In the lounge, Li Qing was sitting in front of the makeup table. While receiving makeup touch-ups from Yu Zhenzhen, he said to Liu Qin next to him: "Did you tell me how the cooperation will work? Is there a script?"
"Wang Jiachen is very sincere. You will be the first leading actor in the new drama, and he can agree to whoever you want to play with. It's up to you to choose."
Liu Qin smiled and said: "Of course there are scripts. A top director like him never lacks scripts, but Wang Jiachen also said that the best scripts are with you."
Li Qing smiled.
Xue Yan complained a little: "Now all the directors in the country want to cooperate with the boss, and they all want to get the script from the boss with nothing. How can there be such a good thing in the world."
"Yes, there is nothing so good in the world."
Liu Qin agreed: "I suggest that Legendary Pictures continue to invest and invite Wang Jiachen to film."
Legendary Pictures is a film and television production company under the Hanhai Group. "The Truman Show" is the first film invested by Legendary Pictures. Although it has not made waves in the industry now, as long as "The Truman Show" becomes an instant hit
, Legendary Pictures will naturally rise and enter the public eye.
Li Qing nodded: "Sister Qin, please call Director Wang back later. After my filming is finished, if I continue to shoot new films, I will talk to him personally."
Liu Qin snorted and asked, "Barry from Bloomsbury Publishing House in the UK called..."
"Are you here to urge the manuscript again?" Li Qing frowned.
Liu Qin nodded: "Yes, "Harry Potter" has become a national-level fantasy novel in the UK, and is watched by almost everyone. In London, there is not only a Harry Potter fan union, but now some book fans have also established an advocacy group on the Internet.
The update alliance, this update reminder alliance is even more unique. The initiator recruited hundreds of book friends on the Internet, and also planned to organize a chartered flight to China to visit the Great Wall and stop by our company to urge updates..."
Li Qing took a deep breath.
Hundreds of people take a group charter flight to beat themselves up?
"Is this true?" Li Qing asked suspiciously.
"It's just a combination on the Internet. Whether this plan will be implemented is still unknown, and there are many obstacles in it. I think it is unlikely." Liu Qin said with a smile.
Li Qing looked at Liu Qin and said, "Why are you smiling so happily?"
"Really?" Liu Qin covered her mouth.
Li Qing snorted: "Are you happy to see me being hammered?"
"No, no, no." Liu Qin shook her hand quickly: "I just think it's time for you to release the fourth "Harry Potter". As a member of the Harry Potter Union, I also want to see the follow-up, and I watched you
In the report of your last speech at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, you said that the fourth part has been written."
Li Qing groaned in pain: "The manuscript has been written, but once it is published, it will not be saved."
"fine."
Liu Qin said seriously: "You type quickly."
"..."
Li Qing finally sent the fourth volume of "Harry Potter", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," to Barry via email.
It has been half a year since the release of the third installment of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
In the past six months, the number of fans of "Harlem Potter" has grown almost exponentially.
Not only in the UK, but also in Europe, America and other places, the number of Ham fans is extremely terrifying.
This is also the reason why Warner Bros. is willing to spend 30 million US dollars to buy the movie rights of "Harry Potter" - no matter how much investment is made in the movie or the quality of the film, the audience of this movie alone is enough for Warner Bros. to make money at the box office.
Get your money back.
Even Warner Bros. can save a lot of money on publicity.
Because the name "Harry Potter" is already the best popularity promotion.
In fact, today, the British Bloomsbury Publishing House has been translated into more than 20 languages, and this number is still expanding.
In many countries in Southeast Asia, the story of "Harry Potter" has appeared more or less.
According to incomplete statistics, so far, the sales volume of "Harry Potter" in the UK alone has exceeded 10 million copies.
You know, the entire UK only has over 60 million people.
And among the more than 60 million people, on average, one in every six people has watched Harry Potter.
Of course, these 10 million sales include the current trilogy of "Harry Potter" films that have been released. On average, each volume has about 3 to 4 million sales.
But even so, the "Harry Potter" series almost set a sales record for the fastest sales of one million and ten million copies in the UK.
In addition, in the United States, Canada, Italy, France and other countries, the sales volume of "Harry Potter" is also extremely terrifying. When the translations of various texts are integrated, the sales volume has reached 50 million.
It is worth mentioning that among these 50 million, the American English version alone has reached more than 30 million copies.
You know, this is still the state of the "Harry Potter" series that has not yet been completed.
And as time goes by, sales of "Harry Potter" will continue to increase.
Such terrifying popularity and sales are enough to make all publishing groups and all film and television production companies jealous.
Although there are countless imitations nowadays, there are few writers like Leesin who can write original British magical stories, because the most important thing about "Harry Potter" is the core of the story.
Under Leesin's pen, the "Harry Potter" series not only constructs a magical world that is integrated into modern society, but its details are extremely real. Every bizarre story is worthy of scrutiny and study, and the character characteristics are also very unique.
Clearly, the novel also borrows a lot of mythology and history to support the authenticity of the story, just like building a real-life shelter that attracts everyone to flock to it.
It also satisfies all the children's fantasies about heroes, freedom, courage, righteousness, evil and good.
Children are eager for the existence of this magical world, eager to come to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters one day, eager to come to Hogwarts College, eager to learn various spells, eager to one day shoulder the mission of justice and eliminate all evil in the world.
.
Even if this is just a desire, it is being realized by one person!
That's Harry!
Whether they admit it or not, many people are keen to imagine themselves as another person, this person is very powerful and omnipotent.
Some writers will write this fantasy to entertain the public, but at the same time, it will inevitably make people feel that the hero in this fantasy is a bit frivolous and unreal.
But Leesin's heroes are different.
He is not just describing an omnipotent hero, but creating a hero.
And in this creation process, he can satisfy some of people's fantasies without expressing too much about himself.
This is probably the difference between "Harry Potter" and other hero comics and novels.
After sending "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" to Barry, Li Qing delivered "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Kunlun Magic" in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series to Tang Dynasty Publishing House.
The Ghost Blowing Lamp series has been serialized by Li Qing on the Internet Literature Association forum, including the fourth volume "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Kunlun Magic", which has been serialized on the Internet. In addition to online updates, offline publishing has also
Following closely behind, the sales volume still continued Li Qing's previous record, ranking at the top of major domestic book rankings.
But because of the reading audience, the sales volume of "Harry Potter" is naturally incomparable.
Although some companies came to negotiate the purchase of film and television rights, most of them were domestic production companies. When the special effects could not keep up, Li Qing did not intend to sell them at a low price, so he hoarded the film and television rights of the novel alone.
"The Truman Show" is a modern movie. It has been more than half a month now, and the filming progress is almost halfway. It is expected to be completed in a month. Next is the long special effects production time. The estimated official release time is about
It will be in the second half of the year, or even at the end of the year.
During this period of time, in addition to filming, Li Qing also found time to continue writing "Harry Potter" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", in order to eliminate the thought of being criticized by readers.
In addition, another news that surprised Li Qing came - after the release of Zhu Rongjie's first album, a subsidiary of Hanhai Group and signed by Taiwan's Julu Records, a song "Star Shift" in the album was released the next day.
It ranked in the top ten of Taiwan's hit song charts.
Seven days later, five songs from Zhu Rongjie's new album ranked in the top five of the Golden Songs Chart, causing shock in the industry.
Many popular singers were intimidated by this newcomer and were speechless. As a result, their previous thoughts of releasing a album to hit the hit charts were instantly wiped out.
You know, such signs of rising popularity are as if Li Qing has reappeared in the past.
