In the past, you couldn't see the sun because you would be burned to death, but in "Twilight 1", the settings were slightly changed.
Suddenly, vampires who were full of sin seemed to become "mysterious" in people's hearts in the past.
The editors gathered around, not caring about whether the film was signed or not, but asking, "Susan, is there any news about "Twilight 2"?"
"Stephanie Summer, are you working on Twilight 2? How long do we have to wait?"
And when Susan Miller took out the original manuscript of "Twilight 2", the entire entertainment editorial department burst into cheers——
"The news about "Twilight 2" cannot be shared for the time being. Anyone who wants to see it can come to me and sign a confidentiality agreement!"
This time, in addition to discussing the publication of "Twilight 1", there is also "Twilight 2" and the cover issues of these two books.
The cover was naturally designed by Xia Yu based on the original version - Susan Miller naturally had to respect the author's will.
The cover design of the first picture shows a man dragging an apple with his hands. This man is undoubtedly the hero. The red apple symbolizes Edward holding a coveted red apple like Bella.
To the original author, Apple can be said to be the narrative of the entire "Twilight Series".
Just like the forbidden fruit eaten by Eve, it symbolizes the forbidden love between the hero and heroine.
This is just an inspiration design for the cover. It will probably take ten days and a half to wait for the actual cover to come out - after all, the male protagonist is still being selected.
It can be said that Susan Miller's trip to Los Angeles and Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company was completely beyond her imagination and was too shocking.
In addition to shocking Xia Yu's Chinese identity, a pure oriental girl can actually write a pure British romantic novel like "Twilight Series". There is also the identity of the boss of the bankrupt Sisters Film and Television Company!
At this moment, Susan Miller finally knew why "Twilight 1" would appear on the "green channel" of Stic Publishing House - Mindley Pictures, a Hollywood film and television giant!
I was even more shocked when I learned that "Twilight Series" had received a joint filming plan from Mindelli Pictures and Bankrupt Sisters Film and Television. In other words, this novel is completely a warm-up for the release of the movie!
The reason why Xia Yu made it clear was that, as the editor-in-chief of Stic Entertainment's editorial department, he could "deal with" those who wanted to buy copyrights, and the other was to obtain more publishing resources.
Undoubtedly very successful.
As soon as she returned to stic Publishing House, Susan Miller immediately contacted the editor-in-chief. One was to confirm the specific source of the "green channel" and the relationship between bankrupt Sisters Pictures and Mindli Pictures. The second was to increase the number of publications!
"If this novel is really made into a film and television, it will definitely boost the sales of this novel. This is an absolute win-win situation!"
The 15% royalty is only for "Twilight 1" and "Twilight 2". If this movie and novel really become a hit, the royalty will definitely be increased by at least 5% on the original basis.
, up to ten percent.
Before returning to Washington, one of the editor-in-chief of stic had received a message from Susan Miller and watched "Twilight 1".
Therefore, as soon as Susan Miller raised this matter, he asked her about her decision, "How much do you plan to publish in the first issue?"
Susan Miller: ""Twilight 1" first printed 500,000 copies, a total of one million copies."
"The first printing of "Twilight 2", I think, can be 3 million copies directly and be released on the same day as the movie "Twilight 1" is released."
…
In any case, Camus’ global hard advertising and spring and summer shows in the first half of next year are over.
Donner will have to wait until mid-January.
Xia Yu and Yu Junhao arrived at the airport together. Xia Yu's flight left first, and Yu Junhao had to wait half an hour.
However, Xia Yu had already seen the flights from New Zealand to the Imperial Capital, and there was one just an hour ago.
But she didn't say anything, put on her backpack, picked up Yuanbao's flight case, and waved goodbye.
However, during this meeting, Xia Yu finally invited him to cooperate:
"A movie with action, plot, absurdity and fun, um... a commercial movie, do you have any ideas?"
Xia Yu's original idea for this film was to still have a European and American actor.
But thought about it.
"Twilight Series", "The Hunger Games Series", etc. have already confirmed their partnering with European and American actors.
If these series come to an end and Xia Yu and the Bankrupt Sisters successfully rise to prominence, then it will be time for a few "Hollywood" movies starring Chinese actors to stimulate the nerves of Hollywood and the global "Hollywood market."
Maybe this invitation was early, but it's really rare for two people to meet each other, isn't it?
Yu Junhao thought that when faced with Xia Yu's invitation, he would agree without hesitation.
