Chapter 57: The Rabbit Who Was Waiting for the Rabbit Really Crashed into It!
Good times are always in love, and the same good times always make people feel that time flies quickly.
No matter how much they were infatuated with each other's warm embrace, Emilia boarded the train back to London on Monday morning after a crazy and enthusiastic night.
This weekend is undoubtedly a new beginning of life for Amilia, Arthur painted her with the most colorful brush, and this weekend will become a beautiful memory that Emilia and Arthur will never forget for the rest of their lives.
Despite the reluctance to give up, Emilia decided to return to London, because she understands the importance of work to her personally and cherishes every opportunity to work. For her, being an actor is not only a job, but also her dream since she was a child, so she knows how to grasp every opportunity to play.
Arthur did not stop Emilia's decision because he could make himself happy, smart people will never let the other party decide between dreams and love, especially in the West, a world that pays more attention to the pursuit of individual happiness and the realization of individual values, the education and values that people receive since childhood are to attach importance to the pursuit of personal happiness, emphasizing that personal happiness is the highest purpose and value of life.
What's more, Arthur doesn't have the idea of drinking only one scoop of weak water for three thousand, it is easy to fall in love and difficult to get along, and distance produces beauty, so it is better to retain this little part, and it is more harmonious to be newlywed.
Standing on the platform, Arthur had a reluctant look on his face, waved goodbye to Alimia, who was already sitting on the train near the window, and watched the train start and slowly leave the station, Arthur turned to the butler Paul and said, "Let's go." ”
At the same time, in the conference room of the BBC's biggest rival, the British DU Littel, a discussion is taking place around him, Arthur Boleyn.
British du Li TV, English abbreviation ITV. Officially opened in 1955, it is the earliest commercial television station in the United Kingdom and one of the largest comprehensive television stations in the United Kingdom. It covers the whole of the United Kingdom, and in the beginning, it was made up of 15 operators, with a standing emblem and identity. However, since 2003, only 4 operators have been able to maintain their independent emblems and identities. The other 11 operators have merged with "DU Li TV Co., Ltd." to become the first DU Li TV station.
The UK's second-largest radio and television station is facing an existential crisis due to the effects of the global economic crisis. ITV CEO Adam Klose realised that broadcasters couldn't rely solely on advertising revenue, and decided to develop original content to help the company out of its predicament. To this end, ITVS, a production company focused on local business, was born.
In order to increase its production capabilities, ITVS has recruited talented producers and acquired production companies around the world. ITVS's U.S. division buys majority stakes in a number of entertainment companies. In the UK, ITVS won five companies in one fell swoop, including A&E production companies and comedy companies.
In addition to the expansion in North America and China, ITVS has also extended its tentacles into Northern Europe, including a number of model companies in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and other places. Prepare to alleviate the pressure on the company from the reduction of TV advertising by producing and distributing original programs.
At Monday's regular meeting to decide on the next phase of the original program and TV series to be produced, "Boleyn Manor" was officially on the radar of ITV management when a producer pulled out a stack of printed documents and handed them to ITV CEO Adam Klose.
“。。。 This is a story set in the 1910s during the reign of King George V, the story begins with the Earl of Grantham's family over the inheritance of the family property, showing the British aristocracy and their servants under the strict hierarchy of the world.
When I saw this novel before, I thought it was a fictional story that happened in a fictional manor, but according to the investigation of my subordinates, it is interesting that Boleyn Manor is not only a real manor, but also the owner of the manor, that is, the author of this novel, is really a nobleman, the 30th Earl of Boleyn!"
This background introduction immediately aroused the interest and attention of everyone present, some of whom quickly browsed the excerpts of the novel that were sent to their hands, and some of whom began to whisper and discuss with the people around them.
And ITV CEO Adam Klose, who has long understood everything and has read all the serialized content of "Boleyn Manor" sent by his subordinates, is very emotional, especially since he first read the novel and then checked the information of the author Arthur Boleyn, the surprise at that time is imaginable, but it is only surprised, because from the education and heritage of a noble family, all this can be explained.
It is nothing more than the disgraceful experience of a young and rebellious heir of an earl, and who has never been younger?
"If I made a period drama based on this novel, I think it would be a very good idea. It has all the excellent qualities of the British drama period drama, a huge family story, a character full of contradictions and forbearance, exquisite dialogues, and ups and downs of the story, which hit the hearts of many people, and it brought people to the beginning of the last century, with a modern perspective and writing techniques, showing a classic temperament, which is sighing and convincing.
Through the details of a family's life in an aristocratic manor, nostalgia brings us a rich humanistic experience, showing people the true gentleman's style, British style.
I love this novel so much that I feel I can buy the rights to its film and television adaptation and turn it into a wonderful British period drama, and make it a series comparable to the 95 version of Pride and Prejudice... ”
As soon as ITV CEO Adam Klose said this, it immediately caused consternation among everyone in the conference room, you know, since Adam Klose took over as CEO, not only did he make drastic reforms internally, but also expanded wildly externally, and made successful decisions again and again, making his prestige in ITV increasing day by day.
Since he has spoken to this point and admires this novel so much, everyone present will naturally not say anything more without opening their eyes, but this makes the management present pay more attention to this novel of "Bolin Manor".
After the meeting, Adam Klose called the producer who had recommended the novel "Boleyn Manor" to his office.
"Nigel, the film and television adaptation rights of this novel will be handed over to you to negotiate, the price can be slightly more generous, after all, the other party is a noble earl, and the price is too low, which will make the other party feel that it is an insult. ”
Hearing the CEO's words, Nigel Saud, as a senior producer, couldn't help but ask tentatively: "500,000 pounds should be able to win the film and television adaptation rights of this novel, after all, it is a novel that has not yet been collected and published." ”
"Hehe, I'm sure you've also read the information of this Earl Arthur Boleyn, he has his own publishing house, do you think it will be difficult for him to publish it?
According to your plan, since you are going to make a miniseries, then according to the shooting cost of a single episode of 1 million pounds, a budget of 30 million pounds, according to industry practice, give him 2.5% of the copyright fee, 750,000 pounds, I think our sincerity is enough, no matter what the other party thinks, this price is a very good price for a new writer.
Sometimes, now that you've got your eye on it, don't hesitate to simply tie the offer to your budget rather than spend most of your time haggling for a fixed fee based on big-screen movies, TV movies, miniseries, etc. Adam Klose said with a smile.
"Okay, boss, I know what to do, I'll bring back the good news as soon as possible. Nigel Massat agrees with this plan, which relieves the pressure of negotiations, and he is confident that he will get the rights to adapt the novel.
