Yong Scottish actress Leung, who plays Harry's crush(迷恋的对象)Cho Chang in“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,”stopped in Beijing and was headed for Hong Kong to prmote(宣传)the film with Warner Bros manager.
Though she speaks no Chinese, Leung, 18, said she was excited to meet“Harry”fans at a cinema near Beijing University.
“I think everybody here is proud of me.I'm Chinese and I think my trip here will be good for the film,”said Leung, whose parents left Hong Kong before she was born.
“Goblet”was the first of the four“Harry”films to open in China day-and-date with the United States, Nov 18.
In its opening weekend in China,“Goblet”earned $4.1 million.By November 22 it had added up to $5.1 million, beating the $4.7 million earned by“Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”in China last fall.
“China is not a market that is used to talent visits, so having Katie Leung there will contribute to keeping the heat on the movie,”said Veronika Kwan-Rubnek, president of Warner Bros International in an e-mail.
Chinese reporters gathered around Leung in an expensive Western hotel meeting room, fired questions and took pictures as she sat by posters of“Harry”star Daniel Radcliffe.
“Your role is not so big, are you disappointed?”asked one reporter, and another asked,“How do you deal with the negative opinions from Harry fans who have said bad things about you on the Web?”
Wearing a dark red sweater over blue jeans, Leung smiled and said she was happy simply to be in so big film.
“Because Cho's character is so much about her image, because that's what Harry's attracted to, her beauty, I know I just can't satisfy everybody,”Leung said.

Once upon a time, there was a man who was so famous that everyone in his country knew him.
One day, the famous man was sitting in a restaurant with his sister.“It must be great to be famous.Everyone tries to please you, and you can do whatever you want to,” said his sister.“It’s quite the opposite sometimes, in fact.Because I’m famous, I can’t do what I want to,” he denied.“But look, we’re sitting at the best table and eating the best food.We couldn’t sit here and eat this if you weren’t famous,” said his sister.“I’ll show you what I mean,” said he.
The next day, the famous man picked up his sister and took her to another country.“I’m not at all famous here,” he said.“Let’s see how we get on.” Soon they found a restaurant, but it was very busy, so they had to queue.“This wouldn’t have happened if you were famous,” said his sister, but the famous man just smiled.
When they finally got a table, it took the waiter years to bring what they ordered.And the food supposed to be hot was cold, and the food supposed to be cold was hot! Eventually, the famous man couldn’t stand any more and asked to see the manager.“This food is awful.We had to wait an hour for a seat, and the service is also very poor.Look, even my spoon is dirty!”
Showing his horribly yellow teeth, the manager, smiling, said, “Well, that’s just bad luck for you.”
“Don’t you know who I am?” asked the famous man.
“I’ve no idea,” replied the manager.

The aim of writing a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.It should state 1 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 2 .It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 3 out any necessary fact.
In writing a letter of application, bear in mind that the things a possible employer is most 4 to want to know about are your qualifications, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.If the first few sentences fail to 5 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 6 at all.Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own need or desires.For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 7 in today’s paper.” You might say, “I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 8 your product and why they like it.”
Try to 9 generalities.Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 10 .College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 11 in a letter?Employers want experience, which, naturally, no 12 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 13 .It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 14 a specific request for an interview of giving the possible employer something definite to do or expect.An excellent 15 is to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter.That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
