Chapter 579： Zhang Qiu's candidates

"The latest news received by this newspaper, the fantasy blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", is likely to miss the Chinese audience. Recently, the reporter learned from the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Lianhe Cinema Line because it involves the'God and Ghost' ,'Superstition' and other factors, the "Lord of the Rings 3" introduced by China Film Corporation is very likely to face premature death."

"superstition?"

Charlize put down the empty cup and looked at Ryan who helped her translate the newspaper across the table, puzzled, "What does this word mean?"

"This..." Ryan couldn't help scratching his head. How could he explain to the person who talked about God and the merciful Lord all day? After thinking for a while, he simply said, "It refers specifically to a state of obsessive and trustworthy people with things, but also bewildered and convincing, and blindly believing, which probably means this."

Looking up, Charlize on the opposite side was still puzzled. Ryan simply gave up his intention to explain and continued to translate the news in the newspaper just now.

"The Lord of the Rings is adapted from the fantasy novel of the same name. The magical, imaginative story and the many characters on the stage have attracted countless readers and audiences in Europe and the United States. However, professionals believe that there are indeed "gods and ghosts" in the film. , And promote inappropriate'superstition' ideas. This type of film is obviously not suitable for our national conditions and will leave a bad influence on the masses..."

With the translation here, Ryan himself can't stand it anymore. This is obviously a deliberate distorted report by some people, and the simplest and most basic entertainment events are unrestricted on the line. Isn't it the expertise of those people?

"Why stopped?"

Putting down the knife and fork, Charlize stood up and walked to the window and opened the curtains here. The sunlight poured in like golden rain. Ryan threw away the newspaper in his hand, walked behind the South African diamond, and hugged it. Slim waist, sniffed **** her blonde hair. "These are like domestic tabloids that specialize in gossip. There is nothing to pay attention to."

Looking back, Charlize kissed his lips, "What are we going to do? Can't stay in the hotel all day?"

"Let's go to the cafe on the second floor first. Chen and I have made an appointment to meet with people from Huayi."

Gently bit on the white ear, Ryan went back to the room and changed into a casual outfit. When he came out, he saw Charlize had prepared a hat and sunglasses, walked over to help her put it on her head, and pulled her out. The room.

Several casually dressed bodyguards. Hanging behind them not too far away.

Although this is one of the best public security countries in the world, Ryan will not be too careless. The threat of Al Qaeda seems to be a joke, but in the event of a crowd watching, it is also a troublesome matter that requires bodyguards.

They stayed at the Peace Hotel on the Bund. When they went down by the sightseeing elevator, they could roughly see the scenery of the former Shiliyangchang.

"Is it about Harry Potter?"

When he came out of the elevator and walked into the cafe on the second floor, Charlize held his arm. Carefully asked, "Is Zhang Qiu's candidate determined?"

"Yeah." Ryan nodded, rolling his eyes around the coffee shop, and quickly found Chen Jiazheng. Pulled Charlize and walked over, "Hi, Chen."

"Ryan, so early."

Chen Jiazheng stood up and shook hands with the two of them. After Ryan sat across from him, he called for two more cups of coffee and said. "Mr. Wang went to pick up Miss Zhao's family. It is estimated that it will take half an hour to arrive."

"It's okay." Ryan waved his hand. "I was bored in the room with Charlie, so I just came out to talk to you."

"Have you received your share?" he asked with a smile.

"Received." Chen Jiazheng seemed to be very emotional, "Six figures, still in U.S. dollars, more than my salary for twenty years here."

"Oh, Chen." Charlize put down the coffee cup and interjected in due course, "When you shoot the movie, this little money will not be considered."

"I want to direct a film." Chen Jiazheng opened his hands, and didn't seem to care much. "I don't know how long to wait."

"You can try to take the route of international financing." Ryan recalled some things he had heard in his previous life. "I heard that there are many international film foundations that will provide financing services for young Chinese directors."

"Ryan, such a movie..." Chen Jiazheng shook his head and said helplessly, "It is difficult to pass the censorship, and it will basically not appear in domestic theaters."

Hearing him say this, Ryan took the initiative to change the subject. These things are not something he can participate in or interfere with. "Darren and the others are preparing a sequel to "Chain Saw".

"I heard." Chen Jiazheng nodded. "Among our graduates, it seems that only three of them have gained fame? Of course, you can't be included."

Charlize laughed first, Ryan turned his head and glanced at her, and laughed likewise.

