666. Chapter 666 Scene 666 Four Good News

"It seems that this is the second good news today." Li Xiaole smiled, and was even happier, and was very happy for Emma. It seems that the hard-hearted performance of this little beauty has finally been rewarded during this period. Although her glory as Erin was completely suppressed by the three big men Benny and the others, her progress was still very obvious and she has been recognized by many people in the circle. She no longer lives by relying on the fame of "Harry Potter".

"What's the second good news?" Emma asked in confusion.

"I'm going to Hollywood to make a movie and will play a villain in Star Trek. Although it's just a small matter, it's good news after all, right? Do you think Miss Emma?" Benny blinked at Emma and teased her on purpose.

"What~~!? Are you going to Hollywood?" Emma was stunned, her head buzzed, thinking that this matter was too absurd. How could it be? Benny is no longer young anymore. At this age, she is actually interested in Hollywood companies... Compared to this, the news that she was the starring actor of the stage drama is really nothing.

Although Emma herself is often invited by Hollywood film companies, she is either a vase or a child. Those Hollywood companies just want to use her fame in "Harry Potter" to increase the value of the film, and there is no chance for her to play. "Detective Sherlock" has not been screened in North America, which means that this weirdo Benny actually conquered Hollywood film companies with her strength. This sense of gap made her very disappointed...

At this time, everyone suddenly heard a "dongdongdongdongdongdong" knocking on the door behind them. The three of them turned their heads and saw Martin Freeman with a shy smile on his face at the door, knocking on the open wooden door.

"Ha~Martin, you are here too. I'll tell you two good news today." Benny happily went over in Holmes' tone, hugged Martin Freeman's shoulder and pointed at Emma and smiled: "Our dear Miss Emma, ​​successfully promoted to the heroine of the Swansea Theater and officially became the 'blonde beauty'." He said as he deliberately raised his voice and joked:

"And I, a young actor, have good luck and received the invitation from Caa and will officially join the shooting of the Star Trek series. Of course, I am far worse than Miss Emma, ​​I am just a villain."

"Congratulations to Benny, congratulations to Miss Emma..." Martin expressed his sincere congratulations to the two of them in a very gentleman manner, and coughed a little embarrassedly, lowered his voice: "Benny, there are probably three good news today..."

"Three good news?" Emma was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Martin in surprise: "Martin shouldn't even be invited by Hollywood, right?"

"No..." Martin shook his head. Just when everyone felt that nothing was wrong, he took a deep breath and said, "I was invited by Director Peter Jackson of New Zealand." Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

"My God~!?" Emma reacted and shouted excitedly with her head in her arms~~~

"Martin~~ Are you going to perform "The Hobbit"? What kind of character is it, Gollum or the Dragon?" Benny's first reaction was to rush over and ask excitedly, Martin was going to perform "The Hobbit"!? This is much higher than "Star Trek"~!!

"Bilbo Baggins...I want to play Bilbo Baggins..." Martin said with a smile at his partner.

"Bi...Bilbo Baggins...? My God... you are going to play the leading role of "The Hobbit"~~!! You are going to play the leading role of Peter Jackson...!!" Benny couldn't help but go crazy when he heard it.

"Yes." Martin smiled calmly. "Director Peter Jackson said on the phone that although he had many candidates for this role, for him, there was only one Bilbo Baggins, who would have been several times in his career. He knew that this actor was born for this role. He said that I was the one he thought, and I really felt honored, so I came to Lee right away and wanted to ask if I could go to New Zealand for two days to meet Director Peter."

Compared with this news, the so-called "good news" between Martin and Emma just now is simply not worth mentioning. Peter Jackson... This New Zealand director has a special and noble status in world movies. He is a true legend. The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy he directed is not only a best-selling Oscar-best film in the world, but also won an unprecedented box office record.