But when it came to this moment, he actually held back and said with a faint smile:
"Time, script."
If Xiao Wang hadn't lowered his eyes and saw someone's right hand stretching nervously and repeatedly under the tablecloth to relieve the tension, he would have believed it.
"In about three years, I can make an appointment with you one year in advance. As for the script, can I give it to you before May next year?"
"good!"
Why give it to Yu Junhao next May? Because the script hasn’t been written yet, but Xia Yu has already watched the movie.
A very interesting movie.
All in all, the old friends met, talked about a few things, and then went their separate ways.
As soon as Xia Yu landed, he received a text message from Zhuang Ling, "Call me when you land."
We reached an agreement with stic Publishing House on the publication of "Twilight 1". Xia Yu went to see the car that day - this was because Meng Dong was away during this period, Zhuang Ling was also consolidating company matters, and Xia Yu didn't go out much.
Only occasionally acts as Xia Yu's driver.
But Zhuang Ling can't always be a driver.
Xia Yu thought for a while and decided that buying a car should be put on the agenda, so he bought himself a mobility scooter.
Unexpectedly, the money was just transferred out, the purchase was completed, and the personnel arranged by Yao Yuanqian were in place.
The arranged female driver and a luxury car were in place. The model of the car was exactly the Rolls-Royce Ghost that Wen Sui had arranged for Xia Yu when he and Wen Sui went to Los Angeles last time. Xia Yu discovered that he
Is it obvious that people around you love Rolls-Royce?
The old man gave himself a Cullinan, and Yao Yuanqian gave himself a Ghost. Zhuang Ling has a Phantom, and with a few more models, he will soon be able to complete the Rolls-Royce series.
But of course, there are a few limited-edition cars that are still unaffordable—the prices are sky-high.
Anyway, Xia Yu doesn’t have that kind of money.
"It came just in time."
This is Xia Yu’s complaint.
The mobility scooter I just bought for less than $50,000, doesn’t it pale in comparison?
The person who came to pick up Xia Yu was Great Wall Film and Television, or the driver and bodyguard arranged by Yao Yuanqian.
The main reason was that Xia Yu couldn't find the right one during this period, so he forgot about it for the time being.
Whether it was Zhuang Ling by his side or Xia Yu's own strength.
To put it bluntly - let alone three or five big men, there are ten or eight. After Xia Yu achieved the third stage of achievements until now, there is basically no need to worry about her force value and fighting skills. With the evolution of visual dynamics, Rocket
General improvement.
They only need to worry about whether they want an arm, a leg, or their life?
It's just that Xia Yu has never been given a chance to try it. Of course, Xia Yu thinks that it is best not to have such an opportunity.
And Yao Yuanqian arranged for drivers and bodyguards to be around him, just because he wanted to install an informant?
Xia Yu will definitely still use people, but they will only stay on the outermost level. If she really wants to say something, she won't let her hear or know.
A Chinese female bodyguard is definitely not as powerful as Xue Tong. Xue Tong came from a specialized unit——
After seeing the news about Zhuang Ling, Xia Yu didn't hesitate, got into the car, fastened her seat belt, and called her immediately.
After about ten seconds, the call was connected.
There was an echo from Zhuang Ling's words. It was obvious that she had just come out of the audition venue and entered a conference room.
"Just landed? Let's go out for dinner together tonight?"
Xia Yu was surprised, "Eating?" Didn't we basically eat together during this time? Went out suddenly?
Knowing that Xia Yu was confused, Zhuang Ling did not hide it and said bluntly, "Ms. guide in Italy last time, do you still remember it?"
"Georgia?"
"I didn't expect you to remember - well, her son, you haven't seen it but you have an impression, right?"
"Yes." Xia Yu smiled.
How could it not be?
He still remembered Georgia's words.
[Reality and dreams must be distinguished. The most important thing in life is to take care of your stomach first, isn’t it? 】
"I am twenty-two years old this year. I have filmed several movies - supporting roles and supporting roles. This time I heard the news about Ashley's new movie and contacted me. I have seen all the movies. He is a very handsome child.
, but what about the acting? Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad, but can you meet it once?”
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "I've found you. Even if I can't choose you, if you help me last time, I still want to treat you to a meal, right?"
"However, you'd better send me the information about Georgia's son, so I can take a look at it during this time?"
"Okay, please pay attention. I'll send you an email and I'll hang up the phone - you're going out to enjoy yourself, leaving a few of us here to work very hard. When we get back, Chairman Xia will treat us to a good meal.
