Rebirth In Hollywood

Regarding the promotion of "The Rest of a Deserted Island", Ryan is far less active than he was when "Titanic". After the film was released, he only went to the largest cities in North America before leaving the crew, and no one else could say anything. Who made him the boss of the movie.

Although Ryan is missing, the entire crew still flies around various cities in North America according to the scheduled plan. Everywhere they go, they can always reveal some secrets about the shooting, and most of these gossips are related to Ryan. Since he If you can't come to promote it, then you have to make good use of his name.

Because it is basically a one-man show, apart from Ryan, the most important actor in the crew is Naomi Watts. This Australian actress has completely got rid of the bad luck of the past few years and is fully surrounded by the spotlight. Enjoy the taste of fame and popularity.

For her, using Ryan's name to promote the movie is not promoting herself.

No movie can get rid of the inevitable laws of the market. So far, there is only one super box office bomb like "Titanic", and the popularity of "Cast Away" is gradually declining.

However, the film not only brought a super high box office, but also brought a surge in business to FedEx, which provided full support during the filming.

Three weeks after the release of this unusual FedEx super-long promotional video, FedEx's statistical system clearly shows that their business volume in North America has increased by nearly 20%, and in several overseas regions such as Europe, the average increased by nearly ten percent.

Especially according to the plot of the movie, they launched the mail package business with wings, which is extremely popular.

In short, the film is enough to bring huge benefits to FedEx, especially the invisible brand benefits.

Not to mention FedEx, but the not-so-famous 'Wilson' sports equipment. It has also become a well-known brand, and the famous volleyball is sold out all over the United States.

Through movies, not only can you benefit yourself, but it can also bring huge benefits to your partners. This kind of person can be placed in any industry in North America. All are welcome.

After handing over the stock matters to Scott, Ryan left Los Angeles for London. Meet the officially formed Harry Potter cast.

After the New Year, Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan took people to London to prepare for the preliminary work of the film.

Perhaps it was notified by his colleagues in Los Angeles in advance, after Ryan left Heathrow Airport. Facing the siege and interception of countless media and reporters, there are not only paparazzi from Fleet Street, but also many entertainment reporters from the European continent, and there are not a few reporters from North America.

The appeal brought by Ryan and Harry Potter is too great,

In addition to the media and reporters, thousands of book fans holding Harry Potter and various posters surrounded the VIP exit of the airport. They have been looking forward to it for many years, and finally the day comes when Harry Potter will be made into a movie.

If this is anything to go by, every now and then a teenage boy and girl jumps in front of Ryan or a reporter's camera lens. Shouting that he was the best candidate for 'Harry Potter' or 'Hermione Granger' made for even more confusion.

Maybe there are some different thoughts in it, but most of them still want to express their support for Ryan and their love for the whole series.

The consequence of this is that Ryan was directly blocked at the airport by reporters and fans. More and more people even made Heathrow Airport temporarily paralyzed. Get out of the crowd, and leave the airport hall that has been turned into a vegetable market.

Instead of returning to his villa in Kensington, he went directly to the Hilton Hotel where the crew stayed.

No matter for him or the crew, time is precious. After meeting Chris Columbus in the reception room rented by the crew, the two sides exchanged simple greetings and got straight to the point.

"Ryan, although many plots of the novel have been removed from the script, I believe in your level and vision."

After confirming Chris Columbus as the director, Ryan gave him the script written on the Australian farm in 1995.

Chris Columbus's face was exhausted and excited. After becoming the director of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", he fully realized the power of this series. He seemed to be the center of London, even if it was The most successful "Home Alone" that year didn't have this effect.

"Michael and I inspected the main locations including Gloucester Church and King's Cross Railway Station, and also communicated with some responsible agencies." Chris Columbus continued, "The filming location was chosen on the outskirts of London. In the coming year, in addition to selecting actors, we also have to order sets, props, costumes, etc..."

Listening to the other party's words, Ryan nodded slowly. Chris Columbus was very thoughtful.

"Where's Michael?" Ryan asked Michael Barnathan, the producer.

"He went to No. 10 Downing Street." Chris Columbus explained, "The child labor law in the UK is very troublesome, and it is definitely the biggest obstacle to the progress of filming. After reading your suggestion, Michael has persuaded No. 10 Downing Street No. As long as the House of Commons can pass it, it is not a problem to amend the relevant regulations.”

