Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 172: Sell ​​film and television rights

Ever since Kevin's new book "Jane Eyre" was made into a movie and created British film history, Hudson can already guess that the film and television copyrights of any of Kevin's works will not be low.

Especially this "Robinson Crusoe" book market is so hot today, there must be many people who are eyeing its film and television copyrights, so he has already made plans in his heart, no matter what it is. The conditions must get it in hand.

Before Kevin came over, he had already figured out the reserve price in his heart, which was £2 million. After all, the previous work "Wuthering Heights" was also sold at this price, and now "Robinson Crusoe" definitely cannot be lower than this price.

So Kevin said: "Dear Director Hudson, we are friends. So I don't want to lie. "Robinson Crusoe", I think it will take 2 million pounds to sell its film and television rights. You I just said that this is a wonderful and exciting story. For this, I must have a price worthy of it."

"What? Two million pounds?" Dzeko couldn't help being surprised when he heard this number.

This surprise of Zheke is also normal. After all, when the film and television rights of Wuthering Heights were signed, Hoffman's assistant heard the same expression when he heard that it needed 2 million pounds.

"Yes, Mr. Zheke. I'm sorry, this is my bottom line. To be honest, my previous "Wuthering Heights" was also at this price. So, as a friend, I did not give this "Robinson Crusoe" Increase the price. But it will not decrease. I hope you can understand." Kevin said.

Because Hudson is a kindness to Kevin, so Kevin will explain as above. If it's another person, he won't be too lazy to talk too much.

Zheke is just an assistant. Hearing such a high price, he naturally did not dare to make any comments. At this time, he could only look at Hudson with a surprised expression. Hudson was indeed a little surprised when he heard Kevin said that it would take 2 million pounds to sell.

Of course, as a British senior director. Of course, he also signed a £2 million film and television work. But those screenwriters are well-known in the UK. No one has ever dared to ask for a price of 2 million pounds for a young writer or screenwriter like Kevin.

But Kevin has just made it clear that this is his lowest price, and he will not reduce it anymore. Therefore, Hudson thought in his heart that he should only spend 2 million pounds to buy the film and television rights of "Robinson Crusoe".

In the end, the excitement of "Robinson Crusoe" made him make a decision to buy. After all, he believes that with the popularity of Kevin and "Robinson Crusoe" and the excitement of this book, the box office will surely shine like "Jane Eyre".

So Director Hudson took a sip of tea and said: "Okay. 2 million pounds is 2 million pounds. After all, this work is worth the price."

"Director Hudson, are you sure you want to..." Dzeko persuaded from the side at this time.

"Well, Dzeko, I think based on Kevin's current fame, this work must be counted by anyone. Besides, it is so wonderful." Hudson said to Dzeko.

Dzeko was just an assistant, and Hudson didn't even have any comments. It is naturally inconvenient for him to say something.

"Thank you Director Hudson for your appreciation. I think "Robinson Crusoe" will become even more exciting under your shooting."

"Kevin, let's put it this way. We have reached a verbal agreement. Later I will ask someone to draw up a contract. After the contract is signed, the copyright of "Robinson Crusoe" belongs to us."

"Of course, as a friend, as long as your company can meet my conditions. I naturally won't have any objections." Kevin said readily.

Hudson has already decided to buy, naturally it will not delay too much time, so he immediately asked someone to prepare the contract.

Kevin sold the film and television rights of "Robinson Crusoe" and was very happy in his heart. After all, this film and television copyright belongs to only oneself, which means that the two million pounds earned went into his own card. Suddenly there was another 2 million pounds. Anyone else is probably laughing in his heart.

After signing the contract, Hudson happily shook Kevin's hand and said, "Thank you for signing me the film and television copyright of this work. I think it will be created like Jane Eyre. The miracle of the British film industry."

"Definitely, because the director of this work is directed by Hudson, he is a man of miracles."

Kevin has always given Hudson an unparalleled sense of self-confidence, which is one of the reasons why he dared to spend 2 million pounds to buy the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe".

While waiting for the contract to be signed, Kevin has been chatting with Hudson for a long time. So, not long after signing the contract, he also went back.

Director Hudson wanted Dzeko to drive him for a ride, but Kevin said he would go to school again, so he refused.

But Kevin just got in a taxi and has not yet arrived at school. Then the phone rang crackling. These calls are all from the film and television companies.

"Hello, is it Mr. Kevin? We are very interested in your "Robinson Crusoe", can you come out for tea and have a chat?"

"Mr. Kevin, are you still holding the film and television copyright of Robinson Crusoe? We intend to put it on the screen to let more people know. Yes, I think it must be a great work ."

"The "Robinson Crusoe" you wrote is wonderful. Dear Mr. Kevin, can you sell me its film and television rights? Yes, our film and television company is full of interest in it."

......

It turns out that Director Hudson’s decisive purchase of the film and television rights of "Robinson Crusoe" is correct~www.NovelMTL.com~ because if he hesitates a little, or if he needs to go back to a meeting to discuss and make a decision, , Perhaps the result does not belong to him.

Now that the film and television copyright of "Robinson Crusoe" has been sold to Cranked Film and Television Company, Kevin naturally can only directly reject the kindness of these people.

When these callers heard that the film and television rights had signed a contract with Hudson, they all regretted it. Especially Hoffman, who signed the film and television rights of Kevin's "Wuthering Heights" before.

When "Robinson Crusoe" book sales surpassed Padick's "Unintelligible Horror", he was thinking about whether or not to sign the copyright of its film and television by the way. But because it didn't take long to get the film and television rights of "Wuthering Heights", and the film was also in progress, he hesitated.

After their company had a meeting yesterday, he made up his mind to get the film and television rights of "Robinson Crusoe", so he will call Kevin himself today. It's a pity that it's too late to talk about it now.

Kevin used a kind of peerless writing and talent to let those people understand over and over again that missed opportunities are often just a moment. (To be continued...)
