It didn't take long for Peter Rich and the manager of the UK branch of HarperCollins Publishing to send over four full boxes of manuscripts.
Eric chatted with the two of them and sent them away. The girl walked around the four boxes of manuscripts, took out a simple bound manuscript from one of the cartons, and said, "Eric, There are at least a hundred books here, are you going to read them all?"
Eric shook the folder left by the manager of HarperCollins Publishing just now, and said: "How could I have so much time, here is the outline of the story they sorted out, I will see if I am interested, Then read the entire manuscript."
"Oh, then I'll come and read it together, maybe there's something I'm interested in," the girl said, then got up and walked over, but forgot to put the manuscript back in her hand.
Eric ordered the twins to move a few boxes of manuscripts upstairs to the study room. Seeing the girl come to snatch the folder in his hand, he let go, but also took the manuscript that the girl casually stuffed over, and glanced casually at the manuscript The cover of , suddenly a little more surprised in his expression, and some inexplicable smiles.
There are two words clearly written on the cover of the manuscript in hand: "Harry Potter". Although it is different from the title of the first book in the series, the signature of JK Rowling under the title is definitely not Incorrect.
In an instant, Eric almost pulled the girl's little hand over to kiss her, and dragged her into the game to open the box.
Seeing the girl walking to the sofa with the folder in her hand and sitting down, Eric couldn't wait to look through it. Eric also walked over, opened the manuscript in his hand and read it seriously. Until noon, Eric roughly read the manuscript in his hand. After all, he flew in the air for a full ten hours, and the girl beside him had already fallen asleep on his lap.
Eric did not read the original novels of the "Harry Potter" series in his previous life, but he watched the movies.
At this time, the manuscript is in hand. In Eric's opinion, it should probably be a collection of both sides of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in history.
Since the movie certainly cannot show the entire plot of the novel, Eric can't see any difference between the plot of the manuscript in his hand and the previous version. Just fan it off, and it is also a very simple matter for him to push the novel back to its original track.
The twins finished their lunch and came over. Eric handed the manuscript to one of them to put it away, and patted the sleeping girl. Once the little girl fell asleep, she was very reluctant to wake up. The small arms were wrapped around him, and after tossing for a while, Eric carried him into the restaurant as a whole. After eating something in a daze, he took Eric to rest together.
In order to finish reading the manuscript of "Harry Potter", Eric sat for a whole morning, and he was a little tired after lunch. He still had to stay in the UK for a few days, and the copyright of "Harry Potter" was not in a hurry. For a while, he ordered the twins a few words, and carried the girl to the bedroom.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Eric and the girl got up together and began to prepare for the premiere at night. Barbara Broccoli came over in person again to discuss some premiere details. Although this residence is very close to the Royal Albert Hall, the crew specially prepared an extended concierge car.
The red carpet ceremony of the premiere ceremony started at six o'clock. According to the arrangement, Eric and his girl set off from Huayuan Avenue by car at half past six. It took less than five minutes to arrive at the crowded premiere scene.
Since it is midsummer, the sky has not yet completely darkened, and the long red carpet leading directly to the entrance of the concert hall is crowded with movie fans and reporters. The courtesy car that Eric and Drew were riding in stopped at the end of the red carpet, and the two had just got off the car , Crazy screams sounded from both sides of the red carpet.
Eric walked in slowly with the girl, and heard the voices of some girls telling the girl to get away from him in the crowd, he lowered his head and leaned into the girl's ear and asked, "Will there be any pressure?"
Drew shook his head with a constant smile: "No, people like to hear voices that are so envious and jealous that they want to go crazy."
Seeing that the two were biting their ears on the red carpet, the screams and booing on both sides of the red carpet became louder, and the security guards had to cheer up to prevent anyone from rushing onto the red carpet.
Walking forward for more than ten meters, I probably passed through ordinary movie fans. There were more reporters on both sides, and a few movie fans held various posters in their hands. Seeing Eric and Yatou coming, they shouted Eric's name seems to be hoping to get signatures, perhaps because there are fewer people, but it is not as crazy as those movie fans just now.
