Chapter 286: It was born from the same root
When Fang Mingyuan and the others came back from Diana's house, it was already after ten o'clock in the evening, and there were not many pedestrians on the street
Diana and her husband personally dropped them off at the hotel, with Joanne and Jessica, where they would stay tonight. With a net worth of millions and a bright future, Joanne naturally doesn't need to take Jessica back to her rented cold apartment. And tomorrow, Diana and her husband will go out to find a suitable new home for Joanne to ensure that she can work in peace!
Kazuki Aso, who stayed in the hotel, was waiting idly in the bar of the hotel. Seeing Fang Mingyuan and them coming back, a happy smile appeared on their faces. Joanne and Jessica had already returned to their rooms, such a big surprise, Joanne really needed time to calm her mood, and Jessica was indeed sleepy. Fang Mingyuan noticed a few familiar faces in the corner of the bar, and it seemed that the team members who had been left behind by them had followed their footsteps and came to Edinburgh.
As soon as she sat down, Zheng Jiayi couldn't wait to tell everyone everything that happened in Diana's house.
"Million List!" Lin Lian couldn't help but be taken aback, Fang Mingyuan was really surprisingly optimistic about Harry Potter, and actually offered such a high manuscript fee to a novice!
Compared with Lin Lian, Aso Xiangyue is much calmer, and compared with Fang Mingyuan's previous records, the handwriting of the million-dollar list is not shocking.
"Kazuki, Jean's team immediately drew up a publishing contract, and I hope that tomorrow morning, it will be on my desk. Another key issue now is that we need to acquire several publishing companies in Europe, Japan, South Korea and the United States, and we need to get people together as quickly as possible
I hope that by the end of the second half of the year, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will be available in major countries around the world! I will discuss the film and television adaptation work of "Fang Mingyuan Zhengsedao" with Sister Qiu Xuan and James, this part is not in a hurry, but it is also necessary to prepare in advance!" Aso Xiangyue and Lin Lian hurriedly responded, this overseas affairs are now in the hands of the two of them.
"Guangli, are you interested in playing a role in this movie?" Fang Mingyuan turned his head to Uda Guangli again. is such a popular movie, and a good thing is naturally to come to your own family first. Starting
"Heroine?" Mitsuri Uda immediately said excitedly. After playing a supporting role so many times, finally have the opportunity to play the leading role?
Fang Mingyuan shook his head, although Uda Guangli has yellow blood, and yellow people have always been obvious in the eyes of white people, but it is also a little different from Hermione's age in the script! Moreover, the Harry Potter series of movies will be released worldwide, and Asian countries will also be released, so Fang Mingyuan does not think she is suitable for this role. Seeing Fang Mingyuan's categorical veto, Uda Guangli couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
"Guangli, if you read this, you will understand. The heroine is still a very young girl!" Zheng Jiayi said with a smile on the side, "I also think that from age, it doesn't match... in the image!"
"Guangli, I can assure you that the Harry Potter series of movies, the future box office of Quan Luo is extremely impressive, even if it is a supporting role, I believe that there will be people who will break their heads in the future and have to fight, don't regret it at that time?" Fang Mingyuan smiled, "I think even if you can't get the heroine, it's very good to be a supporting actress from beginning to end!" Uda Guangli was immediately moved, she firmly believed in Fang Mingyuan's vision! Since Fang Mingyuan dares to do this, then he is at least seventy or eighty percent sure!
"How many are you going to make?" asked Mitsuri Uda.
"I estimate that there must be six or eight Harry Potter series, so there will naturally be almost so many movies!" Fang Mingyuan pretended to calculate.
"Six to eight, so many?" Uda Mitsuri couldn't help but be stunned. You must know that so far, there are few films that can make a trilogy of films! And there are many of them.
"Well, almost!" Fang Mingyuan nodded, looking at Uda Guangli with a smile and said, "How about it, shouldn't you be a little interested?" Stable roles in six to eight movies, and the box office is guaranteed, such conditions are quite generous even if you look at the global film market!
Uda Mitsuri smiled and said, "Since you think it's good, of course I don't have an opinion." The others couldn't help but laugh.
