After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Dawson politely handed over the business card and said:

"I'm Dawson, the president of Sunrise Films. Our company has produced films such as The Matrix and Pirates of the Caribbean 2."

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 has already been released, so let's not mention it for now.

But The Matrix is ​​currently being screened in the UK. Although Rowling did not go to see it due to financial reasons, she has also heard the name of this movie.

I also learned about the amazing box office of this movie from my friends.

Hearing what Dawson said, Rowling was even more confused.

Such a big man, what to do with her, can't be a liar.

"What do you want from me?"

Rowling looked at Dawson vigilantly, and at the same time carefully hugged her daughter from the side to prevent Dawson from hurting her daughter by doing something suddenly.

Dawson pretended not to see her movements, and said solemnly:

"I want to buy the rights to your novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

As soon as these words came out, great joy flooded Rowling's heart.

But thinking that she hadn't finished writing, Rowling frowned and said:

"But I haven't finished writing yet."

"It's okay, we can buy and pay in advance, as long as you can completely finish the novel within three months after we pay."

"So, how much do you pay?"

Rowling was in urgent need of money at this time, and seeing that Dawson was determined to buy, she directly asked for the starting price.

"For $100 million, buy all the copyrights to Harry Potter."

"In the future, if we need to create a sequel with this name, we will pay you to create it."

"You can't use any Harry Potter elements alone to create other novels in the follow-up. If you want to use Harry Potter elements, you must obtain our permission."

"And the subsequent Harry Potter sequels, the copyright automatically belongs to us."

Rowling only hesitated for a second before responding immediately:

"Okay, if I sign the contract, when will the money come?"

"When will the contract be signed, and when will the money arrive!"

Dawson said with a smile.

"Okay, I can sign the contract anytime."

Rowling said directly.

Dawson's meaning is very clear. He bought out Harry's copyright for US$100 million. If there is a need to create a sequel later, he will contact her again and pay another fee.

However, she can no longer create Harry Potter-related novels by herself, and can only write other works.

However, for Rowling at this time, these are not important.

The astronomical figure of 100 million US dollars went to her mind.

You know, she only earns two hundred pounds a month now.

With 100 million US dollars, buying some property, or buying a stable financial product is enough for her to live comfortably and raise her daughter easily.

Now that she has been rejected for many years, Rowling has long since lost the idea of ​​earning tens of millions with a book.

A book that can earn tens of thousands of dollars and help her get out of the current predicament is enough.

What's more, Dawson offered a price tag of 100 million US dollars.

Seeing that everything was going so smoothly, Dawson showed a smile on his face, took out a contract from his bag and said:

"This is the contract, you can take a look, or do you want me to find a lawyer for you, and I will pay the lawyer's fee."

Rowling hesitated for a moment, but said:

"Then trouble you."

As a college student with a normal IQ, Rowling knew that there were too many contract traps.

Without the help of a professional lawyer, it is easy to be fooled, fall into the trap, and bear huge debts.

Dawson's initiative to help find a lawyer won Rowling great favor for him.

The little girl on the side seemed to understand something, and asked innocently:

"Mom, can we eat delicious food soon?"

"Yes, baby, you're right."

Rowling hugged her daughter and said softly.

A moment later, a lawyer appeared in front of the two of them.

After showing the documents, the lawyer explained each and every item of the contract to Rowling.

Make sure there are no traps in the contract, everything fits Dawson's description, and the penalty for not completing the overtime is only to return the $100 million.

In addition to the very severe punishment for her additional creation of Harry Potter, this contract could not be more lenient.

This made Rowling deeply feel Dawson's sincerity.

Bringing the contract, the three of them and one child came to the bank together. After signing the contract, Dawson directly arranged for the financial transfer to Rowling, and guaranteed 100 million US dollars including taxes, before leaving here.

Looking at Dawson's leaving back, Rowling felt a bit of reluctance.

Although Dawson is not handsome, his demeanor of a successful man, coupled with these aboveboard behaviors, still won the strong favor of Rowling, a divorced lady.

But this thought was only fleeting. Looking at the remaining 50 pounds on her bank card after converting US dollars into pounds, Rowling showed a satisfied smile on her face.

