At this time, Jiang Yanzheng and a group of people came to sit down in a small screening room with strict confidentiality measures.
The moment he sank into the soft sofa, even Jiang Yan, whose body was as strong as iron, felt quite comfortable at this moment.
He is so busy these days. Since the release of "joey3" on the 16th, Jiang Yan's time has been filled with various announcements.
Radio, interviews, advertising shoots, etc.
In addition to the announcements of these singers, he also participated as a shareholder of Warner Records, owner of Star Cinema, founder of the "YouTube" website, prototype of aj "Zone of the Wind" sneakers, owner of the "Zone of the Wind" trademark, and Hollywood screenwriter
Various project meetings, seminars, cocktail parties, etc.
Such a high-density itinerary was unprecedented, so much so that Jiang Yan himself felt quite tired.
Fortunately, his income is quite considerable these days.
After Jiang Yan's career in the United States, it is difficult to estimate the specific income, because this time is different from the past. Many projects do not provide Jiang Yan with a fixed income.
For example, AJ sneakers are negotiated for endorsement shares, and the collaboration songs with Britney Spears are also counted as song income shares. The rest of the commercial endorsement authorization of the "Son of the Wind" trademark has also been shifted from the previous fixed fee to a share, and it has only just been done so far.
Plant the seeds.
It will take at least three months for these incomes to be settled, so counting them as income does not make much sense at the moment.
But judging from the current statistics of various fixed income announcements, in the past two months in the United States, Jiang Yan has earned at least 30 million U.S. dollars, of which he earned 7 million from two songs in the Victoria's Secret show.
30 million US dollars, which seems to be the same compared to Jiang Yan’s previous income, but this is only the first wave. If you add in the income from various projects, concert income and subsequent European tours, Lion City, Korea, and Neon Tour income
, this year Jiang Yan can become a billionaire just by relying on this tour, and the suffix is still US dollars.
The most critical benefits are things other than money, such as status, relationships, etc.
So feel free to be tired, Jiang Yan is still very satisfied.
Equally satisfied is his team.
Li Xiuxiu, Wu Yong, Lao Fan and others followed Jiang Yan in several shifts this time. They were really exhausted.
But this time they are making a lot of money.
In addition to Jiang Yan's millions in brokerage income, there are more benefits in terms of experience.
After this trip, they have been deeply exposed to some of the top methods in the global entertainment industry.
The European and American music circles, European and American fashion circles, Hollywood, global entertainment-related institutions, and even the European and American financial circles have all seen it.
So if they are satisfied now, then of course they are.
It's just that satisfaction is more about urgency.
Jiang Yan is flying so fast that if he doesn't work hard to make progress, he really won't be able to keep up.
Having said that, what Jiang Yan was doing at Leavesden Studios at this time was being invited by Warner Bros. to participate in the appreciation of the finished film of "Harry Potter 1".
The filming of "Harry Potter 1" started in September 2000. At that time, Jiang Yan also did an extra group performance and developed a lot of "spells".
After half a year of filming, the film was completed in April 2001, and the final finishing work was completed in June, just a few days ago.
Warner Bros. naturally attaches great importance to this magical blockbuster. Jiang Yan, who also has a certain stake in Warner Bros., happened to come to Britain yesterday, so Warner Bros. invited Jiang Yan to come and watch it together.
They didn't just invite him politely to go through the motions, but really wanted Jiang Yan to give him some advice. After all, Jiang Yan was also a screenwriter, and with Jiang Yan's "Son of the Wind" attributes, it would be natural if he could participate in the promotion.
The best, otherwise I would not dare to invite people to watch a movie of this level.
Sitting next to Jiang Yan at this time is the director Chris on the left, and the author JK Rowling on the right.
She personally controlled the script logic of this film.
Just seeing this eldest sister, Jiang Yan couldn't help but think of the scene that would be more magical than the wizarding world more than 20 years later. It was so interesting.
Of course, apart from these, he was thinking more about the various interesting scenes of the author "eating books".
Rowling is just a book writer, she knows nothing about the magical world.
Jiang Yan laughed in his heart when he thought of this.
To be honest, he really wanted to have a good chat with Rowling.
For example, Hermione, is she white?
But he didn't have much time today. After watching the movie, he only had half an hour to spare, so he let Rowling go.
After more than two hours, "Harry Potter 1", which was almost the same as the original version, ended, the lights came on, and everyone applauded.
Next it’s time for each to blow farts.
There’s actually not much to say about a film like this with a deep fan base. It doesn’t mean much to discuss a single film, and it’s also the first one. Success is inevitable, and if it really doesn’t succeed, it won’t affect the continued filming of the series.
In addition, Warner lost money at the box office for the entire series, but the rest of the peripherals made huge profits, which is not in line with Jiang Yan's interests.
So if it comes down to it, Jiang Yan, as a shareholder, might make today's situation impossible to come to Taiwan.
So he simply found another topic, and when it was his turn, he said:
"The actors and scenes are exactly the same as the magical world I imagined. I think the whole world will be crazy about it in the future."
Those who don’t know this may think Jiang Yan is the original author.
