Chapter 852: I'm a Big Fan
"Mr. Jia, it's a pleasure for us to meet again, my gratitude to you is really beyond words!" Seeing Boss Jia again, JK Rowling can almost be described as grateful.
However, this is not surprising, because with Harry Potter reaching the top of the best-selling list in the UK, Harry Potter has sold 50,000 copies in three months.
Don't think it's a small amount, you must know that in this era of Britain, it is an unprecedented miracle that a children's literature book can sell this sales in the last 20 years.
The sales of 50,000 copies also brought J. J. Rowling 200,000 pounds of manuscript fee income, plus the signing fee given by Boss Jia, which not only allowed JK to get rid of the previous embarrassing life, but also allowed JK Rowling to buy a house in London, buy a villa in the suburbs of his hometown, and send several of his children to top private schools, so that JK Rowling's life has changed completely.
And now, "Harry Potter" is going to be released in the United States, if "Harry Potter" can have half the miracle of the United Kingdom in the United States, no, even if it is only 14, it can achieve 10 times the sales of the United Kingdom, and JK Rowling can really make crazy money.
And Boss Jia also gave JK Rowling the right to receive continuous income, and JK Rowling can get 50% of the remuneration brought by the Harry Potter series in the future.
As for derivatives such as movies or anime, she can also get a 3% profit share.
[What I wrote before is that JK Rowling only gets 20% of the remuneration, in this case, I feel that JK Rowling will definitely make a moth out in the future, so I changed it to the above version, but the signing fee for each book has been reduced from $1 million to $100,000]
How do you say JK Rowling doesn't appreciate our Jia boss right now...... After all, Boss Jia has bought out all the copyrights of the "Harry Potter" series in the next 50 years, as well as the derivative works of the world view of "Harry Potter", etc., all cultural copyrights, if JK Rowling dares to have the slightest disrespect for Boss Jia, Boss Jia will directly kick JK Rowling away, and then find a Chinese online writer to write a "Harry Potter Ten Series".
Believe it or not, an online writer usually doesn't write much worse than J.K. Rowling.
"Where, where!" Boss Jia said with a smile, talking and laughing with JK Rowling for a while, Boss Jia cut to the chase and said, "I have read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone several times, and I have also read the draft of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets a few times, and I am also a big fan of yours!" So I have some questions about the plot, and I hope to get your answers! β
"Mr. Jia said he was laughing!" JK Rowling smiled, "Actually, I also write where I think, where I think, I haven't thought about how to deal with a lot of foreshadowing for the time being, and some questions I may really not be able to answer you." But I promise, as long as I've already thought about it, I'll give you an answer, even if it's spoilers! βγ
"Hahaha,It's not related to spoilers.,I think it's better for me to wait for the plot to be written.,I'm just a little curious about the worldview of this book.,Whether it's a philosopher's stone or a secret room.,It only describes the wizarding world of Britain.,So in other countries,Is there no magic and wizards?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"Of course there is, otherwise the world would be unreasonable!" JK Rowling suddenly became extremely happy when she heard that Boss Jia really talked to her about the specific content of the worldview.
In fact, although the two chatted happily before, they were basically some clichΓ©s and nonsense, but when Boss Jia and JK Rowling talked about their worldview, JK Rowling confirmed that Boss Jia really looked at himself, and he watched it very carefully and seriously, otherwise there would not be such a question, which is not a question that die-hard fans can't have.

After discovering that his boss really values and loves him, JK Rowling immediately burst out with 120,000 enthusiasm and explained to Boss Jia, "In my imagination, the wizarding society exists all over the world, and unlike all the countries in the real world that are full of wars, the wizarding society is relatively united, but there is no war, and there is an organization with certain rights to unify and restrain wizards around the world." β
"Of course, each country itself will also have its own magical administrative unit, the wizards in Britain are directly under the control of the Ministry of Magic, and the United States is under the control of the Magic Council, in fact, the whole of Europe is basically under the control of the Ministry of Magic, but each country has its own branches, some countries with historical origins, can control multiple countries with a Ministry of Magic, as for other countries, they have their own systems, and finally all the magic administrative institutions are unified under the control of the World Magic Council!" J.K. Rowling briefly describes her vision of the administrative power of the entire wizarding world.
Of course, because JK Rowling only wrote two Harry Potter books at this time, many of the settings are not perfect, and the specific content will sound like there is a certain gap with the final magical world in the future.
"And in my vision, there is not just one school of magic in the world, in Europe, such as France, Germany, and Russia, they should all have their own magic school. Secretly give you a spoiler, in a certain Harry Potter book in the future, it describes the plot of a fierce competition between the colleges of several countries! J.K. Rowling said, and her eyes lit up, immersed in the world she had designed.
"Well, that's a great idea!" Boss Jia praised, making JK Rowling's face smile like a flower, and then Boss Jia continued, "Then I want to know, how did you design the magical society in Huaxia?" You know, I'm a Chinese and I'm very curious about these! β
"This ......" JK Rowling, who was still talking about it just now, suddenly got stuck.
J.K. Rowling studied French and classics in college, so she writes about the wizarding world. But if you let him understand the classical society and cultivation system of Huaxia, it will be a bit difficult for a strong man.
"I think the wizards of Huaxia may have formed a party with a high degree of organization and control, and then come to manage the wizards of the entire Huaxia!" JK Rowling began to create on the spot, but Boss Jia only frowned.
Isn't this just a traditional impression of the Chinese by some Westerners and then added to the wizarding world, which is just a bunch of shit!
"It's good, but it's just a little different from the Huaxia magic society I imagined!" Boss Jia interrupted JK Rowling's words with a smile, and then JK Rowling also said with relief, "It turns out that Mr. Jia already has an idea, so I don't know how you designed it?" β
"Actually, this is also one of my purposes today, I spent a few months of time and energy, designed a somewhat simple system of Chinese magical society, and some things unique to China, I hope you can take a look, can you add it to the text of Harry Potter, reflect it!" Boss Jia said sincerely.
"So much written!" JK Rowling was really moved when she saw that Boss Jia was holding a thick book in his hand, which looked like it was twenty or thirty pages long.
Boss Jia really loves himself, otherwise he wouldn't have written such a detailed setting by himself.
Well, JK Rowling will never know, it only took three nights for the fake boss to get these things done, after all, Xiuzhen had read countless books in his previous life, and all kinds of settings were simply copied directly.
