King of Hollywood

\u003c/br\u003e Chapter 283 Prove it to me!

"What I need for magic is children who know magic. They have the kind of magic power that they can understand at a glance, but I can't feel the slightest magic power among these hundreds of children." In Harriet "In the rented office of the crew, director Chris Columbus said to Adrian a little moved. m

Adrian shrugged, and then looked at JK Rowling next to him, who also shrugged with a smile. Obviously, Columbus has said this more than once, and Rowling is very satisfied with him as the director.

She has always wanted Spielberg to be the director, but Adrian convinced her that Chris Columbus is the top film director of all ages in Hollywood. Among other things, the two "Home Alone" not only became popular Cowley King has also become a classic among movies of all ages. While the Harriet series will inevitably start to come to life, the first two books are childlike, so it's only fitting that Columbus direct.

After Columbus came to London, Rowling quickly recognized him, and the preparation work and casting work of the crew were also carried out smoothly, but suitable actors were still a difficulty. As Columbus has said before, he hopes to find children who have "magic power", but this somewhat human feeling can easily hinder the progress of the work at times.

This can't be said to be a bad thing, after all, the director is responsible for the entire crew, but it can't be said to be a good thing, because it will prolong the production time of the film. The main reason why Adrian made preparations half a year earlier than the original version is that children develop very quickly, especially after they are ten years old. After shooting for a year, there will be obvious changes in the appearance before and after the film. This is not a good thing.

However, there are not too many problems. If there is any trouble here, then we can make up for it from other aspects. The response of the British to the adaptation of the Harriet series into a movie is overwhelming. At least tens of thousands of people signed up for the election. Many, the British media have also done a lot of reports on the crew's audition work, and the government is even more supportive - under the lobbying of the public relations personnel sent by Adrian, the Blair government has formally considered amending the "Child Labor Law".

The British "Child Labor Law" has strict requirements for minors under the age of 16 to participate in filming. For example, children under the age of 13 can only work 7 hours a day and must attend classes for 3 hours a day. If the shooting goes well, there is nothing wrong with such regulations, but if it doesn’t go well... What’s more, as I said before, developing children grow up very fast, and if the delay is a little longer, they may face the problem of re-shooting the previous things, so These laws must be changed.

Now that it has been formally considered, it is needless to say what the outcome will be. The potential value of the Harriet series of films is at least one billion. If the law cannot be amended, causing the film crew to return to the United States to use American actors for filming, it will definitely be a problem for the British government. It's a worthwhile thing. This is not only an economic problem, but also a slap in the face. Even if the Blair government refuses, as long as the news is released, they will definitely become the enemy of the whole of Britain.

Well, back to the topic, in addition to these, Adrian is also going to push, which was the purpose of his trip to London.

"By the way, I have a very good candidate for Hermione." Adrian asked about the relevant affairs, got a general idea of ​​the current situation, and discussed with Columbus, Rowling and several responsible persons. Say so.

"Really?" Both Columbus and Rowling expressed curiosity at the first time. You must know that there are so many candidates, even if thousands of children have been eliminated, there are still thousands of children who need to be asked one by one, otherwise Columbus will not complain.

"Hmm..." Adrian tapped his head with his fingers, and then looked at the other two people, "Mollally, has the Hogwarts school uniform been designed? Are there any ready-made ones? Suitable for children aged 9 to 11 Physical?"

After getting a positive answer, Adrian asked for a set of Gryffindor girls' costumes as a sample, and then asked the props team for a set of Hermione's furry wigs, and then asked Columbus and Rowling Smiling: "Sorry, for some reason, I have to make some preparations. After I bring her over tomorrow, you will understand why I did this."

There is no need to say much about what Adrian is going to do. In his mind, besides little Emma, ​​who else is more suitable to play the role of Hermione.

"Will this dress be too big?" In Emma's bedroom, the little girl gestured to the Gryffindor school uniform spread out on the bed, then turned her gaze to the wig next to her and sighed. "Wear this again."

"Is there a problem?" Adrian, who watched her nagging, asked with a smile.

"Of course," Emma picked up the wig with two fingers and shook it, "it's fluffy, don't you think I'll look like a poodle when I wear it?"

"How could it be?" Adrian said as he brought the wig over, and then put it on for her. After a few times of tossing, it was finally done, but the effect was just...

"I'm not wrong at all." Emma looked at herself in the mirror with her hands on her hips and shook her head.

"You know, I'm not a makeup artist, so..." Adrian behind her scratched his head, "Well, when you arrive at the set tomorrow, I'll let a professional take care of it for you—try changing your clothes now."

"Okay, okay." The little girl stuck out her tongue, grabbed the wig and threw it aside, and then began to take off her shirt.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Adrian yelled quickly.

Emma looked at him a little puzzled, but the movements of her hands didn't stop for a moment: "Of course it's changing clothes, didn't you just say that?"

