Vol 2 Chapter 111: Harry Potter sales

"Of course not, Your Majesty just said that I look pretty again. As the supreme ruler in Britain's name, she couldn't focus on me. In fact, no one would be in that situation. It ’s a matter of courtesy to ask this kind of rude and embarrassing question, do you understand? "
The two little guys on the sofa looked at her unclearly, Xia Xia basically understood the meaning, and Jessica Rowling asked in amazement: "But I heard many people say that because of what movie , The royal family doesn't like you. "
"Well, my dear, even if the royal family doesn't like me, as long as I don't behave exceptionally, or behavior that affects their image, they will not show it publicly, let alone this public occasion." Angela has some headaches. Explaining.
Sure enough, Little Rowling still didn't quite understand, and she seemed to want to follow up. Fortunately, Xia Xia interrupted in time: "It is better to tell us about Her Royal Highness."
Unfortunately, she chose the wrong topic.
"Xia Xia, Her Royal Highness did not attend the New Year's Gala Dinner." The girl spread her hands with a grin, and Elizabeth II continued to expose the family ugly because of the separated Crown Prince and Princess, and finally publicly ordered Charles and Diana as soon as possible on Christmas Eve. Divorce, if the princess will still appear at the New Year's dinner, it's a hell.
Fortunately, before waiting for Rowling to ask further questions, Aunt Rowling came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly baked cookies and Kate: "Hey, girls, the good cookies are baked."
Little Rowling cheered and jumped up, rushed to her mother and jumped up, trying to taste first.
"Okay, little cat. Wash your hands first, or you won't be allowed to eat." Rowling knocked her daughter's head affectionately. Her complexion looked much better, and her complexion looked very energetic. You should know that in one year Before, although she ended her life relying on relief money, the burden of her life still made her overwhelmed, until the publication of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
Not the same as Angela imagined. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" did not make much waves in the book market. In 1995, it sold only 70,000 copies in the United States for a whole year, and it was better in the UK, which was also 70,000 copies. There was absolutely no sensation in her time and space as soon as it was published.
The girl was puzzled by this. She thought that she had caused any changes, but the entire book was not much different from what she remembered. Even if it was not remembered in some places, the main line of the entire story remained the same. So why is this happening? Fortunately, even if it is not high, the sales of a total of 150,000 books on both sides of the ocean still allow Rowling to get rid of the previous dilemma, otherwise Angela will certainly die of guilt.
"Are you here?" Rowling smiled and brought the plate to Angela. Although the baking time is slightly longer. The edges of the biscuits are a bit burnt. But the creamy scent still couldn't help swallowing.
"Of course. Aunt Rowling's butter cookies are eaten every year. Not enough each year." The girl smiled and picked up the best piece in the middle. He bit off half of it in one bite.
"The ground is not very good today. Jessica and I have just moved out of the house. There is not much land to use. I thought you would be here in a few days. Otherwise I could bake some honey apple pie." Rowling shrugged.
"That's a shame." The girl shook her head with a sigh. Rowling's toasted cookies and apple pie have a wonderful flavor. Make her like it. Every time in recent years, she returned to visit her in London. Always try to be willing.
"Your coffee. Cappuccino." Kate pushed the cup in front of him. The white flowery foam looks sweet.
"Thank you." Angela has loved this type of coffee since that time at Kate Land. Although not much drink. But if there is coffee. She will definitely want this taste.
"Aren't you worried about getting fat?" Kate laughed suddenly as she looked at the strange girl with coffee in one hand and the other in the other.
Angela was stunned. To be honest, she had never considered this issue. After all, it was impossible for her to think about herself being fat all day long. It was impossible to maintain her body and the like. Think about the weight loss she had seen in previous lives. The ribbed model, she felt a bit cold, at least with her male eyes, not fat or thin is the most suitable, such as Kate's figure!
"I don't have to worry about it, I have the secret to keeping myself in shape." The girl finally shrugged.
"Really? What is it?" Kate suddenly became interested, and Rowling also opened her eyes. Angela immediately realized that she had said something wrong. Obviously, as long as women are interested in maintaining body shape, they will be interested --- Except her!
"Well, okay, the simple thing is to do yoga or something. Anyway, the excess heat is released." Angela said nonsense, seeing that the two women were hanging in disbelief, and quickly added: "Of course I use practice ... Kung Fu to keep my exercise volume, remember, Kate, I told you that my grandma knows Chinese Kung Fu. I learned a lot from her. Although she does n’t have much strength, at least it is no problem to keep fit. "
Then she shifted the topic: "Instead of worrying about my weight, I might as well worry about these two little guys. Look, the cheeks are full of cookie residue."
