Chapter 736: Those Things About Two Girls
"Casting for Goblet of Fire!?"
Charlotte was stunned, he really hadn't cared about the casting of the "Harry Potter" series for a long time,
"What roles do you want to choose this time?"
"That's a lot!"
David folded his hands and said,
"Not to mention adult figures such as Alastor Moody and Barty Crouch father and son, we only need to find a list of senior British actors, which is relatively easy;
"Cedric Diggory and Akihari!?"
Charlotte thought back,
"I remember that these two characters, in the original book, appeared in the third "Prisoner of Azkaban", right?"
"Yes, but not a significant person!"
David shrugged,
"So, when Chris was shooting, he cut these two characters directly!"
"But in the fourth part, these two characters, especially Cedric Diggory, have a very heavy role!"
"That's why we need to open the casting!"
David sighed,
"Actually, Cedric Diggory is okay - there are so many people in the UK, it's quite easy to choose a good-looking handsome guy, we already have several alternatives - the problem is the two characters of Qiu Zhang and Fleur Delacour!"
"Any questions?"
Charlotte asked, puzzled.
"We need something different from that of an English girl!"
David explains,
According to Rowling's design, Fleur Delacour is a very sultry French girl with Meiwa blood, while Qiu Zhang is of Chinese descent - which is actually evident from her name. β
"So you want to choose a girl with French and Chinese influences?"
Charlotte somewhat understood what David meant,
"And then trapped?"
"Yes. β
David smiled wryly,
"I thought there should always be a suitable choice among so many people, but-"
"Not ideal, right?"
Charlotte said with a smile,
"I can actually guess what the problem is. β
"Really?"
David is interested,
"Then let's have some funβcan you tell me your guess?"
"Okay. β
Charlotte held out a finger,
"Let's talk about Fleur Delacour first - according to the setting of Rowling's original book, the French femininity of this French girl with a beautiful blood is very strong. But the problem is that the unique temperament of French women with a bit of smoke and flattery is often stronger in adult women. β
This is due to the accumulation of time and the influence of society. After all, not every French girl is Sophie Marceau who can act in a movie like "First Kiss" at the age of 14. β
β......β
David looked at Charlotte with a ghostly look, which made the latter touch his face,
"What, am I wrong?"
"Nope!"
David quickly shook his head,
"You're so right! I'm just curious -- you probably haven't experienced so many girls as a famous good man in Hollywood, have you? How can you be so good at it?"
"Because Charlize is of mixed French and German descent!"
Charlotte smirked,
"When needed, she also has a strong French femininity!"
β...... Well, I don't want to know exactly when it is, and I don't want to hear you guy show his wife here!"
David interrupted Charlotte's words in a bad way,
"In short, I looked at thousands of girls who signed up with the casting director, but none of them gave me the feeling of Fleur Delacour. β
"To be honest, I think it may be because Rowling set Fleur to be too beautiful - especially, according to her setting, that beauty is caused by Meiwa's bloodline, with a fantasy color, how can we find such a girl in reality!"
"This is the case when adapting a fantasy work!"
Charlotte shrugged,
"When I accompanied Peter Jackson to cast Arvin Twilight, I also encountered this situation - after all, it is the most beautiful elf!
"But you've finally found Liv Taylor!"
David thinks that Charlotte is still showing off at all,
"Although that girl's acting skills can also play a vase, she can be said to be the most beautiful among the existing vases in Hollywood - especially when you gave her a soft light bonus in the movie. β
"You can do that, too!"
"Then we have to find the right person first!"
David scratched his hair,
"I sometimes wish Sophie Marceau was 20 years younger, or your wife 10 years younger!"
β...... Even then, the two of them don't have British citizenship!"
"What the hell British nationality does you care about at this time!!"
David was completely mad,
"At the end of the day, that's not up to us β if it's really suitable, it's not a big deal to apply for British citizenship now!"
β...... You cow!"
For David Heyman, who is guilty of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Charlotte can't say much,
"Then let's talk about another girl, Akihari!"
β......β
David didn't speak, just made a gesture of please.
"The Chinese ancestry in Qiu Zhang's character setting makes you want to find a girl with a Chinese style to come out - but there is a problem that many of us know but turn a blind eye to. β
"What's the problem?"
"The image of Chinese beauty in the traditional perception of Europe and the United States, the Chinese do not agree - they even think it is ugly!"
"yes!"
David smiled bitterly,
"In fact, senior Hollywood people like us naturally know that the oriental aesthetic is different from us - after all, we often have to pay attention to Hong Kong movies - but the problem is that the audience does not know, so we can only follow their habits before to use those girls who are not beautiful in the eyes of Chinese to play oriental beauties, just like Lucy Liu in "Thunderbolt Baby"!"
"yes!"
As Charlotte, who lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean before the crossing, this was naturally clearer - he looked at David,
"And David, the reason why you are bothered is because you want to choose a beautiful girl who can meet the aesthetics of both the East and the West, with Chinese style, right?"
"yes!"
David looked at Charlotte,
"You're such a monsterββ who made the Chinese film market grow rapidly even though it's not big at the moment? There are several more in the Harry Potter series, and we need to prepare for the future. β
"And then you got stuck in the preparation?"
"yes!"
David said angrily,
"Since you can guess all the questions without me saying it, is there anything you can do?"
