He who eats his own food, sheds his own sweat, and relies on his parents is not considered a true man. When I was a child, I relied on my parents to support me. That was because I was too young and I really didn’t have the ability to make money. When I grew up, I was really shameless when I was struggling with my old age.

But there are quite a few people in China who still take it for granted to be shameless. According to incomplete statistics, among this group of people, there are always one or two out of ten. This is already a very high number.

And this kind of person will basically not have much potential in his life. Even if he can compete with his father, can you still expect your children to compete with their father?

If you can fight for your father and support your elders, it is because you have a good father. But can you guarantee that you will become the target of being beaten for your father?

Ye Ming himself knew very well that under such circumstances, Rowling was encouraged by Christopher mainly for the sake of her own children. But Ye Ming first said that he had the ability to lift the table, and showed Luo Lin the manuscript. Now Luo Lin was dumbfounded.

Ye Ming took back the manuscript and said: "We all cooperated very happily. Why did you have to turn the table over? Go back. Don't worry, the contract will give you not a penny less, but there is nothing else I can do. After all, I am not the only one." People, Brilliant Film and Television, Warner Bros., etc., do you know how many parties’ interests are involved?

Harry Potter, do you think that just because you write well, it can become such a novel that is crazily sought after all over the world? No, it’s because of our promotion that the novel has not been promoted. Never a good novel.

Many people worked hard for this movie and this novel. Therefore, please stop making trouble about this matter. It will not do you any good if you make trouble again and again. "

Rowling said with some reluctance: "Then I won't talk about the money and the movie share. There is a contract. I have nothing to say. Why are the peripherals given so little and not given according to the contract?"

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't it clearly stated in the contract that I will give you 10% of the merchandise, isn't it?"

Rowling immediately firmly denied it and said: "No, I got less than half of the movie peripherals. I have receipts here, and the American media also announced the amount of peripherals for the first Harry Potter movie." . There are about 170 million peripherals, and this number is still increasing. But it was less than 3 million given to me. If it weren't for such a small amount, I wouldn't risk tearing it up. Where’s the contract?”

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, he simply couldn't believe that something like this happened. So he turned around and looked at Ai Qiuhua and Columbus, and said angrily: "I want to know what this means. Acting in accordance with the contract is what Warner Brothers should do. Why not do it in accordance with the contract?" It’s a matter.”

Columbus hesitated for a moment and did not say that this matter was not something he could control as a director. In fact, he was just a director. This time, if he was not familiar with Ye Ming, and if it was not involved in the script, he would not Come.

Therefore, when it comes to a question like this, he himself knows his identity. It is better for Ai Qiuhua to answer a question like Ye Ming's. After all, Ai Qiuhua is also a senior member of Warner Brothers.

At this moment, Ai Qiuhua hesitated before saying: "This matter happened before. We had a separate agreement with Ms. Luo Lin, and the share given to her would only be half. Ms. Luo Lin also signed it."

At this time, Rowling immediately defended: "I didn't sign this, it was signed by you and Christopher. I didn't agree. And even if it's half a percent, you didn't give enough."

What Ai Qiuhua was about to say, Christopher immediately said: "There is a reason for this. Our publisher also has expenses for distribution. Therefore, this half percent actually covers our company's distribution expenses."

Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "Okay, Ms. Rowling's contract was signed with me. Even if there are any changes, you still have to sign it with me. I will not sign any contract with Ms. Rowling and Harry." All contracts related to Porter are invalid. What else do you have to say about this."

At this time, both Ai Qiuhua and Christopher were speechless. Such a thing was actually the same. On such a question, they really had nothing to say and were unwilling to say anything. Speaking of Ye Ming, this is the acquiescence of both Warner and the publisher, but they cannot avoid one problem, that is, Ye Ming owns the copyright of Harry Potter at this time.

Therefore, both of them were silent at the moment, with nothing to say.

Regarding an issue like this, no matter what it is, they are in the wrong, right?

Ye Ming took a look, and then said: "Isn't the matter clear like this? In fact, on such a problem, the matter is not that complicated. Give you two a time, within a month, who owes Give every penny of the money to Ms. Rowling, otherwise, the publisher and film company of the third Harry Potter book will have to change their roles, and you will have to bear all the losses."

Ye Ming said these words without any room for relief. In one sentence, he said it very clearly. There is absolutely no room for refutation on such a matter.

As for such a matter, Ai Qiuhua didn't have any objections. Anyway, according to the contract, the share that should be given must be given. Therefore, at this time, Ai Qiuhua immediately said: "The share is not a problem. According to The contract should give us no less, but as for the third part, we are waiting for the manuscript of the third part to make a movie. If this matter is not resolved, then our company will suffer huge losses. .”

Ye Ming immediately said categorically: "You go back first. I guarantee that the manuscript for the third part will be sent over within a week. Therefore, for a matter like this, you just pay."

Hearing this, both Ai Qiuhua and Columbus were very happy. After all, they were here for the script. As long as the script was given, the rest would be nothing. Big question.

Since Ye Ming said that there will be no problems at this time, as one of the shareholders, Ye Ming should not lie. After all, he also has shares in it, and lying will not harm Ye Ming. Benefits.

