On February 24, "Truman's World" officially kicked off its release in North America.

Li Chencan also officially came to North America.

After Li Chencan came to North America, he and Zhong Bufan both lived in Los Angeles, and their temporary work was to carry out some follow-up publicity for "Truman's World".

But now there are only two of them, so they can only cooperate with the American distribution company of "Truman's World" to promote, and the connections here are gradually being established.

The United States is a country that bears a lot of resemblance to its previous life, but it is different.

The total amount of resources in this world is unchanged, so it is difficult for everyone to create resources, and everyone is more about sharing the cake......

Therefore, because of the rise of China in this plane, the United States is naturally not as powerful as in another plane...... But even if this is the case, it is definitely not something that other countries can hope for.

Los Angeles is not much different from the memories in his previous life......

Hollywood, Walk of Fame, Lakers......

However, there are some differences between many people.

In this time and space, the development of Hollywood's film industry lacks the kind of rich resources that can dominate and dominate the world, and the development is not as good as that of another time and space, and there are some gaps between the assembly line products of the film industry and another time and space. It's just that the technique has maintained another level of time and space, particle special effects, IMAX3D, 4K digital photography, etc., all of which still have the leading edge in technology, but the concept of cinema and the like. There are some gaps between this side and the other plane.

On February 24, "Truman's World" officially premiered here, and many Americans walked into the cinema with the purpose of making up tickets for "Saving Private Ryan". But after walking to the cinema, I was conquered by the movie.

The plot shown in the movie and the emotions conveyed to everyone make everyone feel that when they walk out of the cinema, they still feel that the feeling in their hearts should last for a long time.

When "Truman's World" was released in March, the box office in North America had exceeded 20 million US dollars, that is, more than 100 million national dollars. That's a powerful number.

"Truman's World" opened the prelude to the release of North America, and at the end of February, it also began to occupy the top spot in the North American box office.

After all, it's not a good schedule lately. It is not difficult for "Truman's World Realm" to reach the top spot.

is on the first page of the box office list, which is a virtuous circle, which makes the next box office of "Truman's World" continue to roll over.

"Another publisher has rejected the manuscript." At this time, Zhong Bufan said to Li Chencan with a little helplessness.

Li Chencan heard this. Shrug your shoulders. There was no frustration on his face.

"Let's try again." Li Chencan said to Zhong Bufan: "The current situation ...... Anyway, we have to be patient. ”

"I know." Zhong Bufan nodded, but his face was a little weak.

Li Chencan checked this manuscript on the computer, this novel is "Harry Potter", although Li Chencan read all the English novels at that time, he can write them down, but he doesn't read a lot...... After all, this is an English novel, and he can't read too much.

Harry Potter was carefully selected by him.

In Li Chencan's memory bank, "Harry Potter" is called children's literature by many people. But in fact, this novel has a degree of relaxation. Interesting, or not so popular, this series of seven novels has been translated into 67 languages, and all editions have sold more than 500 million copies, making it one of the best-selling novels in the world......

500 million copies!

What is this concept?

Li Chencan first copied this novel, and then slowly made other novels, there are only a few English novels he has read, but each one has the power to sensational the world.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Chencan wants to come to the United States...... if a novel like "Harry Potter" is translated and published by himself Chinese published...... It's no wonder that it will sell well. With different cultural backgrounds, it's hard to find common ground.

After "Harry Potter", Li Chencan also prepared other novels, but now let's start with this one - after all, he can't write "The Lord of the Rings" and then write "Harry Potter", right? Then everyone will definitely think that his level has dropped.

Although "Harry Potter" is also a bestseller, and its sales may be higher than "The Lord of the Rings", it is not entirely unreasonable for some people to call it children's literature, but "The Lord of the Rings" is a novel that people aged 15-50 will love to read.

It's just that when he was really looking for the "Harry Potter" publishing house, Li Chencan was facing a more severe situation than the original Rowling, and when he started looking for a publishing house, what he saw was dew.

