Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 27 Planning to write a short story (seeking a reward

The success of the first printing of "Jane Eyre" made Kevin very happy, and the publishing house paid him off for the first printing. With the two hundred thousand pounds, Kevin felt a lot more at ease.

He gave his parents £120,000 to pay off all their previous debts. Although the current money is not a lot, Kevin believes that with his fame, the money will come in a lot in the future. He also doesn't worry about the future at all.

What he is thinking about now is which work to write next. There are a lot of writers in the UK, and there are not a few writers who have won the Nobel Prize for Literature and written best-selling books. Therefore, Kevin also began to struggle for a while.

Which one should write Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" or Austin's "Pride and Prejudice" first? Or Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes? Or JK Rowling's "Harry Potter"?

Kevin was thinking in the room when suddenly the phone rang. It's Editor-in-Chief Enni calling. Ever since she signed "Jane Eyre" with Kevin, Enni seemed to be Kevin's manager and called him from time to time.

"Dear Kevin, congratulations, the sales of "Jane Eyre" are so successful, you have become a new generation of best-selling author." Editor-in-Chief Enni said excitedly on the phone.

"Yes, thank you, Dear Editor-in-Chief Enni, it is you who discovered the beauty of "Jane Eyre", then turned it into paper, and let it be displayed in front of the world. You are the biggest contributor to this book. "

"Haha, you are the most humble writer I have ever seen, the most charming writer, and you are a lovable writer."

Enni couldn't help but speak her mind. Yes, since she divorced her ex-husband, Enni has almost been cold-hearted towards men, but after the appearance of Kevin, a confident and talented young man, the iceberg in her heart seemed to be slowly melting.

"Thank you for the compliment. How is it? What's the good thing this time?"

Every time Ennie called, something good happened, so Kevin had a premonition that this time it must be a good thing too.

"You are not only a talented writer, but also a genius prophet. This time is indeed a good thing. Due to the best-selling of the first printing of "Jane Eyre", Cranked Film and Television Company has quickly finalized the film and television contract with us." En Ni asked sincerely.

Film and TV contract? This was the word he heard the most in his previous life, but he didn't dare to think about it. I didn't expect it to be related to him now.

"Is it true? Cranked film and television company settled the film and television contract so quickly?" Kevin confirmed.

Kevin remembers that when he left London, Director Hudson only agreed verbally, but did not come over with a contract. I didn't expect it to be so long, and now it's done.

"Yes, but the contract still needs to be signed by the author, so our colleagues will take the contract to Edinburgh to sign with you in the afternoon, if you have read the contract and are sure there is no problem." Enni said seriously.

In this parallel world, Britain has a lot of respect for original authors because it values ​​literature more. Regardless of whether the novel and the publishing house are a buyout or a sharing contract, when it comes to other copyrights, the original author must agree to it before it can take effect. Therefore, although the London Literary Publishing House has signed the film and television copyright contract, it must be signed by Kevin.

"Of course there is no problem, then just contact me when you come over." Kevin said.

"Okay, we'll send someone over in the afternoon. They'll contact you then.

Come on Kevin, you're awesome. "

After the woman in her thirties said the three words "You are awesome", her face suddenly turned red. what happened? These are just the most common three words, how could there be such a situation? She suddenly remembered that she had said these three words to her ex-husband when she was living with her ex-husband.

God, the other party is still a teenager, what am I thinking---

Someone from the publishing house will come over in the afternoon, which means that Kevin has to take half a day off. So, he called Collison, the head teacher, and told him the facts.

"Yo dear Kevin, you're amazing. As a newcomer, it's amazing to be able to shoot a movie with your first book. Go ahead and do what you want, like you wrote Like Jane Eyre, brave and fearless." Collison encouraged.

"Thank you, my respected Mr. Collison. You are an amazing teacher." Kevin thanked.

After asking for leave from school, Kevin has more free time. Since the people from the London Literary Publishing House are coming to Edinburgh in the afternoon, it is estimated that he will have to meet with them. So, he also told his parents about it.

"Go, son, do what you want to do, there is nothing more meaningful than this." Kevin's father said.

"Yes, dear Kevin, you are now our pride. You know what? Now I walk through the neighborhood every day, and the aunts I know will chat with me and say, 'Hi, your son The writing is fantastic." said Kevin's mother.

"Thank you, dear father and mother, you have endowed me with literary talents. Oh, I will have money again after "Jane Eyre" is made into a movie. At that time, we can buy a house of our own, It's not this simple hut anymore." Kevin said.

Kevin still remembers the days when his father had to delay paying the rent every month because he had no money. Kevin still remembers the days when relatives and friends would lament that the house was too small when they came over. He was reborn, he wrote a book, he wanted to do something for the family, and he wanted to do something useful for the poor old man.

Thinking of writing this, Kevin feels more and more that he must make a career in this parallel world, write books, win awards, enter the film and television industry, and the entertainment industry. Anyway, he wants to become a rich man in this country, be it a literary or local tyrant.

The people from the London Literary Publishing House also called Kevin at this time, and they said that they might not arrive until around three o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, Kevin still has a lot of spare time.

Kevin has many memories of the works of British writers on Earth in his previous life, so he doesn't want to waste this piecemeal time. He plans to use these spare time to write several essays or short stories, and submit them to local magazines or newspapers.

After all, these essays and short stories are classics in the world on earth, and they are full of praise.

When it comes to prose, Kevin thinks of Wall at Time Magazine. Wall had called Kevin after he won the London Literary Competition and was also responsible for the publication of "Meditations on a Broom". Although there were not many short essays, Wall gave Kevin five thousand pounds for the manuscript. It can be seen that the remuneration system of Time Magazine is quite good. So, at this time, Kevin thought of Wall.

Kevin picked up his phone and looked through the recent phone records. Then call Wall.

"Hi, dear Mr. Kevin, today is really a good day, just because you called me." Wall had already noted Kevin's number, so when the phone rang, he already knew It's Kevin calling.

"Dear Mr. Wall, thank you for remembering me. Oh, I want to ask you, do your newspapers still need essays? I want to write some essays for submission recently." Kevin said.

"Of course, it is our honor that you can write a manuscript for "Time Magazine", and it is too late for us to welcome you. Wait a minute, I will send you my private email address, and you can send it directly to my email address." Wall excited Speaking of.

Yes, the champion of the 7th London Literary Contest, whose first work "Jane Eyre" was sold out in a short period of time. If such a character can really write more articles for "Times", then Time's sales are bound to be much better than usual.

Among other things, in the week after Kevin agreed to publish "Musings on a Broomstick" in TIME, TIME's sales had skyrocketed. This also made Wall deeply appreciated by the leaders above.

Therefore, when Wall heard that Kevin was going to contribute to their newspaper, he was completely excited.
