Rebirth of the Great Heavenly King

Chapter 494 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'

On February 24, "The World of Truman" officially kicked off its release in North America.

Li Chencan also officially came to North America.

After Li Chencan came to North America, he and Zhong Bufan lived in Los Angeles. Their temporary work was to carry out some follow-up promotions on "The World of Truman".

But now they only have two people, so they can only cooperate with the American distribution company of "Trumen's World" to promote it. The connections here are gradually being established.

The United States is a country with great similarities to its previous life, but it is different.

The total amount of resources in this world remains unchanged, so it is hard to say that you create resources. Everyone is more about sharing the cake...

Therefore, because this time and space have the rise of China, the United States is naturally not as powerful as another time and space... But even so, it is definitely not something other countries can match.

Los Angeles is not much different from the memories in my previous life...

Hollywood, Avenue of Fame, Lakers...

But many people have some differences.

In this time and space, the development of Hollywood's film industry lacks the rich resources that can dominate and dominate the world. Its development is not as good as another time and space. There is some gap between the assembly line products of the film industry and another time and space.

It is technology that maintains the level of another time and space, such as particle special effects, IMAX3D, 4K digital photography, etc., which are all technically leading, but there is some gap between the concept of movies and other time and space.

On February 24, "Trumen's World" officially premiered here. Many Americans walked into the cinema with the goal of replacing the tickets for "Saving Private Ryan". However, after walking to the cinema, they were filmed.

Conquered.

The plot expressed by the movie and the emotions conveyed to everyone make everyone feel that the feelings in their hearts should last for a long time when everyone walks out of the cinema.

When "Trumen's World" was released in March, the box office in North America had exceeded 20 million US dollars, which was over 100 million RMB, which was a very impressive number.

"The World of Truman" opened the prelude to North America, and at the end of February, it also began to occupy the top spot in the North American box office.

After all, it is not a good schedule recently, and it is not difficult for "Trumen's World" to be the first place.

It is on the top of the box office list. This is a virtuous cycle that will keep the box office of "Trumen's World" going to be overturned.

"It's another publishing house that has rejected the manuscript." At this time, Zhong Bufan said to Li Chencan with some helplessness.

When Li Chencan heard this, he shrugged his shoulders, and there was no sign of depression on his face.

"Try it again." Li Chencan said to Zhong Bufan: "The current situation... no matter what, we have to be patient."

"I understand." Zhong Bufan nodded, but his face was a little weak.

Li Chencan checked this manuscript on the computer. This novel is "Harry Potter". Although Li Chencan could record all the English novels he read at that time, he didn't read many... After all, this is an English novel.

He can't see too much either.

"Harry Potter" was carefully selected by him.

In Li Chencan's memory bank, "Harry Potter" is called children's literature by many people, but in fact, this novel is relaxed and interesting, otherwise it would not have been so popular. A total of seven novels have been translated into

67 languages, with a total sales volume of more than 500 million copies in all versions, ranking among the best-selling novels in the world...

Five hundred million books!

What is the concept?

Li Chencan first copied this novel, and then slowly made other novels. There were only a few English novels he had read, but each one had the power to sensation the world.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Chencan is coming to the United States... If a novel like "Harry Potter" is translated into Chinese and published...it would be strange if it will be a best-seller. The cultural background is different, and it is really great to find common ground.

Disaster.

After "Harry Potter", Lee Chencan also prepared other novels, but now we will start with this one - after all, he can't write "The Lord of the Rings" and then write "Harry Potter" again? Then everyone will definitely

I will feel that his level has dropped.

Although "Harry Potter" is also a best-selling article, its sales may be higher than "The Lord of the Rings". However, it is not completely unreasonable to be called children's literature by some people, while "The Lord of the Rings" is loved by people aged 15-50.

The novel I read, a huge, rigorous and complete worldview set in it is incomparable to "Harry Potter".

However, when he was really looking for the Harry Potter publisher, Li Chencan now faces a situation that is even more severe than Rowling in the original work. When he started looking for the publisher, he saw dew in front of him.

