"Can this book be popular?"

"How do I feel that this book should be aimed at children?"

Linda sent two questions in a row.

Wu Jianye sat there, his expression did not change, and he said with a smile: "This is a film that grows up with children!"

Seeing that Linda didn't understand, Wu Jianye continued to explain: "This one, the initial plan is to write 7 parts, Lane publishes, and publishes one every year, and this series will become a partner for children to grow!"

Although there was only a simple sentence, Linda was shocked by Wu Jianye's confidence, "You mean that as the children grow up, they will slowly change the style of this set?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, but there will be no major changes, just subtle growth." ”

Wu Jianye will not deliberately change the style, the growth of children is imperceptible, and the same, in fact, the adaptation of the movie is like this, according to this routine.

Otherwise, when this group of children grows up, the simple child-oriented "Harry Potter" will no longer be able to attract them.

If it is really according to what Wu Jianye said, the value to be created by this film is absolutely immeasurable, just like Disneyland grows up with children, and now Disney is no longer just a playground for children.

This is the reason why Linda is shocked, but if you want to complete this plan, there is also a big problem, that is, whether this set can become a hit in the hearts of children as Wu Jianye said, and another is that even if this will be a hit in the hearts of children, Ryan Publishing has to formulate a complete publicity plan for this set.

A book is like a movie, if you want to succeed, you not only need to have excellent quality, but also have a marketing plan that matches it very well, so that you can really operate a blockbuster.

"Are you really so confident at all times?" Linda tilted her head and looked at Wu Jianye seriously.

Even though she had known Wu Jianye's incomparable self-confidence for a long time, whenever she saw Wu Jianye come up with a huge plan, Linda couldn't help but wonder where Wu Jianye's self-confidence came from.

Wu Jianye gave her answer: "Because I have never failed, this is the source of my self-confidence!"

After speaking, he patted the sofa and said with a smile: "Okay, this "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is the first of the seven parts, you let Ryan Publishing come up with a concrete and feasible publicity plan, I believe this book will let you see my success again!"

At the end, the confidence on Wu Jianye's face was undoubtedly revealed!

In fact, among the first six books of "Harry Potter", the best-selling is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which sold 17 million copies worldwide, and only the last "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" reached a terrifying 75 million copies!

Of course, this also has to do with the reason why Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last installment!

Linda nodded and said, "Okay, I'll agree on this with Ryan!"

With the "Harry Potter" series, Phantom Entertainment has a complete foothold in the future, imagine that Phantom is holding the Marvel Universe in his left hand, "Harry Potter" in his right hand, and a "Jurassic Park" series hanging in the middle, which basically makes Phantom Entertainment invincible.

And there are so many big-selling series of movies waiting for the Phantom in the future.

In the nineties, "Jurassic Park" opened the way, and the three dinosaur series were released at a rate of one every two years, which was enough for Phantom Entertainment to wait until the end of the nineties to start the foreplay of the Marvel Universe and the launch of the "Harry Potter" series!

This is not only the movie, but the peripheral products driven by these three movies are what Wu Jianye values the most.

Universal has its own Universal Studios, Disney has its own Disneyland, and The Phantom can also build its own Phantom World with these popular movies!

However, these are all things that need to be managed slowly, and Wu Jianye is not in a hurry.

After dealing with these things, Wu Jianye returned to the manor, and a few days later received a call from Linda, who had already discussed with Ryan about the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

However, because this book is for children, the publication time is also set for the summer vacation.

Because of "Jurassic Park", Wu Jianye is also a well-known writer around the world, and now Wu Jianye has launched the "Harry Potter" series again, which can naturally quickly attract a lot of readers, but because the readership of this book will be children, it will inevitably make Wu Jianye's original readers dissatisfied.

However, this is not important to Wu Jianye.

rushed to Lane Publishing, Wu Jianye signed a publishing agreement with Lane Publishing, although Wu Jianye is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Phantom, but these procedures still have to be passed.

This time, Wu Jianye signed an agreement with Lane Publishing, and the 25% share can be said to be the share enjoyed by top American writers.

