"The latest news obtained by this newspaper, the fantasy blockbuster "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", is likely to miss the Chinese audience. Recently, the reporter learned from the relevant person in charge of Shanghai Lianhe Cinema Line that because of the factors involved in 'gods and ghosts', 'superstition' and other factors, "The Lord of the Rings 3" introduced by China Film Company is very likely to face an untimely death. ”

"Superstition?"

Charlize put down the empty cup and looked at Ryan, who was helping her translate the newspaper across the table, puzzled, "What does that word mean?" ”

"This ......" Ryan couldn't help but scratch his head a little, how to explain the person who talks about God and the merciful Lord all day long? After thinking about it, he said simply, "It refers to a state of obsessive trust in things, and it is also a confused belief and blind belief, which is probably what it means." ”

Looking up, Charlize on the other side was still puzzled, Ryan simply gave up his intention to explain and continued to translate the news in the newspaper just now.

""The Lord of the Rings" is adapted from the fantasy novel of the same name, and the magical, imaginative story and many characters full of personality have fascinated countless European and American readers, but professionals believe that there are indeed 'gods and ghosts' in the film, and the promotion of inappropriate 'superstition' ideas, this type of film is obviously not suitable for our national conditions, and will leave a bad impact on the masses......"

Translated here, Ryan himself can't stand it, this is obviously some people's deliberate distortion of the report, the simplest and most basic entertainment events are unlimited, isn't it their specialty?

"Why did it stop?"

Putting down the knife and fork, Charlize stood up and walked to the window, opened the curtains, the sun poured in like golden rain, Ryan threw away the newspaper in his hand, walked behind the South African diamond, hugged his slender waist, and sniffed her gold. "These are like tabloids that specialize in gossip in China, and there is nothing to pay attention to."

Turning around, Charlize kissed him on the lips, "What are we going to do?" You can't stay in a hotel all day, can you? ”

"Let's go to the café on the second floor first, and Chen and I have made an appointment to meet with people from Huayi."

Biting lightly on the white ear, Ryan went back to the room to change into casual clothes, and when he came out, he saw that Charlize had already prepared a hat and sunglasses, walked over to help her put them on her head, and pulled her out of the room.

Several bodyguards dressed casually. Not far away, they hung behind them.

While this is one of the safest countries in the world, Ryan doesn't take it too lightly, and the al-Qaeda threat seems like a joke, but if you are watched, it is also a nuisance that requires bodyguards.

The place where they stayed was at the Peace Hotel on the Bund, and when they took the sightseeing elevator down, they could roughly see the scenery of the former ten-mile ocean.

"It's about Harry Potter?"

As he stepped out of the elevator and into the second-floor café, Charlize took his arm. asked with concern, "Is Zhang Qiu's candidate confirmed?" ”

"Hmm." Ryan nodded, his eyes wandered around the café, and he quickly found Chen Jiazheng. Pulling Charlize over, "Hi, Chen." ”

"Ryan, so early."

Chen Jiazheng stood up and shook hands with the two. After Ryan sat down across from him, he called for two more cups of coffee before he spoke. "Mr. Wang went to pick up Miss Zhao's family, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour to arrive."

"It's okay." Ryan waved his hand, "I was bored in the room with Charlie, and I just came out to talk to you." ”

"Did you receive your share?" He asked with a smile.

"Roger." Chen Jiazheng seemed to be very emotional, "Six figures, or dollars, is more than my salary here for 20 years." ”

"Oh, Chen." Charlize put down the coffee cup and interjected at the right time, "When you make a movie, this money will not be in your eyes." ”

"I want to direct a film on my own." Chen Jiazheng spread out his hands, and didn't seem to care much, "I don't know how long I have to wait." ”

"You can try to go the international financing route." Ryan thought back to some of the things he had heard in his previous life, "I heard that there are many international film foundations that provide financing services for young directors in China. ”

"Ryan, such a movie ......" Chen Jiazheng shook his head and said helplessly, "It is difficult to pass the censorship, and it will basically not appear in domestic theaters." ”

Hearing him say this, Ryan took the initiative to change the subject, these things are not something he can participate in or interfere with, "Darren, they are preparing for a sequel to "Saw". ”

"I heard." Chen Jiazheng nodded, "Among our group of graduates, it seems that the three of them have made a name for themselves?" Of course, you can't be included. ”

Charlize was the first to laugh, and Ryan turned his head to look at her, smiling as well.

