Chapter 478, DreamWorks and Afternoon Tea
Visiting and then having a rest, the Beren couple of course did not intend to be a light bulb, so they broke up outside the construction site by the four of them. Parents still have a lot of serious things to be busy with, and it was the weekend, and it was rare that the seniors who had time to stay away from campus were also gossiping and had to continue talking.
The easiest thing to find in central London is the cafe. Although it is not the more lazy French and Mediterranean coast, the British people's love for coffee cannot help but blend into the afternoon tea culture. Just find a round table to sit on the street, a cup of fragrant coffee and a cup of fragrant black tea, and with three or two typical afternoon tea pastries, the two girls and the people around them naturally form a beautiful scenery on the street.
Phil put on a black round hat he had just bought on the street, with long silver hair shawls, and said with a smile: "I have chosen Chinese literature in Cambridge. Alice, is there an ancient poem that says that the spring breeze in April is like scissors?"
Alice was almost choking by the biscuit she had just swallowed. She quickly took a big sip of tea before she got angry: "Is the spring breeze in February good? Where do you remember April? Because it is April? Then it is August, do you still want to talk about the spring breeze?"
Senior Sister Phil really gives herself face when she actually studies Chinese literature, but the exposure of her mouth is really good.
But it doesn’t matter if you remember it wrong, but you’re afraid of it, but you still feel that you are right.
"Isn't it April? If February is scissors, what should April be? Two pairs of scissors?"
"Oh, then December is six, you might as well do wholesale." Alice gave strong complaints without any mercy, which finally made Phil's random thoughts go back.
After a few bites of refreshments, the two saw a young man sitting nearby, ordering a cup of black tea, three or two snacks, and then taking out a heavy book from the briefcase and reading it carefully.
Phil raised his top hat and looked over: "Hey, look at Alice, that person is reading... It seems like Harry Potter?"
Alice also looked over and looked at it. It was nearly one inch thick, with a bumpy kraft cover, and the typical cover pattern. Isn’t it the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which she just published a few months ago? Look at the young man who was reading the book, his thick black hair was constructed and his face was more handsome and handsome. At a glance, he knew he was a typical descendant of Angru Saxon and an authentic British.
"It seems that the British version has been launched."
"You don't know if your own works are available overseas?"
"I have a lot of emails every day, especially in literature. There are publishing houses that have made appointments with me every day. Can I still read them all?"
It was so reasonable that many entertainment staff members gave up their hearts. Phil smiled bitterly, but seeing the man reading seriously, he couldn't help but lift his chin. His slenderness caused him to smile lightly: "No matter what, Ali, this is one of your book fans. Do you want to go over and chat with him? I can guarantee that the probability of you getting him is absolutely perfect~"
Soak a handsome British pot?
Alice Sweeping Phil. If you want to talk about who is dressed the most British girlish style at this moment, of course, he is originally a British man, and now he is slutty in a black top hat.
"It seems that someone can't find a friend in Cambridge." Alice could not move her butt for half a step. She teased Phil: "Did you forget that 90% of our Eton's students are all male? If I really want to catch a kid, I still have to meet them in a cafe?"
What a thrilling speech, it’s not that Phil laughed constantly. Of course, she didn’t really want to tease the reader. But seeing him reading seriously, the related thoughts naturally couldn’t stop: “Ali, among your other friends and colleagues, are there many people reading your books?”
It's really worth counting by hand. Alice thought for a while and said, "Sisi reads every book, and she just reads it with a draft. Ashley has been learning things for the past two years and has no time to read novels, so is Maiya. If you want to say what her colleagues say, of course my programmers are picking up "Jurassic Park" and not giving it to you, but Mr. Lawrence has also read every book, after all, they all have the potential to adapt into movies."
Speaking of movies, this is certainly a topic that has enduring popularity, especially the British have a different kind of emotions about Hollywood. Phil quickly stroked his lips with his fingertips and said thoughtfully: "Movies, of course, there are TV series, Alice, I remember you bought a small TV station at the end of the year ago, right? There has been no movement?"
Look at this topic, where have you turned to.
