Chapter 461 Happy to Support Newcomers

"Boss, this is the sales data of "Harry Potter" books in January."

After the meeting, all the executives dispersed, leaving only Zhu Ke and Ms. Hassan in the huge conference room.

Ms. Hassan presented the report to Zhu Ke, and said, "Boss, thanks to the global box office performance of the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", the sales data for the entire month of January can be described as an explosion."

Data explosion?

"In just one month, the two books "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" sold 15 million copies, which is almost the result of our efforts in the previous year." Ms. Hassan sighed with excitement.

No way, the effect of movies on book sales is very obvious.

"so much?!"

Rao Zhu Ke was also shocked: "In other words, the cumulative global sales volume of the "Harry Potter" book series has reached nearly 40 million copies?"

"It's 42.3 million copies!" Ms. Hassan said excitedly: "Boss, I can't believe that its sales volume will be so amazing. Since I started my career, there are only a few books in the entire publishing industry that can achieve such an amazing performance."

She couldn't help it.

You know, for the entire "Harry Potter" series, the author Rowling is expected to have as many as 6 volumes, or even more.

From book sales, movies, TV series, animation, music, clothing, peripheral licensing, theme parks...

Undoubtedly, this is a huge gold mine!

"Boss, I suggest that when the filming of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" starts, the books of "Harry Potter 3" can be released. At that time, it will definitely be a big hit." Ms. Hassan said.

Zucker nodded.

In the future, the cumulative global sales of the entire Harry Potter series will exceed 500 million copies, second only to the Bible and Selected Works of Mao. Are you kidding me? !

In the following time, Zucker chatted a lot with Ms. Hassan.

Mainly focused on the copyright issues of bestsellers.

Um,

Film and television adaptation copyright.

Golden Dawn Publishing is backed by the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, and has a huge film and television entertainment publicity and promotion channel, which is a resource that many publishing houses cannot have. The film and television alone is enough to attract a large number of young authors to actively contribute.

Jinshuguang Publishing, the future can be expected!

Of course, the traditional publishing industry will definitely be impacted by the Internet in the future, especially the Internet. Even if the United States has a good foundation of paper books, it will be affected a lot. Otherwise, it will not be after 2010. There are so many publishing houses going out of business.

Transformation, not to mention imminent, is also the top priority of the company's future.

"The film and television copyright is the company's key work!" Zhu Kelang said.

In the end, before Zhu Ke left, he left the first volume of the "Hunger Games" trilogy, and asked her to arrange the publication, and at the same time handed it over to the company's editorial department to make a second revision and continue to write the following content.

"Who made me only have the content of the first book?"

 …

By the time Zhu Ke left Jin Shuguang Publishing, it was already 9 pm.

"Mr. Walder, please wait a moment."

Just after leaving the gate, there was a tall young man running towards Zhu Ke, but he was stopped by the security personnel beside Zhu Ke.

"Mr. Wald, my name is Zach Braff. I am a screenwriter and director. This is the script I wrote. Please correct me. I am very grateful. Please give me a chance~"

Although the young man was stopped by the security personnel, he still begged loudly.

"Hey!"

Zhu Ke sighed: "Jonathan, let him come over."

"Yes, boss." The security personnel agreed.

People who stopped Zhu Ke from recommending himself, since Zhu Ke became a well-known Hollywood film tycoon, this kind of thing happened frequently, too many.

To be honest, Zhu Ke knew it was a little annoying.

There are all kinds of rubbish scripts.

What's more, I wrote an outline of the script without even a detailed content. What purpose do these people have? To put it bluntly, it was a scam!

However, Zhu Ke is still willing to give these young people a chance.

What if you really encounter an excellent script?

It would be a real pity if you missed it!

Once the script that Zhu Ke missed was filmed by another film company and achieved a good box office performance, then for Zhu Ke, it would definitely be a beeping feeling.

In the original time and space, director James Wen (Wen Ziren), who took the script of "Chain Saw" co-written with his friends, went through several film companies, and just won the favor of Lionsgate Films. Sell.

In 1976, Stallone brought his self-written screenplay "Rocky" and negotiated with dozens of film companies, but no one bought it. an astonishing record.

Many companies scoffed, thinking that "Rocky" has no bright spots.

The results of it?

"Rocky" has achieved more than 100 million US dollars in North American box office results!

Man, it was 1976!

Its shocking performance is just like the big boat released in 1997, it is a world-class shock!

More than 230 film companies in Hollywood have received the script of "Rocky", but they all missed it without exception.

"Alas, I don't want to miss out on a good screenplay," Zucker often told himself.

not long...

Zhu Ke, who took over the script from the young man, couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise after reading it for a while.

- "Love in New Jersey"!

It's the name of the script.

The reason why he was surprised was because Zhu Ke had bought a pirated VCD of the film in his previous life.

This movie can be said to be the beginning of the 21st century Hollywood literary and youth movie. It has the elements that similar movies in the future should have, such as awkward interactions between men and women, extensive use of independent band songs as the soundtrack, and a gloomy atmosphere with a glimmer of sunshine... ...

At the same time, its box office performance is also very impressive.

The production cost was only US$2.5 million, and after its release in 2004, the box office market in the United States alone achieved a box office performance of more than US$35 million.

A rare low-cost high-grossing movie!

"Excuse me, what's your name?" Zhu Ke closed the script and looked at the young man who dared to intercept him.

He is 1.85 meters tall, wearing a display shirt and a khaki coat.

"My name is Zach! Zach Braff!" the young man responded excitedly.

Zhu Ke nodded, and said in his heart that it was true.

In the original time and space, Zach Braff is not only the screenwriter of the movie "Love in New Jersey", but also the director of this movie. At the same time, he also plays the role of the male number one.

I dare not say that it will be popular in the future, but in the United States, it is also a well-known existence, and there has been no shortage of olive branches from film companies.

Since Zhu Ke asked his name, he had already made a decision in his heart.

Movies such as "Spiderman" and "Harry Potter" are very good. First-line commercial productions can achieve high box office performance, but a film company also cannot lack other types of low-cost works, otherwise it can only rest on its laurels .

"Jonathan, give him Kevin Feige's number." Zhu Ke looked at Zach Braff and smiled.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Walder!" The young man was very excited.

The first update of "" is sent.
