Chapter 521： Harry Potter

ps:

Four more today!

As a live reporter on TV 1, Robert Mitterrand has always had a keen sense of smell. After learning the news about Harry Potter, he tried his best to persuade his boss to win an OB van. He had a hunch. Ryan Jenkins is likely to make big moves today.

Although the other party does not have British nationality, the vast majority of the British public regard him as their own. Since the death of Princess Diana, he is definitely the most eye-catching public figure in the UK. Newspapers related to him are published and sold. It will always be a lot higher than usual.

The only pity is that the other party is too busy, so busy that he rarely visits his second hometown, London.

Just five minutes ago, the handsome bodyguard suddenly came out and announced that, in view of the concerns of the press, a small press conference would be held in the front court of the villa, the content of which was related to Harry Potter.

As the TV station stood behind, and the TV station was affiliated with Ryan Jenkins’s partner News Corp. Robert Mitterrand was invited at the first time, unlike other reporters in the industry, for a few representatives. The quota was almost broken.

"Mr. Mitterrand, the phone is connected." His assistant handed over the mobile phone.

After answering the mobile phone, Robert Mitterrand greeted him in the most concise way, and said almost in a roaring way, "Coles, I hope that the station can immediately interrupt the news transmitted from my side. What? No? Maybe? The program schedule is very tight? I don't care about it, I want my interview to be broadcast live immediately! Do you know who I interviewed?"

"Robert, I think you should understand that even if you are standing at Buckingham Palace and the subject of the interview is Her Majesty the Queen or the Crown Prince, it is impossible for me to change the program at will." The voice coming from the phone contains the British inherent. Rigid.

"Asshole, Coles, Ryan Jenkins is about to hold a press conference! We want to grab the time to be the first to report!"

"What?" The voice on the other side obviously didn't have the stubbornness just now.

"Those rumors about Harry Potter should be true. Ryan Jenkins is about to hold a press conference and is likely to announce the adaptation of the film! Do you understand? That is Ryan Jenkins and his "Harry "Porter"! That is a novel that has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide!"

"Wait a minute, I... I'll contact you right away? How many minutes are there to start?"

"ten minutes!"

"I promise! Ten minutes backstage will definitely appear on your side!" The stereotype in the voice disappeared without a trace.

Hanging up, Robert Mitterrand told his team to check the equipment immediately. We must show the rigorous attitude we used to broadcast the princess's funeral last year to deal with this small press conference.

After Mitterrand checked the work of his subordinates, regardless of the print media reporters who were still competing for the spot, he stared at the door of the villa, anxiously waiting for the moment it opened.

As a reporter who is biased towards entertainment, he knows a lot about the owner of this villa. He understands that with his and his work in the eyes of the British people, he can easily grab a lot of attention, not to mention this is about Kazakhstan. News of the adaptation of the Lee Potter series of novels into movies.

This is the most successful all-age novel in the world. It is still the most representative work after the British Empire entered the 1990s, and the British have waited too long for it to become a movie.

Now that we have the exact news, the only regret is, why is Ryan Jenkins not an Englishman?

"Don't you think your decision is a bit sudden?" Taylor sat on the sofa in the living room of the villa. Looking at Ryan curiously, she knew very well that before coming to England, her good brother had no plans for Harry Potter at all.

"My dear, this is an opportunity." Ryan had changed into a formal suit and said through the window looking at the busy staff in the garden. "Since the British media are willing to advertise for us for free, why should we reject their kindness?"

"No wonder Nat always said that you are more like a businessman." The little guy wrinkled his nose.

"Okay, dear." Ryan walked over and rubbed her blonde hair. "Stay quietly here. I'll be back soon."

Sitting at the small table in the villa. Ryan raised his hand to signal to be quiet, and waited for more than a dozen reporters to sit around other tables and let the staff serve coffee. All reporters from the influential media could come in, except for a few photographers. There are also large-scale camera equipment painted with marks, also erected.

A reporter named Robert Mitterrand sent a few words through George, and Ryan nodded slightly to him, quietly waiting for the TV station staff to complete preparations for the live broadcast.

