I am a nobleman in England

As Arthur and the others discussed before, in the cooperation agreement with Du Li TV, the film and television copyright of the sequel to the novel "Bolin Manor" became the focus of dispute between the two parties.

At 750,000 pounds, Du Li TV is willing to pay this high price. In addition to the need to produce a British-era drama, it also wants to buy out the film and television copyright of "Bolin Manor" as a whole, otherwise, it will be based on a new writer like Arthur. The treatment would never get such a good price. As for Arthur's so-called noble title, in the face of economic interests, there is not much face.

The sequel question originally raised by Arthur was temporarily put on hold. After fulfilling the contract of the first part and paying the cost of purchasing the copyright, we will discuss the question of the sequel. He promised to give a fair proposal with the other party's right of first refusal, which was also negotiated by Duli TV. The team refused.

It can be seen that the TV station is determined to buy out a xing and does not want to leave any trouble tail. In their opinion, Arthur's side is a bit too greedy.

In this way, the two sides held their own opinions, and the negotiation fell into a deadlock because of this issue.

"Cuckoo—"

The sound of protest from the invisible stomach made Arthur look at the watch. It was already 12:45 noon. No wonder they would protest. The two parties in the meeting room also fought hard from the previous arguments and changed. The atmosphere is a bit low, and it seems that everyone is a little tired and hungry.

"Hehe, I didn’t expect the time to pass so fast. It’s past 12 o’clock. I’m really hungry. Let’s adjourn the meeting for a while. At noon, I invite everyone to taste the seafood in Southampton. After eating and drinking, we Let's talk." Arthur said aloud with a chuckle, temporarily putting a stop to the continuing deadlock.

"Hehe, let alone, I'm really hungry. Okay, let's take a break first. Thank you Earl Arthur for your generosity." TV station negotiator Nigel Marshat said with a smile and echoed Arthur's proposal. .

"You're welcome, please—"

Arthur stood up from his seat with a smile, and reached out to make an inviting gesture.

The people in the conference room also changed their serious frown expressions, put away the documents with a smile, stood up, chatting and laughing, while following behind Arthur and Nigel Marshat, stepped out of the conference room.

After walking out of the newspaper, everyone got into the car. James, the lawyer who followed Arthur in the car, and Tom of the publishing house, looked at their boss as soon as the door was closed.

"Boss, it seems that the other party's attitude is very firm and will not give in on this issue..." Attorney James said with a serious frown.

Arthur nodded slightly, and smiled helplessly: "Perhaps in their opinion, I'm a bit too greedy..."

"In terms of price alone, the other party is indeed very sincere. In any case, boss, you are a newcomer writer after all, and the film and television rights can be sold at this price before the book is published. It will definitely shock the industry.

Moreover, if this TV series is successful, it will be a large-scale free publicity, which will feed back the sales volume of your novel published by the boss..."As the person in charge of the publishing house, Tom, who knows the market well in the industry, does not want to see the failure of this cooperation. Although he is working for Arthur, he will not only try to please his boss and let the boss make Wrong judgments and decisions.

"Indeed, the price is very fair. It seems that the other party really does not want to pay more. If we really want to facilitate this transaction, we can only make concessions. There is no way, who makes me a newcomer." Arthur Knowing the meaning of his two subordinates, he did not want to lose this opportunity to make money. However, concession returned to concession, but he could not have no favorable conditions.

"The sequel question can be promised to them, but in the future if they want to make a movie, they have to pay me a certain percentage of movie profits."

Lawyer James nodded and said: "This should be fine, this is a custom. And this price is generally 5 to 10% of the total net profit after the movie is released.

However, the concept of total net profit is very vague and often causes disputes between both parties. It may take many days to discuss how to determine this net profit plan."

"Hehe, then discuss it slowly, don't worry." Arthur smiled with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

When James and Tom heard the boss's decision, they both nodded slightly to express their understanding.

TheWhiteStarTavern is a traditional British pub restaurant with a casual and comfortable environment. Although it is not a Michelin recommended restaurant, its dishes are very good. It is one of the famous restaurants in Southampton.

The atmosphere of lunch will naturally not continue the tension of the morning negotiations. Of course, it is a break time, and no one will talk about official affairs in a disappointing way, and the atmosphere is relaxed and harmonious.

When the people at Du Li TV station talked about restoring the scenes in the novel, it took a lot of time and energy to build the set.

"...Actually, you don't need to set up a background at all. The content in the novel is entirely around Bolin Castle. The TV station can shoot directly in Bolin Castle. Bolin Castle is still the same after hundreds of years of wind and rain. Majestic, in this way, Paul can also serve as your consultant, doing several things in one fell swoop. Wouldn't it be possible to restore the content of the novel more perfectly?"

The head of the newspaper, Jerry, smiled while cutting the beef on the plate. He raised his eyebrows brightly and suggested that the du Li TV station was taken aback for a while, and Nigel Marshat looked at him very enthusiastically. Arthur with a smiling face.

"This is a really good idea, I don't know, will Earl Arthur be willing to rent the venue?"

"Let my home appear in the TV series? Ha ha, okay, this proposal is very interesting, why not?" Arthur smiled and nodded and said, but he was very happy in his heart. Sure enough, there is a clever and considerate belonging. Down is really the key to career success.

"Hehe, I don't know if I am lucky enough to visit your castle?"

"Welcome and look forward to your arrival."

"Thank you, Earl Arthur, I am more confident in the success of this TV series..."

Looking at Nigel Marshat’s smile, the smile on Arthur’s face became brighter, while the eyes of the steward Paul on the side shone brightly, and the eyes of his young earl were full of admiration.

Whether it is renting the castle rent or appearing in TV dramas for publicity, this is a great thing for Boleyn Manor. To be honest, the best way to maintain the castle is to open it to the outside world and develop tourism. When the old earl was here, I have always wanted to do this, but because the castle has no reputation and is not a tourist attraction, there is no way to develop tourism projects.

Unexpectedly, the young earl could solve the biggest problem so easily. However, Paul was also a little bit lost. He also understood that the young earl would not stick to Boleyn Manor after all.

Of course, Arthur never thought that if he wanted to be a local tyrant in his life, Boleyn Manor would become his vacation and leisure place, but it would definitely not be his base camp. Whether it was Boleyn Manor or Southampton, for Arthur In terms of his ambitions, the situation is too small. After all, he wants to return to London and enter the world.

The outside world is so wonderful, how could he not take a look and play.

The wind and clouds will swim in shallow water, and Jinlin will swim in the pool!
