Chapter 439: The Secret of the Mummy

Although he didn't particularly like the character of Draco Malfoy - a villain after all - Tom Felton cherished the opportunity.

During this time, with the help of his parents, he read "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" several times to understand Draco Malfoy's psychology.

Occasionally, he dreamed that he was taking the form of Draco Malfoy, attending school in what looked like a Hogwarts castle.

Although he couldn't remember the contents of the dream several times after waking up, his understanding of Malfoy's psychology deepened a lot.

"In a way, could it be assumed that Malfoy was jealous of Harry Potter?"

Once, when he went to attend a regular acting training class for the young actors, Tom also consulted with his instructor, Alan Rickman, whether his understanding was correct.

Then, he was praised.

- By the way, it is said that this Mr. Alan Rickman will also play a role in the movie.

In fact, according to Mr. Arsenal, the bearded assistant director in charge of casting, all the teachers who came to give acting lessons to these young actors would play roles in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

But who plays whom, he said that he didn't tell everyone anything.

"Isn't it fun for you to guess for yourself? Young people should be curious!"

As soon as he said this, a group of young actors speculated.

Tom Felton is naturally no exception.

In fact, because of his family relationship, he knows more or less the roles played by several people, but the rest can only be guessed.

- Unlike the public and very lively casting of children, the casting of adult characters, the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" adheres to the principle of low-key.

- Although it can't be said that it is a blockade, they have basically not disclosed the specific players who will play those important roles.

"These mysterious guys!"

Although he scoffed at this behavior, Tom unknowingly had some fun attending a strange school......

However, as the saying goes, one person's happiness is often built on the pain of others.

Although Charlotte is not in pain, it is indeed becoming more and more difficult for him and Charlize to support the Hogwarts of the dream.

Tired is not tired, after all, the speed of time in the dream is different from reality, and after they end the dream, they still have a long time to sleep and rest.

The main trouble is that if he and Charlize play too many roles, there will be similarities.

- Even if they both have good acting skills, they can't achieve a thousand faces in the real sense.

But in this way, there will be mistakes in the play of some roles.

And in order to reduce this mistake, Charlotte decided to bring in another person to help-

That is, Jodie Foster, whom Charlize talked to him about before.

For this reason, he also flew back to the United States to try to persuade Miss Actress, who may have left a psychological shadow because of the previous ghost incident.

Unexpectedly-

"Okay!"

As soon as he said what he wanted, Jodie Foster agreed.

“......”

This made all the persuasive routines that Charlotte had prepared useless.

And Jodie Foster asked with curiosity on her face,

"So, what am I going to do to get into the 'Hogwarts of dreams' you are talking about, and will I sleep with you and Charlize?"

“......”

"I mean time!"

Seeing Charlotte's demented expression, Miss Actress hurriedly added,

"If you want to enter the same dream, at least the sleep time should be the same, right?"

"There is no need to be completely unified, after all, there is a time difference between Britain and the United States. ”

Charlotte coughed,

"We just need to sleep for a small amount of time. ”

"That should be a lot easier. ”

Judy nodded,

"If I can't catch up with the night because of the time difference, I can still take a nap during the day - anyway, I haven't taken any new plays recently, and the time is relatively free - how can I not participate in such an interesting event!?"

“...... All right. ”

Since the other party was willing, Charlotte didn't say anything.

He casually helped Jodie Foster make a pendant to guide her into the dream world when needed, and then planned to leave.

But I don't want to be stopped by Jodie Foster again-

"Charlotte, I have a new project here, I wonder if you're interested?"

"New project!?"

"Have you ever heard of Stephen Sommers? a director, he made "Extreme Cold" released some time ago - although the box office was very dismal. ”

"This man......"

Charlotte nodded.

Charlotte, who came from later generations, still knew the name Stephen Sommers.

However, not because of Jodie Foster's "Extreme Cold", but because of another more well-known film series - "The Mummy"!

Although "The New Mummy", which was released before Charlotte Crossing and starred Tom Cruise, was terrible, it was a typical failure of the trailer with all the best shots in the trailer.

But this does not mean that the old version of the "Mummy" series was a bad movie.

In fact, in Hollywood, none of the movies that can be remade a second or even third time are bad movies at the beginning.

- Otherwise, no one would be bored to make a remake.

In Charlotte's original time and space, "The Mummy" released in 1999 was a smash hit, and its director and screenwriter was none other than Stephen Sommers.

And now, Jodie Foster mentions Stephen Sommers' name for what?

"After the box office failure of "Extreme Cold", Stephen Sommers made a comeback in Universal Pictures' script library and found a dusty script about Egyptian mummies. ”

Judy explained,

He wanted to adapt it and make an Egyptian adventure film with fantasy elements. ”

- This should be "The Mummy"!

Charlotte nodded.

- He still didn't quite understand what this matter had to do with him.

"Did Sommos come to your production company to get investment?"

Charlotte asked,

"Or does he want you to play the heroine?"

"Neither!"

Judy shook her head,

"Although my box office appeal has also increased a lot because of the "Hell Detective" I filmed with you before, you know, as a double actress, I am actually quite expensive, so I ......"

The actress shrugged her shoulders,

"Actually, Stephen Sommers didn't do anything - because his plan was vetoed by the Universal!"

"Vetoed by Universal!?"

"Yes. ”

Jodie Foster explains,

"The old script he turned over, after all, is something from the Universal script library, and if it doesn't pass through Universal, eighty percent of them will be sued for infringement in the end. What's more, Universal Pictures was also the best company in Hollywood at making ghost movies, and since Stephen Sommers wanted to make a movie about mummies, it was naturally the most suitable to find Universal to work with. ”

"Then why did the Globe veto this plan?"

"That's something to do with you!"

Jodie Foster wrinkled her nose and smiled a little slyly.
