Silicon Valley

After the West German Press released the press conference, Galaxy Films immediately picked it up and announced: "Henry Williams' new work, The Da Vinci Code, will be adapted into a movie, and the script will be written by Henry Williams himself. The director is directed by world-renowned director Spielberg, the total investment of the film is at least 150 million US dollars, we will create a most thrilling and confusing film!!!"

When the news came out, the whole nation was shocked. Henry Williams' novel is about to be made into a movie again. The visual shock of "Jurassic Park" is too great, and the zombie attack of "Resident Evil" is extremely scary. Every novel adaptation of Henry Williams has brought people too many surprises, and now that "The Da Vinci Code" is about to be adapted into a film, people are naturally looking forward to the release of this film! Besides, this movie has a huge investment, and with Spielberg as the director, it will definitely look better than I imagined!

Novels and movies have given a duet, and American TV, newspapers, Internet and offline all kinds of publicity are overwhelming, I really want to know "The Da Vinci Code".

People have been talking about The Da Vinci Code and Marvel movies recently. With Galaxy's name appearing in the newspapers almost every day, Hollywood seems to be completely out of business with other studios.

At this time, the major film companies were naturally unwilling to be lonely and began to act frequently. What are they doing? Go to Galaxy Films to drop by...

Warners CEO Jeff Bickers: "Bobby Robin, I heard you guys are making a new movie. How about working together? You know, hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs plus distribution and promotion costs, risk Too big, isn't it?"

Universal CEO Long Mayer: "Hey Bobby, does The Da Vinci Code need an investment?"

"..."

Hollywood studios are both competitive and cooperative with each other.

most of the time. A large-scale movie will be jointly invested and shot by several film companies, which can reduce the risk. After all, no one knows whether the movie will make money. but. Because of Henry's existence, Galaxy Films often "plays single machine". But this approach cannot last long. It is impossible for Henry to drive all the time. Besides, he is in Hollywood. If the relationship with other film companies is all deadlocked, it will definitely be detrimental to future development.

Therefore, when Bobby Robin reflected on him what other film companies wanted to cooperate with, Henry thought about it, and finally agreed: "The investment is OK, but we have to take the big bucks. And the copyright must be completely owned by us. Peripheral Profits must be ours too!"

Henry was actually a little worried in his heart. After all, these movies were filmed in advance, and he didn't know if they would sell well. It's best to bring in a few investors. In case of a loss, some people will back it up, right? If the movie is popular, it will be even better. Anyway, if the copyright is in hand, it means that it has the initiative and can be made into a series. Galaxy Films is like an extra hen that lays golden eggs. Marvel heroes, in particular, are basically made into a series of movies!

Hearing this, Bobby Robin nodded and said, "Okay!"

...

...

In the early morning of November 15, the morning fog had not completely dissipated, and a long queue of more than 20 meters lined up outside a bookstore called Dalima in San Jose, California.

"Boss, open the door quickly!"

"We're buying Henry Williams' The Da Vinci Code! Boss, open the door!"

"..."

Inside the bookstore, the face of the owner Venezia was already blooming with a smile, "Okay, I'll open the door right away!" He turned his head and said to the two employees of the bookstore. "Hurry up and prepare, and move out "The Da Vinci Code"!"

"Okay, Mr. Venice!" The employees took out the stacks of books from the warehouse.

At this time, Venice opened the door.

The sun shot in violently, and the bookstore owner Venezia couldn't help but blink, and then he saw a group of young men and women swarmed and rushed into the bookstore. The bookstore owner hurriedly waved and stopped them, "Line up, don't crowd, come one by one!"

Venice immediately called an employee to help, "Roy, you come to take care of them, and you are in charge of publishing books, and I am in charge of collecting and finding money!" He shouted to a short employee again, "Jim, you are in charge of sending a Unpack the stacks of books and bring them here!"

"Okay, Mr. Venice!" The two employees responded in unison, and then performed their duties according to the boss's orders.

"Hey, boss, hurry up, we want to buy books!" some guests urged impatiently.

"Okay, right now!" Venice took out a black glasses case from his jacket pocket, then took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses and put them on, then said to the young men and women who were queuing: "There is only "Da Vinci" The hardcover version of "Password" costs $50 a book, everyone, please prepare your money!" Books in the United States are simply ridiculously expensive. Usually, novels cost tens of dollars a piece, and if it is a textbook, it can be called "astronomical price" , very thin ones cost tens of dollars, and thick ones cost one or two hundred dollars. If you see books for sale in someone's study, you are definitely a local tyrant! ! !

"Boss, I'll buy a copy!" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who was in the first place had already put the money in his hand, "This is $50!"

Venice took the money and said with a smile, "Roy, give him a copy!"

The chubby boy of medium build immediately handed the boy a hardcover book hundreds of pages thick. The teenager took the book and walked out happily. While walking, he looked at the cover of the book. The cover of the book was "Mona Lisa's Smile", and below it was a string of strange letters. The teenager thought to himself, is this a "password"?

The young man strode to the right side of the bookstore and sat down on a bench under a big tree, then impatiently spread the book on his lap, opened the pages, and started to read. The young man looked at it, immersed in it unconsciously, his face was sometimes puzzled, sometimes surprised, and sometimes frightened...

Venice stretched her aching arms up, "Uh, it's almost 1 o'clock, and the Chinese food hasn't been eaten yet. However, the books are also sold out! Ouch, I'm so tired!" He said and rubbed again Rub your wrists.

"Boss, you got a hand cramp after receiving the money?" the short Jim laughed.

"Haha, I would like to have a hand cramp every day." Venice laughed, but then sighed again, "Alas, it's a pity that our bookstore only has 500 books!"

"Boss, why don't you come in a little more?"

"I think so too, but the West German Press said that their inventory is not enough, and each bookstore can only distribute it according to the size. The printing house is currently reprinting, and in three days, the West German Press promised to send another 500 copies. come over!"

After Venice finished saying this, she walked out of the bookstore, and happened to see a young man holding a book and reading it attentively not far away. "Isn't he the first boy who bought "The Da Vinci Code"? Why isn't he reading here?" Venice murmured, he had a slight impression of the boy.

"Hi, have you been reading? Seeing now since 7am?"

"Oh, it turned out to be the owner of the bookstore, hello." The teenager raised his head and looked at Venice, "Yes, I have been reading books here, and I have never left. This book is so beautifully written that it makes people immersed in it and can't extricate themselves. !"

"Oh, is that so?" Venezia said with a surprised look on her face. "It's 1 o'clock in the afternoon. You see it from 7 o'clock in the morning, there are 6 hours!"

"Oh, no wonder why I feel hungry..." The boy closed the book, touched the back of his head and smiled, "Stop talking, bookstore owner, I'm going to have Chinese food, and then continue reading."

"You can call me Mr. Venice!"

"Okay, Mr. Venice, goodbye!" the teenager waved. "My name is Aiden Brown. Maybe you've heard of my dad's name. His name is Dan Brown, who is also a writer. However, my favorite It's Henry Williams, he's a genius!!!"
