Chapter 488: Writing Travels to the Four Seas, and Literature Returns to the Seven Continents (II)
The launch of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" not only broke the bestseller record again, but also marked the official maturity of the entire industrial chain of "Harry Potter".
The film series of the same name is a foregone conclusion that it will win the throne of "the highest-grossing movie in history", and related merchandise derived from novels and movies is also selling well.
DVDs, TV films, games, clothing, stationery, Harry Potter theme parks, and theme tourism have all penetrated into our lives, forming a huge industrial chain, and this industrial chain is still extending and enriching.
No movie or novel has ever reached this point!
Liu Jingting also became the first person in the literary world to perfectly integrate commercial creation and Yan SΓΉ writing, which is a miracle!
At this time, "Brother Wonder" has returned to Jianghai with his wife and children, and "Ha 6" is also selling well all over the world, and in the process of selling books, the eight immortals from all over the world have their own magical powers, and some bookstores invite people to Coscheng Harry, Hermione and Ron The trio wears magic clothes and magic hats to sell books, some buy books and give away peripherals, and some buy books and give away theme park tickets......
For the world's Harbin fans, this is another holiday after Christmas.
As a result, Liu Jingting began to frequently receive invitations to give speeches from all over the world, and some countries even went the way of diplomatic departments.
Yang Lilu joked: "I know that there is a reason why my father became a diplomat back then." β
When Yang Guozheng was young, he was busy with work, and he didn't take enough care of his wife and daughter, and he always felt guilty in his heart, and now when his daughter and granddaughter face this problem again. He's going to take care of it anyway.
"Harry Potter" is about to come to an end, and whichever country Liu Jingting appears in with the finale of this book, which country is bound to become the focus of the world's attention.
On the British side, even the queen came forward to speak: "The story takes place in England. So the recitation of the finale should also be in the UK, which is the most perfect way to do it. Moreover, the friendship between our England and Mr. Liu Jingting is rare and eternal. β
The queen's words are not an exaggeration, a Harry Potter, a Sherlock Holmes, and the two heroes who are popular all over the world are from the United Kingdom, if Liu Jingting does not have a "British complex". Even Koreans don't believe it.
β¦β¦
After Liu Jingting and his family of three returned to Jianghai, the first thing he did was to complain to everyone about the sourness of traveling with their children.
"So, at least until you are three years old, you can take it out with you. β
In the end, everyone unanimously came to this conclusion.
After a short party. Everyone returned to their respective posts, and the new employees in the office were excited and restless when they heard that the big boss had returned. I couldn't help but want to go over and take a look in person at this great power, who has created a new miracle in Britain and is in the whirlpool of world public opinion.
However, they also know that their identities are no better than Lao Chang, Qingjiao, and Su Jin. At most, I pretended to go to the toilet, saw if I could catch the opportunity to take a look at it from afar, and then secretly took a photo and posted it to my personal social network, and wrote lightly "The big boss is back from the UK", how pretending to be forced?
This wish was soon realized, and after the big boss met a few "first heroes", he immediately asked the editor-in-chief to notify everyone of the meeting. It's right in the middle.
Just when Chang Youdao had just informed everyone to open an account, Kang Lingyue and Xu Qing, two former employees of "Craftsman Record", were also gathering in a cafΓ© in Jianghai City.
In fact, Xu Qing had just returned from Yanjing. Originally, I was in a hurry to rush back because I wanted to Mingfei, but I received a call from Kang Lingyue as soon as I arrived in Jianghai. Listening to her tone on the phone, Xu Qing felt a pang of apprehension in her heart.
"It's related to Liu Jingting and Lulu. β
What the hell is going on......?
On the way to the agreed place, Xu Qing was calm and waveless on the surface, but her heart was like electricity, and she thought about all kinds of dog blood that she encountered in reality and what she had written about in film and television dramas and novels.
"I ran into her. β
After Kang Lingyue saw Xu Qing, she said this without any foreshadowing.
