Chapter 287 The Union of Sony and DreamWorks
How to measure the strength of Warner Bros. promoting the Harry Potter series? In fact, the most intuitive thing is the popularity of the series. In the absence of other products, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the sales of novels...≦
Before the Duke Studio and Warner Bros. founded Harry Potter Studio, more than 30,000 copies of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" sold in nearly a year, and then Harry Potter Studio began to activate all the power that can be activated - for example, it was not the first time that Duke stood up for the Harry Potter series - from book reviewers to various rankings to major media, it fully promoted this work. In just a few months, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" sold nearly 400,000 copies, and this was just the beginning, and the market effect would be truly reflected after a while.
No one can deny that Capital and Media Group have huge influence in this country and the entire Western world, and capital is born for profit. When this series reveals enough potential, Time Warner, a behemoth, also joined it.
Even Duke didn't know what they used to solve the National Federation of Teachers and Parents, and asked him to list two volumes of Harry Potter as the key recommendation of extracurricular reading materials.
In the special issue of the New York Times, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone also quietly squeezed into the best-selling list, and several famous book reviewers jointly recommended it...
Also, after this event in Los Angeles, Time Warner prepared a special train for Joanna Rowling to Hogwarts Magic Academy, set off from Kings Cross Railway Station, and went through all the important cities in the British Isles to start a grand publicity and signing event.
In addition, Warner is vigorously promoting this work in all English-speaking countries.
Even Duke has to admit that literary or film and television works that have been popular in the English five gay friends zones often become world-class works and can easily influence other countries and regions. Today's society is ultimately 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 interview, Duke naturally said all the good things for Joanna Rowling in this kind of matter that concerns his vital interests.
"Joe is a very admirable writer, a true brave man. Being able to create such excellent works in such a difficult situation is an inspirational legend in our lives."
What Duke said to reporters now is excellent hype and publicity materials. How could Harry Potter Studio let it go? Using Joanna Rowling's experience to shape image projects with the media, so as to further drive the works by promoting writers. This is a very conventional publicity method.
Duke was well prepared to participate in this promotional meeting. Then he threw out a heavyweight topic, "I think Ms. Joanna Rowling's experience is a very suitable subject. From the moment I learned about it, I was extremely moved. If I had the chance in the future, I would like to make an inspirational video about Ms. Rowling myself."
After throwing these words, the reporters surrounding Duke were almost crazy. With his current status in Hollywood, he could shoot a biographical movie for others, even if the other party was an unknown person, he would probably be famous all over the United States.
Some words should be stopped in time. After saying this, Duke talked to these reporters about the topic of "The Matrix" and then chose to retreat temporarily.
"You really want to shoot a biographical movie for Joanna Rowling?"
Back in the banquet hall behind, Charlize Theron welcomed him, "You're not serious, are you?"
"The news spread so quickly?" Duke did not answer her words.
"This news is so sensational." Charlize Theron rolled his eyes calmly. "I'm afraid the moment you said it, it will reach every corner of the banquet hall."
Charlize Theron was not stupid. Duke wouldn't tell her the answer if he asked clearly, so he simply took him to the resting place.
"You came here specifically for this novel series?"
After sitting down, Charlize handed Duke a glass of champagne and 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 his investment fail. If I recommend it, it will always have some effect."
“It’s more than just some effects.”
After looking at Duke, Charlize Theron muttered, "Since the big sale of "Titanic" this year, there have been media hypes, saying that you, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg are the three major directors in Hollywood in the 1990s."
"The media should not be honest." Duke didn't care at all.
Charlize Theron ignored him and continued, "The works you solemnly recommend will inevitably attract the attention of many people."
This beautiful diamond was obviously pleasing to him. Duke took the wine glass, took a sip, and said nothing.
His mission at the promotion meeting has been completed, and he doesn't plan to stay here for a long time. He greeted Jeff Robinoff, regardless of the media reporter's directed at the camera shot he was taking, and walked out of the hotel with Charlize Theron.
Anyway, he has been away for a long time, so it is not a big deal to bring a female companion to attend events.
