Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Who is Rowling?

The author of "Harry Potter" in the previous life, the world's most famous children's writer.

Chapter 482 Harry Potter

Since the first "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" achieved a sales miracle, Rowling has successively created "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Seven works, including Teddy and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, have sold well in more than 200 countries. Cumulative sales reached more than 5000 million copies.

Later, "Harry Potter" was made into a movie, and the total box office of the eight films earned 72 billion US dollars worldwide, making it one of the hottest Hollywood series.

Xiao Yunhai originally thought of bringing "Harry Potter" to this world, but he has only watched the movie and never read the book.In the end, I had to give up the best-selling novel in history.

But what he never imagined was that not only did Rowling actually exist in this world, but she also stood in front of him with "Harry Potter", which made Xiao Yunhai extremely shocked for a moment.

Seeing Xiao Yunhai's indifferent appearance, Rowling thought that the other party looked down on her, so she withdrew her outstretched hand and sat back with a displeased expression on her face.

Kerry gave Rowling an apologetic look, stood up and touched Xiao Yunhai, and said, "Xiao, it's really rude of you to do this, should you apologize to Ms. Rowling?"

Xiao Yunhai came back to his senses and asked, "What did you say?"

Kerry frowned and said, "Dude, what's wrong with you? Ms. Rowling greeted you just now, why did you ignore her?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunhai said, "I was a little dazed just now, it wasn't on purpose."

Xiao Yunhai walked up to Rowling, and said with apologetic face: "Ms. Rowling, I'm really sorry, your name is similar to a friend of mine before, and it made me fall into the memories of the past, please help me forgive."

Rowling seemed to sense Xiao Yunhai's sincerity, she stood up again, and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Xiao Yunhai took the initiative to reach out his hand, shook hands with her, pointed to the book on Kerry's desk, and said, "Can I have a look?"

Rowling smiled, "Of course."

Xiao Yunhai picked up the top copy of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", and said to Kerry: "Let me read it for a while, if you have anything to talk to Ms. Rowling."

Xiao Yunhai nodded to Luo Lin, then sat on the sofa and turned over.

Although he hadn't read the book in his previous life, he had watched the movie several times, and he knew the stories in it very well.

It took Xiao Yunhai more than ten minutes to browse through it at a glance, and thought: "That's right, that's it, it's similar to the plot in the movie."

Xiao Yunhai raised his head and turned his attention to the conversation between Kerry and Rowling.

He wanted to see if Kerry had the vision to see what was extraordinary about this novel.

"Ms. Rowling, I spent three days reading your five novels from beginning to end. I have to say that it is a very good work, but I want us to buy it for 500 million US dollars. Its film rights, it's just not possible."

Rowling frowned and said, "Mr. Kerry, if these five novels can be brought to the big screen, I think it is very likely that they will be a huge success. I hope you can think about it again."

Kerry shook his head and said, "Ms. Rowling, I've told you many times just now. Movies and novels are completely different things. The magical world you imagine may not be perfectly presented in movies. More The important thing is that your novel does not have a huge readership, which is undoubtedly the most fatal for a film adapted from a novel. Even if you go to another film company, I believe the ending will be the same.”

Rowling said disappointedly: "I voted for a total of four film companies, and the first three have no news. You are the only one who is willing to buy it with 100 million US dollars. But I'm sorry, I can't agree. They are like mine. Like kids, I would never sell them cheap."

Kerry frowned and said: "Ms. Rowling, I can understand your feelings for "Harry Potter". It's just that feelings belong to feelings, and business belongs to business. The two cannot be confused. 150 million US dollars, this is My bottom line."

Rowling shook her head, stood up, and said, "Mr. Kerry, I'm sorry, but I can't agree."

Kerry shrugged and said, "That's a pity."

The two shook hands.

Luo Lin looked disappointed, and was about to turn around and leave, when Xiao Yunhai suddenly heard: "Ms. Luo Lin, please wait."

Luo Lin looked at Xiao Yunhai and said, "Is Mr. Xiao okay?"

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "I want to ask, I think your book is very good, why don't you go to a publishing house to publish it?"

Rowling said with a wry smile: "My first novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has been published in the UK, but unfortunately the response was mediocre and only a few hundred copies were sold. The publishing house directly sold "Harry Potter" His publishing contract returned and he is no longer working with me."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Ms. Luo Lin, I am also a writer. In the past two years, I have written a total of four novels, and the total sales in China have reached [-]. From my point of view, I think your novel, As long as the publicity is done well, it is entirely possible to sell well all over the world.”

When Rowling heard this, she said suspiciously, "Mr. Xiao, your novel has sold 6000 million copies? How is that possible?"

Kerry on the side said: "Ms. Rowling, I can testify that the Mr. Xiao in front of you is indeed the most famous writer in China. At the same time, he is also an excellent businessman, director, actor and singer.

Rowling said in surprise: "This is simply unbelievable."

Kerry said, "Xiao, have you taken a fancy to Ms. Rowling's book?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded, and said: "Kerry, I dare not talk about the Harry Potter movie, but as far as this book is concerned, I am very optimistic about it."

Kerry said, "Then why don't you buy the rights?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Kerry, I just don't want to steal your business."

Kerry shook his head and said, "I've given up, you can have a good talk with Ms. Rowling here."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Thank you then. Ms. Luo Lin, can we talk?"

Rowling smiled, "Of course."

Xiao Yunhai unceremoniously pushed Kerry aside, stuffed the book into his hand, pointed to the sofa and said: "Hey, buddy, you can sit there for a while."

When Rowling heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

Kerry said, "You bastard, this is my office."

Xiao Yunhai shrugged, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm requisitioned now. Ms. Luo Lin, please sit down."

Rowling smiled and sat down again.

Kerry shook his head and sighed helplessly: "It's really unkind to meet people."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Ms. Rowling, although I only read a few pages of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", I feel that it gives me a very strong sense of substitution. As a writer, I am very aware of this kind of substitution. The feeling is extremely rare, as if swimming in the magical world in the book. Therefore, I want to buy all its copyrights."

Chapter 483 Copyright Acquired

Rowling was very happy to hear that Xiao Yunhai praised her novel so highly, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your great love for Harry Potter. You are so confident that this novel will definitely be a success? Seriously, I'm already discouraged myself."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "There is an old Chinese saying that gold always shines. I think Harry Potter is not just a piece of gold, it may even be a gold mine. Ms. Rowling, would you like to Sell ​​it to me?"

Rowling said: "Of course I am willing. Mr. Xiao, I have paid 500 million US dollars just for the film adaptation rights. If it is all copyrights, the price may be even higher."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Would you please bid?"

Rowling thought about it, and said, "I have written five books in total, and there may be two more in the future. If you really like it, I am willing to sell it to you for $500 million."

Kerry, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, suddenly exclaimed, "My God, Ms. Rowling, are you joking?"

Rowling shook her head and said seriously: "I never joke about my Harry Potter."
