Chapter 339: Decision
After negotiating the film matter, Ryan took Taylor and traveled in Paris for two days, the Seine, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, and other places, and the last day, he was unfortunately recognized by reporters, and quickly left Paris by plane and came to London.
"We haven't been to Provin to see lavender yet." As he walked out of Heathrow, Taylor grumbled.
"There will be opportunities in the future, don't you want to see Big Ben?"
Ryan rubbed her head, and as soon as she walked out of the VIP passage, countless flashing lights suddenly lit up, and she could barely open her eyes, and after muttering 'damn it', he firmly blocked Taylor's eyes with one hand, in case the bright light hurt her eyes.
Although the paparazzi in North America are also very rampant, when there are minors present, they will be somewhat restrained, and these guys from Fleet Street are really unscrupulous.
But how did they know they had come to London? Could it be the leaked news from Charles de Gaulle Airport?
"George, hold Taylor."
Before he could give the order, Mr. Bodyguard had already picked up the little girl and covered her face with his coat.
"Hey, that doesn't seem right." When the sound of the camera shutter became quieter, a strange sound suddenly came from the other side.
"No, we've caught a bigger fish."
"Wow, Ryan? Jenkins, now it's developed......"
"Tomorrow's front-page headlines are ......"
Listening to these faint discussions, Ryan knew that luck was enough, these guys were obviously waiting here to capture other people, but he crashed into it.
Obviously, Ryan's presence made these guys excited, even though several bodyguards and airport staff gathered around Ryan, they still squeezed forward like desperate people. Throw out one question after another at the same time.
"Ryan, what are you doing in London this time?" This kind of problem is quite normal.
"Why didn't you come to commemorate the first anniversary of the princess's death?" This is questioning.
"Who was the little girl who was with you just now? What does it have to do with you? What is your name? Is it convenient to reveal it? "This is the curious journalist.
"Ryan, I heard that you want to become a British citizen and become a member of the Kingdom of Great Britain, did you come here specifically for this?" This is a man with a mouth full of trains.
"Mr. Jenkins, I heard from a person familiar with the matter, you are interested in bringing the Harry Potter series to the big screen in the near future, is it here to inspect the location?"
This reporter's question immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the rest of the paparazzi changed the direction of the question almost at the same time. "Is this true, Ryan?"
"Another piece of literature from the British Empire is about to occupy the Hollywood market, what do you think of Ryan......"
Ryan admired the imagination of these people, they really should have written fantasy novels, he looked up at the paparazzi, didn't answer any questions, and left the airport under the light of the flashing lights.
All the reporters followed him. As for the person who originally wanted to capture it, they have long been left behind, and all the movie stars in the Kingdom of Great Britain combined, are not as valuable as his news.
Wait for Ryan to walk out of the airport. A man with figure-eight eyebrows and a bitter gourd face walked out of the VIP passage and looked at the empty airport. I couldn't help but be surprised, "What about the reporter who was specially contacted?" ”
"Mr. Grant, I deliberately pretend to be in the know. To the Daily Mail and The Sun, ...... "a man who obviously looked like an assistant, and said a long list of newspaper names," I have been informed, why didn't any reporter come? ”
Those who deliberately invite reporters do not get the attention of the camera, and those who do not want to pay attention to reporters are in trouble.
The guys from Fleet Street, who had been following Ryan's car, had come to a stop outside his villa in Kensington.
Of course, they didn't leave there, but stayed firmly outside the door.
"We're in trouble, our journey is going to be ruined."
Sitting on the couch in the living room, Taylor is glorifying as he chews on a lollipop.
This villa has always been taken care of by a dedicated housekeeping company, and it is much more comfortable to live in than a hotel or something
"It's not Hollywood, and the paparazzi in the UK are crazy and really troublesome." Ryan packed the little girl's belongings aside and sat down across from her, "If you don't mind a bunch of people following behind, we'll start visiting the places you're interested in tomorrow." ”
"Forget it." Taylor flattened her mouth, she grew up in Hollywood, and naturally knew what those paparazzi were, "I'd rather hide at home and practice guitar than go out and be watched." ”
She winked Ryan's eyes again, "I'm not an adult yet, you have to protect me." ”
"Of course, my dear, no one can hurt you."
