Chapter 287 The Union of Sony and DreamWorks

How to measure the strength of Warner Bros. to promote the Harry Potter series? In fact, the most intuitive thing is the popularity of the series. In the absence of other products, it is nothing more than the sales of novels.

Before Duke Studio and Warner Bros. established Harry Potter Studio, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sold more than 30,000 copies in the past year, and then Harry Potter Studio began to launch energy All the forces mobilized - for example, Duke is not the first time for the Harry Potter series - from book reviewers to various charts to major media, to promote this work, in just a few months , Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sold nearly 400,000 copies, and this is just the beginning, and the market effect will take a while to truly manifest.

No one can deny that capital and media groups have huge influence in this country and even the entire Western world, and capital is born for profit. into it.

Even Duke didn't know what means they used to get the National Federation of Teachers and Parents to list two Harry Potter books as their recommended extracurricular readings.

In the special issue of the New York Times, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone also quietly squeezed into the ranks of the bestseller list, and several well-known book reviewers jointly strongly recommended...

Also, after the event in Los Angeles, Time Warner prepared a special train for Joanna Rowling to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, starting from King's Cross Station, passing through all the important cities in the British Isles, Start a grand publicity and signing event.

In addition, Warner Bros. is heavily promoting the work in all English-speaking countries.

Even Duke has to admit that literary or film and television works that explode in the English-speaking Five Base Friendship Zone often become world-class works and can easily affect other countries and regions. Today's society is, after all, a world dominated by Western culture.

As long as Harry Potter breaks out in English-speaking areas, the rest won't be a problem.

In the subsequent interview, Duke naturally did his best to say good things about Joanna Rowling on this matter of vital interest.

Joe is a very admirable writer and a true hero. It is an inspirational legend in our lives to be able to create such excellent works under such difficult circumstances.

Now what Duke said to reporters is excellent hype material, how could Harry Potter studio let it go? Using Joanna Rowling's experience to shape the image project with the media, to further promote the work by promoting the writer. This is a very common propaganda tool.

Duke was well-prepared to participate in this promotion, and then threw a heavy topic, I think Ms. Joanna Rowling's experience is a very suitable subject, from the moment I learned about it. Very exciting, if I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to make an inspirational film about Ms. Rowling myself.

This remark was thrown out, and the reporters surrounding Duke almost went crazy. With his current status in Hollywood, he can make a biographical film for people. Even if the other party is an unknown person, I am afraid it will be famous all over the United States.

There are some things that need to be said in moderation, and after that, Duke chatted with the reporters about the Matrix. Then he chose to retreat temporarily.

Are you really going to make a biographical film for Joanna Rowling?

Back in the banquet hall at the back, Charlize Theron greeted him, You wouldn't be serious, would you?

The news spread so quickly? Duke didn't answer her.

This news is too sensational. Charlize Theron rolled his eyes calmly, I am afraid that the moment you say it, it will spread to every corner of the banquet hall.

Charlize Theron is not stupid, and Duke will not tell her the answer if she asks clearly, and simply drags him to the resting place on the side.

You came here specifically for this series of novels?

After sitting down, Charlize handed Duke a glass of champagne and asked, Is it really that good? I don't remember your first time?

I invested a lot of money in it. Duke picked up the champagne, took a sip with Charlize, and replied casually, No one wants to see their investment fail. If I recommend it, it will always have some effect.

It's more than just some effect.

Looking at Duke, Charlize Theron muttered, From the beginning of the Titanic hit this year, there has been a media hype, saying you and James Cameron and Steven Speer Berg was one of the three biggest Hollywood directors of the 1990s.

The words of the media should not be taken seriously. Duke didn't care at all.

Charlize Theron ignored him and continued, The work you solemnly recommend will definitely attract the attention of many people.

The beautiful diamond was obviously trying to please him, and Duke took the glass, took a sip, and said nothing.

His task at the promotion meeting has been completed, and he does not plan to stay here for long. He said hello to Jeff Robinoff, and regardless of the media reporters aiming at the camera shot of him, with Charlize Said Long walked out of the hotel together.