At the same time, the copyright of "Harry Potter" is also in the hands of Wu Jianye, which is the full copyright, which means that even if Phantom Entertainment wants to adapt "Harry Potter" in the future, it needs to buy the copyright in the hands of Wu Jianye.

After the two parties officially signed the contract, Sean was responsible for preparing the promotion of "Harry Potter".

The closer to the end of the year, the more intense the publicity of the major film studios in North America becomes, just like the New Year's file in China in later generations, each film shows its own ability and does everything possible to promote its own company's films.

Phantom Entertainment also has its own films to promote in this schedule, not only the movie "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", after all, this movie will not be released until Valentine's Day next year, and this time it is Cheng Long's "Western Regions Weilong!"

The previous name of this movie was "Shanghai Noon", but in order to cater to North American audiences, it has been officially renamed "Western Regions Weilong"!

In order to cooperate with the promotion of this movie, Cheng Long also rushed to Los Angeles in Xiangjiang.

Today at the manor in Beverly Hills, Wu Jianye met Cheng Long, and what is even more commendable is that Cheng Long actually brought the seven-year-old small house and his wife Lin Fengjiao with him.

Cheng Long had already married Lin Fengjiao, but because of his fame, he had not made it public, but Wu Jianye had always been skeptical about this reason.

But there must be this one reason, Cheng Long's fame is not at all something that later generations can imagine, and it is already a means of propaganda for idols to make their love affair public in later generations, but in Xiangjiang in the tenth century, Mo said that he was married, even if he was in a public relationship, he was not allowed.

Cheng Long had tried to make his relationship public before, but it directly led to RB fans running to Xiangjiang and having to jump off the building, and he was a collective **, after this kind of thing happened, Cheng Long was so scared that he immediately denied the news.

This is also the reason why Liu Dehao and his wife will hide it for so long.

"Director Wu, we will be neighbors in the future!" Cheng Long looked very happy when he saw Wu Jianye.

After he and Lin Fengjiao quietly got married, he placed Lin Fengjiao's mother and son in Los Angeles and bought his own villa in Beverly Hills.

"Haha, I'll have time to walk around more in the future!" Wu Jianye was also very happy after seeing Cheng Long.

The two can be said to be perfectly staggered this year, when Wu Jianye was in Xiangjiang, Cheng Long was filming "Weilong of the Western Regions" in North America, and by the time Wu Jianye came to Los Angeles, Cheng Long had already returned to Xiangjiang to shoot "Miracle"!

But the happiest thing is not Wu Jianye, but Chen Le, Chen Le has always been a fan of Cheng Long and Zhou Runfa, I saw Zhou Runfa when I was in Xiangjiang before, and this time I saw Cheng Long again, so I was naturally even happier.

A group of people sat in the living room chatting.

The small house was happily all over the house, and it took a while before he ran over and said happily: "Daddy, this place is much bigger than ours!"

Cheng Long laughed, although his villa is also in Beverly Hills, it is still much worse than Wu Jianye's manor.

"Later, Daddy will change you to a bigger villa, but it will be much more difficult to buy a manor like your Uncle Wu!"

Wu Jianye also smiled when he was on the side: "If you like it, you often come over to play!"

The little house nodded seriously and said, "Hmm!"

Cheng Long is also busy now, basically filming in North America in the first half of the year, and filming in Xiangjiang in the second half of the year.

Wu Jianye and Cheng Long chatted about Xiangjiang and the situation of the movie, for example, Golden Harvest has decided to release the family movie "Miracle" in this year's Spring Festival, but his opponent is not weak, it is "The Gambler" launched by Fengge Pictures by Zhou Xingchi and Liu Dehao.

A battle is inevitable!

And Lin Fengjiao and Li Xiuming are chatting about family life, and the two still have some things in common, such as they both chose to retire from the entertainment industry for their own men, Li Xiuming has no friends in North America, and it is naturally very happy to see a Lin Fengjiao who has a lot in common with him.

The two also chatted very happily, and in the end, Li Xiuming even invited Lin Fengjiao to run an advertising company with him, and Lin Fengjiao was also very happy about this.

Li Xiuming doesn't have any friends here, and Lin Fengjiao is the same, but compared to Li Xiuming, Lin Fengjiao is more casual.

