11 Publication of the novel Final Part

After finishing the coffee, they went to the restaurant where Liam worked, the administrator was surprised to see that Liam returned with a middle-aged man.

Ana could not avoid approaching Liam and the middle-aged man to guide them to his table, and in the process he asked Liam about the middle-aged man.

"Liam, who is the man you just arrived with, and why are you smiling." Ana asked, curiously.

Liam, grabbed the menu and went to where Michael was sitting, handed him the menu and returned to Ana.

"Good news, administrator, the man who arrived with me owns a publishing house and we have come to negotiate the contract, about my novel." Liam answered cheerfully.

Ana looked at Liam with a face full of perplexity, then recovering he gave Liam a smiling face, while congratulating him and saying, "Very well, I did not think you would achieve it so quickly, but happiness, see where the editor is waiting for you. "

Liam, after receiving compliments from his co-workers and the administrator, went to Michael to negotiate.

[40 minutes later]

Liam had already successfully negotiated a 7% dividend for royalties. Negotiations encountered problems regarding the copyrights of the film and television.

Michael was an old fox of the publishing circle, there was no way he could not tell the potential that this book would have once it adapted to a script. Liam did not raise any objection to his share of the dividend and this made Michael feel really young and inexperienced, so he proposed that his publisher Random House be responsible for film and television rights, while both share the benefits.

Upon hearing Michael's proposal, Liam bluntly refused: "That is impossible, Mr. Michael, I can promise you that if I continue publishing novels, your publisher will be responsible for publishing them, but you will only receive profits from the book, but not from others. places".

Michael was somewhat taken aback by Liam's decisive rejection, but quickly calmed down and said, "Liam, listen to me, when the" World "wanted to buy the movie and the television rights for the author I told you about earlier, there was the who negotiated with them and made more than a four in profits. "If the author had handled the problem, maybe he had not even won 1 million dollars, that's the difference between an individual and an editorial."

The two continued to argue for more than ten minutes, Michael continued to seduce Liam, even taking the initiative to reduce his share of the copyright dividend.

In the end, Michael discovered, much to his disappointment, that this boy did not look anything like a rookie, but that he looked more like a sharpened shark that had plunged into turbulent waters for years. Although he was not so familiar with his circle of publications, he was able to make precise guesses about the ins and outs of the industry.

What surprised Michael even more was that this young man was not like any impulsive young man of his age. He is not intimidated by age.

Michael smiled bitterly and finally gave up on the copyrights of the Harry Potter film and television and the philosopher's stone.

The following negotiations were carried out without setbacks and both signed a contract quickly.

"Happy association Liam, you will definitely not regret letting me take care of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." After signing the contract, Michael returned to his kind and docile attitude, as if his cunning and cunning manners were no more than an illusion.

"Happy partnership Michael, I hope so too".

The two shook hands, sat down again and began to chat when Liam casually mentioned: "Michael, from your personal connections, is there someone from a movie company?"

Michael's eyebrows jumped: "Of course, otherwise, how do you think I recommended that other novel to" World? "I also have other connections with other film companies that you know, when I was still working at Macmillan, I was once responsible for That's why Liam, if you let my company take over the rights to TV and Harry Potter films and the philosopher's stone, I can directly recommend your book to producers in six different companies. "

Liam shook his head and said, "Let's not raise this problem again, Michael, I will not give up the copyright to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at all, at this point I want to look for work in the entertainment world."

Having extinguished his lighted hopes once more, Michael took a little interest in Liam's comment and out of courtesy asked him, "Could you tell me something about that?"

"Things are like that", Liam reorganized his thoughts: "From what I said, I want to enter the world of entertainment and write the novel is one of my first steps, but I've been working for 1 year of moso and I want to find a job in the world of training. "

Liam briefly narrated his story.

Michael's eyes widened, this guy is really very ambitious.

Michael said: "Liam, if you want to enter the entertainment circle, you can start as an actor but from what you tell me you want a job that does not take long to produce money, I have a friend in Los Angeles, who works as a manager of a power plant. radio, that company their radio listeners were mostly average age 15 to 40 years old, they are looking for a new program for their radio listening, and right now they are in casting ".

Michael, I take out my wallet and I give him a card with the location and the number of the radio company.

I knew that I had to support this child, I had a lot of future.

Liam, listening to Michael, smiled and thanked Michael for his help.