"In the United States?"
Xu Qing obviously understood.
Kang Lingyue nodded.
"Did you speak?"
"Hmm. β
Xu Qing nodded and didn't ask, in fact, of course she knew that they had talked, otherwise Kang Lingyue would not have asked her alone today.
"She's still alone. Kang Lingyue sighed with deep feelings.
Xu Qing glanced at Kang Lingyue, the light in her eyes flickered, and then nodded.
"Aunt Qing, have you contacted her?" asked Kang Lingyue.
Xu Qing shook her head again and said, "When she took that gay man to see Liu Jingting, I thought it was ......."
Xu Qing paused for a while, sighed, and asked, "You...... How does she feel now?"
"Good. Kang Lingyue said: "She said that she is also learning from you, traveling around the world, volunteering, and she has been persisting all these years, and I can also feel some changes in her temperament, her mind and vision are impressive, which is a bit similar to Aunt Qing." β
Xu Qing smiled, very naturally accommodating this compliment.
"Then what do you think she's ...... That is, put it down?"
"I didn't mention this topic," Kang Lingyue smiled and thought for a while, then continued: "But she said something like this, which probably means that 'people sometimes don't have to put down anything very deliberately'. β
Xu Qing nodded in agreement and said, "That's relief." β
Kang Lingyue hesitated for a moment and said, "But she's working as a flight attendant now." β
"Flight attendants?"
Kang Lingyue nodded.
Then the two fell silent.
The meeting of "Craftsman Record" has ended, and as before, the meeting presided over by Liu Jingting has always been relaxed and free, and everyone chatted about the affairs of the magazine as if it were all over the day, and everyone expressed their own opinions, and there was no problem of bias and darkness.
This is not to say that Liu Jingting does not trust Chang Youdao, but he wants to leave a good tradition for the company. Lead by example.
β¦β¦
According to the wishes of those booksellers, the ending of "Ha 7" is as mysterious as possible before it goes on the market. Even the common "plot leak" propaganda method is omitted.
In short, it's best to send troops to guard every word.
In this way, it is not convenient for Liu Jingting to serialize "Ha 7" on "Craftsman Record". I originally wanted to replace it with another mystery novel, but after thinking about it, I still rejected the idea.
He can't control others, but for himself, for the time being, he still doesn't have to use another work to steal the limelight of "Harry Potter".
β¦β¦
In March when Liu Mingfei turned three, the seventh part of the Harry Potter series, the finale "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", was released.
The part of the magical overlap of history is that in this world, the first version of "Ha 7" is also a hired army escort!
Safety is guaranteed, but it has an impact on the reader's vision and stimulates and catalyzes everyone's sense of expectation. Undoubtedly more intense.
Moreover, taking 10,000 steps back, once the first printing of 15 million copies is completed. This investment can pay for itself, and by this time, even elementary school students know that any investment in Harry Potter is a surefire deal.
This is also the reason why there are booksellers in Japan who have traveled thousands of miles to England to find JK to get the right to sell.
The launch of "Ha 7" is the most complicated carnival of Harbin fans around the world!
Professor Snape was eventually proven to be a member of the Order of the Phoenix. It's a great double spy. Dumbledore's death was part of their plan against Voldemort;
Moreover, Snape has always loved the Harry Potter mother Lily, and Liu Jingting still remembers the scene where the female classmate next to him almost burst into tears when Snape said the line "always" in the movie;
In addition, all kinds of foreshadowing and hidden lines left before the novel, and various holes buried, have been uncovered and filled one by one, and the high-tide plot is intensively detonated, the most eye-catching of which is naturally the final battle between the protagonist Harry Potter and the "super ugly big devil" Voldemort that has been paved for a long time in this book.

Pavilion wears a certain spring. Two women and a man set off from Jianghai with a babbling and cute little girl like a porcelain doll to start a luxury world tour for several years.
Meanwhile. "Craftsman's Record" began serializing Liu Jingting's latest mystery novel "No One Survives".
