Chapter 946 Help the works on a blind date [400 months
The breeze blew across the lawn, and the newly trimmed lawn emitted the unique smell of grass.
Some people like the taste of this grass after being cut in half, while others avoid it.
In the vast world, it is normal for different hobbies. In addition to not liking the rumbling sound of lawn mowers, this neat and smooth lawn still looks very comfortable.
Many people sit on the lawn to read books or chat, which makes them look particularly comfortable under the sunshine.
Not far away is a music club that is setting up a stage to prepare for an open-air performance.
"Why are you dressing so formally today? Are you going to attend If You Are the One?" An Mi asked in a pretext.
Zhang Chu in front of him was wearing a white shirt, looking very like a male lead in a young campus TV series. He was handsome, long and long legs and was still a great master. He was simply not equipped with an idol drama!
Now there is only one Cinderella.
Zhang Chu was actually a little uncomfortable. He always felt a little tight in his shirt. It was probably because he had been training his body and gaining muscles recently. This was a little smaller than the same model of clothes.
"I'm going to help my work with a blind date today, hoping to find a good partner for it."
As expected, the producer in charge of the negotiations of Universal Pictures should have arrived in Yanjing. It is estimated that after a short rest in the hotel, they will go to Hanlin Culture Media Company.
Zhang Chu had to take two more classes before he could pass, so there was not much time to let him go back and change his clothes.
Yang Ling asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Do you have something to authorize for your work?"
"A company came to talk about the movie "The Lord of the Rings". The situation is still unclear. I will tell you in detail after signing the contract." This is not for the sake of confidentiality. There is really not much to say, and there is no practical information at all.
An Mi nodded repeatedly: "It's good to shoot. I think there is no cool magical fight in "The Lord of the Rings". It seems easier to adapt. Remember not to find black actors. I'm not discriminating against black people, but I just feel that there is no need to force one in. It's normal to have black characters in shooting modern movies, but this kind of fantasy works is better. You have to respect the rules!"
"Speaking of this, there seems to be no black people in my work "The Da Vinci Code", but it is enough for the protagonist to be a yellow person, and the same is true for "Young Pi", the protagonist is an Indian."
From this perspective, Zhang Chu's works are really easily influenced by political correctness in the United States. After writing so many works, there is no black character in them. I wonder if the group of black people who like to make trouble will take advantage of the problem.
Several of them walked towards the teaching building, talking and laughing, and the topic turned to something else that happened in the school.
...
At the same time, Chris, who came from Los Angeles by plane, was leading a staff member of Universal Pictures China from the airport.
This was his first time to come to China, but it was found that it was far from the backward and poor scene he imagined.
Although he had long known that this is the second largest box office market in the world and the box office growth rate is still refreshing, the current Yanjing has forced him to admire it.
"Yanjing took decades to catch up with our development for hundreds of years, but this is a city that cleverly integrates modernity and history. The more we go to the city center, the older the buildings, and the more we have a sense of historical sedimentation."
Rodney, who came to China several years earlier than Chris, now acts as a tour guide. Universal Pictures has a great layout in China. Rodney is actually in charge of Universal Studios' theme park in Yanjing, not from the film department.
In this way, the risk of being leaked will be much smaller.
Even though they had a good relationship when they were in Los Angeles, they both graduated from USC. Although they were not the same major, they worked in the same company with the same background, so there was inevitably a common topic.
"It's unbelievable that this country is really developing rapidly. No wonder there is a writer like Zhang Chu. My friend, you must know Zhang Chu?" Chris asked, wanting to know what Zhang Chu is like in the eyes of locals.
Rodney made a strange voice while driving, "In China, only those who live alone in the forest will not know this person. He is very famous in China, probably like a copy of the American Dream. Their college entrance examination is somewhat similar to Sat. In that exam, he was the highest scorer in a city. After that, he participated in the fan essay contest for Warner's "Detective Sherlock". The popular TV series "Detective Sherlock" that was changed to bbc..."
Since they had already asked, Rodney simply started to talk about Zhang Chu's journey of becoming famous!
"You know he has written "Pi" and "Da Vinci Code" and other works that are very famous in the United States, but in fact, he still has many works that have not been translated into English. They are of Chinese culture and a strong oriental atmosphere. Many people may not have read the books he wrote, but they must know that there is such a person. Man, do you know how many people liked it by Zhang Chu's microblog yesterday? It was announced the names of his two books on the Lord of the Rings, and it turned out that more than 3 million people liked it, which was very popular!"
Chris did not interrupt his friend's remarks, but he was wondering whether the chips in his hands could impress Zhang Chu.
The young writer has successfully entered Hollywood with several works, and does not need to discover him from his nameless status himself.
Only with sufficient interests and full sincerity can the copyright of this series be taken over!
Since I decided to make a movie, I must get the remaining copyrights, otherwise I can only make wedding dresses for others, as Hollywood companies would not be as stupid as they would be.
"There is a little information I have collected in the cabinet in front of you. I don't know if you can use it. Maybe you have done a survey in advance." Rodney is very free in his usual work, and he knows some Chinese, so he made such a thing.
"I don't know what to say, but thank you so much!"
The information collected by Chris asked his assistant to collect is not complete, and he seems to have never considered the other party's influence in China. He counts what Google searches, instagram, Facebook, Twitter followers, book sales in the United States, etc.
He opened the document and found that many Chinese characters that he couldn't understand had simple notes next to them.
For example, the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" was rated on Douban Reading. He couldn't understand the printed evaluation, but there were 120,000 people who commented, and the score was stable at 8.8 points. This is still understandable.
"His book is not very popular in China. It may be because of the magical works and the identities of the protagonists. On the contrary, I like to read it very much. I hope our company can get the copyright of this work, so that several other projects can be added to the Universal Studios theme park!"
Rodney is from the perspective of work this time. Judging from what he has seen so far, many scenes in "The Lord of the Rings" are indeed suitable for moving to the theme park.
Who wouldn't want to meet a few noble elves in Rivendale?