"You should wait for me to go out before undressing, or change in the bathroom," Adrian sighed, "You are already 9 years old, Emma."

Even so, the little girl didn't listen at all, and took off in two or three strokes, leaving only her underwear. Adrian rolled his eyes, then turned his back to the girl.

"Really, it's not like I haven't bathed before." Emma muttered, and Adrian rolled his eyes immediately, and then there were a few teasing chuckles in his ears.

"I put it on." After a while, the girl's voice sounded again. Adrian turned half of his body slightly, glanced at Emma, ​​and turned around completely after making sure that she was really dressed. .

The clothes were a little too big, after all, they were designed for an 11-year-old child, but wearing them on a girl still set off her cuteness and temperament, almost the same as Adrian's memory.

"It's perfect, isn't it? It would be more suitable if the clothes were smaller." He pulled her in front of him, straightened her clothes, and adjusted his tie, he said, "This role is just tailored for you." Made it, Emma."

However, the girl curled her lips: "Do you really think I'm suitable to play Hermione, Ed?"

"Of course, don't you like this novel very much?" Adrian asked, looking at her.

"It's one thing to like it, but it's another thing to act in person, which makes me..." Emma thought for a while, "It feels like húnluàn."

"Really?" Adrian narrowed his eyes and sighed after a while, "Well, if you don't want to..."

"I didn't say that," Emma quickly interrupted him, puffing up her breasts with a dignified look, "I said, as long as you want, then I will act, I How could you lose your faith?"

"That's right." Adrian said leisurely, his narrowed eyes not opening.

Emma suddenly felt something was wrong, as if...he had noticed it a long time ago, but it was a pity that she was pressed on the bed by the other party before she could make the gesture of running away.

"Oh, help!" The laughing cry for help came out of the room immediately.

The next day, Rowling and Columbus were stunned when Emma appeared in front of Rowling and Columbus, dressed in a Gryffindor school uniform and a wig. In particular, Emma raised her head and shook hands with them with a little pride like Hermione, which made them grow their mouths uncontrollably.

"God, I didn't think it would be the most suitable..." Rowling covered her mouth, and looked at Adrian as if she wanted to save face: "You are cheating, Ed, you have to know how she is dressed..."

"Do you really think so, Joe?" Adrian asked with a smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Rowling could only admit: "Well, Emma is really... like walking out of a novel, oh, I really didn't expect the most suitable person to be by my side, it's incredible."

When she was sighing here, Columbus had already pulled Emma to ask a question: "Have you acted in movies or plays, Emma?"

"I have acted in a few plays in school, but when Ed was filming in London, I often went back to the set to play, so I know a lot about film production, don't worry, Mr. Director." Emma said with a smile, and at the same time Keeping that little cocky air, like it's the little things, makes her look cute and fun.

No matter in front of anyone or under any circumstances, she always calls Adrian Ed, not like some guy who likes rock and roll and looks like a bad girl but is actually very innocent, she must add "le" as a prefix .

"Ha, is she your nephew, Ed?" Columbus asked in surprise.

Needless to say, both Rowling and Columbus were very satisfied with the next thing, especially Columbus was full of sympathy and admiration for the little girl after learning about the affair between Emma and Adrian.

"The disaster in her childhood made her a little precocious, but under your influence, she didn't close herself up, but let herself go, and at the same time she was cute, with a kind of wisdom and friendly magic. She is Hermione." Columbus finally said Said.

This matter was settled like this, but Emma had to go through the audition process to avoid people making irresponsible remarks, although this kind of thing was normal. In many movies with open casting, the main roles are basically recommended by people in the industry, so the actor's network and agent are very important. Isn't the original version of Harry also selected in this way?

I don't know who will get those important roles in the current version. In addition, I have to remind the crew that Ginny has to choose a well-behaved and beautiful little girl. Unless Rowling revises the outline, it is necessary to plan ahead. However, although Adrian really wanted to stay in London to see other characters selected in this version, after all, he still had a film in his hand, so he couldn't stay outside for too long, so after confirming that Emma would play Hermione, After the incident, I stayed for two days and then prepared to return to New Zealand.

But, before going back, there is one more thing to do.

"It's such a pity. If I were younger, I would definitely fight for this role." In the crew's office, Keira flipped through the Hogwarts design drawings that Emma handed over. .

"It's okay now, there are still many roles, such as Angelina Johnson, or Katie Bell, etc." Emma said.

Although Keira is five years older than Emma, ​​their relationship has always been very good, so after Emma invited her to play in Harriet's crew, she agreed without hesitation.

"I won't play such a small role that doesn't matter much," Keira shrugged, "You know, generally, movies adapted from novels will focus on a few protagonists, and those supporting roles will be used as needed. Just delete."

"Really?" Emma asked curiously.

