"Before publication?"

Rowling didn't quite understand Charlotte's words,

"Can I sign an adaptation agreement before publishing?"

"As a package agreement is okay. ”

Charlotte nodded, then began to explain,

"It's really two different options"

"If you choose to publish, then we are actually deciding on an intention now, and then it is still normal business negotiations. How much you can get depends on the popularity of your work,"

"Of course, there is also the possibility that your work will not have a chance of being published at all. ”

Charlotte's last words made Rowling's face darken, and she subconsciously asked about another option,

"And what if it's before it's published?"

"That's a bet on the future for me, and for you, it's an immediate benefit. ”

Charlotte explains,

"I'll sign an agreement with you to get the animation and film adaptation rights for this work, and then I can help you with the publishing and publicity matters. ”

"And what about the price I have to pay?"

"Probably some of the benefits in the future, right?"

Charlotte shrugged,

"If your work is very popular after it is published, then then you can talk about the adaptation rights at that time, and you will definitely get more benefits by signing an agreement with me now, and I will not give that much. ”

"So, is there a guaranteed choice between the present or the unpredictable future?"

Rowling somewhat understood

The director named Charlotte Booth in front of me should have felt that her work was a little interesting, and moved the mind to adapt it into a movie.

If you sign a package agreement with the other party now, then the other party should try their best to help you run the publication and promotion of the work, and then adapt it into a movie soon.

In this way, even if the work itself is not successful, Rowling's own benefits will not be less.

Of course, because the other party signed the agreement before he became famous, the benefits in this will not be particularly large.

If this work is really popular, then there is no doubt that I will lose money.

But if you really wait until after the work is published......

Rowling shook her head inwardly.

Although she has not successfully published her works, she also knows that most of the published works may not even make a splash in the book market by listening to the gossip among some friends.

Popularity is not an easy achievement.

What's more, whether her works can be published or not is one thing at present......

However, if the future of the work is staked out just for a little immediate benefit, Rowling feels unwilling.

This work, to her, is like her own child.

What mother would give up her child so easily?

"If it's hard to decide, you can go back and think about it. I'm not in a hurry about this matter, after all, it's just a possibility. ”

Seeing that Rowling looked in a dilemma, Charlotte was very empathetic and made a suggestion for her to think about it in a few days.

However, this suggestion also made Rowling even more entangled

After all, the fact that the other party is not in a hurry at all means that this may be just an impulse and not an inevitable plan.

But in this way, if Rowling herself does not make a decision quickly, there is a great possibility of changes in the future.

Especially the option of that package agreement.

In the end, with the contact information given by Charlotte, Rowling left very entangled.

There is no doubt that the next few days of this "magic mother" will definitely toss and turn.

After all, this is indeed not a trivial matter for her, who is still destitute.

However, for Charlotte, this matter is actually very important.

Although he didn't say anything, Charlize saw it

"You're interested in the stories she wrote?"

After Rowling left, the girl asked directly.

"Sally, why do you think so?"

"Because you put forward the intention of buying film and television adaptation rights, but you don't care at all!"

Charlize rolled his eyes,

"From what I know of you, if you weren't very interested, you wouldn't have brought it up at all. Therefore, the later business negotiation methods may be able to fool Joanna Rowling, but they can't fool me!"

“......”

Charlotte sighed.

He found that the taboo of scammers not to attack the people around them is indeed justified.

Because the people around you are too familiar with you, it's really hard to fool them.

Even Charlotte, a master of deception, has nothing to do in the face of Charlize, who has "communicated" with him countless times.

Faced with the girl, he had no choice but to tell the truth,

"Her work creates a new and unique world of magic that, if successful, will definitely attract a lot of money. Of course I'm interested in this kind of work, but"

It's hard to operate!

Charlotte thought helplessly.

As a time-traveler from the future, he certainly knows the famous Harry Potter series and its author, J.K. Rowling.

It's a gold-sucking machine.

Not to mention that the whole bag is in the bag, but to participate in it and share a part of the benefits, it is enough for Charlotte to live a very nourishing life for a long time.

However, things are not so simple

Although the eight films in the "Harry Potter" series are all good at the box office, they have a lot of filming restrictions.

Not to mention that the original work must be followed, just to match the physical growth of the young actors, it is enough for the director to launch one film a year.

This is a blockbuster series that big directors can't look down on, and small directors can't make blockbusters.

For Charlotte, who is currently on an upward curve in her directorial career and is stepping towards a big director of commercial films, this film series is not a good choice.

"But it's nice to be involved in the series, if not as a director, but as a producer or an investor. ”

Charlotte pondered.

Of course, he just thinks about it.

Compared with directors who essentially rely on their skills to eat, production and investment are largely a game of capital.

If Charlotte participates in it, I am afraid that she will be eaten to the bone in the face of the new capital predators and large production companies that have joined in later.

As for the idea of eating alone and driving the series entirely on her own money, Charlotte has never had it at all.

First of all, he doesn't have enough money.

Although Charlotte has a small amount of money after the box office share of "Happy Death Day" arrives, it is a drop in the bucket for such a big project.

The promotion of the "Harry Potter" series requires a lot of capital and media resources behind it.

In fact, the success of this series is a process of everyone collecting firewood and high flames

Without the efforts and persistence of J.K. Rowling herself, the original "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" would not have been born;

Although the book sold very well later, it actually achieved average results when it was first launched, and if there was no support from the publishing company, it would not have been able to wait for the outbreak later;

And if it weren't for the foreshadowing of the first three parts, the popularity of the "Harry Potter" series would not have risen to the extent that it was favored by Warners;

And if it weren't for the eight movies adapted by Warner, as well as the corresponding massive publicity and distribution costs, this series would not really be popular all over the world.

It's a snowballing process.

In this process, publishers, film distributors, and even peripheral toy manufacturers from various countries are contributing to the fire.

This is by no means a process that can be achieved with personal capital alone, even if he or she has money.

However, Charlotte didn't think about this kind of thing of challenging the world alone.

His consideration of the "Harry Potter" series is more about how to share the profits from it, and how to take the opportunity to gather mana.

After all, Rowling's wizarding world is really a very good shortcut for Charlotte, who relies on movies to improve her cultivation speed.

In fact, he had already thought of a plan that would be good for himself

That's to be fast, to be slow!

Moreover, he is not interested in the film adaptation rights of "Harry Potter".

After all, that would require too much money.

What he really likes is actually the animation adaptation right.
