Climb to the top 1011 A little change
"&
Looking at Joanna with tears in front of him, Hugo sighed softly. He knew what it was like, and he clearly knew that when he finally showed the first light on the road of hard work, stumbling, and single-mindedly pursuing his dreams, when he was in a situation where darkness was the only color of life, he suddenly felt the warmth of the sun, and the taste of his heart was difficult to summarize in one word, which can only be said to be miscellaneous. All kinds of tastes came up together, causing the brain to pause for a moment, and before I realized myself, my emotions were out of control.
Hugo stood up with the coffee mat and sat down across from Joanna, he looked down at Jessica, who was sleeping peacefully in the stroller, and then put the coffee mat in his hand on the table and pushed it back to Joanna. Joanna's eyes fell on the coffee mat as Hugo's movements in a daze, and Hugo whispered, "Collect it, maybe these coffee mats will be priceless in the future." โ
One sentence made Joanna's whole person collapse, buried her head, covered her mouth with both hands, and a low whimper came out, although Hugo didn't see her expression, but from the slightly trembling thin shoulders, Joanna's excitement at this time could be seen. She needs such a catharsis, from the beginning of her decision to commit suicide to the present, she has never been cathartic, until now.
Hugo has seen many of them, and the author always likes to imagine his own world, and many of them like to plagiarize the Harry Potter series, whether because of his love or because of the great commercial success of the series. But at this time, Hugo looked at Joanna in front of him, but he was thinking about what a sad thing it would be if Joanna really lost the "Harry Potter" series, because this story is the only thing left by the hesitant and haggard woman in front of him.
Looking at the six simple and messy coffee mats on the table, the corners of Hugo's mouth were slightly outlined with a smile, if he remembered correctly, the first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" had a total of 1,000 copies printed, of which 500 became library collections, because the publisher was not sure that this set of books would achieve good sales, and they even suggested that Joanna continue to look for a job, they did not think that she could make money by writing books. But later, the value of the 1,000 first editions was as high as 16,000 to 25,000 pounds, and it became a treasure for countless people.
So, what about these six coffee mats in front of you? How much should it be worth? Maybe 100,000 dollars can't buy these six coffee mats, because what is recorded on them is not only a great idea, but also a dream that will never be extinguished, and the source of billions of market value in the future.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper." Joanna wiped the wolf bรจi from her face and glanced at Hugo with some restraint, only to find that Hugo's soft gaze fell on the sleeping Jessica. This made Joanna's heart warm, although it was just a simple action, Hugo's gentlemanly behavior could be perceived, and her embarrassment and embarrassment were avoided.
"So, you love the story." Joanna didn't mention her grief either, she wasn't ready to tell anyone else about her life, let alone a stranger.
Hugo looked back, smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm interested in Quidditch, you're just working on a prototype right now, but it's a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to what you'll look like when you're perfected." Although Hugo was only smiling, the excitement and excitement between his eyebrows clearly interpreted the content of his words.
This made Joanna chuckle and not want to let her nose come out, which made her pick up a tissue and wipe it in embarrassment, "That at least shows that I can have a reader." After packing up his wolf bรจi, he looked up at Hugo again, "I was still worried that no one would like books on this theme, and the publisher would not be willing to publish them, but now it seems that ...... I should put these issues aside for a moment and concentrate on writing my thoughts out. After all, you're a professional reader majoring in classics, right? โ
Joanna is saying that classics students are bound to have read many classics, and that they still have a crush on her in this context, which is indeed a positive sign.
Hugo chuckled, "Isn't it out of place to discuss the differences between classical, modern, and children's literature with you?" Hugo's teasing made Joanna open her mouth and burst out laughing. It's been a long time since that bright look.
Looking at Joanna in front of him, Hugo remembered the publishing process of the "Harry Potter" series. In fact, it is true that no one is optimistic about the "Harry Potter" series, and Joanna submitted articles to 12 publishing houses, all of which were rejected, and everyone thought that no one bought it. Eventually, a London publishing house took a fancy to the book, but it was not the editor-in-chief, but the eight-year-old daughter of the publisher's owner, who read the first chapter, and immediately asked her father about the follow-up, which led to the publisher's decision to publish it.
