London.

a hotel.

7pm.

Zucker, Bill McNick and other 15 people enjoyed a sumptuous dinner under the reception of Cindy, director of the variety show department of ITV.

Dinner is dominated by French and Turkish dishes, as for local British dishes, hehe. British dark dishes, which are world-famous, are not unpalatable.

"Cindy, this time I'll trouble you and ITV." Zucker raised his glass and toasted Cindy.

"No trouble."

After Cindy drank the wine in the glass, she waved her hand and said with a smile: "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was written by our British Lady Rowling. Although the book was first published in the United States, it is now available in the British Isles. It's not an ordinary hit. It is said that many people in the royal family love to watch Harry Potter. Moreover, our ITV assists you in the casting of "Harry Potter" by Wald Pictures, which is very important to our overall brand of ITV. There are also many benefits to the operation.”

Zucker nodded.

ITV's assistance with the casting for Wald Pictures was a win-win indeed.

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

However, without even looking at it, Zucker passed it on to the old Bill on the side.

"Old guy, don't patronize and eat, don't forget that you are the president of Wald Pictures." Zucker poked Old Bill beside 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 make it easy for him to complete the casting job.

......

the next morning.

Zhu Ke led the team and arrived at the headquarters of ITV.

with the TV executives,

A meeting was held for the final communication on casting for Harry Potter. After all, before Zucker and others arrived in London, Bill Sr. had maintained long-term contact with the ITV executives.

afternoon...

ITV TV's variety channel, TV channel 1, TV channel 2, movie channel 1, movie channel 2, shopping channel, children's channel, international channel...

Since the afternoon, as many as 17 channels of ITV have released the news of the casting of "Harry Potter" in different time periods and different programs.

In just half a day, the news detonated the entire British Isles!

"The Sun" published an article for the first time: ""Harry Potter" was born in the United Kingdom, and the actor selection is also in the United Kingdom. I have to say that Mr. Wald did a good job!"

The Mirror followed suit: "The young actors have their chance! Who will be lucky enough to be part of the Hogwarts Triangle? Let's wait and see!"

"Ut Weekly" issued an article saying: "As of the beginning of March, the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has sold as many as 980,000 copies in the UK, second only to 1.25 million copies in North America, and three in the UK. The total population of the island is far less than that of North America, which has to make us sigh the charm of "Harry Potter", and now the film is about to be cast, which is undoubtedly a grand event."

Many media in the British Isles published articles one after another in the morning newspaper the next morning.

And many people who bought newspapers were also very excited, especially fans of "Harry Potter".

"awesome!"

"I'm going to the casting!"

"William, come on. You are 13 years old this year. Didn't you see the age requirement for casting roles in the newspaper? The age must be between 8 and 12 years old. People who are over the age group have no chance to participate in the main role. "

"oh~no~~!"

......

Oxfordshire, England.

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

"real or fake?!"

"Oh my God!"

"The filming of "Harry Potter" is about to start, and the main actors in the play have to be chosen from the British Isles. This is an opportunity to become famous overnight!"

do not doubt.

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

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

In fact, little Emma's parents stared at the news when they saw the news.

"Emma, ​​the opportunity to make a fortune is here." Little Emma's parents were extremely excited.

In Western countries, it is not uncommon for parents to use their children as cash machines and arrange their jobs early.

......

London, England.

Daniel Radcliffe, who was only 10 years old, saw his agent and parents come to his side after starring in the TV series "David Copperfield".

The father said solemnly: "Child, haven't you always wanted to be famous? Look, the opportunity has come."

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

The agent echoed: "I have a relationship with the executives of ITV, and I have already obtained your admission ticket for the casting of "Harry Potter". Daniel, you must strive for success!"

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

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

......

Five days!

After the news of the self-selected corner was reported, just 5 days later, as many as 6,300 children aged 8 to 12 in the entire British Isles, accompanied by their parents, signed up for the election.

"Hahaha, Zucker, how is it? You have to thank our ITV broadcaster." Cindy asked for the credit.

Zu Ke smiled and said: "Indeed, without the participation of your ITV, the publicity effect will never be so good. Of course, I also want to congratulate you. Recently, the stock price of your ITV has soared a lot."

"Haha, each other."

Cindy and ITV helped Wald Pictures with casting, but not pro bono.

No, the rising stock price is a positive aspect.

"Mr. Wald, thank you!"

At this time, Ms. Rowling, the author of "Harry Potter", who was sitting on the sofa, also got up and thanked Zucker.

Why?

When Ms. Rowling set up the "Harry Potter" film and television adaptation project, she expressed to Zucker that she hoped that the main actors of this series of film and television dramas could be selected from the British Isles, for which she was willing to take the initiative to reduce the share of the series of books.

Lower your share?

Of course Zucker agreed.

There are indeed many good actors in the British Isles. Haven't you seen the British actors who frequently appear in various first-line productions in Hollywood?

Gandalf, Magneto played by Ian McLean;

Fei Wen, the heroine of "Titanic";

Hardest Man Jason Statham;

"Batman" actor Bell;

......

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

Zucker chose the main actors of "Harry Potter" and arranged them in the United Kingdom, not only to consider Rowling's ideas, but also for those excellent actors, and more importantly, for the British market.

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

That same day, Chris Columbus, the director chosen by Wald Pictures for the Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone films, arrived in London.

The second update of "" was sent, and the minister continued to open the third update.
