Chapter 461: Willing to lead newcomers
, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
"Boss, this is the sales data of the Harry Potter book in January."
After the meeting, all the executives dispersed, leaving only Zhu Ke and Ms. Hassan in the huge conference room.
Ms. Hassan presented the report to Zucker and said: "Boss, thanks to the global box office performance of the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" movie, the sales data for the entire January can be described as an explosion."
Data explosion?
"In just one month, the two books "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" sold 15 million copies, which is almost the result of our previous year's efforts." Ms. Hassan sighed again with excitement.
No way, the role of movies in the sales of books is very obvious.
"so much?!"
Rao was Zhu Ke and was shocked: "In other words, the global cumulative sales of the Harry Potter book series have reached nearly 40 million copies?"
"It's 42.3 million copies!" Ms. Hassan said excitedly: "Boss, I can't believe its sales can be so amazing. Since I started my career, there have been only a few books in the entire publishing industry that can have such an amazing performance."
She couldn't help herself.
You know, the author Rowling predicts that the entire "Harry Potter" series will be as many as six or more.
From book sales, movies, TV series, animation, music, clothing, peripheral licensing, theme parks...
Undoubtedly, this is a huge gold mine!
"Boss, I suggest that when the filming of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" starts, the books of "Harry Potter 3" can be released. By then, there must be another wave of sales." Ms. Hassan said.
Zhuke nodded.
In the future, the global cumulative sales of the entire Harry Potter series, with the sales of genuine books alone, will exceed 500 million copies, second only to the "Bible" and "Selected Works of Mao". Is this a joke? !
In the following time, Zhuke talked a lot with Ms. Hassan.
Mainly focus on the copyright issues of bestsellers.
Well, the video adaptation copyright.
Jin Shuguang Publishing is backed by Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group and has huge channels for publicity and promotion of film and television entertainment. This is a resource that many publishing houses cannot have. The film and television alone is enough to attract a large number of young authors to actively contribute.
Published by Jin Shuguang, the future can be expected!
Of course, the traditional publishing industry is bound to be impacted by the Internet in the future, especially the Internet. Even if the United States has a good foundation for paper books, it will be affected by many, otherwise, it will not be after 2010. So many publishing houses closed down.
Transformation, not to mention imminent, is also the company's top priority in the future.
"The copyright of film and television is the company's key work!" Zhu Kelang said.
Finally, before Zhu Ke left, she left the first volume of the "Hunger Games" trilogy, and asked her to arrange the publication, and at the same time hand it over to the company's editorial department for a second revision and continued writing.
"Who made me only have the contents of the first volume?"
.......
By the time Zhu Ke left Jin Shuguang's publication, it was already 9 pm.
"Mr. Wald, please wait a moment."
As soon as he walked out of the gate, a tall young man ran towards Zhuke, but he was stopped by the security guards beside Zhuke.
"Mr. Wald, my name is Zach Bluff. I am a screenwriter and director. This is my screenplay. Please correct me. I am grateful. Please give me a chance~"
Although the young man was stopped by security personnel, he still begged loudly.
"Hey!"
Zhuke sighed: "Jonathan, you can let him come over."
"Yes, boss." The security personnel replied.
Stopping Zhuke from people who want to recommend himself, since Zhuke became a famous Hollywood movie tycoon, this kind of thing is not uncommon, too many.
To be honest, Zhu Ke knew he was a little bored.
There are all kinds of junk scripts.
What's more, I wrote a script outline without even a detailed content. What is the purpose of these people? To put it bluntly, it was a scam of money!
However, Zhuke is still willing to give these young people a chance.
What if you really encounter a good script?
If I missed it, it would be a pity!
Once the script that Zhuke missed was filmed by another film company and achieved a good box office performance, then for Zhuke, it is definitely a beeping feeling.
In the original time and space, directed by James Wen (Wen Ziren), he took the "Chainsaw Fright" script written with his friends, and went to several film companies before he won the favor of Lionsgate. He became famous in one fell swoop and has a big box office Sell.
In 1976, Stallone brought his own movie script "Rocky" to negotiate with dozens of film companies, but no one bought it. At the same time, he also set a record of 230 scripts mailed to the film company alone. An amazing record.
Many companies sneered, believing that "Rocky" had no bright spots.
The results of it?
"Rocky" achieved a North American box office record of more than 100 million US dollars!
Man, that was in 1976!
Its shocking performance is just like the big ship released in 1997, which is a world-class shock!
More than 230 film companies throughout Hollywood have received the script of "Rocky", but they all missed it without exception.
"Wow, I don't want to miss an excellent movie script." Zhu Ke often warned himself.
Not long after...
Zhu Ke, who took over the script from the young man, couldn't help but let out a burst of surprise after watching it for a while.
-"Love Return to New Jersey"!
Its the name of this script.
The reason for the suspicion is that Zhu Ke had bought a pirated VCD of the film in his life.
The movie can be said to be the beginning of Hollywood literary and youth movies in the 21st century. It has the elements that similar movies should have in the future, awkward interaction between men and women, extensive use of independent orchestra songs as the soundtrack, and a glimmer of sunshine in the gloomy mood... ...
At the same time, its box office performance is also very impressive.
The production cost was only 2.5 million US dollars. After the release in 2004, the box office market in the United States alone received more than 35 million US dollars in box office performance.
A rare small-cost high-box office movie!
"Excuse me, what is your name?" Zhu Ke closed the script and looked at the young man who dared to stop him.
He is 1.85 meters tall, wearing a shirt and khaki coat.
"My name is Zach! Zach Bluff!" the young man responded excitedly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Zhuke nodded and said something in his heart.
In the original time and space, Zach Bluff is not only the screenwriter of the movie "Love Return to New Jersey", but also the director of this movie. At the same time, he also played the role of the male number one.
I dare not say that it will be a big hit in the future, but in the United States, it is also a small and famous existence, and there has been no shortage of olive branches thrown by film companies.
From the time Zhuke asked him his name, he had already made a decision in his heart.
Movies such as "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" are very good. First-line commercial productions can achieve high box office performance, but a film company cannot lack other types of low-cost productions, otherwise it can only stand still. .
"Jonathan, give him a call to Kevin Fitch." Zhuke looked at Zach Bluff and smiled.
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Wald!" The young man was excited.
"" The first update is sent.
