Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

"Kevin, we are friends, so I think we can talk about the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" as openly as possible." Director Hudson said first.

"Well, respected Director Hudson, I just like your straightforwardness. I wonder how much your company will pay for the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"?" Kevin also said directly Asked.

"2 million pounds. We learned that the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe" that you signed with director Hudson before is also 2 million pounds. Therefore, we will not give you less this time." Cranked Film and Television A colleague of the company said.

Hudson nodded in satisfaction. After all, the price of 2 million pounds is also a very moderate and reasonable price, and he thought Kevin would not refuse it.

However, Kevin's attitude is still the same as facing the people of Golden Harvest Film Company. For the stories of the "Harry Potter" series, the film and television copyright of any work cannot be lower than 2.5 million pounds.

So, Kevin shook his head and said: "No, no, maybe 2 million pounds won't let me sell its film and television rights. You know I like the Harry Potter story too much. I can't Perfunctory my love."

"Well... Then what kind of conditions does Mr. Kevin need to sell his film and television copyright to us? I think we can try our best to meet your request."

"2.5 million pounds, this is the price I think is based on the friendship with director Hudson, so it can't be lower." Kevin said.

"Huh? £2.5 million? Isn't that too high?"

Sure enough, the people from Cranked Film and Television Company were also surprised when they heard the price. After all, they didn't expect Kevin to "lion open his mouth" like this. Before they came here, they felt that 2.1 million at most would be enough. But now when Kevin opened his mouth, it was 2.5 million. It was so unexpected.

Hudson was used to any unusual words and actions from Kevin, so he didn't seem particularly surprised at this time. On the contrary, only in this way can he feel that the person in front of him is the real Kevin.

"Mr. Kevin, is the condition no longer negotiable?" The people from Cranked Film and Television Company tried to communicate with Kevin to see if they could reduce the condition of 2.5 million pounds.

But Kevin still insisted on his price of 2.5 million pounds, which is not a lot. So, it makes them seem a bit lost. They knew about Hudson and Kevin's friendship. So at this time, he also gestured to Hudson with his eyes, trying to get the other party to talk to Kevin.

Hudson did not intercede,

. He knew Kevin's character, and estimated that Crankland Film and Television would need to spend another 2.5 million pounds to sign the film and television rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Cranked Film and Television Company is a large British film and television company. Naturally, they are capable of signing a manuscript worth 2.5 million pounds, and they have also signed movie scripts worth more than 2 million pounds many times. Now their people are considering whether to spend 2.5 million pounds to sign "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Of course, the reason they hesitated was because "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was a magical work. Before this, there had not been a magical novel adapted into a movie in this parallel world of England. If they're signed, then it's the first one.

As a pioneer, you face many risks. For example, will the first attempt be successful? For example, can people accept movies adapted from fantasy novels? Or what kind of effect will be produced after the fantasy novel is adapted into a movie?

But just because no one has done it, if it succeeds in the end, then the benefits they get will be very large. As Hudson thought, as the first film adaptation of a fantasy novel, once it is released, it will inevitably arouse the curiosity of many people, and these people will eventually enter the cinema for their inner curiosity. At that time, the box office figures of this movie will be unimaginable again.

Therefore, the people from Cranked Film and Television Company couldn't help but wonder, is this a contract or not?

"Guys, I think Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will live up to your expectations. If you choose to bring it to the screen, it will be a blockbuster film." At this time, Kevin said confidently.

The "Jane Eyre" that Kevin brought to their company, which created a miracle at the box office of British movies, is still vivid in my mind. Therefore, Kevin's words couldn't help but they had the urge to spend 2.5 million pounds to sign "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in their hearts.

"I'm also optimistic about Kevin's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", what do you think?" Hudson finally spoke.

As an excellent director, Hudson's words are naturally authoritative. Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth, the slightest impulse in the hearts of the people of Cranked Film and Television Company instantly transformed into behavior.

So, they said: "Mr Kevin, well. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is so good and we're partial to him. So. I think £2.5 million, we'll take it. "

"OK, the facts will prove that your Cranked film and television company is doing the right thing. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" will definitely be able to afford the price of 2.5 million pounds." Kevin continued to give the other party Confidence in signing.

"Kevin, congratulations. Your work has sold a high-priced film and television copyright." Hudson said to Kevin at this time.

"Thank you! I think I should congratulate you Crankland Film and Television Company. You have also signed a movie script that sold well at the box office." Kevin said humorously.

"Haha, well, let's congratulate each other. Today is really a beautiful day." Hudson said with a smile.

After the two parties agreed to the condition of 2.5 million pounds, the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was officially signed. This made Kevin very happy, and all this finally belonged to him alone. He doesn't need to be in a half-fifty relationship with any publishing company.

Just after Kevin sent Hudson and others away. His phone rang again. He looked at the number and it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

So, Kevin happily pressed the answer button, and then said: "Hi! Hello, it's Kevin, who are you?"

"Mr. Kevin, it's great to hear your voice. It's not long since we met, is it okay? Alves from Golden Harvest Film Company." The other party said happily.

"Oh, it's Mr. Alves, of course I remember."

"Mr. Kevin, it's like this. Let's go back and discuss with the people in the company. We can accept your offer of 2.5 million pounds. As long as you agree to sign the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" Give us Golden Harvest, I think we can all accept it." Alves said excitedly on the phone.

"But Mr. Alves, I'm sorry, just half an hour ago I signed the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to Cranked Film and Television Company."

"Oh no!"

Alves was surprised at this moment. (To be continued.)
