly hair on his head like a lion cub, "I still have to learn music, and I don't have time." ”
"Music?"
"yes." Taylor unconsciously raised his little chin, "I'm a trainee at Warner Records now, and in a few years, you'll see someone named Taylor?" Swift's big singer. ”
"Can I get you to sign now?"
"Of course." Taylor pulled Christine up with a big grin, "Let's go, tomboy, let's take Miss Hermione around and tell the crew that Hermione is in my hands now, and no one is allowed to bully her." ”
Looking at the little girl whose face was pulled away with a black line, Ryan shook his head and smiled, found Chris? Columbus.
"Chris, they'll be in your hands from now on." He glanced at the little actors.
"God willing, may these people have half the understanding you had at the beginning."
Chris? Columbus has been making movies for all ages, and there is no doubt that Ryan was the most hassle-free and enjoyable young actor he met back then.
He then remembered something else, "I heard Lord Morrison say that the Queen is ready to let the House of Lords discuss and possibly award you a knighthood. ”
"Hmm...... I've heard about it too. Ryan nodded, not very concerned.
This kind of knighthood granted to people in the cultural and sports circles has no corresponding benefits and cannot be inherited, it is just a name, and he does not lack this now.
As for the House of Lords discussion, if the royal family really wants to, the House of Lords is not a problem at all, the House of Lords of the Kingdom of Great Britain almost exists in name only, and many members of the House of Lords are empty of titles handed down from their ancestors, but even their livelihood is a problem, and even many dukes or earls are street shoemakers or taxi drivers.
They attend meetings of the House of Lords, often in order to hold meetings, and give out grants of tens of pounds.
If nothing else, let's talk about Diana's younger brother, the Earl of Spencer Jr., Elizabeth II's godson, who inherited hundreds of millions of pounds of family property, but these are real estate like the Olthope estate, and in order to make a living, he worked part-time as a current affairs commentator for BBC television.
Ryan had been in Western high society for many years, and knew that the traditional aristocracy of Europe had long since declined.
Somewhat unexpectedly, Ryan saw Pie in the ballroom? Jin Sili, the agent lady is obviously here for this group of young actors.
"Hi, Ryan." Jin Sili stood beside him and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that I would become a billionaire one day." ”
Ryan's foundation also accepted investment from his friends, and Scott's IT stock allowed these people to get a large dividend.
"Trust me, Pat, this is just the beginning." Ryan patted her arm and asked with concern, "When will your personal problems be resolved?" ”
"Was it too busy before...... pie? Jin Sili whispered, "Now only God knows what the purpose of those men approaching me, don't forget, we still have enemies, in this circle, in order to fight opponents, some people can use any means." ”
Common interests bring not only common alliances, but also common enemies.
Ryan, Nicole, Kinsley and Scott not only have a decade-long friendship, but also entangled and inseparable common interests, which have moved the cake of one of them, that is, the cake of all of them.
"Okay, let's talk about something else."
Now the time and occasion are not right, and Jinsili took the initiative to change the subject, "Ryan, which of these young actors do you think has the most potential?" ”
"Are you going to dig into the wall?" Ryan came interested.
Kinsley shrugged her shoulders, clearly meaning that.
"Frankly, this series will make them hot stars, and it will limit their future development." What Ryan said, Jinsili naturally understood, she nodded, and said, "But as long as the Harry Potter series doesn't end for a day, they can bring huge benefits." ”
"In that case, you can dig them all up to KK Agency."
"This can't be done, and the innovative artist agency has also been dispatched." The innovative artist agency in Kinsley's mouth is the giant CAA in this industry.
For a long time, KK's agency has not been very eye-catching, and most of the signings are second- and third-tier or not very famous actors, and then with the help of Ryan and his partners, they have become popular and benefited.
In this way, the possibility of conflict with CAA is reduced, and similarly, Ryan's films will use a lot of CAA's stars, and the balance of interests will always be the only way to gain a foothold and develop in Hollywood.
"Then give her priority." Ryan's eyes looked to Taylor's side.
"The girl next to Alison? Emma? Watson? Kinsley nodded.
"When she's a little bit older, you can do a full package and you can push her into the fashion industry." Ryan clasped his chest with one hand, pinched his chin and said, "If the Harry Potter series is as successful as expected, she will definitely become an idol for countless teenagers, and the endorsement contract alone will be soft." ”
"Okay, I'll have someone talk to her parents." Kingsley believes in Ryan very much, and it is he who has made a huge difference in Hollywood.
"Pat, you'd better do it yourself, her parents are some well-known lawyers, and it's not easy to deal with."
The atmosphere of the party has always been convivial, and the ballroom is more like a children's playground, Chris? Columbus deserves to be the director in Hollywood who is best at dealing with children, and he quickly became involved with these young actors.
The rapport was conducive to the crew's work for the rest of the day, and after two more days in London, Ryan refused Taylor's request to go with him and flew to distant New Zealand. (To be continued......)
