Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 172 Selling film and television rights

Ever since Kevin's new book "Jane Eyre" was made into a movie and created the history of British movies, Hudson can guess that the film and television copyright of any of Kevin's works will not be very low.

Especially this "Robinson Crusoe" is so hot in the book market today, there must be many people who are eyeing its film and television copyright, so he has already made plans in his heart, no matter what it is Get it on condition.

Before Kevin came here, he had already thought about the reserve price in his heart, which was 2 million pounds. After all, the previous work "Wuthering Heights" was also sold at this price, and now "Robinson Crusoe" must not be lower than this price.

So, Kevin said: "Dear Director Hudson, we are friends. So I don't want to lie. "Robinson Crusoe", I think it will take 2 million pounds to sell its film and television copyright. You As I said just now, this is a wonderful and exciting story, and for these, I must ask for a price worthy of it.”

"What? £2 million?" Dzeko couldn't help being surprised when he heard the figure.

Dzeko's surprise is also normal. After all, when he signed the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights", Hoffman's assistant also had this expression when he heard that 2 million pounds was needed.

"Yes, Mr. Dzeko. I'm sorry, that's my bottom line. To be honest, my previous Wuthering Heights was the same price. So, as a friend, I didn't give this Robinson Crusoe Increase the price. But it will not decrease. I hope you can understand." Kevin said.

Because Hudson is a kindness to Kevin, so Kevin will explain it as above. If it was someone else, he wouldn't be too lazy to say too much.

Dzeko is just an assistant. Hearing such a high price, he naturally didn't dare to express any opinions. At this time, he could only look at Hudson with a surprised expression. Hudson was really surprised when he heard Kevin said that he would only sell for 2 million pounds.

Of course, as a veteran British director. Of course, he also signed a £2 million film and television production. But those were written by well-known screenwriters in the UK. For a young writer or screenwriter like Kevin, no one has ever dared to ask for a price of 2 million pounds.

But Kevin has just made it clear that this is his lowest price, and he will not lower it any more. Therefore, Hudson thought in his heart that he should spend 2 million pounds to buy the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe".

In the end, the excitement of "Robinson Crusoe" made him decide to buy it. After all, he believed that with the popularity of Kevin and "Robinson Crusoe", as well as the wonderfulness of this book,

At that time, the box office will definitely shine like "Jane Eyre".

So director Hudson took a sip of tea, and then said: "Okay. £2 million is £2 million. After all, this work deserves the price."

"Director Hudson, are you sure..." Dzeko persuaded from the side at this time.

"Well, Dzeko, I think with Kevin's current reputation, this work would be worth this amount for anyone. Besides, it's so wonderful." Hudson said to Dzeko.

Dzeko is just an assistant, and Hudson doesn't even have any opinions. It was naturally inconvenient for him to say anything.

"Thank you Director Hudson for your appreciation. I think "Robinson Crusoe" will become more exciting under your filming."

"Kevin, in this way, we have reached a verbal agreement. I will ask someone to draw up a contract later. After the contract is signed, the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe" will belong to us."

"Of course, as a friend, as long as your company can meet my conditions, I will naturally have no objection." Kevin said straightforwardly.

Hudson has decided to buy and naturally won't delay too much time, so he immediately asked someone to prepare a contract.

Kevin sold the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe", and he was very happy in his heart. After all, this film and television copyright only belongs to him, which means that all the 2 million pounds he earned has gone into his card. Suddenly another £2 million more. Whoever it is is probably laughing in his heart.

After signing the contract, Hudson happily shook Kevin's hand, and then said: "Thank you for signing the film and television copyright of this work to me. I think it will definitely be created like "Jane Eyre". The wonders of British cinema."

"It will, because the director of this work is director Hudson, and he is a miracle worker."

Kevin has always given Hudson an unparalleled sense of confidence, which is one of the reasons why he dared to spend 2 million pounds to buy the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe".

While waiting to sign the contract, Kevin had already chatted with Hudson for a long time. So, not long after signing the contract, he also went back.

Director Hudson wanted Dzeko to drive him for a ride, but Kevin said he still had to go to school, so he refused.

But Kevin just took a taxi and hasn't arrived at school yet. Then the phone rang. These calls were all made by film and television companies.

"Hello, is this Mr. Kevin? We are very interested in your "Robinson Crusoe". Can we come out for tea and chat?"

"Mr. Kevin, do you still own the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe"? We intend to put it on the screen to let more people know. Yes, I think it must be a great work .”

"The "Robinson Crusoe" you wrote is so wonderful. Dear Mr. Kevin, can you sell me its film and television copyright? Yes, our film and television company is full of interest in it."

 …

Facts have proved that Director Hudson was correct in decisively buying the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe", because if he hesitated a little, or said that he needed to go back to a meeting to discuss and make a decision, the result might not belong to him.

Since the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe" has been sold to Krankland Film and Television Company, Kevin can only directly reject the kindness of these people.

When these callers heard that the film and television rights had signed with Hudson, they all regretted it. Especially Hoffman, who previously signed the film and television rights of Kevin's "Wuthering Heights".

When "Robinson Crusoe" book sales surpassed Paddyk's "The Horror Nobody Understands", he was thinking about whether to also sign the film and television rights of it along the way. But since he just got the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights" not long ago, and the film is still in progress, he hesitated for a while.

After their company meeting yesterday, he made up his mind to get the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe", so today he personally called Kevin. Unfortunately, it is too late to talk about it now.

Kevin used a peerless writing style and talent to make those people understand over and over again that missed opportunities are often just a moment. (To be continued..)
