Chapter 147

Since the press conference, Kevin did not leave London, but continued to stay in the Sikes hotel. The manager of Sikes Hotel, nock ah Wu, also recognized Kevin after watching the news, so he plans to pay for Kevin.

"Kevin, I think I should give some help to our British writers, shouldn't I? You know, the book why I was born is so wonderful. It has become the guiding light of my life Noke ah Wu said to Kevin.

"Thank you, dear Mr. nock ah Wu. I think God will bless those kind people."

"Thank you for your blessing. Oh, you can stay here as many days as you like. Don't worry. I've already told you that they will try their best to meet your requirements." Nork ah Wu said to Kevin sincerely.

Kevin will not be greedy for this. He plans to go back to Edinburgh in a while. After all, when I came to the press conference this time, I had asked the school for a few days' holiday, and now I have another position as literary editor in chief. Naturally, things are busy.

Kevin and nork ah Wu talked for about half an hour before they left and went back to their room. But as soon as he sat down, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, are you Mr. Kevin? I'm from Scottish Literature Press. May I have a word with you? "

"Yes, I'm Kevin."

"Oh, we'd like to talk with you about the cooperation of the new book Robinson Crusoe. Please rest assured, Mr. Kevin. No matter what, as long as you can let us publish Robinson Crusoe, I'll give you whatever conditions you put forward." Said the Scottish Literature Press politely.

Kevin would have expected such a day. After all, many people who care about literature were watching the moment when he published his new book. Now that they have received so much attention, they will definitely not miss the book Robinson Crusoe.

"Scottish Literature Press? If you remember correctly, it is one of the best publishing houses in Scotland, publishing a lot of excellent works every year. " Kevin said.

"Yes, since Mr. Kevin knows the strength of our Scottish Literature Press, please feel free to sign Robinson Crusoe to us. Oh, we can make an appointment to chat slowly. Don't worry, you can make your own demands at will. "

The other party was very happy to hear Kevin praise their publishing house. Because it means that Kevin knows something about his company.

In fact, as Kevin said, the strength of Scottish Literature Publishing House is the best in Scotland. Over the years, they have published many best-selling works. For example, the novel temptation under the lamp, which was very popular last year, was published by Scottish Literature Press. And the book won last year's quarterly sales champion.

Kevin is no longer the young man who wrote in the beginning. At the beginning, he took the manuscript of "Jane Eyre" and threw it into the garbage can. In the end, Enni paid a price to buy it. In the end, it was published, but because of the buyout, he didn't get much. In addition, the film and television remuneration has to be shared with the other party.

But now, he's starting to make his mark in the literary world. He's not stupid enough to sell all the copyright to the publishing house. Besides, with his current fame, he no longer has to worry about no one signing with him.

Therefore, he has to fight for different treatment for his new book Robinson Crusoe. So, Kevin put forward his own request to the other party: "thank you for your attention to my new book. I just want to put forward a condition that I only sign the text copyright for this new book, and I want the royalty to be 10%. If you can agree to this condition, maybe we can have a good talk. "

"What? You only want to sign the copyright to us? What about film and television copyright? We can discuss that. "

People from Scottish Literature Publishing House were a little surprised when they heard Kevin's offer. After all, they came this time not only for Kevin's text copyright, but also for other copyrights. But now kaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikaikai.

"Yes, if you will agree to my request, I will decide to talk to you. Otherwise, I really can only thank you for your attention. " Kevin said firmly.

"But Mr. Kevin, even the most popular old writers, are willing to sign the film copyright with the publishing house. So, can you think about it? Maybe we can give you a high share of film and television copyright. " The Scottish Literature Press is still lobbying.

"No, no, no, dear sir, this is my only request. If you can agree, we'll make an appointment to have a good chat."

"Well, let's think about it. Would Mr. Kevin please don't rush to sign Robinson Crusoe to someone else?" The Scottish Literature Press asked.

"I can't decide this. Maybe when other publishers show their sincerity. You know, even God will be moved by those sincere people, not to mention me Kevin said.

When the other party heard what Kevin said, they were worried. But he did not dare to make a quick decision. After all, Kevin's demands are a little too harsh, at least in this parallel world of Britain.

Because as the people of Scottish Literature Press said, many popular writers are willing to sign the film and television copyright to the publishing house when they sign the new book. Of course, because of their fame, their remuneration naturally accounts for the majority. But there are not many people who just sign up with the publishing house for the copyright of words, as Kevin put forward.

This condition is also a headache for Scottish Literature publishers. In the end, they had no choice but to hang up with Kevin and have a meeting with the relevant colleagues.

Just after the Scottish Literature Press and Kevin hung up, Kevin's cell phone kept ringing. Within an hour, he answered one phone after another. And it's all about the new book Robinson Crusoe.

"Hello, are you Mr. Kevin? We want to talk to you about the new book Robinson Crusoe. As long as you can sign it to me, anything will do

"Hello, Mr. Kevin, can you sell Robinson Crusoe to our publishing house? If we can, we will try our best to meet your requirements. "

"Kevin, I used to be a student of Edinburgh University, so I'm an alumnus. Looking at this relationship, do you think we can make an appointment to have a good talk? I'm very interested in your new book Robinson Crusoe. So sign it to me. "

"Kevin, can you sign your Robinson Crusoe to our publishing house? Can we make an appointment to meet and have a talk? "
