Rebirth In Hollywood

PS:

Four more today!

As an on-site reporter of TV 1, Robert Mitterrand has always had a keen sense of smell. After learning the news about Harry Potter, he tried his best to convince his boss and won an OB van. He had a premonition that Ryan Jenkins is likely to make a big move 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 that publish news about him have sold well. Always a lot higher than usual.

The only pity is that the other party is too busy, so busy that he seldom returns to London, his second hometown.

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

Since there is a TV station standing behind, and the TV station belongs to Ryan Jenkins' partner News Corporation, Robert Mitterrand was invited immediately, unlike other journalists in the same industry, for the sake of a few representatives The number of places was almost overwhelmed.

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

After picking up the mobile phone, Robert Mitterrand greeted him in the most concise way, and said almost in a growl, "Kors, I hope the station can interrupt the news transmitted from my side immediately. What? No Possibly? The schedule is tight? I don’t care about that, I want my interview to go live immediately! Do you know who I’m interviewing?”

"Robert, I think you should understand that even if you are standing in Buckingham Palace and interviewing Her Majesty the Queen or Her Royal Highness, it is impossible for me to change the program arbitrarily." rigid.

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

"What?" The voice on the other side obviously lost the stubbornness just now.

"The rumors about Harry Potter should be true. Ryan Jenkins is going to hold a press conference soon, and he will probably announce the adaptation of the movie! Do you understand? That's Ryan Jenkins and his "Harry Potter" Potter! That's a novel that has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide!"

"Wait a minute, I... I'll get in touch right away? When is it going to start?"

"ten minutes!"

"I promise! There will definitely be a picture of you in the background in ten minutes!" The rigidity in the voice disappeared without a trace.

Hanging up the phone, Robert Mitterrand ordered his team to check the equipment immediately. We must treat this small press conference with the rigorous attitude we used when broadcasting the funeral of the princess last year.

After checking the work of his subordinates, Mitterrand ignored the print media reporters who were still vying for a place, and stared at the gate of the villa, anxiously waiting for the moment when it opened.

As a reporter who is inclined towards entertainment, he knows the owner of this villa very well, and understands that he and his works have a status in the minds of the British people and can easily catch a lot of attention. News of the film adaptation of the Lippert series of novels.

This is the most successful all-ages novel in the world. It is still the most representative work of the British Empire since it entered the 1990s, and the British have waited too long for it to be turned into a movie.

Now finally have the exact news, the only regret is, why Ryan? Jenkins is not a British?

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

"Honey, this is an opportunity." Ryan said, having changed into a formal suit, watching the busy staff in the garden through the window. "Since the British media are willing to promote us for free, why should we reject their good intentions?"

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

"Okay, honey." Ryan walked over and rubbed her blond hair, "Stay here quietly, I'll be back in a while."

Sitting at a small table in the villa. Ryan raised his hand to signal silence, and waited for more than a dozen reporters to sit around other tables, and let the staff serve coffee. All the reporters who could come in were journalists from influential media, except for a few photographers. There are also large-scale camera equipment painted with signs, which have also been 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 the preparations for the live broadcast.

Ryan was not in a hurry, but the reporters at the scene understood that it was useless for them to be in a hurry. Anyway, they had already come in, and it was just the difference between earlier and later, why would they be bad customers? If you are kicked out, it will not be worth the loss.

What's more, what they are tasting is the authentic top-quality Blue Mountain coffee and Lapsang Souchong black tea.

"I invited everyone here today to have some face-to-face communication. We don't need to divide the interview and the interviewed object. Everyone is like old friends. Let's treat it as an afternoon tea chat."

Ryan slowly opened his mouth. 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 was here..."

He pointed to the villa behind, and said nonsense that even he didn't believe, "I lived here for more than two years, and I have a different feeling for this city. I didn't have this special experience, and I didn't have the original British culture. Influenced by him, it is impossible to have the entire Harry Potter series..."

These words made the British in the field feel bright. In the past, when they were excited by the miracles created by novels with a strong British style like Harry Potter, they could not help but because the author was not an authentic The British are entangled.

"Ryan, can you give me some definite information, are you planning to put the Harry Potter series on the big screen?" Perhaps it was the relaxed atmosphere in the venue that infected everyone, or maybe it was Ryan's very friendly personality. While it worked, these reporters were noticeably less sharp.

"Actually, I've been planning this work since the day the novel ended." Ryan raised his teacup to the reporter, who smiled shyly and continued to ask, "It's convenient to disclose 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 film post-production technology has undergone earth-shaking changes. I think the conditions are ripe for a Harry Potter movie."

Hearing what he said, these reporters were shocked.

"If all goes well, the crew will be officially established early next year, and then auditions will be held for characters including Harry and Hermione. In addition to shooting and post-production, I expect the first episode of the movie "Harry Potter" And the Sorcerer's Stone will finish filming in late 2000 or early 2001 at the earliest."

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

"Will the filming location be chosen in England? Will all British actors be used as the newspaper said?" Robert Mitterrand asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"In my plan, the UK is definitely the first choice, otherwise there are so many landmark buildings, just making the scenery is a huge expense."

Ryan's smile infected everyone like sunshine, causing continuous laughter in the field.

He continued, "In terms of actors, my intention is to use British or Irish actors as much as possible, as the newspapers say, can you imagine Dumbledore and Voldemort speaking with a Mississippi accent or a Texas accent? "

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

"Why?" Someone wondered.

"During the filming, a large number of underage actors will be used. I think you may not know much about the "Child Labor Act" in the UK. 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 may be difficult for everyone to see the Harry Potter series of movies."

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

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

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

Those reporters were quickly thinking about how to write relevant reports. Few of the people who could sit here were fools. Ryan didn't hide his intentions much, but they planned to follow what he vaguely revealed. Do.

As for why? This is the Harry Potter series that has caused 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 are stationed in the UK, how many opportunities for hype will they bring? How many headlines did it bring? How much related benefit does it bring?

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

Accompanied by the live signal of the TV station, this small press conference was spread to the UK, and even the entire Western world. Coupled with the subsequent media hype, the whirlwind of the Harry Potter series once again blew up.

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

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