Chapter 727 "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

This time, on the publication of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", Xiao Yunhai originally did not want to cooperate with them anymore. But even with a few more changes, such a thing could still happen.

So Xiao Yunhai changed his mind and asked Jesse to tell the four major publishing houses that he could authorize "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" to be published in other places besides America and China.

However, this time he has to publish at his own expense, with at least 80% of the profit.

If the four major publishing houses agree, Xiao Yunhai will take some preventive measures. In addition to sending people to watch on the surface, some people will also be invited to help in the secret investigation.

Once the problem occurs again, Xiao Yunhai will let them go without food after getting the evidence, which can be regarded as revenge for the last time.

Of course, if they don't agree, go back to the publisher.

Jesse didn't know about this. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "No problem. Although the 80% profit you want is indeed a lot, "Harry Potter" is worth the price."

With the film's worldwide release, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has sold more than 40 million copies in just one month, with a total sales of 130 million copies, becoming the most The best-selling novel of twenty years.

If "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" can also achieve this result, then the sales in those areas in which the four major publishing houses are responsible can reach at least 60 million copies. According to the average profit of 12 US dollars, the four major publishing houses account for 100 million copies. Twenty-fifths of that is $150 million.

Few novels have made so much money over the years.

Xiao Yunhai narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully, "I hope they can be content."

At ten o'clock the next morning, Jesse brought him good news, saying that the four major publishing houses had agreed to all the conditions.

Xiao Yunhai was not surprised by this.

A $150 million profit is not something they can just throw away. Even Xiao Yunhai felt that if the profit was reduced by 10%, they would probably agree.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai brought his lawyer to Crown Publishing House and signed a contract with the representative of the other party.

After the other party left, Xiao Yunhai smiled at Jesse: "Let's sign one too."

Jesse said happily: "Of course. Xiao, I'm really grateful that you can give us the crown of Harry Potter."

Xiao Yunhai said: "We are friends, why are you saying these polite words? You know, I don't take money too seriously, or else I wouldn't continue to cooperate with MGM. In this way, you can ask someone to make a copy. The contract is also at your own expense, and the profit will give you 75%."

Jesse said: "Xiao, you are so generous. If those publishing houses know about it, they will probably go crazy."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Jesse, you have done so many things for me, and this five percent is my thanks."

Jesse said gratefully: "Xiao, it's my honor to meet you as a friend. Next, I'm going to have a big fight."

After the publication of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was settled, Xiao Yunhai stayed in his manor, waiting for the approval of "Inception" while looking for someone to build a recording studio at home.

In the United States, it has always been rich and easy to do things. Xiao Yunhai transformed a bedroom of more than 100 square meters into a super luxurious recording studio in just two days.

The microphones, speakers, controllers and other recording equipment inside, all ordered by Xiao Yunhai are of the highest quality.

Of course, it must cost a lot, a full 30 million US dollars.

When Zhao Wanqing learned of this situation, she scolded: "Husband, do you know that you are a prodigal man."

Xiao Yunhai giggled and said: "No way, who made us rich. Wife, is your first recording over? How are the results?"

Zhao Wanqing said proudly: "Of course it's the first place."

Xiao Yunhai was stunned for a moment, and deliberately teased her: "Really or not? What is Jiangsu TV doing? The singer you invited is too bad, so you won the first place?"

Zhao Wanqing said angrily, "Xiao Yunhai, what do you mean by that? Can't I just win the championship?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said: "Of course, I was joking with you just now. However, let me remind you that although you won the first place in the first game, it does not mean that your strength is better than others. Strong, don't be careless."

Zhao Wanqing said angrily: "I know. Because this is the first game, popularity accounts for a large part of the reason. The next game will be the real strength match. To be honest, I have no confidence in defeating them."

Xiao Yunhai asked, "Who are the other singers? Let's hear it."

Zhao Wanqing said: "The other 12 singers are all very powerful. Your old friends Shen Xiangquan and Li Xugang, Lin Yuying of Tianhua Media, Cheng Qiandong, a top-tier singer from Xiangjiang, Hu Guang, an older generation of Chinese musicians, and Mei, a top-tier female singer from America Sri Lanka, Rick, the representative of black music, Zheng Shaoji, a singer and dancer from South Korea, Keiko Ishii, the queen of sweet songs from Japan, even Cai Pingya Cai and Hou Xu, the king of music, all arrived."

"This is just the first singer. I heard that the backup singers in the back are also masters of the masters, and there are many of them at the level of kings and queens. To be honest, I am less and less confident now."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "All the opposition are paper tigers. You just need to sing your own songs step by step, you don't need to worry about others."

Zhao Wanqing snorted and said, "I know. There is one more thing, that is... Forget it, I'll solve it myself."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "What the hell is going on? Why are you still keeping it a secret from me?"

Zhao Wanqing said, "It's nothing. Husband, I want to go to Los Angeles tomorrow and experience our ultra-luxury recording studio."

Xiao Yunhai asked, "Won't it delay your game?"

Zhao Wanqing said: "No. The next recording will be in a week."

Xiao Yunhai said happily: "That's great. Remember to call me in advance and I'll pick you up at the airport."

Zhao Wanqing said, "No problem."

Putting down the phone, the smile on Xiao Yunhai's face disappeared instantly. Thinking of Zhao Wanqing's hesitant speech just now, Xiao Yunhai knew that she must be hiding something from herself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai immediately called Mo Yina.

"Sister Mo, is Wanqing's participation in "Singer Night" going well?"

Mo Yina said: "It went well, we won the first place. Well, it's just..."

"Just what?" Xiao Yunhai asked.

Mo Yina said: "It's just that some people are not very friendly to Wanqing. During the recording, everyone was talking and laughing, but in private, Li Xugang and Zheng Shaoji were very repulsive to Wanqing. Especially the one called Ishijing Keiko's Japanese female singer has a thorn in her speech. The problem is that we didn't offend her at all, it's just outrageous."

When Xiao Yunhai heard this, he frowned and said, "So, is Wanqing being isolated?"

"That's not true." Mo Yina said, "Cai Pingya, Hou Xu, and America's Mace, Rick, and Wanqing all have a very good relationship. The thirteen singers seem to be divided into three groups, Wanqing's group, Li Xugang is one of them, and there is also a centrist."

Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "This game is quite interesting. It was very lively on and off the stage. Sister Mo, you have to be careful and don't let Wanqing be wronged."

Mo Yina smiled and said: "You can rest assured. Wanqing may be gentle in front of you, but in front of outsiders, she is not the one who has been bullied and will not fight back. That Keiko Ishii was not looking for trouble, but Wanqing taught her a lesson. For a while, I almost died of anger."

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's good. Sister Mo, if there is anything special about Wanqing in the future, you can let me know. The entertainment industry is treacherous, and I'm afraid she will accidentally learn other people's ways."

Mo Yina said: "Don't worry, I understand. Hey, Wanqing is really lucky to have a husband like you."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "It should be said that I am lucky to be able to marry her."
