"Kevin, we are friends, so I think we can open our hearts as much as possible to talk about the copyright of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone." Director Hudson said first.
"Well, dear director Hudson, I like your frankness. I don't know how much your company will pay for the film and television copyright of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone Kevin also asked directly.
"2 million pounds. We understand that the film and television copyright of Robinson Crusoe, which you signed with Hudson director before, is also 2 million pounds. Therefore, we will not give you less this time. " Said a colleague at crankard pictures.
Hudson nodded with satisfaction. After all, the price of 2 million pounds is also a very moderate and reasonable price, he thought Kevin would not refuse.
However, Kevin's attitude is still the same as that of people from Jiahe film company. The film and television copyright of any work in the Harry Potter series can't be less than 2.5 million pounds.
So Kevin shook his head and said, "no, maybe two million pounds won't let me sell its film rights. You know, I love Harry Potter stories so much. I can't be so perfunctory about my share. "
"Well... What kind of conditions does Mr. Kevin need to sell his film and television rights to us? I think we can try our best to meet your requirements. "
"2.5 million pounds, which is the price I see in my friendship with director Hudson, so it can't be lower." Kevin said.
"Ah? 2.5 million pounds? Is that too high? "
Sure enough, people at Clyde pictures were surprised to hear about the price. After all, they didn't expect Kevin to be such a "lion's mouth.". Before they came here, they thought that at most 2.1 million would be done. But now when Kevin starts talking, it's 2.5 million. This is so unexpected.
Hudson was used to Kevin's unusual words and actions, so he wasn't particularly surprised at this time. On the contrary, only in this way can he feel that the person in front of him is the real Kevin.
"Mr. Kevin, can't we talk about the terms any more?" People at Clyde pictures are trying to get in touch with Kevin to see if they can cut the price of 2.5 million pounds.
However, Kevin still insisted on his price of 2.5 million pounds, not a cent. So it makes them look a little bit down. They know the friendship between Hudson and Kevin, so at this time, they also use their eyes to indicate Hudson, trying to let each other talk to Kevin.
Hudson did not intercede,. He knows Kevin's character, and it's estimated that it will cost 2.5 million pounds to sign up for the copyright of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone.
As a large British film and television company, Clyde film and television company is naturally able to sign a 2.5 million pound manuscript, and they have signed more than 2 million pound screenplays many times. Now their people are thinking about whether they should pay 2.5 million pounds to sign up for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone.
Of course, the reason for their hesitation is that "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone" is a magic work. Before that, there has never been a magic novel adapted into a film in this parallel world of Britain. If they're signed, they're the first.
As a pioneer, we have to face many risks, such as whether the first attempt will be successful or not? For example, can people accept movies adapted from magic novels? Or what kind of effect will be produced after the magic novel is adapted into a movie?
But just because no one has ever done it, if they succeed in the end, they will gain great benefits. As Hudson thought, as the first magic novel adapted from the film, once it is released, it will inevitably arouse the curiosity of many people, who will eventually enter the cinema for their inner curiosity. At that time, the box office figure of the film will be unimaginable.
So, people at Clyde film and television can't help wondering whether to sign a contract or not?
"I think Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone will live up to your expectations. If you choose to put it on the screen, it will be a high box office movie. " At this time, Kevin said confidently.
Jane Eyre, who created the box office miracle of British movies, is still in my mind. So, Kevin's words can't help but they have the impulse to spend 2.5 million pounds to sign Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone.
"I'm also optimistic about Kevin's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. What do you think?" Hudson finally spoke.
As an excellent director, what Hudson said is naturally authoritative. So, as soon as he spoke, the impulse in people's heart of crankard film and television company turned into behavior in an instant.
So they said, "Mr. Kevin, all right《 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone is so excellent, and we also prefer him. So, I think we can accept 2.5 million pounds. "
"OK, it turns out that you're doing the right thing《 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone will definitely be worth the 2.5 million pounds Kevin continues to give the other side the confidence to sign.
"Kevin, Congratulations, your works have sold high price film and television copyright again." Hudson said to Kevin this time.
"Thank you! I think I should like to congratulate you, Frank film and television company. You also signed up for a box office blockbuster screenplay. " Kevin said wittily.
"Ha ha, well, let's congratulate each other. It's a wonderful day. " Hudson said with a smile.
After the two sides agreed to the 2.5 million pound terms, the film and television copyright of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone was officially signed. This makes Kevin very happy. It's all his own at last. He doesn't have to work with any publishing companies.
Just after Kevin saw off Hudson and others, his phone rang again. He looked at the number, which seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
So Kevin happily pressed the answer button and said, "Hi! Hello, it's Kevin. Who's calling, please
"Mr. Kevin, it's great to hear your voice. We haven't seen each other long. Do we have to wait? Alves of Jiahe film company The other side said happily.
"Oh, it's Mr. Alves, of course."
"Well, Mr. Kevin, let's go back and discuss with the company. We can accept your offer of 2.5 million pounds. As long as you agree to contract the film and television copyright of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone to Jiahe, I think we can all accept it. " Alves said excitedly on the phone.
"But Mr. Alves, I'm sorry, just half an hour ago, I signed the movie rights of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone to crankard pictures."
"Ah! No way
Alves was surprised at this time.
