"I'm going to put the preparation of 'The Mummy' in England as well!"

After some discussion with Sean Daniel, Charlotte finally made this decision.

As a representative of the global side, Sean Daniel also agreed.

On the one hand, because of the project "The Mummy", Charlotte is the first producer, and as long as his decision is not too excessive, Sean Daniel can only raise his hand in favor.

On the other hand, it's because it makes a lot of sense to do that.

First of all, Charlotte is currently filming "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the United Kingdom, and the preparation of "The Mummy" is also carried out in the United Kingdom, which is conducive to the director and Mr. Nearby.

Secondly, according to the script, it is indeed more convenient to prepare in the UK.

No way, who let the story take place in Egypt between World War I and World War II?

At that time, the British Empire had not yet sunset, and the Suez Canal was still under the control of the British.

In this kind of story background, the hero and heroine and many supporting roles are naturally suitable for the British.

That doesn't mean you have to use all of the Brits, but you do have to use some of them.

What's more, no matter how strong Hollywood filmmakers are, the pyramids of Egypt are historical relics after all, and they can't go in and shoot them directly.

- This is the same as the fact that many Chinese costume films have imperial palaces, but few films are really filmed in the Forbidden City.

In short, the crew of "The Mummy" needed to find a desert as a location for the location.

And since Star Wars, when Hollywood films need to use deserts as locations, the first choice has always been the Moroccan and Tunisian deserts in North Africa.

The crew of "The Mummy" naturally planned to do so.

In this way, considering the problems of human resources, language and distance, it is a very reasonable choice to put the base camp or studio for the preparation of the film in the UK.

In fact, just before Charlotte spoke, Sean Daniel was pondering a similar idea.

Now, now that Charlotte has spoken, he will naturally push the boat with the water.

"Speaking of which, Sean, do you have any requirements for the choice of the hero and heroine?"

After talking about the preparation location and location, Charlotte focused on the actors again.

- Although Charlotte is the first producer of this movie, he can't ignore Universal, the largest investor and distributor.

- Although Charlotte is not prepared to listen to the other party's words unless they are really right.

But listen, it's okay to be pretentious!

And as a representative of the world, Sean Daniel is also very knowledgeable,

"Charlotte, this movie is subject to your will, and there are no requirements from the Universal side. ”

"Or rather, our only request is one word - money!"

Sean Daniel was guilty in his heart, but his face was full of sincerity.

- Even if you are not an actor, everyone is mixed with Hollywood after all, and this basic acting skills are still there.

And Charlotte also understands the subtext of the other party's words, but this kind of thing is not easy to say after all.

He directly stated his plan,

"Then let's use an American male lead and a British female lead – which fits the story and pleases the North American audience. ”

"That's a good idea!"

Sean Daniel nodded,

"Do you have a suitable candidate for the role?"

"For the female lead, I'm going to use a British actress named Rachel Weisz, and as for the male lead, Brandon Fisher in "Tarzan of the Forest" released last year, do you think it's okay?"

"Rachel Weisz and Brand Fisher?"

Sean Daniel glanced at Charlotte in surprise,

"Aren't very famous actors!"

"Generally, in order to save costs and strengthen post-production, this kind of action-adventure movie will not use particularly famous actors, right?

"You're right!"

Sean Daniel agrees.

In fact, these two candidates themselves are the heroes and heroines of the movie "The Mummy" in Charlotte's original world.

However, Charlotte will choose them, but not just to restore the original movie.

What's more, these two people did ask him for roles through various relationships-

Rachel Weisz asked Charlotte through a group of British actors from the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

In fact, the casting of the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" movie, Rachel Weisz also participated.

But born in 1970, the current age is more embarrassing-

If she plays a student, she is already too big;

can play the role of a professor, and her age is not enough;

In this case, she was naturally eliminated.

But her appearance, acting skills and literary accomplishment have been recognized by many casting members, including Lao Gun.

- After all, this lady graduated from Cambridge.

In the British and American entertainment industry, her education is the highest, on par with Jodie Foster, who graduated from Harvard.

However, the strange thing is that Rachel Weisz, although she has a good temperament, does not have that shrewd and outward feeling.

This is different from Jodie Foster, who also majored in literature, and later Natalie Portman, who also focused on the character of a scholar, and even Emma Watson in the future......

In short, Lao Gun and others are very optimistic about Rachel Weisz.

Therefore, under the recommendation of a group of British actors in the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Charlotte, who had already taken over the "Mummy" project, also pushed the boat.

- Anyway, in "The Mummy" in the original time and space, Rachel Weisz is the heroine!

As for the actor Brandon Fisher, it's even simpler -

Charlotte has a good memory, and he still remembers this guy who came to play tricks when he was filming "Fatal Corner".

He recognized each other at the time, and joked with them about kung fu action movies and gunfight action movies.

Now, when he is going to shoot "The Mummy", he will naturally not forget this original actor.

After all, according to Charlotte's memories before the time crossing, Brandon Fisher's performance in "The Mummy" was still very good.

What's more, like Charlotte, Brandon Fisher has a good memory-

Since Charlotte was promoted to Hollywood's A-list director through "Guillotine Valley", Brandon Fisher often asked Charlotte for roles through the members of the "Fatal Bend" crew at that time.

- Unlike Charlotte, Brandon Fisher's development in Hollywood has not been too smooth, and it was only last year that he played a major role in "Tarzan of the Forest".

In this case, a director he knew in his early years has been promoted to the first line, and Brandon Fisher will naturally find ways to hug Charlotte's thighs.

With the current situation, Charlotte believes that the other party should be very obedient under her own hands.

Then, according to the version of the original time and space, there is no problem in using the other party as the male protagonist of the "Mummy" movie.
