Unlike in the past, the news of the release of "Harry Potter" did not cause much waves.

Only a few people who have been following the trends in the publishing industry, as well as a small percentage of fans, have noticed it and are concerned.

The main reason is that there is not much publicity.

Whether it is Li Zhifan or Oriental Entertainment, the current focus of publicity is still on the movie "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".

As for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", relying on the publishing house to publish a social essay alone will not make any waves.

Li Zhifan didn't plan to push "Harry Potter" hard at the beginning.

If he came up with a magical masterpiece like "The Lord of the Rings", it would definitely be hyped up and everyone would know about it.

It's not that he has an opinion on "Harry Potter", but that at this stage, "Harry Potter" is not worth promoting like this, because "Harry Potter" really became famous around the world after the movie was released, no matter how well the previous books sold and how high the original author's value was on the author list, it was not worth the fame and fortune obtained after the movie.

And an IP work, if it surprises the world from the beginning, it must be a masterpiece of the world, but "Harry Potter" is more than that.

A month later.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is officially available in North America.

On the day it was put on the shelves, the major bookstores with Li Zhifan's name, as well as online e-commerce, all sold good sales.

It seems that it was at this time that many of Li Zhifan's overseas fans suddenly realized that Li Zhifan had released a new book of Western Fantasy!

So, one to ten, ten to hundred.

The news quickly relied on the power of netizens and fans to spread among the people, and then it was published in a popular press release on the Internet self-media, and finally exposed by major official news organizations.

Step by step, the hot discussion is all caused by fans, and Li Zhifan, Oriental Entertainment and Publishing House have not interfered.

Within a week, 500,000 copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sold out.

Among them, Emay, the world's largest e-commerce platform alone, sold 150,000 copies in three days, and it has been out of stock since then, and has not been replenished, and netizens complained about the website's hunger marketing.

Everyone buys this book because of Li Zhifan's personal fame, only a small number of people want to see how Li Zhifan's Western fantasy is written, and no one really likes the book itself and buys it.

Because of the honor of "The Three-Body Problem", this "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is naturally given high hopes by the public.

But after reading it, word-of-mouth is polarized.

Applause:

"It's magic, it's amazing!"

"Cats who can read maps, schools of witchcraft and wizardry with cloaks as uniforms, and Muggles?"

"I still don't understand, what is a Muggle?"

"It's people who don't know magic, in Li Zhifan's pen, we are all Muggles!"

"The imagination is very rich, I haven't seen such brain-opening magic for a long time, I remember the last time, it was "Little Witch Cindy" when I was in middle school!"

"Good-looking, good-looking! I just don't know if this grammar has been repaired, because it is pure British English, but it is very simple and vernacular, and there are no ancient English words, but even so, Li Zhifan's English writing ability is also very strong. ”

“……”

In addition, there are many complaints:

"Children's literature, fairy tales, so disappointing! It's far from "The Three-Body Problem"!"

"It's so white, it's completely an elementary school student essay. ”

"At such a level, why would so many people cheer for him?"

"Yes, his movies are all written by himself, and they are all very powerful, but this "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" ...... It can only be said that he is not suitable for writing Western fantasy works, at least in this area, he cannot write a masterpiece that can be called literature. ”

"Li Zhifan adheres to the whimsy of the Chinese, but I have recently enjoyed watching Chinese fantasy, and if Li Zhifan writes a fantasy work, I will support it." ”

"It has been determined that the readers of this "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" should be between 6 and 12 years old, and the hero and heroine are children!"

“……”

These discussions naturally caused a counterattack from some Li Zhifan fans.

But the opposites are thus formed.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was released in China two months after its overseas publication, and in addition to the simplified Chinese version in mainland China, it also included traditional Chinese editions in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

From the very beginning, Li Zhifan adapted and designed the characters of the "Harry Potter" series into mixed-race children, which was also specially customized for his newly signed mixed-race children, except for boys, these signed little girls can be qualified for any female role.

Preparing for the pre-shooting work is nearly a year of training.

