The Goddess Shines on America

Just kidding, now is the time to bring Harry Potter to the big screen?

Well, Alice also knows that this novel has become a phenomenal work. Unlike JK Rowling's "Sorcerer's Stone" back then, her book has the thickness of "Deathly Hallows" directly. It is said that "Harry Potter" is slow, but it is actually Rowling's first two or three books too. Thin, as long as the amount of information comes up, of course every second will be a super-best-selling work.

So on weekdays, of course, she also has a deep understanding of the popularity of the book "Myself". Just like during the period when school started in March this year, there were quite a few boys who couldn't help but surround themselves. Think about it, Eaton’s school age is twelve to eighteen years old, and the school uniform happens to be a British-style slim tuxedo. The students’ sense of substitution in reading books is absolutely indispensable. How can we not treat Alice as an idol? ?

Of course, the existence of Hogwarts is very easy to explain, is the writer himself a student of Eton? Art originates from life and is higher than life. The seven-year magic apprenticeship and high-end school uniforms in black robes, the antique Scottish castle and the professors who speak British English. Isn’t this an upgraded version of Etonian students?

Of course, everyone knows that "Harry Potter" was first published by Bantam in the United States, but the difficulty of translating American words into English is of course much easier than translating the full text into Japanese or Portuguese, and the cultural atmosphere is stronger. Needless to say. Therefore, only half a year is enough for this Alice version of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to reach a new height that can make people mention film and television.

However, this can only be a thought for a short time.

Just kidding, how can the current special effects make a high-end "Harry Potter"! ?

It’s not the remake of King Kong in the 1930s in the millennium. DreamWorks will have enough special effects after a wait of ten years, and this is a large-scale series with at least seven parts. In the dignified Hollywood, even if you want to make a fuss, you have to have a cycle of decades, right?

Besides, actors are also a big problem.

In the Alice version of the "Harry Potter" series, Hermione is described according to the actor's original text...

"If we really want to shoot, we need to select a large number of special actors, and we have to choose from children around the age of eleven, and then we have to take into account the progress of the filming of these few episodes and the growth of adolescence. ..."

Alice's denial couldn't stop Senior Sister Phil from continuing to lust. Thinking about it carefully, this large series really cannot be started hastily, there are simply too many things to consider!

"And there is also the problem of length." Alice pointed out a sharp problem in person: "Every book I write is based on 500,000 words, and you know the amount of information. A two-hour movie is not enough. How much content should be explained. Therefore, if filming really starts, each book will have an upper and lower part.”

This is a very good situation. Phil gritted his teeth, and when it was clearly irrelevant, she felt dizzy: "I think it's more reliable for you to make TV series. If it's just a movie, it's just a movie." If so, then..."

After thinking about it for a while, Alice also felt a bit big.

No way, she really expanded the amount of information in the book too much.

In fact, it's really easy to write. After all, you are also a person who came back from the 21st century. Who doesn't know the concept of fan fiction? Some of the HP romance fanfic that has gone to the Internet, some of which are created by European and American fans, Alice casually borrowed points to expand into the original text, is it not enough to increase the length by how many times?

So now, the trouble is really big.

After all, it is different from the romance of a certain Jiang who has gone to sea, Alice can't really use Korean drama methods to tell a lot of words about the love plot. Now, a piece of "Sorcerer's Stone" has been expanded by her to the level of "Deathly Hallows", even if only one-fifth of it is used to describe the world view in detail... It must mean that the style of the next few books will be stronger. A far cry from Rowling.

It's easy to put together "The Chamber of Secrets" and "The Prisoner" to have 500,000 words, but when it comes to the fourth and seventh books...then it must be doubled to one million, and the "original text" part can hardly be read. If you copy it directly, you have to be properly modified by Alice.

Of course, novel creation itself is not difficult, the key problem is...

"... Film and television."

After afternoon tea, Alice excused herself from being busy, and separated from Senior Phil. Walking alone among the skyscrapers in the financial district of London, she deeply experienced what pain in the egg is.

Because, she is very sure that she will make "Harry Potter" into a film and television, and instead of making a movie with such a masterpiece that has influenced the growth of a generation, is she out of her mind?

Moreover, one of the best advantages of children's literature is that any generation of teenagers can read it. Since the main scenes in the book all take place in Hogwarts, boys and girls of any generation can find themselves in this series. When her peers of Alice's generation also have children, they will just be able to catch up with a film and television series. seven years!

So, how can the current set of "Harry Potter" be changed into film and television...

