As long as they are not foolish, they will choose to cooperate with Zhao Chen, and those who can become foolish are often in high positions or appreciated by high-level officials. Just like the ancient princes invaded each other, as long as they won the final victory, except for a few, the rest would basically surrender.

Human beings are selfish creatures, and it is true that only saints can be selfless, but saints are a very small minority after all.

Murakami Muraki is no exception, especially when he still grew up in a country like an island country, although the island people are usually modest and polite, and bow down to greet at every turn, but this is only an external form. Internally, it is based on self-interest, because there are really few selfless saints in the history of the island country, but there are many unscrupulous means for the sake of interests.

Murakami Muraki can make so many good works in the future, naturally he will not be stupid, on the contrary, this product can be described as very cunning, and he must not be deceived by his appearance.

Just as a fool can become a novelist, another is that novelists are unusually knowledgeable people. Two rather opposing phrases make for a tangled topic, but you really can't argue with it.

Murakami Muraki is undoubtedly a smart man, and he is also not a so-called foolish loyal. He has been in Kodansha for less than five years, and he has not become famous in these five years, nor has he been appreciated and recognized by a certain high-level executive, so naturally the word foolish loyalty has nothing to do with him.

People are selfish, and Murakami Muraki is naturally not a so-called saint, and the reason why he hesitates is mainly to think about the pros and cons.

He knew that once he agreed to Zhao Chen's conditions, then it was very likely that he would become famous in the future. But if he agrees, I'm afraid that he will hurt Kodansha, and if he doesn't say that he won't be able to go back to Kodansha in the future, maybe he will make Kodansha haunt him after he becomes famous, and he may not be able to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

But if you don't agree to Zhao Chen. Not to mention that he will lose such a great opportunity, it is more likely to hurt Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen's personal ability to represent many large companies such as Tianxia Society seems to be worse than offending Kodansha.

Thinking is only a matter of a few moments, the difference between the pros and cons is obvious, and in this kind of choice, only a fool would refuse Zhao Chen's suggestion. Murakami Muraki is naturally not a fool. Finally agreed.

"Very good, I will send my men to buy out your company's contract, and Mr. Murakami only needs to cooperate as much as possible when he returns. When Mr. Murakami joins Tianxia Society, I will arrange for you to be in charge of editing, and as for "Norwegian Wood", Mr. Murakami will remember to pass it on to me after completion, and if I can get through guò here, then I can immediately issue a single book. ”

Zhao Chen routinely explained some necessary things, and it would be funny if he made a mistake when the time came.

Murakami nodded. After signing a contract with Zhao Chen, he returned.

After Zhao Chen returned to the studio, he tried his best to share his own work with his subordinates, and he planned to spare a little time to write a novel. Well, plagiarizing future best-selling novels.

Don't think that Zhao Chen is shameless, in fact, he is a moral nobleman among the traversers. First, he will also compensate the original author after plagiarizing other people's works; Second, he never considered plagiarism of other people's works a noble act, so he never bragged in front of some cartoonists; Three. A wealthy man who donates every year is even more evident; Fourth, someone has always claimed to use culture to invade other countries. Especially island nations. One qiē and one qiē all said that although Zhao Chen has no so-called character at all, he is not a shameless person, not to mention that most of the plagiarized works are works of island people, at least someone in his heart will not feel guilty when he plagiarizes these works.

"Norwegian Wood" is brilliant, but it is just a novel. It can also be used to support the scene, and it is undoubtedly beyond its strength to expand violently. It is Zhao Chen who will take the trouble to continue plagiarizing future best-selling novels.

He really hasn't read a few novels about the island country, and except for "Norwegian Forest", the rest have already been published by the author, so it can be said that Zhao Chen's best-selling novels about the island country have almost no inventory in his head. That's how he will turn his ideas into the works of other countries.

It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to choose among the many best-selling novels, but the choice is also very simple, because there is one novel that can be said to be unbeatable in terms of sales, and the total sales are far from comparable to other best-selling novels: the Harry Potter series!

This fantasy literary series created by British writer Rowling has a total of seven episodes, but Zhao Chen has read them all, and he feels good, at least he is easy to be fascinated when he reads them.

This novel focuses on the main character, Harry? The adventures of Potter's seven years of study life at Hogwarts. Before Zhao Chen's rebirth, the series had been translated into 67 languages, and the total sales of all editions were nearly 500 million copies, making it one of the best-selling novels in the world.

Due to the popularity of Harry Potter, the future Warner Bros. Pictures remade these seven episodes of the novel into eight films, one for each of the first six episodes, and two for the seventh episode. The eight films grossed a terrifying $7.6 billion at the box office, making the Harry Potter franchise the highest-grossing film franchise in global history.

