PS: Today's four watches!

As a live correspondent for BBC TV 1, Robert? Mitterrand's sense of smell has always been very keen, and after learning the news about Harry Potter, he tried his best to convince his boss to get an OB truck, and he had a hunch, Ryan? Jenkins is likely to make a big move today.

Although the other party does not have British nationality, the vast majority of the British public regards him as their own, and since the death of Princess Diana, he is definitely the most eye-catching public figure in the UK, and the newspapers that publish news about him will always sell a lot more than usual.

The only pity is that the other party is too busy, so busy that he rarely goes back to his second hometown of London to have a look.

Just five minutes ago, the handsome bodyguard suddenly came out and announced that in view of the interest of the press, a small press conference would be held in the front courtyard of the villa about Harry Potter.

Since there is BBC Television standing behind it, and BBC Television is affiliated with Ryan? Jenkins' collaborator, News Corp., Robert? Mitterrand was invited as soon as possible, unlike other reporters in his company, who almost broke their heads for the sake of a few delegates.

"Mr. Mitterrand, the call is connected." His assistant handed over his mobile phone.

Take the phone, Robert? Mitterrand greeted him in the most succinct way possible, and then said almost in a roar, "Coles, I hope BBC1 will immediately insert the news from my side to transmit the past." What the? No way? Tight schedule? I don't care about that, I want my interview to be live immediately! Do you know who I'm interviewing with? ”

"Robert, I think you should understand that even if you are standing at Buckingham Palace now, and the subject of the interview is Her Majesty the Queen or Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is impossible for me to change the program at will." The voice on the phone was filled with the rigidity inherent in the British.

"Bastard, Coles. Ryan? Jenkins is about to hold a press conference! We're going to be the first to report! ”

"What?" The voice on the other side was clearly devoid of the stubbornness of the moment just now.

"Those rumors about Harry Potter should be true, Ryan? Jenkins is about to hold a press conference and will most likely announce the adaptation of the film! Do you understand? That's Ryan? Jenkins and his Harry Potter! That's a novel that has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide! ”

"Wait a minute, I'll ...... Shall I get in touch right away? How many points do you get started? ”

"Ten minutes!"

"I promise! In 10 minutes, BBC1 will definitely be on your side! The stereotype in the voice disappeared without a trace.

Hang up, Robert? Mitterrand instructed his team to immediately inspect the equipment and treat the small press conference with the same rigor that Lu had done with the same rigor as he had broadcast the princess's funeral last year.

After Mitterrand checked the work of his subordinates, he ignored the print media reporters who were still competing for a place, and stared at the door of the villa, anxiously waiting for the moment when it opened.

As a journalist with a bias towards entertainment. He knows the owner of this villa very well, and understands that with his and his works, the status of the British people can easily catch a lot of attention, not to mention the news about the adaptation of the Harry Potter series of novels into a movie.

It's the world's most successful all-age novel, and the most iconic work of the British Empire since the 90s, and the British have waited too long for it to become a movie.

Now that there is finally definite news, the only regret is that for what Ryan? Jenkins wasn't an Englishman, was he?

"Don't you think your decision was a bit sudden?" In the living room of the villa. Taylor sat on the couch, looking at Ryan curiously, she knew very well that before coming to England. This good brother of mine has no plans for Harry Potter.

"Honey, this is an opportunity." Ryan had changed into a formal suit and said as he looked through the window at the busy staff in the garden. "If the British media are willing to give us free publicity, why should we push away their good intentions?"

"No wonder Nat always says you're more of a businessman." The little one wrinkled his nose.

"Alright, dear." Ryan walked over. Rubbing her blonde hair, "Stay here quietly, I'll be back in a moment." ”

Sitting at the small table in the villa, Ryan raised his hand to signal quiet, and waited for more than a dozen reporters to sit around the other tables, let the staff serve coffee, and all the reporters who could come in were reporters from influential media, except for a few photographers, and large camera equipment painted with BBC markings, which were also set up.

A man named Robert? Mitterrand's BBC reporter sent a few words through George, and Ryan nodded lightly to him, quietly waiting for the BBC TV staff to complete the preparations for the live broadcast.

Ryan is not in a hurry, and these reporters at the scene understand that it is useless for them to be in a hurry, anyway, they have already come in, and it is just the difference between a morning and a delay, why be a villain? If you are kicked out, it will be more than worth the loss.

