Although the Harry Potter series was only published in 1997, the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, had already been written in 1994. Now, JK Rowling was writing the second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
However, because the publishers were not optimistic about these so-called wizard novels, JK Rowling, a single mother and a writer without any job, could only rely on the social welfare she received from Weibo every month and squeeze herself into a coffee shop to write her novel.
Until 1997, there were still publishers who had a discerning eye and saw the potential of the Harry Potter series.
However, all of this was brought forward by Boss Jia. In the next few days in the UK, considering that it was very troublesome to set up a publishing house, Boss Jia generously took out 2 million USD and bought a well-established publishing house in the UK that was not doing well. Then, he asked the publishing house to start preparing for the simultaneous publication of Harry Potter in the UK and the United States.
The world of magic was about to appear in front of everyone.
When Boss Jia was done with the relevant matters, the entire Daqian Tour Group had basically finished their trip to the UK. As a rich boss, Boss Jia also gave the members of the tour group 1000 pounds as spending money, so the members of the tour group all returned with a full load. Only Liu Rong did not buy anything.
Later, Boss Jia found out that Liu Rong had changed the 1000 pounds into RMB and deposited it in the bank as his son's marriage fund. Boss Jia could not help but sigh. Liu Rong was the best father in the world!
But he was also a first-class miser and an idiot when it came to managing money.
However, when the members of the tour group returned, they took a normal passenger plane, while Boss Jia took his family and flew directly to the Hawaiian Islands in a private plane.
On February 15, 1995, after a 60-day tugboat voyage, the Titanic finally arrived at its destination, the Hawaiian Islands.
On this day, the Hawaiian Islands could be said to be a sea of people, at least tens of thousands of people gathered at the port, many of them specially flew from the US.
Although 80 years had passed since the Titanic went silent, all the survivors of the Titanic had not died. At this time, there were about ten survivors of the Titanic who were still alive.
That included a 92-year-old man whom Jon Landau was supporting.
The old man's name was Michelle, and he was the youngest survivor of the Titanic. He had a twin brother, and both of them boarded the Titanic together under his mother's lead. In the end, his mother tried her best to send them to the lifeboat before she died, but she fell into the sea and didn't even have a corpse left.
The brothers later became legends of their time and were widely reported by the media throughout the United States. They were once known as the Titanic Brothers.
However, although the elder brother managed to escape the Titanic, he did not escape the war. The elder brother later died on the European battlefield. As for the younger brother, he lived until now. Finally, with the help of Jon Landau, he saw the rebuilt Titanic.
Along with Michelle, there were dozens of reporters.
"They're here! They're here! " Suddenly, someone saw the sound of a tugboat on the sea level in the distance. After that, the huge Titanic also appeared. After about half an hour, the Titanic safely docked and anchored in the port.
"Sir, after you!" Accompanied by Jon Landau and Jia Yapeng, Michelle boarded the rebuilt Titanic.
When he first boarded the ship, he couldn't help but tear up. "It's too similar! It's too similar! "Michelle murmured.
When everyone entered the cabin, Michelle's eyes were filled with more tears. He had a third-class cabin and said, "This is the cabin I slept in back then. It's exactly like this, exactly the same, there are no changes!"
"Oh my god, how did you know to hang a portrait of Johnson here? You actually restored it. You did a great job! Great!! " Michelle became completely choked with sobs. He was so excited that he almost fainted. Jon Landau hurriedly took him off the ship and sent him directly to the nearest hospital.
But of course, the reporters behind him couldn't. With their wonderful writing skills, the news that Michelle was too excited because the new Titanic was so similar to the real Titanic that he had to go to the hospital for treatment quickly spread throughout the United States in the next few days. This also made more Americans extremely curious about the new Titanic. They all wanted to see what the restored Titanic looked like.
And the movie that was made with the Titanic was so magical.
In the next few days, the Titanic was first anchored in the port, and all the actors began to shoot the scenes on the shore.
A week later, the scenes on the shore were completed, and all the actors moved to the ship. Under the guidance of the tugboat, the Titanic sailed to a position about 100 nautical miles away from the port. Then, all the crew members stayed on the Titanic and began to shoot the scenes in the cabin without stopping.
It was worth mentioning that the actors really stayed on the Titanic. They slept in a carefully decorated first-class cabin and second-class cabin on the mountain. Every day after filming, they went directly to the cabin to sleep. It was extremely convenient, and it became an unforgettable experience for many of the actors.
But these were not the highlights. The real highlight was a few months later, when all the scenes in the cabin were completed, and the shocking scene of the sinking of the Titanic was broadcasted worldwide.
After reviewing the Titanic's arrival ceremony, Boss Jia brought his family to Hawaii for more than 10 days. After that, the family returned to Yuzhang City. This place was much more fun than London.
At the same time, in Fusang, a new war was about to start around the VCD player.
And the one who started this war was our friend Sony.
It had been more than two months since Sony and Nintendo held their respective press conferences for their game consoles. In these two months, Sony and Nintendo were in heaven while the other was in hell.
But it was not Nintendo that was in heaven. Nintendo was now in hell.
Just like in history, Nintendo released their VB game console, which was claimed to be able to change the history of video games. But after a month of release, it was in a terrible state.
In the beginning, the VB was selling well. After all, the head-mounted game console was too attractive. But the problem was, when the gamers tried the VB, they all felt that it was a scam.
In less than 10 minutes, the user would feel dizzy. At the same time, the graphics of the game console were not as good as the graphics of the F&C games of the era. Simply put, the graphics could not keep up with the times. At the same time, the game console could kill the user.
Thus, in January, VB's monthly sales dropped from 200,000 units to less than 10,000 units. All the major distributors, in order to sell VB quickly, offered a 50% discount or even a 30% discount for the first time, but there were still very few buyers.
On the other hand, Nintendo's PS console started to enter the heavens. Many gamers doubted the PS console because it was Sony's first console. Many gamers even said that a PS console that could not install Nintendo games was rubbish.
After that, everyone started to get excited.
That was because the graphics of the PlayStation game console was too powerful. It was so powerful that it could not be any more powerful. It crushed all of Nintendo's game consoles. Gamers expressed that this was the true next-generation game console. It was too good!