Being caught by the paparazzi, especially by the British paparazzi, it is a little difficult to get rid of them completely, even if with George's skills, he can get rid of them temporarily, but Ryan believes that as long as he appears on the streets of London, it is estimated that it will not be long before countless paparazzi will be killed one after another.
The prosperity of the paparazzi in Britain is inseparable from the British themselves, and their enthusiasm for gossip and scandals can be ranked among the top in the world, and the streets of London are full of so-called 'informants' who report the news for the paparazzi in exchange for payment.
Otherwise, with that limited number of entertainment reporters, how can they be so well-informed.
The next day, Ryan found that the number of paparazzi gathered outside had multiplied several times, and there were many reporters from major newspapers, and these regular reporters even walked to the door of the villa to communicate with George and others.
"Ryan, look, George really doesn't give face to the lady, it's as cold as a stone."
Hiding in front of the window on the second floor, Taylor was holding a toy binocular, staring out the door and watching the excitement, "Wow, that looks like a BBC OB truck, right?" Their goal seems to be our family, is there something big happening? Are these guys all crazy? ”
Leaning in front of the window, Ryan glanced outside, the situation is indeed a little wrong, it is not the first time he has come to London, and he has never had this kind of treatment before, the BBC OB trucks have driven over, what is the situation?
Walking over to the phone, Ryan dialed the number, "George, what's going on?" ”
"Wishful thinking on the part of the British, wait a minute, I'll send today's newspaper right away." The phone hung up.
Within a few minutes, George had brought up some of London's most famous newspapers, and Ryan picked up a few, flipped through them, and quickly found news about himself.
"Yesterday, Ryan? Jenkins arrived in London on a special plane, and in an interview with reporters, he tacitly agreed that the trip was to inspect the location of the Harry Potter films, and as the film technology became more and more mature, he finally planned to bring this excellent English literature to the big screen. ”
"Harry Potter is about to start filming, and Ryan himself has acquiesced that a movie era belonging to the little wizard is about to begin......"
"Given that almost all of the stories that happened in the book are in the UK, such as King's Cross train station, the crew must have to shoot on location, and the filming location will definitely be in the UK......"
The famous newspapers, although the reported news are very different from the real situation, are not too exaggerated, and those tabloids who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the things that are published almost make Ryan laugh.
"All the characters in the movie should be all British actors, this is a must! Can you imagine Harry with an American accent? Potter and Hermione? Granger? ”
"Harry Potter is quintessentially British literature, and it would be a disaster if the filming location was out of the UK......"
"People all over the UK are waiting for the day when this series becomes a movie, believe Ryan? Jenkins won't let us down. ”
"Ryan? Jenkins and Nicole? Kidman has multiple relationships with the royal family, and perhaps Her Majesty the Queen should open her mouth and let the series stay in the UK. ”
Throwing the newspaper aside, Ryan silently calculated, in his previous life, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" began casting actors at the beginning of 99, and the huge momentum made the fame of this series deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in terms of publicity, Warner at that time was almost extreme.
Maybe it's time for this project to get started?
The series takes a long enough lead time, casting actors, choosing locations, creating props and sets, negotiating with toymakers and other derivative manufacturers, and so on.
And most importantly, choose the right director.
In fact, for this kind of all-age fantasy adventure movie, there is no more suitable candidate than Spielberg, Ryan is different from Rowling in his previous life, he doesn't care what kind of nationality the actor is, and it is not a big deal to give Spielberg all the rights to select actors.
In her previous life, Rowling's favorite candidate was also an old Jewish man, but Spielberg insisted on letting Haley? Joe? Osment as Harry? Porter, completely contrary to the original author's opinion, and DreamWorks still wanted to mix in it, which was completely rejected by Warner.
After thinking about it, Ryan still gave up Spielberg, he also didn't want to accept DreamWorks' investment, this series would only choose a top film company to work with, and DreamWorks didn't have this qualification yet.
Since Spielberg has been abandoned, it is better to simply follow the method of the previous life, the actors are all British, and the location is also in the UK, and another huge audition will be held, as for whether the most reluctant role will be replaced, it doesn't matter.
The Harry Potter series will only be the characters who make the actors, and those actors will plummet in value after completing the series.
Want to transform? When he was born again, no one succeeded.
Anyway, the preliminary preparation will take an extremely long time, so just leak some news to these guys and stir up the topic first.
Ryan was quick to make a decision. (To be continued......)
