Although Beverly Hills is heavily secured, there are still some non-resident cars parked around the corner all year round. In order to get first-hand news, many media outlets even buy property in Beverly Hills, allowing their reporters and paparazzi to live here, so that they can follow and interview celebrities and celebrities at any time. Some big-name celebrities often squat at the door of some reporters and paparazzi, and even the trash cans at the door of their homes will be professionally inspected as soon as possible.

Sun Ziming enjoyed this treatment, as long as he was in Beverly's estate, there were often four or five cars parked at the door, no matter the wind or rain, the windows facing the gate were always ajar, so that it was convenient to take pictures at any time.

It's no wonder that reporters and paparazzi are so dedicated, because the American people love entertainment, and gossip news can increase the sales of newspapers and magazines and the ratings of TV stations. And entertainment reporters and paparazzi are too profitable, not to mention other media, ESPN alone pays tens of millions of dollars in bonuses to reporters and paparazzi every year.

……

The reporters who were squatting outside saw that Sun Ziming did not come out in the car, and there were two great directors James Cameron and Chris Columbus next to him, and they were immediately excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. As for J. K. Rowling, a woman with a good temperament, completely ignored that this woman was a female writer that China Ming knew in England, and she could dig all the clean.

As soon as Sun Ziming arrived at the gate, reporters immediately swarmed up, but they all stood outside the boundary between his private domain and the public area. The United States is not Asian, and it is illegal to enter other people's territory without the permission of the owner, so that journalists will not cause unnecessary trouble.

"Ming, can you tell us about Independence Day?"

These reporters are quite sophisticated, and they didn't ask about Sun Ziming's deceased wife.

Sun Ziming, who was standing in his private territory, had a professional smile on his face, pulled Rowling over from behind, and introduced: "No, the movie is still revising the script, so it's inconvenient to disclose." I'd like to introduce you to a friend, J.K. Rowling, a talented writer I met when I was working on Braveheart in Scotland. I also bought the rights to adapt one of her novels for $2 million. ”

The reporter listened quietly, only the flash lights kept ringing, although these have long been known, but the point must be the latter words, China Ming could not be so solemnly introduced, a person who has no news value in everyone's eyes.

How the reporters behaved, Sun Ziming was also willing to continue to break the news, "Everyone thinks that "Home/Alone" is the best gift I can give to my children, but in fact, you are all wrong. In the near future, I'll be bringing Ms. Rowling's novel to the big screen, and everyone will know that that's the best gift for kids! What you may not know is that when I first saw Ms. Rowling's work, I couldn't believe my eyes, she had such a rich imagination! ”

After Sun Ziming's free publicity, Chris Columbus next to him also said in a timely manner: "Everyone, just now I discussed with Ming and wanted to shoot Ms. Rowling's novel, but he refused." Trust us, it's definitely a very good work, and the best children's literature I've ever seen. ”

James, who knew that he was being used, couldn't get angry at his few friends, so he had to skillfully say: "Everyone has to believe the vision of Ming and Chris, they are the best children's comedy directors in Hollywood!" They say it's a great work, then it must be a great work. ”

Wow, three great Hollywood directors recommend a woman's novel at the same time, which is not a small news! The reporters immediately threw the question to J? Rowling, fortunately, Brian told her not to say anything, just keep it secretive, otherwise they would definitely be at a loss in front of these sharp-tongued reporters.

J.K. Rowling stepped back at the right time and stood behind Brian, and the reporters foolishly changed the subject back to Sun Ziming.

"Ming, what's the name of the novel?"

"Harry Potter will be available in half a month. I hope that the children will build yì, what kind of little protagonist they want to see. Okay, we're going to eat, please give way. ”

Dinner was arranged at the Montage Hotel where J. K. Rowling was staying. Cameron, taking advantage of everyone's ordering, roughly flipped through a few pages of "Harry Potter", and was fascinated after only two or three minutes of reading.

"Sir, how ripe is your steak?"

"Oh, you can do it."

"What wine do you want?"

"Whatever, go away, don't get in my way!"

It was very embarrassing to see the waiter standing there, next to Chris? Columbus had no choice but to help him order food. After politely accompanying the guests to dinner, James Cameron said hello to everyone and walked away with the novel, only to blame "Harry Potter" for being too attractive.

……

When Sun Mingjuan knew that J.K. Rowling was the author of "Harry Potter", she pestered her to inquire about the content of the second episode, and after listening to the second episode, she wanted to listen to the third episode. Rowling's daughter is not around, Xiao Mingjuan is beautiful and cute and has no mother, Rowling unconsciously transferred part of her mother's love to her, and the two are tired of being together every day like mother and daughter.

