Chapter 427: Finalizing the Role

Scholars Press attaches great importance to Shanhe's new work.

As soon as the Chinese version of the manuscript was sent to the editor-in-chief's mailbox, the editor-in-chief Curtis Carter immediately organized a capable translation and review team.

Looking at the red-eyed ladies in the team, Curtis Carter knew that Hua Xia Qiu would not let everyone down this time.

"What do you think? Tell us!"

"A deeply moving work. Qiu tells a story of a mother-son love born in evil but extremely pure!"

"Hua Xia Qiu's works always have a strong sense of substitution. This work is more delicate and the text is light, but there is a moving emotion in it. It is an undisputed masterpiece!"

"This is a realistic work. You can't just see the touching. Hua Xia Qiu wants to express much more than that. It needs to be interpreted from multiple perspectives such as psychology, anthropology, sociology, and political science..."

...

With the precedent of the global release of the novel "Youth Yi", Scholars Press established a large translation team within a week.

Partners of Scholar Press from various countries have sent elite translation talents.

As we all know, in this era of declining physical publishing industry, Hua Xia Qiu's new work conference is a rare feast for the global publishing industry!

Scholar Press then released news through various channels and began to warm up the novel. Various news about "Room" also began to spread on the Internet and newspapers.

"Hua Xia Qiu's new work "Room" has been finalized, and the release time is not yet determined. It is expected to meet readers in the near future!"

"Room" has touched editors from all over the world. This is a masterpiece that is no less than "Young Yi"!"

"Room" will let everyone know the greatness of maternal love. It is the purest and most sacred feeling in the world!"

…

After "Young Yi's Fantastic Drifting", another novel by Shanhe is about to meet readers. This news brings a lot of surprises and expectations to Shanhe's huge fan base.

The discussion on the Internet is very lively.

"Qiu's efficiency never disappoints. The release date of "Youth Yi" has just been set, and the new work has come out. I am looking forward to it!"

"Room", is Hua Xia Qiu writing a story about a mother this time?"

"Hathaway has revealed the information before. It is said that this is a novel written by Hua Xia Qiu for his wife!"

"Is it because of the cute Bernier? He is so funny. Every time I see his video, I always imagine that I have such a baby!"

"Haha... Indeed, Bernier is so cute. Our whole family likes him very much!"

…

The news that Shanhe's new book is about to be published has caused a bigger stir in China!

Shanhe's previous novel "Youth Yi's Fantastic Drifting" swept the world and won two old literary awards for Chinese literature in Europe.

The pride brought to the Chinese public can be imagined. Shanhe's new book is about to be released, which not only makes a group of Shanhe fans excited and expectant, but also attracts the attention and expectations of the majority of melon-eating people.

Can Shanhe's new work surpass "Youth Yi" and bring more surprises to everyone?

This topic was hotly discussed on the Internet.

The media reporters couldn't find Shanhe, so they surrounded Yang Liu, Shanhe's former agent.

"Mr. Yang, when will "Room" meet readers? Have you read the novel? What do you think?"

"It is said that "Room" was written by Shanhe for Hathaway and Xiao Xiong'er. Is this rumor true?"

"When does Shanhe plan to put the new work on the big screen? Will Hathaway be the heroine?"

…

Yang Liu looked at the reporters around him with a helpless look on his face.

"I have indeed read the novel. It is very touching. I cried several times. According to my In my opinion, Room is better than Young Yi. When it will be released, you have to ask Scholar Press. They will continue to release this novel simultaneously around the world. "

"It cannot be said that Shanhe wrote this book just for Hathaway and Xiao Xiong'er, but his inspiration must come from them. Shanhe is already adapting the script, and Hathaway will indeed be the heroine of the movie!"

…

Yang Liu is right. Shanhe is indeed busy adapting Room into a movie script at this time. Hathaway, as the established heroine, is also helping to give suggestions.

Compared with Shanhe's previous films, Room is an atypical reality theme. It is more like an independent film.

There are not many characters, simple scenes, and small investment!

The most important thing is the two leading actors!

Hathaway has been preparing for this role for more than a year. She has been with the Fritzler family in Austria for a while, and has a personal experience of being a mother for the first time. Shanhe believes that she can play the role of Elizabeth well.

But the other leading actor is a tricky problem. The role of Tate is a five-year-old child. It is not easy to find a suitable child actor.

