Chapter 748 Isn’t This Just Slapping Yourself in the Face?

It takes some time to get a visa, so Fang Minghua certainly won't be idle. The third part of Harry Potter has been written, and now he is writing the script for the first part.

Song Tangtang said on the phone that Warner Bros. invited Tony Gilroy, a famous Hollywood screenwriter, to write the script. He only gave some suggestions in the past, but Fang Minghua decided to write one himself.

Historically, the movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is relatively successful. The plot is more compact, the changes are relatively small, and the framework of the original novel is relatively well preserved.

The disadvantage is that there are many psychological descriptions missing, so that people who have not read the novel will feel that the story is moving too fast.

The establishment of the friendship between Hermione and Harry and Ron. In the first half of the novel, Harry and Ron both dislike Hermione, and there is almost no deep friendship between them. It was not until the incident in the bathroom on Halloween that their friendship was established. If you only watch the movie, you will feel that they have always been together.

Well. Add some plots to this place, of course it is not Hermione but Ruifang.

While writing the script at home, he also had to apply for a visa. However, with the help of the Yanjing Office of Shengshi Group, and because this was his second trip to the United States, he was familiar with the procedures.

The most important thing was to write the script.

The winter in Xijing was still quite cold, with heavy snowfalls. Except for occasionally going out fishing with Bai Miao, Fang Minghua spent most of his time at home typing.

Sitting in a warm study, drinking steaming hot tea, there was nothing more comfortable than this.

It took Fang Minghua more than 20 days to finish the script for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. However, he did not send it directly to Warner Bros., but to Li Li's email address, and found a suitable opportunity to call her.

"Lili, I'll send you the script, and you can find someone in the translation team to help translate it into English."

"Don't bother others, I'll translate it!" Lili said on the phone.

"You are in confinement, rest honestly, don't always think about work! Isn't it time to go to class next semester? You should be at home during this time." Fang Minghua said in a serious tone.

"No, I stay in the room all day. I'm not allowed to do anything. My mother won't let me go out. Minghua, I'm so fed up." Lili started to act like a spoiled child on the other end of the phone.

"Besides, American women don't have confinement at all."

"I don't care about others, but you have to listen to your mother!"

"No, Minghua."

It's rare to hear Lili act like a spoiled child. Wu Yue women are soft when they speak. After such a coquettish tone, Fang Minghua felt that her bones were a little soft.

Just as she was about to say something else, she heard Lili's panicked voice on the other end of the phone.

"Mom, I'm fine, nothing."

It turned out that Lili's mother Zhou Yunmei heard her daughter mumbling in her room, as if she was acting like a spoiled child with someone, so she pushed the door and walked in.

"It was my cousin who called just now." Li Li hung up the phone and regained her composure: "My cousin went to the publishing house. If you don't believe me, call my cousin."

"She's already thirty-something, but she's still acting like a spoiled child in front of her cousin." Zhou Yunmei muttered, went in to check on the baby on the bed, and then went out again.

"She clearly called Fang Minghua's name on the phone? But she said she was calling Tangtang? Did I hear it wrong?"

Zhou Yunmei thought and went downstairs.

Li Li in the room also breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's send an email. No matter what sweet words you say, my mother can't see them.

Li Li opened the laptop on the table and sent Fang Minghua an email saying that everything was fine, and more importantly, to translate his script.

It was the end of December, and Li Li had translated the script and sent it to Fang Minghua's mailbox. Fang Minghua glanced at it and sent it to Jeff, the vice president of Warner Bros. Pictures. Everything was OK.

The visa procedures for going to the United States have also been completed, but Minghua is not in a hurry to leave. Song Tangtang hasn't come back yet. It's impossible for both husband and wife to go to the United States and leave their two children at home.

Although she could ask her parents-in-law to help take care of the children, Fang Minghua felt that she still had to fulfill her responsibilities as a parent.

Spend more time with the children. In such a cold day, don't let the two children walk to school early in the morning. Drive them there.

Eat a bowl of spicy soup or soybean milk and fried dough sticks on the way back, and have breakfast at the same time. Fang Minghua really can't get used to the bread and milk prepared by the nanny for the two children.

Just as Fang Minghua was spending the winter leisurely at home, Thomas, the director of the planning department of Warner Bros. Pictures in Burbank, thousands of miles away, was a little annoyed recently.

As the company's planning department, a very important responsibility is to assist in the revision and coordination of the script.

And today, a script was placed in front of the desk - "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

It was the one written by Fang Minghua.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is the highlight of Warner Bros. Pictures. The company will spend a lot of money to shoot it, so a good script is the basis for shooting an excellent movie.

For this reason, the company spent a lot of money to invite Hollywood screenwriter Tony Gilroy to take charge of the editor-in-chief.

Tony Gilroy is a newly rising screenwriter in Hollywood in recent years. He has been the screenwriter of many movies such as "Ice Age", "Tears of Tears", and "The Devil's Advocate".

But now, Tony's script has not been written yet, but the Chinese script has been placed on his desk!

This was sent by Vice President Jeff, and the Planning Department was asked to conduct a preliminary review first.

Is the script bad?

No, no, it is very well written.

Thomas read the script carefully and discussed it with two senior editors in the department. They all agreed that the script had a compact structure, a smooth story, a good rhythm, and retained the important plots and essence of the novel.

"If we follow this script and find an excellent director, we will definitely make an excellent movie!" This is the conclusion reached by several people.

Thomas was happy and worried.

There is a good script, which is the achievement of the planning department, but the problem is: it is not written by Tony.

And Tony strongly requested to invite him!

Isn't this slapping himself in the face?

Let's put it aside for now and wait for Tony's script, Thomas thought.

Maybe Tony's script will be better than this?

But we have to urge him quickly.

Thinking of this, Thomas picked up the landline on the desk and dialed a number: "Mr. Tony? This is Thomas from Warner Bros. Pictures. Have you finished writing your script?"

"Not yet?! Oh, my God, that Chinese writer, Mr. Minghua, the author of "Harry Potter", has sent his own script!"

"No, no, Mr. Tony, please don't be angry, this is not what I mean, this is the decision of the president, Mr. Jeff, he originally wanted to wait until you finish writing the script, and then listen to the opinion of the novel author himself - you also know that this is a Hollywood practice, but he didn't expect that he would write one himself!"

"How is it written? I personally think it's still good, of course I hope you can write better, so please be sure to write the script and send it over as soon as possible!"

"Ok, I'll wait for your good news."

Put down the microphone.

Shit! , Thomas couldn't help but swear.