A thousand, just a thousand. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" brought Joanna Rowling the first manuscript fee of just 1,500 pounds.
But Hugo clearly knew how much value this collection had created. Now, Hugo also clearly felt what this set meant to Joanna Rowling, and if he could reach out to help Joanna, Hugo would not mind at all. What's more, if you can help with this, you can also help your own company to forge ahead into an elite brokerage company, then why not?
Thinking of this, Hugo said, "Joe, I don't know much about your situation, and I'm not sure what you'll be like in the end, but if you'd like, I'll give you some help." โ
Hugo hesitated after saying this, he originally wanted to contact Endeavour Elite Agency to see if Rick Rosen could help her, but then he thought about it, if Joanna left rainy Edinburgh, would she be able to write the essence of Hogwarts in place? The sunshine in the state is not Harry Potter style.
Joanna was also stunned, she raised her head to look at Hugo, with a hesitant expression: Hugo helped? How can I help? Suddenly, Joanna remembered that she only knew Hugo's name, and she didn't know anything about Hugo, could it be that Hugo worked in a publishing house?
If anyone knew what Joanna was thinking at this time, they would probably roll their eyes. Although Hugo's popularity in Europe is not as good as that in the United States, ""and" is still very popular in Europe, so Hugo's recognition is not low.
However, considering Joanna's recent situation, she has been anxious about family matters in the past year or two, so she naturally has no time to learn about movies and music. Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that she does not know Hugo.
The thought flashed through at this moment, and Hugo quickly reacted, "I mean, I know the brokerage company, you know, they can match you up, and they can also contact some friends of the bailout foundation for you to see if you can get some help from the fund." โ
After Hugo finished speaking, he took out his backpack and rummaged through it, trying to find Rick Rosen's business card, but after rummaging through it, he actually found his business card in the business card holder. Hugo took it out in amazement, he never knew he still had a business card, presumably Joseph put it in.
The name written on the business card is "General Manager of Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company", Hugo couldn't help but pouted and smiled, how did he not know that the company still had the position of "General Manager", but he still handed over the business card, "To be honest, I'm not sure if this phone number can contact me, but I'm pretty sure that this phone number can contact our company." Hugo looked at the phone number, it was not from home, then it should be the company phone.
But Joanna looked at Hugo with a stunned expression, not knowing whether she should accept this business card, because Hugo's words sounded too weird. Hugo seemed to react as well, chuckling, "Look, that's how it is. I'm not an agent, I'm not an editor, in fact, I'm an artist, it's my agency, and they also do publishing, so I guess they should be able to help you. โ
"Entertainer?" Joanna looked at Hugo in bewilderment, she looked at Hugo seriously, and said hesitantly, "At least you seem to have the capital." "It's a compliment to Hugo's appearance.
Hugo chuckled, "I'll take that as a compliment." "Hugo didn't notice that Joanna didn't know herself, because that's what this backpacking trip was all about." I know you're not so sure, but I guess a phone call doesn't hurt if you will. โ
If Joanna had really called Endeavour Elite Agency, Hugo would have asked Rick to sign Joanna. In this way, Endeavor Elite Agency can control the publishing initiative of "Harry Potter", which is a little change for the company and Joanna, a very important change. I just don't know how much impact this change will have in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is that Hugo is not sure whether Joanna is willing to make this call, after all, his words are not very convincing.
Joanna pinched the business card in her hand and looked at it seriously, this thin piece of paper had an incomparably heavy weight, and then she realized that maybe her life was going to change drastically because of Hugo today, but she was not sure how turbulent and huge this change was, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Joanna looked up, "So, are you...... Uh, I mean, are you an actor or a singer? Or ......"
"Does it matter? The most important thing is that you don't know me like that, do you? Hugo's ridicule made Joanna laugh. (To be continued (Dian Dian Chinese Paper) provides.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation).