"Of course, my mom is a screenwriter," Kayla continued, shrugging. "Didn't Ed tell you?"

"Yes," Adrian's voice came over at this moment, "Although Emma is very smart, there are some things that she may not understand."

"That was before, I'm sure I can understand now." Emma made a face at Adrian who came over.

"Of course, now you're grown up again." Adrian laughed and licked her head, then looked at Keira: "Sorry, Keira, I'm leaving London soon, so there are many things Be busy."

"It's okay, I...know, you're always busy." Keira forced a smile, and the depression that disappeared because of chatting with Emma before flooded up between her brows again, accompanied by obvious anxiety and resentment.

After talking for a few words, Adrian, who saw these in his eyes, immediately asked: "You seem very unhappy, Keira, what's on your mind?"

"I..." Keira opened her mouth and closed it again, biting her mouth and turning to the side, the irritability in her eyes became more intense.

Adrian didn't speak, just watched her wait quietly, and so did Emma next to her.

"I want to talk to you, Ed," Keira finally said, gritting her teeth as if trying to hold back something, "Go ahead."

I found an empty room, closed the door, and waited for Keira to sit down. Adrian sat opposite her: "Is this okay?"

Keira didn't speak, she lowered her head and squeezed her hands, as if she didn't know what to say.

"Relax, Keira, don't be so nervous, there are only two of us here," Adrian said calmly, "I'm a good listener, right? So why don't you let your parents or others You can tell me everything you know, and I won’t say it.”

"I've talked to my parents, but... it can't solve the problem at all." Keira said irritably, "Apart from them, only you... made me want to talk, although I didn't like you very much before, But you...have a very friendly feeling, at least you haven't told others about the things we talked about before...but..."

Having said that, she raised her head and looked at Adrian with suspicion and hesitation.

"I want to apologize to you, Keira," Adrian said immediately, "When I came to London to visit the class at the beginning of the year, I already found that you were not in a good mood, but I had something to deal with at that time, so I didn't I can talk to you. Although I have the same thing now, I am more generous than before, so I asked Emma to invite you out."

Although it didn't matter to him, he still apologized first. Kayla, who has been troubled by dyslexia until now, is a very sensitive girl. Deep in her heart, she has a strong thought of "it's not me, it's the world". What kind of conflict, the solution to the problem is to speak according to her will first, and a tough confrontation will only make things worse.

Originally, she had changed under the influence of Adrian and became friends with Emma, ​​but now Emma told Adrian that she has become sensitive to many things again, and she thinks about when she came to London before , Her appearance of wanting to talk, Adrian asked Emma to invite Keira over.

"You asked Emma to invite me out?" The young girl asked in surprise. After Adrian nodded affirmatively, her previous doubts subsided a lot, but she still hesitated and did not continue, as if It's hard to say.

Adrian didn't rush, just waited patiently. Finally, Keira opened his mouth, and then he showed a look of surprise and astonishment.

"What kind of woman do you like?" She asked, and then said: "Or, what kind of woman do men like?"

"Why are you asking this?" Adrian looked at her puzzled, "And this question is too general, right?"

"Okay," Keira closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Anyway, she has already said it, so it doesn't matter if you say more, "Do men like women with a particularly good figure? Do they especially like women with big ngs? ? Is it true that whether a woman is attractive or not depends on the size of her ng?"

If it were someone else, there might be some confusion, but Adrian immediately realized it. After all, everyone knew about Keira's title of "Princess Taiping" in her previous life. Keira was stabbed by something, and now she can guess with her knees, but she is a bit too much, how old is she now? I actually started to worry about this, but then again, the girl in the West has indeed begun to develop at this time, but she looks...

"Of course not." Adrian smiled, trying to make his smile look gentle.

"You lied!" Kayla tensed her chún and hugged her arms, staring at him like a hedgehog that had been stabbed and rolled into a ball.

"I don't. There are many aspects to a man's liking for a woman, and the size of his buttocks is not the decisive factor." Adrian explained, but Keira still didn't accept it.

"Well, let's just talk about the ng part. Some men really like women with big ng parts, but some also like ordinary women. For them, ordinary women may be more attractive." Adrian Ann shrugged, "If you want a more definite answer, then I really like you in normal times, Keira."

The girl was startled at first, and she blushed, seeming to be angry: "You are still lying to me, don't think I don't understand you, those tabloids..."

"Can you get to know a person by reading tabloids?" Adrian spread his hands, "I really like nv xìng with a well-curved crotch, but why can't I like flat nv xìng? That's another kind of charm."

Keira stared at him blankly for a while, and finally her tense face began to relax a little: "Prove it to me."

"Ah?" Adrian blinked, but before he could react, the girl grabbed his hand and pressed it on her chest, looking at him with determined eyes: "Prove it to me"\u003c /p\u003e
