Rebirth As a Writer In Britain
Chapter 95
Seeing that the sales volume of this issue of "Time Magazine" was several times that of the previous issues, Wall was smiling. After all, half of this result is his own credit. He was the one who saw the business opportunity first, and then asked Kevin to write poetry.
"Kevin, you are amazing. You always bring us those unexpected surprises."
Yes, since Kevin published an article in "Times", the sales volume of "Times" has been completely turned upside down compared with before, and it has even overwhelmed its peer newspapers and magazines. This also made the leadership of Time magazine very happy. Every time he would praise Wall for his unique vision.
Poetry critic David Lee also noticed Kevin's poem "Ode to a Nightingale", so he also bought a copy of "Time Magazine" to read. Like everyone else, David Lee's eyes lit up when he finished reading this poem. Can't help but marvel at Kevin's imagination.
"Perhaps the poems he writes can brighten up the whole world."
Therefore, David Lee, like everyone else, is looking forward to Kevin's next chapter of poetry. After all, they have been deeply attracted by these beautiful word combinations.
The first quarter has already been published, and Kevin doesn't want to procrastinate any longer. He immediately sent Wall the second stanza of "Ode to a Nightingale," lest he forget it in time. After all, Kevin plans to prepare another new book in the coming time.
Wall was still complacent about the sales volume of this issue of "Time Magazine". When he saw Kevin's email, he immediately clicked on it. Since he met Kevin, Kevin's writing speed has always been so fast, and he is no stranger to it. Otherwise, in the past, he would have given a surprised expression.
He clicked on the email and carefully read the poem in the second stanza:
Ah, if only a sip of wine,
A sip of wine that has been refrigerated for years in the cellar!
When people taste it, they will think of the God of Flowers and the verdant wine country.
Think of dances, love songs, and the frenzy of harvest.
Ah, if that cup had southern heat,
Red as a human face, full of the true taste of the fountain of inspiration,
The foam of pearls floats on the rim,
Can dye lips crimson,
I'll drink it all up and leave the world quietly,
Hide in the dark forest with you.
After reading it, Wall still sighed deeply. Because Kevin's second verse is as beautiful as the first stanza.
"
That's right, Kevin compared the nightingale's singing to the long-buried wine, and its sweetness stimulated his yearning for new life, and then the green land of "Flora, Love Song, Sunshine, and Dance" emerged in his mind. It's like drinking the "fountain of inspiration" and getting rid of the pain of the world, "drinking and leaving the world", going to hide in the dark forest with the nightingale. "Wall couldn't help commenting.
This romantic and beautiful assumption and imagination made the artistic conception of this poem reach a peak level, and Wall couldn't help but read it several times again. At the same time, he also has reasons to believe that when this poem is published, it will definitely attract more people's praise. At that time, readers will strongly praise Time Magazine, thinking that it is a quality newspaper and magazine.
To be recognized by the market and praised by readers has always been the pursuit of any newspaper or magazine, and the same is true for Time Magazine. So, all of this made them very happy.
After Kevin sent the second stanza of "Ode to a Nightingale" to Wall,
Time to think carefully about writing a third book, too. With the big sales of "Wuthering Heights", Kevin has more things recently. Therefore, there has been no extra time to think about whose works should be written down. After all, sometimes he has to go to school for a few classes.
According to his current achievements, he can apply for a suspension of school and drop out of school. But he graduated in the last semester, and Kevin didn't think it was necessary. The most important thing was that the schools here were different from those on Earth, and it was very free here. Mr. Collison, like Kevin asking for leave, didn't have any opinion.
Kevin began to sit in front of the computer and think about the works of British literary giants in the previous life, from Austin's "Pride and Prejudice" to Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" and JK Rowling, "Harry Potter" etc. For a while, there was no way to write.
At this time, editor-in-chief Enni called, and Kevin had no choice but to answer the other party's call first.
"Hi, Ennie, good afternoon." Kevin said politely.
"Good afternoon, Kevin. Congratulations, your Wuthering Heights is on its fourth reprint. It's a miracle. You know what? I haven't seen anyone whose work has been reprinted in just one month It was reprinted four times." Enni said excitedly on the phone.
"Really? That's really great. It's all thanks to your publicity and promotion." Kevin was also very happy to hear the news. After all, the better the sales of "Wuthering Heights", the more royalties he will get, and the more readers he will gain.
Having more readers is the dream of every writer. So, no doubt, is Kevin. Of course, the same goes for papaya.
"No, Kevin, you're too humble. It's all because of you. You wrote such a wonderful and attractive novel. You suggested that Bella do the cover promotion. You are the one who sold this big The biggest hero." Enni said matter-of-factly.
"Okay, then I'm not humble enough to accept the credit. Oh, thank you for telling me the good news." Kevin said.
"But Kevin, there is another bad news to tell you. That is, no film and television company is willing to accept the film and television copyright of this "Wuthering Heights!" Enni said in a somewhat disappointed tone.
Yes, the public relations personnel of the London Literary Publishing House have given the manuscript of "Wuthering Heights" to many film and television companies, and none of them are willing to reply with a definite answer. The reason is simple --- Kevin is a newcomer writer, even if the book market is best-selling, they still have to think carefully about the film and television. Don't dare to make a decision rashly.
The reason why Kevin's first novel "Jane Eyre" was quickly picked up by Cranked Film and Television Company was because "Jane Eyre" was what Director Hudson needed. But not everyone in this world is Hudson. What Hudson needs is "Jane Eyre", not "Wuthering Heights". Besides, after director Hudson chose this "Jane Eyre", he has been questioned by the outside world. After this "Jane Eyre" is released, it is still a mystery how the box office will be.
Many film and television companies have also seen this, so they have not made a decision to acquire the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights". They all wanted to see the effect of Director Hudson's adaptation of "Jane Eyre" on the screen before making a decision. After all, the works of new writers will always be suspected.
This result was beyond Kevin's expectation. He thought that with the popularity of "Wuthering Heights", those film and television companies would sign its film and television copyright without hesitation. But Enni's words made his idea a little naive.
It was only at this time that Kevin remembered, "This is not Huaxia on Earth. Everything here is not based on sales." However, "Wuthering Heights" has been made into a movie when it was on Earth, and it has been a box office hit all the way. . Therefore, Kevin also has reason to believe that those companies that have been reluctant to buy the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights" will regret it later. Because, once an opportunity is missed, it may be more difficult to seize it again.
"Kevin, in fact, don't be sad. Maybe when your "Jane Eyre" is put on the screen by Director Hudson, and after the box office sells well, they will frantically grab the film and television copyright of "Wuthering Heights" It's gone." Editor-in-chief Enni was afraid that Kevin would be disappointed, so she immediately comforted him.
