Williams is a forty-year-old man, who is a little transparent in the company, but he is content with the status quo and does not fight or grab.

But few people know that he is still a long-time sci-fi fan, and he has always liked hard sci-fi texts such as Robert Hein-Rhein's "Starship Paratroopers", but since "Jurassic Park" came out, he has liked these kinds of things.

To this day, there is still a trilogy of "Jurassic Park" in his desk, the first of which has Wu Jianye's signature, which was signed by Wu Jianye when he held a signing party in Los Angeles.

Seeing that he is about to get off work, Williams is in a very good mood, and Wu Jianye's will be listed tomorrow, which is a very celebratory thing for Williams, who has always regarded Wu Jianye as an idol.

Although the name he saw before this was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", if you look at it purely from the name, this should be more like a magic text, but Williams is still very concerned about this book because of "Jurassic Park", thinking that even a magic text should not be too bad.

As for the poster that says this is a gift for children, Williams selectively did not pay attention to this paragraph.

Tomorrow the company is on vacation, just in time for him to go to Wu Jianye's signing session to buy a copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!

got off work early, on the way home, drove his Chevrolet car, and listened to the "one" played inside, which was still Wu Jianye's song.

In the album "Born Out of the Sky", Williams liked this song the most, and his thoughts drifted to the previous movie "Ghost Love" directed by Wu Jianye, he and his wife also went to see this movie, but the two have different concerns, his wife likes the love story in it, and he wants to see how science fiction is added to this movie.

But it's a pity that there are too few sci-fi elements in the movie "Ghost Love", only a few shots, which makes him not very satisfied, of course, he also admits that this is an excellent movie.

This also made Williams more determined, when Wu Jianye's new work "Jurassic Park" is released, he must go to see it, he is a loyal reader of this one, and Wu Jianye has proved in the movie "Ghost Love" that he can make a movie that meets the mainstream values of North American audiences.

So the movie "Jurassic Park" should not be too bad, but now there is still a problem that makes Williams more headaches, that is, Spielberg's "Captain Hooke" was released at the same time as the movie "Jurassic Park", and Spielberg is also a director that Williams likes very much.

Spielberg's "E.T." even awakened Williams' childhood dreams.

However, this problem will not appear until next year, so Williams is not in a hurry, the most important thing now is to buy this copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" first!

Thinking to himself, he had already driven back to his home, opened the door, and saw his wife cooking in the kitchen, while his 12-year-old son, Serena Williams, sat in front of the TV and watched NBA highlights.

The '89-90 season was over, and the Detroit Pistons won 4-1 against the Trail Blazers to claim their second championship.

It's the offseason, and it's all on TV with highlights from the season.

The Williams family are all Los Angeles Lakers fans, so Williams put down his briefcase and took out a can of Coke and sat on the couch.

When Serena Williams saw his father, he immediately said, "Daddy, I have a crush on a Jedi doll, you can take me to buy it tomorrow!"

If it was before, Williams would definitely agree immediately, but I thought that tomorrow would be the signing of Wu Jianye's new book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and Lane Publishing had already released the news, because of the preparation for the filming of "Jurassic Park", Wu Jianye only had one signing in Los Angeles.

"William, Daddy has something to do tomorrow, and I'll buy it for you when I come back in the afternoon, okay?"

Serena Williams was naturally unhappy, and began to pester Williams, saying that he would ask him to take himself to buy it tomorrow morning, but in the end, the small one still couldn't resist the big one, and the small one returned to his room angrily.

"You too, can't you buy a copy when you have to, you have to compete with your son for time!" Williams' wife came over and complained.

Williams smiled and said, "You don't understand!"

.......

If it was a normal holiday, Williams would sleep until more than nine o'clock before getting up, but today is different, he knows that Wu Jianye's signing will start at eight o'clock in the morning, plus the expectation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", so he got up early, and before eight o'clock, he came to the bookstore where Wu Jianye signed the book.

When he came to the bookstore, he was extremely glad that he had come early, and now there was a long queue here, and it was roughly estimated that there were more than a hundred people in front of Williams.

And at this time, there were also a lot of people behind Williams who came to line up one after another, Williams noticed that most of them were about the same age as himself, or even younger, and some people even saw it at some reading exchange meetings, everyone is a science fiction reader.

Honestly queuing, almost an hour later, it was finally Williams' turn, and he finally got the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in his hand.

"Director Wu, hello, I am a loyal reader of "Jurassic Park", and I like what you wrote very much!" Williams said with a smile, at their age, it is naturally impossible to be like young people, excited to hug Wu Jianye, everyone is still more rational.

It's almost all about expressing his love for Wu Jianye, and then shaking hands with Wu Jianye, and it's almost the same when he finishes signing.

"Thank you for your support!" Wu Jianye asked for Williams' name, and signed his name 'kun' on the front page, as well as his blessing to Williams.

With a satisfied smile, Williams walked out of the bookstore with the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Back in his car, Williams couldn't wait to open it, wanting to see the contents, but the more Williams looked, the more frowning his brows became, which was very different from what he had in mind.