"Sign a long-term contract directly. When around 2000, my DreamWorks is definitely qualified for this." Although Roger Lawrence is of course the controlling shareholder, Alice undoubtedly has a heavyweight say in the company's operations . With one hit film after another being staged one after another, coupled with comprehensive operations such as TV networks, DreamWorks is of course qualified to sign contracts with a large number of actors with harsh conditions.

"Two movies a year are divided into upper and lower parts, and even American drama plans can be launched. One is to explain the plot of 50 to 1 million words within four hours, and the other is to explain the story thoroughly in about 22 episodes. .Money isn't an issue, but it's going to be hard to get a bunch of school-aged actors to have the time, especially with the Children's Rights Society in mind..."

"Increase the proportion of CG technology in the film, like "Life of Pi" in the whole studio? It is impossible to replace all the sets, but it is possible to simplify the actors' work to the greatest extent. If I personally perform special effects, Even if the expressions and lines are not good enough, they can be corrected..."

It’s really not a problem to think about it. Alice can indeed make video editing software that is so powerful and fake audio editing software. If it's just a slight flaw in the expression, she can indeed make up for it in the later stage, but it is a big hidden danger to the actor's acting skills, and it will make everyone fall into the name of a vase.

"Ah~ I don't care, what are you thinking so far~"

There was a bench at the edge of the sidewalk, and Alice sat down to take a nap. This place is still along the Thames River, facing the six tall buildings in Vanda Square, which is about to be constructed.

Although it is a chain of real estate in the plan, Alice will certainly not foolishly let the same type of office buildings spread all over the world. This is different from the Wal-Mart supermarket. How can an office building group that can become a secondary landmark building in any city not have the characteristics of adapting measures to local conditions?

The height should not be exaggerated.

Because it was a plagiarized idea, Alice certainly knew how a certain Wang Dong planned it. Office buildings in first-tier cities are at least 200-meter super high-rise buildings, second-tier cities are at least 120-meter super high-rise buildings, and third-tier cities are not less than 80-meter high-rise buildings. Such a general construction plan.

But between Alice and a certain Wang Dong, there is one most obvious difference - the other party lives exclusively on real estate, and the more rent the better, while Alice builds buildings everywhere just to increase the influence of the entire "consortium" .

Yes, just for influence. Although after Vanda really develops, even if it does not go public, it can bring Alice 100 billion U.S. dollars in corporate property, but it is reasonable to say that the penguins in Shenzhen only occupy one building, and they have a market value of 200 to 300 billion dollars, okay?

What I want is not that little rent, but what I want is that there are some companies stationed there.

Although this first square is located in London, an international financial metropolis, the height of 150 meters is enough, not to mention that there are only six buildings after all. It is no longer the era of only skyscraper theory, especially European cities have always been non-skyscraper theory, and improving the quality of tenants is Alice's current pursuit.

"Microsoft's European headquarters, Cisco's European headquarters, these two companies occupy Building A and Building B respectively."

At this time, sitting by the river, looking at her own property that was about to be completely completed, Alice had already begun to start a small stove for her colleagues.

"After the scale is officially up, Vanda will also have to occupy a building, and maybe the umbrella can also get a share? Ah...that's four buildings. I only have six buildings in total at the moment, and I won't give it to other companies. It's not a good way to live, is it?"

Alice thought about it for a while, and then gave up the plan. Anyway, the Roswell Building is also in the financial district, and the location did not wrong the two of them. After all, the umbrella has already established a research institute in Exeter, and the more than 1,000 square meters on the top floor of the Roswell Building is enough for three or two years.

London's urban planners have fully considered the factors of the capital's thousand-year history, so the buildings in the skyscraper district are all bright and beautiful, with a strong sense of fashion, which can be in sharp contrast with those of the Victorian and even older architectural districts. Therefore, the six buildings of Vanda are also full of sunlight, and the curved glass curtain walls refract the light enchantingly. All the buildings are like noble ladies, standing upright in the center of this world-famous international financial city.

"That's it again..." With one hand on the back of the chair, Alice took out her sunglasses from her bag and put them on, looking across the river: "Senior Phil reminded me that the TV station should also develop Now that digital video technology has been released, if I don’t speed up the popularization of set-top boxes, wouldn’t I be too ashamed of my identity as the founder of Cisco?”

Well, I found myself a new job, why am I so busy?

Just at this moment, the phone in the bag suddenly rang, and Alice took it out to see that it was from her father.

what's the situation?