Xia Xia and Little Rowling suddenly looked up at them, and the eyes of the two little boys were widened. The innocent looks made people unbearable, but even then, their mouths never stopped.
"Well, I'm just talking." Angela grabbed her head and shifted the subject again: "Yes, Joe, how was your second episode? In New York, Mr. Vincent returned Speaking of it, I remember that it should be called "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."
Speaking of which, she suddenly felt bright, although Vincent was mostly complaining when talking to her about "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". After all, the sales of 70,000 copies were too ordinary. Compared with his bragging, La was a typical thunder and heavy rain, but at the end he revealed a sentence. I have already contacted Rowling and asked when the second episode will be completed!
As a currently successful publisher, Vincent will certainly not lose sight. After complaining about sales, he contacted Rowling to prepare a second episode, so it can only explain one thing. The sequel is promising!
So Angela suddenly understood, think about the Harry Potter series in previous lives, no doubt. After reading two or three books in a row, you will realize the excitement, so the sales of the first book are mediocre, as long as Rowling continues to write down. Keep the story from the girl's memory. After two or three episodes, use the movie for a hype. There is absolutely no problem in blowing the magic whirlwind.
"Yes, Vincent did contact me," Rowling nodded regretfully. "But still only the outline, I have to take care of Jessica to work, it may not be completed in the second half of the year."
"Really?" Angela wanted to say she might as well resign and concentrate on writing at home, but after thinking about it, she just let it go, so she nodded: "Well, I'll wait for your new book to be published."
Then she raised her hand. Blinking: "Don't reveal the plot, let me be pleasantly surprised."
Rowling laughed. After thinking about it, I asked again, "Anji, can you tell me. Which character do you like best?"
"Of course it's the Gryffindor Golden Triangle." The girl didn't want to blurt out, while looking at the future Miss Hermione by the way. Well, the cookie crumbs are still full of faces.
"Golden Triangle? The name is quite interesting." Rowling raised an eyebrow.
"Oh. I just suddenly thought, if it wasn't appropriate ..." Angela hurriedly explained.
"It's okay, I said, this title is very interesting," the future magic mother didn't care, and continued to ask, "so except for the three of them?"
"That's a lot. Several main characters are quite interesting, Neville, Weasley Brothers, McGonagall and Dumbledore." At this point, Angela paused suddenly, and seemed to think carefully before saying: "If there is one that is most special," he said.
"who is it?"
"Snape!"
If you choose the ten most memorable chapters in the previous Harry Potter series, "The Prince's Story" in "Death" is definitely on the list, no one would think of the nasty betrayal. Snape betraying the past, the greasy big bat will have such a story, and even loyal fans claim to read this and cried.
"Why?" Rowling was surprised.
"There is a saying in China that there must be poor places on hateful people. Although Snape is really annoying, but I don't think you should arrange such a simple role?" Angela blinked, she didn't want too much Interfered with Rowling's creation, but did sympathize with Snape and had to briefly say a few words.
"Well ... well, I know, but I think I'll leave a surprise for you." Rowling looked at Angela and thoughtfully touched her chin.
"What are you talking about?" Xia Xia turned her head at this moment. After she and Cookie had completely divided the cookies, she still remembered to wipe her mouth clean.
"Nothing, dear, we are discussing" Harry Potter and Philosopher Gila hold the girl in her arms, and Rowling also holds Jessica in her arms, teasing her daughter from time to time.
"Is that the book that my mother read to me?" Xia Xia opened her eyes wide. "Aunt Rowling wrote it ?!"
"Oh my dear Xia Xia, you listened to us for a long time and wouldn't have reacted now ?!" Angela shook her head and sighed, but Xia Xia didn't listen at all. Rowling narrowed her eyes and squeezed Jessica aside.
The girl could only continue to shake her head, but she felt warm when she saw the scene, and suddenly looked at Kate, who had been listening to them quietly: "Kate, can you give me my guitar?"
"What are you going to do?" Kate passed the guitar slightly surprised.
"I may have good words." Angela took it with a smile. Although a piece of work needs to be constantly modified, the usual inspiration also needs to be accumulated, just like the original "Light", but also because of acting records I wrote it with feelings, but she has not always paid attention to the occasional episodes of various emotions in her life. Although the songs sung by the vent in the manor a few days ago are not good, but the highlights There are many, so she decides that there will be similar things in the future, as long as the conditions permit, they should be sung or recorded at the first time, even if they will not be used in the future.
In fact, it was this move that made her music take another step in her own direction.
After the strings were plucked, Rowling both looked at the girl, and Angela smiled softly: "Are you going to listen to the song? It may not be good to sing at will, but it is a portrayal of my mood at the moment."
The sound of the guitar is gentle and smooth, which makes people feel very comfortable. The girl gently lifted her lips and sang this song about mother and daughter ...
