Chapter 570: Star Wars

"When is the second part coming out?Who the hell is Voldemort?Snape?" asked Natalie as she closed the book, her eyes flickering, and she asked curiously.

Natalie spent the whole summer in New York, starring in the stage play "The Diary of Anne Frank", in order to be on Broadway, she turned down invitations to several movies and concentrated on the role, and Zhang Chen also dated Natalie twice in the past few days when she was not busy.

Now both of them are public figures, and they were almost discovered by the paparazzi when they went out twice, and when they met again, they could only choose the summer villa that Zhang Chen had just bought in East Hampton.

Sun, sand, swimming pool, tennis courts, helipad and a small horse farm are spread over 16 acres of land that was built the year before. The previous owner was a partner of State Street, and it seemed that he had lost a lot of money in Goryeo, so he sold the house to get back.

The house was sold along with sixteen servants.

The architecture of the estate is completely modern, with glass as the main design element, and the base color of white is not outdated even after 20 years.

Zhang Chen put down the introduction to econometrics in his hand, "The author of the second part is currently writing, and it may not be finished until next year." Snape is not Voldemort, he is certainly a positive character. ”

"It wasn't Snape who cursed Harry and cleared him of the charge, but I always felt that there would be a reversal later. Natalie tilted her head in thought.

Zhang Chen said casually: "Snape likes Harry Potter, so he doesn't have a good impression of Harry Potter, the son of his rival in love." The worse it looks, the more it must be bitter, and it will be whitewashed in the end. The more good it seems, the more likely it is to be behind it. ”

Natalie wondered, "How do you know Snape likes Harry Potter's mother?"

Zhang Chen wiped a cold sweat in his heart, and said: "I discussed the plot with JK Rowling, and she arranged it like this in the future." ”

Natalie let out a sigh and didn't ask, "You want to make this book into a movie?"

Zhang Chen nodded, and Natalie said regretfully: "It's a pity that Hermione in the book is only eleven years old, otherwise I would be quite interested in this role." ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "Yes, when I saw Hermione in the book, I also felt quite similar to you." ”

Natalie leaned in front of Zhang Chen: "Where do you think it's most like?"

Zhang Chen held back a smile: "The teeth are the most similar." Hahaha. ”

In the original Harry Potter books, Hermione's appearance can only be described as medium to low, and Hermione's two large teeth are described in strong color. Although Natalie's two front teeth are not particularly large, they are also larger than the other teeth, and Natalie has mentioned to Zhang Chen before that she wants to have her teeth straightened.

The two fought for a while, and Natalie pulled her hair: "Tell you something." ”

Zhang Chen put on a deaf look, and Natalie pretended to be light and said: "A few days ago, my agent told me that George Lucas was preparing to shoot a Star Wars prequel and contacted me for an audition. ”

Zhang Chen pretended not to know: "Star Wars?

Natalie leaned on Zhang Chen's shoulder: "I've already been there." ”

Zhang Chen cooperated: "What is the result?"

Natalie couldn't contain her excitement and excitement, and jumped up from the couch, "Heroine!

Although Zhang Chen knew that this was inevitable, he couldn't help but smile and hugged Natalie in a circle, "Nat, congratulations, you are the best." ”

Natalie was very happy, giggled, and Zhang Chen put Natalie down, "What role do you play in it?"

Natalie said happily: "I haven't got the script yet, but George told me about the general character setting, which should be the queen of a planet, similar to Princess Leia." Probably Luke's mother, the wife of Lord Dark Anakin. ”

As she spoke, Natalie showed a sly expression: "There should be a lot of rivalry with the Dark Lord, and it is said that there are also kiss scenes." ”

Zhang Chen showed an unhappy expression: "Who plays the male lead?"

Natalie looked at Zhang Chen playfully: "Jealous?"

Zhang Chen pursed his lips and said viciously: "I'm thinking about whether to buy Lucasfilm and then delete all your intimate scenes." ”

Natalie laughed straight down, "Okay, okay, the male protagonist in the setting is only nine years old, hahaha, I'm laughing to death." ”

————————————————

Tennis, swimming, watching movies, and watching the stars, the two feel more like playmates and good friends than couples, with similar interests and hobbies, and they are both smart, and they get along very easily.

