I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 59
In the subsequent conversation, Arthur also got some knowledge about copyright and copyright protection from Jerry Fuller. To be honest, I knew that the United Kingdom and the United States had very strong copyright protection before, but I did not expect it to be so strict.
As we all know, the first country in the world to enact copyright laws was the United Kingdom.The protection of the original author in the copyright of works in the UK can be described in two words, which is strict and simple.
Any work created in the UK, British or resident in the UK, will be protected. Not only commercial use without my consent is an infringement. If you are personal entertainment, your use without the author's own will also be an infringement unless you It is for academic research and personal study use, only these two points can not violate the copyright law.
I have to say that this kind of protection is definitely the most powerful backing and backing for creators and artists!
The lawyer James Cronin and the head of the publishing house Tom White were notified of the matter and they were fully represented by them. After contacting DU Television to discuss the details of the contract, Arthur did not stay in Southampton, but was approaching. At noon, I got in the car returning to Bolin Manor.
The film and television copyrights of "Bowling Manor" will soon have a new home, and perhaps it is time to give those publishers who have seen "Fifty Shadows of Gray" an answer......
In the carriage, Arthur leaned comfortably on the back of the seat, thinking about the question of the "Making Money Book". He kept pressing down and did not reply to the publishers who contacted by private letter, undoubtedly in order to accumulate brewing influence. Make good use of the Internet's publicity effect to the limit, so that he will have a large enough advantage in negotiations with the publishing house, take the initiative, and obtain greater benefits.
At present, the effect is outstanding.As the plot progresses and continues to be updated for free, his interests will also be affected.
Just as Arthur was thinking about how to choose a publishing house, Paul, the housekeeper who was driving, suddenly pulled over and took his cell phone out of his pocket to answer the call.
"...Okay, I see, I will wait for you to come here on time, see you in the afternoon, goodbye."
After the housekeeper Paul hung up the phone, he turned his head and looked at him and reported: "Earl, the people from the auction house will arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Yeah." Arthur nodded slightly, the plan couldn't keep up with the fast change. Originally, it was scheduled to meet the people of Da Weide auction house in the morning, but the plan was disrupted by the sudden call from dU TV station, but fortunately the other party It was not upset because of the change of interview time. It seemed that the other party was also very much looking forward to the good things that this veteran nobleman would bring out.
Thinking of this, the corners of Arthur's mouth could not help but cocked slightly, and he looked forward to the meeting in the afternoon.
After returning to Bolin Manor, after a short rest, he started to enjoy his lunch. Now everyone in Bolin Castle knows that his earl attaches great importance to lunch and never fools it, which is different from the weakness of England. Lunch culture, you know, there is a popular saying in Britain and the United States that'lunch is for incompetent people', which shows their attitude towards lunch.
However, he has been accustomed to the lunch habit for more than two decades, how could Arthur easily change it. As the owner of the castle, an earl, how could he be wronged, not only to make the castle pay attention to lunch, but also to strive for rich and delicious food. This is also an important change brought about by his new earl.
Eat breakfast like an emperor, lunch like a nobleman, and dinner like a beggar.
Now it seems that this sentence is used by many people to admire the eating habits of Westerners, and it seems that it is a sentence made by the Chinese themselves.
Hehe, some people think that foreign moons are rounder, water is sweeter, and electricity bills are cheaper...
Well, as an Earl of England, it seems that if he complains like this, he is a bit inhuman from the inside and out, cough.After lunch, Arthur plunged into the study again.
It was not that he was in a hurry to write a novel, but he put the things he wanted to auction off on the table one by one, looking at the four albums on the table, the twenty-eight square seal stone, and the three-legged Xuande incense burner. 108 golden amber pearls, ivory bracelets with melon ridges, Mengchen copper-handled purple sand pot, carved dragon white jade plate, and pair of'heavyware' gilt single ear vases with engraved flowers made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Arthur took the dragon-carved white jade plaque and gently stroked his fingers along the carved lines. While lamenting the warm jade quality, he also admired the superb engravers, although Arthur did not have such superb discrimination ability. , But through the quality of jade, one can also guess that the value of this jade medal is extraordinary.
To be honest, the reason why he put out everything this time, except that a part of it will be sold for auction, the three things, the melon-shaped tooth bracelet, the golden amber pearl and the carved dragon white jade medal, are hoping to take this opportunity. Let the experts of the auction house help him identify and date.
Collection, you can't collect it in a silly way, right?
For the people of the Grand Vader auction house, since receiving a call from the butler of the Earl of Bolling, he learned that the contemporary earl of the Bolling family, who has passed on for hundreds of years, intends to take out a batch of antiques and give them to the auction house for auction. For antiques within the scope of the celestial dynasty, it is really important.
For these veteran noble families, their auction houses have never doubted the heritage of hundreds of years, and some of the auction antiques that have created sky-high prices are mostly flowed out of these noble families.
A manager of the Asian Department, two senior experts in ancient Chinese antique appraisal, two assistants and two security guards, three cars, one of which is a fully enclosed transport vehicle, at 1:50 pm At that time, we drove into the picturesque Bolin Manor.
Arthur, who heard the news, took the housekeeper Paul to stand on the steps in front of the castle's main entrance with a smile on his face, welcoming guests from afar.
After the two parties met, there was naturally a polite meal. After that, Arthur and the butler Paul led the other five people besides the two security guards in the escort into the historic Bolin Castle.
Along the way, the five people of the Grand Vid Auction House were attracted by the historical heritage and luxury of Bolin Castle, whether it was the display cabinets of various exquisite porcelains, the marble sculptures of various periods displayed on the corridor, and the portraits. The antiques made them feel deeply shocked and deeply felt the heritage of the Bolin family.
After turning, there is another long corridor full of marble carvings.
Walking in such a long corridor, I feel a little depressed inexplicably, perhaps because the marble always gives people a cold feeling, or perhaps the overwhelming artwork is dizzying.
French chairs from the 18th century are placed in the corridors for sitting and resting...
A famille rose vase suspected of the late Qing Dynasty is placed on a mahogany square table with flowers...
The 17th century tower-shaped relief vase filled with red tulip flowers has a unique design...
The ancient Isfahan carpets from about the 18th century were placed on the floor of the study room and let people step on them...
It's really a violent thing, simply extravagant and cruel!
Two senior appraisal experts, at this moment, they are dripping blood. This is still the tip of the iceberg. There may be how many precious cultural relics and antiques scattered in this old castle. It's a crime...
However, they can only watch and complain in their hearts, but at the same time, they are also increasingly looking forward to seeing such a nobleman who wants to take out the auction!