Ryan is not in a hurry, but the reporters at the scene understand that it is useless if they are anxious. They have already come in anyway, and it is just the difference between early and late. Why should you be a villain? If you get kicked out, you will lose more than you gain.

What's more, what they are tasting is the authentic blue mountain coffee and Lapsang Souchong black tea.

"I invited you here today to have some face-to-face communication. We don't need to divide interviews and interviewees. Everyone is like old friends. It's good for afternoon tea chat."

Ryan spoke slowly. The reporter who can enter here will naturally not be a paparazzi. His words instantly narrowed the distance between the two sides, "Everyone knows that I used to be here..."

He pointed to the villa at the back and said nonsense that he didn’t even believe him, “I have lived here for more than two years and have different feelings for this city. I don’t have this special experience or the original British culture. It’s impossible to have the entire Harry Potter series..."

These words made the British in the field feel bright. In the past, when they created miracles for novels like Harry Potter with a strong British style, they were unavoidable because the author is not an authentic. The British are entangled.

"Ryan, can you give me some definite news, are you planning to put the Harry Potter series on the big screen?" Maybe the relaxed atmosphere in the court has infected everyone, or maybe Ryan's very affinity On the one hand, these reporters are obviously less sharp.

"Actually, I've been planning this work since the day the novel ended." Ryan raised a teacup to the reporter, who smiled embarrassedly and continued to ask, "It is convenient to reveal the specific timetable. ?"

"Let's put it this way." Ryan put the teacup on the table, "After "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park 2", everyone should be able to see that the film post-production technology has changed dramatically. I think the conditions are ripe for making Harry Potter movies."

Hearing what he said, these reporters couldn't help being shocked.

"If all goes well, the crew will be formally established early next year, and then an audition will be held for the roles including Harry and Hermione, plus shooting and post-production. I expect the first episode of the movie "Harry Potter" "And the Philosopher's Stone" will be filmed as early as the end of 2000 or early 2001."

After making the decision, Ryan considered a lot of issues in a short period of time, and also revealed some ideas in a planned way.

"Will the filming location be chosen in the UK? Will all British actors be used as stated in the newspaper?" Robert Mitterrand asked everyone the most concerned question.

"In my plan, the UK is definitely the first choice. Otherwise, with so many landmarks, just making the scenery would be a huge expense."

Ryan's smile, like sunlight, infected everyone, causing continuous laughter in the audience.

He continued, "In terms of actors, my plan is to use British or Irish actors as much as possible, as the newspaper says. Can you imagine Dumbledore and Voldemort with a Mississippi accent or a Texas accent? "

Before the reporters were happy, Ryan's words suddenly turned, "But these are just first choices..."

"Why?" Someone was surprised.

"In the shooting, a large number of underage actors will be used. I think you may not know much about the "Children’s Labor Law" in the United Kingdom. There are extremely strict regulations on the shooting time of child actors. If you follow the requirements of this law Even after five years, it will be difficult for everyone to see the Harry Potter series of movies."

Ryan's plan is very simple. Let these media blow the air first, and then let his public relations team lobby the House of Commons. This should be easier.

"What if the House of Commons is willing to amend the relevant regulations?" These reporters said very loudly.

"Then everyone will see the crew and related auditions of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in London early next year." Ryan said vowedly.

Those reporters quickly figured out how to write related reports on . Few people who can sit here are fools. Ryan did not hide his intentions much, but they planned to follow him. Do it vaguely.

As for why? This is the Harry Potter series that made a sensation in the entire Western world.

At that time, the crew will definitely become the center of the entire entertainment industry. As long as they enter the UK, how many hype opportunities will they bring to them? How many headlines did it bring? How much related benefit does it bring?

For a long time, they don't have to worry about headlines anymore.

Accompanied by the live broadcast signal from the TV station, this small news conference spread to the UK and even the entire Western world. With the subsequent hype of various media, the Harry Potter series whirlwind was blown again.

The most excited are naturally the British, and the most excited of the British are the children around ten years old. Since they will choose to play the roles of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in the UK then, how about that? Doesn't it mean that they also have a chance?

These are all future things. When Ryan returned to the living room of the villa, the first thing he saw was a pair of innocent sapphire blue eyes. ()
