Chapter 97

Rainy London, in front of the British branch of Random House.

JK Rowling rubbed the author's memorial edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone with her hands over and over again, with mixed feelings in her heart.

This time, when others ask about their career, they can finally say the word "writer" honestly.

And I don't have to explain the online book to my parents and friends again and again.

With a smile on her face, she tucked the physical book into her arms, then opened her umbrella and walked leisurely in the rain.

Meanwhile, in New York, where the temperature dropped sharply, Wang Jian was sitting in his office, listening to Tom's work report.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone is at the end of the bestseller list thanks to the massive publicity at random house."

"What's more, the spread of these things should not have a great impact.

It should be, right?

Wang Jian thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Then, regardless of his own business, he opened the keyboard and continued to update the extreme way and the devil.

And in Los Angeles, a screenwriter named Paul shurling went out of a film and television production company.

I've been rejected for my own script.

But what made him more uneasy was that a friend in the television industry came with the news that a crew in New York was also shooting a prison break movie.

The script is adapted from a novel published on the website.

In addition, the website has attracted Wall Street giants to make joint investment.

And its viewing platform has been determined as CBS wireless TV network.

Is your script going to die?

Paul Shure walked to the apartment reluctantly.

When he sat in the study chair, looking at the computer, suddenly a burst of impulse.

No, you can't just give up!

You have to look at the serials, find out the same parts, and revise your script.

In this way, although the theme is the same, it can only be regarded as a creative crash.

Well, it's possible that my script will be shot.

Think about it, he quickly turned on the computer, search "prison break" novel.

A few minutes later, when Paul clicks into the front page of the novel.

His spirit relaxed in an instant.

The protagonist of this novel is a woman.

But the next plot, let him frown, and even began to doubt himself.

He thought it would be a female version of the shawshank redemption.

From the perspective of women, it shows the misfortune of prison life more delicately.

As a result...

he took his own script and compared it with the novel.

His play was rejected, and the novel was already being filmed.

"Is this style out of date?" Paul muttered to himself.

I'm in the golden age of screenwriting, so I can't keep up with the times?

It was unacceptable to Paul schulling.

He turned off his computer and was ready to go for a walk in the street. By the way, he thought about it.

About half an hour later, Paul was walking on Mulholland Road, still in deep self doubt.

Forget it, you'd better go to the bookstore in front of you and see something for a change of mind.

When Paul walked into the bookstore, he found a lot of large posters.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone?

This name seems to have been seen somewhere...

at this time, an obscene young man came up to Paul and said, "brother, have you been bothered by rejection all the time?"

Paul nodded subconsciously, and then he heard the obscene man begin to chatter.

"In fact, there's nothing wrong with our story, it's just that we can't grasp the routine of writing." He pointed to the poster for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone and continued.

"The author of this book, originally a single mother, received the guidance and caused a sensation on the website."

"Now, it's not just random house that's struggling to get the distribution rights. It is said that many film and television companies are fighting for the right of film and television adaptation! "

"Film and television, adaptation right?" Paul murmured.