"The Armory" has a global box office of 868,621,686 US dollars, ranking 14th in film history, "Twin Towers Qibin" has a global box office of 926 (US$4,377 US dollars, ranking 6th in film history, and "Return of the King" has an amazing box office of 1,1 US dollars), 0',325 US dollars, ranking second in film history, second only to "Titanic"...

These trilogy not only won a huge total box office of nearly 3 billion US dollars... it also won 17 Oscars, which are incomparable to the "Harry Potter" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" series in art.

After the filming of "King Kong", the news that Peter Jackson was going to film the prequel of "The Lord of the Rings" series "The Hobbit" has been circulating in the circle. Who would have thought that the unknown Martin would be favored by him and become the candidate for the male lead Bilbo Baggins~!?

"Martin~!! Great~~!!" "Martin, you are simply amazing~~!!?"

Looking at Benny and Emma, ​​the two shouted excitedly. The expressions on their faces were full of reverence and excitement. While Li Xiaole was happy and relieved, a surging desire emerged in his heart. It was a certain sense of desire to surpass. He is now tied with his target, Christopher Nolan, who was the world's eyes. He once made him extremely happy, but he is still incredibly far from a world-class superstar director like Peter Jackson...

Take a look at the expressions of Benny and the other two, and you will know that Peter Jackson's weight and level in their minds are far beyond his own. You should know that the three of them are all real Englishmen. New Zealand where Peter Jackson is located is a small border country in the Commonwealth. Whether in terms of culture, history or economy, this country is far behind England and the United States.

But Peter Jackson used three movies to completely change the image of this country in the minds of people around the world. New Zealand has now become the real "Mid-earth World" in people's minds. Even at Wellington Airport, the official slogans are "the center of Middle-earth World", and even the safety promotional videos of New Zealand National Airlines, which are played by characters in the Lord of the Rings.

How huge can a movie have to do to a country? Peter Jackson, as the director, illustrates this like people from all over the world...

Although everyone calls himself a great director, Li Xiaole knew in his heart that he was not a great director at all. Only Peter Jackson, who went to Hollywood, insisted on shooting his own country's movies, used his own country's filmmakers, established the New Zealand film industry without a director, and thus completely conquered the world can be called a real big director. However, he himself lacked a true masterpiece of his own country's culture...

Can he make a real epic blockbuster with a movie of "The Lord of the Rings" level with a box office of over 1 billion US dollars? No, he can't... He has not reached that level in terms of technology or heritage, and he still wants to become stronger~~ Thinking of this, Li Xiaole felt an irresistible surging mood. He had to sail forward until the end of the seas in the world of the movie, and touch the most precious treasure with his own hands... Become the real king of this sea...

"Li, what are you thinking?" Martin saw that Li Xiaole was absent-minded, and thought he was disappointed because his actors were too excited about Peter Jackson.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about how I can make a movie like "The Lord of the Rings"... But it seems that I can't make it yet. Congratulations to Martin~~~" Li Xiaole smiled freely and patted his shoulder. There is really good news today. After starring in "Sherlock", these actors with their own bottlenecks have made new breakthroughs, and their own breakthroughs will also come.

Just as he was thinking, Old Charlie also came in from the door. Unlike his usual gentle and kind appearance, today he seemed ten years younger, with a blushing face and a full look.

"Lee~~Good news~~Good news~~" As soon as Charlie came in, he sat down and drank a sip of water. Looking at his usual gentle and amiable look, Benny, Martin, and Emma couldn't help laughing from ear to ear. There was so much good news today.

After drinking the water, Charlie knocked on the table and said in an excited tone: "BBC has contacted us. They have raised their offer and are willing to purchase the overseas copyright of "Detective Sherlock" for £6.5 million per episode."

With the global "Shelf Holmes craze", bbc suddenly discovered how ridiculous they offered Li Xiaole 3 million pounds to buyout fee per episode...

They once again quoted the Drama Council, and this time the price has more than doubled. The copyright buyout fee in the European market is 6.5 million yuan per episode... Set the highest record of purchasing third-party dramas since the establishment of BBC!!
