Chapter 466

"Boss, this is the sales data of Harry Potter books in January."

After the meeting, all the senior executives dispersed, leaving only Zhuke and Ms. Hassan in the huge conference room.

"Boss, thanks to the box office performance of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone, the sales data of the whole January can be described as an explosion," Ms. Hassan said while presenting the report to Zhuke

Data explosion?

"In just one month," Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone "and" Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets "have sold 15 million copies, almost the result of our efforts in the previous year." Ms. Hassan sighed with excitement.

No way, the film for the sale of books, very obvious.

"So much?"

Rao is Zhu Ke is also surprised: "that is to say," Harry Potter "book series of global cumulative sales, has nearly 40 million copies?"

"42.3 million copies!" Ms. Hassan said excitedly: "boss, I can't believe its sales will be so amazing. Since I started my career, there are only a few books in the publishing industry that can achieve such amazing performance."

She can't help it.

You know, the whole Harry Potter series, author Rowling is expected to be up to six volumes, or even more.

From book sales, movies, TV series, animation, music, clothing, peripheral licensing, theme park

No doubt, this is a huge gold mine!

"Boss, I suggest that when the movie" Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets "starts shooting, the books and novels of" Harry Potter 3 "can be launched. At that time, there will be another wave of sales." Ms. Hassan said.

Zucker nodded.

In the future, the sales of the whole Harry Potter series of novels will exceed 500 million copies in the world, second only to the Bible and Maoxuan. Is that a joke?!

In the following time, Zhuke talked a lot with Ms. Hassan.

It mainly focuses on the copyright of bestsellers.

Well, the film adaptation rights of the novel.

Jin Shuguang publishing, backed by Jin Shuguang entertainment group, has a huge channel for film and television entertainment publicity and promotion, which many publishing houses can't have. The film and television of novels alone is enough to attract a large number of young writers to contribute actively.

Jin Shuguang publishing, the future can be expected!

Of course, the traditional publishing industry is bound to be impacted by the Internet in the future, especially the network novel. Even if the United States has a good paper book reading foundation, it will also be affected by many factors. Otherwise, there will not be so many publishing houses closing down after 2010.

Transformation, not to mention imminent, is also the top priority of the company in the future.

"The film and television copyright of novels is the key work of the company!" Chuckland said.

Finally, before leaving, Zhuke left the first volume of the trilogy novel "hunger game" and asked her to arrange the publication. At the same time, the company's editorial department was responsible for the second revision and the continuation of the following content.

"Who let me have only the first volume?"

.......

When Zhuke left Jin Shuguang publishing, it was already 9 p.m.

"Just a moment, Mr. Wald."

Just out of the gate, there was a tall young man running straight at Zhuke, but he was stopped by the security personnel beside him.

"Mr. ward, my name is Zach Braff, a screenwriter and director. This is my screenplay. Please correct it. Thank you very much. Please give me a chance ~ "

Although the young man was stopped by the security personnel, he still asked loudly.

"Ah

Zucker sighed, "Jonathan, please let him come."

"Yes, boss." The security personnel should have said yes.

It's not uncommon to stop people who want to offer themselves to Zhuke. Since Zhuke became a famous movie tycoon in Hollywood, there are too many such things.

To tell you the truth, Zucker knew it was boring.

There are all kinds of crap scripts.

What's more, he wrote a synopsis of the play without even a detailed content. What is the purpose of these people? To put it bluntly, it's money fraud!

However, Zhuke is willing to give these young people a chance.

What if there's a good script?

Miss, that is really a pity!

Once the script that Zucker missed was shot by other film companies and achieved a good box office performance, it was definitely a beep dog feeling for Zucker.

In the original time and space, James Wen (Wen Ziren) was the director. With the script "electric saw" written by him and his friends, he traveled to several film companies and just won the favor of Lion Gate. He became famous at one stroke and sold well at the box office.

In 1976, Stallone negotiated with dozens of film companies with his own screenplay rocky, but no one paid for it; At the same time, he also set an amazing record of 230 scripts sent to film companies by mail alone.

Many companies scoff that rocky has no bright spot.

What happened?

Rocky made more than $100 million at the North American box office!

Man, that was 1976!

Its shocking performance, just like the big ship in 1997, is a world-class shock!

More than 230 Hollywood film companies have received the script of rocky, but they all missed it.

"Alas, I don't want to miss a good screenplay." Zucker often admonishes himself.

Not long

After reading the script for a while, Zhuke, who took it from the young man, made a sound of surprise.

——Back in New Jersey!

It's the name of the play.

The reason for the surprise is that in his last life, Zhuke had bought the pirated VCD of the film.

The film can be said to be the beginning of Hollywood Wenqing film in the 21st century. It has the elements of similar films in the future, such as the awkward interaction between men and women, the extensive use of independent band songs as soundtracks, and a ray of sunshine in the gloomy atmosphere

At the same time, its box office performance is also very eye-catching.

Only $2.5 million of production costs, and after its release in 2004, the box office market in the United States alone has achieved more than $35 million of box office performance.

Rare small cost high box office movie!

"What's your name, please?" Zhuke closes the script and looks at the young man who dares to intercept himself.

He is 1.85 meters tall, wearing a shirt and khaki coat.

"My name is Zach! Zach Braff The young man responded excitedly.

Zhuke nodded and said, sure enough.

In the original time and space, Zach Braff is not only the screenwriter but also the director of love for New Jersey. At the same time, he also plays the role of No.1 man.

In the future, I dare not say that it will be very popular, but in the United States, it is also a little famous, and there has been no lack of olive branch thrown by film companies.

When Zhuke asked his name, he had already made a decision in his heart.

Spiderman, Harry Potter and other films are very good. First line commercial productions can achieve high box office performance, but a film company can't lack other types of low-cost works, otherwise it can only be complacent.

"Jonathan, give him a call from Kevin Fitch." Chuck looked at Zach Braff and laughed.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wald!" Young people are excited.

"The first watch" is presented.
