I Am a Nobleman in England

As Arthur and the others discussed before, in the cooperation agreement with independent TV station, the film and television copyright of the sequel to the novel "Boleyn Manor" became the focus of dispute between the two parties.

750,000 pounds, the independent TV station is willing to pay this high price, in addition to producing a drama of the British era, it also wants to buy out the film and television copyright of "Boleyn Manor" as a whole, otherwise, with the price of a new writer like Arthur The treatment will never be such a generous price. As for Arthur's so-called noble title, in the face of economic interests, he doesn't have much face.

Originally, the issue of the sequel proposed by Arthur was temporarily put on hold. After fulfilling the contract of the first part and paying the cost of purchasing the copyright, we will discuss the issue of the sequel. He promised to give the other party a fair proposal with the right of first refusal, which was also suppressed by the TV station. The team refused.

It can be seen that the TV station is determined to buy out at once, and does not want to leave any troublesome tails. In their view, Arthur's side is a bit too greedy.

In this way, the two sides disagreed, and the negotiations reached a deadlock because of this issue.

"Cucko—"

The insignificant sound of protest from his stomach made Arthur look at his watch involuntarily. It was already 12:45 noon. No wonder he protested. The atmosphere was a little gloomy. It seemed that everyone was tired and hungry.

"Hehe, I didn't expect time to pass so fast. It's already past 12 o'clock. I'm really hungry. How about we temporarily suspend the meeting. At noon, I invite everyone to taste Southampton's seafood. After eating and drinking, we Let's talk." Arthur said with a chuckle, temporarily putting a stop to the ongoing stalemate.

"Hehe, let alone, I'm really hungry, okay, let's take a rest first, thank Earl Arthur for your generosity." Nigel Marshat, the person in charge of the TV station's negotiations, spoke and echoed Arthur's proposal with a smile .

"You're welcome, please—"

Arthur smiled and stood up from his seat, extending his hand in an inviting gesture.

Everyone in the meeting room also changed their serious frowning expressions, put away the documents with a smile on their faces, stood up, talked and laughed happily, and followed Arthur and Nigel Marshat out of the meeting room step by step.

After walking out of the newspaper office, everyone got into the car respectively. James, the lawyer who followed Arthur into the car, and Tom from the publishing house looked at their boss as soon as the door was closed.

"Boss, it seems that the other party's attitude is very firm and will not give in on this issue..." Lawyer James said with a serious expression on his face.

Arthur nodded slightly, and smiled helplessly: "Perhaps in their view, I'm a little too greedy..."

"In terms of price alone, the other party is indeed very sincere. No matter how you say it, boss, you are a new writer after all. The book has not been published yet, and the film and television copyright can be sold at such a price. It will definitely shock the industry.

Moreover, if the TV series is successful, it will be a massive free publicity, which will feed back the sales of your novel publication, boss. . . "As the person in charge of the publishing house, Tom, who knows the industry very well, doesn't want to see this cooperation fail. Although he is working for Arthur, he will not just want to please his boss, so that the boss will do something. Bad judgment and decision.

"Indeed, the price is very fair. Now it seems that the other party really doesn't want to pay more money. If we really want to facilitate this deal, we can only make concessions. There is no way. Who made me a newcomer?" Arthur Knowing what his two subordinates meant, he didn't want to lose this opportunity to make money. However, concessions are concessions, but he can't have no favorable conditions at all.

"I can agree to the sequel, but if they want to make a movie in the future, they have to pay me a certain percentage of the movie's profits."

Lawyer James nodded and said, "This should be fine.

This is customary. And this price is generally 5 to 10% of the total net profit after the movie is released.

However, the concept of this total net profit is very vague, which often causes disputes between the two parties. It may take many days to discuss how to determine this net profit plan. "

"Hehe, then discuss slowly, don't worry." Arthur smiled slightly.

After hearing the boss's decision, James and Tom nodded slightly to express their understanding.

The White Star Tavern is a traditional British pub restaurant with a casual and comfortable environment. Although it is not a restaurant recommended by Michelin, its dishes are very good. It is one of the famous restaurants in Southampton.

Naturally, the atmosphere at lunch will not continue the tension during the morning negotiations. Of course, now is the break time, and no one will spoil the business by mentioning business, chatting and chatting, and the atmosphere is relaxed and harmonious.

When the people from the independent TV station talked about restoring the scenes in the novel, it would take a lot of time and energy to build the sets.

"...Actually, you don't need to build a background at all. The content of the novel revolves around Boleyn Castle. The TV station can shoot directly in Boleyn Castle. Boleyn Castle has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, and it is still the same. Wei Wei, in this way, Paul can also serve as your advisor, and you can achieve multiple things in one fell swoop. Wouldn’t it be possible to restore the content of the novel more perfectly?”

While cutting the beef on the plate, Jerry, the person in charge of the newspaper, smiled all over his face, raised his eyebrows brightly and proposed, which made the people in the independent TV station slightly stunned. Arthur with a smile on his face.

"This is a really good idea. I wonder if Earl Arthur is willing to rent the venue?"

"Let my home appear in TV series? Hehe, well, this proposal is very interesting, why not?" Arthur nodded and said with a smile, but he was very happy in his heart. Sure enough, there is a smart and understanding attribute It really is the key to success in business.

"Hehe, I don't know if I am lucky enough to visit your castle?"

"Welcome, looking forward to your arrival."

"Thank you, Earl Arthur, I am more confident in the success of this TV series..."

Seeing Nigel Marchat's smile, the smile on Arthur's face became brighter, and the butler Paul's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at his young earl with admiration in his eyes.

Whether it's the rental of the castle or the promotional effect of appearing in TV dramas, this is a great thing for Boleyn Manor. To be honest, the best way to maintain the castle is to open it up to the outside world for tourism. When the old earl was there, I have always wanted to do this, but because the castle is not well-known, it is not a tourist attraction, and there is no way to develop tourism projects.

Unexpectedly, the young new earl could solve the biggest problem so easily. However, Paul was also a little disappointed. He also understood that the young earl would not stick to Boleyn Manor forever after all.

Of course, Arthur never thought that Boleyn Manor would become his vacation and leisure place if he wanted to be a country tyrant all his life, but it would definitely not be his base camp, whether it was Boleyn Manor or Southampton, for Arthur As far as his ambition is concerned, the structure is too small. After all, he wants to return to London and enter the world.

How wonderful is the outside world, how could he not take a look and have fun.

The wind and the clouds will swim in shallow water, and the golden scales will swim in the middle of the pool!