This novel is the most famous masterpiece of British mystery writer Agatha Christie, and is also considered one of the most accomplished mystery novels in history, ranking first in many official and private mystery fiction lists, and selling more than 100 million copies worldwide
This "imaginative" mystery masterpiece is one of Liu Jingting's favorite works of mystery novels, and it is also the first choice he recommended to friends who love mystery works.
The book is truly full of tension and excitement from beginning to end, and many of the unheard of plots in the book are simply breathtaking, almost bringing the charm of ontological reasoning to an unprecedented peak.
Liu Jingting wrote reasoning after "Sherlock Holmes", which is still stunning and dedicates a feast to reasoning lovers all over the world.
In the summer of one year, the world premiere of the finale of the "Harry Potter" movie was held in London, and Liu Jingting took the time to attend, and when he walked the red carpet, he waved to greet nearly 100,000 Harry fans outside the venue, and then walked into the premiere hall with the film's creators in everyone's cheers and tears.
From then on, the magical story of Harry Potter is really coming to an end.
At the premiere, the organizers showed ten classic scenes from the series, and when the last trio saw Hogwarts for the first time, even Yoo Kyung-jeong himself almost collapsed.
Seven works, how many people's youthful memories are condensed?
In the autumn of a certain year, Liu Jingting, Yang Lilu, Liu Mingfei, and Xu Qing passed through Denmark, and Liu Jingting collected the fairy tales he told his daughter along the way into a book, named "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and published them in Denmark.
In just one week, Denmark set off a "fairy tale fever".
Stories such as "The Ugly Duckling", "Thumbelina", "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Match Girl", "The Ice Queen" and "The Red Shoes" quickly spread from Denmark to the world and became bedside stories for children in countless countries.
No one in this world knows the deep meaning of the title of "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", but everyone knows that it is written by Liu Jingting.
In the winter of one year, Liu Jingting temporarily lived in France, and a few months later, "The Count of Monte Cristo" shook the entire French book world, and "Monte Cristo-style revenge" gradually became a proper noun.
β¦β¦
A week later, a novel called "The Da Vinci Code" was published in the United States, and the American book market set off a new best-selling storm since "Harry Potter", and the debate and exploration about the book lasted for half a year......
By the time "The Da Vinci Code" came out, people all over the world finally captured the intention of that man from the mysterious and ancient China, and for a while, countless people began to look forward to his arrival in their own country.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Twenty-two years after his sixth birthday in Colombia, a magical realist novel called One Hundred Years of Solitude made waves throughout the Latin American literary world, and was called "a book that will definitely give the Nobel judges a headache".
If you choose not to comply with the rules, you will not be objective if you don't choose.
β¦β¦
At the same time, the dream journey of Liu Jingting and others was finally coming to an end, and the return plane crossed the clouds and buzzed back in the sky.
Inside the cabin, a father and daughter are playing a game of writing notes.
The daughter writes "Daddy is a badass" and the dad writes "The daughter is a jerk".
The mother next to her looked at them with a smile.
The father and daughter "pen war" for a while, the daughter made a grimace at her father, said "you wait for me", and then turned to her mother to ask for food, and her mother opened a box of biscuits.
"I've been swaggering outside for so long, and I haven't summarized it after returning home?"
An elegant woman next to the girl's father asked nonchalantly.
The girl's father smiled and wrote three words on the paper and showed it to the elegant woman.
"Dream of Red Mansions?"
"Yes, I told you before......"
"Daddy!"
The girl declared war again with a milky voice but arrogantly, and her father turned his head and was about to agree, when another voice intercepted halfway: "Liu Jingting, Yang Lilu, long time no see!"
The little girl's mother looked up at the flight attendant, half of the biscuit in her hand falling to the ground.
β¦β¦
(End of book.) οΌ
(Stunned.) It's not a way to be so stunned, so let's send it away...... There's an afterword tomorrow. (To be continued......)
