Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

…

On this day, JK Rowling welcomed a guest from afar.

Mr. Qing Zhiyuan from Neon and Ms. Hitotsubashi Fumie, the chief producer of Moon River Company.

"Hello, my name is Qing Zhiyuan, CEO of Yuehe Group. I made an appointment by phone before, but it was a bit abrupt to come to the door.

nice to meet you. "

After speaking, he introduced Hitotsubashi Fumi-e next to him.

This was the first time Qing Zhiyuan saw a real person. At this time, Luo Lin was much younger than he expected, and she wore a pair of big round glasses on her face.

Her appearance gives people a typical British female image, with thick brown curly hair, bright eyes, a straight nose, and full lips. Her face is slightly oval, with fair skin and a healthy blush on her cheeks.

JK Rowling has a moderate figure, neither skinny nor bloated.

She is about 165 centimeters tall, with broad shoulders and a slender waist.

Her dressing sense is unique, and her high emotional intelligence means that she is good at combining simplicity and fashion, showing an elegant temperament.

If she has low emotional intelligence, she looks a bit like Hermione in the book, a little bit rustic.

Generally speaking, JK Rowling's appearance gives people the impression of being smart, independent, and confident.

Her eyes reveal her love for life and desire for knowledge, which is also the spirit she displayed when creating the "Harry Potter" series.

When Qing Zhiyuan was looking at her, Luo Lin was actually looking at him and Hitotsubashi Fumi.

The first impression Qing Zhiyuan gave to Luo Lin was——

Isn't this man too refined?

Especially Qing Zhiyuan's fair skin and clean shaven beard gave Luo Lin the illusion that this guy was not a girl.

Otherwise it's just a cover.

Many men in the UK have the same temperament as Qing Zhiyuan, elegant, charming, and have a gentle and delicate feeling in their movements.

The young lady next to Qing Zhiyuan caught JK Rowling's attention.

This girl looks very much like the Lily Potter she described, that is, Harry Potter's mother.

However, in Qing Zhiyuan's opinion, if Hitotsubashi Fumi dyed her hair and she was about 10 years younger, she would be quite suitable for the role of Hermione.

At this time, the Hermione in JK Rowling's books and in her heart is definitely not the cute future Emma Watson, but a stubborn girl with messy hair and big teeth.

"Hello, I'm Luo Lin. Come in first and then talk." Luo Lin showed a friendly smile and let the two people into the house.

Qing Zhiyuan was a little too polite, and made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Qing Zhiyuan and Hitotsubashi Fumi were invited by JK Rowling to sit on the sofa.

He looked around her house with his eyes as he spoke.

He noticed the interesting paintings hanging on the walls, each showing a unique artistic style.

These paintings may be artworks created by JK Rowling herself.

In addition to the paintings, Qing Zhiyuan also noticed the furnishings and decorations in the room.

He saw a beautiful tea set placed on an exquisite coffee table, as well as some books and magazines.

These books may be JK Rowling's reading materials, or they may be reference materials for her writing.

In addition, Qing Zhiyuan also noticed the furniture and layout in the room.

He saw an old sofa and a narrow desk. These pieces of furniture may have been J.K. Rowling’s working area when she was writing, where she may have spent many nights and created many amazing stories.

Overall, the room was not too big, but it was in line with his idea of ​​an ordinary British family.

…

After the two of them sat down, Rowling made a pot of black tea and poured a cup into everyone's teacups.

For some reason, while smelling the aroma of tea, Qing Zhiyuan had the illusion that he had entered medieval Europe.

I always feel like the characters and stories in Harry Potter or Charlotte are all alive.

"That's it," Qing Zhiyuan said straight to the point without beating around the bush, "We are here this time to buy the copyright of Harry Potter from you. Specifically, it is the future comic adaptation of Harry Potter. rights, as well as game adaptation and film and television adaptation rights..."

Qing Zhiyuan took out the contract and detailed instructions that he had already prepared from his briefcase, put them on the coffee table, and pushed them in front of Luo Lin.

"None of these will affect the publication and rights of your book. They are separate, so you can rest assured that even if you sign a contract with us, it will not affect your income from the sale of your book.

Moreover, once it is filmed and gamified, we will promote it globally, which will be more beneficial to your book sales.

After your popularity increases, your books will definitely sell very well. "

"Well, can I take a look first?" Rowling reached out and took the contract and instructions on the table and read them carefully.

