Chapter 410: Flying Over the Ocean

Although "Hell Detective" exploded at the box office and had a good reputation, now that the movie has been released, this is not the focus of Charlotte's life.

Even though he still has to deal with some publicity and promotion work as a producer of the movie, the focus of his life has shifted to other things-

The investigation into the Lord of Hell continues, though it seems that no clues can be found in the short term.

But the other party is too mysterious, and Charlotte doesn't dare to take it lightly.

As for how to investigate Tom Cruise, who was exposed, although Charlotte has prepared a set of plans, it has not yet begun to be implemented.

Now, Charlotte's attention is mainly on "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"-

After its publication in early 1997, J. J. K. Rowling's fairy tale sold very well.

Although it is not as advertised in later generations, Rowling's book is a god, but it is indeed sold out of stock and needs to be reprinted.

Joanna Rowling's standard of living has changed dramatically as a result.

However, Charlotte is more concerned about the TV animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" by Ghost Party Studios.

After all, the American version has not yet been released, but the anime has already aired on ABC TV.

Although the average number of viewers was just over 5 million when it first aired, after a period of playing, that number has more than doubled to 12 million.

The peak number of viewers reached an astonishing 18 million.

- That's the number Harry Potter reached in the anime when he first competed in Quidditch.

For a TV anime that hasn't aired a season, that's quite an amazing achievement.

ABC added 12 episodes to the Ghost Party studio as soon as the fourth episode of the anime was broadcast, making the original 12-episode first season 24 episodes.

And when the peak number of viewers reached 18 million, they were even more anxious to book the second and third seasons.

But this is not the biggest success of the animation "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" -

After all, there are always dozens or hundreds of new American dramas released every year, and although it is not easy to get a reservation for the next season, it will not be difficult to reach the sky.

In fact, there are many longevity dramas in American dramas, often for more than ten seasons, and one broadcast is more than ten years.

Any of these episodes can claim to have grown up with a generation of Americans.

However, there are not as many peripherals around these episodes as "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"-

From the most typical wands, to Hogwarts uniforms, and Dolls of Hedwig the Owl, they are all very popular.

Mattel is also in contact with Spectre Studios to make Hermione Granger's Barbie doll.

Although normally speaking, the authorization of these things belongs to the original author Rowling, but because of the agreement between Charlotte and Rowling, various authorizations on the American side are fully represented by Charlotte's Ghost Party Studio.

What's more, these companies that want to get peripheral authorizations are all referring to the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

The copyright of the animated version is in Charlotte's hands.

Charlotte made a lot of money because of this TV animation.

Considering that during the production of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Charlotte used a lot of spells, which greatly reduced the cost, it can be said that the money he made from this TV animation even exceeded the profit of a big-budget commercial movie.

Although, for Charlotte at the moment, this is no longer what he wants most from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone -

In order to completely seal Xu Fu, what he needs most now is precisely the "Philosopher's Stone".

Or rather, the Philosopher's Stone.

Charlotte had already tried, and he would not be able to build the "Philosopher's Stone" with the help of this TV anime until Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was finished in its entirety.

On the one hand, it's because the Philosopher's Stone hasn't really appeared in the anime yet.

On the other hand, it is also because the influence of animation is not enough.

After all, the current peak number of viewers of 18 million is very good in the TV industry, but compared to the influence of movies, it is still not half a star.

Charlotte felt that he still had to find a way from the movie-

"Originally, I just wanted to buy and sell the movie adaptation rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", but I didn't expect to have to come by myself in the end!"

Charlotte sighed to Alexis.

As the head of the animation department of Ghost Party Studios, discussing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Alexis will naturally be present.

What's more, because she once saved Joanna Rowling once, she has a good personal relationship with her magical mother.

On several occasions, in order to save trouble, Charlotte simply sent Miss Valkyrie directly across the Atlantic to England to talk to Rowling.

- It's not about saving money on a plane ticket.

However, the Valkyrie's wings do give Alexis the ability to move quickly.

If Charlotte is willing to continue to provide mana for blessings, her flight speed can even catch up with the "Raptor" F-22, which has just been announced and has not yet officially entered service.

- As a fifth-generation fighter, it can cruise at supersonic speeds.

In short, about "Harry Potter", it is not important, Charlotte usually asks Alexis to communicate on her behalf.

After all, Miss Valkyrie's ability to move is indeed not comparable to that of a living person.

And now, they are talking about the live-action film of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

In fact, with the hot release of the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", its American publishing rights have been taken by Random House.

This agreement is still Charlotte's contact with Rowling.

Now, the American version of "The Philosopher's Stone" is being urgently revised.

INTERVIEWER Although both languages in the United Kingdom and the United States are English, there are some subtle differences in the use of many slang terms and common words. In this regard, some revisions are needed.

What's more, since the animated version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is now being screened, Random House is not a fool, and they naturally want to take advantage of the situation to promote it.

Even, even the character illustrations in the book, they did not use the more traditional European and American painting style of the British version, but directly borrowed the painting style and characters from the TV animation.

- Of course, correspondingly, as the copyright owner of TV animation, Charlotte also has a small income because of this.

It can be said that in the whole of North America, the general trend of "Harry Potter" fever has become a trend, and when the North American version is officially released, then the live-action movie can really be said to be ready for everything, only the east wind is owed.

"Is Warner still hesitating right now?"

Alexis asked.

"Hesitation doesn't count, but, as you know, Warner's top brass have ...... brains and reaction speeds."

Charlotte shrugged,

"However, now that Disney is also in the game, it should stimulate them!"
