Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 147 Crazy Phone Call

Since the press conference, Kevin has not left London, but continues to live in the Sykes Hotel. Nok Ah Wu, the manager of the Sykes Hotel, also recognized Kevin after reading the news, so he planned to waive the bill for Kevin.

"Kevin, I think I should provide some help to our British writers, don't you? You must know that your "Why I Was Born" is so wonderful, it has become a guiding light in my life." Nock A Five said to Kevin.

"Thank you, respected Mr. Noke Awu, I think God will bless those kind people."

"Thank you for your blessing, oh, you can stay here for as many days as you like, don't worry, I have already ordered the following, they will try their best to meet your requirements." Noke Ah Wu sincerely said to Kevin Said.

Naturally, Kevin would not be greedy for these things, and he planned to return to Edinburgh after a while. After all, to attend the press conference this time, I have already asked the school for a few days off, and now I have an additional position of editor-in-chief of literature, so things are naturally busy.

Kevin chatted with Noke Ah Wu for about half an hour before leaving and returning to his room, but just as he sat down, his cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hi, hello, is this Mr Kevin? I'm from Scottish Literary Press. Can I have a chat with you?"

"Yes, I'm Kevin."

"Oh, we want to talk to you about the cooperation of the new book "Robinson Crusoe". Please rest assured, Mr. Kevin. No matter what, as long as you can let us publish "Robinson Crusoe", what conditions do you propose? I promise you everything." The person from the Scottish Literature Publishing House said politely.

Kevin would have expected such a day to come, after all, the moment he announced his new book, many people who cared about literature were watching. Now that their attention is so high, they will definitely not miss this "Robinson Crusoe".

"Scottish Literary Publishing House? If I remember correctly, it is one of the best publishing houses in Scotland, and it publishes many excellent works every year." Kevin said.

"Yes. Since Mr. Kevin knows the strength of our Scottish Literary Publishing House, please feel free to sign "Robinson Crusoe" to us. Oh, we can make an appointment to chat slowly. Don't worry, You are free to make your own demands."

The other party heard Kevin praise their publishing house. I am very happy in my heart. Because it means Kevin has some knowledge of his company.

In fact, as Kevin said, the strength of the Scottish Literary Publishing House is the best in Scotland.

They have also published many best-selling masterpieces over the years. For example, last year's smash hit novel "Girls Under the Lamp" was published by Scottish Literary Publishing House. And the book also won last year's quarterly sales champion.

Kevin is no longer the young man with the head of the text. Back then, he took the manuscript of "Jane Eyre" to submit and was ignored and thrown into the trash can. In the end, Enni bought it for a price. In the end it was published, but because of the buyout, he didn't get much remuneration for the manuscript. And the film and television remuneration has to be divided in half with the other party.

But now, he has begun to emerge in the literary world. He wouldn't be so stupid as to sell all the rights to the publishing house. Besides, with his current fame, he no longer has to worry about no one signing a contract with him as he did back then.

Therefore, he must fight for a different treatment for his new book "Robinson Crusoe". Therefore, Kevin put forward his own request to the other party: "Thank you for your attention to my new book. I just want to make one condition. I only sign the text copyright for this new book, and I want 10% of the royalties. If you If we can agree to this condition, maybe we will have a chance to have a good talk."

"What? You are only willing to sign the text copyright to us? What about the film and television copyright? We can discuss this."

The people from the Scottish Literary Publishing House were a little surprised when they heard Kevin's conditions. After all, they came here for other copyrights besides Kevin's text copyright. But now Kai Kevin has proposed that he is only willing to sign the copyright of the text with himself, which really makes them a little disappointed.

"Yes. If you can agree to my request, then I decide to talk to you. Otherwise, I really can only thank you for your consideration." Kevin said resolutely.

"But Mr. Kevin, even the most popular old authors are willing to sign film and television copyrights with publishing houses. So, can you think about it, maybe we can give you a high share of film and television copyrights." Scotland The Literary Publishing House did not give up at this time and continued to lobby.

"My dear sir. This is my only request, if you agree. Then we will make an appointment to have a good chat."

"Okay, then let's think about it. Mr. Kevin, please don't rush to sign "Robinson Crusoe" to other people?" the person from the Scottish Literary Publishing House asked.

"I can't decide this, maybe when other publishers show their sincerity enough. You know, even God will be moved by those sincere people, let alone me." Kevin said.

Hearing what Kevin said, the other party became anxious. But he didn't dare to make a quick decision. After all, Kevin's request is a bit too harsh, at least in this parallel world of England.

Because, as the people from the Scottish Literary Publishing House said, many popular writers are willing to sign the copyright of film and television to the publishing house when they sign new books. Of course, due to their fame, the manuscript remuneration naturally takes up the bulk. However, there are not many people who just signed a contract with the publishing house for the copyright of the text, as Kevin proposed.

This condition really caused a headache for the Scottish Literary Publishing House. Finally, in desperation, they had no choice but to hang up the phone with Kevin, and then held a meeting with relevant colleagues to discuss.

Just after the people from the Scottish Literature Publishing House hung up the phone with Kevin, Kevin's cell phone kept ringing, and within an hour, he answered one call after another. And it's all about the new book "Robinson Crusoe".

"Hi, hello, are you Mr. Kevin? We want to talk to you about the new book "Robinson Crusoe". As long as you sign it to me, I will do anything."

"Hello, Mr. Kevin, can you sell "Robinson Crusoe" to our publishing house? If possible, we will try our best to accommodate your request."

"Kevin, I used to be a student at the University of Edinburgh, so I count it as an alumni. In terms of this relationship, see if we can make an appointment to have a good talk. I love your new book "Robinson Crusoe." Notes is full of interest. So sign it to me."

"Kevin, can you sign your "Robinson Crusoe" to our publishing house? Can we arrange a place to meet and talk about it?" (To be continued)
