Rebirth As a Writer In Britain
Chapter 29 Film and television copyright finalized (seeking a reward
After three o'clock in the afternoon, people from the London Literary Publishing House had already arrived in Edinburgh. After Kevin answered the phone, he also made an appointment with them at the relatively high-end Fiasson Tea House in Edinburgh.
Kevin thought to himself, although he doesn't have a lot of money yet, he hasn't become a local tyrant, and he is even far from the life of the nobles in England. But as a future literary giant, he must have the bearing of a literary giant. When the staff from the London Literary Publishing House come over, they should arrange a decent teahouse no matter what.
Why arrange a tea house? Because in the UK, drinking afternoon tea is as popular as in the southern part of China. Especially among the upper-class people such as the nobles, they would come to the teahouse to enjoy a good afternoon when they had nothing to do.
Since this time they only brought the contract to Kevin for confirmation and then signed it, so they only came with two people. Among them is a young girl, Kevin still clearly remembers her name --- Sunny.
Sunny wears sexy clothes all the time, people can't help but love. Of course, this has something to do with her inherently sexy appearance.
"Hi, dear Kevin, we meet again. It's a pleasure to see you again. You are like Princes Street in Edinburgh, full of room for development." Sunny said with a smile.
"Dear Sunny, I'm also very happy to see you again. Oh, you are like the tea in this Fiassen tea house, fresh and elegant, just a glance can relieve people's physical and mental fatigue." Kevin also responded A metaphor for the other party.
"Mr. Kevin really deserves to be a talented writer, he can say talented sentences under any circumstances. Oh, sorry, please allow us to get back to the topic. I believe that the editor-in-chief Enni has already told you about our visit this time in advance. Right?" Sonny said.
"Yes, Ennie called me today."
"Well, Mr. Kevin, this is the film and television contract finalized by Cranked Film and Television Company for us. You can see for yourself. If there is no objection, just sign in the author column."
After speaking, Sunny took out a contract from the briefcase and handed it to Kevin.
It was the first time for Kevin to see this so-called film and television contract, so he couldn't wait to hold it in his hand and watch it.
According to the stipulations of the contract, Cranked Film and Television Company chose to directly buy out the film and television copyright of "Jane Eyre", and the total remuneration was 400,000 pounds. But according to the contract signed between Kevin and the London Literary Publishing House, he can only get 50% of the money, which means that only £200,000 belongs to Kevin in the end.
As a rookie, Kevin is satisfied with this kind of treatment. Although the value of "Jane Eyre" is far more than this number. But he believes that the following channels will be opened, and the income of "Jane Eyre" will definitely not be this amount.
"How is it? Does Mr. Kevin have any questions about this contract? If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time. If not, I will trouble you to sign them, and then "Jane Eyre" and Cranked Film and Television Company The buyout contract can basically take effect."
Ten minutes later, Sunny asked with a smile.
"IOK, there is basically no major problem with the contract." After speaking, Kevin signed it readily.
After Kevin signed the contract, it proved that the film and television copyright of "Jane Eyre" was basically sold. This speed made Kevin a little unexpected.
"Okay, Mr. Kevin, first of all congratulations, your "Jane Eyre" has been published in such a short period of time, from the publication to the finalization of the film and television copyright. But I have to say that you are a genius,
I like your "Meditations on a Broom" and this "Jane Eyre" very much. After Sunny took the contract, she smiled and shook hands with Kevin.
After Kevin was reborn, it was the first time he shook hands with a beautiful girl from England. At this time, she realized that the hands of women in this country are also so smooth and soft. Anyway, that feeling is quite comfortable.
"I'm also very grateful for your company's appreciation. Oh, when Miss Sunny smiles, she is very beautiful, just like the scenery of Holyrood Park."
Kevin continued to throw out his metaphors, which made Sunny and others smile again and again.
After Kevin signed the contract, he originally planned to stay with the London Literary Publishing House for dinner in Edinburgh, but Sunny said that he wanted to go to other places. So he didn't hold back too much.
Unexpectedly, the film and television contract has already been finalized, so he can only wait for everything to go smoothly, and then collect a lot of money.
After Kevin returned home from the teahouse, his parents and others were still at work and not at home. Therefore, he was able to quietly think about which literary giant's work he should write down.
At this time, the phone rang again. He thought it was Sunny and the others who forgot to call, but when he looked at the number, he found that it was Lavin from Dehai Publishing House.
"Hi, respected President Lavin, what can I do?" Kevin pressed the answer button.
"Hi, Kevin, hello. I'm very happy, you can think of me when you see the number. Oh, what do you think about what I talked to you that day?" LaVine asked.
Of course, Kevin knew that Lavin was referring to the issue of signing a long-term contract with Dehai Publishing House. So I immediately replied: "Sorry, dear Mr. Lavin, as I said, I will not sign a long-term contract with any publishing house, including the current London Literary Press. For this, I can only say thank you value."
"But dear Kevin, don't you think you need to reconsider? You must know that our Dehai Publishing House is also well-known throughout the UK. Over the years, our publishing house has also discovered many good works. They have deeply influenced the British literary world." President Lavin still did not give up.
"Yes, I think God will thank your publishing house for its contribution to English literature, but my attitude is still the same. I will not sign a long-term contract with any publishing house. I hope that President Lavin will respect my decision. Thank you."
Kevin never changed his original intention. As the saying goes, I have a literary memory and I am willful.
"Dear Kevin, I think you are too willful. You know, it is not necessarily a good thing for young people to be too willful."
There seems to be other meanings in LaVine's words. That is a tactful hint that Kevin should not toast or eat fine wine. We must know that Dehai Publishing House still has a certain influence in the British literary world, and there is no shortage of literary champions. After all, the London Literary Competition is held every four years.
Of course, Kevin knew all of this in his heart. But sorry, no matter how many champions there are, no one will ever have what Kevin has in mind. Therefore, he still has willful capital that others do not have.
So Kevin said: "Thank you for your reminder. But respected Mr. Lavin, my decision is still the same. Sorry."
After speaking, Kevin hung up the phone directly. This is very impolite and ungentlemanly behavior in the UK. Therefore, LaVine was very upset!
"Hmph! Isn't he the champion of the literary contest? Our Dehai Publishing House still has no shortage of authors who can write good articles. Is "Jane Eyre" selling well? I don't believe that our publishing house can't find a book that can write you Comparable works. Also let you know what there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky."
After LaVine failed to persuade Kevin repeatedly, he felt very shameless on his face. Although he is a person full of business opportunities, he has become irrational at this time. Perhaps, he wants to let this young man, Kevin, know that his books are not the only ones that can sell well in the British literary world.
Therefore, he chose Augustine's new book "Sounds of Nature under the Moon".
