"Mr. Rowan, is this for a friend?"
There weren't too many people lining up so I had time to sign more.
For the sake of the handsome guy, JK Rowling was happy to spend a little more time.
Rowan smiled and said, "I like to read it myself, but this new book is really for a friend. Her name is Scarlett, a 13-year-old girl. Can you wish her to be as smart as Miss Know-It-All?"
"sure."
JK Rowling signed a blessing message on the title page of the new book Rowan bought.
Rowan took out another one and said, "Just sign your name on this one."
"By the way, Ms. Rowling, there are sev en grades at Hogwarts, so there will be sev en Harry Potter books?"
"Maybe."
Signing on the title page, JK Rowling smiled with a hint of confusion.
She actually doesn't know how many books she will write.
After Bloomsbury published Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, it received good reviews from newspapers such as The Scotsman and The Herald, but sales have not improved.
Bloomsbury initially paid her an advance of £2,500, and the same amount was paid for the next two months.
Her life is better than before and she can concentrate on writing, but there has been no substantial improvement.
Who knows if the next book won't sell and you won't even get a pound in royalties?
She spent several years working on this book.
Because the publishing house said the title sounded like a book for a boy, and they thought boys preferred books written by male authors, she changed her pen name to the relatively neutral JK Rowling.
After paying so much, the result is wor se than just working.
This is such a torturous mentality.
Although the publishing house said that it would participate in the National Book Award and the Nestlé Smart Book Award, and that sales would be greatly improved if it could win the gold medal in the children's group aged 9 to 11, that would be a month later.
Right now, JK Rowling has not yet decided on the future path.
Rowan had a very clear understanding of the psychological activities of women around the age of thirty.
As soon as he saw JK Rowling's expression, he knew what was going on.
"After the book signing, could I buy you a cup of coffee?"
Rowan lowered his sunglasses and smiled: "Let's talk about Harry Potter together."
JK Rowling agreed with great enthusiasm.
An hour later, the female author put on makeup and went to the appointment. She was not sure whether she was disappointed or happy to find that Rowan was really only interested in "Harry Potter" and had no other ideas.
But Rowan didn't think too much, they are not desti ned to be together. His face is only suitable for young women like Scarlett. Charlize Theron and Monica are also good, but Rowling should forget it... Rowan introduced himself with a smile and said, "Regarding the copyrght of "Harry Potter", do you want to sell it?"
"I am sorry you want buy the copyright of "Harry Potter"?" Rowling asked in surprise.
"Yes, I liked the book a lot and although there are some inconsistency here and there overall it's a good fantasy book and I want to help you bring this story on the silver screen." Rowan stated
"I-I am happy that you think so highly of my book." Rowling said after she controlled her emotions
"I know you think I am just some actor who have only invested in my own movies but I am also and author you may have heard about my two books "Kung Fu Panda" and "Shrek" both of which are on New York's best seller list and DreamWorks is already started the production of Kung Fu Panda and they paid me 1 million dollars+7% world wide box office it's rights." Rowan dragged
"What!?" Rowling exclaimed in surprise "You are that Rowan Stark! I thought it was just someone with the same name."
Rowan smiled and the two continued to talk for another half an hour but Rowan didn't give her a price for now as he knew that until she makes up her mind any offer he gives right now will be rejected.
Although she has not seen much of the market and is just a failed new author, JK Rowling is very ambitious.
Rowan was not worried because the sales of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" were there, it was a pure flop.
Not to mention the failure of the book, even if it was a bestseller, based on his understanding of the European film industry, Europe has never been very keen on the adaptation rights of such fantasy books.
It's hard to say about America, but Hollywood only pursues success, and it's difficult to catch the eyes of Hollywood bosses unless your book is a bestseller.
The book "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is not easy to buy in England, so how could it be noticed by Hollywood?
It will take a few years, and once the cumulative sales exceed several hundred th ousand copies, it might be discovered by Hollywood.
Even if something unexpected happen ed, Leonhard would not be afraid.
The conditions he offered to JK Rowling would definitely be better than those off ered by the big Hollywood studios.
It's not that he is good, but that the big Hollywood studios are worse than him.
Purely comparing the worst, Rowan is very confident that it is better than the big manufacturers.
After the disintegration of Russia, American capital has become accustomed to being self-righteous, and what it likes to do most is to ride the wind and waves.
If you feel that you have a great advantage and a sense of superiority, they will try their best to lower the conditions.
According to normal situation, he could buy all the copyrights of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" for about US$100,000.
It's not as high as those sky-high priced IPs, but it's not low for a newcomer like JK Rowling.
However, "Harry Potter" is a series of books. If you want to buy all seven possible series, the price may inflate to $1 million.
Given JK Rowling's ambition, it is unlikely that she would sell all of them at once, that's why he told her the price he sold King Fu Panda for. Rowan believed that if he gave her the same price plus a little more Rowling will give in and sell all of them to him.
But it's not important right now. We'll figure it out when the time comes.
It just so happens that the funds are still making money. If the plan goes well, this little money will be nothing.
Rowan bought all the things and boarded a plane to Los Angeles with his bags.
Jet lag, gift giving, and gift receiving-the script for American Pie.
Rowan flipped through the script and exclaimed: "This script is great. It even has storyboards. You are really great Professor Peter"
"Thanks, I've written the script for you, when do you plan to shoot it?" Peter asked
Rowan said, "I'm going to find a low- cost practitioner first."
"Do you plan to shoot a documentary first, as taught in class?"
"That's not necessary."
Having gone through the baptism of m any crews and having super powers, Rowan has no intention of taking his time in de velopment.
He said, "I think the idea of 'This Man From Earth' that you mentioned is very suitable for a novice like me to shoot."
Peter reminded: "It's just an idea now, there's nothing in the script."
Rowan shrugged: "That's great, let's discuss and create together." After all it's not like he didn't know about this story, after Mary find him about it he remembered that there was a movie made at a low budget with the same name and it was released directly in the videotape market and did really good.
"A screenwriter is like a writer. A writer cannot write just because he has inspiration, just like a escort girl cannot receive customers just because she has desires."
"...a very unique metaphor."
"Since you have decided, I will contact them."
Peter picked up his phone and made a call.
A few minutes later, he hung up the phone and said, "It's for this Saturday, when he will be in better condition."
