Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Kevin and Crawford arrived at the airport in Edinburgh to receive the arrival of the people from Canner Films. This time, there were only two of them, Robertson and her secretary.

Robertson is an old man in his forties or fifties with vicissitudes of life and white hair, while his secretary is a young girl in her early twenties, she is very beautiful and looks French from the complexion.

"Mr. Kevin, I'm very glad to meet you. I didn't expect you to be younger than in front of the TV. It's really admirable." Robertson said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Mr. Robertson is also a richer gentleman than I imagined. Oh, this is Mr. Crawford from Sihua Culture Co., Ltd., and he is also my assistant." Kevin said.

"Oh, Mr. Crawford, hello, nice to meet you too." Robertson reached out to Crawford enthusiastically.

"Dear Mr. Robertson, I am also very glad to meet you. I think the beautiful city of Edinburgh will always welcome you." Crawford shook hands with the other party happily.

The airport is not a good place to talk. After getting to know each other and having some polite words, Kevin brought Robertson and others into the meeting room of Sihua Culture Co., Ltd.

Robertson was very surprised when he heard that this was the company founded by Kevin himself. After all, it is amazing for his peers to achieve such outstanding results at such a young age.

"Mr. Kevin, I didn't expect you to be not only an excellent writer, but also an excellent boss." After sitting down, Robertson said humorously.

"Yes, dear." Mr. Robertson, not only that, Kevin also opened a magazine, and the current sales volume of this magazine can also be ranked in the sales list of all magazines in the UK. "Robertson's secretary said at this time.

"Oh, you seem to know a lot about Mr. Kevin?" Robertson asked curiously.

"Because I also like the articles written by Mr. Kevin, and to be precise, I can also be regarded as a loyal fan of Mr. Kevin."

"Haha, that's really great. Mr. Kevin, don't think that your fans are everywhere." Robertson said with a smile.

"Thank you. It's an honor to have such a beautiful female fan." Kevin also said.

The purpose of Robertson's visit to Edinburgh this time is to discuss the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". So after some chatting, he began to slowly get into the topic.

"Mr. Kevin, you have done a great job writing the Harry Potter series, especially Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

It is simply the best fantasy novel in the world. I think that if such a work is brought to the screen, it must be very shocking. said Robertson.

"That's right, Mr. Kevin, your "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is also one of my favorite works. Our Kana Film Company also saw its excellence, so we came here with sincerity to plan to share with you Let's talk about the copyright issue of film and television." Robertson's secretary also echoed.

"Thank you for your company's attention to the work of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". This makes us, Sihua, very happy. I just don't know what conditions you plan to use to sign the contract for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" What about film and television copyright?" Crawford asked directly.

Kevin is the boss, so asking prices is usually the responsibility of the people below. Crawford was also very eye-catching at this time to speak.

Regarding the signing conditions, Robertson had already thought about it before he came here, and he also knew that the film and television copyright fees for Kevin's works were not low. So in order to show his sincerity, of course he would not drive too low.

So, Robertson said: "You two, I said that "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a very good fantasy novel, so the conditions we give it will naturally not be very low, 2.3 million pounds, we directly Bought out its film and television copyright. What do you guys think?"

Crawford was naturally happy to hear this number, but he didn't dare to make any statement. Because he knew very well that what Kevin wanted was not such a price. At this time, he could only quietly be a handsome man, and wait for his boss to speak.

Of course, Kevin would not agree to this condition. After all, the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was sold for 2.5 million pounds. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" belongs to the same series, and its film and television copyright naturally cannot below this figure.

So, Kevin took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said: "Mr. Robertson, let me tell you the truth. The film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has been sold, and its The signing condition is 2.5 million pounds. And "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is the same series of stories as it. So, you know..."

"Mr. Kevin means that the film and television copyright of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" should be the same as that of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

"At least it can't be lower than this number, after all, they are all equally good. I have to be fair to every work." Kevin said.

Robertson couldn't help but fell into deep thought. And her secretary didn't give him more advice because she was a loyal fan of Kevin. After all, as a member of Carner Films, she certainly hoped to spend the least amount of money to sign the contract. But as a loyal fan of Kevin, she also hopes that her idol's works can be signed under good conditions. So, not knowing which side to stand on, she simply remained silent.

Carner Films is also considered to be the top one in the UK, so of course they can afford the price of 2.5 million pounds, and they have also filmed many big-budget works. It also has a certain degree of competition among peers.

As the general manager of Carner Films, Robertson also has the right to make big decisions as long as he wants. It's just that facing the price of 2.5 million pounds, he has to think carefully before making a decision.

Of course, he also knew what Kevin's work meant. If it wasn't because it was a magical work, he probably would have signed it without saying a word. After all, if you miss it, you will never have it again.

But the reason why Robertson is hesitant now is the same as that of many film companies, that is, should he sign a film and television copyright of a magical work at a price of 2.5 million pounds?

"Mr. Kevin, isn't there room for negotiation? You must know that we came here with enough sincerity." Robertson tried to negotiate terms with Kevin.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Robertson. When I signed the contract for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the people from Crankland Film and Television Company also tried to ask me to lower the requirements, and their Hudson knew me well." Well, it’s my friend again, and I didn’t make any setbacks because of it. Now that Canna Films came to me, and I offered the exact same price, I think this is enough to back down.” Kevin explained.