However, JK Rowling did not feel any resentment. Instead, she thanked her immediately: "Thank you, Joey! With your affirmation, I feel even more confident."
This attitude is very low-key, but actually there is nothing strange about it.
After all, Rowling is not as awesome now as she was later, and now it is a major milestone in her career.
"Harry Potter" is on the big screen for the first time. If it succeeds, it will be a great addition to her future writing.
But if it fails, maybe the "Harry Potter" novel will become a eunuch.
At this time, Warner's minority shareholder "Wind Son" gave such a high evaluation. If nothing else, she must be quite happy at least psychologically.
Apart from psychology, it is just a little selfish.
Just imagine, if "Wind Child" announced to the world that he is a Harry Potter fan, what would those fans think?
Does magic really exist?
Even if no one thinks so, using the name of Son of the Wind to promote a series of movies must be beneficial and harmless.
It’s not only Rowling who thinks this way, but also the film crew.
For movie promotion, of course, everything that can be used will be used. Besides, Jiang Yan is the most popular person at the moment. Why don't you use it?
Jiang Yan actually knew this when he was invited to watch the film.
But he didn't have any objections, because it was normal. Wouldn't he do the same thing?
When it comes to plucking wool, you are allowed to plucking others, but others are not allowed to pry you? This is not how you do business.
Of course, the most important thing is that he knew that this series would be a big hit. Just as he said, it would be so popular that kids all over the world would go crazy for it.
So it’s not certain who will pick whom later.
So the matter was settled in the two-way rush of both parties.
Jiang Yan will mention Harry Potter during the concert, and the film crew and Rowling will also present Jiang Yan with a magic robe and a Hogwarts admission letter on camera.
In short, this is just a commercial show off.
The bottom layer is the communication between respective fan circles.
This is beneficial and harmless to both parties. After all, we are not competitors.
In addition, Xingchenhai has also obtained some domestic commercial authorizations for Harry Potter series peripherals.
So overall, in the long run, this vote is a good profit.
After chatting for half an hour, Jiang Yan wanted to leave when his time was up.
Before leaving, he gave his new friends tickets for tomorrow's concert as usual.
Nowadays, the tickets for Jiang Yan's concert in London are extremely expensive, and the key is that they are difficult to buy, so these people are naturally very happy to get them.
But at this time, Luo Lin asked Jiang Yan: "Joey, can you give me three more."
"Okay, can the family come together?" Jiang Yan asked.
"It's some kids."
"Children? Can minors come in?" Jiang Yan immediately looked at Warner Henry who was standing aside.
Giving away tickets is one thing, but he doesn't want to do bad things with good intentions.
Just like concerts, Western countries have many programs to protect minors, and he didn't want to step on the wrong side.
Fortunately, Henry pays more attention to this aspect than Jiang Yan. He has already studied it. In England, it is no problem as long as the guardian is present. Jiang Yan was relieved after hearing this.
But for safety reasons, he still arranged a private room directly for people.
There is no shortage of football stadiums in London.
Naturally, there is no shortage of private rooms in top golf courses.
So there is no problem at all in arranging one.
And a private room can seat more than ten people, which is considered to be a success in one step.
Luo Lin was very happy and relieved when she heard this: "That's great, then I can explain everything to the little guys."
"Little guys? You mean Harry Potter and the others?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile.
"Yes." Rowling replied with a smile, "Many of them are your fans, and there is also a die-hard fan among them, a mini-fan.
"
"Really? Are you chasing stars at such a young age?"
"You'll know then."
"If you want to say that, then I must meet you."
"That's great, I don't think she'll be able to sleep tonight.
"
That night, Emma couldn't sleep at all.
Two hours ago, she received a call from Rowling, telling her that tomorrow's concert was arranged for her, and she could also meet Joey himself!
Emma was overjoyed when she heard the news. Just like any other star-chasing girl, she knew she was about to meet her idol, and her excitement was beyond words.
Speaking of which, Emma is only 10 years old now, and it seems a bit too precocious to be star-chasing at the age of 10.
But how can we explain things like chasing stars clearly?
Do you need a reason to fall in love with a celebrity?
And you don’t even look at what celebrities I like.
Although he is of yellow race, he is called Joey! He is ranked second in the world in terms of body and appearance (magazine ranking), and he is a basketball superstar!
The most important thing is the actors!
This is a colleague!
Recently he is the "Son of the Wind" again!
His "joey3" is a hit!
So is it wrong to follow him?
Besides, who said a 10-year-old girl is still a child?
I’ve already acted in a movie, okay?!
So at this moment, Emma's head felt like it was going to explode.
My imagination flew wild, rehearsing tomorrow's scenes over and over again.
At the same time, several similar scenes occurred across London.
The Harry Potter actor, Ron actor and other children who had spent time with Jiang Yan at Hogwarts for a year were almost in a state of excitement at this moment.
Although they are not as obsessed with Jiang Yan as Hermione, but strangely, they are all fans of Jiang Yan.
It is a very strange thing for a group of children to fall in love with a singer from the East at the same time, but no one finds it strange.