If there is any harm to being reborn, the biggest disadvantage is loneliness.

Zhang Chen was nearly forty years old before his rebirth, although his mentality has become much younger after being reborn, but after all, it is impossible to compare with a real seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, whether it is hobbies or life, he is incompatible with his peers.

A friend like Zheng Kai, who had nothing to say in his previous life, gradually drifted away in this life because of the big difference in the maturity of his thoughts.

Friends of the same age can't be made, and the adult world is too complicated. When Zhang Chen arrived at the loneliness, he realized that he had no real friends in this life.

But human beings need friends, the kind of friends who can feel comfortable and relaxed just by being together.

Natalie actually fills Zhang Chen's emotional gap in this regard, this girl is too precocious and too smart. Sometimes, Zhang Chen thinks that Natalie should also be this kind of lonely patient, looking for her own kind.

After all, for a teenage star who became famous all over the world at the age of thirteen, it is really difficult to find a peer who talks to her on an equal footing.

What's more, this girl is still a precocious genius.

As for the future, the two are too young now, and the future is really too far away, and both of them are smart people, so they are not far away to destroy this rare tacit understanding.

J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has officially begun to be promoted and sold on Amazon and major bookstores in North America.

The U.S. publishing industry is very efficient, and it only takes two weeks to go from typesetting to printing to putting it on the shelves of bookstores. In fact, this is not the fastest, and some bestsellers may have been advertised in all bookstores in the United States in just a week.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone are also Amazon's first foray into the publishing field, and Zhang Chen had already thought about handing it over to Amazon for publishing and distribution when he obtained the overseas copyright of the book.

Now that Amazon's turnover is second only to Barnes & Noble, the largest bookstore in the United States, and its marketing network spreads throughout North America, it is in need of such a bestseller to help them expand their market. As a result, Amazon has invested quite heavily in advertising for the book, and ads for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone can be seen on almost all websites.

Lambert Jackson is an insurance salesman who has been working for more than a decade and has already saved up a little, buying an apartment near Cambridge, Boston, and living with his wife and two children.

Lambert's wife, Ash, is a full-time housewife who keeps the house in order while he works, especially the skill of cooking, which Lambert praises. Lambert's greatest enjoyment every day is to be able to smell the smell of food coming from home in the elevator hall when he comes home, which makes him feel that all the white eyes he receives outside are worth it.

But today, Lambert didn't smell anything special until he opened the door, which made him a little unaccustomed.

Do you only eat salad at night?

"Ash, Ash, I'm back, what's going to be for the night?" Lambert called out several times before he saw his wife come out of the bedroom with a book.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to cook when I was so engrossed in reading a book today. We called it Pizza Bar and the phone number of the pizzeria was on the sticky note of the fridge. His wife, Ash, said without raising her head.

"Reading?" Lambert was a little surprised, Ash had rarely read since he got married, "What book?"

Ash raised his head: "A fairy tale, it should be considered a fairy tale, right? It's called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." ”

Lambert shook his head helplessly: "You can read a fairy tale so fascinating, really." ”

Ash was still concentrating on reading, "Last night I put Melissa to sleep, Melissa asked me to tell a story, and after telling a few Melissa that it didn't sound good, I wanted to hear the story of Harry Potter. I don't know what it is, Melissa told me that a lot of parents in their kindergarten are telling their kids about Harry Potter right now. When I went out in the afternoon, I saw it at the bookstore and bought a copy, and it was really good. ”

Lambert hung up the phone at the pizzeria, and his wife sat on the couch with her head resting on Ash's shoulder and glanced curiously, "What does this book say?"

Ash said excitedly: "The author is really too imaginative, it is said that a little boy got an admission letter, this letter was sent by a magic school, the little boy finally came to the magic school after a lot of things, and the writing is too real, as if there is really this world." ”

Lambert was a quick reader, and it didn't take long to finish the page his wife had flipped to, "A golden ball the size of a large hazelnut with silver wings is the 'Golden Snitcher', and it flies as fast as lightning, and it is the job of the Seeker to catch it." When the Snitch is captured, the team that caught it gets 150 points and a Quidditch match is over... ”

After reading two pages, Lambert was intrigued, "Honey, it's time to turn the page." ”

Writing an emotional drama is like having dry stools for me, and it's too painful to hold back.
