Chapter 307 Film and television talks of “Harry Pott
“”=\”)”=)”>
Alves’s words have already clearly expressed their Golden Harvest Film Company’s interest in Harry Potter. Net… So, at this time, he is no longer obscure.
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 of Harry Potter. Yes, I am sincere. Here comes. We think Harry Potter is very suitable for our film company.”
“First of all, I am very grateful for your importance to Harry Potter. It’s just that Harry Potter has three stories. Are you planning to sign off the film rights for all three stories?” Kevin asked.
“Of course not. After all, no one will directly shoot three movies at once. Therefore, we plan to sign the first story “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. This is what our general manager meant.” Alves said .
“Yeah! Mr. Kevin, we also like to watch this story of you very much, and are deeply attracted by the plot described in your article. Therefore, we have reason to believe that when it is adapted into a movie, we must It will be a big hit.” Another colleague from Alves interjected.
“Thank you, I hope as you said. I don’t know how you want to sign the film and television rights of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”?” Kevin asked directly.
Alves heard this, thought for a moment, and then said: “Before coming over, 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 pounds.”
“1.8 million pounds?” Crawford heard it with a surprised expression on his face. Yes, because he never thought that a novel could sell such a high cost of film and television copyright.
But at this time Kevin is obviously very calm, and for this price, he will not accept it at all. Because the film and television rights of “Wuthering Heights” and “Robinson Crusoe” both sold for £2 million. Now “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” can’t be less than this number.
Not to mention other things, just say that when “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” was launched on earth, it was made into a movie, and the box office has always been very high. Therefore, Kevin has already had a foreboding of its effect in this parallel world after being made into a movie. How could this mere £1.8 million be worthy of it?
Therefore, Kevin immediately refused: “No. Mr. Alves, for your terms. Maybe I can’t accept it.”
“Mr. Kevin means that you are not willing to sign the film and television rights 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 have to match a reasonable price for this favorite.” Kevin said.
When Crawford heard it, he couldn’t figure it out. The price of 1.8 million pounds is already very high. What else does the boss want? We must know that many famous writers may not be able to have this price. But Kevin has always been his boss, since he has said that he cannot accept the price. It is not convenient for him to say something next to him.
Alves likes the story of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” very much, so naturally he will not just 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 came with sincerity, so you signed the film and television rights for the story of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” Give it to us.”
The price of £200 is obviously only on par with “Wuthering Heights” and “Robinson Crusoe”, and now Kevin, who owns the 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 I was on earth, the box office of this movie was also very popular.
Crawford heard that the opponent had suddenly risen to £2 million, thinking that his boss would happily accept the price. However, Kevin still shook his head at this time: “No, no, no, no, Mr. Alves. I believe you knew about my work before you came. So, I think you should also know about my previous works. The price of film and television rights.”
Yes, Alves and others have indeed checked the film and television copyright status of Kevin’s previous works before coming over. They also know that the film and television copyrights of Kevin’s latest two novels have been sold for 2 million pounds. Therefore, they will directly offer 1.8 million at the beginning.
Alves had already thought about it, if the first price of 1.8 million pounds, Kevin could not accept it. Then I had to drive 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 for himself. However, to the surprise of Alves and others, Kevin did not accept the price of 2 million pounds.
Alves has obtained the leadership from above, that is, to sign the film and television rights of Kevin’s work anyway, after all, everyone knows what Kevin’s work means. They won’t give up so easily.
then. Alves also said: “Then Mr. Kevin, what kind of conditions do you need to be willing to sign the film and television rights for the story of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” to us? For our sincerity, perhaps You should think about it. Okay?”
“Of course, I can feel your sincerity. And I deeply thank you for the importance of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. But I said, they are all my favorite stories www. .com So in order to like this one, I think the film and television rights of any of them must cost 2.5 million pounds to sign it out.” Kevin directly stated his own requirements.
“What? 2.5 million pounds?” Hearing such a figure. Alves’ two colleagues were surprised in unison.
Yes, this number is simply an unlikely price for ordinary writers or small well-known writers. Therefore, when they heard Kevin say it, they suddenly felt that the other party was a little bit open.
Alves is a person who has seen big scenes, so this time naturally won’t be particularly surprised and disappointed by the price. In his opinion, everything can be discussed.
So Alves went on to say: “Mr. Kevin, £2.5 million is indeed a bit too high. Can you see us making concessions for being so sincere?”
Precisely because he has investigated some of Kevin’s information, Alves also knows that the film adapted from Kevin’s novel has created a miracle at the British movie box office. The current “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” is so excellent, 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.)
