Chapter 422: Wand

Regardless of whether the original author Rowling has any new plans, the final casting of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is still going on in an orderly manner.

As time went on, though, Charlotte also became more and more irritable.

"It's so troublesome!"

After looking at the photos for a long time, Charlotte finally couldn't help it,

"Who knows if they'll be disabled in the future!!"

For this, the old gun and Alexis on the side are helpless-

Being disabled is the biggest nightmare for child stars.

It can be said that countless child stars who were smash hits in their teenage years have fallen on this hurdle.

And for the "Harry Potter" series, this is even more of a big trouble -

Because these little actors have to play seven or eight films!

Such a long time is enough for a delicate young man to grow into a rough man.

Thinking about the number of times Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, who grew up in her original world, were complained about, Charlotte felt that it should be very important to choose young actors who would not grow disabled this time.

However, none of the spells Charlotte mastered was called "Three Years Old to Look Old......

"It's really not good, so don't think about it later!"

In the end, even the original author Rowling couldn't stand it.

- She also looked at a lot of photos, and she almost vomited,

"After all, unlike the wand in my book, which chooses its own owner, the character can't help us choose the actor—"

"Wait!"

As soon as she was reminded by Rowling's words, Charlotte's mind suddenly flashed,

"Does the wand choose its owner?"

He had a good idea......

"That's what you call a good idea!?"

Looking at Charlotte, who was busy, the old gun looked confused.

Mr. Redbeard's assistant director is now a little skeptical, is his young partner mentally retarded?

That's right, that's what Charlotte is doing right now -

Staff-making!!

"Are you sure that the wands you've made can really choose their own owners, as Rowling says in Rowling!?"

Although Charlotte had cast many spells in front of the old gun so far, the old gun still felt a little unreal.

Especially this time, Charlotte actually said that he could make a wand to help them choose actors, which made the old gun even more incredulous.

"If you can choose actors with a stick, what else do you need to cast a director for!?"

Mr. Assistant Director muttered.

There's no way, the previous casting work has always been in charge of the old gun.

He had toiled for months to select a few hundred decent seedlings for the second selection, and now Charlotte said that he could use his wand to choose the actors—which made the old gun feel like his previous hard work had been wasted.

Charlotte also saw the old gun's emotions, and he explained,

"It's possible to make a wand to choose actors, but only in the Harry Potter film series. ”

"This is because Rowling's original book has such a setting, so you can take advantage of the reader's desire and fantasy?"

It was Charlize on the side who asked this.

She had studied the theory of spells with Charlotte and had a good understanding of this aspect of the problem.

Charlotte nodded,

"It's understandable, albeit a little simpler. ”

"In fact, because of the previous broadcast of the TV animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", this work has gathered a small amount of magic, and the imagination of the readers of the original book also has a small amount of magic power, and these wands can have the ability to automatically choose their owners, which is the result of these magic powers. ”

"But will this choice be accurate?"

The old gun was a little worried.

To be honest, although he felt that Charlotte's various spells were magical, it was a little difficult for him to fully believe in these strange things.

Charlotte also understood the old gun's thoughts, and he said with a smile,

"The selection of the wand will be closer to the eyes of the general public fans - in fact, it is not impossible for you to think that the fans are choosing the leading actors. ”

"Why?"

The old gun didn't understand.

"Because the magic of the wand comes from the imagination of the anime fans. ”

Charlotte explains,

"Although Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone can't quickly gather the power of the audience's fear like the previous films we have filmed, according to my recent research, in fact, other types of works are not incapable of generating magic, but the amount is relatively small. And the source is people's imagination. ”

"In other words, because the magic power you give to your wand comes from the imagination of readers and anime viewers, will you naturally choose the little actor who best matches their imagination?"

The old gun still didn't quite understand, but Charlize on the side understood, she asked,

"However, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and if you directly borrow people's imagination to choose actors, will you not be able to choose them in the end?"

"It's possible!"

Charlotte nodded,

"However, I have other magic attached to my wand to deal with unexpected situations. ”

"Other magic!?"

"For example, I'm going to give more weight to Joanna Rowling and my own imagination, and if the wand can't really pick the right actors, we can choose ourselves. ”

"Isn't that the same as now!?"

The old gun complained.

"It's not quite the same!"

Charlotte shook her head,

"The way we choose now is to rely on the conscious to think, and to choose by the wand, relying on the subconscious—"

"For example, when we pick out a child to play Harry Potter, we think about all kinds of reasons and think it's suitable, and with a wand, it's very simple, that is, to use our subconscious to judge whether this child is Harry Potter or not?"

"Can you do this!?"

Some of the old guns who understood were really dumbfounded at this moment.

Having been a casting director for many years, he knows that for many emotional matters, people's subconscious judgments, or first impressions, are often the most correct.

However, in view of people's thinking patterns, this correct judgment is often influenced by consciousness, and people do not even notice what their first impression is.

And now, Charlotte's magic or wand can extract the initial judgment of people's subconscious!?

Although the old gun felt a little fantastical, he couldn't help but believe it.

"If you do that, maybe the selection will be really good!"

Mr. Assistant Director, who has recently been overwhelmed by the casting problem, rejoices,

"Especially, according to you, it's the equivalent of picking with anime fans, which still means-"

"The actors selected will fit the imagination of the fans to the greatest extent. ”

Seeing that the old gun finally understood, Charlotte smiled and said,

"Moreover, in order to maximize the power of the wand we make, we have to make special choices regardless of the selection method or the selection time!"

"Special choice!?"

The old gun was stunned.

Charlotte is rightfully authentic,

"I chose the time, in order to match the imagination of the fans as much as possible, I could choose to broadcast the animated version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which is now almost the end of the first season. As for the selection method—"

Mr. Director smiled slightly,

"Ms. Rowling's book provides us with a very appropriate method—"
