Chapter 361： Miss Know-it-all

"Charlotte, are you ready, we are a bit late."

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, a ten-year-old brown-haired little girl jumped out of a chair, put a schoolbag on her back, walked towards the door, and replied, "Mom, here comes."

In the creaking sound, the door opened, and the little girl took her mother's sleeve and walked out of the house, "Mom, where are we going to sign up? Trafalgar Square?"

"Yes, dear."

Walking to the garage, the middle-aged woman opened the car door, "Are you sure you want to participate in the audition? Although I don't want to hit you, my dear, you don't have any professional performance experience..."

"Ryan said, experience is not important at all!" The little girl fastened her seat belt and urged, "Hurry up, mother."

Passing through the old streets of London, the car parked in the parking lot near the square. When the mother and daughter walked to the registration point set up in Trafalgar Square, they discovered that this place had long become a sea of ​​children and parents. There were hundreds of people in the queue at the registration point of the audition, and they had already lined up from the art gallery to the square.

"Oh, God, we are still late." The little girl couldn't help but complain, "Mom, why don't you drive faster?"

"Well, my dear, stop complaining. If you want to sign up, go to the queue." The middle-aged woman reminded.

Only then did the little girl realize that although the registration team is very long, there are still people joining it. If you don't hurry up, you might not have your turn today.

She quickly picked up her mother and lined up at the back of the line.

The line was so long that I couldn’t see my head at a glance. The little girl stared wide and looked around curiously. She soon discovered that there were more than a dozen reporters around, and occasionally interviews these peers who were waiting to sign up. people.

Ryan. And what kind of influence Harry Potter has among his peers. The little girls know very well that they are all people who grew up reading his stories. Every boy once imagined that he was Harry Potter, every Girls also think of themselves as Hermione Granger in their dreams.

And her goal is naturally Miss Know-it-all.

Although she is very confident in herself, after seeing the long registration team, she can't help playing the snare drum. After all, she doesn't have any professional performance experience, and her dream is like what Ryan said. Will it be reflected in reality?

"Hey, this beautiful lady and lovely lady, can you accept our interview?"

Perhaps the little girl's big eyes were exceptionally bright, attracting the attention of reporters. A reporter with a microphone brought the cameraman to the front of the mother and daughter.

The middle-aged woman thought for a while, and when she saw her daughter's confident and fearless appearance, she nodded gently.

"Thank you!"

The reporter's goal is naturally the little girl waiting to sign up, and he asked in a kind tone as much as possible. "May I know your name? Kid?"

"Emma."

The freckles on the little girl's face were shining with confidence in the rare sunshine of London, "Emma Charlotte Watson."

"Miss Emma. Which school do you study now?"

As soon as the reporter's words fell, the little girl frowned, and seemed to be chattering about the reporter, "Dragon School."

"Why do you want to participate in the actor audition of the Harry Potter movie?" The reporter quickly turned back to the topic.

"Mr. reporter. You should be an intern reporter? How old are you?" The little girl is like a little adult.

"Uh..." The reporter was a little embarrassed, because he was indeed a trainee reporter, "25 years old."

"When Harry Potter first became popular ten years ago. Do you like to watch it?"

"Of course." The reporter nodded subconsciously.

"Then do you like Harry Potter or not, have you ever thought of becoming Harry Potter?" The little girl had her hands behind her back, and a joke flashed through her big eyes.

"Of course." The reporter still nodded.

"So..." The little girl opened her hand and made a natural gesture.

The reporter only discovered that the little girl was allowed to take the dominance of the speech, her mouth trembled, and she quickly changed the subject, "Then, Miss Emma, ​​if it is possible, which role do you most want to get?"

"Miss know-it-all, Hermione Granger." The little girl seemed to have regained her confidence, with the posture that this role was none other than me.

"Well, good luck to you."

When the reporter turned away, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Are the little girls so difficult now?

The team kept moving forward, probably just because of signing up. The speed was faster than Emma had imagined, and it was finally her turn.

This is not only the registration, but also the first selection. The process is very, very simple. Let these children of the right age make a short self-introduction.

"My name is Emma Charlotte Durge Watson. I was born on April 15, 1990. I am currently studying at the Dragon School in Oxfordshire. I have studied singing, dancing and acting at the Stagecoach Theatre Arts School. The stage experience was to participate in a poetry recitation contest in school."