Li Zhifan completely placed these half-breeds in the storyline of the construction, arranged acting teachers, and taught them how to play the little magicians every day, as if they had really entered the magic academy.

As for the actors, at present, the company has signed a new batch of young actors, all of whom are mixed-race faces, and they are directly recruited by Oriental Entertainment from China, and the number is not large, only 7.

Li Zhifan also plans to let these seven young actors develop their singing skills in addition to the development of drama, and form a group to debut in the future, and even require each of them to learn a musical instrument.

It is also exciting to imagine that in another ten years, his protégés will be all over the world.

……

The thirtieth day of the lunar month.

On Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Zhifan put off all his work and set aside a full seven days of rest for himself, and had a more relaxed year with his family than before.

This Spring Festival Gala sent an invitation to Li Zhifan, the first time was half a year ago, but at that time he was busy with the publicity work for the release of "Avatar", and later it was "Spirited Away", so he turned down the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.

Later, when filming "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", the Spring Festival Gala program team came to the door for the second time, but was still rejected by Li Zhifan.

Just a week ago, the Spring Festival Gala program team visited the thatched house three times, but Li Zhifan had already made a plan to rest for seven days and accompany his family, so he refused again.

But for the New Year, as a working person, I have to give you a little blessing.

So Li Zhifan gathered more than a dozen artists of the company and recorded a song "Wishing you prosperity" together, which was released as the New Year greeting song of the stars of Oriental Entertainment.

In the past few days, the streets and alleys have been filled with this song, and people all over the country have been brainwashed by this song.

On some video apps, most of the videos use this song as background music.

It can be said that "Wishing you prosperity" is now in a mess, which makes the people of the Spring Festival Gala program team very unwilling, if Li Zhifan is willing to use this song to go to the Spring Festival Gala, even if he brings these dozen signed artists of Oriental Entertainment, anyway, the program team does not give money.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

The whole family gathers.

In Chinese families, it is rare for parents to spend the New Year with their children.

But Li Zhifan's side is, because both of them are only children, and without them, any of the four old people will become veritable empty window old men.

This is a very serious social problem, which has been caused by the SB policy for many years, and this situation is in the majority in China.

And there are not many people like Li Zhifan who can bring both parents together for the New Year.

Most of the post-90s generation has no brothers and sisters, and an entire generation has been crushed like this, and history will tell who the descendants are.

Looking at the two sisters and brothers, Little Cherry and Little Potato, Li Zhifan often sighed that because he didn't have any brothers and sisters, and he didn't have a lot of time to take care of his parents, he always felt that he owed a lot to his parents.

Especially on such a festival that should be festive, looking at my elderly parents, I can't help but cry.

"Let's eat! Xiao Ke, come and help serve the food!"

Today, except for dumplings, all the dishes are cooked by Li Zhifan.

And he cooks dishes that he usually doesn't eat at home, and it can even be said that old Beijingers don't eat dishes, and some southern cuisines - no way, in Huang Xiaochu's cheats, southern dishes are particularly good.

"Whew, whew!"

As soon as the dish was served, Xiao Cherry couldn't wait to pinch a piece of meat and eat it in his mouth, and then nodded and praised: "It's delicious, Dad, the dish you made is so delicious!"

"Haha!" Li Zhifan was very proud, touched the little cherry's head with his hand, and said, "It's delicious to eat more for a while, but don't use your hands?

"Washed clean!"

Little Cherry took the chopsticks, picked another one, and said while eating, "Dad, will you stay at home and cook in the future?" I will support you, you don't have to go out to earn money. ”

As soon as they heard this, the whole family burst into laughter, Xiao Tuan looked confused and didn't know what everyone was laughing at, and Xiao Cherry was seriously looking forward to Li Zhifan's answer.

"Okay! When Dad is old, it's up to you!" Li Zhifan said with a smile.

The family went to the table and ate and drank happily.

The Spring Festival Gala broadcast on TV also started on time.

Although it is said every year that "I don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, I don't watch the Spring Festival Gala", everyone will still be used to turning on the TV, but they won't watch it attentively, unless they come out with a particularly popular superstar.