The biggest beneficiary of Harry Potter's success is undoubtedly Rowling and Warner Pictures Brothers, the latter has earned countless box office benefits, and the former has become a billion-dollar British woman. Who would have thought that a novel series could make so much money, if Harry Potter came out, I am afraid that it would be a fantasy, but Rowling did it, which is almost a miracle.

In addition, several of the main characters played in the Harry Potter series in the film have also benefited from this, from nobodies to world-class stars, and this star-making ability is also terrifying.

Also, before Rowling began to write Harry? When the Porter series of novels was written, I didn't have an idea of a specific age group at the beginning, but I just wanted to portray the story I wanted to write. However, when the publisher published the first part, it was clear that the readership was 9 to 15 years old. However, it turns out that there are not many adults who like Harry Potter.

And so, Harry? The Porter series of novels has enthusiasts of all ages, and in some countries even two editions of the cover design are published at the same time. One is naturally a children's version for teenagers, and the other is a mature adult version, and although the content of both versions is exactly the same, this has also boosted Harry Potter sales.

And with the development of the plot of the series of novels, Rowling's tone has begun to become more sophisticated and mature. This is a common problem of writers, maybe the wonderful journey of the story is not easy to say, but with the portrayal of the writing will always become more and more fluent. Plus Harry, the protagonist of the story? Potter's continued growth, both in terms of content and style, has been a gradual development of the entire novel series. In other words, the plot of this series is quite stable. There is nothing that makes people feel unacceptable all of a sudden, and Rowling's ability to control the rhythm can be imagined.

You must know that if you want to write a novel, it is not as simple as ordinary people think, which often requires experience, skill and talent in one, because many novelists suddenly collapse in the process of writing novels, and the originally smooth plot is like throwing a mouse feces into the abyss. If you want to write a good novel, you often need the help of an outline, and if you have the work of water mill to build. In the long run, it will also allow the writer to control the rhythm.

Of course, this kind of writing collapse occurs most often in online literature, mainly because the update speed of online literature is too fast, often tens of thousands a day, who can be sure that they will not write collapse at such a speed.

You must know that if you don't count online literature, a 100,000-word novel often takes a writer a year or two, and the cycle and word count between this are too different, and this is the case with "Norwegian Wood".

When Zhao Chen decided to release Harry Potter, his mind automatically filtered the original writer, Ms. Rowling. No way, the current Ms. Rowling is just a freshman. has not yet become a writer's mind and consciousness, and it is undoubtedly thankless for her to write the Harry Potter series at this time, and the pen stroke alone is not small compared to her more than ten years later.

In the same way, the current Rowling did not meet the thin young wizard at the train station, and her interest alone was not much different. Even with the support of Zhao Chen's outline, the overall charm is probably weaker than the original.

These two prerequisites alone are enough to eliminate the current Rowling. And Zhao Chen himself is not at ease when he hands over such a work to others, for fear that others will destroy a good classic work.

On the other hand, each of the Harry Potter novels doesn't actually have too many words. The first three are only in their early 200,000s, and it won't take too long for Zhao Chen to complete one.

What's more, Zhao Chen's plan is very simple, that is, to write the first part first, and then release the second part when the sales of the first part continue to open, so that the market can be completely stimulated, and the burden on him can also be relaxed.

Zhao Chen is a more practical person, and after making a decision, he began to do it. He believes that as long as the Harry Potter series is born, then Tianxia Society will be able to take a step forward in the publishing industry in a short period of time, which is not a joke, but a fact.

As for his original job, he was able to shirk it to his subordinates, so he naturally tried his best to push it to them, and in the name of letting them improve their standards. And he is more assured that after a few years, all of his full-time assistants can be said to be talents, with a variety of styles, among which good painters also abound. Although he can't completely take over his work, as long as he has a storyboard, he can save three or four percent of his work.

But this is only temporary, after all, there is still a lot of gap between the assistant's painter and him, even if the most important places are done by him, if the time is long, it is difficult to ensure that the reader will not be able to see.

In the Harry Potter series, the first episode is called Harry? Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", which was historically published in June 1997 by Bloomsbury, which at the time was a small neutral publishing house. It was only after the publication of this episode of the Harry Potter series that in the months that followed, the book was a hit to critical acclaim. The first three episodes of the direct guide series all won the Nestlé Smart Bean Children's Book Award for the 9-11 age group. And the fourth episode of Harry? Potter and the Goblet of Fire was a relatively high-profile book when it was published in 2000, and due to its previous accumulation, Cheng dù received much more attention from the public and media than the average new book.

