Chapter 141 Beginning to Write Harry Potter

"Mr. William, how do you know that I am Chinese?" Chen Dong stirred the coffee gently with a spoon, picked it up and took a sip, and asked William James curiously.

"Your Chinese economy has taken off in recent years, and there are more and more rich people. This year, many people from your Chinese people came to Europe to buy wineries and castles." William James said.

Chen Dong nodded.

Next, the three chatted about some interesting things.

Soon, the three of them brought up the topic of buying the castle.

"Mr. Chen, you want to buy my castle." William Mus said.

Chen Dong nodded, "Yes, my girlfriend and I are here for vacation. The scenery here is beautiful, the air is clear, and the medieval style is everywhere, which is fascinating, so I want to buy an old castle here. I will live here for a period of time every year in the future, but the price is a bit high."

Hearing this, William James said, "Mr. Chen, the price is not high at all. It covers an area of ​​1800 mu, has a private beach and a pier, and also has a building permit for a 5-bedroom villa and 10 wooden holiday houses. The castle has With a history of more than 200 years, a prince once came here for vacation, and I spent more than 80 euros just to repair this castle. Otherwise, I can sell it at another 20w, and 300w. It’s a pity that it’s lower gone."

"Okay." Chen Dong nodded.

Next, Chen Dong hired a lawyer. This lawyer's fee was not cheap, and he specialized in litigation and handling various legal issues for the rich. The fee was calculated by the hour.Under the guidance of the lawyer, Chen Dong went through various contract procedures and paid various handling fees.Been busy for almost a week.

Because Chen Dong is a foreigner, the procedures are even more complicated and troublesome. Fortunately, this lawyer is very capable and has a wide network of contacts, which avoids a lot of trouble.

After a busy day.This ancient castle located in Dunnet Bay at the northernmost tip of the Scottish island and close to the Orkney Islands finally belongs to Chen Dong.

Half a month after coming to Scotland, Chen Dong and Chen Ying lived in the castle.

This old castle is full of medieval architectural styles, plus repairs by William James.Transformed into a more livable castle, it can be said that it is a combination of medieval style + modern architectural style.

In the morning, seven o'clock.The weather is fine.

Chen Dong sat in a chair and wrote something.

"Chen Dong. What are you writing?" Chen Ying was wearing a pajamas and quietly walked behind Chen Dong with a cup of coffee in her hand.

The scent of Chen Ying's body has a scent of roses, very fragrant, very fresh, and smells very good. Chen Dong is very obsessed with this scent.

"I'm writing a book." Chen Dong didn't turn his head, and the pen was still moving.

Chen Ying walked from behind Chen Dong to Chen Dong's side.

Mr and Mrs Dursley of [-] Priwhite Street proudly claim to be perfectly normal people, but the last thing they want is any weird or mystical character because they always pooh-pooh it .

Mr. Dursley is the owner of a drilling rig factory called Gronnings,... A cat was looking at a map. Mr. Dursley didn't feel anything wrong at first until he realized and turned his head suddenly When I went to see it, I saw the chubby cat was still squatting there but the map was gone.... I glanced in the rearview mirror and the cat was reading the street sign of 'Private Street'...

"A very interesting story." Seeing this, the story in the book immediately attracted her curiosity, and she couldn't wait to read on.

"A magical book in the middle ages. We have visited many castles in the past half a month. With inspiration, the name of this book is "Harry Potter."

In the past half a month, the two visited many ancient castles in Scotland, and also specially went to several places where "Harry Potter" was filmed. Of course, these places are not as famous as the original time and space.

From the small coffee shop called elephant house where JK Rowling created "Harry Potter", the London Zoo, and the Australian embassy in the UK where the Elf Bank'Gringotts was filmed, King's Cross Railway Station, Harry To go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Potter must take the bus at platform 9 3/4 of King's Cross Railway Station, Annick Castle, Oxford University Library, Oxford University Christ Church College Dining Hall, Oxford New College, Gloucester Church and other places, personally experienced the background of the magical world of "Harry Potter".

"'Harry Potter', is it the story of the kid named Harry Potter who appears in the first section?"

Chen Dong said, "Yes, a very interesting magical story!"