"There's no need to worry about this." Ryan waved his hand, "Just get it done before shooting."

In order to audition actors, all kinds of preliminary preparations must be made. If the film wants to officially start shooting, it will take more than a year at the earliest.

Jenkins Films and Warner have invested a lot of money and a lot of manpower in this project. Ryan paid a total of more than 100 million US dollars in production costs and 50 million US dollars in promotional expenses for the crew. Several toy and derivative manufacturers, including Baobao, negotiated so that the production of peripheral products can be started as soon as the props and roles of the movie are determined.

The bulk of this series' income is not the movie box office.

Even the "Alien" publishing house has found Ryan again, and wants to use the momentum of film adaptations to re-launch the hardcover version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

In short, all this is a guarantee of profit.

As early as the first time the crew arrived in London, they contacted the media under the News Corporation, including the TV station, and the advertisements for young actors in the audition were overwhelmingly released. Not to mention the sensational effect in the UK, the media in North America also paid attention to it all the time. Looking at this, even if there is a little trouble, the media under Time Warner will report it in an exaggerated way to attract people's attention.

With the development of the media, the speed of information dissemination is getting faster and faster, especially the rise of the Internet, the era of the eyeball economy has come, and the importance of publicity for movies or other products is self-evident.

In addition to conventional means, Yahoo also received business from Jenkins Films and began to build an official website for the entire Harry Potter series in order to win more support on the Internet.

Before the actor audition officially started, the crew rented the largest conference room in the Hilton Hotel and held a grand press conference.

Hundreds of reporters from North America, Europe, the Kingdom of Great Britain, and even some regions in the Far East filled the entire meeting room. The staff from the TV station set up several cameras early on and broadcast the news live on TV 1. conference.

"Yes, the crew will give preference to actors from the UK or Ireland so that the film maintains the overall atmosphere of the novel."

Undoubtedly, Chris Columbus, who served as the director and person in charge of casting, became the focus of media attention. He answered one question after another, "I repeat, as long as possible, all filming of the crew will be done in the UK, please Stop asking these two questions!"

"Director Columbus, what kind of young actor can meet your requirements and the Gryffindor Golden Triangle in your mind?" A reporter asked again.

"I want to remind you that I am indeed in charge of auditioning actors, but the final selection is still in Ryan's hands." Chris Columbus directly blamed him.

Then, all the gunfire was aimed at Ryan.

"Excuse me, what kind of young actor will you choose to play?"

"Will you accept face-to-face self-recommendations from young actors?"

"Ryan, Harry, Hermione, etc. will choose experienced young actors, or real newcomers?"

"Can the crew guarantee the fairness and justice of the audition?"

Originally, it was quite orderly, but now the conference room was in a state of flux. After the host of the press conference yelled several times in a row, those crazy guys gradually quieted down.

They were not fools either. They understood that such a chaotic scene could not get any valuable news, so they immediately restored the order they had just raised their hands to wait for.

"Ryan, can you tell me the standard size for selecting actors in the Gryffindor Golden Triangle?" The reporter who was named stood up.

"There is no standard." Ryan said while gesturing, "I believe everyone should know that some feelings cannot be expressed in words. Let's put it this way, when I saw those little actors, I felt that he was Leigh or Hermione, then he is the most suitable candidate, otherwise, no matter how good he is, he is not the actor I am looking for."

"So it's okay to be a pure rookie?"

"It doesn't matter whether you have experience or not." Ryan spread his hands, "Otherwise, the crew wouldn't have spent huge sums of money to hold auditions all over the UK with great fanfare."

"So you will be the one to decide on the main actor?"

"Chris is in charge of the specific work. As for the final candidate, I will discuss with him." Ryan waved his hand to stop the reporter from asking another question, "Let's put it this way, from the start of audition for actors now, to It will take at least a year for the film to start shooting, and you should stop asking about the selection of actors and the results, it doesn’t make any sense.”

The press conference was broadcast to every corner of the UK through the live TV screen, and the follow-up reports continued one after another. The media seemed to have found the topic that most attracted the attention of the British, and kept reporting various news about the crew and the audition.

At the same time, many school-age children are also eager to try. ()
