Chapter 304 I Am Confused. How Can We Catch the Author?

Time passed quickly as he happily ate, drank and had fun.

Soon, it was 7:30 pm on March 6th, China time.

In a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, staff were quickly setting up the scene and checking the lines.

The lobby of the villa was arranged to look like a corner of an auditorium.

Two rows of long tables were filled with Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans, grilled sausages and other foods that appeared repeatedly in the novel.

There were golden and red hanging ribbons hanging in the sky, printed with the majestic lion symbolizing Gryffindor.

When Chen Xiao walked into the lobby, he saw a brown-haired woman in her early thirties sitting on a chair in the corner, reading the process document carefully.

He had met this person yesterday. She was Ms. Sophie from the literary agency.

This time, the literary agency sent four employees to assist in the event.

They have held many such meetings and have rich experience in handling the relationship between authors and readers, and protecting authors' information through network protection.

Chen Xiao walked over and greeted him, "Hello, Ms. Sophie."

"Director Chen, I've heard of you for a long time."

Although it was Sophie's second time meeting him, she was still excited.

She had worked with internationally renowned writers.

But this was her first time working with a top international director, especially the director of "The Truman Show" which she liked very much.

However, her professional qualities prevented her from talking much about her personal hobbies, but she talked about work.

"Director Chen, I'm wearing headphones, so you can contact me if you have anything."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After a while, Sophie spoke English according to her previous interview habits, and translated it into various languages ​​in real time through cutting-edge translation technology.

Chen Xiao would stay in the next room and type to interact with the audience.

After all, owls can't talk.

Don't worry about the speed, his hand speed is at the level of an e-sports player, and he can type faster than he speaks.

Just when the scene was being prepared in full swing.

Many people in the publishing industry, the game industry, and the film and television industry were also waiting for the meeting to begin.

In the business development department of a game company in California.

The minister was sitting in front of the computer and reading the materials.

After reading "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" last week, an idea popped into her mind - using this IP to create an open world role-playing game, where players explore and adventure in Hogwarts.

After having this idea, she reread the novel and found that the original world view, map, skills, economic system, and resource system are quite complete, which is convenient for game production and player adaptation.

Using cutting-edge technology, carefully polishing and producing, and releasing on multiple platforms, it will definitely attract tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of players.

But I haven't contacted the author.

Today is an important breakthrough.

Of course, she is also very curious, who is this author?

Like her, employees from all walks of life are waiting in front of the computer because of curiosity and business opportunities.

The children are much more excited.

In a house in the capital.

Two 8-year-old twin boys are jumping around in front of the computer in the bedroom.

The elder brother waved the cat toy in the air, "Mom said that Dylan means sea elf, and he should be an artistic uncle or grandfather, right?"

The younger brother sat in front of the computer and shook his index finger, "No, it's better to be a teenager."

"Don't want a teenager, it's better to be a cold magician!"

"No! Too cold!"

Hearing that the two children were about to quarrel, the father in the living room felt a headache.

The two of them have different ideal authors. When the real author comes out, they might both quarrel.

Just thinking about it makes me crazy.

He slapped the phone on the sofa and said with anger:

"You two should be honest! Where is the wizard? The author is just an ordinary person, just like me, an ordinary person."

The elder brother pouted, "I don't want a Muggle like you!"

Dad took a deep breath.

I can't stand it anymore, you bastard! Who are you talking about as a Muggle?

Mom walked in from the balcony and sighed:

"This author really shouldn't be anonymous. So many children like Hogwarts nowadays and are full of imagination about the author. Whether it is an elegant old gentleman or a humorous big brother, there must be someone who is dissatisfied."

Dad walked to her side, "Wife, don't worry about the author, worry about us, these two things don't cry later."

As soon as the voice fell, the two brothers were heard to be quiet.

Dad went over and saw that the meeting had begun.

On the computer screen, the host was wearing a wizard robe, holding a magic wand and smiling and greeting: "Hello everyone, welcome to the magic world. I am the host Sophie."

After a simple opening speech, the host introduced the process.

In short, the author greeted and performed an online magic show for everyone, and then told the story at the beginning of the second part.

Then there was the hand-made session, teaching everyone to make magic wands, magic hats and other small objects in the magic world.

In addition, there were virtual background group photos, online games, lucky draws and other small activities.

After the host introduced, he smiled and said: "Next, let's welcome our author - Dylan!"

In front of the screen, the two brothers nervously murmured: "Don't be an ordinary Muggle, don't be an ordinary Muggle!" "Handsome big brother, handsome big brother!"

Just then, a fat white owl fell from the sky with a letter in its mouth, landed on the table in front of the camera, put the letter on the stand on the table, then faced the camera and waved.

The father in front of the screen was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

Is this just a virtual image?

He has also participated in such meetings, where the author does not show up, but uses words or asks others to represent him to meet readers.

He can accept it, but can these two children accept it? Don't make a fuss at night.

Dad was about to explain, but who would have thought that-

The two beasts in front of him burst into excitement at the same time, with excitement flashing in their eyes, cheering:

"Hedwig! Is it Hedwig?"

"Owl, my dear owl. Can the admission letter come out of the screen!"

The room was suddenly filled with the excited cheers of the two children.

Dad asked in confusion: "Who is Hedwig?"

The elder brother replied: "Harry's messenger and the best pet."

"Dad, you go out, we are going to play with Dylan."

The corners of the father's mouth trembled slightly.

He also wants to become an owl, so he can do whatever they want, right?

Okay, just don't cry.

At the same time, young fans from all over the world are quite excited.

The curiosity of older fans was not satisfied, and they were a little disappointed. But the owl on the screen, which matched the magic world 100%, quickly filled the gap.

Fans are fine, but the film and television companies, game companies and publishers who are waiting in front of the screen are really annoying.

What is this?

Owl?

Virtual image?

How is this related? Crazy!