Not only is it interesting, but it has fascinated countless fans all over the world.

"Harry Potter" has 7 episodes, the first six of which take Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the main stage, describing the protagonist Harry Potter's 6 years of study, life and adventure stories in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The seventh book describes the story of Harry Potter looking for Horcruxes outside the school and destroying Voldemort.

The series of novels has been translated into 67 languages ​​and has sold more than 5 million copies in all editions, making it one of the best-selling novels in the world.

After the physical book of "Harry Potter" became popular, Warner Bros. Film Company of the United States remade the 7-episode novels into 8 movies, and this series became the highest-grossing movie series in the history of the world.Total box office receipts were $78 billion.

A wealth chain beyond imagination has been derived around the book "Harry Potter", with a potential output value reaching hundreds of billions of dollars.

For example, "Harry Potter" toys, computer games, Harry Potter children's clothing, jewelry watches, gifts, and stationery, etc. can set off a wave of panic buying by Harry Potter fans.

Even in some countries.Some items from the book were brought into the real world, such as 'Zibi's Sweet Beans', 'Quidditch Robes', and 'House-Elf' socks.

According to some statistics, the wealth created by each word in the book "Harry Potter" is 380 pounds, which is equivalent to RMB 4588.

Such a super big gold mine, Chen Dong wrote it down.As long as he holds various copyrights of "Harry Potter", within ten years, he will become a billionaire.

Chen Dong spent 180 points to exchange "Harry Potter" from the optical brain.

Because "Harry Potter" is not like online articles with millions of words.There are several million words, but the number of words is relatively small, only hundreds of thousands of words, and there is nothing to do.So I wanted to copy "Harry Potter".Purely boring!

Next, Chen Dong and Chen Ying left their footprints in many places in Scotland. When they came back at night, they 'copied' Harry Potter on a piece of paper.

By the end of June, "Harry Potter" has completed the first part, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and the second part, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

next.Go to a publishing house to publish it.

I remember that in the original time and space, JK Rowling was rejected by publishers 12 times.The reason is, 'The sentence is too long'.

It was not until a small printing house Bloomsbury took over the printing rights that the first part of "Harry Potter", Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, was published. Once published, it attracted much attention and received rave reviews, including The British National Book Award for Children's Fiction, and the Smarty Book Gold Medal Award, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and she herself has become the third richest woman in the UK.

Then in 1998 and 1999, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" further caused a sensation in the world.

In July 2000, the fourth volume "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" came out, and the worldwide Harry Potter craze continued to heat up, creating a myth in the history of publishing.

2003...

The current Chen Dong also suffered the same experience as JK Rowling.

When many publishers heard that a Chinese came to their door to publish a magical book, they didn’t even meet in person, and refused directly. Just kidding, how can a Chinese write a good magical novel? In the image of these publishers Among them, Chinese people play martial arts, celestial beings, zombies and ghosts, and magic is played by Westerners.

Some publishers met with Chen Dong, read the story, and rejected it directly. The reasons were: 'The sentence is too long', 'This book is not suitable for publication', 'The story is not interesting'. They rejected Chen Dong for various reasons. East.

If this is to be placed in China, why would Chen Dong personally go out and find a publishing house? As long as Chen Dong releases that he has a book to be published, a large number of publishers will immediately beg for it, and with high royalties, they will also publish it. Chen Dong got the physical publishing rights of his new book, Yangtze River Publishing House is an example, got the publishing rights of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Rise of Great Powers" by luck/shit, and made money directly in one year Ten million, the annual bonus of employees is almost ten times that of other publishing houses, which makes all publishing houses envious.

In the perception of all publishing houses, Chen Dong's novels are a guarantee of best-selling, especially series ones. As long as they get the copyright, they are directly equivalent to a cash cow.

In the UK, Chen Dong was not well-known in the publishing industry, bumped into walls everywhere, and was misunderstood everywhere.

If it makes me angry, I will directly buy a publishing house to publish "Harry Potter".

On this day, Chen Dong came to a publishing house called Oak.

"Hello, sir, what can you do?" A receptionist greeted Chen Dong.
-
change!
The receptionist was a fair-haired lady. When she saw that the visitor was a Chinese, she immediately put on a stiff face, and she was not as polite as before.
