Hollywood Lover

  Zhang Dongcheng was not in such a good mood as he was. He was in the mood to complain about the bad air. He shook his drowsy head and wiped his tired face. Refresh yourself. Walk towards the exit.

   "Hey! Smith, wait for me!" Seeing that Zhang Dongcheng had left by himself, Adaman anxiously pulled the trolley case and chased after him.

  As soon as he walked to the exit of the airport, Zhang Dongcheng saw his cousin and others leaning on a Jaguar.

  The cousin who also saw Zhang Dongcheng suddenly smiled, and strode forward to meet him. "Dongcheng, I heard about your work in the United States. You did a good job!"

   Zhang Dongcheng laughed when he heard the words, and his eyes fell on the faces of his cousin and others.

This time, besides his cousin, JK Rowling’s mother and daughter came to greet him. JK Rowling’s daughter Jessica is a very cute girl. A special floral dress, long soft hair blown into braids, a pretty red face, and a pair of big watery eyes looked at Zhang Dongcheng curiously.

   "Smith, welcome!" J.K. Rowling said after Zhang Dongcheng communicated with her cousin.

"Thank you! I didn't expect Ms. Rowling to come back to pick up the plane!" After greeting JK Rowling, Zhang Dongcheng squatted down, looked at Jessica who was holding his mother's hand, and asked with a smile: "Jessica , still remember me?"

   "Remember! You are Uncle Smith!" Jessica replied in a crisp childish voice. More than just a cute word can describe it.

   After teasing Jessica, Zhang Dongcheng stood up and said, "Is your book published smoothly?"

  JK Rowling heard this, a look of gratitude flashed across her face, and said: "It went well. Thank you for your help!"

   "No! You deserve this, don't forget, you also sold me the copyright of the Harry Potter movie, didn't you?" Zhang Dongcheng smiled. Continue to ask: "When will it be officially released?"

"It's been on sale for two days, but I didn't do any extravagant ceremony. After all, I'm still a new author, and I'm still writing fairy tales. The publishing house is not optimistic about it!" J.K. Rowling said at the publishing house There is no embarrassment on his face when he is not optimistic about his novels. Even fighting spirit.

   Clearly she was pretty sure she could make it.

In this regard, Zhang Dongcheng is more confident than J.K. Rowling himself. After all, through those future consultations, Zhang Dongcheng deeply understands the deficiencies of the Harry Potter series, whether it is books or adaptations. The movies are all well-deserved gold-making machines.

   "I think, you will soon become a well-known writer in the whole of Britain, and even the whole world! Isn't it?" Zhang Dongcheng blinked.

   "Thank you for the compliment! I think so!" J.K. Rowling is convinced of this. What the West advocates is to show oneself, which is not showing off but self-confidence.

   "Okay, let's go back and talk if we have anything to say!" The chubby cousin pulled the uncle's clothes and motioned for him to speak.

"Dongcheng. Your cousin is right. If we have anything to say, let's go back and talk about it! Don't discuss it here at the airport! I knew you were coming back, but your cousin made a lot of delicious food for you in advance!" Uncle said.

   "Okay! Let's go back first!" Now that his cousin and aunt have said so, of course Zhang Dongcheng can't let the two elders waste time here at the airport.

"Oh! Smith, since the uncle is here to pick you up, let's break up here!" Adaman, who followed behind Zhang Dongcheng, his heart was no longer here, he couldn't wait to separate from Zhang Dongcheng, Enjoy this rare holiday, you know, Adaman was really exhausted during the filming in Australia!

"Adaman, don't you want to try my cousin's cooking? You know, the Chinese food she cooks is great, especially the lotus root pork rib soup!" Zhang Dongcheng said with a bit of temptation in his tone .

  Adaman showed a embarrassed expression. Although he was very reluctant to take this opportunity to take a lazy vacation, he was even more reluctant to part with the delicious rib soup. So there was no choice but to compromise. "Okay! I'll be with you, I hope I won't disturb the uncles!"

   "Of course not!" The uncle laughed, patted Adaman on the shoulder and said, "Adaman, you have lost a lot of weight compared to when you left England!"

  Adaman scratched his head and smiled, he was still very unaccustomed to his cousin's Chinese-style intimacy.

   After everyone got in the car, they headed all the way to the uncle's house. Although my cousin's home is in the far outskirts of London, it is not far from the airport because of this. And the environment is very quiet. Of course, this is relative to the city center.

  In London, a world-renowned city of fog, can you expect to find some place with fresh air?

  After arriving at my cousin's villa, it didn't take long for everyone to enjoy a pleasant Chinese-style lunch.

