Vol 3 Chapter 182: Complex premiere

It was only a few seconds before the girl asked God to come back. She seemed to have never smiled. She shrugged slightly: "I called Kate, but she has work to do, so" I'm sorry. "
"It's too bad. You know, this is my first novel based on a novel." Rowling didn't think too much, just a little bit sorry, after all, Angela and Kate helped her during her most difficult time. of.
"Yeah, but I think she will attend the premiere when" The Secret Room "is made into a movie." Angela sighed softly in her heart. To be honest, she didn't know what Kate was thinking. Don't think that what the girl just said is perfunctory. Angela did call and Kate did reject her on the pretext of having a job.
If it was Angela, she would definitely make repeated phone calls, forcing Kate to agree with him. But the situation is so complicated now, the girl didn't know what Kate was thinking, so he hesitated and finally gave up the idea.
After taking countless photos, the three children took turns answering some questions, and then walked into the theater with Rowling and Angela. At this time, the reporters remembered that there were two people who were more worthy of excavation at the scene. Unfortunately, it was impossible for the scissors to stop them from asking questions and asking questions, so they could only take time to take more photos.
"Thank God, it's finally warmer." When the reporters' eyes were blocked, Angela finally exhaled, and immediately saw Daniel and Rupert's surprised eyes and Xia Xia's snicker.
"What? Any problem? Can't our enemy be afraid of cold?" The girl spread her hands innocently.
"Obviously, they just didn't expect you to be like this" kindly. Rowling chuckled and relieved the two children.
"I have to say that it was a terrible thing to have a premiere in London in the winter," Angela shook her head and sighed. "I still remember here a few years ago, in Leicester Square, where the Titanic premier The scene in the movie "
Here she suddenly stopped and was slightly surprised. Although the theater has been refurbished once and is more beautifully decorated, she still remembers the layout of a few years ago, and the figure who has already returned to heaven.
"How are you going?" Rowling stopped immediately.
"No, nothing, just" a little bit emotional "Angela smiled and shook her head to collect her thoughts. Although she inevitably sighed, these have passed.
"Let's go, Joe, I don't want to be late after I have already resisted the theater." The girl patted the magic mother's arm.
There are a lot of people in the husband's hall. As mentioned before, this one brings together many outstanding British actors, the old but very graceful Sir Harris, the fat but very cute Robbie Cortrian and the serious but very serious Ellen Rickman of Shinshi had a hard time imagining that this man appeared in his thirties in his 50s. In addition to the makeup artist's credit, Rickman's excellent acting skills and temperament also contributed.
As a director, Chris Columbus will certainly not be present, and his family will also be here. Although some of Chris' children are usually mischievous in this kind of situation, they are quite normal. Besides, it's not a big deal to have more children in the children's movie. It just happens to accompany Daniel.
In addition to this, the producers, critics and some well-reported journalists in the film industry, and what surprised Angela most is that Edkham also came from Los Angeles.
"Frankly, I was taken aback when I received your call and thought you couldn't sleep and wanted to talk to me about life," Angela joked, "I didn't expect you to come to London for the premiere."
"Why, you can come to me but not?" Ed raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not. I'm just curious." Angela rolled her eyes. "When did you become Joe's crowd?"
"Don't be kidding, Angie, this kind of work has great appeal for everyone with childlike instincts," Ed shrugged, "If John isn't able to gain weight and can't pass the security checkpoint, he will definitely come."
"Really? Good, I'll tell John the words intact." Angela nodded somewhat, but she was a little funny in the heart. At first these books were very childlike, but behind them It wasn't that interesting. When the last two books came out, I wondered how Ed would react.
Although Ed didn't care about Angela's "threat" at all, it doesn't mean he won't fight back, so he frowned deliberately after thinking for a few seconds: "Yes, there is bad news to tell you. "
"Bad news? Is there any worse news than John being rejected by the plane because of his weight?" Angela spread her hands.
"Yes, the theater that can show" Broken Back Mountain "may not exceed the house." Ed You sighed.
"How could this be?" The young girl looked stunned. "If I remember correctly, when the number of theaters in" Devil's Head "was the highest, there were persuasive families. Why is there so few" Broken Back Mountain "?"
Although the first trailer has appeared on major television stations, although there are no too many intimate pictures of Gillen Hill and Ledger in the trailer, the debate about this movie has become fierce. Many facts, these arguments It hasn't stopped since she announced the beginning of the Brokeback Mountain novel into a movie at the beginning of the year, just like the debate over Pianist two years ago. But this time the focus is not on Angela's ability, but on whether she should direct such a film.
