How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 288 Paving the way for the [Harry Potter] derivative film

In the reception hall prepared for the premiere ceremony.

Since the location is London, almost all the people coming and going in the hall are from the British film and television industry, and there are very few non-British film and television entertainers.

This made Zhang Nan's figure look a little different.

But fortunately, Zhang Nan's alternative did not usher in exclusion, but ushered in the flattery and flattery of many people.

Without it.

Because it can be said that the artists who were able to come to this reception hall, this trip is all with the idea of ​​"Harry Potter", the sequel movie with a global box office of 9.74 million US dollars.

But Zhang Nan's appearance can't be said to be a joke.

Because [Harry Potter 2], as the sequel to [Harry Potter 9.74] with a global box office of 1 million US dollars, the popularity is not small.

However, Zhang Nan's self-directed and self-performed "Doomsday Rebirth 23.4" with a global box office of 1 billion U.S. dollars is obviously a level higher.

It can be said that although Zhang Nan played Voldemort who had little role in the early stage, the current character's popularity and status are not high.

But Zhang Nan's status as a performer is quack, stronger than the three little ones in the protagonist group.

However, Zhang Nan just kept smiling and responded politely to this wave of friendships with British film and television artists, and he had no idea of ​​investing in friendships.

Without it.

Zhang Nan is more interested in the British film and television industry, and there are only two people.

One is Juan Fu, who plays the new version of Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who.

One is the Dutch brother, Marvel's new version of Spider-Man.

But for these two people, the former is one of the few people in the entire British film and television industry who has not participated in the "Harry Potter" series, and the latter is only a few years old now, and Zhang Nan can't even meet him on this occasion.

However, Zhang Nan just dealt with it for a while. As the organizer of the premiere, David Morris, the president of Warner Pictures, walked over, leading a person behind him, and the artists around him left with interest.

"Zhang, when I heard that you were looking for cooperation in the release of [Doom Rebirth 1], I tried my best to push this matter to the board of directors, but I couldn't hold back my thighs, and I still couldn't influence the board's decision in the end.

However, the box office of [Doomsday Rebirth 1] is so good now, but it made me breathe a sigh of relief on Warner's board of directors a few days ago.

Zhang, if there is any need for cooperation in [Doom Rebirth 2], please contact me directly. This time, I promise to convince the Warner Board of Directors to provide strong support for [Doom Rebirth 2]. "

Listening to David Morris' nonsense, Zhang Nan smiled and didn't take it seriously, and didn't say anything.

Just sighing.

The global box office of 23.4 billion U.S. dollars is indeed very effective. Even the president of Warner couldn't help but want to try it when he saw him, to see if he could touch the cake.

But Zhang Nan got this piece of cake with great difficulty, so how could he be willing to take it out again.

Seeing Zhang Nan's attitude, David Morris also knew that he was delusional. He was a little too delusional, so he changed the subject in a hurry, and introduced Zhang Nan to come with him.

"Zhang, let me introduce you, JK Rowling, the author of the [Harry Potter] series of novels, just after seeing your appearance on the red carpet, Rowling said that she seemed to have seen it, compared to the Voldemort in her mind, And Voldemort, who is extremely domineering and shocking, is full of inspiration for a while, so I want to come and get to know you."

Zhang Nan was taken aback when he heard that?
I was so domineering and shocking on the red carpet just now?
I didn't feel it!
I just go out and walk normally.

However, Zhang Nan carefully recalled the picture of himself walking on the red carpet just now, and after a while, he found that there seemed to be something like this.

Just like the situation in the entire reception hall, his position is too prominent, and even the limelight of the [Harry Potter] series was suppressed by him, so he stands out from the crowd, unlike the [Harry Potter] series. Voldemort's aura is indeed somewhat similar.

"It's my honor to be able to provide some inspiration to Ms. Rowling. I hope that Ms. Rowling can add more roles to me in the follow-up [Harry Potter] series." Zhang Nan had many thoughts, but he didn't reply. slow.

JK Rowling listened to Zhang Nan's reply so politely, so she was naturally amicable.

But the two are not very familiar with each other, and there are too many British artists around who want to say hello to JK Rowling, so the three of them only chatted for a while, and JK Rowling left alone, leaving Zhang Nan and Warners president David Morris stayed together.

As David Morris who single-handedly promoted [Harry Potter 1], it can be said that he is very complacent at this time.

I'm so awesome in my words, I'm about to overflow my words.

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Nan couldn't bear it any longer. It was also to lay the groundwork for his future operations, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, "David, I heard that the [Harry Potter] novel Rowling has almost finished writing the fifth volume, and it will be released soon?"

David Morris nodded upon hearing the words, "If nothing else happens, it will be released in June next year."

"Why is there such a long interval this time? Wasn't it always one a year before?" Zhang Nan asked guidingly.

David Morris felt something was wrong when he heard the words, but he didn't feel it for a while, so he could only continue to reply: "Rowling said that the creation encountered some bottlenecks, and in order to ensure the quality, it was delayed for some time."

In fact, the fifth part of the novel has been delayed for so long, and the outside world has also produced some rumors about JK Rowling's exhaustion.

However, due to the perfect film adaptation results of [Harry Potter 1], this trend was temporarily suppressed.

"I see. Did Rowling tell you, the president of Warner Bros., about the finale of [Harry Potter]? I'm actually a fan of [Harry Potter], and I'd like to know more about it. What is the ending of this book?" Zhang Nantu asked in a daze.

Although the meaning of Zhang Nan's remarks is more subtle, David Morris, who can achieve the position of Warner's president, is not a fool.

From Zhang Nan's words, Zhang Nan's concern about how many movies in the "Harry Potter" series can be heard can be heard.

Then David Morris broke out in a cold sweat.

Because he thought about the current situation of Warner Pictures, the entire Warner Pictures went up and down, and the number of projects that could be counted was the [Harry Potter] series.

And seeing how hard it was for JK Rowling to hold back "Harry Potter 5", it can be expected that the entire "Harry Potter" series will not be too long.

MGM has a series like [007] that can be shot over and over again, and a few inadvertent tricks have ended up in the current situation that is about to go bankrupt.

Wouldn't it be even worse if Warner Pictures lost [Harry Potter].

"Zhang, if you have anything to say, don't play around with me. I'm not very smart."

Listening to the president of Warner Pictures telling himself that his brain is not very sharp, Zhang Nan felt that his outlook on life had been strongly impacted, so he spit out without a mouthful.

But fortunately, Zhang Nan held back in the end, and said, "I'm not playing around in circles, I'm just a [Harry Potter] fan, and I'm asking this question to see if I can get a spoiler from you.

But if there is any other meaning, it's just that "The Lord of the Rings 2" will be released in two days, so I will go there.

Moreover, David, you also know that when I was filming [Survival of the Last Days 1], the president of New Line, Alan Toby, gave me a lot of support.

This time he saw that the [Lord of the Rings] series was coming to an end, and he was a little worried about the future stock price of his company, so he complained to me, so I tried to think of a way. "

At the end of the conversation, Zhang Nan sold a pass, and did not speak any more, and did not leak a single word.

And David Morris was a little anxious when he heard the words, "What can I do?"

"It's just an idea in my heart at the moment. I can't say if it works. Besides, this is only the second part of the [Harry Potter] series, and it will take a long time. I will tell you when I try out the method."

After speaking, Zhang Nan turned around and left, no matter how anxious David Morris yelled, he didn't look back, it was enough to whet his appetite.
