London.

A hotel.

7 p.m.

Zhuke, Bill McNick and a group of 15 people enjoyed a sumptuous dinner under the entertainment of Cindy, the director of the variety show department of ITV TV.

Dinner is mainly French and Turkish. As for local British dishes, haha. The dark British cuisine is world-famous and is not ordinary unpalatable.

"Cindy, I'll trouble you this time, please trouble you ITV TV station." Zhuke picked up the wine glass and toasted Cindy with a glass of wine.

“Not a problem.”

After drinking the wine in the glass, Cindy waved her hand and smiled: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was written by Ms. Rowling, a British man. Although the book was first published in the United States, it is not very popular in the British Isles at present. It is said that even the royal family loves to watch Harry Potter. Moreover, our ITV assists you Wald Pictures to host the casting work of "Harry Potter", which also has many benefits for the overall brand operation of our ITV."

Zucker nodded.

Itv assisted Wald Pictures in hosting casting work, which is indeed a win-win event.

"Oh, by the way, this is the plan my team has polished recently. Take a look and see if there is any conflict with you?" Cindy pulled out a stack of planning books from her briefcase.

However, Zucker passed it to the old Bill next to him without even looking at it.

"Old guy, don't just eat, don't forget that you are the president of Wald Pictures." Zhuke poked Old Bill next to him with his arm.

Suddenly, Old Bill said angrily: "Don't worry, I, are you still worried?"

really!

Old Bill's decades of work experience can make him easily complete the casting work.

.........

The next morning.

Zhu Ke led a team to the ITV TV headquarters.

He held a meeting with the TV executives and did his last communication on the casting of "Harry Potter". After all, before Zhuke and others arrived in London, Bill, the senior executives of ITV, maintained a long-term contact.

afternoon...

Itv TV's variety show channel, TV series channel 1, TV series channel 2, movie channel 1, movie channel 2, shopping channel, children's channel, international channel...

Since the afternoon, ITV TV has released news of the casting of "Harry Potter" on different stages and programs at different times.

In just half a day, the news ignited the entire British islands!

The Sun immediately posted: "Harry Potter was born in the UK and the actors were also selected in the UK. I have to say that Mr. Wald did a pretty job!"

The Mirror follows: "The opportunity for the young actors is here! Who will be lucky enough to be the Hogwarts Iron Triangle? Let's wait and see!"

"Ut Weekly" published an article saying: "As of early March, the book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has sold as many as 980,000 copies in the UK, second only to the 1.25 million copies in North America. The total population of the British Isles is far inferior to that in North America. This makes us sigh at the charm of "Harry Potter". Now that the movie is about to be cast, this is undoubtedly a grand event."

Many media in the British Isles published articles in the morning newspaper early the next morning.

Many people who bought newspapers were also very excited, especially Harry Potter's book fans.

"marvelous!"

"I'm going to cast!"

"William, come on. You are 13 years old this year. Have you not seen the casting age requirement in the newspaper? The age must be between 8 and 12 years old. No one who has passed the age group has the opportunity to participate in the main role."

“oh~no~~!”

.........

Oxfordshire, England.

A 9-year-old girl jumped up excitedly after seeing the news of casting on TV.

"Really fake?"

"Oh my god!"

"Harry Potter is about to start filming, and the main actors in the play are actually going to choose from the British Isles. This is a chance to become famous overnight!"

Don't doubt it.

Girls in the British Isles often mature earlier than boys, especially those who are interested in developing into film and television. They become graphic models early on, and it is common for them to hang out in various crews, and they are a real world.

"Emma Watson, believe in yourself, you can do it!" The little girl cheered up secretly.

In fact, Little Emma's parents stared at the news.

"Emma, ​​the opportunity to get rich is here." Little Emma's parents were extremely excited.

In Western countries, it is very common for parents to treat their children as cash machines and arrange their work early.

.........

Dunlund, UK.

Daniel Radcliffe, who is only 10 years old, saw his agent and parents coming to his side after he finished the TV series "David Copperfield".

The father said solemnly: "Child, have you always wanted to become famous? Look, the opportunity has come."

Mother: "Yes, our Daniel is so cute and so handsome, and he will definitely be able to join the crew of "Harry Potter"."

The agent echoed: "I have a friendship with the ITV executives. I have obtained a ticket to the casting of "Harry Potter". Daniel, you must be successful!"

Daniel Radcliffe, who is only 10 years old, is a little confused at this moment.

However, he was still young and had no choice but to respond like a puppet.

.........

Five days!

After the self-casting news was reported, in just 5 days, more than 63oo children aged 8 to 12 in the entire British Isles signed up for the election accompanied by their parents.

"Hahaha, Juke, what's going on? You have to thank us ITV Broadcasting Corporation." Cindy asked for help.

Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Indeed, without the participation of your ITV, the publicity effect would definitely not be so good. Of course, I also want to congratulate you, your ITV's stock price has soared a lot recently."

“Haha, each other.”

Cindy and Itv assisted Wald Pictures in hosting casting, which is not a free service.

Now, the rise in stock prices is a positive aspect.

"Thank you, Mr. Wald!"

Ms. Rowling, the author of "Harry Potter", who was sitting on the sofa, also stood up to express her gratitude to Zucker.

Why?

When the project was established for the film and television adaptation of "Harry Potter", Ms. Rowling told Zhuke that she hoped that the main actors of the series of film and television dramas could be selected from the British Isles, and for this reason she was willing to take the initiative to reduce the share of the books in the series.

Reduce share?

Of course, Zucker agreed immediately.

There are indeed many good actors in the British Isles. Haven’t you seen British actors who have appeared frequently in various front-line productions in Hollywood?

Gandalf, Ian McClain, the actor of Magneto;

Fei Wen, the heroine of "Titanic";

The hardest man, Jason Statham;

Batman, the actor Bell;

.........

It is no exaggeration to say that British actors occupy a considerable share of Hollywood resources.

Zhuke selected the main actors of "Harry Potter" in the UK, both to consider Rowling's ideas, and more importantly to the British market.

The British film market is an important area for Zucker to expand overseas distribution channels and plays a bridgehead.

On the same day, Wald Pictures, the director selected by the film "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", arrived in London.

The second update of "" is sent, and the minister continues to open the third update.
Chapter completed!
