Chapter 44: The Magic Change
Wang gradually looked at "Harry Potter Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" on the computer screen, and his mind suddenly fell into a trance for a moment.
Then, he conjured up a little boy with black-rimmed eyes and a magic wand in his hand.
I don't know if it's because of the crossing, these pictures appear broken and blurry.
It's like myself, when I hear the name "Amazon".
As Wang gradually rubbed his head, trying to recall, hoping to recall more fragments of memory.
Dorsey's excited voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Ha, I've read this novel, and I also pointed out the author according to what Wang gradually taught me how to write a novel. ”
He took the mouse and clicked to turn the page.
Then, I stopped on a page.
"Look, here it is. ”
Dorsey pointed to the screen and looked at the crowd with a smug expression.
Wang gradually read the context carefully.
I saw that it was when the protagonist was bullied by his uncle's family.
And what Dorsey is pointing to is the psychological activity of the protagonist.
Harry said to himself: I can't be poor forever, one day I will get rid of this kind of life, and then make you pay. ”
"And here. Dorsey continued to turn the page.
This time, it's the protagonist who boards the train and heads to the magic school.
Dorsey was pointing to an author's narration.
"When the three friends of two men and one woman meet, the gears of fate have begun to slowly turn. No one knows that the history of the school of magic and magic will be rewritten from this day. ”
"Also, this is a big plot!" Dorsey looked smug.
Wang gradually continued to watch.
I saw that it was a description of the protagonist playing a competition at a magic school.
This game, as can be inferred from the foregoing, should be just one game.
I don't know why, it was actually written one ring after another.
The protagonist and his friends pass all the way without being favored by everyone.
Shocked off the jaws of most of the magic school teachers and students.
The most critical issue is that the readers praise these chapters.
Even the messages are much more than in other chapters.
"I can't stand Harry being bullied. Why is the protagonist so cowardly? If it weren't for this sentence, I would have abandoned the article. ”
"Ha, the gears of fate, it's really epic. I like this sentence so much. ”
"From weak to strong, I won the ring every time, which was really tense and exciting. It's so cool to look at the people who look down on Harry and look shocked!"
Wang gradually looked at the computer screen, and then at Jack Dorsey.
Scratching his head, he always felt that something was not right.
But Lynn's crisp voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Are you going to Horace-Mann Elementary School to give a lecture?" her pale blue eyes looked directly at Wang Yan, and said, "Think of Lily, think of Jean, this is easy for you to do. ”
Wang gradually looked at her, and then at the children's literature to which "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" belonged on the computer screen.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked Lynn, "Do the students in this elementary school have computers at home?"
"Of course, it's the most expensive private school in the country. Lynn replied, "The most expensive personal computer at the moment is just a fun game console in the eyes of these children." ”
Wang gradually pondered for a moment and said, "I can go, but you have to write the letter of recommendation." ”
"And it's going to be a few days away. ”
After the release of the first volume of "I Am an Archmage" and "Arcane Throne", Wang gradually understood how important the exposure of a work was to the sales of the work.
Therefore, he plans to wait for Tom and Rosie to contact the author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and get authorization.
And after the website revision is completed, and the function of paid reading is added, I will go to the most expensive private elementary school to give a lecture, and by the way, make an advertisement for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
"You have a conscience. Lynn pouted and said, "I'm going to contact the school board." ”
"In a few days, I'll be babysitting Jean for another day to give Lily time to rest. ”
With that, he picked up Xiao Kun's bag and left Wang Yan's apartment.
When the sound of stiletto heels "click, click" fades away.
Wang gradually clapped his hands and said to Tom and Dorsey, "That's all for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." Tom, you go and contact the author. ”
"Dorsey, you should revise the website as soon as possible, and we will try to get all the plans done before we go to the school to speak. ”
Tom and Dorsey nodded solemnly.
Wang gradually found Cisco's customer service number and began to inquire about how much it would cost to upgrade the website server.
At the same time, in distant Europe.
The young woman named J.K. Rowling had just had a big fight with her boyfriend.
Because her boyfriend not only doesn't go out to work, but also steals the money from his part-time job to buy drugs.
She locked herself in the baby's room, put her crying daughter to sleep, and turned on the computer.
The only thing that makes her happy in this life is watching her work, growing in readers and reviews.
But when she thinks that her work can change her current life.
The publisher's ruthless rejection plunged her into despair.
Rowling taps on the keyboard, confiding her current predicament to the readers.
Then, I was ready to finish my work and give up my unrealistic dream of being a writer.
She needs to find two more part-time jobs to earn more money before she can escape with her daughter.
And the praise and comments of the readers did not give her any practical help.
Just as she was sadly writing the closing statement.
Suddenly, a beep came from his email address.
Rowling clicked on her email and checked the email.
A moment later.
Her originally sad expression turned to disbelief.
And misty eyes, staring at the boss.
His own "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which online will be read for a fee?
And the royalty share is the only 50% in the publishing industry?
The price is only 30% of the surrounding copyright.
And these peripheral copyrights do not include the paper copyright of the novel.
With trembling hands, Rowling typed the word "agree" into the email.
Then take a deep breath and hit the send button.
At this moment, her heart was both full of hope and extremely uneasy.
Will anyone really pay to read their own works?
And can the income from the work really change his current embarrassing life?
When she received an email from the website reply, downloaded the attachment in it, looked at the contract displayed on the computer.
As if she had made a big decision, she found a disk and downloaded the contract into it.
Then, I opened the door and walked towards the printing shop on the corner.
