When the Internet matures, the impact of the Internet on the traditional industry is everywhere, from the paper media to the traditional record store, from the means of propaganda to the social composition, it can almost be said that the entire society has undergone earth-shaking changes, among which, the pressure on the traditional paper publishing industry is undoubtedly in the forefront.

After entering, the sales of best-selling paper books fell sharply, and the situation of relying on the royalties of a single book twenty or thirty years ago has almost disappeared, and the number of authors who have become famous all over the world by relying on a single book has almost disappeared. Among them, the "" series, "" series, "" series, etc. led by the teenagers have created unparalleled industrial value, not only giving birth to a group of multimillionaire writers, but also achieving great success after these adaptations into movies, and then becoming popular with countless actors, forming a huge industrial chain, and becoming a part of the entertainment industry that cannot be ignored.

This teenage trend originated in the Harry Potter series, which began its fifteen-year journey of becoming popular around the world after the first book was published in 1997.

It would be a long, long list of the sales of the Harry Potter series, the box office of the film adaptation, and the influence of the series' actors, but there is no doubt that "Harry Potter" is one of the most successful teen franchises in the whole of the United Kingdom and the world, and has had an immeasurable impact on teenagers and adults all over the world.

j。 k。 Rowling, formerly known as Joanna Rowling, is the author of the Harry Potter series, a destitute single mother. Joanna Rowling created the "Harry Potter" series at the lowest point of her life, and the Dementors in it are a true portrayal of her mood at that time, but it is such a "homeless man" who needs to rely on political help to create this set that affects the world.

When Joanna Rowling published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the publisher was afraid that the book would not buy a book by a female author, considering that the book's target audience was young boys, so she used the abbreviation as a pen name. But since she didn't have a middle name, she chose the "K" of her grandmother "Kathleen" as the second abbreviated letter of her pen name, and so the "J" was born. k。 Rowling" is the author's name that has been popular all over the world for fifteen years.

Hugo really didn't expect that the gloomy woman in front of him who was struggling on the lifeline was actually J. k。 Rowling, first, because the name she used was too unfamiliar, and not everyone in later generations was familiar with it." k。 Rowling", but "Joanna", which almost no one has heard of; If Hugo is not mistaken, Joanna should have been born in 1965, that is, two years older than him, but at this time she looks like Hugo's mother, due to economic poverty and great mental pressure, Joanna at this time is almost relying on the last trace of vitality to support, naturally can not be compared with the public image of the later career spring breeze and radiant face.

So, Hugo really didn't recognize it. Even now, Hugo still can't believe that the woman in front of him is J. k。 Rowling. But judging from the current facts, it is not wrong.

October 1994 was the scariest time in Joanna Rowling's life. Shrouded in the shadow of her ex-husband's domestic violence, and finally kicked out of the house by her ex-husband, Joanna waited for her daughter to come to Edinburgh to join her sister, where she lived a tight life on government welfare. This low ebb period caused her to suffer from clinical depression, several suicide attempts, and her ex-husband's recent return to Edinburgh exacerbated her condition, and she had no choice but to apply to the court for a protective order.

It was during this time that Joanna created the first draft of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Hugo looked at Joanna Rowling, who was as old as a dead branch, and tried to ask, "Joanna......"

"Oh, please call Jo, it's only when someone else is angry." She interrupted Hugo's words and explained with a light smile that she could feel that her mood was noticeably calmer now.

"Joe, I'm Hugo." He didn't shy away from it, and said with a chuckle, "I mean, you have an idea, and you've done some work on and off, haven't you?" I think you should keep going, maybe you're already talented in it. ”

Joanna chuckled, "If talent were so easy to have, there wouldn't be so many losers in the world." ”

Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Some geniuses destroy themselves by themselves, while some geniuses need to go through countless tribulations before they shine." Hugo's words made Joanna jerk her head up, her eyes flashing with a glint of anticipation.

In fact, Joanna knew in her heart that Hugo was just a stranger, and he was just saying some big things to comfort herself, which had no practical meaning, but she just couldn't help but want to find hope from Hugo. Maybe it's because Hugo just saved herself, maybe it's because the smile on Hugo's face makes her feel reassured, maybe it's ...... It's just because she's desperate enough to need an affirmation for anyone, even if it's just a stranger.

