Hollywood Lover Chapter 194

But will Harry Potter fail? This is of course impossible. Today's Harry Potter was created after J. K. Rowling spent a year revising it with great concentration. During this year, she devoted all her energy to the creation of the novel.

It can be said that the current Harry Potter is better than Zhang Dongcheng's impression.

In this way, the success of Harry Potter is clearly a foregone conclusion. Zhang Dongcheng's reputation will not be affected, on the contrary, it will be improved to a higher level.

Speaking of it, this can be regarded as an alternative hype technique. Take advantage of Zhang Dongcheng's popularity in the UK to connect him with Harry Potter.

Others will definitely be curious when they see a director actually making children's books, especially Zhang Dongcheng's movie fans. In this way, Harry Potter's popularity will slowly accumulate amidst the controversy, eventually forming a sensational explosion.

At the beginning, his first movie was released amidst the ridicule and contempt of others, and finally turned defeat into victory smoothly, making the Daily Mail a big laughing stock in the whole of England. There were even scenes of movie fans besieging the newspaper building.

What is the essence of the hype? Controversial! As long as there is controversy, there is no need to worry about being unpopular. The more unfavorable those newspapers are now, the more intense the popularity of Harry Potter will be in the end.

"No, no, no!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head, and said affirmatively, "My sacrifice is temporary. As long as Harry Potter becomes popular, not only will my reputation not be damaged, but it will be icing on the cake!"

Although she had already guessed what Zhang Dongcheng was thinking, J.K. Rowling was still amazed when he actually admitted it now. Her eyes were full of curiosity, and she circled Zhang Dongcheng's body up and down. with.

In J.K. Rowling's view, Zhang Dongcheng's plan is definitely to dance on a high-altitude steel wire.

This kind of whimsy can only be described as unprecedented. Would no one else have thought of such a plan?

meeting!

But thinking about it, it doesn't mean that no one dares to do this. You know, if you take it off, the consequences will be big. The reputation is so bad that I dare not say it, but it is definitely not that good.

This kind of gameplay, only Zhang Dongcheng, who knows the future result, dares to do this in the whole world.

"Smith, even if this is the case, I still want to thank you!" J. K. Rowling bowed slightly to Zhang Dongcheng, and said, "But... I am a little old after all...so..."

Seeing J.K. Rowling's faltering, Zhang Dongcheng raised his eyebrows. Just when he was about to say something, his gaze suddenly found a report in an unknown lace magazine in the newspaper.

"Smith Chang and what single moms have to tell!"

In an instant he knew what J. K. Rowling meant. She must have regarded herself as someone who had that kind of affection for her!

All of this can only be said to be a coincidence. Who could have imagined the future popularity of Harry Potter? Without this premise, no matter how you look at it, Zhang Dongcheng's actions make people feel a little ill-intentioned.

"That..." Rao Zhang Dongcheng has already tempered his face in front of many media, and he is still a little embarrassed at the moment. He had no choice but to cough twice, and said: "Miss Rowling, I have an appointment with Mr. Eliard of the Royal Publishing Bureau today. It's getting late, and I have to leave first! Otherwise, I should be late!"

JK Rowling explained with a flustered expression after hearing the words: "Okay then, Mr. Smith. I'll take my leave first!"

After leaving the house with J.K. Rowling, Zhang Dongcheng drove his uncle's Jaguar straight to the Royal Publishing House.

J.K. Rowling, who watched Zhang Dongcheng drive away, was a little confused, and sighed secretly: "Smith, it's a pity that there is too much age difference between us! It would be great if you could be older, or I could be younger ?”

Successful men can always attract the attention of the opposite sex. This kind of attention can easily generate vague feelings and accumulate.

Especially artistic youth like Zhang Dongcheng. Of course, many people in the film industry don't think commercial films are art, but it is undeniable that directors are always playing art in the eyes of outsiders.

Especially Zhang Dongcheng is always like a prophet. His strong self-confidence and affinity with Chinese people always gather a large number of followers around him, and naturally there are some admirers of the opposite sex. For example, Halliwell, Victoria, and Patricia, didn't they all come together with Zhang Dongcheng for such a reason?

Royal Publishing Bureau, (Her/HisMajECty'sStationaryOffice): British Government Publishing House, established in 1786, mainly publishes official documents, reports, parliamentary documents and various books of the British government and its ministries, as well as agriculture, forestry and archeology , history, art, education, industry, business, and medicine. It publishes 8,000 kinds of books and 90,000 kinds of books in print every year. It is the largest publisher in the UK with an annual turnover of nearly 280 million pounds. The bureau is also engaged in distribution, and has agencies in the UK and more than 40 countries and regions in the world.