It’s not a top-notch restaurant, so don’t ask me to invite you to dinner, okay?”
Xia Yu was happy, "I've heard in the past few days that you are eating this piece of food, but you haven't spared me any money. I have evidence, so don't try to exploit me."
Zhuang Ling hated that iron could not become steel, and said with a smile, "Meng Meng, this little traitor."
As soon as the phone was put down, within a minute, Xia Yu's phone received an email notification tone.
The actor resume of Georgia's son has been sent.
Antonio Agnelli, seeing this name, Xia Yu subconsciously thought of several top luxury car brand families that are now well-known in the world.
But Zhuang Ling is also affiliated in the data, with two words: collateral line, which means that this is another member of the Agnelli family.
Name: Antonio Agnelli (collateral)
Age: twenty-two years old
Height: 186
Starring in movies: "Olman Castle: Lord of Wands 1 and 2", "Elk Manor", "The Gem Merchant", "The English Wizard", "Sheriff Thorne 1 and 2", "The Beautiful City"
·Misty Murderer》......
Graduate school: Brown University·Drama and Performance Studies (senior year)
Experience: Filmed the first movie "The Gem Merchant" at the age of fifteen, playing a supporting role...
At the same time, there were some demos of Antonio's performances, and Xia Yu took a closer look at them on the way back to the company.
After reading Antonio's resume, Xia Yu had only one expression - a waste of natural resources.
Xia Yu learned from Zhuang Ling's evaluation and understanding that this kid named Antonio Agnelli was not an economical person.
He has a very high IQ and a very high EQ. He is a "super talented" player like Xia Yi.
But unlike Xia Yi, Xia Yi is very single-minded and focused, while he does whatever comes to his mind - as soon as he thinks about it.
His parents, the Giorgias, had been training him to be a director since he was a child. But unexpectedly, this little guy suddenly fell in love with acting while studying. This made Agnelli, who was devoted to training top directors,
The couple almost collapsed.
After many ineffective teachings and self-persuasion, the couple finally accepted this fact - and the child Antonio Agnelli was also very successful. He started acting at the age of fifteen, and his previous films were all remarkable.
It can even be said to be excellent.
This is why the Georgians are willing to bite the bullet and let go.
Until I was admitted to Brown University.
His acting skills seemed to have been "sealed". It's not that he was bad, but that he lost the "aura" he had at the beginning.
I have been in the acting career for eight years and have played more than ten roles, but there has been no improvement... From the beginning, I was full of aura, and my acting skills in supporting roles almost surpassed that of the protagonist. When I became an adult, I gradually became a supporting role and became a supporting role.
Since entering college, Antonio has spent more time not focusing on professional studies.
It's just like Zhuang Ling's evaluation - he is unstable, his thoughts come up one after another, he is a playboy and a playboy.
Every time he takes a role, it all depends on his mood - most of the roles he takes are because of his "girlfriend" at that time.
When they arrived on the set, they were also "in love". If the Agnelli couple hadn't been so tight-knit, the child might have been older than Dai Jia.
Moreover, as he became less and less focused, his reputation among the Agnelli couple's circle of director friends gradually declined!
Therefore, Antonio can still receive many roles, but even if the Agnelli couple relies on their connections, friends are really unwilling to reuse Antonio. In other words, no one is willing to write scripts for him. He can also join the team as a supporting role.
It's okay, but the protagonist, really can't.
A good director is not willing to put his reputation at the expense of the Agnelli couple's money. Their family is rich, but not that rich. The main reason is that the Agnelli couple have not inherited the family property.
To put it bluntly, Antonio was completely ruined by a good hand of cards.
Qiaojia, why did you specifically act as Xia Yu’s guide during the Venice Film Festival in September?
At this time, Zhuang Ling said clearly, "Qiaojia, I originally planned to let me help send Antonio to China to train for a year or two, because in his current state, it is no problem to graduate, but once he graduates, he may be useless.
"
Qiaojia's meaning is also very clear, "We need a place with 'little human rights', and the crew will manage 'him'!"
Of course, this does not mean that China does not have human rights, but that European and American countries are "too particular about human rights" when it comes to work.
Too particular.
(4000+)
(Ask for monthly ticket.)
(Antonio’s character has been planned for a long time. I didn’t think about the age aspect, so - it said adult before... I can’t change it now, so I’ll make a patch!)