After about twenty minutes, Wang Zhongjun and what appeared to be his assistants, led a middle-aged couple and a little girl about fifteen years old, walked in.

After shaking the hand handed over by the other party, Wang Zhongjun introduced the two sides, "This is Ryan?" Mr. Jenkins, you must know that the big Hollywood star and the original author of the "Harry Potter" series, this is Charlizer? Miss Theron, Oscar-winning actress. ”

He spoke English to the middle-aged couple, and it seemed that the family had no problem listening to English.

Then, Wang Zhongjun introduced the family to Ryan and the others.

The little girl's surname is Zhao, like her parents, she can speak fluent Mandarin and English, and seems to have received some training in Huayi-related aspects, and her etiquette and temperament are not bad, and she faintly has a little star demeanor.

Come to think of it, Huayi and a TV station here held such a huge Harry Potter talent show, even if it was just an ordinary girl, she had already been hyped into a star with a certain reputation.

The two sides sat in the booth, and the girl's eyes were hidden on Ryan and Charlize, probably curious about what Hollywood stars looked like.

"I've read some of Miss Zhao's information."

As early as before the candidate was determined, Huayi sent the candidate's information to Ryan, "In all aspects, it is very suitable for the image of Zhang Qiu in my mind." ”

Ryan's approval can be regarded as completely relieving the people in Huayi.

"Mr. Wang." Ryan looked at the actress's contractor, thought about it, and then looked at the girl's parents, "Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will be officially prepared in the second half of the year, I hope you can take Miss Zhao to London as much as possible, and we still need to train her in the relevant fields." ”

"None of this is a problem." Wang Zhongjun nodded first, "We will have someone send Miss Zhao over." ”

The two sides have already reached an agreement in private, and the media cooperating with Huayi will have special reporters to follow the little actor who plays Zhang Qiu, and continue to report from the UK to China, so that the continuous hype can not only create a star for Huayi, but also carry out a new round of publicity for the "Harry Potter" series.

Ryan asked the girl a few words, and the other party's answer was decent, but what satisfied him the most was that the appearance could roughly find the intersection of Eastern and Western aesthetics, and he was extremely fluent in English, and there was no problem with communication.

The "Harry Potter" series only wants her identity as a Chinese actor, as well as the boos of the follow-up hype and publicity, and everything else is secondary.

"If you can......"

When the other party said goodbye, Ryan handed over the notebook he had signed with Charlize, "I hope you can attend the screening of "The Return of the King". ”

The girl, surnamed Zhao, looked at her parents and then at Wang Zhongjun before replying, "It's a great honor." ”

The final main cast of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" has been finalized, and Ryan has spared no effort to further exploit the Chinese market, and he is sure that it will be worth it.

Although the most profitable peripherals of the "Harry Potter" series will be greatly affected by piracy in China, the population base of this market is huge, and some peripheral products cannot be completely pirated to achieve, so achieving huge profits will certainly not be a problem.

What's more, if you really like it, there are not a few Chinese who insist on buying genuine versions.

Declined Huayi's invitation, Ryan took Charlize out for a walk around the Bund, and finally came to the Oriental Pearl of 6 Mouths, and had a lunch in the revolving restaurant.

In the afternoon, he met with the head of Disney's Far East Company and held a brief meeting with representatives of Shanghai, and the main topic of conversation between the two sides was the Disneyland project.

Disney has been talking with Shanghai for a long time about this project, and a lot of consensus has been reached, but there is still a long way to go before it can be launched.

All negotiations will naturally be handled by professionals, Ryan, the actual owner of Disney, is just like a mascot, releasing enough goodwill, and expressing Disney's intention to cooperate, anyway, this is a normal business dealing, he will not become an old friend of the Chinese people, there is nothing to worry about.

What Ryan did was simple, push the project through approval as soon as possible, preferably in the next few years, and then enter the actual operation stage.

Of course, his focus is still on the film side, and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has become more and more frequent and widespread in the city, and the movie poster can be seen on several famous signs on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and the Bund.

On the first Friday of June, the Shanghai Film City was crowded with people, like the long red carpet of the Oscars, from the entrance of the cinema to a few hundred meters away, tens of thousands of fans gathered on both sides, and the Chinese entertainment reporters, who were already quite paparazzi, also competed for the most advantageous position, just like their overseas counterparts.

"The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is about to kick off. (To be continued......)