In Shanhe's memory, the little actor in the original film amazed everyone. Shanhe was deeply impressed by the boy, but did not remember his name or experience.

It is probably difficult to find a child star comparable to him, and how to make the child find the feeling of Tate in the story is also a big problem.

On the set, children and animals are always the most difficult things to control!

The best way is to prepare in advance, let the child live with Hathaway for a period of time, and slowly follow Hathaway into the play.

There is no way, let's throw the problem to Bruckheimer!

The old rogue has been very comfortable during this period. "Young Yi" participated in the Venice Film Festival, which was originally within his expectations.

Shanhe doesn't care about the European Film Festival Grand Slam, but Bruckheimer cares very much.

Although Hollywood movies have beaten European movies to a pulp, the European film industry, as the birthplace of movies, has always been very arrogant and contemptuous of Hollywood.

They look down on the business model of Hollywood movies, believing that Hollywood movies are only temporary and will be replaced by others sooner or later.

Most M people have always had a complicated view of Europe. M has left Europe far behind, but it is still the ancestral land of M people and the basic base for M people to dominate the world.

Although M has infiltrated Europe, a considerable number of Europeans look down on M, believing that M people and M culture are vulgar and superficial!

Being recognized in the three major film festivals representing the European film industry has a significant impact on the M cultural circle, which will have a considerable bonus to Bruckheimer's future historical status!

After receiving Shanhe's call, Bruckheimer was even more refreshed!

Haha... Qiu is really a model worker. "Young Yi" has just been scheduled, and the next movie has begun preparations.

They are right. Bringing Qiu to Hollywood is my greatest achievement in my life. It is really a blessing from God!

With this cornucopia, how much honor and money have I gained? Isn't it just picking an actor? This is a good opportunity!

Shanhe thought that this little actor was a real problem, but it was not a problem for Bruckheimer, a veteran producer. On the contrary, it was a great opportunity for publicity!

He immediately called Disney Distribution and Scholar Publishing.

Two days later, Hua Xiaqiu's casting announcement for the movie "Room" adapted from his new work of the same name appeared on the pages of global entertainment media.

With the joint hype of Disney and Scholar Publishing, the release of "Young Easy" and the casting of "Room" soon became a hot topic of media and public discussion.

This news is a great opportunity for many families who want their children to become child stars.

Fisher Tang, who plays Young Easy, is a living example. Before "Young Easy" was released, he became popular all over the world.

He is very popular among teenagers. Once "Young Easy" is released, this previously unknown teenager will immediately become a money-making machine.

Many international brands have already invited him, and various script invitations are countless, even some Hollywood big productions.

It is said that "The Hunger Games", "Divergent" and "Maze Runner" have all invited Fisher Don.

A global teenage idol was lifted up by Hua Xia Qiu.

Now, the opportunity to become the next Fisher Don has come, and no one wants to miss it. Give it a try, just in case your child becomes the lucky one!

In just two days, Disney received tens of thousands of resumes and video photos, including all the child stars of the right age from Europe and the United States.

Bruckheimer and Disney started a large-scale audition hype.

Shanhe couldn't help laughing when he heard the old rogue's triumphant boasting on the phone.

I knew they would do this, so it's good. I hope that they can bring the little actors in the original film to me.

Putting aside these disturbances, Shanhe and Hathaway put most of their energy into the script adaptation of "Room".

At the end of May, Qiu Chuxi, the eldest princess of the Qiu family, returned home in a swagger.

The purpose of her return home was not just for her birthday. She also brought back a financing plan to promote the A round investment of "Geku.com" to the three rich men in the family!

Although Qiu Chuxi did it in a proper manner, there was not much negotiation atmosphere at the Qiu family's dinner table.

"Didn't your brother just give you 10 million yuan last year? You spent it all so quickly?"

"Mom, you don't sound like the chairman of Chuhe Group. The growth of Internet companies requires burning money. Taobao, Tencent, and Tudou.com, which my brother invested in, have all gone through this stage!"

"Your toy website can compare with others. I think you are just squandering money!"

Qiu Chuxi glanced at her mother who was making trouble, and didn't get entangled with her. She aimed at the Shanhe couple.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Geku.com has become the largest and most well-known toy retail website in the country. I have completed the first step of my plan. The next step is that we are going to expand our products to cosmetics and children's products. Our target groups are women and children, and these two groups happen to be the main consumer groups of online retail.