Many publishing houses don't plan to ask for the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and several publishing houses also want to use Li Chencan's name to hype, after all, Li Chencan also has some popularity now...... But the treatment they give is either too low, or the publishing house is too bad to have a suitable one.

Li Chencan is also a little worried now, if the publishing house is not good, then it is not impossible for the book to be buried.

Just now, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was rejected by a more famous publishing house, so Zhong Bufan came to Li Chencan......

Li Chencan was indeed a little helpless, and sure enough, this novel was not very optimistic at first...... What's more, this is still the work of a Chinese?

"But that James from Flint Press contacted me again." Zhong Bufan said to Li Chencan: "They are still willing to give you a more generous price." ”

Li Chencan shook his head: "Are they okay...... But I still want to find a better publisher for this book. "This is true, Li Chencan is worried that the publishing house will bury "Harry Potter", so he can only do this.

"Let's look again...... I don't believe it. ”

After Li Chencan said this, after that, James from the Flint Publishing House came over again, and this guy still came directly to find Li Chencan.

"Mr. Li, you know, maybe the conditions of our publishing house are not particularly good, but we believe in you and hope you can believe in us." James' words were very earnest.

Through Zhong Bufan, Li Chencan also knew the reason why James was so keen to find himself......

Not only is Flint Press a bad publishing house, but they are now facing a lot of risks, underfunded, not energized, and basically on the verge of bankruptcy.

James single-handedly founded the publishing house, but now he is facing this outcome, and he certainly doesn't want to.

"To be honest, Mr. Byrne, I don't quite understand the source of your confidence in me." Li Chencan said to him.

James. Byrne continued, "Because I've seen your accomplishments in your country, and I've studied the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone carefully, I think it's likely to be a hit." ”

…… After some talking, Li Chencan could only decide to reject him for the time being, thinking that the Inner Fire Stone Publishing House did not release "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and let it flourish.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'm sure we'll have other opportunities to work together." James. Byrne and Li Chencan shook hands.

Li Chencan also smiled: "There will definitely be, Mr. Bourne." ”

This time and space is like this, Americans are even a little afraid of the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, but on the surface they maintain absolute respect.

This one is different from the other planes......

In addition, in that time and space, Li Chencan had seen people from European and American countries when he was in Europe, and they didn't have a good face for Chinese...... That feeling is a natural sense of superiority, the feeling of being able to be superior in front of you, this feeling, maybe he won't really beat you up or something, but maybe the mental contusion will be worse than this, unless you can bring them benefits, but this time and space will not be like that.

As a result, they have to continue to look for other publishers.

When the cumulative box office of "Truman's World" exceeded 50 million US dollars in North America, Li Chencan and the people of Pulin Publishing House finally got in touch.

Purin Press is one of the top 10 publishing houses in North America, and has published many best-selling books, and the publishing house also pays a lot of money.

The person in charge of Li Chencan's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is called Roman at Pulin Publishing House, and he is an authentic white American, and he is also polite to Li Chencan on the surface, but he has a little distrust of Li Chencan in his bones: "We can pay $200,000 in royalties for this book, Mr. Li, what do you think?" As you know, we now want to avoid as much risk as possible. ”

Of course, Li Chencan can feel the characteristics of this guy, that is, discussing this book in a businesslike manner.

Pulin Publishing House still sees the potential of this book, and at the same time pays attention to Li Chencan, a guy with a legendary experience in China, and his new book is also worth hype......

"$200,000 is no problem, but you have to guarantee the conditions I have proposed." Li Chencan said unceremoniously.

He wanted enough publicity and at the same time, he wanted to ensure that he could change the rights to the copyright of Harry Potter, for example, Purin Publishing only owned the publishing rights of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but did not have the copyright to the book.

Of course, he knew that the book was very valuable, and he couldn't just get the copyright over.

"I have to say, your conditions are a bit high, if you have to guarantee the independent copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", then we need to reduce your royalties." Roman's smile was a little stiff. (To be continued......)