Many publishers do not intend to ask for the book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". The few publishers they want to use Li Chencan's name to hype it up. After all, Li Chencan is also famous now... but they gave it

The treatment is either too low or the publishing house is too bad and there is no suitable one.

Li Chencan is also a little worried now. If the publishing house is not good, it is not impossible for this book to be buried.

Just now, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was rejected by a relatively famous publishing house, so Zhong Bufan came to find Li Chencan...

Li Chencan was indeed a little helpless. Sure enough, this novel was not very popular at the beginning... What's more, it was a Chinese work?

"However, the James from Huoshi Publishing House contacted me again." Zhong Bufan said to Li Chencan: "They are still willing to give you a more generous price."

Li Chencan shook his head: "They are okay...but I still want to find a better publishing house for this book." This is the truth. Li Chencan is worried that the almost publishing society will bury "Harry Potter", so he only

This is possible.

"Look for it again... I won't believe it."

After Li Chencan said this, James from the Firestone Publishing House came over again, and this guy still came directly to find Li Chencan.

"Mr. Li, you know, maybe the conditions of our publishing house are not particularly good, but we believe in you and hope you can trust us." James' words were very sincere.

Through Zhong Bufan, Li Chencan also knew that James was so keen on finding himself...

Not only is Hurtstone Publishing House a not-so-good publishing house, they are also facing great risks now, with insufficient funds and insufficient vitality, and are basically close to the brink of bankruptcy.

James founded this publishing house, but now he has to face such an ending, and of course he is unwilling to do so.

"Mr. Bourne, to be honest, I don't quite understand the source of your confidence in me." Li Chencan said to him.

James Bourne continued: "Because I have seen your achievements in your country, and I have also carefully studied the book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", I think it's very likely that this book will be

It's prosperous."

...After a conversation, Li Chencan had to decide to reject him temporarily, thinking that Neihuoshi Publishing House did not release "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" now and made it prosperous.

"Okay, Mr. Lee, I believe we will have other opportunities to cooperate." James Bourne shook hands with Lee Chencan.

Li Chencan also smiled: "There will be something, Mr. Bourne."

This is how this time and space are. Americans are even a little afraid of the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, but they maintain absolute respect on the surface.

This is different from the other time and space...

In addition to that time and space, Li Chencan saw people from European and American countries when he was in Europe and America. They had no good face toward the Chinese... That feeling was that he had a natural sense of superiority, and could feel superior in front of you.

It feels like he may not really beat you or something, but the mental contusion may be more serious than this, unless you can bring them benefits, but this time and space will not be like that.

In this way, they can only continue to look for other publishing houses.

When the cumulative box office of "Trumen's World" in North America exceeded 50 million US dollars, Li Chencan and the people from Principal Publishing House finally contacted him.

Pulin Publishing House is one of the top ten publishers in North America. It has published many best-selling books and the publishing house’s royalties are also quite generous.

The person in charge of Li Chencan's book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is named Roman. He is an authentic white American. He is also polite to Li Chencan on the surface, but he has a little bit of it in his bones.

Distrust: "We can pay $200,000 in royalties to this book, Mr. Li, what do you think? As you know, we hope to avoid risks now."

Of course, Li Chencan could feel the characteristics of this guy, that is, discussing this book in an official manner.

Pulin Publishing House still saw the potential of this book, and also focused on Li Chencan, a guy with legendary experience in China, his new book is also worth hyping...

"There is no problem with US$200,000, but you must guarantee the conditions I have put forward." Li Chencan said bluntly.

The condition he wants is to have enough publicity, and at the same time, he wants to ensure that the copyright of "Harry Potter" can be changed. For example, Principal Publishing House only owns the publication rights of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

There is no copyright to this book.

Of course he knew that this book was very valuable and could not just get the copyright over.

"I have to say that your conditions are a bit high. If you have to guarantee the independent copyright of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", then we need to lower your royalties." Roman's smile was a little stiff.
