Chapter 618: A Man's Conscience
"Speaking of which, shouldn't you be honest about something you've been hiding from me?"
"Hiding things from you?"
"If you can't remember, I can give you a hint! For example, Oakland, for example, the small town of Matamata, for example... ranch."
From He Miao's tone of voice, Li Chungang sensed an imperceptible "murderous intent", as if the next time he spoke his answer was not satisfactory, a big word "Danger" would appear above his head.
As a man who is full of desire to survive, he said that he has never seen such a big storm, and now this kind of scene is just too small to be small.
In the next second, he confessed directly: "Actually, it was a plan I conceived before I set off for a vacation in New Zealand. I planned to put the shooting location of "Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand, and I had someone step on the site in advance, and finally found Auckland's Ma. The ranch where the DeWitt family lives in the small town of Tamata is the most suitable and the most suitable shooting location in my mind."
"And then? I think your plan should be more than that."
"He Miao is the one who knows me!"
"I don't want to eat this, you come here, hurry up and get down to business."
Although He Miao said that she couldn't do this, but from the corners of her mouth subconsciously raised slightly and the smile she couldn't hide, it can be seen that she is still very useful.
"Yes, yes, am I also the author of the original book of "The Lord of the Rings" and one of the screenwriters and producers of the film, plus this time I have to go to Los Angeles to meet and talk with Universal Pictures. Liu outsider Tian, I might as well buy the ranch first and then let Universal Pictures restore and create the real scenes in the movie on a 1:1 basis, then I will make a lot of money."
"The question is how sure are you that Universal will trust you to choose to shoot there?"
"So I took a lot of photos and videos before."
"I see."
"That's the way it is, and I didn't mean to hide it from you, but before I went to New Zealand for a field trip, even I wasn't sure if it was suitable, but now that I've seen it, I'm sure, the whole world is looking for it. There couldn't be a better place to film The Lord of the Rings!"
In this regard, Li Chungang is still very confident. In most modern countries, it is impossible to find a place like New Zealand's Dewitt Ranch.
In addition, there are some things that cannot be told to others, including He Miao. I have recorded it in the books related to "Lord of the Rings" that I have unlocked. "After the movie, the filming location was preserved locally and became one of the pilgrimage places that fans of "The Lord of the Rings" must visit once in a lifetime. The tourism economy driven by it every year is extraordinary, and it is highly valued by the entire country of New Zealand.

Ding dong——
"ladies and gentlemen:
The plane is descending. Please return to your original position and sit down, fasten your seat belt, put away the small table, and adjust the seat back to the normal position. All personal computers and electronic equipment must be turned off. Please confirm whether your hand items are properly placed. Later, we will dim the cabin lights.
Thanks! "
Flying from the slightly cool southern hemisphere to the scorching northern hemisphere, Li Chungang felt that the clothes he stuffed in his suitcase could really be thrown away, and it was not a seasonal thing at all.
Los Angeles Airport is bustling and bustling as always. There are many passengers coming and going from all over the world. Before getting out of the security check and getting your personal luggage, you can already see many reporters waiting at the exit with long guns and short cannons. The traces of which star, and the seemingly huge crowd behind these long-gun and short-gun reporters.
From the perspective of the battle, it seems a bit exaggerated!
It's just that Li Chungang, who is still waiting to pick up the suitcase, has not realized that he is the "protagonist" in the eyes of these people, and he is still waiting leisurely for the arrival of the suitcase.
It's just that the young Asian and the beautiful woman pushing the box and looking around have just walked a few steps towards the exit. There are many reporters in the United States with amazing eyesight. These people's eyesight can even compare stars like Leonardo. See through all kinds of camouflage, and people like Li Chungang who have obvious features and no delay in camouflage are recognized at a glance like fireflies in the dark night.
The "Lord of the Rings" filming plan revealed by Universal Pictures these days has made the name "Li Chungang" famous again, but the simple film plan contains countless shocking news that people can't help but talk about.
For example, "The Lord of the Rings" is not a movie, but a series of movies. Anyone who has read the original book can guess this. Not surprisingly, it will be divided into three parts according to the content of the book. This is not surprising. What really excites book fans around the world is that the filming plan of Universal Pictures is to shoot the content of the three films at once, which undoubtedly reveals an exciting news:
Universal Pictures has extraordinary confidence in the film adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", and is sure that it will not encounter Waterloo at the box office!
Of course, this kind of self-confidence is not the kind of self-confidence that arises out of nowhere, but a conclusion drawn from the combination of information collected from various sources. The biggest argument for this is the cumulative global sales volume of "Lord of the Rings" books Officially broke through the 2 billion mark yesterday!
This news was also widely publicized by the New York Times, Reuters and other news newspapers, and as the publisher, Random House wished that people all over the world could know this news.
At the latest shareholder meeting of Random House, more than 90% of the shareholders supported Caitlin, the vice president, to take over the position of the old president and become the new president. Those who do not participate in the company's decision-making power are equivalent to saying that as long as there are no "variables", Caitlin will become the new president of Random House after the old president resigns after a period of time.
As for the Vice President Oswald...
Presumably at this time he was already thinking about how to find the next one.
It is not unique to Hua Guocai to say that one dynasty is one courtier. Even if Caitlin becomes the president, she will not let Oswald, a former opponent, stay in Random House to hinder her.
"Brother Zhong, where is the person who picks up the plane at Random Bookstore? We are not being let go, are we? The crowds outside this exit don't know what's going on. You have to protect Miao Miao for a while. .”
"Boss, don't worry!"
The itinerary this time should have been arranged by my own Wensi Quanyong company, but my company currently only has business in China, and it is basically beyond its capabilities abroad. It is okay to help book a hotel to arrange the next itinerary, and the rest is difficult. A little bit is beyond our reach.
It just so happened that this time he went to the Congress of the United States to drop by Random House for a book signing event, so Random House couldn't wait to take over the job.
Normally, Random House and Li Chungang are separated by the Pacific Ocean, so it is inconvenient to communicate with each other. This time, after finally looking forward to the stars and the moon, Li Chungang, a "money cow", comes to the United States. Of course, he must be graciously entertained!
What's more, this is one of the services that Random House should have, and other writers who have cooperative relations usually enjoy this kind of treatment.
For a top best-selling author like him, any publishing company would treat him like a top-level VIP. This is a living cash cow and cornucopia!