Alice didn't rush to answer the question, but couldn't help but glance at the handsome reader. Well, don't mention whether she is "sensually interested" in men. Just from pure aesthetics, this young man who looks like a college student is indeed quite charming. Think about DreamWorks has been developing for four or five years, but there is no British actor yet. Maybe she can be a pimp?
"Ali~?" Then at this moment, Phil's palm swayed in front of her eyes: "It's distracting, it's distracting, it's a spring heart that's aroused~"
"You're just a spring heart!" Alice gave her senior sister annoyed.
"Then you stare at them. OK OK, why haven't you seen you develop that TV station?"
When I thought of it, Phil's curiosity about Alice's huge industry is not a little bit. After all, it would be fine to say that she is like a traditional entrepreneur, just like a traditional entrepreneur, and she has achieved billions of assets by just working hard alone; but Alice is constantly involved in all walks of life, and then every company has very good operating conditions. And she is not just a simple venture capitalist, but also has technical investments, which is too extraordinary.
But when it comes to TV stations...
There is no doubt that anyone can set up a private TV station as long as they are willing. On the premise of legality, it is the problem of setting up an antenna. The only problem is how many users can see his program...
"I bought it for more than one million in the stock market crash. The coverage of that TV station is only seven or eight channels in a small city." Alice yawned and said, "It's just that you are prepared for any trouble~ Oh~ Woo, in fact, according to its current scale, that one million was already extremely cheap."
Be prepared for any accidents, just one million, this little money is still affordable. Phil knows very well how much the junior girl earned in the stock market crash, so she immediately thought of the next step: "Dreamworks is also the company you joined in the early years. As long as it develops, it will definitely move towards the direction of the TV station. However, with your current assets, if you really want to add a TV network business to DreamWorks, you can also directly acquire Warner and Global, right?"
"Good idea~"
Alice didn't deny this proposal: "But you have to know, Phil, the basic cost of setting up an antenna is really not high. If I really buy Warner and their TV network, I will inevitably have to modify it. The purchase fee plus the modification fee, why am I so idle? Even if they have experienced management and connections, we can't just poach people directly, and that's much cheaper."
So, talking about career with a super big boss is a humiliation. Phil felt that he could not keep up with the rhythm: "Wait, what does it mean to modify? What can you do to modify? Isn't it just watching a TV? Do you want to use everyone's TV as...computer...?"
Phil was really surprised to see Alice's head lit like something.
"BT, Cisco Systems, and DreamWorks and the small TV station that I just acquired, senior sister, don't you think they have the potential to combine together?"
I really don't feel...
Phil smiled bitterly and said, "Alice, my major in Cambridge is just ordinary business administration. Don't be too difficult for people, okay?"
It seems that this topic cannot be discussed any more. Alice expressed great understanding. Then the two girls immediately talked about other messy things and then enjoyed afternoon tea. The fog is rare in London today, and she doesn't feel cold when sitting outdoors for a long time. Phil was able to peek at the Alice's book fan from time to time. Judging from the thickness he had read, the midnight duel between Harry and Malfoy should have ended.
"Ali, your Eton has never been in vain for the past few years." Phil leaned on his chin and smiled: "In three or two years, you will have to compile such a series of novels with great potential. Let me tell me when will the second one be published? What kind of adventure will Harry and the others have to go through?"
Think about it, the time is almost the same. As early as the promotion of "The Sorcerer's Stone", Bantams said that the Harry Potter series would be released a year. It is April now, but the publisher still has not made any relevant news. Fans in the circle have long been unable to contain the power of the prehistoric world.
"Summer vacation is of course summer vacation." Alice didn't have to think about it: "Every book starts with the summer vacation, and then Harry goes to school, and then the whole school year has passed and the summer vacation is back. Of course, my book also has to follow this rule, and it can catch up with readers' summer vacation~"
"Ah~ that's really worth looking forward to." Just have a correct letter. Everyone can wait for two or three months. Phil's eyes lit up again, and obviously came up with an excellent idea.
"Yes Alice, when are you going to bring Harry Potter to the screen? Batman is now set to be released in the summer season. Why don't you add another movie to DreamWorks?"
Oh, yes, after the filming is completed, the BC comics boy fans, of course "Batman" will be in the summer season.
As for Phil's question, Alice blinked, but shrugged regretfully.
Chapter completed!
