Dawson and his wife are divorced.

After all, money corrupted Dawson, and his infidelity was discovered by his wife.

After his wife found out, she chose to retaliate against him, and also found a man to cheat on him.

The chicken feathers here are not discussed in detail.

Simply put, he is divorced.

And dividing a large part of the funds to his wife, it can be regarded as a harmonious relationship between the two sides.

And a divorce, coupled with the close communication between Dawson and Harry Potter author Ms. Rowling.

Slowly, they came together.

Now, with her daughter, Rowling has moved into Dawson's newly bought villa.

It's not too long before they get married.

Of course, these personal matters, Dawson does not bring to work.

Today, he has an appointment with Reiter.

To discuss matters related to Harry Potter.

After such a long period of fermentation, coupled with vigorous publicity and investment.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has successfully created a miracle in the children's book market, making it to the top of the best-selling list.

800,000 copies sold.

To this end, almost all the money earned by Dawn Movies from Harry Potter has been invested in the sale of Harry Potter.

As a result, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone have become a well-known IP in the United States.

A little magician from England, accompanied by countless children into their dreams.

It is also loved by many adults.

Time came to noon.

Leiter arrived at Chenxi Film Company on time.

The two film companies have the same boss, and everyone is not unfamiliar with Leiter, the president of MGM. The secretary in charge of reception sent Leiter directly to the reception room.

･･･

After Leiter sat down, he directly stated his intention without writing any ink.

"Dawson, the Harry Potter crew, can start the project, I've already asked Kevin about that."

"He asked me to discuss it with you. He is busy with Spider-Man and has no time to deal with these things."

Dawson thought for a moment, then raised his head and said:

"The most important thing for this crew is casting, there's no doubt about that, right?"

Reid nodded.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a fairy tale book for children.

This is doomed, the movie it adapts is family-friendly.

If it can show the characteristics of those cute little magicians in the books, and thus be loved by the children, then this movie is considered a success.

"Then let's hold a large-scale casting event first, to choose the actors of the Harry Potter Iron Triangle from all over the world!"

"It's also an opportunity to expand the influence of Harry Potter's IP."

This is not Kevin's idea, but Dawson's own.

Having been a tool man for so long, Dawson also wanted to express himself.

After consultation with Rowling, he made the plan to hold a casting event facing the whole world.

Across the world, the three main characters are chosen as minor actors.

That is, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.

At the same time, he will announce to the public that the film will be directed and produced by Steve Kevin.

As soon as the news came out, everyone could understand.

As long as he can be selected, he is bound to become one of the best child stars in Hollywood and earn countless money.

This is the best chance to change destiny.

So whether they are selected or not, these people will definitely buy a Harry Potter and read it.

This has the effect of expanding Harry Potter's influence while building momentum for the film.

When Kevin finishes his work with Spider-Man and goes back to filming Harry Potter, the Harry Potter crew will definitely get countless attention and save a lot of publicity costs. Thinking of this, Dawson can't help but order for himself. likes.

Reiter also found Dawson's idea to be very creative.

Similar casting events have been held before.

But most of the range is continental United States.

And Dawson said that directly selecting three young actors all over the world will definitely get countless attention.

For nothing but the new work of Steve Kevin.

Steve Kevin, who is now a golden sign in Hollywood, makes one of his movies, and who doesn't want to be the actor chosen by him.

Once selected, it means being able to become a star with representative works.

Don't underestimate this.

With a masterpiece, basically with this role, you can eat for a lifetime.

In Hollywood, even if it's just a third-tier star, a movie can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After playing Steve Kevin's movie, he was able to become famous and become an actor in Hollywood.

Fame and fortune naturally come one after another.

So, for this place, it is necessary to know what kind of work Harry Potter is in advance.

Even if there is no such plan, there are also many people who buy a Harry Potter and have a look at Steve Kevin's plan to make a movie of this novel.

Steve Kevin, now famous, has long been more than just in the United States.

It can be said that in the vast majority of European and American countries where English is the subject, they are famous.

Not as famous as Spielberg.

"good idea!"

Reiter couldn't help but praise Dawson for the idea.

Seeing that Leiter agreed with his idea, Dawson became even more enthusiastic. He pulled Leiter and began to discuss the specific plan for this casting activity.

In short, it is to spread the influence of the best-selling children's book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to the world through this event within a few months.

Promoting the Harry Potter movie.

Time flies to February.

Kevin, who was filming, received an Oscar invitation from the company.

It is now the noon break, and the first and second assistant directors are eating a lunch box.

Of course, that's what it means, not a real box lunch.

It is different from the mainland's healthy eating concept of eating well in the morning, full at noon, and eating less at night.

In the United States, the most important thing is actually dinner.

As for breakfast, the emphasis is on nutrition. Generally, it is done with milk, bread, and an omelette.

Noon is easier, a sandwich or a KFC McDonald's fast food is done.

Therefore, the three of them are just dealing with something to eat.

The staff sent the Oscar invitation and left.

Look at Kevin holding the Oscar invitation letter indifferently.

Mitt was a little envious and said:

"Kevin, are you going?"

"Don't go."

Kevin didn't care.

The Oscars are just a PR game.

Kevin has lost interest in Oscars since Batman The Dark Knight won the Academy Award for Best Director.

To put it bluntly, the commercial films he made were not the type that Oscar liked. In the future, Oscar will play tricks because of political correctness, so that his credibility will drop again and again, and winning an award is enough for Kevin. .

And the Matrix, because there is no public relations reason, even some technical awards in the original history may not be given to him, and it is just rubbing against the red carpet, which is useless.

Mitt was instantly envious.

This is Kevin's confidence. If you don't make a fool of Oscar, you won't make a fool of Oscar.

When does he still want to go to the Oscars to play, especially after the awards ceremony is over, it is the easiest place to hook up with female stars.

There are no good people in the entertainment industry, and these words are universal no matter where they are.

Not to mention 100%, two people have a bad person, there must be omissions.

Of course, the bad here refers to morality.

For men and women in the entertainment industry, their belts are indeed loose enough.

Kevin glanced at Mitt's expression and knew what was on his mind.

"Want to go to the Oscars?"

"Yes···"

"no!"

Mitt immediately denied it.

Kevin said angrily:

"Do you want to make a commercial blockbuster and gain fame and fortune, or be an art film director and make a name for yourself."

"Of course I want to make a commercial blockbuster."

Mitt snorted.

Kevin taught again;

"Then make a good movie. In the second half of the year, you and Schneider will make a big production."

"Snyder, when you shoot Ghost Rider, the protagonist is Nicolas Cage."

"Mitt, you shoot Iron Man, and the protagonist is Robert Downey Jr."

Zach Snyder and Mitt showed expressions of surprise and joy at the same time.

Although Kevin had already told them that they would make a movie later, Kevin did not tell them the specific time schedule.

Now, looking at what Kevin meant, in the second half of the year, they were each responsible for the shooting of a movie.

This made them even more impatient.

Before that they were co-directors, and it was finally time to be able to direct a movie independently.

Looking at the happy two, Kevin also had a smile on his face.

This is his background.

For a film company, it is very important whether there are directors who have such long-term cooperation.

In the past life, Huayi in mainland China has established a stable and cooperative relationship with Xiaogang, Tsui Hark, Xingchi and other mature directors with the most appealing and professional strength in the Chinese-speaking market.
