Hollywood superstars: Start as a child star

20th Century Fox

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills Century City.

Twentieth Century Fox headquarters building.

Vice President Robert Ferguson came to the office in the morning.

“Bang bang~” The secretary brought in a package. “Boss, this is your daughter, Ms. Roxy, sent from London.”

“Yes, I know. She said on the phone, you put it on the table.” Ferguson thought of his rebellious man two days ago. An overseas phone call from an unfilial daughter.

She said she had dug a ‘gold mine’ in London, a huge gold mine that was bottomless. Now the gold mine is starting to glow, and soon greedy gold diggers will be flocking to London. Be sure to seize the opportunity!

Ferguson walked over to his desk and pulled a book from his bag.

The cover reads “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” in a Gothic font, a children’s hand-drawn illustration cover: a red steam train and a little man with eyes.

“Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? Well, the name is a bit difficult to pronounce. It’s a typical children’s book!” Ferguson adjusted his glasses and simply commented: “This is the ‘gold mine’ Roxy talks about! Or is it? The little boy she worked for discovered it first?”

Although her daughter was rebellious, her father Ferguson had never underestimated her vision and knowledge. Although the piece of literature he sent was for children, there was nothing special about it at first, so he made his decision without being arbitrary.

Then take a look. Ferguson picked up the book, walked to the sofa, and took a relatively comfortable position to see what magic this book had.

“Well, this author named JK Rowling’s writing style is relatively plain and simple. Children can understand it, so it’s quite suitable.” ”

Well, this little boy named Harry is a bit miserable…”

“The owl delivers the message ?”

“(9¾) Platform nine and three-quarters? Hmm, interesting. I’ve been to King’s Cross Station in London, in the mysterious area between platform nine and platform ten?” Ferguson felt that this kind of reality and magic The intertwined setting aroused his interest.

“The Sorting Hat? Four completely different houses! This will arouse a lot of discussion and participation.”

“Quidditch match, this is a breaking point.” Ferguson was already unknowingly evaluating each one according to the rhythm of the movie’s script. Chapters in the book.

…

“Bang~bang~” The secretary knocked on the door again and came in, “Boss, what do I need to order for today’s lunch?” ”

Ah?” The whole morning passed, and Ferguson finally realized what he had done. I didn’t do anything in the morning, just read here.

“No, please help me make an appointment with President Corbett Fox to have lunch together if you have time. I have something to discuss with him.” “Okay,

boss!” The secretary retreated again.

Ferguson immediately called his daughter in London: “Roxy, are you having dinner?” ”

Dad, have you received the book?” Roxy over there ignored her father’s greetings and asked directly.

“Received. I just read most of it this morning. Your judgment is very right! This book is very suitable for adapting into a movie, and it is obvious that the story is not over yet. One book is not enough!” In Hollywood, as everyone

knows , major film companies like to make series movies most. Once one film becomes popular, the second and third films will be made. If you accidentally hit it, just hide it temporarily. After a few years, when the audience’s sense of nostalgia regains the upper hand, they will announce a reboot, arrange a prequel or something, and generate a wave of sentimental money.

“Then seize the opportunity. This book is currently only available for sale in the British Isles. We first need to get its book distribution rights in the United States, which is what the author Rowling cares about most. I believe that as long as we help Rowling Sell this book on the best-seller list in the United States. The right to adapt the movie will be within your grasp.” ”

Okay. I will immediately send people from the Fox Publishing and Media Group to London to contact you. You have full decision-making power!” “That’s

not right. …” Roxy said expressionlessly, “I have resigned from Fox. Now I am an employee of CAA.” ”

No, no, no, you have not resigned.” Father Ferguson quickly said in a good voice: “You are just indefinitely It’s just a vacation, I declare! Your vacation is over and you will return to work immediately. Your first project is to win the exclusive copyright task of “Harry Potter”!” “No, I still have to

bring the artists in hand.”

“That’s the kid from Claire, right?” Ferguson asked. He had never seen this kid before. When “Baywatch” was aired on Fox’s own late-night TV station, he took a few glances. Although his acting skills are weak, he is still safe as an idol. Roxy has always had a good eye.

“I don’t know what’s going on. Why did he choose a more feminine name? He’s easy to complain about.” Ferguson said, “Why don’t you give him a stage name?” “No need, it’s quite distinctive and memorable

. . As long as the looks and acting skills are strong enough, it’s okay to be a Dick.” Roxy was too lazy to talk to her old father about these trivial matters and went back.

Faced with his daughter’s foul language, Father Ferguson was choked.

“Um…shall I arrange another assistant for you? As an agent, you don’t need to be with the artist all the time. It’s not a personal nanny. Or is it because you don’t have children at the age of 30 and want to be a mother? “Father Ferguson fought back hard.

“Take care of your worthless son!” Roxy rolled her eyes, “He has already changed his wife twice and is still going out to do mischief. I don’t know where your grandchildren are scattered in the corners of the world.” Without waiting

. Dad retorted, and Roxy spoke faster: “As a vice president, you don’t need to worry about assistant matters. You should think carefully about how to repay Claire. The value that this “Harry Potter” can create… is absolutely beyond Our expectations.”

“Okay, okay~” Ferguson surrendered again, “I’ll look back and see if there is a suitable role for him.” “Just keep it in mind. Goodbye

, Dad!”

Hearing the call from the other end of the phone. The blind sound of “Dudu~”. Ferguson was relieved to think that although her daughter had always been lukewarm towards him, she still thought of him at the critical moment. Just thinking about the tense relationship between this pair of children makes my temples pound. Forget it, let nature take its course, I really can’t control it. Don’t even listen!

As soon as Ferguson walked out of the office, he turned back and took the “Harry Potter” book with him. Prepare to take it and have a good chat with President Corbett Fox during lunch.

Once you get it, how do you develop it and unleash its full potential?