To be honest, JK Rowling was shocked when she received a call from Qing Zhiyuan a few days ago.

On the one hand, it was because this Neon Man, thousands of miles away, suddenly said that he wanted to come to talk about the copyright of Harry Potter, which made JK Rowling a little bit unbelievable.

How did he know, being so far away and the novel currently only being published in England?

This in itself is puzzling.

At the same time, this businessman from Neon actually said that he would bring the book to the big screen and also adapt it into a game...

This is even more confusing.

Although Rowling loved the book she wrote, she didn't think it was good enough to be adapted into a movie.

…

Now JK Rowling is still a teacher, and her life is actually quite poor. In June this year, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" had just been released.

So far, a total of 10,000 copies have been sold, which has slightly solved her food and clothing problem.

Maybe 10,000 copies is nothing to many people, but this is JK Rowling’s starting point. 10,000 copies is already considered a very remarkable achievement in the field of fairy tale novels.

And Qing Zhiyuan knows that there are only 10,000 copies now, but the subsequent growth rate is astonishing, and it will be possible to sell more than 500 million copies worldwide in the future.

Harry Potter relies on the author's extraordinary imagination to present a conceived story of a magic school and magicians to readers. It is a very popular work among children.

Qing Zhiyuan came here almost at the right time. According to his plan, he should have come to visit JK Rowling a few months earlier, but now it is a bit late.

If we don’t take action now, the price for obtaining the corresponding copyright in the future will be too high.

Moreover, even if this one can be negotiated, the next Harry Potter will definitely rise.

In fact, it’s all a headache.

If you don't act quickly, someone will get ahead of you in the future.

At least with the success of the first book, there will be a certain foundation of trust for future cooperation, and it will be easier to collaborate on the next book.

…

After talking for a while, JK Rowling had a certain understanding of Qing Zhiyuan:

Mr. Qing Zhiyuan is a wealthy neon businessman who has a deep love for the Harry Potter series of books.

He had read the Harry Potter books many times and was deeply attracted by the magical world in them.

During this meeting, Qing Zhiyuan expressed his strong interest in the copyright of Harry Potter.

He believes that introducing Harry Potter into the film, television and gaming markets will be a huge success.

"Harry Potter is definitely a very imaginative and creative work. This magical world is really exciting."

Qing Zhiyuan explained, "If it is adapted into a movie, it will be very good. At that time, audiences around the world will be excited to see such an excellent work."

"What?" Rowling asked in confusion, "Isn't it released on Neon?"

"Yes, it will not only be released on Neon, but also on OMI simultaneously. We are an international film and television company."

What Qing Zhiyuan said is actually correct. After all, Yuehe is now a multinational group, although it seems that this company does not have any good movies yet.

At least in form and function, it has the ability to be distributed globally.

However, JK Rowling appears to be very cautious about selling copyrights.

and……

She actually doesn’t have much idea about the so-called film and television and gamification.

Despite this, Qing Zhiyuan did not give up. He presented JK Rowling with a detailed plan that included various strategies and marketing tools to promote Harry Potter in Neon.

"We will respect the spirit of the original work and ensure that Harry Potter will be a successful cross-cultural project." Qing Zhiyuan expressed her doubts.

After all, novels are almost like their own biological children to the author.

Once the child is picked up by someone else, I always feel a little uneasy.

What if it was ruined, changed beyond recognition?

And can Neon's Yuehe company really capture the magical world in her mind?

These are actually the big questions on Rowling's mind, and it is difficult to make a decision at all.

However, Qing Zhiyuan came prepared. Just like the storyboard animation prepared for The Matrix before, this time he also prepared animation for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Although it is just a line drawing, it can already show the film style and Yuehe's production ability.

Hitotsubashi Fumi took out his laptop and played some animation clips for JK Rowling.

A small part of it is the Quidditch game. In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, students from the academy ride broomsticks to play ball games. This kind of game is quite special, with various small objects flying in the sky. Balls, each ball has a different score.

In the animation, the entire camera movement and the exciting scenes of Harry Potter's competition with everyone are shown.

After reading it, Rowling opened her mouth and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Wow. Wow...oh..."

She licked her chapped lips and couldn't say a word for a long time.

It's really shocking. Even the line drawing animation has vividly displayed the smooth movement and camera performance in her eyes.

It is really hard to believe that this is actually what a film and television production company from the other side of the Pacific can do.

It was almost exactly as she imagined, even the drawing of Harry Potter was so lifelike.

is this real?

