Located in the quiet town of Alnwick in the north-east of England, Annick Castle is the hereditary castle of the Duke of Orthunberland and the main location for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Harry Potter.

It was raining continuously, and Annick Castle was shrouded in rain and fog, like a fairyland, and Sun Ziming was standing by the window of the castle, watching the busy crew downstairs. There was a kind of admiring look in Douglas next to him, and now he finally saw it, what is a genius director?

Formerly Jesse? Okasaku and Glinton, like storytellers, say that if the boss comes to the senses, he won't shoot a single superfluous shot when making a movie. Legend has it that "Home/alone1" was filmed like this, and the film was sent to Glinton for editing, and it was a classic film as long as it was trimmed in order!

At this rate, I'm afraid that the location of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can be filmed in a month, and the rest is to go back to the studio to shoot and produce special effects and so on.

"Doug, what's going on over there with Oscar?"

Douglas hurriedly put away his reverie and said with a wry smile: "Alexander and Lena are lobbying, "The Last Samurai" is quite sure of winning Best Director, but there is little hope for Best Picture and Best Actor. Our biggest competitor is Universal's American Beauty. ”

The left hand hit the right hand, Sun Ziming also smiled bitterly, he picked out "American Beauty" in the world, and chose Sam against the crowd? Menders came to direct, but he ended up in a big problem for himself!

"Is there any news from Kayo?"

Douglas looked at the staff next to him, and his tone and expression remained unchanged: "Mr. Steve said that someone is manipulating the stock price. But it's not a big problem, don't worry, they can handle it. ”

Steve said so, Sun Ziming had no choice but to put down the matter first and continue filming.

As Douglas foresaw, in this "Harry Potter 1", Sun Ziming was completely shot according to 'memory', and he didn't even shoot a superfluous shot. This is a commercial movie, and Chris Columbus's version is already wonderful enough, so why bother thinking about transcendence? If he hadn't promised his daughter and Rowling, his grandson wouldn't have touched this film, and would have thrown it directly to Chris? Columbus went to shoot.

Time flies, the crew traveled in England and Scotland for more than a month, and three days before the Golden Globe Awards, they finished filming all the locations of "Harry Potter 1", leaving only to go back to the Hollywood studio to continue filming.

……

Back in Los Angeles, Sun Ziming's house became an amusement park, with a large group of children of all ages chattering around a few lucky ones, and even Leonardo, Cameron, and other adult Harry Potter fans came to join in the fun.

"Daddy, you call Aunt Li and ask them to shoot faster!"

Xiao Mingjuan suddenly ran into the study, skillfully climbed on Sun Ziming, and hugged his neck to be coquettish.

Aunt Li? Sun Ziming was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Yingai was filming "Shangshi Palace", but he didn't expect that this adapted "Da Changjin" is still all-inclusive, and even a little kid like Mingjuan has begun to chase dramas!

"Baby, do you understand?"

"I love the clothes, and the dancing and cooking, it's so beautiful!"

Sun Ziming is speechless, he must die beautifully, this is all raised by A Zhifu!

"Okay, Aunt Li will come to the United States in two days, and I'll tell her then."

"Ok", Xiao Mingjuan, who got the promise, quickly dodged Sun Ziming's stubble chin, jumped off him, and continued to play with his new friends.

After listening to the laughter of the children downstairs, Sun Ziming turned his head and asked Jill, "How many people have been installed by the shareholders?" ”

Jill smiled, handed over a copy of the information, and whispered: "Not one, I refused to recruit new employees, and several directors wanted the company to disclose the situation of the screenwriting and directing department to them, but Chris also refused." Now, we're waiting for you to come back and decide. ”

Sun Ziming looked at the information a few times and frowned, as expected, the new directors are all representatives of some foundations or investment institutions, and they are actually inextricably linked to Hollywood. After a long silence, Sun Ziming said in a low voice: "What about your countermeasures?" ”

"Boss, we're the studio, and the core is you and Chris. If they want to make a fool of themselves in the financial market, we just eat at a low price, anyway, the company's annual profit is there, and no matter how much it falls, it will not fall anywhere. ”

After a pause, Jill lowered his voice and said: "Boss, we don't have to worry at all, even if they do their best to suppress our stock price, as long as our finances are beautiful enough at the end of the year, they can only suffer losses!" ”

The stock price of Light and Shadow Company is actually inflated, and it is only because of the box office myths of Sun Ziming, James and Chris that shareholders are stimulated to compete to buy stocks, which makes the stock price go all the way up. Now that the stock price of Light and Shadow has begun to fall back and forth, it is all a few financial institutions that are playing tricks, and those vampires not only want to make a profit in the financial market, but also want to force the company to openly select the inside story of their scripts, so that the film investment fund behind them can profit from it.

Sun Ziming looked at the cunning Jill and understood her subtext, as long as the other party dares to use leverage to short, she will dare to use leverage to buy back shares, and when the new film is released, force the other party to cut meat and close the position.

"Well, when it falls below the issue price, we buy it back. Jill, we are a public company and we can't be as greedy as a financial institution. ”

"OK", Jill sighed in disappointment, since she stated that she would abide by the company's director-centered strategy, she also knew a lot of insiders, such as her boss and a terrifying investment fund. If it is done well, those few film investment funds will not even have the bones left.

After finding out that it was just a financial institution making trouble, there was no problem within his own company, and Sun Ziming was too lazy to care about these things. As long as you are stable internally, Light and Shadow will continue to create a box office myth, continue to push the stock price up, and you can also cut a stubble of wool smoothly!

"Doug, send the script I wrote in England to Chris, and ask him to organize a few people to revise it."

Douglas, who was roasting in front of the fireplace, hurriedly got up and replied, "Boss, Chris called just now and said that it has been changed, and Kayo has gone over to get it." Have you forgotten? Last week in Edinburgh, Kayo came back and you asked her to bring the script back. ”

Sun Ziming slapped his head, he was confused about filming in the past few days, "Okay, you go to Las Vegas." Oh yes, I'll make a call first. ”

Finding Kirk Kercorion's business card from the drawer, Sun Ziming dialed the phone number of the casino tycoon, and smiled in front of his subordinates: "Kirk, I wrote a fairly good script." If you want to go to Las Vegas to shoot the location after filming "Harry Potter", you have to help me coordinate the location. ”

"There's no way, "Harry Potter" is so smooth to shoot, I can't play it for more than half a year, right? I'm scared of resting, and it's too sad to have no time to work! Going to your hotel? Wow, I'll ask Jill first, we're all a little scared of that woman now. You wait a minute, Jill is talking about Oscar next door, I'll call her. Cut, how can the Golden Globes be more important than the Oscars? ”

Douglas hurriedly shouted, 'Jill, boss, let you come over', and Jill also cooperated with a tacit performance.

"Jill, you come to talk to Kirk, I'll go and get busy with Oscar first", Sun Ziming finished speaking, covered the phone, and said slyly: "I'll leave it to you, this is a rich man!" ”

"Understood!"
