There are thousands of years on the road of life, and one shoulder bears all the sorrows of the past and present.

The first sentence talks about storytelling scripts. Thousands of years from ancient to modern times are all contained in the scripts. The latter sentence talks about Mr. Storyteller. The seven things that open the door to life are firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Whatever is needed in life can be found. A shoulder bag, a burden, living expenses, whether there are seniors or young people, the food and clothing for the whole family can be obtained from this shoulder bag.

Be responsible and moral. Although storytelling is hard work, storytellers don't think that it is good to be able to support such a family. If the storyteller is like this, then the person who writes the book is naturally a bit difficult to figure out.

Rowling is the one who wrote the book. She is naturally rich now. Of course, most of the money was earned by Ye Ming. After all, the contract clearly states that the copyright belongs to Ye Ming. Ye Ming is just in accordance with the contract. The contract only gives the author a small share of the money. For ordinary people, this money is naturally a very huge amount of wealth. But compared to Harry Potter's craftsmanship, this money is not really money. .

Therefore, in such a situation, Rowling was a little unhappy. At this moment, both Rowling and Christopher are in Hollywood. In fact, if these two people had not arrived in Hollywood in person, Warner Brothers would not be so anxious about such an issue.

Rowling showed her cards. At this moment, Ai Qiuhua and Columbus came to find Ye Ming. This matter must be won over by Ye Ming. Ye Ming owns the copyright of Harry Potter. It can be said that the interests are the same as those of Warner Brothers. Therefore, there is such a situation As an ally, that would be pretty good, but at a time like this, some things are not as simple as they seem now.

Ye Ming's reaction to this matter seemed to be very cold, so this made Ai Qiuhua a little uneasy. It was not something that he would just agree to happily. Under such a situation, Ye Ming thought about it for himself, except for a regular script Complaining about Warner Bros.'s approach, in fact, everything that follows is perfunctory.

This matter cannot continue like this, so Ai Qiuhua went on to say: "Rowling and her publisher Christopher have arrived in Hollywood to have a showdown with Warner Bros., and Christopher has brought along a team of lawyers. I I think, if they want to file a lawsuit with us, they must have decided that we will not let go, and they have already wanted to file a lawsuit with us at this time."

This is what Warner Brothers least wants to see.

Ye Ming pondered for a while before saying: "I want to know the whole situation, how bad this situation is. Don't lie, since our interests are consistent, then on a matter like this, I want to Understand all the circumstances.

Don't hide anything from me. I know that you, the big Hollywood companies, would not come to me casually unless it came to a situation that is truly unavoidable. "

Ye Ming had noticed this a long time ago. Warner Brothers really said it couldn't solve the problem, so they approached Ye Ming himself. There would definitely be no problem with this. If Warner can solve it on its own, for example, if the first Harry Potter movie is released, it will have nothing to do with Ye Ming, and the second movie requires Ye Ming's authorization before approaching Ye Ming at this time.

Of course, Ye Ming also wanted to make money, and he didn't take Warner Brothers' negligence into consideration at all. He would not struggle with money, so he directly agreed to Warner's request. But this time, there must be a problem they can't solve.

Columbus couldn't sit still at this time. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "Here's the thing, we are filming the second part of Harry Potter. You should know this clearly, but we also want to continue filming. The third part, after all, the special effects required for such a movie are very troublesome. Therefore, we thought that when shooting the second part, we would also shoot the content required for the third part. In this case, it would be easier to do post-production. Be more relaxed and you can probably do one movie a year.

However, now that we have the script for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, we still don’t know what kind of script the third Harry Potter movie will be. If we can't get the script for the third part as soon as possible, our previous preparations will be shelved.

Moreover, the losses will be very large. Rowling also threatened us to sign a new contract because of this, otherwise we would not be given the script. "

Ye Ming snorted and said nothing. This was definitely not Rowling's own idea, or it was not Rowling's own idea at the beginning. Rowling should have been instigated by someone. It must have been Christopher who said no. clear.

Ai Qiuhua also said immediately: "The matter is actually just like this. They originally wanted to find you first, but considering that our film company is just buying the copyright, they want us to agree first, and then we The two companies joined forces and made a plan. I guess this is their idea, or what kind of method they have to get you to change the contract. We don't know this, but they found our Warner company first."

This incident was actually an accident, which made Ai Qiuhua feel very surprised. Ye Ming laughed loudly: "This is what you Warner Bros. told Rowling not to publish it so quickly. It was originally meant to deal with me, but in the end, you shot yourself in the foot. You deserve it. But our interests are Likewise, I will not ignore a group like Rowling's.

Forget it, at this time, we should first meet with Rowling and Christopher to see what they think.

By the way, you don’t need to bring a lawyer, it may not be useful if you have more people. "This is Ye Ming's own idea. If Luo Lin thinks that she can overturn the verdict if she has the manuscript, this is impossible. Ye Ming has a ******** system, and it is not that he will not be subject to this kind of punishment. Now let’s take a look at Rowling and Christopher, mainly to see how far they want to cause trouble.

But without a lawyer, Ai Qiuhua was stunned by this incident: "Without a lawyer, is this possible? I heard that Luo Lin and the others did not bring a lawyer. Such a battle does not mean they want to file a lawsuit with us. , I just want to file a lawsuit with you, Ye Ming. And if we say we won’t bring a lawyer, then how will we deal with such a matter in the future? They will lead us by the nose. "

Ye Ming said very confidently: "This is to reason, not to fight. Therefore, on an issue like this, no matter how it is, at this time, some issues are We need to think about it that way, mainly to talk about what they want and what concessions we can make."

