Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 318 Film and Television Rights of “Harry Pot

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Kevin and Crawford arrived at the airport in Edinburgh to receive people from Cana Films. This time, they only came to two people, Robertson and her secretary.

Robertson is a forty or fifty-year-old old man with vicissitudes of white hair, and his secretary is a young girl in her early twenties who looks very beautiful and looks like French from her complexion.

“Mr. Kevin, I am very happy 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.

“Thank you, Mr. Robertson is also a richer gentleman than I thought. Oh, this is Mr. Crawford from Sihua Culture Co., Ltd. He is also my assistant.” Kevin said.

“Oh, Mr. Crawford, hello, and nice to meet you too.” Robertson stretched out his hand to Crawford enthusiastically.

“Dear Mr. Robertson, I am also very happy to meet you. I think Edinburgh, this beautiful city, will always welcome you.” Crawford happily shook hands with the other party.

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

Robertson was very surprised when he heard that this was a company founded by Kevin himself. After all, he can have such outstanding results at such a young age, which is a very remarkable thing for his peers.

“Mr. Kevin, I didn’t expect that you are not only an excellent writer, but also an excellent boss.” After sitting down, Robertson said wittyly.

“Yes, dear” Mr. Robertson, not only that, Kevin also opened a magazine, the current sales of this magazine can also be ranked in the sales list of all British magazines. “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 very much. To be precise, I am also a loyal fan of Mr. Kevin.”

“Haha, that’s great. Mr. Kevin, don’t think your fans are everywhere.” Robertson said with a smile.

“Thank you. It is an honor for me to have such a beautiful female fan.” Kevin also counted.

Robertson’s purpose in coming to Edinburgh this time is only to discuss the film and television copyrights of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”. So after a little chat, he began to slowly enter the subject.

“Mr. Kevin, the “Harry Potter” series you wrote is great, especially the “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”. It is simply the best magic novel in the world. I think so. It must be very shocking if the work moves it to the screen.” Robertson said.

“Yes, 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 and planned to join you Let’s talk about film and television copyright issues.” Robertson’s secretary also echoed.

“Thank you for your importance to the work of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”. This makes us Sihua very happy. I just don’t know what terms you plan to sign for “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”. What about film rights?” Crawford asked directly.

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

Regarding the contract conditions, Robertson had already thought about it before he came over, and he also knew that the film and television copyright fees of Kevin’s work were not low. So in order to show his sincerity, he certainly wouldn’t drive too low.

So Robertson said: “Two, I said that “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” is a very good magic novel, so the conditions we give it will naturally not be very cheap, 2.3 million pounds, we directly I bought out its film and television copyright. I don’t know what you think?”

Crawford was naturally happy to hear this number, but he dared not make any statements. Because he knew very well that Kevin didn’t want such a price. At this time, he could only be a beautiful man quietly by the side, and then waited for his boss to speak.

Kevin of course would not agree to this condition. After all, the film and television copyrights of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” have been sold for 2.5 million pounds. “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” belong to the same series, and its film and television copyrights are naturally not available. Below this number.

So, Kevin took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said: “Mr. Robertson, tell you the truth. The film and television rights of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” have been sold. The contract 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 meant that the film and television copyright of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” should also be the same as “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 fall into thought. And her secretary did not give him more advice because he is a loyal fan of Kevin. After all, as a member of Cana Films, she certainly hopes to sign up with the least amount of money. But as a loyal fan of Kevin, she also hopes that her idol’s works can be signed with a good condition. So, she didn’t know which side to stand on, and she was simply silent.

Cana Films is also ranked top in the UK, so of course they can afford the price of 2.5 million pounds and they have also shot many masterpieces. It is also competitive among peers.

As the general manager of Cana Films, Robertson also has the right to make big decisions as long as he wants. Only in the face of the price of 2.5 million pounds, he has to think well before making a decision.

Of course, he also knows what Kevin’s work means. If it weren’t for the fact that it is a magical work, it is estimated that he would have signed the contract without saying a word. After all, if you miss it, there will be no more.

But the reason for Robertson’s hesitation now is the same as that of many film companies, that is, should he spend £2.5 million to sign the film and television rights for a magical work?

“Mr. Kevin, isn’t there any room for negotiation? Know that we came with enough sincerity.” Robertson tried to negotiate terms with Kevin.

“I’m really sorry, Mr. Robertson. When I signed for “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, the people at Crankd Films also tried to ask me to reduce my requirements, and their Hudson knew me. Well, it’s my friend again. I didn’t make any retreat because of this. Now you Kana Films came to me, and I gave me the exact same price. I think it’s a sufficient concession.” Kevin Explained.
