Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Lin Hao is now a household name in the UK and even in the whole of Europe. It is hard for J.K. Rowling not to know him. Last time at Prince William's banquet, she wanted to meet Lin Hao, but there were too many people around Lin Hao at that time.

"I like the Harry Potter series of novels and movies very much. They are very good." Lin Hao said to J.K. Rowling.

"Thank you, I am also a fan of Manchester United. I watched the last game live and it was very exciting."

Lin Hao was a little surprised to hear J.K. Rowling's words. He didn't see her that day, but it was normal. There were countless celebrities from all over Europe that day, and Lin Hao only saw some of them.

"Let me introduce you to the three main actors of Harry Potter. They are Daniel Radcliffe who plays Harry Potter in the play, Rupert Grint who plays Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger." J.K. Rowling introduced the three children around him to Lin Hao.

"Wow, I'm very happy to meet three little wizards." Lin Hao looked at the three people and said with a smile.

Daniel Radcliffe is 14 years old this year, Rupert Grint is 15 years old, and Emma Watson is only 13 years old. The three are now very well-known. It is estimated that there is no one more famous than them at this age worldwide, especially in the UK. The whole of Britain is crazy about the three.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin." Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint noticed Lin Hao early in the morning. Lin Hao is their idol. At the age of 19, he is a billionaire, the owner of Manchester United, and the boyfriend of the first socialite in New York. All of this is what men dream of.

Although they are still young, they are envious of Ivanka when they think of her. This is a peerless beauty that all men dream of.

"Thank you, but why add a little, I prefer others to call me a witch." Emma Watson looked at Lin Hao and said.

"Haha, then the little witch is fine." Lin Hao said with a smile when he heard Emma Watson's words.

"You are not a gentleman at all." Emma Watson looked up at Lin Hao and said after hearing what Lin Hao said.

"Then what is a gentleman?" Lin Hao asked with interest.

"At least you should be polite to ladies, instead of thinking that I am young and easy to bully like now." Emma Watson said seriously.

"Haha, then Ms. Emma Watson, you are the most powerful witch I have ever seen, is this okay?" Lin Hao looked at Emma Watson and asked with a smile.

"That's about right." Seeing Lin Hao say this, Emma Watson said proudly.

Seeing Emma Watson like this, Lin Hao couldn't help but touch her head, but it was a pity that she was too young now.

Emma Watson was suddenly patted on the head by Lin Hao, and her face turned red all of a sudden. She lowered her head a little embarrassedly. Of course, she knew about Lin Hao. Now the whole of Britain is discussing it. Her popularity is even higher than the three of them. Of course, she is very curious about Lin Hao. She just said that to show her intention, but she didn't expect Lin Hao to do this.

After Lin Hao patted her head, he took his hand back. Although Emma Watson will be a big beauty when she grows up, she is still a little girl now. Lin Hao is not very interested in her now. Lin Hao is still interested in the copyright of J.K. Rowling's later novels.

Although Warner has signed the film copyright of the "Harry Potter" novels with J.K. Rowling, it is only the first few. The film copyright of the last two novels should not have been sold yet, because the last two novels "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" are still in creation, but Warner has the right of first refusal.

Lin Hao was really drooling over the copyright of the Harry Potter novel series, but unfortunately he was reborn a little late. Warner Bros. reached an agreement with J.K. Rowling in mid-1999.

"Has the filming of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban been completed?" Lin Hao asked J.K. Rowling.

"Yes, it has been completed and is in post-production. It will be released next year." Before J.K. Rowling spoke, Emma Watson answered first.

"That's really looking forward to it. I wonder which part you have created now?" Lin Hao asked.

"I am writing the sixth part now, named Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It may take a few years to meet you." J.K. Rowling replied.

"I wonder if the film copyright is still in your hands?" Lin Hao asked directly and frankly.

J.K. Rowling was a little surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect Lin Hao to be so direct.After the Harry Potter movie became a big hit, many people approached her to buy the movie copyright, but there were relatively few people who asked directly like Lin Hao.

"I'm very sorry. Although the copyright of the last two Harry Potter movies is still in my hands, I have reached an agreement with Warner. We have cooperated for a long time and it is very pleasant. I don't plan to sell it to others." J.K. Rowling said apologetically.

"It's completely understandable, but I hope you can consider it. Universal Pictures is the world's largest film and television company. We can better present your work to the global audience, and I can give you an astronomical copyright fee and even a share of the movie box office."

Lin Hao was willing to give it all to get the movie copyright. The share of the movie box office is very important, and movie companies generally don't share it with others easily.

Hearing Lin Hao's words, J.K. Rowling was a little moved, especially the share of the movie box office later, which is the big part. Two "Harry Potter" movies have been broadcast. The first "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has a global box office of 974 million US dollars, and the second "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has a global box office of 878 million US dollars.

Of course, this is the global box office as of 2024. It is not so high now, but in 2001, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was officially put on the big screen, and the first box office was as high as 313 million US dollars, setting eight film history records such as more than 4,000 theaters around the world showing at the same time and the world's best-selling children's film.

This is already very remarkable. Although the first box office of the second "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is not as high as the first one, the difference is not much.

This is a very high box office in the history of global films, but it has nothing to do with her. As early as 1999, she sold the copyright of the first four films to Warner. After the first film was a box office hit, she signed contracts for the remaining films. Although she received a lot of copyright fees, the box office of the movies still had nothing to do with her.