Nostalgia is one of the eternal elements of the Spring Festival Gala every year, and every year old artists are invited to the stage.

The two invited this year are actually diva level, and they haven't been to the Spring Festival Gala for 20 years, for these artists, they need the Spring Festival Gala to increase their popularity when they are young, but with popularity, Patty of the Spring Festival Gala is not needed.

is now old, although his reputation is out, but his real popularity has fallen to a low point, leaving the name of the queen in vain, so he borrowed a donkey to go downhill again, trying to use the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to develop the second spring of his career.

It's a pity that the Spring Festival Gala is no longer the Spring Festival Gala of twenty years ago, and they have long since degraded the strength of twenty years ago.

……

After a seven-day break, Li Zhifan returned to work.

At this time, an excellent news came - the film rights of "The Lord of the Rings" were taken down!

"Really?"

Holding the phone, Li Zhifan's hands trembled excitedly, "Great, Mr. Cheng, I know you can!"

"In this world, there is nothing that money can't do!"

Cheng Wenbin laughed, with the face of a businessman, "We acquired 35% of their shares and won six seats on the board of directors, so the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" was captured. ”

"Oh!"

Li Zhifan sighed, "Sure enough, professional things have to be operated by professional people, since the copyright is done, we can develop the development, and then we can operate the next step." ”

"Don't worry, there's good news for you!"

Cheng Wenbin said mysteriously, "What we won is not just the movie copyright of "The Lord of the Rings"!"

"Huh?" Li Zhifan was stunned, "Is it all copyright?"

"Yes!" Cheng Wenbin said proudly, "The movie will be filmed, the TV series will also be filmed, and the stage play will also be made, Zhifan, do you have the confidence to do the TV series together?"

"This ......"

Li Zhifan couldn't cry or laugh, "I'd better make a movie with peace of mind, do a good job first, and talk about the TV series later!"

"Okay, let's make a movie first, after all, movies make a lot of money!"

Hearing Cheng Wenbin's words, Li Zhifan guessed that he must be grinning with his teeth on his side, and the businessman's face resurfaced in Li Zhifan's mind.

Only three days later, Oriental Entertainment announced the news, obtained all the copyrights of "The Lord of the Rings", and is ready to start producing the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies.

At the same time, the director of "The Lord of the Rings" was also announced-Li Zhifan!

Hearing this news, countless "Lord of the Rings" fans were crazy, doubtful, praised, puzzled, excited, and abused.

"It's finally here!Ahhh

"Directed by Li Zhifan, oh my God, I believe in his strength, it must be a big drama!"

"What? The copyright was actually given to the Chinese?"

"It's over, why isn't it filmed by an American company in Hollywood?"

"Although Li Zhifan filmed "Avatar", but "The Lord of the Rings", such an epic masterpiece, can he shoot it well, can he restore the original work?"

"I'm not too optimistic about Li Zhifan, if "The Lord of the Rings" wants to be made into a movie, it is not just a matter of special effects, don't think that "Avatar" is the first in box office film history, it is powerful, its plot is not full, and it is also a very routine Hollywood story. I'm not afraid that Li Zhifan can't make special effects, I'm afraid that Li Zhifan can't control the story of "The Lord of the Rings". ”

"The story of "The Lord of the Rings" is really not easy to do, as far as the elven part is concerned, who can do it?"

"If Oriental Entertainment and Li Zhifan really make this movie and get wide acclaim, it will be no problem for Oriental Entertainment to become a Hollywood giant, and Li Zhifan, the world's No. 1 director, will sit firmly. ”

"The key is to look at the box office. ”

"Speaking at the box office is the most powerful counterattack!"

"Don't think that Li Zhifan is a box office guarantee, if the movie doesn't work, he still has to hit the street!"

“……”

In addition, everyone in Hollywood was also ready to move when they heard the news.

Every actor and every behind-the-scenes staff wants to cooperate with Oriental Entertainment, and those film companies hope to join forces with Oriental Entertainment to create this masterpiece on the screen.