Ai Qiuhua shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this matter will not be easy. It may not be possible for the company to give in, and depending on the attitude of the two of them, because they have the manuscript in hand, they also have chips to showdown with us. This When the time comes, they probably won’t give in.”

Ye Ming glanced at Ai Qiuhua with disdain and said, "Are you sure if you don't want to give in? If Warner Bros. doesn't want to give in, then it won't let Mi and you two come, but will go directly to the court.

If you don't give in, stop teasing me. Harry Potter has made so much money, so no matter what, he has to send a red envelope to the author. Anyway, it's better to give him some benefits. What do you think? "

It seems that the things in the contract have been completed, but Harry Potter is indeed very profitable. If outside the contract, the author can be given some red envelopes or something, this can capture people's hearts.

In fact, Warner Bros. really asked Ai Qiuhua and Columbus to be responsible for such a thing, which means that in such a situation, there is a sense of compromise. If it is said that there is no compromise, then in such a situation, As for the issue, just as Ye Ming said, it goes directly to court.

Ai Qiuhua said with some worry: "It is impossible for us to re-sign the contract, but if we are talking about giving red envelopes, then such a thing is not non-negotiable. But is it useful for us to agree to such a thing?

If it is said that we agree, but Rowling does not agree, what should we do about such a thing? "Actually, this kind of question is what Ai Qiuhua really wants to know the answer to. Rowling and Christopher are so aggressive that they will never give up until they achieve their goals.

Therefore, regarding such an issue, no matter how it is said, this matter makes Warner very difficult. Rowling has their shortcomings, and the shortcoming is the script. The manuscript of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azban is what Warner Bros. wants now, otherwise Warner's losses will be considerable.

What is currently being filmed is the plot of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Therefore, under such a situation, Warner Bros. can still persist for a few days, but if it is said that at such a time, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets The filming of the Chamber of Secrets has been completed, but in this case, if Rowling does not come up with the manuscript of the third part of Harry Potter, then the crew will stop for a day at this time, which will cost a lot of money.

Therefore, such a problem is actually quite challenging in this matter. Rowling has to say that she found a very clever breakthrough.

This forces Warner Bros. to deal with it carefully. If it is a lawsuit, it is a waste of time. Warner Bros. cannot afford it. It must get the third Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azban as soon as possible. manuscript.

Ye Ming stood up and said harshly: "If you don't agree, huh, if you don't agree, then just flip the table over. I don't believe they dare to hurt both sides." Speaking of which, whether it is Rowling or Christopher, in fact, There is only one thing everyone wants, which is to earn more profits from something like this. This is what everyone needs.

Turning the table over is not in Rowling's interests, nor is it in Warner Brothers' interests. Of course, it is even more against Ye Ming's interests. But on such a question, Ye Ming clamored to lift the table or something. Such a thing really gave Ai Qiuhua a headache. She smiled bitterly and said: "If I can lift the table, If so, then I won’t come to you.”

Ye Ming walked out and said, "You don't understand this. Sometimes, flipping the table is the best way to solve the problem. Of course, before flipping the table, you must have the ability to flip the table. You Warner Brothers I was caught in pain and had to ask for the manuscript of the third part, so I didn't dare to lift the table. If you don't change the contract and don't want to lift the table, then what do you want to do about this issue? .”

There was no way. Ai Qiuhua and Columbus came to Ye Ming precisely because they had no way. If there was a way, it was exactly what Ye Ming said. They would not come to Ye Ming at all. At this time, Ai Qiuhua immediately asked: "Do we have the ability to overturn the table?"

Ye Ming did not answer, but said: "Get in the car, leave, and go negotiate with Rowling Christopher. I want to see what they want to do. If they say it's not too much, I can agree, but otherwise, Then just lift the table."

Ye Ming didn't give Ai Qiuhua and Columbus any time to think about it, and directly proposed to find someone to deal with it.

After coming out and getting in the car, Columbus was still a little worried and said: "Ye Ming, this guy, is quite angry. At this time, I feel a chill in my back. His approach can really solve the problem, or Does he really dare to flip the table?"

Ai Qiuhua shook his head and said: "I know whether his method can solve the problem. I don't know what benefits Rowling and Christopher want. But when it comes to Ye Ming flipping the table, then according to me From what I know about this guy, he definitely has the potential to flip the table over something like this.

Even when facing the US government, Ye Ming still has the courage to flip the table. Do you think he has such courage when facing Rowling and Christopher? "

Ye Ming is a person who litigated with the US government. His courage is commendable. But the key is that he litigated with the US government and also did business with the US government. It must be said that Ye Ming is a person who distinguishes between public and private. If you should file a lawsuit, file a lawsuit. If you should make money, you must make money.

A person like this is not that easy to deal with. Warner Bros. has always said that it wants to weaken Ye Ming's influence on Harry Potter, but in such a situation, it is difficult to deal with a person like Ye Ming. Man, is it really possible to succeed by weakening this method?

In other words, the more oppressive you are, the more you resist. Anyway, looking at a guy like Ye Ming, he is definitely not the kind of person who is easy to catch, which is what Warner Brothers does. It can only be said that it made Ye Ming even more angry. (To be continued)
