Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

"That's right. "Wuthering Heights" is simply one of the best British novels. Who would refuse such a work, that would be blind." Athena also echoed at this time.

But she didn't know that Hoffman probably didn't like hearing her words. Because in this regard, he did have the idea of ​​rejecting "Wuthering Heights". When Athena said this, she certainly did not mean that he had been blind.

Hoffman glanced at Athena with an unhappy expression, then quickly turned a smile and said to Kevin: "Mr. Kevin's "Wuthering Heights" I also like it very much, and we also believe that If it can be put on the screen, it is estimated that it will be praised by more people."

"No way? Mr. Hoffman, how can I say that I am also a newcomer writer, and they probably won't buy the newcomer writer's account."

"No, no, Mr. Kevin is different from ordinary new writers. Your works are full of tension and full of infinite possibilities. It can be seen from the fact that "Jane Eyre" has created a legend in the British film and television industry. So , We feel that "Wuthering Heights" can also create a miracle like "Jane Eyre". Dear Mr. Kevin, will you agree to sell me the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights?" Hoffman continued to humbly Said.

Since "Jane Eyre" became popular, Hoffman could already foresee the marketability of the script written by Kevin. He also knew what Wuthering Heights stood for. Perhaps it can also create another film and television miracle like "Jane Eyre". At that time, I will gain both fame and fortune. What's the point of being humble now.

Athena originally wanted to say something in agreement, but thinking of Hoffman's look just now, she simply fell silent. To avoid being scolded by the other party after returning.

"The popularity of "Jane Eyre" is just its luck, okay? Mr. Hoffman is not afraid that "Wuthering Heights" will not have such luck? Are you not afraid that the story written by a new writer like me will not sell at the box office?"

Kevin would not easily agree to sell him the copyright of the film and television. Who told them that they looked down on others and despised themselves as a newcomer writer, so they couldn't sell at the box office.

"Mr. Kevin really knows how to joke. The box office of hundreds of millions is not something that can be controlled by luck. And I have watched all of Mr. Kevin's works, which are simply great. Therefore, I have reason to believe that its film and television market is Very good. As long as you agree to sell me the film and television copyright of Wuthering Heights." Hoffman continued to beg.

"Kevin, it seems that Mr. Hoffman is sincere. He values ​​the film market of "Wuthering Heights" so much." Ennie spoke at this time.

As I said before, according to the British law of this parallel world, when publishing houses sign film and television copyrights and other copyrights with other units, they must obtain the author's consent before they can take effect. What's more, when "Wuthering Heights" signed the contract with the London Literary Publishing House, it was a sharing contract. The author's own opinion is even more obvious.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Enni must call Kevin every time she discusses film and television copyright. This time, the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights" has to be approved by Kevin before Hoffman can truly own it.

On the way here, Hoffman kept begging Enni to say a few good words for her. Although Enni agreed with her mouth. But I still respect Kevin's opinion in my heart.

"Yes, Mr. Kevin. I came to discuss with you with sincerity. You agree to sell me the film and television copyright of Wuthering Heights?" Hoffman continued.

"Well, it turned out that Hoffman came here with sincerity. Of course there is no problem. "Wuthering Heights" likes those sincere friends.

said Kevin.

"That's great, thank you Mr. Kevin for agreeing."

After hearing that Kevin finally agreed to sell the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights" to himself, Hoffman's face became excited. Because it means that you have eliminated all your competitors. This is a sense of superiority!

"However, I wonder if Mr. Hoffman can agree to my terms?" Kevin said again.

"Don't worry, as long as you agree to grant the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights" to our Zacks Film and Television Company, all conditions are negotiable." Hoffman patted his chest and promised.

"The film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights" is priced at 2 million pounds." Kevin said resolutely.

"2 million pounds?" Athena, Hoffman's secretary, couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise after hearing this.

Yes, the script fee of 2 million pounds is relatively high in this parallel world of England. Except for a few prestigious screenwriters who can reach this level, others do not. Therefore, when Kevin, as a newcomer writer, said that if the price was sky-high, Athena would say it in surprise.

Enni didn't expect Kevin to ask such a high price. But as a person on the same line as Kevin, the higher the price of the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights", the more profitable the London Literary Publishing House will be. This is a good thing for both parties. It's just that she was worried about whether Hoffman could accept the price.

"Mr. Kevin, are you sure you need 2 million pounds to sell us the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights?" Hoffman did have a hesitant expression, after all, 2 million pounds is not a small amount.

"Yes, this is the lowest price I can accept. I am very sorry, Mr. Hoffman. I have to do Wuthering Heights. As you say, it is so wonderful. I want a wonderful A novel must have a high price," Kevin replied.

With the box office hit of "Jane Eyre" and the classic "Wuthering Heights", Kevin is not worried about the issue of film and television copyright at all. Therefore, even if Hoffman did not dare to buy the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights" in the end, Kevin has nothing to lose.

Hoffman thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we agree to the price of 2 million pounds. As long as you agree to grant us the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights."

"Of course! Mr. Hoffman is so sincere. I like to be friends with sincere people." Kevin said with a smile.

It was also a brave move for Hoffman to make the decision, although he hesitated at first. But think of the hundreds of millions of box office miracles created by "Jane Eyre" written by Kevin. He made up his mind.

Besides, as long as the box office of "Wuthering Heights" is good, the 2 million pounds is nothing at all. After all, the film and television industry is a profitable industry. The primary goal now is to sign the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights".

Seeing that Hoffman agreed to the condition so quickly, Enni began to smile. Then he said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Hoffman, "Wuthering Heights" will definitely benefit your Zacks Film and Television Company a lot. After all, no one will resist those great works."

"Thanks, I think it will. God will also bless my sincerity to Wuthering Heights," Hoffman said.
