With Laobai's new book, finding a publisher couldn't be easier.

Of course, the priority is definitely Seal Press.

After all, Sun Peng has always cooperated with them very happily, and there has never been any dirty; And more importantly, the Little Wizard series "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" and "Han Bo and the Chamber of Secrets" were all published by Seal Press, and the other party also gave quite good conditions!

So the next day, Sun Ya dialed Anne? Carpenter's Phone ......

"An adaptation of the Little Witcher series? Little magician? ”

After roughly understanding what Sun Ya meant, the deputy editor-in-chief of Seal Publishing House fell silent for a while.

The news about the little magician coming out has been known to many people in the United States, and it has also spread to China for the first time, but there is no movement in Europe. This is also very understandable, after all, it is said through TV programs in the United States, and Sun Peng is a Chinese person, and he has a large number of fans in his country, but Europeans don't need to chase the news of a Chinese screenwriter, right?

So even as a related party, Seal Press didn't get any news.

But after listening to Sun Ya's words at this time, Anne? Carpenter was a little numb for a while!

It stands to reason that she should readily agree, and then immediately grasp the publishing rights firmly in her hands, after all, it turns out that Laobai's books will definitely not lose money - even if the first printing of the Little Witcher series has not been sold out until now, and it is still far from recovering the cost of publishing houses, but Annie? Carpenter is well aware that with "The Lion King" setting off another wave of laobai craze, it is only a matter of time before the costs are recouped and the profits are made.

However......

As deputy editor-in-chief of Seal Press, Annie? Carpenter's concern is not whether he can make money.

"Sun, I'm a little confused."

After a moment of silence, Annie? Carpenter asked cautiously: "Although the sales of the English version of the two Little Wizard books are not as good as those picture books, because Laobai also has a lot of fans in Europe and the United States, the sales are still good...... Why was there a sudden-release version of the Sorcerer and the story set in the UK? ”

For her, there's so much to think about.

The most important thing is, of course, reputation.

Annie? Carpenter didn't know what Laobai thought, but she could almost already predict what would happen after the publisher published this set of books: the story was exactly the same, but with a different coat, wasn't that just the way to make money by consuming fans?

"Ahem, it should be said that this is an attempt by laobai!"

After being silent for a while, Sun Ya coughed twice and said: "You should know that in addition to works related to traditional Chinese martial arts, his picture books, scripts and music have always been killed by both the East and the West, but this time the performance of the little wizard did not satisfy him!" So what about ......"

When she said this, Sun Ya's voice paused again, and then she continued: "In order to study this performance, Laobai plans to do an experiment, that is, to wrap the story of Huaxia in a new shell to see if it can be welcomed by Western readers!" ”

“……”

After listening to the other party's words, Annie? The corners of Carpenter's mouth twitched.

I have to say that Sun Ya also felt a little embarrassed here.

She is not the kind of agent who does not learn and has no skills, so it is naturally easy to see, in fact, whether it is "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" or "Han Bo and the Secret Room", although it is wrapped in a layer of traditional Chinese wizard culture, but after wrapping it with a modern background, it is simply a strong Western atmosphere!

Therefore, as soon as it was published, the domestic criticism was endless.

After all, with Sun Peng's current fame, I don't know how many people are staring at his new works, and there is definitely no shortage of smart people with bright eyes in it. Therefore, some people say that this film is purely aimed at overseas markets, especially the European and American markets; Some people also say that Lao Bai's ambition is too great, ignoring the point that he must be based on the ontology of China; Of course, there are also people who sing praises, starting from his previous music, picture books and scripts, thinking that this is an attempt to let Chinese culture go global......

Different positions, countless voices.

But it is undeniable that the little wizard's Western style is too strong, and if he adapts it to the little wizard this time, Sun Peng's purpose is too obvious!

The problem is that even if you know it, you still have to do your job as a broker.

So after being silent for a while, Sun Ya still coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, Miss Carpenter, no matter what, the new book still needs to be published by the publisher...... In fact, Laobai has already adapted the first one, and has already started negotiations with Hollywood's Haymons Films for film and television adaptation......"

"Hemens?"

After listening to Sun Ya's words, Annie? Carpenter was shocked!

Of course she had heard of the name of Hermensi, and it could even be said that it was thunderous! You must know that European films have been in a downturn over the years, and they have basically been conquered by Hollywood, and even China in the East has begun to try to conquer the city in the European film market, which once caused the worries of countless people of insight.

And as a high-ranking figure in the publishing industry, Anne? Carpenter is naturally well aware of the huge influence of the company!

In this part of Europe, Hemens is the very top of the film pyramid.

Compared with it, whether it is a large Chinese company that Laobai has cooperated with before, including Hollywood's Capoka and Shakelu Pictures, it is really not enough to watch! And now that Sun Ya said that Laobai is talking with Haimen Si about film adaptation rights? And the little magician who was changed from the Little Wizard series?

"Sizzle......"

After figuring out the twists and turns inside, Annie? Carpenter gasped.

This......

God, it's just to expose Lao Bai's ambition naked in front of her!

"If nothing else, we should be able to come to an agreement quickly and start preparing for the film as soon as possible after publication...... You know, this must be a magic movie with a huge investment, and Laobai hopes to use a film with an investment of at least $100 million, with imaginative and gorgeous scenes, to show his readers the charm of magic......"

"Sun, wait a minute!"

When you hear this, Anne? Carpenter swallowed hard and said in a deep voice: "Are you so sure that Mr. Laobai can quickly reach a cooperation agreement with Haimensi Pictures?" And is it a movie with such a huge investment? ”

With an investment of 100 million US dollars, it is the top production in Europe!

No, no, or should I say, is there still a $100 million big production in Europe right now?

"Haha, of course!"

Haha smiled, Sun Ya smiled: "Because the importance of the laobai series is not something that others can imagine." So in addition to the concessions in terms of copyright fees, screenwriter fees, etc., he also prepared a large amount of money, a sum of money that is enough to make Haimensi Pictures feel excited......"
