Chapter 232: Magical Romance
Charlotte has always felt that several women she knows in Hollywood have a bit of a special physique
Charlize won't talk about it, a typical monster-attracting physique.
For more than a year, many ghosts would come directly to her. Although Charlotte can take the opportunity to catch ghosts and practice, the girl's physique is also amazing.
And Jodie Foster, who is currently working happily with Charlotte, is not far behind.
Although she hasn't encountered ghosts as many times as Charlize, she can encounter terrifying things like painted skin and evil gods, and Miss Actress is also worthy of being easily caught by ghosts.
What's more, this one is still a lace edge.
Even the old gun's girlfriend Annika is actually a strange person.
After all, there is no one who can sell a stock that has been growing well just because his intuition is wrong!
In particular, she was clearly missold
Because that's Cisco stock!!
Charlotte doesn't know if Annika regrets it now, anyway, every time he thinks about it, he feels sorry for the other party......
And now, Charlotte discovers that maybe not only women, but even the female ghosts he knows also have strange physiques
After Alexis turned into a Valkyrie, she just went out for a night before capturing a wild JK Rowling back. With such a high probability of encountering monsters, it is really ......
Of course, after seeing quite a few celebrities in Hollywood, seeing "Magic Mom" again will not shock Charlotte much.
He just saw a similar story and reconfirmed it.
But his question made Joanna, that is, JK Rowling, a little confused.
"How did you know my name?"
As a single mother, Rowling is still very wary.
However, she is still too young to face Charlotte
"There's your name on the corner of the paper!"
He picked up the paper and raised it.
This calm action relieved the worries of single mothers.
Of course, in fact, Charlotte still saw the identity of the other party through the story, after all, the story on the manuscript paper is very similar to the beginning.
"The story looks good!"
Charlotte quickly handed the manuscript back to Rowling,
"Are you signed with a publishing company now?"
"Publishing company!?"
Rowling shook her head, her face a little bitter,
"I came to London this time, in fact, I was introduced by a friend, to a publishing house called Bloomsbury, to find an editor to see if I could sign a contract, but"
"The editor isn't too optimistic, is he?"
Charlotte nodded understandingly,
"It's true that it's more difficult to sign an agreement with a publishing company when you only have an outline and an introductory part. Whether they like it or not, editors always want the story to be complete. ”
"Yes. ”
Rowling's face was a little sad,
"Even though I was an insider with a friend's help, the editor wasn't very optimistic about my story, and he felt that this kind of fantasy work, which was a bit like a fairy tale, would have a very narrow readership. ”
"He doesn't think it's easy to make money!?"
Charlotte didn't know what to say about this situation.
On the one hand, as a traverser, he is very aware of the series' ability and influence to attract money, and if this book is not profitable, the editor is absolutely blind;
But on the other hand, Charlotte, who has read this series, also understands that Rowling's narrative method is indeed quite special
Not to mention, in the first five books, Professor Snape had to memorize a book every time, and the result was that it turned out to be Harry's misunderstanding;
In the sixth part, Harry and the readers began to believe that Professor Snape was just cold-hearted, but the professor came to kill Headmaster Dumbledore directly;
This reversal was already quite powerful, and as a result, the seventh part reversed again
Not only was the professor washed white, but he almost greened Harry's father.
Of course, it could also be said that Harry's daddy was Professor Green.
However, no matter how powerful Rowling's subtle and silent reversal of things and the narration of listening to thunder in silence are, the beginning of the story is really not very gripping.
If the editor is stubborn and inflexible, and only looks at the beginning, he may indeed feel that the story has little potential.
Of course, this miscalculation is actually good for Charlotte
He tapped his finger on the table and said,
"Joanna, I love this story, I think it will be published sooner or later. But before you do that, should you think about the possibility of adapting it into a movie?"
"Movie!?"
Rowling was stunned for a moment,
"Aren't you an agent?"
She glanced at Alexis, who shrugged her shoulders and grimaced at Charlotte.
In desperation, Charlotte had no choice but to say directly,
"Let me introduce myself again! My name is Charlotte Booth, and the one you saw last night was a despicable work. ”
Joanna Katherine Rowling suspects that today is not November 1, but April 1.
Because what happened today is so much like an April Fool's joke!
First of all, in the early hours of the morning, in order to vent her frustration at the rejection of her work by the publishing company, she went to watch a movie called it.
Because she likes the male protagonist in it, Johnny Depp.
The movie is very good, but after she came out, she remembered that the security environment in London is not good. And she is even more unfamiliar here.
Then, as expected, she was harassed by a few thugs.
Actually, at this point, although it is not good, things are quite normal. But the next "Hero Saves Beauty" is a little weird
Rowling thinks that she can only be said to be okay, but the one who saved her is really a great beauty.
Alexis was like a superman falling from the sky, easily scaring away the gangsters.
Although Rowling didn't understand how the girl did it, she was still grateful.
Seeing that the girl seemed to have no place to live, Rowling invited the girl to her temporary residence.
The two rested there for a morning.
In the afternoon, Rowling meets the man who claims to be Alexis' agent and her sister.
The other party seemed to be very interested in her rejected story, and also made a suggestion to adapt the movie.
This sudden suggestion made Rowling suspect that the other party was a liar.
But the other party said that his real identity was actually Charlotte Booth, the director of the movie that Rowling watched last night.
If the other party hadn't then pulled out a few photos of him and Johnny Depp as proof, Rowling would have wanted to leave immediately.
Although the photos can't be used as clear evidence, after seeing those photos that should obviously be taken on the set, Rowling has a little more trust in the other party's words.
But even so, the other party's proposal was still too abrupt for Rowling
"Mr. Booth, you say the film adaptation is saying"
"I want to get the rights to adapt the animation and film of your work. ”
Charlotte is sure that authentic,
"It can be after your work is published, or it can be before it is published. ”