  During the period, the little Jessica was even more happy eating. For her, the topics of communication between adults were obviously more attractive than the food on the table.

   "Cousin, does the publishing house have any promotional plans for Harry Potter?" Zhang Dongcheng asked his cousin after drinking a spoonful of fragrant pork rib soup.

  For the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the person in charge of contacting him is my cousin.

   "Because this book is a children's book, the other party didn't have much preparation for the promotion. They felt that the loss outweighed the gain!" The cousin shook his head and explained with some regret.

   "No promotion?" Zhang Dongcheng put down the spoon in his hand, frowned slightly, and said, "What is the plan of the publishing house? Is it just to publish and sell it directly, and then put it on the bookshelf and ignore everything?"

   "It's okay, Smith!" J.K. Rowling raised her head and persuaded, "I believe Harry Potter will be successful even without promotion!"

   "I know this!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded. He very much agrees with J.K. Rowling's statement that Harry Potter will indeed be successful, but the lack of means of advertising will undoubtedly delay the popular time, which is not what Zhang Dongcheng wants.

  In today's society, with the continuous spread of the Internet, the theory that wine is not afraid of deep alleys has gradually become inapplicable. Especially in the era when the economy is about to enter the eyeballs, it becomes more and more so.

  According to his plan, the book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" must become popular all over the world before the end of this year. Only in this way can the movie version be shot next year with the help of this wind.

"However, if there is no promotion, the time to become popular will be delayed, won't it?" Zhang Dongcheng pondered for a while, then said: "Well, we can't just rely on the publishing house for everything, we also need to advertise ourselves! Adaman, wait for your vacation to be wasted! Contact the media with me!"

"Oh! NO!" Adaman, who had just stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, suddenly groaned, and swallowed the unchewed braised pork, ignoring that he was almost choked to death, raised his hand, and said: "Smith , you can't do this. You are exploiting, you are capitalists!"

   "Sorry, no matter what you say, I've already made up my mind!" Zhang Dongcheng didn't care about this guy's complaints.

  After lunch, Zhang Dongcheng saw off J.K. Rowling's mother and daughter, and then he couldn't wait to take Adaman to Hammer Films, looking for Mr. Alston for help.

  In the beginning, after Zhang Dongcheng filmed two big smoking guns, although he rejected Mr. Alston’s solicitation, there was still a little bit of love between the two. After the release of Two Smoking Barrels sparked heated discussions around the world, he left Hollywood and focused his work on Hollywood. In fact, Zhang Dongcheng in the UK is far from having many contacts at all.

  This time about "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", I still need to trouble Mr. Alston. Hope he won't refuse!

   "Mr. Auston, long time no see!" Under the leadership of the secretary, Zhang Dongcheng once again Mr. Auston.

   "Oh! Look who this is! Our lovely Chinese boy Director Smith is finally back!" After seeing Zhang Dongcheng, Auston immediately greeted him affectionately. "Long time no see, Smith, let me guess what you came to see me this time. Well! I can be sure that you definitely didn't come back because you couldn't get along in Hollywood. Although I don't pay much attention to the news in the United States, but I also know that you have become very popular in Hollywood. I heard that you have started your own company and become the boss. Congratulations. Then you must have something you want me to help with, right?"

  Zhang Dongcheng exclaimed: "Mr. Alston, you guessed it right, I am indeed here to ask for help this time!"

   "Okay! Tell me, what problem did you encounter!" Alston asked directly. He didn't intend to refuse at all, because in his opinion, having a good relationship with Zhang Dongcheng is absolutely beneficial and harmless.

   Zhang Dongcheng has become a rising star in Hollywood. Although Hammer Films focuses on the British domestic market, it does not exclude foreign films. After all, under the impact of Hollywood for many years, the film market around the world is not going well, and Hammer Films is no exception. No one will set off a lot of money.

   Now that he and Zhang Dongcheng continue their love, sooner or later there will be a harvest in the future. As a successful businessman, Auston is obviously not a short-sighted person. He knows very well what is the practice of putting a long line to catch big fish.

"It's like this!" At that moment, Zhang Dongcheng told Ortons about Harry Potter, and finally said: "Mr. Ortons, I hope to get your help. You know, I was in After the success of the two big smoking guns, I left the UK, so I am not very familiar with the relationship with the British media, I hope you can contact me, I want to hold a press conference!"

Holding a press conference for a new book is certainly not Zhang Dongcheng's first initiative, but as a well-known director, holding a press conference for a new author and writing a children's book is somewhat incomprehensible up.