After driving around North Hollywood, Duke shook off the paparazzi following behind, then drove onto the road to Malibu, and while returning home, he was about to send Charlize Theron back.
When he arrived in the west of Burbank, Charlize Theron suddenly suggested, "Go to my place tonight."
Duke turned his head and glanced at her without hesitation, "Okay."
The Bentley soon stopped in front of the small villa rented by Charlize Theron. Duke got out of the car and walked in with her. This was not the first time he had come here. It was not far from Malibu, and occasionally he would come here to spend the night.
Charlize helped Duke take off his formal jacket, kick off his high heels, and then walked to the side of the audio barefoot. She knew Duke's preferences, picked a specially prepared record, put it in and pressed the play button, and the soothing piano music floated melodiously.
"Want to drink something?" Charlize asked.
"Just clear water."
Duke has never been very interested in alcoholic beverages. He took the water cup from Charlize and took a sip, "Aren't you going to move?"
"I don't want to move anymore." She came over and sat next to Duke, "here is closer to you."
Looking at those blinking eyes, Duke reached out and lifted her chin, not accepting the topic she had just said. Such nonsense must not be taken seriously.
"Sally, you're getting more and more beautiful."
After saying that, Duke took the initiative to kiss the two red lips, and a flexible tongue also penetrated into his mouth as soon as possible.
While tasting Charlize's fragrant tongue, Duke grabbed her slender waist and slowly stroked one hand, gently rubbing it through the dress as smooth as silk.
The other one fell to the bottom, opened the hem of the dress, and grabbed Charlize's most seductive straight and long legs.
Charlize's hands were also not idle. Not only did he flexibly unbutton Duke's shirt and helped him take it off, he also pulled out the belt around his waist at lightning speed...
Duke turned over and pressed Charlize on the sofa, and was about to unbutton her dress, but Charlize stopped him.
Her flexible tongue drilled into Duke's ear hole, turned around, and said, "Don't you think I am the most beautiful in clothes?"
As she said that, she gently pushed Duke away, and Duke looked at her with great enthusiasm.
Charlize walked to the entrance of the room, put on four-inch high heels again, and took advantage of the height and legs length to the extreme. With the cat steps he had been trained, he swayed back to the front of the sofa where Duke was sitting, moved a chair and sat opposite him.
"Do you like me now?" She raised her high brows.
Duke looked at her with one hand and holding her chin with the other, but he didn't say anything.
Charlize's legs, which were overlapping, suddenly changed, and his slender legs moved and brought up the hem of the skirt, and the scenery under the skirt was undoubtedly revealed.
Then, she stretched out a finger, gently wiped it between her bright red lips, and then slid downwards over her white chin, her slender neck, her towering chest and her flat belly...
Seeing this, Duke slowly stood up. If he could hold back at this time, he would definitely not be a normal man.
Charlize Theron also stood up. She turned around, lay on the back of the chair, lifted up the hem of her skirt, posed in the sexy pose, and turned her head and smiled at Duke.
"!"
Without her invitation, Duke rushed over.
This is the bed that has the longest relationship with Duke. With his companionship, the two of them are familiar with each other and cooperate with each other. They can easily stimulate each other's most sensitive and excited parts, and they also know what ways to make both parties happy.
It was a long night, and a fierce battle had just begun.
Burbank is known as the world's media capital. Not only are there new famous little stars like Charlize Theron, but also big directors like Steven Spielberg, who also buy a residence here.
About five miles north of Charlize Theron's villa, it is the richest settlement in Burbank. The people living in basically all big names or big stars in the business world or Hollywood circle. Spielberg's residence in Burbank is here.
Usually, this residence was rarely open, but it was brightly lit tonight. Spielberg deliberately chose this place to entertain an old friend who had been missing for a long time - perhaps it was not suitable for an old friend, and he should be a former agent who had been missing for a long time.
"Michael."
Sitting under the palm trees in the garden, the two of them were like familiar old friends, but Spielberg's words always had a vague distance, "I didn't expect that after a walk around, you returned to the circle of agents."
It has been a while here, and Michael Orwitz decided to get straight to the topic, "Steven, I'm here for you to produce "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" and "Godzilla" I represented, we have common competitors!"
