Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"Amusement park development?"

Xia Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

To be precise, it should be George Jackson, the head of Universal Pictures' Asia-Pacific region.

"Or you could say it's theme park development," George said. "Based on our company's internal assessment, your company's IPs are all extremely valuable, especially the Transformers and Harry Potter series. Both of these IPs have a potential value of tens of billions, and if we can cooperate in developing them, it will bring a lot of profits."

Therefore, after careful consideration, our company has sent me to discuss this matter with you in detail. The plan is to integrate some of our two companies' intellectual property (IP) to jointly develop a theme park. We will contribute the IP equally, and the revenue will be split equally. This has excellent business prospects.

George Jackson's expression appeared very sincere.

In fact, Xia Yuan was quite welcoming of Universal Pictures' arrival.

After all, Heye and Universal have had a series of collaborations before.

At that time, He Ye had just entered the Hollywood market not long ago, and because it offended 21st Century Fox, it was basically facing a blacklist from the entire Hollywood.

Ultimately, it was only after Universal Music intervened and helped resolve the issue that it was properly handled.

Most importantly, the Batman series under Heye is also co-produced and developed with Universal Pictures.

Even now, this IP is still undergoing continuous collaboration.

Therefore, Xia Yuan showed remarkable interest in the invitation from his old partner.

He also directly expressed his interest, asking George Jackson to give a proper explanation of how the so-called IP theme park would be organized.

Then, as George Jackson recounted his story, the so-called IP theme park project was unveiled to Xia Yuan.

"This will be a collection of movie worlds, which we can call 'Heye Universal Studios Park'!"

George Jackson immediately opened the PowerPoint presentation.

To put it simply, it's a movie-themed amusement park.

The amusement park is divided into different zones, each with a different IP.

Then, within these parks, visitors can immerse themselves in the experience, feeling as if they have entered a movie world, and personally experience unprecedented joy.

For example, a Transformers-themed park could produce Transformers in 1:1 scale.

Then, while exhibiting, visitors can also experience an immersive live show experience.

Another example is the Harry Potter filming location.

That would allow for the construction of a highly accurate replica of Hogwarts Castle.

Then tourists can buy school uniforms, magic wands, and other related items.

It's even possible to implant chips into these wands and set up facilities in the park where visitors can recite specific spells and wave their wands with specific gestures to interact with the facilities and directly experience the feeling of using magic with a wand.

They could even launch themed hotels where guests can stay in Hogwarts student dormitories.

It can also recreate the meals and delicacies from movies and novels.

It has to be said that even Xia Yuan was intrigued upon hearing it; it was indeed a brilliant idea.

The current situation is that, based on internal analysis by HeYe, the HeYe Business Department has concluded that there is great potential for developing the Harry Potter IP.

This is a gold mine that can be continuously mined.

However, they haven't had time to excavate it yet.

It must be said that there are reasons why established capital remains established and has stood the test of time for so many years.

For example, Universal has clearly realized the importance of the IPs held by Heye.

In fact, their suggestion was excellent.

After all, Universal also produces some very high-value IPs.

The joint construction of this amusement park is a win-win cooperation. Each party contributes 50% of the construction costs.

Xia Yuan thought the proposal was feasible.

Of course, he didn't agree immediately, but said he would consider it.

He needs to discuss it with his senior first.

However, the final result was still the same.

Since she started making money, Tang Ying has become less interested in company matters.

I am immersed in the joy of taking care of my child every day.

Xiao Yichen is already old enough to run errands.

Her assessment of the matter was: "You decide, don't ask me. Such a trivial matter is not worthy of my involvement as a five-star business genius."

She made a little money easily and then became arrogant.

Then, Xia Yuan sent a reply to Huanqiu.

We can cooperate!

And so, after the documents and contracts were successfully signed, a large-scale cultural tourism project that would one day amaze countless tourists around the world was finalized.

Of course, for Xia Yuan, having signed this contract, he also has more important work to do.

From the start of construction to its completion and finally to the opening, the construction period for this project will definitely be extended by a considerable amount of time, given that it is a large-scale project in itself.

During this period, he needs to complete the Harry Potter IP as quickly as possible.

This doesn't mean he should finish filming the movie in the shortest amount of time; that's simply unrealistic.

Rather, it means that the novel needs to be published as soon as possible.

The film can be released once a year, which can maintain the popularity of the IP for a long time and ensure its enduring popularity to the greatest extent.

However, it is essential to show the complete story to the fans in the shortest possible time.

And so, Xia Yuan tragically returned to his writing life, frantically writing every day and living like an author.

At this moment, Xia Yuan is working on his novel at his desk in his office.

First is the second book, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

Xia Yuan pounded away on the keyboard.

That day, another argument broke out at the breakfast table at No. 4 Privet Drive. Early in the morning, Mr. Vernon Dursley was awakened by a loud, strange noise coming from his nephew Harry's room.

“This is the third time this week!” he roared across the table. “If you can’t control that owl, get the hell out of here!”

Harry tried to explain again.

"It's feeling stifled. It's used to flying outside. If only I could let it out at night..."

“Do you think I’m a fool?” Uncle Vernon roared, a strand of fried egg dangling from his thick beard. “I know what happens when you let an owl out.”

He and his wife, Penny, exchanged a somber glance.

Harry wanted to argue, but his words were drowned out by a long, loud burp from his cousin Dudley.

"I'd also like some cured meat."

“There’s plenty in the frying pan, honey,” Aunt Penny said, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at her big, muscular son. “We need to get you fattened up quickly… The school food makes me uncomfortable…”

The content is being improved rapidly.

Time passed quickly, day by day. (End of Chapter)
