Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Zhang Xuan asked: What's the matter?

Tao Ge said: Two things. The first thing is that after I learned that you and Rowling would write a series of Harry Potter stories, I submitted a reclassification of interests to Bloomsbury Publishing some time ago. demands.

The publisher called me that night and told me that it was willing to make a compromise and give some of the profits to you and Rowling.

Zhang Xuan was curious: What kind of conditions?

Tao Ge said: The same conditions as your Clockwork Girl, I will give you three more profit points on the original basis.

Rowling and I have reached an agreement. You and she will each take half of the next three points, which is 1.5%.

Zhang Xuan asked: Luo Lin has no objection?

objection?

Tao Ge's eyes scanned him: She has placed all her love on you, how can she have any objection? It's easy to be deceived at this stage.

Zhang Xuan was speechless, What's the second thing?

Tao Ge said: A film company took a fancy to the film rights to the first Harry Potter film. Rowling couldn't make up her mind and asked me to go over and discuss it.

Zhang Xuan's heart moved: Do you know which film company it is from?

Tao Ge replied: Warner Pictures from the United States.

Zhang Xuan asked: Warner in Hollywood?

Tao Ge said: Yes, this is the place.

Zhang Xuan became interested: This is a famous film company in the world. How much does the other party offer?

Tao Ge said: “The other party offered us US$1 million.”

Zhang Xuan frowned, this is too damn little, isn't it?

It’s only 1 million US dollars, so what’s the point?

I felt very unhappy.

But he later felt relieved. In fact, it didn't matter how much the movie rights were sold.

But after Harry Potter is made into a movie, the peripheral income brought by its high box office is terrifying, after all, it is billions of dollars!

Seeing him deep in thought, Tao Ge asked, What's wrong? Do you think the price is too low?

Zhang Xuan raised his head and looked at her: Of course the price is low, and it's ridiculously low. You have to fight for it.

But that's not the point.

Tell Rowling what I mean. The rights to publish the book must belong to me and Rowling, and cannot fall into the hands of other people. The remaining copyrights can be sold, and we only need to share the rights.

This share is not only the movie box office share, but also includes all peripheral shares, such as theme park tickets, action figures, merchandise, food and beverages, etc.”

Tao Ge stared at him: You seem to be very optimistic about the movie's box office and peripheral income?

Is there anyone in the world who knows better than me the potential for a Harry Potter movie at the box office and for the horrific merch?

Zhang Xuan complained in his heart, but on the surface he said very confidently: Of course, I am the author, don't question my vision.

Tao Ge originally wanted to say a few more words on this issue, but remembering being slapped in the face by Piapia several times before, he swallowed his words again.

She said: Okay, sister, I will listen to you.

Then Tao Ge added: I suggest you and Luo Lin jointly open a private studio to facilitate unified management.

Zhang Xuan was very moved after hearing this, which was equivalent to further binding the interest relationship with Luo Lin.

Zhang Xuan agreed: I think this is a good idea. But I have a prerequisite. This studio must be managed by you. I don't trust others.

Tao Ge was very happy to hear this: You trust me so much?

Zhang Xuan looked into her eyes: Because you are my sister.

Tao Ge looked at him for a long time and finally said, Okay, I'll go over and discuss it with Luo Lin this time to see what she means.

Zhang Xuan blinked: Didn't you say that she is easy to fool at this stage? I believe in your ability.

Tao Ge chuckled: It's really easy to deceive at this stage, but I guess it won't be possible in another year and a half. The people she comes into contact with now are all elites.

Zhang Xuan nodded: So we have to do it early.

The three dishes are steamed pork with rice flour, braised fish, and stir-fried eel.

After putting the dishes on the table, Tao Ge suggested, I'm in a good mood today. Let's have some drinks to celebrate.

Okay, red or white?

Sister only drinks red wine and beer.

There's no beer at home, only red wine, so let's drink red wine.

They were both acquaintances, so they didn't use goblets, just simple glasses.

Zhang Xuan filled two glasses, one for each person.

Qian Bei asked: You are leaving tomorrow, where is sister Yuan Lan?

Tao Ge took a sip and said, I have already called to communicate and made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning.

After hearing this, the old man stopped asking.

The food was good, and the wine was enjoyable.