Anyway, his playboy reputation has long been out, and it is not a big deal to bring a female companion to attend the event.

Driving around North Hollywood, Duke shook off the paparazzi who were following him, and drove up the road to Malibu, ready to take Charlize Theron back home.

When arriving west of Burbank, Charlize Theron suddenly suggested, Come to my place at night.

Duke turned to look at her without hesitation, Okay.

The Bentley quickly stopped in front of the cottage that Charlize Theron rented. Duke got out of the car and walked in with her. It was not the first time he had come here. It was not far from Malibu, and occasionally there were Occasionally come here to spend the night.

Charlize helped Duke take off his formal jacket, kicked off his high heels, and walked to the stereo with bare feet. She knew Duke's preferences, so she picked a specially prepared record, put it in and pressed the play button , the soothing piano music melodiously floated up.

Want something to drink? Charlize asked.

Clear water is fine.

Duke has never been very interested in alcoholic drinks. He took the water glass from Charlize and took a sip. Aren't you going to move?

I don't want to move. She came over and sat next to Duke. It's closer to you here.

Looking at those twinkling eyes, Duke reached out and raised her chin, not answering what she had just said. This kind of nonsense must not be taken seriously.

Sally, you're getting more and more beautiful.

After speaking, Duke took the initiative to kiss the two red lips, and a flexible tongue also got into his mouth for the first time.

While tasting Charlize's fragrant tongue, Duke grabbed her slender waist and slowly stroked up with one hand, rubbing gently across the silky satin dress.

The other fell down, lifted the hem of the dress, and grabbed onto the most attractive straight legs of Charlize's body.

Charlize's hands were also not idle. Not only did he flexibly unbutton Duke's shirt and help him take it off, he also pulled out the belt around his waist at lightning speed...

Duke rolled over and pressed Charlize on the sofa, trying to unbutton her dress, but Charlize stopped him.

Her flexible tongue burrowed into Duke's earhole, turned around, and said, Don't you think I'm the prettiest in my clothes?

Saying that, she gently pushed Duke away, and Duke looked at her with interest.

Charlize walked to the entrance of the room, put on four-inch high heels again, maximized the advantage of height and leg length, and walked back to the sofa where Duke was sitting with a catwalk that had been strictly trained. In front, I moved a chair and sat opposite.

Do you like me now? She raised a high eyebrow.

Duke looked at her with his chest in one hand and his chin in the other, but said nothing.

Charlize's folded legs suddenly changed, and the slender legs moved with the skirt, and the scenery under the dress was unmistakable.

Then, she stretched out a finger, wiped it lightly between her bright red lips, and slid down her white chin, slender neck, high chest and flat belly...

Seeing this, Duke slowly stood up. If he could hold back at this time, he was definitely not a normal man.

Charlize Theron also stood up, she turned around, slumped on the back of the chair, lifted her skirt, took the most sexy pose, turned her head and smiled at Duke.

!

Without her invitation, Duke had already pounced.

This is the bed that has maintained the longest relationship with Duke. The two are familiar with each other and cooperate tacitly. They can always easily stimulate each other's most sensitive and exciting places, and they also know how to make both parties bigger. of happiness.

A long night, and a fierce battle has only just begun.

Burbank is known as the media capital of the world. Not only the newly famous starlet like Charlize Theron, but also the big director like Steven Spielberg, also bought a residence here.

About five miles north of Charlize Theron's villa is Burbank's wealthy settlement. Most of the people living in the business world or Hollywood circles are big or big stars. Spielberg's residence in Burbank right here.

Usually, this residence is rarely open, but tonight it was brightly lit. Spielberg deliberately chose this place to entertain a long-lost old friend-perhaps an old friend is not suitable, it should be a long-lost former agent. people.

Michael.

Sitting under the palm trees in the garden, the two of them were like old friends, but Spielberg's words always carried a slight distance, I didn't expect that after turning around, you would be fascinated again. Back in brokerage circles.

It's been here for a while, and Michael Ovitz decided to get straight to the point, Steven, I'm here for your production of Crash and my agency for Godzilla, we have a common competition Opponent! (To be continued^)