With Xiao Mingjuan as a link, a group of half-grown children such as Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman in Hollywood, as well as a group of big stars such as Fanny, Drew, Cameron, and Chris, all began to get close to Rowling, and after reading her "Harry Potter", they admired her so much that they helped her promote her in various public occasions. With their publicity, Hollywood began to set off a "Harry Potter" craze, and the stars who read the novel added fuel to the fire, and in a short period of time, "Harry Potter" became popular all over the United States.

When Sun Ziming started filming "Independence Day", he actually found that Will Smith and they were fine, and they were discussing whether Harry Potter would marry Hermione Granger when he grew up.

"Ming, do you think you will marry?"

Americans are really weird, in addition to believing in God, they believe in love, and little boys of a few years old know how to give gifts to please the little girls they like, no wonder they ask this.

"N0, I don't know, but I know that if you want to shoot it three more times, I don't mind why I'm nicknamed 'Tyrant on the set'!"

Will, the black boy, shrank his neck and quickly slipped away.

Not long after, the crew adjusted the camera position to continue filming, Sun Ziming pulled Roland and whispered: "This one, you come to shoot, you think it's OK, just call it, and if it doesn't work, do it again." ”

“Think/you/boss”

Rowland? Emmerich is worthy of being a great director in the future, and after shooting a few scenes that dissatisfied Sun Ziming, and after he patiently instructed him a few times, he began to be proficient in on-site scheduling and actors' performances.

"Very good, after filming this one, write it yourself or find a script, and if you invest less than 30 million, I will invest in you."

“Think/you/boss”

Roland is indeed very talented, and by the time the film was filmed, he had already mastered the crew with ease. Sun Ziming is also happy to sit on the set every day to read the script, and when filming starts, he will scan the monitor a few times.

On this day, while filming the scene in the desert, Sun Ziming continued to stay under the parasol and pick out the script, Roland suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, God! ”

"What's wrong?"

Roland pointed to the newspaper and was shocked: "Harry Potter has sold four million copies in a month!" God, the second to tenth places don't add up to half as much! ”

Sun Ziming glanced at the newspaper, and Will, who was putting on makeup, also surrounded them. Everyone knew that "Harry Potter" was selling well and children were discussing it, but they didn't expect it to set a North American book sales record so quickly.

Throwing the newspaper to others, Roland looked at Sun Ziming in shock, and his lips trembled with excitement. The actors didn't spin as fast as he did, and they had never been to Digital Light & Shadow, but Roland knew what Tim was up to and knew what was going to happen.

Sun Ziming also happened to finish reading a script, stretched his waist, and saw that Roland was so out of shape, and said with a smile: "What are you excited about?" Does it have anything to do with you? ”

yes, what does that have to do with you? Although it had nothing to do with him, Roland was still just as happy, leaned in front of Sun Ziming, and whispered: "Boss, according to what Rowling said, this is a seven-episode novel, so aren't you?" ”

Harry Potter will be the highest-grossing movie in the world, with a total box office of more than $7 billion! After the company goes public in the future, with the predictable income of this series, it will also create a miracle of wealth. And the original cost of creating the miracle of zào was only 2 million US dollars.

A few years later, when "Harry Potter 1" created a box office myth, J.K. Rowling's novel had become a dollar money printing machine, and Brian wanted to negotiate with Sun Ziming Film Studio, a light and shadow company, to increase the price and box office share of the script adaptation rights. And he is quite sure that even if he compensates the former boss's personal studio for liquidated damages, it will allow Rowling to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in additional income.

However, Brian's actions to fight for the legitimate interests of his clients were stopped by Rowling, who had reunited in her family. Her reasoning is simple: she is grateful that China Ming has saved her from embarrassment, and that the value she has created is building a university that will benefit tens of thousands of young students.

A few years later, at the opening ceremony of a university with first-class infrastructure and first-class faculty, Sun Ziming made an exception and placed the pedestal of J. K. Loland in front of the university's library. At some point in the future, a bronze statue of J. K. Rowland will be placed on a pedestal by future rectors to commemorate the contribution of this outstanding Scottish writer to the University.

Far away, what Sun Ziming is looking forward to most now is the good news from the other side of the ocean. Because I don't want to have a tense relationship with everyone, the donations to Soochow University and Fu Jen University have always been only stored in the accounts of Zài Taiwan, and have not been officially handed over. If it weren't for the fact that he was famous enough and well-known for subsidizing education, people would still think that they would regret it.