After drinking more than half of the glass, Tao Ge sighed: Sister, I have grown up step by step. It has changed so fast. In just three years, you have created a miracle and an immortal legend.

Zhang Xuan said seriously: You also have a share of credit here.

Tao Ge asked: Really?

Zhang Xuan said firmly: Of course.

Tao Ge turned his head and looked at him: Then you should thank me.

ah?

Zhang Xuan joked: No, I'm just going to be polite to you, are you serious about it?

Tao Ge stood up, sat next to him and asked, Do you still remember that bet?

Zhang Xuan pretended to be stupid: What bet?

Tao Ge looked at him and smiled.

Zhang Xuan was shocked by the sight: Can I tell you to be more serious?

Tao Ge put down the cup and teased: Kiss me, god sister.

Meeting her eyes, Zhang Xuan was stunned, then stretched out his hand to touch her forehead: You don't have a fever, are you drunk now?

Tao Ge flipped up his hair and laughed loudly: It's boring. It's really not funny.

Zhang Xuan: .

After that, the two of them stopped talking about this topic, and instead talked about everything from astronomy to people and gossip, even about their childhood.

A bottle of red wine was bottomed out, Zhang Xuan looked at the time.

01:37

Zhang Xuan shook the bottle and said, It's getting late, let's stop here tonight.

Okay. Tao Ge began to put away the dishes.

After thinking about it, the old man helped carry the plates and wipe the table.

After about ten minutes, Zhang Xuan planned to go back to the master bedroom to rest.

Just when he opened the door, Tao Ge, who was next to him, suddenly said to him: 'Clockwork Girl' has exceeded 10 million copies.

Zhang Xuan looked surprised: Really?

Tao Ge nodded, then took a step further, leaned against the edge of the door and brushed his hair and said, I'll give you one last chance. The bet will no longer take effect after tonight.

Is this bitch teasing me again? Isn’t it over yet?

Zhang Xuan decided to fight back.

Not wanting to talk nonsense, he bent down and picked her up and walked to the bedroom.

Tao Ge surprisingly didn't resist and stared at him with provocative eyes.

Putting her on the bed, Zhang Xuan squinted his eyes: It's not too late to admit your mistake now.

Tao Ge lay on his back and answered the question: Do you want me to change into black stockings?

Zhang Xuan said angrily: No, I think it's fine just like this.

The old man who was alone and often teased was really angry. He took off his shoes and lay next to her.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Zhang Xuan warned her: If you don't leave yet, you will be responsible for the consequences. I will not be responsible for you.

Tao Ge laughed out loud, and suddenly saw her turn over, put one arm around Zhang Xuan's neck, and took the initiative to kiss him.

You?! Zhang Xuan was shocked, I was just playing with you, but you are serious about it?

Damn it, you don’t have martial ethics!

Feeling the softness and warmth on your lips, I can't bear it, but I can't bear it!

In the middle of the night, do you really think a man has no temper?

Zhang Xuan is going to suppress her and teach her a harsh lesson, so that you will know how to trick her every day?

Tao Ge seemed to have anticipated his move, and got out of bed early, then ran out of the bedroom laughing at Zhang Xuan's anger.

Then there was a bang!

Once the door is closed, the inside and outside of the house become two worlds.

For a moment, Zhang Xuan wanted to rush out and take her back.

But the thought went out again.

He lay on the bed with his legs crossed, looking at the ceiling, his mind going blank.

As for Tao Ge, he locked the door after escaping to the next door.

Not worried, I checked it again.

Then he threw himself on the bed and went to sleep.

The next day, when Zhang Xuan got up, Tao Ge had disappeared.

But there was breakfast on the table, a bowl of beef noodles with spicy sauce, eggs, and fungus.

There is a cup of tofu noodle next to it, with a note pressed down on it.

I saw the note saying: Forget last night, I will never tease you again.

After staring at the note for two seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s good!

While eating beef noodles and drinking tofu curd, the old man took the initiative to block Tao Ge's affairs.

Start calculating how much royalties you can get from 10 million copies of The Wind-Up Girl?

Each copy gets 4.3 pounds after tax, so 10 million copies is 43 million pounds.

The tax rate is 12, which is 516 million yuan converted into RMB.

Look! Look! This is simply a money grab!