It is undeniable that the magical elements involved in it are very attractive, but the content in it makes Williams dislike it very much, and it is more like a book for children than a book for his age.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and when he saw a quarter, Williams was sure that he couldn't stand it.

Disappointed, he threw the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" into the back seat, saw that it was almost noon, and drove home.

When she got home, Williams' wife saw Williams' expression and asked curiously, "What's the matter, didn't you buy the book?"

Williams said boredly, "I bought it, but it didn't make much fun." ”

Williams's wife smiled: "Okay, maybe the last book is the pinnacle of Wu Jianye, let's go see your baby son!"

At this time, Williams remembered that his son was still angry with him!

came to Serena Williams's room, and sure enough, when Serena Williams saw herself, she turned her head and stopped talking to herself.

"Okay, don't be angry, how about Daddy take you to buy toys now?"

The child's temperament comes and goes quickly, so when he heard that Williams was going to take him to buy toys, he quickly showed a happy smile.

As the father and son walked out of the house with love, Williams' wife shouted in the back: "Come back early and make you something to eat!"

After Serena Williams got into the car, she sat in the back, because Williams was going to drive, and she seemed a little bored, and she happened to see "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the back seat.

Then I picked it up and started to pass the time.

After more than 20 minutes, Williams found a parking spot in the parking lot, parked the car, and said, "Let's go, let's go buy toys!"

As a result, he did not get a response from his own son.

Curiously glanced back, and was surprised to find that his son was actually reading "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" seriously.

You must know that Serena Williams is a notoriously naughty egg, and he has never calmed down to read it, and Williams has recommended several science fiction books to his son before, but they have all been rejected by his own son.

Now I actually look at it seriously, and even forget the conversation with myself.

"William, William......." Williams shouted two more times.

Serena Williams raised her head with an excited expression on her face: "Daddy, this book is so good, I really like Harry, Hermione, and Ron in it, you say I can't do magic, is that what they say Muggle.......s?

Looking at his son's series of questions, Williams's mind finally came up with the words written on the cover page of the book, 'This is a gift for children!'

"William, do you like this?" asked Williams curiously.

"Yes, very much!" Serena Williams said, as if he had been caught in the favor.

"Which one do you prefer over the Jedi toy or this one?"

Serena Williams tilted her head and thought for a long time, and said, "I prefer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone now." Jedi toys can be bought again next weekend!"

Williams' expression became more and more surprised.

However, he did not give up buying toys for Serena Williams because of his son's words, which he promised Serena Williams and must be honored.

When the father and son returned home, Williams' wife saw that Serena Williams was holding a book and reading it with relish, while the Jedi toy he had always wanted was in Williams' hands.

"What's the situation?" she naturally knew about her son, and she was very surprised to see that her son was actually reading a book seriously.

Serena Williams even forgot to say hello to her mother and returned to her room with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

As for the Jedi toy in Williams' hands, he even forgot to ask for it.

Williams smiled and told his wife what had happened.

"How could such a thing happen?" said Williams' wife, who was equally surprised when she heard what had happened.

Williams sighed: "I didn't expect this book to really make children like it so much......"

.......

Wu Jianye's side finally ended today's signing, and when he got home, he felt that his wrist hurt a little, and in the evening, Sean also called, and they had counted the beauty of today's book.

In the United States, the sales of this book reached 500,000+ sales in one day, which made Lane Publishing very exciting.

This is already the best book published by Ryan after the release of "Jurassic Park" 2 and 3.

However, Sean was still a little worried while he was excited, and along with the sales, there were also readers' opinions on the book, and many old readers of Wu Jianye had great opinions on the book.

Some people even shouted that this was a deception by Wu Jianye to his readers!

Such a reputation is bound to have a huge impact on the sales of the book in the later period, which is what worries Sean.

"Don't worry, just look at the sales in the later period!" Although Wu Jianye didn't know what happened at Williams's house, what he knew was that he wrote this book, which was no less than the new book opened by a newcomer and a new vest, and the audience for the first few parts of "Harry Potter" would be those children, and when they found out about this book, it was when his reputation and sales really exploded.

In later generations, someone has long used experience to tell Wu Jianye that there are two types of people who are best at making money in the world, one is a child and the other is a woman.

Hearing Wu Jianye say this, Sean had no choice but to temporarily suppress the worry in his heart.

In the following days, the sales of "Harry Potter" were indeed as Shaun predicted, and the sales of this book fell sharply, and many publishing companies immediately expressed excitement when they heard the news.

Originally, Wu Jianye released a new book, which made many people worry that their market would be impacted, but now looking at the word of mouth, it is obvious that this book has hit the street!

Quite a few companies even opened the champagne to celebrate.

"Haha, Wu Jianye is just an ordinary person after all, and there will always be things like stumbling!" The boss of a publishing company looked very happy.

The people below naturally responded, and at this time, many people were already looking at the prospect of this book.

But a week after the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the book suddenly saw a reverse growth in sales, and the data became a huge wave, and even more so in the following days, and the upward trend continued unabated.

This made many publishing companies extremely surprised, what happened, when they investigated and learned that the people who bought this book have changed from young people to teenagers and children, they also remembered the slogan in the book!

It's a gift for kids!