In addition, we are also planning to build storage centers in major first-tier cities across the country. We already have the foundation for this step, which is the flagship stores of Geku toys distributed in first-tier cities. Sister Nan and I have full confidence in Geku.com! "

"Oh! How much investment do you want?"

"10 million US dollars! We can give up 20% of the equity!"

Xie Meiyu laughed at the side,

"You, Qiu Chuxi, are really bold to ask for a high price. You have already split up Geku Company. The part managed by Nan Nan is your biggest profitable asset. Your Geku.com is just an empty shell. It can be worth 50 million US dollars. I think 5 million is about right!"

Qiu Chuxi was not angry at her mother's ridicule, and responded with a smile:

"Geku.com is not an unknown company in major investment banks at home and abroad. The valuation they gave us has exceeded 30 million US dollars. The Internet is not real estate. Mom, you are used to being a local tyrant. There is nothing else in your eyes, only land and houses! ”

Xie Meiyu was so angry at her daughter's words "local tyrants and evil gentry" that she stood up and prepared to punish her daughter,

"Poor girl! What did you say? I think you are itching for trouble and deserve to be punished!"

Qiu Chuxi dodged and hid behind her father,

"Dad, grandpa, grandma, master, look at my mother, she always sneers and pours cold water on me, and she gets angry when she can't get the upper hand!"

"Okay, okay, my daughter has grown up so much, don't always hit her!"

Qiu Jiang protected his daughter behind him and asked Shanhe and his wife,

"I think she and Nannan are doing well, Xiaohe, Nini, what do you think?"

"I have always been optimistic about Xixi!"

Hathaway covered her mouth and smiled and turned to Shanhe and said,

"Dear, if you don't invest, I will take all of Xixi's shares!"

"Let's each take half! ”

“Haha… That’s great, sister-in-law, don’t worry, your investment will at least double in two years, and then some old antiques will be jealous!”

Xie Meiyu actually loves her daughter, but the way the two mother and daughter get along is to quarrel and attack each other.

“Qiu Jiang, get out of the way. I must teach this stinky girl a lesson today!”

The two mother and daughter circled Qiu Jiang, and the whole family was happy to watch the excitement. It has been a long time since we saw the mother-daughter fight!

The little bear, who was held by his grandmother, couldn’t stay idle. He thought that his grandmother and aunt were playing games with his grandfather.

He broke free from his grandmother’s arms, laughed and took Doudou to join the fight between the mother and daughter. When Xie Meiyu saw that her eldest grandson had joined in, she immediately hugged the little bear and kissed him.

“For the sake of my eldest grandson, I will let you go today!”

What the little bear wanted at this moment was to play. He shouted to his aunt in his grandmother’s arms:

“Aunt, I want it too! ”

“Grandson, you also want shares!”

Xie Meiyu took advantage of the situation and glared at her daughter,

“Since grandson has spoken, I will invest a little too!”

“I dare not accept your investment. What if you use your status as a shareholder to deal with me in the future!”

“Qiu Jiang, hold your grandson!”

Xie Meiyu handed the little bear to her husband and pointed at her daughter and said,

“Today I will let you know that I can deal with you even if I am not a shareholder! ”

“Haha…”

After Qiu Chuxi celebrated her birthday at home and played with her nephew for a day, she hurriedly flew back to Shanghai. With the funds, she couldn’t wait to start the expansion of Geku.com.

In mid-June, Shanhe received the results of the first round of actor auditions sent to him by Bruckheimer.

Shanhe found the child he was looking for among nearly thirty photo resumes.

His name is Jacob Tremblay, he is seven years old this year and was born in Vancouver, Canada in 2006.

Shanhe didn’t hesitate and called Bruckheimer directly.

After receiving the call, the old rogue was surprised.

“What, you have already decided on the protagonist, but now the audition has only reached the second round! Qiu, can you be sure that this child can play the role of Tate just by looking at the photos?”

“Jerry, I choose actors based on my intuition. Have you forgotten how Fisher chose them?”

“Shit! Are you sure?”

“Sure! ”

“OK, I will arrange it, but you have to wait for a while, I have to finish this scene!”

“Whatever you want!”

“Qiu, how long do you plan to take to finish shooting “Room”?”

“This year, at the latest after the Venice Film Festival, you should finalize Jacob’s contract as soon as possible, he needs to come to China to get familiar with the role with Annie!”

“I know!”
