Chapter 19
In the quiet booth, Bruce nervously opened the seat for Rowling, put his coat away, and then sat down nervously.
Although I am eager to get Harry Potter, but this method is similar to robbery, especially the mother who is respected by robbery. Bruce's practice in the NBA cannot be used on Rowling. At that time, he had already thought of some excuses, but now that he saw Rowling in person, he couldn't say anything!
"Young man! You don't have to be nervous!" Rowling looked at the big boy in front of her with a smile. Even though she was not much older than him, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous about Bruce when she saw that Bruce was a little nervous like her students. Favor and interest!
"Uh...thank you!" Bruce picked up the bitter coffee with no sugar added on the table, took a sip as a cover-up, and then became angry in his heart, and said simply: "The purpose of my coming to you is the same as that of Warner!! "
"Hehe!" Rowling laughed softly, not saying whether Bruce's straightforwardness was a little rude, but just saying that his nervous appearance made Rowling laugh: "Young man, can I call you Bruce?"
"Of course!" Bruce nodded hurriedly when he heard Rowling's request.
"Uh...Bruce, you know that I am very willing to present the copyright of this series to more people!" Rowling shook her head amusedly, then regained her composure, and said seriously: "Since your purpose and their Same, I don't care how strong or weak your company is, first of all, you must have a plan for filming! I don't want my child to be buried by you!"
"Of course! We will arrange it as soon as possible!" Not to mention that the film company basically has no shadow, only that in order to obtain the copyright of Harry Potter, Bruce has to bite the bullet and agree!
"Okay! I'm talking about my request!" Rowling was extremely confused that Bruce was so easy to talk to. Thinking of Warner's vague remarks before, comparing the two, she is now leaning towards Bruce!
"When I made this film, I was going to be part of the screenwriter, and I was the only one who knew what it was all about!"
"Of course, your request is very reasonable!" Bruce recalled the situation about Harry Potter in his previous life, and Warner did give her this seemingly simple request at that time!
"The filming of this film must be done in the UK, and of course the actors and directors must also be local people in the UK!" Rowling stared closely at Bruce's expression. When this request was made to Warner's representatives at the same time, they were decisive. Although she was slightly shaken in her heart, she still insisted on making her own contribution to this beautiful country, England!
"Uh. Your request..." Bruce looked at the other party in surprise, although in his previous life he only paid attention to some scenes of Harry Potter and Rowling's misery, but now he is unaware of this seemingly harsh request !
"This request is my last request. As long as you can agree to this request, then I can only keep the publishing rights of my books!" Rowling expressed her bottom line with some helplessness. Warner didn't mention it at all during the negotiation, but now because she is kind to Bruce like a teacher and a student, she also omitted the following few insignificant requests!
Although he knew that in the previous life, Warner finally got Rowling's copyright except publishing, but Bruce was still shocked by the other party's persistence.
After thinking about it, Bruce said helplessly, "If this is the case, I need the director's right to retain, and everything else can be done according to your requirements. What do you think?"
Bruce also has his helplessness in saying this. Although there are some famous directors in the UK, this movie that can be made into a magical masterpiece is basically not suitable. In his expectations, although he is a bit wishful thinking, he is still a little bit It wants James Cameron, who came to the world's attention with "Titanic" just last year, to direct the film.
Seeing that Rowling was still a little hesitant, Bruce shrugged helplessly: "You know how much control and grasp of the film it will take to make this work into a movie, and once this movie is made successfully, I think everyone will Everyone wants a perfect Harry or even Voldemort! What do you think?"
"This." Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she just got out of the predicament of life, and she knew the importance of directors for big productions, but she still felt a little regretful in her heart. Rowling subconsciously stirred her coffee cup, wrinkled His brows froze with some difficulty in making a choice.
The tranquil atmosphere did not bring a little bit of calm to Bruce, and this kind of tormenting silence made the tension in his heart more apparent.
In the end, Bruce slumped down on the chair because of his anxiety and nervousness, and said with some regret, "Ms. Joanne, it seems that my arrival has caused you some trouble. You don't need to accommodate me like this." , I understand your thoughts very well, if it were Huaxia, I would definitely be like you!"
Rowling, who was already a little loose, hesitated for a moment after listening to Bruce's sincere words, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "As long as you promise to keep everyone except the director and the shooting location unchanged, our deal can be concluded immediately!!"
surprise! !Big surprise! !Originally, Bruce had already made plans to go home, but now he suddenly heard that Rowling finally agreed. For a moment, it was like a huge gap between hell and heaven in an instant.
Staring blankly at the helpless Rowling, Bruce asked subconsciously, "You agreed?"
"Yes! As long as you promise and a written agreement!" Rowling said bluntly. Now that an agreement has been reached, her decisive and tenacious character still made her do it!