Compared with the original version of Harry Potter choosing Bloomsbury Publishing House, no matter in all aspects, the current Royal Publishing House is undoubtedly better.

After a twenty-minute drive, Zhang Dongcheng arrived at the headquarters of the Royal Publishing House.

At the same time, some people who habitually read newspapers after waking up finally saw the reports in the newspapers.

"Oh! Damn it, it's not true! Didn't Smith become a well-known director in Hollywood? Why did he return to England to publish a children's book? Could it be that what was reported in the newspaper before was all false ?”

These are Zhang Dongcheng's **** supporters. In their view, Zhang Dongcheng has already become a big director in Hollywood. There is no reason to publish children's books, right? Unless you can't get along in Hollywood.

"Huh? A children's book recommended by Smith Zhang? Damn, did I read it right? Is today April Fool's Day?"

"Haha... As expected of Smith, every action is always so unexpected. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"? I'm going to buy a copy, I believe Smith will not disappoint. He recommended it The book is definitely worth reading!"

"A director doesn't make movies, but makes children's books, and doesn't do his job! You don't need to think about it, this book is definitely not that good!"

People who see media reports express their own views and comments. At this time, Zhang Dongcheng finally came to the headquarters of the Royal Publishing House, and met the editor-in-chief Eliard, who was in charge of a series of affairs including the publication of Harry Potter and the Wizard.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, I have been in love with you for a long time! I didn't expect that the person who supported Ms. Rowling would be you. When I first heard about it, I was shocked!" Iliad looked About forty years old, with a slightly fatter figure. After seeing Zhang Dongcheng, he immediately walked over to welcome him.

"Mr. Eliade, hello! You are too proud!" After shaking hands with the other party, Zhang Dongcheng, led by the other party, came to the office.

"Mr. Smith, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?" Iliad asked politely.

"Tea. Thank you!"

Not long after, Iliad's secretary placed a cup of tea and a cup of strong coffee in front of them.

After the secretary left, Eliade asked: "Mr. Smith, I don't know who you are looking for this time?"

"I would like to ask, how is the sales of the first Harry Potter book?" Zhang Dongcheng asked Eliade after sniffing the tea lightly.

"It's not bad! Ms. J.K. Rowling is a newcomer after all. So far, more than 3,000 copies have been sold in the UK!" Eliard replied.

In a few days, more than 3,000 copies were sold. For a newcomer author, this is already a very good result, especially since Harry Potter is classified as a children's book. With such achievements, this is even more rare.

But Zhang Dongcheng frowned. He is very dissatisfied with this achievement. As far as Zhang Dongcheng knows, the Harry Potter series of novels have been translated into 67 languages, and the total sales volume of all versions exceeds 500 million (as of 2008), ranking among the best-selling novels in the world. . Compared with such achievements, it is obviously far behind now.

"Mr. Smith!" Eliard saw his dissatisfaction from Zhang Dongcheng's expression, and immediately persuaded: "Ms. J.K. Rowling is a newcomer after all, and this book belongs to the category of children's books. There are Such a result is already very good!"

"No! I don't think it's enough!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head.

"Oh! Mr. Smith, you don't know something!" Eliard also shook his head and explained: "Children's books are always relatively unpopular books, especially Ms. J.K. Rowling is still a newcomer. Your request cannot Too high!"

Zhang Dongcheng smiled slightly, "Mr. Eliard, you say that because you don't understand the excellence of Harry Potter! Do you believe it? The Harry Potter series will eventually become one of the few bestsellers in the world!"

"This..." Iliad had obvious doubts on his face. Obviously he didn't think Zhang Dongcheng's words would be true. Although the current sales are good, they are far from the best-selling type in the world.

Zhang Dongcheng didn't care about this either, anyway, the facts will prove everything in the future.

"Okay, excuse me. Mr. Eliard, but I hope the Royal Publishing House can increase the promotion of Harry Potter, can you?" Zhang Dongcheng stood up and proposed when he was about to leave.

"Of course! But I still don't think a children's book will sell much!" Eliade insisted on his point of view.

Zhang Dongcheng smiled, with strong confidence in his tone, and said: "Then let us wait and see!"

After leaving the Royal Publishing House, Zhang Dongcheng drove towards his cousin, thinking about what method should be used to arouse Harry Potter's popularity as soon as possible.