Different from the stumbling of the children before, the little girl seemed very confident despite her inner tension, and she spoke very fluently.

In fact, these children who signed up did not know that self-introduction was the beginning of selection.

There is no doubt that the audition for young actors has become the most eye-catching thing in the UK. The registration points in major cities are overcrowded every day. In just one week, the number of applicants is as many as tens of thousands. The crew is facing a huge workload.

In addition to child actors, a large number of adult actors are used in the film. Several associate directors who are responsible for casting frequently visit the homes of several large UK agencies and famous actors, including Alan Rickman and Emma? Famous British actors such as Thompson and Maggie Smith have spoken publicly, hoping to appear in this series of movies.

A few days later, "The Times" revealed another piece of news, which made Harry Potter's popularity rise again.

Richard Harris, a well-known British veteran actor, worried that after the movie was released, everyone would only call himself "Grandpa Dumbledore", and thus rejected Albus Dumbledore’s actor invitation. Who knew his granddaughter A big fan of the Harry Potter series, she threatened her grandpa not to play the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and never talk to him again.

Thus, Richard Harris became the first officially confirmed actor on the crew.

Although staying in London for the time being, Ryan no longer cares about the specific work of the crew. Hollywood has developed for so many years and has formed a mature system long ago. The staff involved in the crew are almost all veterans in the industry.

The swordsmanship instructor he hired is also in place at this time, because soon, he will star in "Lord of the Rings" and "Gladiator".

What Ryan needs to learn is not aristocratic fencing, nor is it the swordsmanship from the East that can be compared to dance, but the western style of fighting swordsmanship that shows more power.

Although Kung Fu is popular in Hollywood, these two purely Western films can only be reduced to jokes if they add oriental elements.

After the release of "Remains of a Deserted Island", Ryan's mature performance in the role of Chuck completely dispelled Peter Jackson's doubts. The New Zealand fat man gave up his plan to trade time for transfer and happily agreed to Ryan's role in Aragon. Requirements.

Of course, if Ryan uses the authority of the investor and producer to forcefully suppress Peter Jackson, it will not be difficult, but it will not be good for anyone to make such an issue, and Chuck’s role is an excellent solution. The differences that existed between the two parties.

In fact, for the Hollywood film industry, where various technologies are becoming more and more developed, the appearance of actors is just a trivial problem, and makeup can almost be solved easily.

In the dedicated fitness room of the Hilton Hotel, Ryan is holding a custom-made epee. Under the guidance of the coach, he is practicing chopping and blocking and other moves. Years of exercise have made him never lack of strength and weight. A sword that is not light, the tiger danced by him is full of wind.

"...The first heavy hack and slash, and rarely use straight stabs..." The swordsmanship instructor would also talk about some essentials by his side during the occasional break.

Maybe you can pull him to be Aragon's stand-in?

This is Ryan's idea, even if he plays no matter how beautiful he is, he is not a professional after all. Some action shots in "Lord of the Rings" definitely need special effects as stand-ins.

After training, which lasted for forty minutes, Ryan handed the four-foot-long epee to George. Although he was crying hungry at this time, he could not go out for a full meal immediately. He had to follow the diet formulated by the nutritionist. Strictly limit your calorie intake.

No way, "The Pianist" is about to start, even after the filming of "Remains of a Deserted Island", his figure is thin enough, but he still can't meet the requirements of Roman Polanski.

Regardless of the character of the Polish director only in terms of film performance, he is exceptionally serious and responsible. Even if Ryan is an investor and producer, he must be an actor and performer. Comply with his request.

Ryan has no opinion on this, because this is the most basic professionalism of an actor.

Moreover, he has appeared in "Schindler's List" and has enough knowledge of that period of history. Based on the situation at the time, the word skinny is probably the most appropriate description of Mr. Spearman.

After Ryan automatically lowered the remuneration, the film’s budget was only 35 million U.S. dollars. After the initial funds were in place, Roman Polanski had summoned people to Warsaw and was undergoing intensive preparatory work.

The protests that happened on the head of the crew of "Schindler's List" have not happened to him yet. In any case, he can be regarded as the most representative figure in Polish film art, with Spielbo Grid does not have the home field advantage.

Ryan also maintains close contact with Polanski, constantly exchanging views on the characters and plot style of the film, so that Roman Polanski discovered that this guy who has always been active in the field of commercial films seems to be extremely unique in art films. opinion.
