""="('')"="()"\u003e

Alves' words clearly expressed their Golden Harvest Film Company's interest in Harry Potter. Net .. So, at this time, he is no longer cryptic.

So, Alves went on to say: "Mr. Kevin, Mr. Crawford, the purpose of our visit this time is to talk to you about the copyright issue of Harry Potter. Yes, I am sincere We feel that Harry Potter is a perfect fit for our film company."

"First of all, I am very grateful to you for the importance you place on Harry Potter. It's just that Harry Potter has three stories. Are you planning to sign off the film rights of all three stories?" Kevin asked.

"Of course not. After all, no one will directly make three films at once. Therefore, we plan to sign the first story "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". This is also the meaning of our general manager." Alves said .

"Yes! Mr. Kevin, we also like to read this story of yours, and we are deeply attracted by the plot described in your article. Therefore, we have reason to believe that when it is adapted into a movie, it will definitely be It's going to be a blockbuster," another of Alves' colleagues chimed in.

"Thank you, I hope it's as you said. I don't know how you want to sign the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"?" Kevin asked directly.

Alves heard it, thought for a moment, and then said: "Before coming here, we also thought about it. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is an excellent work, so we also matched him with a suitable one." Its price. That's £1.8 million."

"1.8 million pounds?" When Crawford heard that, his face was full of surprise. Yes, because he never thought that a novel could be sold for such a high film and television copyright fee.

But at this time, Kevin was obviously very calm, and he would not accept this price at all. Because the film and television copyrights of "Wuthering Heights" and "Robinson Crusoe" both sold for 2 million pounds. Now "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" can't be less than this number.

Not to mention anything else, just say that when the work "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was on Earth, it was made into a movie, and the box office has always been very high. Therefore, Kevin has already foreseen the effect of it being made into a movie in this parallel world. How could this measly £1.8 million be worth it?

Therefore, Kevin immediately refused: "No. Mr. Alves, I may not be able to accept your conditions."

"Mr. Kevin means that you are not willing to sign the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter" to our Golden Harvest Film Company for 1.8 million pounds?"

"Yes,

The Harry Potter story is my favorite story, so I must match a reasonable price for this favorite. " said Kevin.

When Crawford heard this, he couldn't figure it out. The £1.8 million price tag is already steep. What else does the boss want? You must know that many well-known writers may not be able to have this price. But Kevin was always his boss, since he even said that he couldn't accept the price. It's not convenient for him to say anything next to him.

Alves liked the story of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" very much, so he naturally wouldn't go back or give up. After thinking for a moment. He also said: "In this case, we are willing to pay 2 million pounds. Mr. Kevin, we have come here with sincerity, so you sign the film and television copyright of the story of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" Give it to us."

The price of 200 pounds is obviously only comparable to that of "Wuthering Heights" and "Robinson Crusoe". Kevin, who now owns a company and his own magazine, still finds it unacceptable. After all, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is the first work in the Harry Potter series, and its excellence is beyond doubt. And when it was on Earth, the box office of this movie was also very popular.

Crawford heard that the other party suddenly raised it to 2 million pounds, and thought that his boss would be happy to accept this price. But Kevin still shook his head at this time and said: "No, no, respected Mr. Alves. I believe you have known about my works before coming here. Therefore, I think you should also know about my previous works. The price of film and television copyright."

Yes, Alves and the others did check the film and television copyright status of Kevin's previous works before they came here, and they also knew that the film and television copyright of Kevin's latest two novels were sold for 2 million pounds. Therefore, they will directly offer 1.8 million at the beginning.

Alves has already thought about it, if Kevin cannot accept the first offer of 1.8 million pounds. Then it has to be opened to 2 million pounds. After all, his first two works were sold for 2 million pounds. If they can be equal to them, maybe Kevin will consider signing him. But to the surprise of Alves and others, Kevin did not accept the price of 2 million pounds.

Alves has already obtained the order from the leadership above, that is, no matter what, he must sign the film and television copyright of Kevin's work. After all, everyone knows what Kevin's work means. They will not give up so easily.

then. Alves added: "Then Mr. Kevin, what kind of conditions do you need to sign a contract with us for the film and television copyright of the story of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"? For our sincerity, maybe You should think about it. Okay?"

"Of course, I can feel your sincerity. And I also deeply thank you for your attention to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". It's just that I said that they are all stories I like, so for this A favorite, I think the film and television copyright of any of their works must be 2.5 million pounds to be signed." Kevin directly stated his request.

"What? £2.5 million?" Hearing such a figure. Alves' two colleagues were surprised in unison.

Yes, this figure is simply an impossible price for ordinary writers or famous writers. Therefore, after they heard Kevin say it, they immediately felt that the other party was a little bit like a lion.

Alves is a person who has seen big scenes, so naturally he will not be particularly surprised and disappointed by this price at this time. In his opinion, everything is negotiable.

So, Alves continued: "Mr. Kevin, 2.5 million pounds is indeed a bit too high. Can you make a concession for our sincerity?"

Just because he had investigated some information about Kevin, Alves also knew that the movie adapted from Kevin's novel had achieved a miracle at the box office of British movies. The current "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is so good, it is completely hopeful to replicate this "miracle". Therefore, as long as Kevin can make concessions, perhaps he will choose to sign without hesitation. (To be continued.)