The two posed side by side for some poses, and let the reporters take some photos. Afterwards, Drew gently pushed Eric and said, "Eric, I still need to take a few more photos, you go and give them some photos." Sign it."
Eric nodded, watching the fans on the left side of the red carpet waving the posters in their hands hard, walked over with a smile, took the pen in the other party's hand and wrote quickly, and occasionally took photos with the other party in cooperation, walking along the red carpet Edge walked forward while signing, and it looked like he had advanced five or six meters. Eric had just signed autographs for two girls whose faces were flushed because of excitement. He glanced at the front not far away, but noticed a woman who was obviously a little strange The figure is caught in the crowd.
Other movie fans were all excited and waving posters in their hands, but the woman was standing outside with empty hands, wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and white slacks, with blonde hair and light makeup, some of them couldn't tell their age , maybe thirty years old, maybe forty years old. She was accompanied by two entourages, trying her best to separate the fans next to her from the woman, which made her stand out in the crowd even more.
Noticing that Eric looked over, the woman who was staring at Eric in a daze was obviously a little flustered in her eyes, and she wanted to dodge her eyes, but she was a little bit reluctant.
Eric quickly signed his name on a poster handed over by a movie fan, walked two steps forward, and was already in front of the woman. He obviously felt that he seemed to have seen this woman somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while. The two looked at each other. A few points of light, and a little reluctantly smiled at Eric.
For some reason, when looking at the woman, Eric felt some inexplicable emotion in his heart. He raised the pen in his hand, and Eric smiled and said, "Ma'am, do you need me to sign for you?"
The woman froze for a moment, then nodded, reached into her pocket and fumbled a few times, but only took out a ten-pound note. The voice was so soft that Eric could only tell the general meaning from the shape of the other's lips: "Then Just sign here."
Eric smiled, seeing the woman holding the banknote in her palm, reaching out to support the back of the other's hand, and quickly writing a string of letters on it.
After Eric signed his name, he continued to walk forward. The woman stared at the banknote in her hand for a moment, and said to a follower beside her, "Mark, let's go back."
"Yes, miss."
The entourage named Mark nodded quickly, and together with another entourage, helped the woman push away the crowd, escorted her to leave the scene, and came to the parking lot. Mark graciously helped the woman open the car door, protected her into the car, and then got into the car by himself. Get in the driver's seat and start the car.
Through the rearview mirror, he looked at the lady whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 years, twenty-five years, or twenty-six years? At that time, he was still a stunned young man, and like many people, he inevitably had a heart of admiration for his young lady, but like many people, he only dared to secretly look at her a few more times. Now, after so many years, his daughter is about to get married, and he is already graying at the temples. The young lady is indeed the same as in previous years, as if time has suddenly stopped on her body.
With a bit of regret in his heart, Mark slowed down the speed, turned the steering wheel and drove the car onto the highway. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke his words, and said, "Little Miss, Miss Williams likes Williams very much. I met him once. , a very nice young man. However, Madam said that the two of them are unlikely to be together, Williams, it seems, is not a very dedicated person."
The woman didn't answer, just looked out of the car window, and asked suddenly after a while: "My brother should know that I'm back, right?"
Mark's face was a little more embarrassed, but he nodded and said, "I, I'm sorry, miss, I think I should tell the master."
"Then send me back."
Mark thought he heard it wrong: "Huh?"
"I said, I want to go back and have a look."
"Oh, of course," Mark finally realized that he heard correctly, nodded and said, "We'll go back right now, the master and madam will be very happy."
"Oh, I hope he won't beat me out."
Mark shook his head quickly: "No, definitely not, the master has actually missed you all these years."
"You won't understand," the woman shook her head, suddenly smiled again, and said, "However, if he dares to hit me, I will fight back."
"Ah," Mark was a little stunned, but he could only shake his head when he realized it, and said, "No, no, not at all."