What's more, what they are tasting is the authentic and superb Blue Mountain Coffee and Zhengshan Xiaozhong Black Tea.

"I invited everyone here today to do some face-to-face communication, and we don't need to distinguish between interviews and interviewees, everyone is like an old friend, as a small talk for afternoon tea."

Ryan slowly spoke, the reporter who can enter here will naturally not be the paparazzi, his words instantly shortened the distance between the two sides, "Everyone knows that I used to ...... here"

He pointed to the villa behind him, and said nonsense that he didn't even believe, "I have lived here for more than two years, and I have a different affection for this city, without this special experience, without the influence of British culture, it would not be possible to have the entire Harry Potter series later......"

These words made the British people in the audience suddenly feel that there was a light on their faces, and when they were excited about the miracle created by Harry Potter, a novel with a strong British style, they couldn't help but be entangled because the author was not an authentic British.

"Ryan, can you give me some exact information, are you planning to bring the Harry Potter series to the big screen?" Perhaps it was the relaxed atmosphere in the room that infected everyone, or perhaps it was Ryan's very relatable side that played a role, and these reporters were noticeably less sharp.

"In fact, I've been planning this work since the day the story ended." Ryan raised his teaglass to the reporter, who smiled embarrassedly and continued, "Is it convenient to disclose the specific timeline?" ”

"Let's put it this way." Ryan put the teacup on the table, "After "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park 2", everyone should be able to see that the post-production technology of the film has changed dramatically, and I think the conditions are ripe for the production of the Harry Potter series of movies. ”

Hearing him say this, these reporters couldn't help but be shocked.

"If all goes well, the crew will be officially formed early next year, and then auditions will be held for characters including Harry and Hermione, plus filming and post-production, and I expect the first episode of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to be filmed by the end of 2000 or early 2001 at the earliest."

Just after making a decision, Ryan thought about a lot of issues in a short period of time, and also revealed some ideas in a planned way.

"Will you shoot in the UK? Will all British actors be used, as the newspapers say? "Robert? Mitterrand asked the question that was of most concern to everyone.

"In my plans, the UK must be the first choice, otherwise there are so many landmarks, and it would be a huge expense to make the set alone."

Ryan's smile was like sunshine that infected everyone, causing laughter in the audience.

He continued, "In terms of actors, my intention is to use British or Irish actors as much as possible, like the newspapers say, can you imagine Dumbledore and Voldemort speaking with a Mississippi accent or a Texas accent? ”

Before those reporters could be happy, Ryan's words suddenly took a turn for the worse, "But these are just the preferred ......"

"For what?" Someone wondered.

"In the filming, a large number of underage actors will be used, and I think you may not know much about the UK's "Child Labour Act", which has extremely strict regulations on the filming time of child actors, if you follow the requirements of this law, even after five years, I am afraid it will be difficult for everyone to see the Harry Potter series of movies."

Ryan's plan is simple, let the media blow the wind first, and then let his public relations team lobby the House of Commons, which should be easier.

"What if the House of Commons is willing to change the regulations?" These reporters are very good.

"Then everyone will see the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and related auditions in London early next year." Ryan swore by it.

The reporters were thinking quickly about how to write the relevant reports, and few of the people who could sit here were fools, and Ryan didn't hide his intentions, but they planned to do what he implicitly revealed.

As for what? This is the Harry Potter series that has caused a sensation in the entire Western world.

The crew will definitely be the center of the entertainment industry at that time, and as long as they are stationed in the UK, how many opportunities will it bring to them? How many headlines are brought in? How much of the associated benefit is there?

For a long time, they didn't have to worry about the headlines anymore.

With the live broadcast of BBC TV, this small press conference spread to the United Kingdom, and even the entire Western world, coupled with the subsequent hype of various media, the whirlwind of the Harry Potter series blew again.

The most excited are naturally the British, and the most excited among the British are those children who are about ten years old, since they will choose to play Harry in the UK at that time? Potter and Hermione? Actors in roles such as Granger, doesn't that mean they also have a chance?

These are all things for later, and when Ryan returned to the living room of the villa, the first thing he saw was a pair of innocent royal blue eyes. (To be continued......)