It was as if her brain had been peered into.

It's really amazing.

"It's amazing, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan, I don't even know how to express my feelings," Rowling stretched out her hand and held Qing Zhiyuan's hand tightly, "You must have read Harry Potter carefully. Potter, I thank you."

It's actually not easy for Rowling. Her dream has continued to this day, but has never been realized. She was always looked down upon by others, and no one recognized her weird ideas.

Including this publication, it was originally just a product she planned to try out.

But I didn't expect that it would be loved by so many children.

What made her even more unexpected was that there was a reader in the far east who understood her so well.

And this reader, with his mature and superb animation production skills, painted the picture in her mind.

It's a miracle.

But such a miracle happened to her.

…

As for the game adaptation, Qing Zhiyuan thinks this way:

First, we reproduce the scenes and stories of Harry Potter according to the production method of action RPG. The gameplay and other aspects are also based on the book, and are restored as much as possible.

In addition, Qing Zhiyuan also plans to make Quidditch an important part of the game.

Maybe in the future, Quidditch can be taken out separately to create a new series of games.

However, this game actually poses a great challenge to the production team, mainly due to the problem of 3D blur.

You'd be dizzy standing on the ground, let alone [flying a broomstick] in the air. It's almost like a fighter simulator, and you'd definitely be dizzy to the point of death.

It’s just a matter of time to see how to solve this problem.

…

"As for the copyright fee," Qing Zhiyuan pointed to the contract, "We have prepared 200,000 pounds for you, which should be enough for you to live a good life.

And we will inform you when the movie is being shot, and all content will respect the wishes of the original work, so please rest assured. "

Wow……

Rowling's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, Luo Lin was already moved when she saw the storyboard animation provided by Qing Zhiyuan.

It is really not easy to meet Qing Zhiyuan who understands Harry Potter and her production method so well.

She believes the neon merchant has what it takes to take Harry Potter to a whole new level.

What's more, the asking price is now as high as 200,000 pounds.

This is an astronomical figure that Rowling has never dreamed of in her life.

How many books do you need to sell to earn enough money?

JK Rowling sat on the sofa, clasping her hands and rubbing them back and forth. She gritted her teeth and was shocked in her heart.

"As long as you work hard, I believe you can do very well."

Luo Lin thought seriously, "To be honest, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan, you gave me too much shock today, and I also believe that your company has such strength, but for such a major matter, please give me some Would you like to take some time to think about it seriously?”

"sure no problem."

Qing Zhiyuan stood up and extended his right hand to her, "We will stay in the UK these days. If you have any decisions, you can call us or come to the hotel to find us."

Next to him, Fumie Hitotsubashi handed over his business card, the hotel's address and phone number just in time.

"Okay, then I look forward to meeting you. Goodbye."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled, waved his hand, and left with Fumi Hitotsubashi.

…

As expected, Luo Lin came to the hotel within a few days and agreed to Qing Zhiyuan's request.

“It’s not because of money, the most important thing is that I think handing over Harry Potter to Mr. Qing Zhiyuan should be its best destination.

I'm looking forward to what the follow-up movies will look like, and I'm also looking forward to being able to experience the content from Harry Potter in the game, especially the Quidditch game. "

"Okay, we won't let you down."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and shook her hand.

After sending her away.

The two parties reached a preliminary intention, and then the contract was handed over to Hitotsubashi Mune for handling.

"I didn't expect Ao-san to have time to read children's books," Hitotsubashi Fumi smiled, showing his beautiful, straight teeth, "And it's a British children's book, which is amazing."

The corners of Qing Zhiyuan's mouth twitched twice, feeling that this guy was mocking him.

"Of course, as a successful businessman, you must keep an eye on all directions and keep an eye on new things happening in the world.

Just like "Harry Potter", even if it is a children's book, as long as you dig carefully, it may become a very good subject matter. "

"Yeah."

Hitotsubashi Fumi nodded in agreement.

What Qing Zhiyuan said is true.

At first, when Qing Zhiyuan wanted to take her on the plane, Hitotsubashi Fumi was actually quite surprised. However, after reading the entire Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on the plane, Hitotsubashi Fumue was interested in this book. A big improvement.

Although it is a children's book, the magical world depicted in the book is full of rich imagination, and the whole story is gripping and exciting. If this book is adapted into a movie, it will definitely be a great work.

only……

What Hitotsubashi Fumi is most worried about now is, is Tsukihe really capable of making a good movie?

…
