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

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

Ms. Hassan presented the report to Zhuke and said, "Boss, thanks to the global box office performance of the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone movie, the sales data for the whole month were explosive."

Data explosion?

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

There is no way, the role of movies in selling books is very obvious.

"so much?!"

Even Zhu Ke was shocked: "In other words, the global cumulative sales of the Harry Potter book series have been nearly 40 million copies?"

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

She couldn't help but feel in love.

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

From book sales, movies, TV series, animation, music, costumes, peripherals, theme parks...

Undoubtedly, this is a huge gold mine!

"Boss, I suggest that when the filming of "Harry Potter and the Room of Secret" starts, you can take advantage of the situation to release the book novels of "Harry Potter 3". By then, there will definitely be another big sale." Ms. Hassan said.

Zucker nodded.

In the future, the entire Harry Potter series of novels, with the sales of genuine books alone, will exceed 500 million copies worldwide, second only to the Bible and the Mao Selection. Isn’t it a joke?!

In the following time, Zhuke and Ms. Hassan talked a lot.

It mainly focuses on the copyright issues of bestsellers.

Well, the film and television adaptation rights of the novel.

Jin Shuguang Publishing is backed by Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group and has a huge film and television entertainment promotion and promotion channels. This is a resource that many publishers cannot have. The film and televisionization of novels alone is enough to attract a large number of young authors to actively contribute.

Published by Jin Shuguang, the future is promising!

Of course, the traditional publishing industry will definitely be impacted by the Internet in the future, especially online novels. Even if the whole United States has a good foundation for reading paper books, it will be affected a lot. Otherwise, there would not be so many publishing houses going bankrupt after 2010.

Transformation is not only imminent, but also the top priority for the company in the future.

"The film and television copyright of the novel is the company's key task!" Zhukron said.

Finally, before leaving, Zhuke left behind the first volume of the Hunger Games trilogy novel, asking her to arrange the publication matters, and at the same time handed over to the company's editorial department to revise it a second time and continue the subsequent content.

"Who made me have only the contents of the first volume?"

.........

When Zucker left Jin Shuguang to publish, it was already 9 pm.

"Mr. Wald, please wait."

As soon as he left the door, a tall young man ran towards Zhuke, but he was stopped by the security guard beside Zhuke.

"Mr. Wald, my name is Zach Bluff. I am a screenwriter and director. This is my screenwriter's script. Please correct me and I am grateful. Please give me a chance~"

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

"Why!"

Zhuke sighed: "Johnnerson, please let him come over."

"Yes, boss." The security officer responded.

Stop Zucker's person who wants to recommend himself. Since Zucker became a famous Hollywood movie tycoon, this kind of thing has happened, too many.

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

There are all kinds of junk scripts.

Some people even wrote a script outline without even a detailed content. What purpose are these people holding? To put it bluntly, they just came from cheating money!

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

What if you really encounter an excellent script?

If you miss it, it would be a pity!

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

In the original time and space, director James Wen (Wen Ziren), who brought the script "Saw" written with his friends, went to several film companies and won the favor of Lionsgate Pictures, became famous in one fell swoop, and sold well at the box office.

In 1976, Stallone brought his own film script "Rocky" to negotiate with dozens of film companies, but no one bought it. At the same time, he also set an astonishing record for the number of scripts sent to film companies alone.

Many companies scoffed at it, believing that Rocky has no highlights.

What's the result?

"Rocky" achieved a box office record of more than $100 million in North America!

Man, that was in 1976!

Its shocking performance is like the release of the ship in 1997, which is a world-class shock!

More than 230 film companies in Hollywood have received scripts for "Rocky", but they missed them without exception.

"Alas, I don't want to miss a good movie script." Zhuke often warned himself.

Not long...

Zhuke, who took the script from the young man, couldn't help but make a sound of surprise after watching it for a while.

——"Love Returns to New Jersey"!

It's the name of this script.

The reason for being surprised is that in the last life, Zucker had purchased a pirated vcd of the film.

This movie can be said to be the beginning of the Hollywood literary youth film in the 21st century. It has the elements that similar movies should have in the future, the awkward interaction between men and women, the use of independent band songs as soundtracks, and a hint of sunshine flashes in the depression......

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

The production cost was only $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 $35 million.

A rare low-cost high-box movie!

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

A tall man at 1.85 meters was wearing a furnishing shirt and a khaki coat.

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

Zhuke nodded and said to himself.

In the original time and space, Zach Bluff is not only the screenwriter of the movie "Love Returns to New Jersey", but also the director of the movie. At the same time, he also plays the role of the male lead.

He dare not say that he is very popular in the future, but he is also a well-known existence in the United States and has always been unable to lack olive branches from film companies.

When Zucker asked him about his name, he had already made a decision.

Movies such as "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" are very good. First-line commercial productions can achieve high box office performances, but a film company cannot lack other types of low-cost works, otherwise it will only be self-satisfied.

"Johnarson, give him Kevin Feige's phone call." Zucker smiled at Zach Bluff.

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