"A lot of people are dissatisfied with your directing of Brokeback Mountain, especially the conservatives and related religious groups. They think that as the most beautiful cherry blossom fire in the United States, directing all kinds of movies will send the wrong signal to the public." Take it seriously, "Although liberals and groups support you side by side, conservatives should not be underestimated if they want to launch a boycott of Brokeback Mountain. Theaters in Utah have decided to ban the film
"Utah? Ha, I knew it." Angela shrugged a little helplessly. As one of the most conservative states in the United States, it would not be surprising to make such a decision. "The girl rolled her eyes and suddenly reacted." Don't tell you what you can do, Ed! Even if it is for the box office of a movie, you should have a corresponding strategy early! "
Originally, Ed also wanted to pull some things. Seeing that Angela had teased her mouth, she smiled and touched her nose: "Well, the number of hospitals on the day of the premiere is almost the same as that of" The Devil's Head ". However, the number will definitely increase with the show time. Then extending the show time as before, attracting liberals and groups, and working on film reviews. The homosexuality and racial issues are as hot as potatoes. At least there is no problem to recover the investment. ".
Here he paused, then chuckled: "Of course, the premise is that you maintain your level and record."
"That plan, just wait and see." Angela also grinned.
"Well, let's just say some good news." Ed waved his hand. "You may have heard that Coca-Cola offered the exclusive worldwide joint marketing rights for" Harry Potter "for the price of US $ 2.
"Sorry, I just heard the name, but" Don't you think it's too cheap, Ed? "
"It's too cheap?" Ed raised an eyebrow without understanding, and Angela waved. "Although I don't understand business, I can guess that future movie promotional activities will be tied to Coca-Cola. In this case, they will It's still cheap to give more than 40,000 yuan. In the future, there are still six movies to make. If the average box office of each movie reaches US $ 2, think about how much influence Coca-Cola can get and how much profit it can make.
"The average box office reached, just two dollars?" Even with Ed's vision, he was startled by this number.
"Yes, book fans must be movie fans, and non-book fans can develop into movie fans. Of course, to reach this number must be in an ideal state
Each movie can maintain a high quality. Angela spreads his hands, and then said: "And, if operated properly, the" Harry Potter "series can form a perfect industry chain."
"This is it," Ed suddenly laughed. "Do you know, just a few days ago, three toy companies had come to the door with a check and wanted to buy a Harry Potter toy franchise?"
"Oh?" Angela looked unexpectedly. "Ed showed a meaningful smile," Mattel and Hasbro
"Ha, two old acquaintances." The young girl couldn't help but laugh, Mattel has paid her a large amount of portrait fees each year so far; and Hasselblad has sold the film production rights for "Transformers" to date No pay for shooting.
"It's a waste. Kasenberg and several other film companies have asked me several times if they would like to transfer the film production rights of" Transformers "to Hasbro. Ed couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't worry, Ed, I already have a draft, but I hope James can be the director
I heard that you didn't talk well about the previous cooperation? "At this point, Angela simply waved," Forget it, if I have time, I will take the time to ask him to come out and talk, you know, I have been very busy all right, come back to the topic just now, you intend How to do it? Don't tell me things haven't been decided yet
"Splitting, Lego's franchise to Lego, doll's franchise to Mattel, and card game franchise to Hasbro." Ed shrugged. "Steve also said that this might Become a perfect industry chain. "
"It looks like the game department is already preparing for the game of Harry Potter?" Angela smiled, "Think what else? There are too many clothes, magic toys, and flavored beans.
Oh, and you can build theme parks in the future! "
"Okay, Angie, these will wait until today's premiere." Ed had to interrupt Angela, who was getting more and more excited.
"Don't worry, the box office at the weekend will definitely give you a booster." Angela said, squinting not far away, and then she showed a sly look: "By the way, Ed, I think the second" The Secret Room " "Should it be in preparation?"
"That's right, after all, the scene, the actor, and the director are all ready-made." Ed spread his hands in puzzlement.
"Then let me give you all advice, Ed, prepare three new contracts and then take the initiative to contact the three little guys, Angela, with a smile on the place just looking.
"Do you mean that with the film's release, their worth will inevitably rise?" Ed looked at the children who were whispering in the corner. "But they signed three film contracts from the beginning, didn't they?" If you want to modify the contract, you can wait until the third film, "
"Contracts can only resolve stubborn disputes, Ed. You forgot another word called" strike. " When the film version of "Harry Potter" was successful, they were no longer Daniel, Rupert, and Emma, ​​but Harry, Ron, and Hermione in reality! If they make a request to modify the contract, not only all the British staff in the crew will support it, the entire Britain will fall down to their Angela and calmly say.
