Chapter 287

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 the novel.

Before the establishment of Harry Potter Studio by Duke Studio and Warner Bros., "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sold more than 30,000 copies in nearly a year, and then Harry Potter Studio began to mobilize All the forces mobilized-such as Duke is not the first time for the Harry Potter series-from book reviewers to various rankings to major media, to promote this work in just a few months , "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has sold nearly 400,000 copies, and this is just the beginning, the market effect will be truly reflected after a period of time.

No one can deny that capital and media groups have a huge influence in this country and the entire Western world. Capital is born for profit. When this series reveals enough potential, the behemoth Time Warner also joins. Here.

Even Duke didn't know what methods they used to get the National Federation of Teachers and Parents to list the two volumes of Harry Potter as a key recommendation for extracurricular reading.

In the "New York Times" special issue, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" also quietly squeezed into the ranks of the bestseller list. Several well-known book reviews ≠≥, and they jointly recommend it...

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

In addition, Warner is vigorously promoting this work in all English-speaking countries.

Even Duke has to admit that the literary or film and television works that have exploded in the English-speaking community tend to become world-class works, which 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 the English-speaking area, the rest will no longer be a problem.

In the subsequent interview, Duke naturally said good things for Joanna Rowling in matters of this kind of vital interests.

"Joe is a very admirable writer and a true brave man. In such a difficult situation, being able to create such an outstanding work is an inspirational legend in our lives."

What Duke is telling reporters now is an excellent hype material. How could Harry Potter Studio let it go? Using Joanna Rowling's experience to use the media to shape the image project, so as to further promote the work in the way of propaganda writers, this is a very conventional means of propaganda.

To participate in this promotion, Duke is well prepared. Then he threw a heavyweight topic, "I think Ms. Joanna Rowling's experience is a very suitable subject. From the moment I learned about it, I was very excited. If there is a chance in the future, I want to make it myself. An inspirational film about Ms. Rowling."

With these words thrown out, the reporters surrounding Duke almost went crazy, given his current status in Hollywood. Be able to shoot a biographical movie for someone, even if the other person is unknown. I am afraid it will be well-known throughout the United States.

Some words should be adequate. After finishing these words, Duke talked with these reporters about the topic of "The Matrix", and then 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, "Aren't you serious?"

"The news spread so quickly?" Duke did not answer her.

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

Charlize Theron is not stupid, and Duke will not tell her the answer after asking clearly, so he simply drags him to the resting place.

"Are you here specifically for this series of novels?"

After sitting down, Charlize handed Duke a glass of champagne. Asked, "It's really that good? I remember this is not your first time, right?"

"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, there will always be some results."

"More than just some effect."

Looking at Duke, Charlize Theron murmured, "Since the sale of "Titanic" this year, there has been media hype about you, James Cameron and Steven Spear. Berg was one of Hollywood's top three directors in the nineties."

"What the media say is not true." Duke didn't care at all.

Charlize Theron doesn't care about him, and continues, "The works you solemnly recommend will definitely attract the attention of many people."

This beautiful diamond was obviously to please him. Duke took the wine 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 greeted Jeff Robinoff, regardless of the media reporter's camera lens that he snapped with Charlize Seychelles. Long walked out of the hotel together.

Anyway, his name as a **** has long been out, and bringing a female companion to the event is not a big deal.

Driving around North Hollywood, Duke shook off the paparazzi behind him, then drove on the road to Malibu, returning home while preparing to send Charlize Theron back.

When arriving in the west of Burbank, Charlize Theron suddenly suggested, "Go to me at night."

Duke turned his head and glanced at her without hesitation, "Okay."

The Bentley quickly stopped in front of the small villa rented by Charlize Theron. Duke got out of the car and walked in with her. This is not the first time he has come. It is not far from Malibu Ben, and occasionally Sometimes I will come here for the night.

Charlize helped Duke take off his formal jacket, kicked off her high heels, and walked barefoot to the speaker. Knowing Duke's preferences, she chose a specially prepared record, put it in and pressed the play button. , The soothing piano music drifted melodiously.

"Would you like something to drink?" Charlize asked.

"Clean water is good."

Duke has never been very interested in alcoholic beverages. He took the glass from Charlize and took a sip, "Aren't you planning to move?"

"I don't want to move anymore." She walked over and sat next to Duke. "Here is closer to you."

Looking at those blinking eyes, Duke reached out and lifted her chin, not picking up the topic she had just mentioned. This kind of nonsense must not be taken seriously.

"Sally, you are getting more and more beautiful."

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

While tasting Charlize's scented tongue, Duke grabbed her slender waist and stroked it slowly with one hand, gently rubbing it through the silk-satin-like dress.

The other one went down, opened the hem of the dress, and firmly grasped the straight long leg 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 drew out the belt from his waist at lightning speed...

Duke turned over and pressed Charlize on the sofa. Just about to untie her dress, Charlize stopped it.

Her flexible tongue pierced into Duke's ear hole, turned around, and said, "Don't you think I am the most beautiful in clothes?"

With 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, to maximize the advantages of height and leg length, and walked back to the sofa where Duke was sitting in a swaying posture with the catwalk that had been strictly trained. In front, moved a chair and sat on the opposite side.

"Do you like me now?" She raised her brows.

Duke put his chest in his arms and looked at her with his chin in the other, but didn't speak.

Charlize's overlapping legs suddenly changed, and the slender legs moved to bring up the skirt, and the scenery under the dress was undoubtedly obvious.

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

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

Charlize Theron also stood up, she turned around, leaned on the back of the chair, lifted up the skirt, assumed the sexiest posture, turned her head and smiled at Duke.

"!"

Without her invitation, Duke had already rushed forward.

This is the bed with the longest relationship with Duke. Together, the two are familiar with each other and cooperate with each other. They can always easily stimulate the most sensitive and exciting places of each other, and they also know how to make both parties bigger. Happiness.

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

Burbank is known as the media capital of the world. Not only small stars such as Charlize Theron, but also big directors such as Steven Spielberg live here.

About five miles to the north from Charlize Theron's villa, Burbank's rich colony is populated by big figures or celebrities in business or Hollywood circles. Spielberg's residence in Burbank right here.

Usually, this residence is rarely open, but it is brightly lit tonight. Spielberg deliberately chose this place to entertain an old friend who has been absent for a long time. Perhaps the old friend is not suitable. It should be a long-lost former broker. people.

"Michael."

Sitting under the palm trees in the garden, the two of them are like familiar old friends, but Spielberg's words always carry the distance, "I didn't expect to turn around, you Back to the broker circle."

It's been here for a while, and Michael Ovitz decided to go straight to the subject, "Steven, I'm here for your production of "Clash of Heaven and Earth" and "Godzilla" that I represent. We have a common competition Opponents!" (To be continued...)
