Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 451: Warrior

"I'm going to put the preparations for "The Mummy" in the UK too!"

After discussing with Sean Daniel, Charlotte finally made this decision.

As a representative of the global side, Sean Daniel also agreed.

In this regard, because of the "Mummy" project, Charlotte is the first producer. As long as his decision is not excessive, Sean Daniel can only raise his hand in favor.

On the other hand, it really makes sense to do so-

First of all, Charlotte is currently filming "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the UK, and the preparation of "The Mummy" is also carried out in the UK, which is conducive to the director's close attention.

Secondly, according to the script, it is indeed more convenient to prepare in the UK.

No way, who made the story happen in Egypt between World War I and World War II?

At that time, the British Empire had not yet sunk, and the Suez Canal was still under the control of the British.

In this context of the story, the protagonist and many supporting actors are naturally British.

Although this does not mean that all Brits must be used, but some must be used.

What's more, even if Hollywood filmmakers are strong, the pyramids of Egypt are still historical relics after all, and they can't directly go in and shoot.

——This is similar to the fact that there are imperial palaces in many ancient costume films in China, but few films were actually shot in the Forbidden City.

In short, the crew of "The Mummy" needs to find a desert as a location.

Since "Star Wars", when Hollywood movies need to use deserts as locations, the first choice has always been the deserts of Morocco and Tunisia in North Africa.

The crew of "The Mummy" naturally planned the same way.

In this way, considering the issues of human resources, language and distance, it is a reasonable choice to put the base camp or studio for film preparation in the UK.

In fact, Sean Daniel was pondering similar ideas just before Charlotte spoke.

Now that Charlotte had spoken, he would naturally follow the flow.

"Speaking of which, Sean, does Universal have any requirements for the choice of male and female protagonists?"

After talking about the preparation location and location, Charlotte turned his attention to the actors again.

——Although Charlotte is the first producer of this movie, he can't ignore Universal's largest investor and distributor after all.

——Although unless it's really right, Charlotte isn't prepared to listen to what the other party says.

But listen, it's okay to behave!

As a representative of the world, Sean Daniel is also very interesting.

"Charlotte, this movie is based on your will, and there is no requirement for Universal."

"In other words, our only requirement is one word-money!"

Sean Daniel slandered in his heart, but his face was full of sincerity.

——Even if it is not an actor, everyone is mixed with Hollywood after all, and there is still some basic acting skills.

And Charlotte also understands the subtext under the other party's words, but it's hard to say anything about this kind of thing after all.

He directly stated his plan,

"Then we will adopt an American male protagonist with a British female protagonist-so that it can meet the background of the story, but also can please the audience in North America."

"That's a good idea!"

Sean Daniel nodded.

"Then do you have a suitable role candidate?"

"As for the heroine, I plan to use a British actress named Rachel Weisz. As for the actor, Brandon Fisher in "Tarzan" released last year, do you think it's okay?"

"Rachel Weisz and Brand Fisher?"

Sean Daniel glanced at Charlotte in surprise.

"They are not very famous actors!"

"Generally, in order to save costs and strengthen post-production, such action-adventure movies do not use particularly famous actors? After all, fame means expensive!"

"you're right!"

Sean Daniel agreed with this view.

**********

In fact, these two candidates are the heroes and heroines of the movie "The Mummy" in Charlotte's original world.

However, Charlotte will choose them, but not just to restore the original movie.

More importantly, these two people have indeed asked him for roles through various relationships.

Rachel Weisz, through a group of British actors from the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", asked Charlotte for a request.

In fact, Rachel Weisz also participated in the casting of the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

But born in 1970, the current age is more embarrassing——

She is too big if she plays a student;

But if she plays the role of a professor, she is not old enough;

In this case, she was naturally eliminated.

However, her appearance, acting skills and literary accomplishment have been recognized by many casting members, including Lao Qiang.

——After all, this lady graduated from Cambridge.

In the Anglo-American entertainment industry, her academic qualifications are the highest, on par with Judy Foster who graduated from Harvard.

However, what is peculiar is that although Rachel Weisz has a good temperament, he does not have that shrewd and exposed feeling.

This ~lightnovelpub.net~ is different from Judy Foster, who also majored in literature, and Natalie Portman, who also focused on academic dominance, and even Emma Watson in the future. ...

In short, Lao Qiang and others are very optimistic about Rachel Weisz.

Therefore, with the recommendation of a group of British actors from the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" crew, Charlotte, who has already taken over the "Mummy" project, also went smoothly.

——Anyway, in the original "The Mummy" in time and space, Rachel Weisz is the heroine!

As for the male protagonist Brandon Fisher, it's even simpler—

Charlotte has a very good memory, he still remembers this guy who came around when he filmed "Fatal Turn".

He recognized the opponent at that time, and made jokes about Kung Fu action movies and gunfight action movies.

Now, to film "The Mummy", he will naturally not forget the original male protagonist.

After all, according to Charlotte's memory before crossing, Brandon Fisher's performance in "The Mummy" is still very good.

Besides, like Charlotte, Brandon Fisher has a good memory—

Ever since Charlotte was promoted to Hollywood's first-line director through "Desktop", Brandon Fisher has often asked Charlotte for roles through members of the crew of "Fatal Bend" at that time.

——Unlike Charlotte, Brandon Fisher's development in Hollywood is not very smooth. It was not until last year that he played a major role in "Tarzan".

In this case, a director I knew in his early years has been promoted, and Brandon Fisher will naturally find ways to hug Charlotte's thigh.

With the current situation, Charlotte believes that the other party should be very obedient under her own hands.

Then, according to the original version of time and space, there is no problem in using the other party as the male protagonist of the "Mummy" movie.