After kissing the daughter in her arms, Rowling smiled and said:

"Honey, what do you want to eat today?"

"I want to eat big lobster."

The clever little one doesn't know so much, seeing her mother's happy appearance, she directly talks about the best food she has ever eaten in her life.

"Okay, mom will take you to eat big lobster!"

Rowling, who has suspended her writing work, is going to have a good meal first, and then go shopping.

After raising your spirits, finish writing Harry Potter as quickly as possible.

At that time, she will be able to put the 100 million US dollars into her pocket with complete peace of mind.

MGM, the executives in the conference room, glanced at each other after reading some of the Harry Potter content published in the newspaper.

One of the relatively younger executives looked at Kevin and said:

"It's an English novel? And it's not quite finished yet?"

Kevin nodded.

"Yes, it is expected that this novel will be published in the near future."

"What we have to do is, as soon as it comes out, push it directly to the best-seller list."

"Then release the news of the adaptation immediately, and prepare a new series of movies at the same time."

Although I don't know why Kevin had to choose this novel, but because of Kevin's previous achievements, the executives present did not raise any objections.

Instead, they began to make plans around Kevin's decision.

Strive to make Kevin the first wave of business plans after becoming the owner of MGM, and directly achieve the greatest success.

In the end, after finalizing a specific implementation plan, Kevin told Leiter to do everything as usual, and turned and left MGM.

Chapter 207 Publicity

The time came ten days later.

Kevin handled the official affairs of MGM, Chenxi Films, and Marvel Entertainment step by step.

Today's office is in Chenxi Movie.

Boom boom boom!

"Come in!"

There was a knock on the door, and Kevin said directly.

The door of Kevin's exclusive office was pushed open by Mitt.

"Kevin, we have already cut the promotional video you want."

"The film will be finished in about ten days at most."

Pushing open the door, Mitt talked to Kevin about the production progress of the rush hour in his own loud voice.

Kevin nodded.

"You find Dawson later, pay 300 million US dollars, and then let the leading actors and actresses go to the TV show to promote, and don't forget to bring the promotional video."

"Before the movie is officially released, we have to copy the heat."

"Then, do you want to participate in the promotion together?"

Mitt asked incredulously.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2, which is a sequel to a blockbuster movie, has relatively less pressure.

But this rush hour was almost entirely shot by him and Zach.

If the movie screwed up, it would be the two of them who would suffer the most.

Although even if they screwed up, Kevin would still support them, but they were too embarrassed to keep Kevin losing money.

Therefore, for every movie, they try their best to make the movie successful.

Among them, Lakaiwen's help in publicity is one of the efforts.

"No, I'm sure the movie will be a success."

"Others don't know, don't you guys know Jack Chen's efforts?"

Mitte sneered.

That's why I stopped talking about asking Kevin to help promote it.

Jack Chen, a series of performances in the movie really opened their eyes, without talking about the connotation.

From the point of view of the movie itself, it is very enjoyable and at the same time relaxed.

There are exciting pursuits and Jim Carrey's funny scenes. The two are mixed together to form a perfect chemical reaction.

According to Mitt's own vision, this is definitely a wonderful commercial blockbuster.

"After the movie editing is finished, I will do the final trimming to ensure that there will be no problems, so you can rest assured."

Mitt smiled, as he answered Kevin's words.

"By the way, where is Zach Schneider?" Kevin asked casually without seeing Schneider.

"He's still editing. I'm sending a promotional video. Why don't I come out and take a break?"

"You go to Zach to get the editing of the first edition as soon as possible. After editing, I will give you a long vacation."

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

Mitt responded, and then turned back to the editing room to start editing.

After Kevin handed over the specific arrangements for these publicity work to Dawson, he left the company.

The exercise of the eight parts of Vajra Kung Fu is really good.

Coupled with the drug recuperation, Kevin found the fun of his youth again. For this reason, he wandered around many of his female friends during this time.

After learning from their mouths that he did answer more violently than before.

Kevin is more diligent in practicing the eight parts of Vajra Kung Fu.
