Chapter 423: Dispute

In an office of BBC TV station, Ye Ming looked at the information in his hand and listened to the introduction of producer Heyman. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. He still wanted to film Harry Potter well. Did the people at Warner Brothers have no brains? It must have been flooded. The filming of the movie hasn't started yet, and the crew is in such a state that they are fighting over each other just for profit.

Heyman is sitting in the middle position, which obviously shows his status in the crew. This expression shows that he has enough control. Director Columbus put down the information in his hand and said: "I think Tom, not only in terms of age, but also in appearance, is very consistent with Harry Potter. Moreover, he has also appeared in some movie advertisements and is very experienced. This A little bit is enough for him to support the needs of this role.”

But at this time, it happened that someone didn't think this was right. Producer Heyman snorted and said unconvinced: "Tom. I think this little guy is inappropriate. Our movie needs it." He is an original little wizard, not an actor. Harry Potter can have no acting skills, but he cannot act too much.

Tom Reeves is a child actor, and his acting marks are too serious. I have seen his movies and advertisements, and they have too many exaggerated movements and expressions. But Harry Potter is a quiet little boy. I don’t think he can be qualified for this. If we are choosing an actor at this time, then I think Daniel is more suitable. He has no acting experience at all. Yes, but I think it is the kind of temperament in him that is most consistent with the ideas in Ms. Rowling's novels. If Daniel hadn't been there, I don't think the movie would have been necessary. "

In Hollywood, it is actually a producer-centered system, what about the director?

No matter how you say it, you can change it at will.

Therefore, in Hollywood it is the producers who have the final say. But this place is the United Kingdom. Whoever has more power, the director or the producer, depends on who has greater influence in the entertainment industry. Therefore, director Columbus is not afraid of producer Heyman. What's more, Columbus is the director of Warner Brothers. Although he is also British, he is more of a director of Warner Brothers, isn't he? Otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn to film Harry Potter.

Moreover, he is also a member of the Hollywood Directors Guild, so at this time, he does not have too many scruples about Heyman, the producer. Therefore, they have more say.

At this time, Columbus was not very happy that director Heyman was challenging his directorial authority. Immediately he said unceremoniously: "Mr. Heyman, we have to do business, and no personal feelings can be brought into the work. You have to be responsible for the film's investment of 130 million. You can't just find someone to play the role." From the movie. Don’t think I don’t know, you and Daniel’s father are friends.”

Producer talent is the most important, at least that's what Heyman thinks. In fact, Hollywood is generally producer-centered.

That’s not to say that the director is unimportant, but the producer’s prayers play a greater role. Therefore, Heyman was a little annoyed at this time. He said very unhappily: "Yes, Daniel's father and I do know each other, but this movie hinders my judgment. I think we should not make hasty decisions. This is irresponsible investment in the company."

At this time, Ai Qiuhua began to make peace. Although everyone's opinions were different, they still wanted to unify their opinions, right?

Therefore, at this moment Ai Qiuhua said with a smile: "This matter is actually not a big deal. Don't argue so much, otherwise the five of us will have to do something. When choosing roles, we must be cautious. I I think, let the two of them come tomorrow to see their specific situations. I think who is more suitable for the role of Harry Potter can be decided only after meeting him."

Because at this time Ai Qiuhua was not completely sure about Daniel. Although she also thought that Daniel was more suitable, Ye Ming didn't say anything. She didn't know what this guy thought, so , she was afraid that once it was confirmed, there would be no way to change it at this time.

Therefore, if we directly put off such a problem until later, then such a thing would be a relatively normal thing.

You can test Ye Ming's tone again in the evening. If Ye Ming agrees, that would be the best.

And Heyman seemed to have the same idea. He believed that if he could win over Ye Ming, he would have a greater chance of victory, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense about the question. Instead, he nodded and said, "I agree with this. Only after meeting the person can we determine who is more suitable. This is not to say that the company can just randomly select a child to play Harry Potter."