"Oh! God!!" Bruce stood up with a face full of surprise. For a moment, he really wanted to kiss her hard. He waved his hands back and forth helplessly. With a smile on his face, he smiled brightly, and sat down a little excitedly!
"Little Bruce, you are really a child!" Rowling covered her mouth and chuckled, as if she had seen her student before she knew it, she felt a kind of kindness for a while!
"Uh... I'm sorry, Ms. Joanne, I'm just too excited!" Bruce whispered excitedly, wiped his face vigorously, regained a little calm, and said, "You haven't waited for me to tell you the purchase price, Why did you agree like that?"
"Is this necessary?" Rowling smiled and shook her head. She is not so eager for money now. Since she bid farewell to her daughter's embarrassment in the past, her attitude towards money has changed a little!
"Of course!" Bruce suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at the other party seriously, and said, "Although it's a bit rude, I want to know how much the people from Warner will offer you!!"
"Uh..." Rowling looked at the other party with some surprise, and the stubbornness on Bruce's face clearly told her "I'm serious".
Shaking her head helplessly, Rowling didn't know how many times she had shaken her head in front of this big boy. After thinking for a while, she said, "The price they offered is 100 million US dollars!!"
"What? 100 million??" Bruce looked at her in disbelief. Even though he had watched every episode of Harry Potter in his previous life, he was still shocked by the price that was similar to "picking up" a treasure!
"That's right! If you think the price is high, we can talk again!" Rowling looked at the shocked Bruce with some puzzlement, and couldn't help being surprised at his appearance!
"This. This." Bruce sat there in a daze, because this huge "treasure" could still be "bargained" for a long time without saying a word!
"Little Bruce, this price is already very good!" Rowling said as a matter of course, but she didn't know that Bruce was really shocked by her casual words!
"Okay!" Bruce took a long time to come back to his senses, took a deep breath, and a trace of anger towards Warner flashed in his eyes. The "practice" has a very strong cognition!
"Joanne! I'm preparing a film company now!" Bruce looked expectantly. Seeing Rowling's extremely surprised expression, he hurriedly said, "At the same time, I'm also the owner of the Golden State Warriors! It's about financial resources. You don't have to worry!"
"You... are you Bruce Young?" Rowling looked at him in surprise, and was extremely surprised by this young man who had been widely reported by the media!
"Yes!" Bruce said in surprise, and then remembered the things that were reported all over the United States when he just got the Warriors. It's nothing if Rowling heard some of these things.
"You...don't treat my child as a "toy"!" Rowling looked at Bruce nervously. Although she didn't know much about him, she still remembered what was said in the newspaper at the time. His description!
"Uh...Of course not!" What he said at the time was just a joke, but Bruce is still a little depressed now.
From Bruce's somewhat embarrassed but serious expression, Rowling still believed his words for some reason, then nodded and said, "When will we complete the agreement?"
"Uh...you really have to listen to my conditions!" Surprised by her persistence, Bruce hastily stated the conditions he had wanted for a long time: "This film company, I will give you 20% of the shares, in exchange for Shares to purchase your copyright and the right to purchase other works of yours in the future. Of course, you can refuse!"
"You." Rowling couldn't describe her feelings anymore, just this one sentence shocked her to the point of unbelievable. Even Warner had never proposed such a generous condition, although she didn't know the company's status. The specific capital flow, but she still shook her head hastily, and said: "There is no need for this, as long as you can guarantee the conditions I put forward, my other works will definitely choose your company first!"
"Uh. You still have the right to think that I am an alternative "bundle"!" Bruce jokingly interrupted what Rowling was about to blurt out, got up and walked to the position near the window, and took out the embarrassing "huge" mobile phone in his arms. Phone, dialed Chris's number, and nodded apologetically to Rowling!
After 15 minutes, Bruce hung up the phone of Chris, who was still yelling, apologetically, and returned to his seat, saying, "Ms. Rowling, my partner is already trying to acquire a film company. Could you wait a few days if you don't mind?"
"Little Bruce, you really don't need to do this!" Rowling looked helplessly at the young man in front of her who was "spending a lot of money", thought for a while, and said, "If this is the case, I will only accept up to 10% of your money." Equity!" As he spoke, he interrupted Bruce, who still wanted to say something, and said, "If this request cannot be fulfilled, our agreement can also be terminated!"
Bruce stared blankly at this great mother, a little hard to understand the other party's intentions. He said that this way of buying already had other purposes in it. In order to better get Rowling's potential publicity, he deliberately put the This method similar to "kidnapping" tied her tightly into her plan, but now judging from the other party's expression, there was no room for negotiation at all!
"Okay!" Bruce nodded helplessly, and then said with a smile on Rowling's face, "I hope you and your daughter will have a perfect trip to Auckland!"
New year and new atmosphere, I wish all my friends, in the new year, happy family, healthy family, good luck in everything, and great luck in the Year of the Horse! ! !