And it was when the fourth episode began to be published that the American film giant Warner Bros. Pictures decided to put this series of novels on the big screen, and officially launched a movie based on the first episode of the novel in 2001, which pushed Harry Potter to its peak when the movie was broadcast.

As for the fifth episode of Harry? Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the sixth episode of Harry? Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was advertised at the time of its publication, and it was quite high-profile both in the UK and in other countries, and its sales quickly occupied the book sales charts in various countries.

It can be said that the Harry Potter series is like this, and the first three episodes belong to the low-key period. At this time, the Harry Potter series was in the process of accumulating fame, and Warner Bros. decision undoubtedly made the series sell to a higher level, and at the same time allowed Rowling and the publishing house to taste the excellent effect of publicity, so there was a large-scale publicity decision later.

However, Zhao Chen is obviously different from Rowling, who is now one of the most famous people in the world, and Rowling, who started writing Harry Potter at that time, is just a newcomer. The difference in fame between the two can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth. On the other hand, the World Society is far from being comparable to the small and medium-sized comic book club, and the establishment of branches around the world alone is enough to make the Harry Potter series take a lot less travel. In addition, Zhao Chen also has his own public relations media, which can also increase the sales of the Harry Potter series.

Especially this era is different from the 21st century, most of the human beings in the 21st century have popularized computers or have begun to popularize them, and the Harry Potter series will have a lot of decline. In this era, there are very few computers, and computer games are just in the stage of development, so in this era, many people will spend their time on books, especially extracurricular books like the Harry Potter series.

In addition, let's talk about the plot. If Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were published in this era, there would undoubtedly be fewer competitors, and there would hardly be similar books published in this era, focusing mainly on the plot.

One night, Harry, a one-year-old boy? Potter lost his parents and was mysteriously sent to the door of 4 Privet Road, where he began a life of bullying at his aunt's and uncle's house, which was also the day of the Passion.

Ten years have passed. Harry, who lives at his aunt's house, never had a birthday. But on his eleventh birthday, everything finally changed. An owl sent a letter. Invite Harry to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a magical place he had never heard of.

On the first day of school, Harry finally arrived at the castle-like magic school, where he was shocked by both the environment and the people, from class to eating and sleeping.

But what makes Harry Potter happiest is that he finally meets two friends, one is the loyal and kind boy Ron. The other is Hermione, a smart and clever girl. Of course, among them, there is also Draco, who is bent on opposing him? Malfoy.

After entering the school, Harry began to learn magic that he had never known before, and in one semester he learned to fly in the air and learned to use basic spells. He also learned to play Quidditch on a broomstick. An invisibility cloak that allows him to disappear from the sight of others at any time gives him the freedom to go in and out of any situation.

Behind this qiē, however, an even more mysterious force haunted Harry, the lightning scar on his forehead from the murderer of his parents faintly aching more often than ever, and more powerful each time.

There are also many unexpected emergencies here, Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover that there is a large dog with three heads in a room on the third floor of the school; Gringotts, the bank of the wizarding world, was mysteriously stolen; Quirrell, the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, always had a large scarf wrapped around his head for some reason, and it smelled disgusting.

Each of these qiē is related to a mysterious Philosopher's Stone, the evil wizard who killed Lord Voldemort's parents, and it was here that Harry began his difficult fate in the wizarding world.

Although "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is the first episode of the Harry series, it may not be as good as the next six episodes in terms of penmanship, but this is undoubtedly the most important episode, explaining the background and a few foreshadowings that are enough to connect the previous and the next, and as the plot unfolds, the stamina of the series finally becomes stronger and stronger, and it has snowballed sales.

Of course, the sales volume of nearly 500 million can only be regarded as genuine, and if you count countless pirated copies, then at least one out of every ten people in the world has bought a set of Harry Potter, and there are undoubtedly more people who have seen it.

Of course, this sales cannot be compared with those necessary books on religion, politics/politics, etc., because there is no practical meaning, and if you compare it with the Bible, it really has no comparison, not to mention how many years the Bible has been sold, which is also a tangled question. But even if you count the Bible, the sales of the Harry Potter series are enough to enter the top ten, or even the top five. In terms of book series, other novel series cannot be compared in terms of sales at all, and Harry Potter is truly the world's number one book series.

Even in terms of an average episode, it is an astronomical number, and only books such as "The Weakness of Human Nature" and "Letter to Garcia" can be compared, which shows how perverted it is.

The first episode of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has a total of nearly 230,000 words, and with Zhao Chen's plagiarism speed, I am afraid it will be done in about a month.

In order to improve the quality, Zhao Chen decided to ask a few good men to help improve the quality of the novel.

In such a situation, time passed slowly, and soon it was time for Dragon Ball to end. (To be continued......)