Obviously, Heyman was quite disgusted with the authoritarian behavior of director Columbus. He believed that as a director, Columbus made a wrong decision in deciding that Daniel was the most suitable candidate for Harry Potter. Rowling knew that if she didn't say hurry up at this time, there would be no chance.

Therefore, invite Ye Ming immediately during the break. This is the advantage of friends, they can always be one step ahead.

In such a situation, Heyman was a little depressed. He wanted to communicate with Ye Ming and get Ye Ming to support him, but he didn't expect that Luo Lin actually said he would take the lead.

At this time, Ai Qiuhua said helplessly: "Don't think about this matter. Ye Ming is a very independent person. As long as he says what he believes in, there is no possibility of changing it. Luo Lin and the others took the lead. Ah, when the time comes, it will depend on Daniel’s own luck, just let this little guy be ready.”

At this time, Rowling and Columbus were accompanying Ye Ming in the cafe. While drinking fragrant coffee, Rowling said: "Mr. Ye, why were you silent just now? As one of the five judges, Your opinion is also quite important."

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Do you have any say in this matter? I just said that I saw their information, but I didn't see the young actors themselves. Therefore, in such a situation, I still feel sorry for them." I like hearing what you guys say. Only when I actually meet the actors in the afternoon can I make my own decision."

Now Rowling was unsure. She was actually good at this but the market was not very good. She had no problem writing novels, but when it came to choosing actors, she definitely followed her feelings. However, it is true that Heyman knew Daniel's father. Therefore, this left a very bad impression on Rowling, who believed that Heyman might have committed fraud.

Therefore, she is somewhat repulsive towards Daniel. She is a relatively idealistic person. Therefore, in such a matter, seeing that someone may have cheated to get the role of Harry Potter made her very Not satisfied.

This is one reason why Rowling collaborated with Columbus. At this time, Loli, you didn't hide your emotions and said: "What Heyman does, I think will kill other children's opportunities. Therefore, I don't agree with the actor he recommended. I think Harry Potter It belongs to everyone. As long as they meet the conditions, anyone can play this role. But if you get this role through your parents' relationship, then I will not agree to it at any cost. "

At this time, Ye Ming thought for a while and then said: "Actually, we in China are also like this. People with connections can naturally be taken care of. Therefore, many newcomers will try their best to find connections. I also hate this the most. Act proactively.

However, sometimes, what you see with your eyes is real. Whether Daniel is suitable or not, you have never seen him in person. Therefore, you cannot be so arbitrary. I will be responsible for this movie. If it is Daniel If it's not suitable, I won't choose him. "

Daniel is the most suitable candidate for Harry Potter, and the subsequent facts proved this.

Therefore, Ye Ming knew that this problem could not be changed, and Daniel was a real Englishman, not a descendant of an American. This is very consistent with the contract. Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Mingcai kindly reminded Luo Lin to pay attention to such a situation.

Columbus saw that Ye Ming actually said that there was a possibility of persuading Rowling. At this time, he thought for a while and said: "Mr. Ye, maybe you are right, but. Isn't that what those big companies do? They It's killing young people's opportunities. Only those who listen to them have the opportunity to act in movies. The rest of the people simply don't have such opportunities. I think you should give Tom a chance. Of course I admit that this kid has time. The traces of performance are a bit heavy, but this is the form of expression that actors want. If there are no traces of performance, what is the difference between actors and ordinary people? How do our directors train those actors to make various movies? Aren’t the people at Warner Bros. not aware of the list and still recommending someone with no acting experience at all? Isn’t this clearly bullying?”

Ye Ming saw the anger in the heart of the somewhat idealistic Director Columbus, and he understood the angry eyes of a director very well. But he sighed and said: "Idealism kills people. Everything will be revealed this afternoon. Don't worry, I am naturally measured." (To be continued)
