Chapter 698 The Mole’s Story
"I believe you will be more successful!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Even if there is no copyright income from the film market, the success of the book alone is enough to make JK Rowling a billionaire.
After all, "Harry Potter" is the best-selling book of the 21st century. It has sold more than 500 million copies worldwide. This is an extremely astonishing number.
In the West, a book is very expensive. The price of a complete set, Qin Feng remembered that it had been reported by the media that the price in the West was US$136.
The price of a single copy is about US$28, and the simplified version, or the simplified version after the complete set is released, also costs US$9.99.
Even if it is calculated at 10 US dollars a book, global sales exceed 5 billion US dollars. As an author, JK Rowling can get at least about 15% of the royalties.
Of course, if "Harry Potter" is so successful, JK Rowling should be able to get a larger proportion of the royalties.
After all, this is a well-known author. In this way, even if calculated at 15%, book sales of 5 billion US dollars would be at least 750 million US dollars.
In fact, there are also income from peripheral products, reprint royalties, conversion into comics, etc. Its revenue, Qin Feng estimates, will still exceed US$1 billion.
So, she will be really rich.
"Remember to come see me when you have time!" jk-Luo Lin personally drove Qin Feng to the airport.
"I will! See you next time!" Qin Feng smiled and got on the plane and flew directly to Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
Regarding Prague, what Qin Feng knows still comes from a song by Jay Chou: Prague Square.
As for the rest, the most famous is its football player: Pavel Nedved.
Coming to the streets of Prague in 1997, the scene here was similar to the scene that later generations saw when Nedvěd was introduced on television.
Western society has not changed much in almost the past few decades. Everything is the same as before. After all, they have all gone through the initial stage of social development, unlike China, which is full of waste and waiting for development.
Just after arriving in Prague, Qin Feng started to have a headache. How to see if there are any heavy industries that can be acquired?
After all, I am not familiar with this place.
When Qin Feng had a headache, he had to find a bar to sit down and enjoy the good time in Prague Square first.
This also made Qin Feng discover that the Czechs are also a people who love beer very much. It is said that Germans like beer, and Qin Feng seems to be no less generous when accepting guests.
On this street, no one drinks drinks, they all drink large amounts of beer.
"La la la~~~ la la la~~~ la la la~~" Qin Feng was drinking beer while humming the song Jay Chou Prague Square.
This feeling is pretty good.
"Hi, young man!" An old man came over suddenly.
Qin Feng was stunned and quickly stood up.
"Old sir, what's the matter with you?" Qin Feng greeted.
This old gentleman is probably in his seventies or eighty, but his body is still strong.
However, Qin Feng doesn’t know him.
"Are you Chinese?" the old man asked.
Qin Feng nodded.
In today's Czech Republic, Qin Feng looked at the streets and found that he was the only one with yellow skin and black hair. There are very few people from Asia here.
"Haha, China is a very ancient civilized country. At the beginning, during the anti-Japanese movement, I also met a Chinese friend. But I don't know how he is now. He later said that he would return to the country to join the war and protect his family. Defend the country." The old man fell into memories.
Qin Feng called the waiter and handed the old man a glass of beer.
"Haha, I haven't drank beer for a long time. Those people didn't let me drink it, saying it was bad for my health. In fact, I am already 76 years old this year. One more glass of beer will shorten my life. It’s nothing!” the old man said with a smile.
Qin Feng smiled.
"It's great!" The old man took a sip of beer with a satisfied look on his face.
"Young man, thank you for the beer. I won't drink your beer for free, so I'll give you a small souvenir!" He said,
The old man took out a small doll from his pocket.
"Mole!" Qin Feng took it and smiled in surprise.
"Do you know him?" the old man asked.
Qin Feng nodded.
"I've seen cartoons since I was a kid! The cute little mole is particularly popular in China!" Qin Feng sighed.
"The Mole's Tale" was once popular all over the country, and it was one of the best memories of my childhood. Its popularity is comparable to "Black Cat Sheriff", "The Adventures of the Sloppy King" and "Calabash Baby".
To this day, some TV stations occasionally rebroadcast it.
"Do you have them in China too?" The old man showed a surprised expression, "Haha, I wonder if that old friend saw it!"
"Uh, may I ask, do you have anything to do with this mole?" Qin Feng looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.
"Haha, let me introduce myself. My name is Zdenek Mirel, the author of "The Mole's Story"!" The old man smiled proudly.
ah! Qin Feng was extremely surprised.
This really surprised Qin Feng. Unexpectedly, I would meet the original author.
At this moment, admiration arose spontaneously.
"Do you know why I created "The Mole's Story" in the first place?" Zdenekmirel asked with a smile.
Qin Feng didn't know, but then he ordered another beer for the old man.
Obviously, there is a story.
"At first, I met that Chinese friend who was working in a mining company in the Czech Republic. He was as gray and gray as a mole all day long. But he was very optimistic and was everyone's pistachio. Everyone liked him very much. Later, he He said he wanted to return to China to save the Chinese people, so he left. After leaving, he never came back. By chance one day, when everyone was having a gathering and drinking, they were talking about him, and I was inspired to write "The Mole's Story"." Denekmirer lamented.
Qin Feng heard this and was speechless for a long time. This, I didn't expect to have such a relationship with China. This is really beyond everyone's expectation.
This is really unbelievable.
Later, Qin Feng asked about his name to see if he was a celebrity. Unfortunately, the name the old man said was very ordinary. No impression at all.
Obviously, it may have been lost in the long river of history. After all, in those decades and turbulent years, countless people lost their lives.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you like "The Mole's Story" so much, are you interested in visiting my studio?" Zdenekmirel invited.
Qin Feng has no clue now, so he just wants to go visit it. This is his childhood wish.
Soon, Qin Feng came to Zdenekmirer's studio. Of course, no construction has been started here for a long time, but it is already spotless. There are still various scene drawings and scene props from the past placed inside.
If this place is opened to the outside world, Qin Feng believes that many tourists will come here for sightseeing.
After all, The Mole's Tale is extremely popular.
"By the way, did you come to the Czech Republic to study or travel?" Zdenekmirel asked curiously.