As if it was not enough, she threw another blockbuster
Heart and. If they choose to shoot two points! Then stop, then. That mouthpiece would have to be remade again. You know kids always grow very fast, almost like a guy like me who still keeps his mouth age.
"Perhaps you were developing your brain at that time." Ed muttered, stunned.
"Ed!" Angela, who had a sensitive ear, immediately looked unhappy.
"Well, I see what you mean," Ed quickly raised his hands and squeezed. "If we propose to modify the contract, we can at least take the initiative and win a better reputation, right?"
"Yes, but please note that we need a win-win!" Angela spread her hands with a smile. "Well, I'm glad to chat with you, Ed, I'm going to find someone else."
Without waiting for the other person to talk, the girl turned and walked elsewhere, while she stuck out her tongue in her heart.
Finally sold out? Well, I admit that I'm a little excited, I should n’t drink champagne on the way, and besides, I walked out of good intentions.
I shook my head and let myself go back to my heart. What are the guys talking about now?
However, she stood in front of her without taking a few steps: "I'm so glad to see you here, Miss Angela.
It sounds familiar. The girl was stunned. This is a young man of about twenty points. The two-handed moustache made him look very delicious. The black-framed men's glasses on the bridge of his nose made him look very handsome. I don't know why it looks familiar.
"Sorry, sir, are you?" William! "Angela suddenly opened her mouth.
The other party quickly made a "hush" action, and looked at Angela's arm around him and pulled her into the corner.
"Hey, can't you just keep quiet?" William said angrily.
Unexpectedly, Angela sneered. If you thought he was very manly before, it would be really funny to compare it with William in memory. But the girl immediately came to her senses, and waited for the annoyed William to open his mouth and then widened his eyes: "How come you are here? Why don't I know you are here?"
At this point, Angela paused, and then remembered that before the words suddenly changed his face: "You! This! No! Yes! Steal! Steal! Run! Come out! Come! Come on !?"
"Of course, why should I wear glasses and put on a fake beard?" William said and intentionally pulled up the beard that was put on his lips, followed by a bit of smug rubbing on the chin: "What do I look like? kind?"
"Like an idiot!" Angela said coldly, "Do you know what you are doing? His Royal Highness the Prince of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ?!"
"Hey, look at you now. It's as if you've been robbed of your favorite toy by anxiety, haven't you forgotten the proper etiquette?" William said with a frown.
"Etiquette? His Royal Highness Prince, who ran out to mix at the premiere of a movie, told me etiquette?" Anong La said sarcastically. "Is there anything more ridiculous than this?"
"Well, Chris, my father knows I'm out, I'm with the bodyguards, and they're just outside." William raised his hands and rolled his eyes. "He just didn't know I was in Harry Potter. Here comes the movie premiere
"It makes no difference." Angela looked at him angrily. "I can imagine what a terrible expression Her Majesty would have had if he knew."
"Come on, Kris, William will not take it for granted that his grandma will not have any other expression except for this indifference.
In the face of this situation, Angela was speechless, and had to change the topic: "How did you come in without being recognized? You need to know that the number of reporters outside is endless."
"Of course I walked by the side door, how could I come in like a fool in front of the eyes!"
"You can come in, please. How can you do that?"
"I got an invitation from Sir Balfour. It took a lot of work to get it, so you should call me Sir Edmond Balver now."
"Or maybe it's more appropriate to add one in the front? Hell! If you want to attend the premiere, you can be generous in your personal capacity, now" Angela grabbed her hair annoyed, and suddenly raised her head: "How can you Suddenly, want to run to the premiere of Harry Potter? "
"Because I" um "that" um "William" um a moment before looking elsewhere and said: "The" Harry Potter "series has become the best-selling book in Britain and the world, and it is the first time it has been on the big screen. So I would love to come and see. And this is the first time I have participated in a movie premiere. "
Here he suddenly lifted his head proudly: "Of course, I will come to see you by the way, although you always make people." Anyway, I have n’t seen you for a long time, it ’s me. Obligations. "
Angela looked at him for a moment, and the twitching in the corner of her mouth did not stop. After a while, she grabbed William's corner of clothing and shoved: "You can't lie to me, William, I'll take you outside and ask someone to take you home. . "
"Hey, hey, I said the bodyguard was out there, and my father knew
"If I don't shut up again, I'll call my grandfather and let him inform His Majesty!"
"Hell, have you heard me say Gao!"
Just then, Mayvis's voice rang in Angela's ear: "Prince William was right, his bodyguard was outside.
