At 3 p.m., Kevin and Crawford came to Edinburgh Airport to receive the people from Cannes film company. This time, there were only two of them, Robertson and her secretary.
Robertson is an old man in his 40s and 50s, with vicissitudes of life and white hair. His secretary is a young girl in her early twenties. She is very beautiful and looks French from the skin color.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Kevin. I didn't expect you to be younger than you were in front of the TV. I really admire you." Robertson said with a smile.
"Thank you. Mr. Robertson is richer than I thought. Oh, this is Mr. Crawford from Sihua Culture Co., Ltd. he is also my assistant Kevin's here.
"Oh, Hello, Mr. Crawford. Nice to meet you, too." Robertson reached out to Crawford enthusiastically.
"Dear Mr. Robertson, nice to meet you, too. I think Edinburgh, a beautiful city, will always welcome you. " Crawford shook hands happily.
The airport is not a good place to talk. After getting to know each other and making polite remarks, Kevin takes Robertson and others to the conference room of Sihua Culture Co., Ltd.
Robertson was very surprised when he heard that it was Kevin's own company. After all, it's a great thing for his peers to have such outstanding achievements at such a young age.
"Mr. Kevin, I didn't expect that you are not only a good writer, but also a good boss." After sitting down, Robertson said in a funny way.
"Yes, dear" Mr. Robertson, not only that, Kevin has also started a magazine, whose current sales volume can be ranked among all the magazines in the UK. " Robertson's secretary said this time.
"Oh, you seem to know a lot about Mr. Kevin?" Robertson asked curiously.
"Because I also like Mr. Kevin's articles very much. To be exact, I'm a big fan of Mr. Kevin."
"Ha ha, that's great. Mr. Kevin, don't think your fans are everywhere. " Robertson said with a smile.
"Thank you. It's my pleasure to have such a beautiful female fan." Kevin also calculated to say.
The purpose of Robertson's visit to Edinburgh is only to discuss the film and television copyright of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. So after a little chat, he began to slowly enter the theme.
"Mr. Kevin, the Harry Potter series you wrote is wonderful, especially the Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, which is the best magic novel in the world. I think this kind of work will be very shocking if it is moved to the screen. " Robertson said.
"Yes, Mr. Kevin, your Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets is one of my favorite works. We kana film company also saw its excellence, so we come here with sincerity and intend to talk about film and television copyright with you. " Robertson's secretary echoed.
"Thank you for your attention to Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, which makes Sihua very happy. I just don't know what kind of conditions you are going to sign up for the film and television copyright of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets Crawford asked directly.
Kevin is the boss, so the following people are usually responsible for asking price. Crawford was also very eye-catching at this time.
About the terms of the contract, Robertson had thought about it long before he came, and he also knew that the film and television copyright fees of Kevin's works were not low. So in order to show his sincerity, he certainly won't drive too low.
So, Robertson said: "you two, I said that Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets is a very good magic novel, so the conditions we give it will not be very cheap, 2.3 million pounds. We directly bought out the film and television copyright. What do you think?"
Crawford was glad to hear this figure, but he did not dare to make any statement. Because he knew that Kevin didn't want that price. At this time, he can only be a beautiful man and wait for his boss to speak.
Kevin certainly won't agree to this condition. After all, the film and television copyright of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone has been sold for 2.5 million pounds. Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets belong to the same series, and its film and television copyright can't be lower than this number.
So Kevin took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "Mr. Robertson, to tell you the truth, the film rights of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone have been sold. It's signed for 2.5 million pounds. "Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets" and it are the same series of stories. So, you know... "
"Mr. Kevin means that the film copyright of Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets should be the same as that of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone."
"At least it can't be lower than that. After all, they are all the same excellent. I have to be fair to every work. " Kevin said.
Robertson couldn't help thinking, and her secretary didn't give him any more advice because she was a big fan of Kevin. After all, as a member of the kana film company, she certainly wants to sign up with the least amount of money. However, as a loyal fan of Kevin, she hopes that her idol works can be signed on a good condition. So, do not know which side of the station, she simply silent.
Cannes Film Company is also ranked the top in the UK, so of course they can afford the price of 2.5 million pounds. Moreover, they have also made many masterpieces and are competitive among their peers.
Robertson, as the general manager of Cannes Film Company, has the right to make big decisions if he wants to. Only in the face of the price of 2.5 million pounds, he has to think well before making a decision.
Of course, he also knows what Kevin's work means. If it wasn't for a magic work, he would have signed the contract without saying a word. After all, if you miss it, there will be no more.
But the reason for Robertson's hesitation, like many film companies, is whether he should pay 2.5 million pounds to sign up for the film and television rights of a magic work?
"Mr. Kevin, can't there be any room for negotiation? You know, we come here with enough sincerity“ Robertson tried to negotiate terms with Kevin.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Robertson. When I signed up for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone, the people of crankard film and television also tried to ask me to lower my requirements. Their Hudson was kind to me and my friend. I didn't make any retrogression because of this. Now that your as like as two peas, the movie company of kana came to me, I gave the exact price, and I think it is enough to give up. Kevin explained.
