Chapter 406: Harry Potter, the Masked Man
Zhang Xiao smiled when he heard this and said: "Director Chris, you are too... It seems that the celebration banquet does not need to be paid for by me."
Chris also laughed and said: "I hope I will pay for it, which means that our "Inception" will achieve very good box office results. Unfortunately, we have too many opponents."
Zhang Xiao was stunned and asked: "You mean other movies of the same period?"
Chris nodded and said: "We have two very strong opponents this time. One is "Alita: Battle Angel" produced by Mecaron, and the other is "City of Dawn 3"."
"The movie produced by Macron will have an impact on our global box office, and the latter one will have an impact on us grabbing the North American box office."
Zhang Xiao has also heard of these two movies on Earth.
"Alita: Battle Angel" was produced by box-office king Cameron, so it sparked a movie-going craze upon its release.
Unfortunately, due to the thin plot and top-notch special effects technology, it failed to attract more and more discerning movie fans. In the end, it failed and only took in a box office of 400 million US dollars.
As for the "City of Dawn" series of movies, the reputation is average, but the box office is very good. The next three movies are all above US$1, which can be considered very good. Of course, compared with the "Harry Potter" series of movies, they are far worse.
It's not even half a star.
"Huh? Harry Potter?" Zhang Xiao thought of this, and his heart moved. This is a series of novels that are popular all over the world. It seems that this world has not appeared yet!
This is definitely an opportunity!
Zhang Xiao was ecstatic, so he quickly asked the system: "System, the "Harry Potter" series of novels hasn't appeared in this world yet, right?"
【No!】,
"How many reputation points are needed to redeem this series of novels?"
[Fifty million reputation points.]
Fifty million reputation points are really nothing to the current Zhang Xiao. With his current fame, even if he does nothing, a massive amount of reputation points are added to him every day.
So I chose to exchange without hesitation.
Soon the English version of the novel "Harry Potter" appeared in Zhang Xiao's system space.
"Hey, Zhang, what are you thinking about?" Chris saw Zhang Xiao was a little cold, so he touched his arm and asked.
Zhang Xiao came back to his senses and said: "It's nothing. When you talked about "City of Dawn", I suddenly had a good idea."
"What's a good idea?" Chris asked curiously.
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "I want to write a series of novels about magic, like "City of Dawn", maybe it will become popular all over the world."
"Hahaha!" Chris burst out laughing after hearing this, and said: "Zhang, don't be kidding me. My brother is a Jia. He told me that it is really difficult to write a popular book.
It’s basically impossible.”
Zhang Xiao shook his head with a smile and said: "No matter how difficult it is, I have to try it before I know it. I have already thought of the name. It's called "Harry Potter"."
When Chris saw Zhang Xiao being so confident, he didn't say anything else. He just said: "Then I wish you success."
···
After the banquet, accompanied by Herman, Chris and several Disney executives, Zhang Xiao and Reba walked out of the hotel.
Just as they were about to get on the bus, a van suddenly rushed in from the door and hit Zhang Xiao and Reba directly.
Zhang Xiao's eyes were sharp and he saw the two people in the driver's cab and the passenger seat at a glance. They were both wearing masks and holding a gun in their hands.
"Quick, hide."
Zhang Xiao's expression changed, he shouted loudly, and pushed Reba and Chris beside him into the extended Lincoln car.
By the time he wanted to get up, it was already too late. The other party's gun had already been stretched out from the car window, and there were four muzzles in total, all pointed at him.
"Ah!" Several Disney executives screamed in fright and quickly found a place to hide.
Zhang Xiao's reaction was also very fast. He immediately judged that the other party's target was him. Without saying a word, he immediately closed the door and kicked off the tire with his right foot. With the reaction force, he flew backwards for a distance.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out and bullets whizzed past Zhang Xiao.
Faced with such a danger, most people would have been confused for a long time, but Zhang Xiao not only did not panic at all, but his face was extremely calm.
In a Chinese martial arts novel read on Earth, it is said that when kung fu is practiced to the extreme, it can reach a mysterious state of neither hearing nor seeing, and avoiding dangers.
Zhang Xiao's kung fu has been upgraded to level 3s. Although he didn't notice the approaching danger before, now that he is facing danger, he is able to listen in all directions and see in all directions.
The moment the bullets were fired among the ten opponents, Zhang Xiao was able to strongly sense which bullet would hit which part of his body, and then immediately made evasive actions to dodge the bullets easily.
The gunman in the van fired all the bullets in the magazine without injuring Zhang Xiao at all, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Fuck!"
The driver cursed loudly, turned the steering wheel hurriedly, and rushed out.
Zhang Xiao looked into the distance and saw a bright black off-road vehicle driving towards the hotel door, and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"You're in bad luck."
Zhang Xiao's figure was like lightning, and he rushed towards the van.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!" the masked man in the van shouted.
The driver of the off-road vehicle was shocked when he saw this and quickly turned the steering wheel, but unfortunately it was too late.
With a "bang~" sound, the van and the off-road vehicle collided.
What makes people feel very speechless is that except for the front bumper of the off-road vehicle being a little loose, there is nothing wrong with it, but the van is in a terrible situation, and the front is almost destroyed.
The four masked men were knocked unconscious. By the time they returned to normal and were about to run away, Zhang Xiao had already arrived.
"Get off here!" Zhang Xiao opened the front door of the van and pulled the driver out.
The other three masked men looked horrified and quickly pointed their guns at Zhang Xiao and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Gunfire rang out again.
At this time, a masked man shouted loudly: "Stop, where are the others?"
"Ah? I didn't see it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two stones passed through the car window and hit the arms of the two masked men.
"Ah~~~"
"Ah~~~"
After two screams, the gun in the masked man's hand fell.
"Stab!" The car door opened, and Zhang Xiao threw a stone out of his hand again, killing the masked man in the passenger seat, and then got into the car.
The whole process took less than thirty seconds, and Zhang Xiao had already walked out with two masked men.
"Brother-in-law! How are you? Are you injured?" Reba opened the car door and ran over with her long skirt in hand, asking with worry on her face.
Zhang Xiao directly threw the two masked men in his hands to the ground and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just these little guys want to hurt me? It's just a dream."