About twenty minutes later, Wang Zhongjun and someone who seemed to be his assistant, led a middle-aged couple and a girl about fifteen years old, and walked in.

After shaking hands from the other side, Wang Zhongjun introduced the two sides, "This is Mr. Ryan Jenkins, I must know you, the big Hollywood star and the original author of the Harry Potter series. , This is Miss Charlize Theron, the Oscar queen."

He spoke English to the middle-aged couple. It seems that this family has no problem in listening and speaking English.

Then, Wang Zhongjun introduced the family to Ryan.

The little girl's surname is Zhao. Like her parents, she can speak fluent Mandarin and English. She seems to have received some training in Huayi related aspects. The etiquette and temperament are quite good, and she has a faint celebrity style.

Even if you want to come, Huayi and a TV station here held such a huge Harry Potter draft, even if it is just an ordinary girl, it has long been hyped as a famous star.

The two sides sat in the deck, the girl's eyes concealed around Ryan and Charlize, probably curious about what Hollywood stars look like.

"I have read some information about Miss Zhao."

Long before the candidate was determined, Huayi sent the candidate's information to Ryan's hands. "In all aspects, it fits the image of Zhang Qiu in my mind."

If Ryan approved, Huayi's people were completely relieved.

"Mr. Wang." Ryan looked at the actress's signatory, and after thinking about it, he looked at the girl's parents again, "Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, the second half of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" Formal preparations will be made. I hope you can take Ms. Zhao to London as soon as possible. We also need to provide relevant training for her."

"There is no problem with these." Wang Zhongjun nodded first, "We will let someone make a special trip to send Miss Zhao there."

The two parties have reached an agreement in private. The media working with Huayi will have dedicated reporters following the little actor who plays Zhang Qiu, and continue to send relevant reports from the UK to China. This continuous hype can not only Create a star for Huayi, and also carry out a new round of publicity for the "Harry Potter" series.

Ryan briefly asked the girl a few words, and the other party’s answer was quite satisfactory, but what he was most satisfied with was that his appearance could roughly find the cross point between the aesthetics of the East and the West, and he was extremely fluent in English, and there was no problem in communicating, although with some If the accent can't be changed, just change the voice in post-production.

What the "Harry Potter" series wants is only her identity as a Chinese actor, as well as the subsequent hype and propaganda. The others are secondary.

"If you can……"

When the other party left, Ryan handed over the notebook he and Charlize had signed, "I hope you can attend the premiere of "The Return of the King"."

The girl surnamed Zhao looked at her parents and then at Wang Zhongjun before replied, "It's a great honor."

The final main actor of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is finalized. Ryan has spared no effort to further open the Chinese market, and he is also convinced that it is worth it.

Although the surrounding areas of the "Harry Potter" series with the most profitable creations will be greatly impacted by piracy in China, the population base of this market is huge, and some peripheral products cannot be completely achieved without piracy, realizing huge profits. It certainly won't be a problem.

What's more, if you really like it, there are not a few Chinese who insist on buying genuine products.

Rejecting Huayi’s banquet, Ryan took Charlize out for a stroll on the Bund, and finally came to the Oriental Pearl Tower in Lujiazui, where he also had lunch in the revolving restaurant.

In the afternoon, he brought together the heads of Disney Far East and held a brief meeting with representatives from Shanghai. The main topic of the two parties was the Disneyland project.

Disney has been discussing this project with Shanghai for a long time At present, many consensuses have been reached, but there is still a long way to go before it starts.

All negotiations will naturally be handled by professionals. Ryan, the actual owner of Disney, is just like a mascot. It is normal to release enough goodwill and express Disney’s intention to cooperate. In business dealings, he will not become an old friend of the Chinese people, and there is nothing to worry about.

What Ryan has done is very simple. Promote the approval of this project as soon as possible, and it is best to enter the actual operation stage in the next few years.

Of course, his focus is still on the movie. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" is being promoted more and more frequently and widely in this city. You can see this movie on several famous signs on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and the Bund. Silhouettes of posters.

On the first Friday of June, Shanghai Film City was full of people, like the long red carpet of the Oscars ceremony, spreading from the entrance of the film city to hundreds of meters away, tens of thousands of fans gathered on both sides. , Chinese entertainment reporters who have already shown paparazzi temperament, like their overseas counterparts, are vying for the most advantageous position.

"Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is about to kick off. (To be continued...) ()