Therefore, Ai Qiuhua and Columbus went back happily. Everything assigned by the company was done, so naturally they had no reason to stay.

At this time, Ye Ming glanced at Christopher and said: "Your publishing house is also unkind in what they do. I am also a writer myself. Don't forget my other identity. Therefore, I dare not say how much I care about the publishing industry." I understand, but on a question like this, you have gone overboard. Give Ms. Rowling a cent less than what should be given to her. Otherwise, for the third Harry Potter, the publisher will have to be changed. Do you understand? "

Christopher was a little unconvinced and said, "Why do you do this? What if I don't agree?"

Ye Ming laughed loudly and walked out, saying: "Why should I? Just because I have the copyright of Harry Potter, just because I have the ability to lift a table, and there are so many publishers with publishing qualifications. If it doesn’t work, just find another one.”

In fact, no matter what it is, at this time, the result has exceeded Christopher's expectations. There is such a kind of existence that makes him confused.

Regarding a question like this, after Ye Ming left, he still didn't understand why Ye Ming was so arrogant.

After waiting for a while, Christopher calmed down and said: "Lowling, what exactly is Ye Ming thinking? Why does he say that he has the means to overturn the table? If you are like me, insist on using manuscripts to threaten According to him, at a time like this, we will definitely win the final victory, right?"

Rowling smiled bitterly and said: "He really has the ability to flip the table, because he has the manuscript of the fourth part of Harry Potter in his hand. I suspect that he will also have it."

At this time, it was Christopher who was dumbfounded. He said blankly: "Well, how is it possible? Didn't you tell me that you just wrote the manuscript for the third part and it is in your hands? Why would he have a fourth part? ?”

This question really made Christopher dumbfounded. Let me start with things like flipping the table, which is something that not everyone can do. But if what Rowling said is true, then Ye Ming really has the ability to flip the table on such a matter. No matter how it is said, now he and Rowling's biggest reliance is the manuscript. If it was said that there was no such manuscript, then he was completely dumbfounded at this time.

But Rowling herself said that she didn’t write the manuscript until the third part? Luo Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You heard it yourself just now. Ye Ming is not an ordinary actor. He also has an identity as a writer. He is a writer himself and can write by himself.

And he really wrote it. I only had an outline for the fourth part, but he had already finished it. What do you think I should do? Christopher was stunned for a moment and then said: "Can you still do it like this? Didn't you say that this novel is your own original work?" "

Rowling immediately said: "There is nothing wrong with me being the original author, but when it comes to a question like this, no matter how it is said, the beginning is the most difficult for a novel type. If there is a beginning, then It is not difficult to continue writing. If you have advanced writing skills, then continuing to write Harry Potter is not impossible.

Therefore, there are some issues that laymen cannot understand when it comes to such a problem, but for us writers, such a thing is a very simple matter.

"The key is a beginning. With such a beginning, nothing is a problem. And the manuscript Ye Ming took out also told Luo Lin that in fact, such a thing is really not difficult. Luo Lin would not believe it in the past. , someone was really able to continue writing Harry Potter, and the outline was the same as her own, but things happened under her nose.

Therefore, when it comes to a matter like this, there is a saying that everyone should simply surrender. What should we do or what else should we do? "

Christopher immediately said: "This is plagiarism of your work. Has he peeked at your outline?"

Rowling said with a confused look on her face: "I just finished the outline of the fourth part before I got on the plane yesterday. Even if he wanted to take a peek, he didn't have the time. As for plagiarism, don't forget, in Regarding such a matter, we actually have a contract with him. He owns the copyright of Harry Potter. If he wants to write it himself, then there is no problem at all.

By the way, don’t forget to deposit the remuneration you should pay me into my account. Otherwise, if Ye Ming really flips the table, your publishing house will have no choice. Changing a publishing house is not a big deal for the copyright owner. What a difficult thing. "

At this time, Christopher also understood very clearly. In such a matter, some problems are actually that simple. Do you have chips? If you have enough chips, you can turn over. But if you don’t have enough chips, When it comes to the epoxy automatic thing, it just seems a bit childish.

Now, in fact, Christopher himself felt that he encouraged Rowling to come here to seek the benefits he deserved. This matter was not worth the gain.

Now it seems that things are indeed like this. At this time, Christopher said feebly: "Ye Ming, Easterners, are all such cunning people? Why can he write the latter part? I really don't understand. , I really don’t understand.”

No matter how hard Christopher tried, he still couldn't understand why Ye Ming had such ability. But no matter what it is, if Ye Ming has a manuscript, he will really be able to flip the table on a matter like this.

And Harry Potter is a cash cow for the publishing house. If Ye Ming actually said that he took the initiative to change people in such a matter, the impact on the publishing house would be very great.

If Rowling's manuscript can really be used as a bargaining chip, then it does not mean that such a thing cannot be changed. But now it seems that, in fact, on this good issue, Rowling's manuscript has a negative impact on Ye Ming. At least it's not that lethal.

Therefore, Christopher also felt very helpless and frustrated when it came to such a thing. After all, he spent all his efforts to do such a thing, just to allow the publishing house to have a better future. . Did he do this wrong?

No, what was wrong was that he met a powerful opponent. (To be continued)
