Unfortunately, soon, with the help of the original author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", J. A statement from K. Rowling, Gianna's desire to make soy sauce was also shattered.

"I'm very supportive of director Charlotte Booth's adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone into a film, but if possible, I want the main characters to be played by British actors as much as possible to express the original British mood of the story. ”

“...... Hell, British flair!"

Not only Gianna, Rowling's statement made the parents of many child stars in Hollywood angry-

You must know that except for a few films such as "Home Alone", in most Hollywood movies, children are just inconspicuous supporting roles.

Now there is finally a big director who wants to make a commercial blockbuster mainly for children, and Hollywood child stars and their parents are sharpening their knives and preparing to compete for roles, but the original author said something like this, isn't this a smashing of people's jobs!?

"Let's hope Charlotte Booth won't listen to that British single mother!"

For a while, everyone prayed like this.

However, those who are familiar with the rules of Hollywood entertainment also know that this is in trouble-

That's not to say that J· K. Rowling, as the original author, has a lot of influence, what will happen if the film adaptation doesn't listen to her opinion.

- "Forrest Gump" changed the original work into a mess, and the good political satire was changed into an inspirational chicken soup for the soul, so angry that the original author Winston Glum was unwilling to admit that the film was adapted, and the result was not to sweep the Oscars and win the 1994 North American box office championship?

The opinion of the original author is not important.

However, when the opinion can affect the box office or the cost of the movie, it matters.

J· That's exactly what K. Rowling's words do.

The reason is very simple -

British actors are cheap!

Although it is a developed country like the United States, in Hollywood, British actors have always been known for their good quality and low prices.

In fact, if it weren't for the xenophobic nature of North American audiences, it would be difficult for most British actors to get enough box office appeal in Hollywood-

Coupled with the performances of British actors, they generally have a relatively heavy stage play style, so they are not liked by the Oscars, who advocate methodology-

If it weren't for these two factors, cheap British actors would have taken over Hollywood a long time ago!

But even so, in Hollywood, the British gang is still quite powerful.

From directors to actors, many are from the UK.

Especially in some golden supporting roles, because what is needed is acting skills rather than box office appeal, British actors with solid basic skills have a great advantage.

Not to mention the generation after generation, an endless stream of English roses.

It can be said that even directors in the United States are very fond of using cheap British actors many times.

- After all, you can save money!

It's just that in order to cater to the psychology of local audiences and the ubiquitous interpersonal relationships in Hollywood, the main roles must use local American actors.

But even so, in specific fields such as costume films, it is still the world of British actors.

- Because in the eyes of the audience, it seems more professional to let classical Britons play costume films.

After all, modern Americans, because of their constant racial integration for more than two hundred years, look very different from those of the Declaration of Independence era.

What's more, such a thing as classical temperament has never been the temperament of an American.

- The rough guy and the girl next door are the favorites of the people in this hot land of North America.

So much so that when it comes to costume films, even if the story about the American Revolutionary War is filmed, the British and Australians look more like ...... than modern Americans

- This cannot but be said to be a kind of irony!

As for the film adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", since it tells the story of British magic, it is more suitable for British actors to play.

And now the original author, J· K. Rowling spoke again......

People who know how British actors compete in Hollywood immediately realize that Rowling's words are likely to give Charlotte Booth, who dominates the film, an excuse -

After all, in addition to her continued success, Charlotte, as a director, is also a well-known "fast gunner" and "money-saving little expert".

- How could he not firmly seize this kind of good opportunity that can not only please the fans of the original work, but also save the cost of actors, and will not offend the local forces in North America?

Sure enough—

"I respect Lady Rowling's opinion and will try to restore an original Hogwarts for everyone!"

Charlotte's response sounded polite, but it suddenly dashed the hopes of those Hollywood child stars.

"In order to select the right actors, the crew will then conduct a massive audition in London - we will select the most suitable Harry Potter!"

- Shit, the most suitable Harry Potter!You just want to take the opportunity to make a big news to promote it!?

The parents of countless American child stars cursed Charlotte in their hearts.

It should be said that their guess was correct, and Charlotte did accept Rowling's opinion out of cost considerations.

In fact, when Charlotte first decided to shoot "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" herself, Joanna Rowling talked to him about using British actors.

To be honest, Charlotte was very dismissive of the self-righteous arrogance of the British Empire, but he also knew that there were indeed many good people in the world-

From North America to East Asia, there are many "elites" in the world who like the British aristocracy.

- Charlotte doesn't think so, but it doesn't mean that he can't get along with money.

- These people's money is not earned in vain!

In addition, it is true that as Rowling said, it is indeed easier to show the feeling in her by using all British actors, and it can save costs, so why not?

In fact, Charlotte and Rowling have long been on the same page.

The previous behavior was completely a joint hype.

- After all, the American version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is about to be released.

And with this hype, the film project that has just begun to prepare immediately attracted countless eyeballs.

"Just follow the steps in the future!"

After reviewing the follow-up preparation plan that Alexis and Old Gun had arranged for him, Charlotte nodded lightly,

"The early casting work was done by the old gun, and as for the construction of the studio, it's up to you, Alexis! Anyway, when we were working on the TV anime version, we had already done a lot of research, and even the digital modeling of Hogwarts was done a lot - it was all done by the animation and special effects department that you lead, didn't it?"

"Okay!"

Miss Valkyrie shrugged.

Soon after, large-scale casting and studio construction began in the UK......