Hugo saw Joanna's eyes, those eyes full of longing and anticipation, which felt familiar to him, like the look he had when he first made an arrangement. Hugo chuckled, he opened his mouth to give her an encouragement, but after thinking about it, he said, "Haven't you already started to create, although it is only a few intermittent fragments, which at least shows that you have always been enthusiastic about it." Many times, it is not always possible to succeed with enthusiasm, but it is difficult to continue without enthusiasm. After speaking, Hugo paused, "Do you have a draft now?" If so, I'd love to be a reader......"

Hugo tentatively said that he was actually a little curious, not only curious about whether Joanna Rowling in front of him was the author of "Harry Potter", but also curious about the first draft of "Harry Potter". Hugo remembers that Joanna once mentioned in an interview after becoming famous that in fact, she still had many settings for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" that were not written or changed, mainly because of depression, which made her forget many ideas in her mind, and some details were unrecognizable.

So, many people later became very interested in Joanna Rowling's original manuscript. Hugo, of course, was no exception.

Originally, Hugo thought that Joanna would refuse, after all, they were just strangers, but he didn't expect Joanna to hesitate slightly, and then bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Of course, it's written for the reader, isn't it?" It's an honor for me to have you take on this job. ”

In fact, Joanna is still not confident, she doesn't want her half-finished products to be shown to others, and this is also her last hope, she doesn't want to show it to strangers. But then Joanna convinced herself that without Hugo, all these manuscripts would be meaningless, so why should she bother with them. What's more, she is willing to believe in Hugo.

"If I'm not mistaken, you just mentioned that you're a major in classics." Once Joanna had made up her mind, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her expression, and she picked up a few coffee mats on the table and handed them to Hugo.

Hugo saw the coffee mat, and then saw the dense black font on it, and suddenly laughed with understanding, and then he took the coffee mat, put it in front of his eyes, and began to read roughly.

The fonts on the coffee mat are small, but they are all beautiful, and you can see that Joanna is really interested in writing. By the light in the coffee room, Hugo looked at the coffee mat in his hand with some difficulty, but he sighed a little, even reading is so difficult, let alone Joanna has to create on it.

This is indeed "Harry Potter", because Hugo saw the most familiar Golden Triangle, Harry, Hermione, and Ron, and also saw Muggles. Hugo couldn't help but look up at Joanna, he was sure that the woman in front of him who looked depressed and worried was J. k。 Rowling, but at this time, she looked at Hugo with an uneasy but expectant expression, her dry lips trembled slightly, and the constant blinking movement revealed the intricacies in her heart at the moment.

Hugo smiled at Joanna, soothed her a little, and then continued reading.

The original version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was very different from what Hugo remembered, or it should be that many things were missing, such as the Wesley twins, which Hugo did not see; For example, Quidditch, which was popular all over the world, has not been created now, and Hugo only saw the scattered ideas of Quidditch on the last coffee mat.

"Wow, I must say, I love it." Hugo looked at the six scattered coffee mats in his hand and sighed sincerely. This is not polite, let alone a disguise, but sincere, for an enthusiastic reader who has collected the entire "Harry Potter" series, to be able to read the author's own first draft, Hugo's inner turmoil is difficult to hold. Although there are many differences between this version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and the final version, the overall story structure is still the same, and there are many whimsical ideas, and it can be seen that Joanna is trying to breathe life into her imagination.

"You, are you serious?" Joanna looked at Hugo in disbelief, her eyes widened, and the excitement in her eyes flickered clearly, as if tears would well-up in the next second.

"Yes, of course." Hugo reluctantly flipped through the coffee mat in his hand again, full of emotion, "This is really a wonderful story, and if it can be published, it will definitely cause a sensation." At least, I'll love it. ”

Joanna just stared blankly at Hugo, letting her eyes fill with warm tears. Offer. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Kazakhstan to read it, and vote for the work, and vote for the monthly pass. Your support is the biggest motivation for me to continue creating! ).
