Los Angeles.
Golden Dawn Entertainment Group Headquarters.
"Ms. Avril Hassan, please tell me solemnly, have the three publishing houses, White Castle Publishing House, Smile Publishing House, and Brown Bear Duke Publishing House, been integrated?" CEO Victor asked seriously.
"Mr. Jones, the Golden Dawn Publishing Group, formed by the three publishing houses, has been integrated in 3 months."
Ms. Avril Hassan, 49 years old, graduated from Columbia University with a Ph.D. in literature. She once worked at Random House, serving as associate editor, editor, and director of the Random House Pennsylvania branch. In 1996, she was promoted to Senior Vice President of Random House.
She was a senior talent headhunted by Kyle.
She currently serves as the president of Golden Dawn Publishing Group, a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group. After taking office, her first task was to integrate the three publishing houses.
It can be said that she has rendered outstanding service!
"Mr. Jones, our publishing group has established a book distribution channel covering the entire United States, including Canada and Mexico. The distributed books cover professional academic subjects such as medicine, biology, computer science, economics, law, physics, mathematics, psychology, chemistry, history, sociology, environmental science, philosophy, linguistics, and geography."
"Of course, our main business is children's literature and young adult literature."
"In these two businesses, even if our strength is not as good as Penguin Publishing House and Random House, we are still enough to be called the third strongest in the United States!"
"As of yesterday, the entire Golden Dawn Publishing Group, from myself down, has 1,580 employees."
"The cooperating higher education institutions include Stanford University, Columbia University, Harvard University, and 17 other higher education institutions."
"The number of authors cooperating in children's literature and young adult literature, our main business, is as high as 22,000."
"At the same time, throughout North America, we have also established good cooperative relationships with bookstores in first-tier and second-tier cities."
...
Although Ms. Avril Hassan is a woman, her ability in the publishing industry is indeed astonishing. After the integration, the Golden Dawn Publishing Group is much stronger than before the integration.
"Well done!"
CEO Victor did not stint on praise.
In fact, ever since Victor became the group's CEO, he has been constantly learning. He is a smart person and knows that if he doesn't improve, he will inevitably be eliminated.
Kyle, as the group's chairman, is not a philanthropist.
If you don't have the ability, why should you hold a high position?
If you don't have the ability, why should you get stock option rewards?
The workplace has always been like this!
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jones," Ms. Hassan said.
"Where is the compliment? This is your ability matching your position. Well, this time I came here, I have a task for you and for the Golden Dawn Publishing Group," Victor said.
"Please speak."
Victor nodded, then took out two books from the cabinet.
"Harry Potter 1";
"Harry Potter 2";
"Uh? Are these two books? No problem, I will take care of it," Ms. Hassan said after taking the books.
Victor shook his head.
"Ms. Hassan, you don't understand what I mean."
Victor said seriously: "For these two books, the group's requirement for you and the entire publishing group is to promote them with all your might, and the group will provide you with 20 million US dollars in funding, allocated in three installments. After the promotion of the first and second parts of 'Harry Potter', film adaptations will be launched, and at the same time, game and other copyrights will also be operated."
The words fell.
Ms. Hassan nodded heavily.
With the conversation reaching this point, how could she not understand?
The "Harry Potter" series will be the top priority of the entire publishing group's future work, and even the parent company, Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, will fully support it.
"This is going to be a big move!" Ms. Hassan thought to herself.
...
In the afternoon.
Kyle, who had returned to Los Angeles a few days later, came to the group company headquarters after finishing a stage of production work for "300 Spartans."
"Boss, I have already arranged the publishing matters of 'Harry Potter' for Ms. Hassan, and I will also pay attention to it at any time," Victor said respectfully.
Kyle patted Victor on the shoulder and smiled: "I trust you to handle things."
In fact, Kyle didn't worry much about the operation of the entire group, including the supervision of various subsidiaries, because Victor was truly amazing.
The two books, "Harry Potter" Part 1 and Part 2, will be the top priority of the publishing group for some time to come.
Why did the "Harry Potter" film series have such an astonishing influence worldwide?
In addition to the excellence of "Harry Potter" itself, it was also the effect of promotion.
In the original timeline, the reason why "Harry Potter" was so successful and created an online and offline market worth hundreds of billions of dollars, Warner Bros. Entertainment Group definitely contributed greatly.
If it were a small company, it might also be able to operate "Harry Potter" successfully, but it would never have the influence of a hundred-billion-dollar market!
A powerful enterprise can maximize the value of a book!
...
The Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, created by Kyle, is not weak, but people should know themselves. The Golden Dawn Entertainment Group still has a considerable gap compared to Warner Bros. Entertainment.
Or rather, this gap is astonishing!
However... Kyle refused to admit defeat!
"We don't have perfect overseas distribution channels, so we can only conquer overseas cinemas with one high-quality, high-cost film after another, forcibly opening up their film markets."
"'300 Spartans' is the first step, followed closely by the 'Harry Potter' series and the 'Spider-Man' series!"
Kyle murmured to himself: "If it really doesn't work, I'll create the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I don't believe it won't succeed."
...
A few days later.
The first "Harry Potter" book is about to be released across the United States...
At the same time, the promotion of "Harry Potter" has already been in full swing!
The two major television networks under Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, UPN and WB, also began to fully cooperate with the parent company's big IP plan.
The advertisements for the "Harry Potter" book in the broadcast program "America's Got Talent" were extremely fierce.
In front of the four judges, all the "Harry Potter" books were listed. The host, Will Smith, even personally promoted it!
"You ask me what 'Harry Potter' is all about?"
"Then I can tell you all that it is a very, very, very good young adult fantasy story."
"You see my dark circles, right? Well, I'm black, so you might not see them very clearly, but I stayed up late last night, reading the 'Harry Potter' book all night."
"I absolutely love it!"
As the most popular male actor in Hollywood at the moment, Will Smith's personal testimony directly aroused the interest of many live audiences and audiences in front of the TV.
Of course, no one is a philanthropist!
Kyle paid 300,000 US dollars for Will Smith's few short sentences!
The overwhelming "Harry Potter" advertisements in the "America's Got Talent" program simply made countless viewers sick of it.
Many people complained endlessly.
"Damn show crew, damn Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, they are simply unscrupulous and crazy to promote this book!" a viewer complained.
