Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 158 Spare No Effort

Tang Jinshan then recounted the events.

They cast Kate Winslet as Professor McGonagall, produced the film, built the filming location, and sought official support.

J.K. Rowling agrees, saying that it is indeed much easier for her to handle many things.

Compared to that, changing Professor McGonagall's character is insignificant.

Moreover, it's not that she can't accept changes to the character design or even the plot.

When a novel is adapted into a movie, there are bound to be many differences.

Kate Winslet also began traveling around.

To Tang Jinshan's surprise, she easily persuaded the authorities to provide support.

A whole bunch of people volunteered.

Who wouldn't want to be involved in a project like Harry Potter?

This novel may appeal to many young people in America and present business opportunities to many businessmen.

However, in England, it has captivated countless people.

It was as if the glory of the British Empire had been reborn.

Aside from 007, this is their biggest cultural export in recent years!

Now that it's being made into a movie, countless people are eager to get involved.

This includes various film studios, actors, and even construction contractors and material suppliers.

Some extreme individuals even called for the development to be done independently, rather than being handed over to a Chinese person.

What Harry Potter could he possibly make?

What do you know about English culture?

Kate Winslet even set up a studio specifically for this purpose.

She knew that she couldn't complete the task Tang Jinshan had given her on her own.

She needs to find help from local film studios and businessmen.

To Tang Jinshan's surprise, the production company that Fei Wen found locally was David Heyman.

Or rather, David Heyman came to him on his own initiative.

Kate Winslet offered him £300 million, a huge difference compared to the price Tang Jinshan had previously asked for!

However, he refused to do the job, as many others were eager to take it, so he could only earn the money with tears in his eyes.

I must have been out of my mind back then!

They still haven't recognized their own position and are thinking of taking advantage of Tang Jinshan to jointly develop the project.

He could have been a builder, but now he's suddenly become one of the contractors.

How can I accept this difference?

Next up is the filming location.

Rebuilding a large-scale film studio requires astronomical sums of equipment, space, and materials.

Furthermore, a large number of exit scenes need to be created according to the needs of "Harry Potter".

As for its spread to the entire filming location, that goes without saying.

First, there's the magic school, with its four houses, the Great Hall, the Quidditch pitch, the Room of Requirement, the train platform, Diagon Alley, Gringotts, the Chamber of Secrets, the library, various classrooms, the back hill, and even Harry Potter's house, etc.

These will become important photo spots in the theme park later on.

They even need to reserve space to create scenes that J.K. Rowling will write later.

This is only part of the filming; there are many other locations where filming takes place outside.

David Hyman watched everything with envy, almost drooling.

How much money could I have made if I had owned these projects back then?

Now, it's all gone to waste!

I regret it!

Now it's all gone to Kate Winslet!

However, he still enthusiastically helped to connect people and make connections, hoping to gain some benefits in the process.

"Tang, the authorities have offered us a plot of land of about 20 acres in the suburbs of London. They can sell it to us at a low price, and we don't have to pay now. You can use your 100 million to build the magic school."

Kate Winslet is under a lot of pressure lately.

In fact, the official support was substantial, and they originally intended to give it to them for free.

However, Tang Jinshan refused.

After all, it will be transformed into a theme park and operated commercially in the future.

"And then there's the magic school, which needs to be designed and built, and all sorts of equipment needs to be purchased—"

Kate Winslet gave a long report.

When she actually started implementing it, she found that the difficulties were much greater than she had imagined.

According to Tang Jinshan's plan, it will probably take two or three years to build a photography base.

Filming crew and actor auditions all had to be postponed.

"You find someone to design it first; I'll choose the construction team myself."

Tang Jinshan didn't have time to waste with those people.

The daylily will be too late in two or three years.

He plans to bring a construction team from China over to show them what "China speed" really means.

At worst, we can find a local person to help us.

"Here is fifty million US dollars. You deposit it into the studio account. In addition to building the filming base, filming and actor auditions are also gradually progressing."

Don't worry, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you don't understand something, just pay someone to help you.

Chris Columbus and the others will help you once they arrive. I will also hire a professional finance and auditing team for the studio to oversee operations.

Tang Jinshan comforted Fei Wen.

Chris Columbus is assembling a filming crew in Hollywood, and they will be coming over later.

He will definitely need to communicate with J.K. Rowling in various ways to reach a consensus.

Kate Winslet breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Tang Jinshan constantly pulling out money.

Moreover, the fact that he gave her so much money so readily touched her deeply!

"Okay, I'll definitely do my best to help you!"

Kate Winslet was full of confidence and enthusiasm.

Afterwards, she also took Tang Jinshan to meet a bunch of people, including government officials, various project owners, and material suppliers.

I also consulted other major film studios in England to see what equipment they needed.

He also attended many cocktail parties and dinners.

She spared no effort in promoting the development of the filming base.

When she came out of another party, she was walking unsteadily.

Tang Jinshan, displaying gentlemanly manners, escorted her home.

Fat Wen didn't live in a villa or a castle; she lived in a detached house.

If it gets any bigger, it might be called a manor.

It is surrounded by walls, providing excellent privacy.

The interior space is very large, with lawns and gardens in the front and back.

However, it's winter now, with incessant rain and few flowers or plants; everything is withered and desolate.

This wasn't Tang Jinshan's first time here; he was quite familiar with the place.

Fei Wen is really heavy, probably weighing 150 pounds.

Fortunately, he wasn't the kind of person who was weak and frail.

However, as a normal man, he is now in great pain.

I came back from the rain and passed by the front yard and lawn, which were already soaked.

Especially in the chubby and warm areas, clothes stick together, revealing glimpses of skin.

It felt like stepping back into the Titanic's cabin.

How could a hot-blooded young man like him withstand this?

Their eyes turned fiery.

He also got wet and felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Back inside, Tang Jinshan turned on the light.

The whole room lit up, making everything even clearer.

Tang Jinshan's mouth went dry as his gaze fell on Fei Wen's chest.

This incredible wealth is truly a rare find!

Although Kate Winslet was drunk, she could still feel his gaze.

Their eyes met, and the air seemed to grow hot.

Then she saw Tang Jinshan set up a tent to shelter her from the wind and rain.

Clearly, this is the greatest respect.

His face, even more handsome than Jack's, shone brightly under the lights.

In an instant, Kate Winslet kissed the handsome young man on the lips.

The two embraced, and everything became passionate.
