"Mr. Jia, I'm glad to meet you again. My gratitude to you can't be described in words!" JK Rowling can almost be described as grateful to see boss Jia again.
But this is not surprising, because Harry Potter has sold 50000 copies in three months after he topped the best seller list in Britain.
Don't think this number is very small. You know, in this era of Britain, the sales of a children's literature book has been an unprecedented miracle in the past 20 years.
The sales of 50000 copies also brought in 200000 pounds of royalties for Jay Rowling. In addition to the signing money given by boss Jia, JK Rowling not only got rid of the embarrassing life before, but also bought a house in London and a villa in the suburbs of her hometown. She sent her children to top private schools to make JK Rowling's life easier, Has changed completely.
Now, Harry Potter is going to be listed in the United States. If Harry Potter can have half the miracle in the United States and the United Kingdom, no, even if it is only 14, it can achieve 10 times the sales volume in the United Kingdom. JK Rowling can really earn crazy.
Moreover, boss Jia also gave JK Rowling the right to a sustainable income. JK Rowling can get 50% of the remuneration for the future Harry Potter novels.
As for derivatives such as movies or animation, she can also get a 3% profit share.
[it was written before that JK Rowling only received 20% of the remuneration. In this case, it felt that JK Rowling would definitely make a moth in the future, so it was changed to the above version, but the signing fee for each novel was reduced from US $1 million to US $100000]
How can JK Rowling not appreciate our boss Jia now... After all, boss Jia has bought out all the copyrights of the Harry Potter series and the world outlook derivative works of Harry Potter in the next 50 years, and all the cultural copyrights. If JK Rowling dares to show no respect to boss Jia, boss Jia will kick JK Rowling away directly, Then find a Chinese Web writer who can write a Harry Potter trilogy.
Believe it or not, the works written by an online writer are usually not much worse than JK Rowling.
"Where!" said boss Jia with a smile. He talked and laughed with JK Rowling for a long time. Boss Jia cut to the point and said, "I've read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone several times, and I've read the draft of Harry Potter and the chamber of Secrets several times. I'm also a serious and loyal fan of you! So I have some questions about the plot. I hope I can get your answer!"
"Mr. Jia is joking!" JK Rowling smiled. "In fact, I also wrote about where and where I thought. I haven't thought about how to deal with many foreshadows for the time being. I may not be able to answer you some questions. But I promise that as long as I have thought about it, I will answer you, even the spoilers don't matter!".
"Hahaha, it has nothing to do with the spoiler. I think it's better for me to wait until the plot of the novel is written. I'm just a little curious about the world outlook of the novel. Whether it's the magic stone or the secret room. The novel only describes the magic world in Britain. Then in other countries, don't there exist magic and Wizards?" boss Jia asked curiously.
"Of course, otherwise the world would be unreasonable!" JK Rowling became extremely happy when she heard that boss Jia really talked about the specific content of the world outlook of the novel with herself.
In fact, although they had a good time chatting before, they were basically some cliches and nonsense. However, when boss Jia and JK Rowling talked about the world outlook, JK Rowling confirmed that boss Jia really read his own novel and read it very carefully and seriously. Otherwise, such a question would not be born, which is not a question that loyal fans can't have.
After discovering that his boss really valued and loved his novels, JK Rowling immediately burst out with 120000 enthusiasm and explained to boss Jia "In my imagination, the magic society exists all over the world, and different from all countries in the real world, the wizard society is relatively united, but there is no war, and there is an organization with certain rights to unify and restrict the Wizards all over the world."
"Of course, each country itself will have its own magic administrative unit. The witches in Britain are directly controlled by the Ministry of magic, while the United States is controlled by the magic Parliament. In fact, the whole of Europe is basically controlled by the Ministry of magic, but each country has its own branches. Some countries with historical origins can be controlled by a Ministry of magic Many countries have their own systems, and other countries have their own systems. Finally, all magic administrative institutions are uniformly controlled by the world magic Council! "JK Rowling briefly described her assumption of the administrative power of the whole magic world.
Of course, because JK Rowling only wrote two Harry Potter books at this time, many settings are not perfect. The specific content sounds to be a certain gap from the final magic world in the future.
"And in my imagination, there is not only one magic school in the world. In Europe, such as France, Germany and Russia, they should all have their own magic schools. Secretly, a future Harry Potter book describes the story of a fierce competition between colleges in several countries!" JK Rowling said, then her eyes lit up, and she was immersed in the world of her own design.
"Well, that's a great idea!" boss Jia praised and made JK Rowling smile like flowers. Then boss Jia said, "then I want to know how you designed the magic society in China? You know, I'm a Chinese, and I'm very curious about these!"
"This..." JK Rowling, who was talking a lot just now, suddenly got stuck.
JK Rowling studied French and classical literature in the University, so the magical world she wrote is very magical. But if you let him understand the classical society and cultivation system of China, it will be difficult for him.
"I think the Chinese wizards may have formed a party with high organization and control ability to manage the whole Chinese wizards!" JK Rowling began to create on site, but boss Jia only frowned.
Isn't this adding some westerners' traditional impression of Chinese to the magical world? It's a pile of shit!
"Very good, but it's different from the Chinese magic society I imagined!" boss Jia interrupted JK Rowling with a smile, and then JK Rowling said with relief. "Mr. Jia already had an idea, so I don't know how you designed it?"
"In fact, this is also one of my goals today. I spent several months and energy designing a system of some simple Chinese magic society and some Chinese unique things. I hope you can see if you can join the text of Harry Potter and show it!" boss Jia said sincerely.
"Write so much!" JK Rowling was really moved when she saw boss Jia holding a thick document with 20 or 30 pages in his hand.
Boss Jia really loves his novels, otherwise he wouldn't write such detailed settings himself.
Well, JK Rowling will never know. It took the fake boss only three nights to finish these things. After all, I have read countless novels in my previous life, and all kinds of settings are copied directly.