On the contrary, because of this, the crew also had a "common language" that everyone recognized in subsequent filming, which also made the filming smoother to a certain extent.
Except for children, adults don't feel this way. Most adults don't feel anything when they see Jiang Yan in reality, except for one person, who plays Dumbledore.
But it is a pity that he is old after all and will not ask for tickets like a child, so unless Jiang Yan and he meet again in reality, this strange chemical reaction will not materialize.
Having said that, time soon came to the afternoon of the next day.
When Jiang Yan met more than a dozen little ones backstage, he originally wanted to reminisce about his time in the Harry Potter world, but when he saw them for the first time, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Because why can't any of these little guys open their eyes?
"Sorry joey, they didn't sleep last night."
The parents explained helplessly.
"Hahaha."
Jiang Yan was immediately happy.
He didn't associate this with Goldfinger, he simply thought these boys were very cute.
In other words, this is a joke on "old classmates".
But no matter what, this first meeting was definitely not a smooth one.
But it doesn't matter. He's not in London just for today anyway. Let's meet again after a while.
So a group of little guys went to the private room to rest first.
Then when they woke up, the concert had already started.
Naturally, it is not easy to talk to Jiang Yan at this time.
So a bunch of little guys suddenly became a little unhappy.
Emma was almost in tears.
After all, she prepared a lot of words and a gift.
As a result, I missed it because I stayed up all night. No one knows how harmful this is to a 10-year-old child.
But fortunately, even though they missed meeting Joey, the children still enjoyed watching Joey's concert with great enthusiasm.
The gorgeous lights and the huge crowd of adults cheering along were an eye-opener for a bunch of children.
It turns out that the world of adults is so exciting?
Can I play like this when I grow up?
In addition to "eye-opening", their happiness also comes from joey.
Seeing so many people cheering for Joey, even though most of them didn't quite understand what those songs meant, they were also proud of it.
This is an inexplicable emotion. They don't understand it, but they don't want to delve into it, because they are happy and that's it.
Among them, Emma smiled the happiest while staring at the close-up of Joey on the big screen.
The adults on the side were a little worried at first when they saw this, but Jiang Yan's singing skills and stage effects were here, and they soon followed suit.
Soon, the concert came to an end.
Jiang Yan on the stage started repeating the old tune again:
"I know what you are waiting for.
"
Wow~
The whole place exploded again.
The parents of the children in the private room were confused, but the children quickly learned:
"The Son of the Wind is coming out!"
These words made them even more confused, but many of them had heard of the reputation of "Son of the Wind", so they now had a lot of expectations.
At this time, Jiang Yan on the stage began to "deny" again:
"Coincidence! Everything is a coincidence!"
"How can there be such a magical thing in this world?
Oh no, that’s not accurate.”
As he spoke, Jiang Yan pointed a finger at the audience and said:
"I know that in this country, there is a very magical school called Hogwarts.
"
"Wow!
"
"It's Harry Potter!
"
"It's a magician!
"
"joey knows harry potter!
"
".
"
A bunch of Harry fans in the audience got excited.
It has been four years since "Harry Potter" was published in 1997, and its fan base can be counted in the tens of millions.
Especially in Great Britain, which is simply the base camp for Harry fans.
So Jiang Yan talking about Harry Potter at this time is definitely something that can boost his favorability.
And Jiang Yan wasn't just talking. In front of everyone's attention, Jiang Yan took out a black magic wand from his costume.
In this scene, although the "Harry Potter" movie has not yet been released, all Harry fans understand that this is the wand.
"Wand!
"
"Is joey going to cast a spell?"
".
"
Everyone cheered and waited for the next high court.
Although most of them also know that whether such a miracle will appear depends on luck.
But when the atmosphere is high, why do you care so much? Just follow the booing.
Afterwards, Jiang Yan was heard saying something meaningful to the audience:
"My title as the Son of the Wind is actually false. It was caused by coincidences."
"In the past, I didn't like this kind of coincidence. You also know the reason."
"But today, I must make a sincere request to a certain wizard who may exist in the audience."
As he spoke, Jiang Yan looked at a private room in the stands:
"Dear Wizard, if you are here and are willing, please give me a 'Wind Curse' when I sing my next song!"
After saying that, the prelude to the next song started.
As for Jiang Yan's serious look, almost everyone who saw it knew that this was just a performance.
Whether it is really possible to summon the wind, in fact, most people still know how small the probability is.
But the children in the private room were very excited.
One by one, they all took out their wands, and then everyone looked at Emma.
Emma immediately got up, Hermione cleared her throat solemnly, then shook her wand and said, "Wind!"
Then everyone shook their wands, stood up and shouted the magic spell: "Here comes the wind~"
They have played this kind of little game many times on the set, and they have a tacit understanding with each other.
But after all, they still know whether it is true or false.
So this is a joy.
As a result, they waited until they finished speaking.
The scene behind the glass exploded.
"The wind is really coming!
"
At this moment, looking at the venue covered with tickets that were already flying all over the sky, a bunch of Hogwarts kids stared at each other with their eyes wide open.
Then the next second, everyone screamed with excitement.