It didn't take long for the two to become sisters.

.......

In the evening, Cheng Long received a call from Stallone, and when he knew that Cheng Long was on Wu Jianye's side, he invited the two to his villa as guests.

Cheng Long asked Wu Jianye's opinion and agreed to Stallone's invitation.

In the evening, the three met at Stallone's villa.

After Stallone saw Wu Jianye, he was also embarrassed, the two met for the first time on Mel Gibson's "Lethal Weapon 2", at that time in Stallone's eyes, Wu Jianye was still just a rock star, writer, and director, but after this period of news introduction.

Stallone knew what kind of net worth Wu Jianye had.

turned out to be the behind-the-scenes boss of a large consortium in Xiangjiang, to be honest, at Wu Jianye's level, the gap with them has widened, but now that he sees that Cheng Long and Wu Jianye have such a good relationship, he is also very envious.

The three of them sat together, naturally talking about movies.

Wu Jianye also found out that Stallone very much wanted to cooperate with Cheng Long once, and actively invited Cheng Long to participate in his new movie, but when he heard that Stallone invited Cheng Long's role to be a villain, Wu Jianye knew that this matter was out of play!

Sure enough, Cheng Long replied: "I also very much hope to be able to cooperate with you, but I will not accept this role." ”

Stallone asked a little strangely: "Why? The role of this character is the same as mine, and it is not just the relationship between the protagonist and the supporting role!"

Cheng Long's status in Hollywood is very strange, if you want to say that he is a first-line movie star, it must not be counted, but if you want to talk about popularity, it is enough to compare with Hollywood's first-line stars, even Stallone, who is now in Hollywood, can't suppress Cheng Long.

Cheng Long smiled: "This is actually related to some of my personal thoughts, and there is no problem with this role!"

"What thoughts?" asked Stallone.

Cheng Long glanced at Wu Jianye before he said seriously: "Actually, it's very simple, to put it bigger, I am now the representative of Chinese actors in Hollywood, and when the audience around the world sees me, they will think of Xiangjiang and Huaxia, if I play a bad guy, then the audience around the world will think that the Chinese are bad guys, although this possibility is not very likely, but I still don't want to cause such consequences!"

After listening to Cheng Long's answer, Wu Jianye gave him a thumbs up, no matter how Cheng Long's personal character was criticized by later generations, but in these major rights and wrongs, Cheng Long has never been ambiguous.

This is also the reason why Wu Jianye admires Cheng Long.

Everyone has their own multifaceted nature, and no one has the right to judge the good or bad of this person through a one-sided impression, but in some special things, it is still possible to characterize this person.

For example, Cheng Long!

His private life is indeed not good, but in major national affairs, Cheng Long has never let his Chinese identity be humiliated, which is his insistence.

In fact, it should also be something that every Chinese overseas should learn, although Wu Jianye is very disgusted with the tone that represents who is who at every turn.

But it is undeniable that there is a category of people, even if they don't want to represent anyone, but the impression given to him by the outside world, he is the representative.

After listening to Cheng Long's answer, Stallone couldn't say anything more, but this didn't mean that the cooperation between the two was over.

The two still agreed that they would definitely cooperate if they had a suitable script in the future.

However, Wu Jianye knew that if the normal development of history was followed, the two would only have one chance to make a cameo appearance, and as for the official cooperation, anyway, when Wu Jianye was reborn, he hadn't seen it yet.

Cheng Long suddenly looked at Wu Jianye and said, "Director Wu, why don't you help the two of us create a script?"

Hearing Cheng Long's proposal, Stallone also showed an interested gaze, you must know that although Wu Jianye's status as a director in Hollywood is not high, the status of the screenwriter is very high, and the several movies created by Phantom Entertainment are all best-selling works.

If Wu Jianye only appeared in Hollywood as a screenwriter, it is estimated that many studios would find Wu Jianye at this time.

After Wu Jianye listened, he was actually very interested, if the two could really cooperate in the year of the fight, it would also be a grand event for fans around the world.

However, in Wu Jianye's memory, there are really not many movies that he wants to find with the two of them.......