"Beauty, can we sit here?" At this time, a slightly flirtatious voice suddenly came from not far from his side, but it was in Mandarin.
Listening to the vernacular in a foreign country, it was naturally very cordial, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but turn his head to look over, only to see three young Huangshen men standing not far away, talking to a woman who was drinking alone. The woman was facing away from Fang Mingyuan and the others, and she couldn't see her face, but judging from her back, she should be Asian. With waist-length hair, slender waist, and plump roundness below the waist, she is indeed more popular.
"There are other empty seats in this bar!" the woman replied in Mandarin, but with a southern accent, and her voice was as melodious as the cry of a yellow warbler, which made people's hearts soften when they heard it.
"Beauty, the so-called meeting in a foreign country is one of the four joys of life, we are both descendants of Yan and Huang, but we can meet thousands of miles away, isn't it fate?
"So knowing, refers to old friends, old friends, Lou has never known each other before, how can we talk about old knowing?" the woman said coldly.
"This friend is not born once, he is familiar twice, and he will become an old acquaintance after three or four times!" said another young man, grinning, and sat down on the seat opposite the woman.
The woman seemed to hesitate for a moment, then stood up, and it looked as if she was going to change seats! The other two men sat down beside her first, and blocked her way.
Zheng Jiayi frowned, the actions of these three men made her original joy of hearing Chinese completely disappear in an instant.
"Get out of the way!" the woman said coldly, "or I'll call the police!"
"We just met our locals, and we were happy for a moment and wanted to chat with them and learn about the situation in the country. Even if the police come, they can't be forbidden, right?" The young man sitting opposite her said with a smile, "Besides, everyone is in a foreign country, it's not easy, what have we done too much? As for calling the police? At that time, the Chinese people will be discredited in Britain, what good will it do me?"
"Despicable!" Zheng Jiayi said in a low voice, "It is because of the existence of people like them that the Chinese are discriminated against in Britain!"
Although Britain considers itself a democracy, it also enacted the Race Relations Act in the seventies, which outlawed all forms of racial discrimination: racial equality in employment, education, etc., and crimes involving racial discrimination were punished more severely in the same crime. But racial discrimination in the country has not gone away.
Many Britons, who are nostalgic for the glory of the British Empire, have long felt that it is their duty to send civilization to those regions and people who are "lacking civilization".
In the UK, blacks are six times more likely than whites to be stopped and searched by police, three times more likely to be arrested, and seven times more likely to be imprisoned.
Asians are better off than blacks, but they are also discriminated against in many ways.
Among Asians, because most of Southeast Asian countries were colonized by Britain or France in the past, their nationals were similarly discriminated against, but not obviously. The Chinese are different, because of the political systems of the two countries, when the Chinese study in the UK, they are more concerned and treated unfairly by the British government than Asians from other countries.
Cheng Jiayi came to study in the UK, naturally holding a Hong Kong passport, as the Pearl of the Orient, and is also a British colony in Zuihou in Asia, Hong Kong people are treated much better in Britain than compatriots from the mainland. But she has seen a lot of things about her compatriots being bullied by white people.
However, compared with the bullying of her compatriots by white people, today's behavior of being in the same room is even more intolerable to her.
Zheng Jiayi stood up, came to the table, patted the table and said with a smile: "Okay, don't sulk and drink here alone! Come here, everyone is waiting!"
Then, in the woman's astonished light, she said to the three men, "Let Jean!" The eyes of the three people swept over Zheng Jiayi's face, and immediately turned into a stunning appearance!
"Hey, beauty, sit down, let's drink!" The young man sitting across from the woman had eyes that sparkled in the light like a cat that had found fresh fish.
"Invite me to drink? There are so many of us waiting, but we don't have time to drink here!"
Zheng Jiayi pointed at Fang Mingyuan and them, and at the same time unceremoniously took the woman's hand and said, "Come over quickly!
The woman stood up in confusion, and the two men saw that the man opposite had no intention of stopping them, so they stood up and let the woman out. Zheng Jiayi pulled her, held her head high, and walked back like a victorious general
