Chapter 48: Information I Almost Overlooked

After lunch, it was another quiet afternoon.

Kim Hyun-tae has developed a habit recently, that is, he likes to go to the back garden every afternoon, lie on the deck chair under the eaves of the corridor, and stare at the beach outside the garden in a daze.

It's a pity that he won't be able to enjoy these anymore from tomorrow, because tomorrow he has to go to Monica High School to report and start his high school career in this parallel time and space.

After picking up the dishes, washing them and putting them in the dryer, Kim Hyun-tae wiped his hands and went back to the living room.

"Go and have a rest. You must be very tired taking care of the little guy all morning. Just leave the child to me. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon."

After Kim Hyun-tae returned to the living room, he said to Annie.

Annie shook her head again and again: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired, really, you don't have to worry about me here, I can take Coco with you, and you can go about your own affairs, just leave the child to me."

Unexpectedly, Jin Xiantai kindly wanted Annie to take a break, but Annie didn't appreciate it.

Well, since Annie wanted to take care of her daughter, and she also wanted to be alone, so she went along with the flow and stopped asking for this matter.

Looking at Anne and her daughter who had lunch, they were playing with building blocks on the sofa. Jin Xiantai nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, I won't insist. It just so happens that I need to be alone here for a while, so my daughter I will trouble you."

After finishing speaking, Kim Hyun-tae went to the stairs and went up to the second floor, walked into his bedroom, sat down at the desk, and turned on the laptop on the desk.

After the laptop computer started up, Jin Xiantai opened the browser and started to connect to the Internet to check if there were any recent articles criticizing him.

[California Culture Publishing House announced that William King, the contracted novelist under its contract, has been successfully accepted by Santa Monica Public High School and has become an 11th grader...]

Well, this is an announcement issued by California Culture Publishing House on an electronic news media. Looking at the time, this announcement was published an hour ago. Judging from this time, it should be that Dave returned to the publication after parting with himself. The agency asked people to issue this announcement.

The main purpose is also very clear, which is to tell everyone that I have restarted my studies and went to school to study.

In this way, the guy who posted an article attacking himself would have no excuse to continue attacking himself.

After thinking about it, Kim Hyun-tae searched again.

Sure enough, in the recent period, the guy who kept publishing articles criticizing and mocking himself published another article half an hour ago, that is, after the announcement of the publishing house was released.

It's just that this article is not to mock and criticize myself, but to praise myself for being able to listen to good advice and choose the right path.

It can be seen that after Dave made himself choose to study again, and was successfully accepted by Santa Monica University, the other party really couldn't continue to attack him.

The other party's attitude and change made Kim Hyun Tae very happy.

After all, Kim Hyun-tae is also a human being, no matter how broad-minded he is, he will be more or less unhappy when he is ridiculed and criticized like this.

Well now, all troubles are gone.

You don't have to worry about this problem anymore.

In fact, Kim Hyun-tae knew that the other party stopped criticizing and mocking him, not because he continued his studies, but because Anne asked the housekeeper Nord to stop this behavior.

Otherwise, even if Kim Hyun-tae continued his studies, the other party would still have many excuses to continue abusing him.

Literati want to find excuses, but they can find them no matter what.

But Kim Hyun-tae doesn't know what's going on here. Anyway, for him, it's fine for this guy not to continue.

Next, Kim Hyun-tae continued to search for all kinds of information about his novels on the Internet.

For example, he read the impressions after reading, comments from book friends and so on.

After all, the publishing house only published one volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire", and the story is only just beginning. There are a lot of climaxes in the following sections that have not been unfolded, and what is shown now is only the world view in the book. Some related characters, and the main line of the story.

But even the story of "A Song of Ice and Fire" has attracted many readers, and they have the desire to continue exploring and see the development of the following story? see.

It's a pity that only the first volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is sold on the market now. As for the second and third volumes, there is no news from the publishing house at all.

Although Kim Hyun-tae gave Dave three volumes of manuscripts, it is obvious that Dave does not want to publish all three volumes so quickly, but slowly sells them one by one.

After all, this is Dave's business method, and it's not easy for him to intervene in this, so Jin Xiantai will let Dave do it.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, Dave is doing pretty well and has brought him a lot of income, right?

This also caused many readers to discuss on the Internet, saying that the progress of the novel is a bit slow, and it has been a month and there is no news of the second volume being released. In this way, the California Press can publish the second volume as soon as possible, so that everyone can see the follow-up stories.

Cut, what is this?

Seeing some readers' comments, Kim Hyun-tae thought with disdain that in his original time and space, the original author of "A Song of Ice and Fire" really wrote slowly.

It took him more than ten years to write six volumes of novels.

If you do the same, then these readers are not crazy now.

Seeing this, Kim Hyun-tae already knows that in the future, as the story of the novel slowly unfolds, when the third volume of the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" is sold, it can basically be expected that the sales will explode.

Because Kim Hyun-tae knows the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" very well, it will become more exciting as it goes to the end, and it can firmly attract readers.

Now that the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" has a good reputation and has gradually gained a readership, then there is no need for Kim Hyun-tae to worry and worry about the rest.

So next, Kim Hyun-tae closed the current webpage, opened and logged in the official website of the publishing house, entered the background with his author authority, and checked the sales data of the two books "Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tales".

"The Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tales" are "my" new novels that I handed over to Dave a few days ago for California Press to publish.

Dave's action was really fast. In just a few days, both books have been printed and are on sale.

It may be because the time is too short, the sales volume of "Lord of the Rings" is not very high, after all, it is impossible to expect the new book to sell millions of copies in just two days after its release, right?

That's not realistic at all, okay?

Therefore, when Kim Hyun-tae saw that "The Lord of the Rings" only sold 13,000 copies, this sales data, he was not surprised at all.

After all, "The Lord of the Rings" has only been on sale for two days, and it is considered pretty good to be able to sell 13,000 copies in two days.

After knowing the sales data, Kim Hyun-tae looked at the price of "Lord of the Rings" again. The price of 20 yuan was obviously compared with "A Song of Ice and Fire".

The price of 20 yuan is neither high nor low. According to the new royalty sharing agreement, every time you sell a copy of "Lord of the Rings", you can get 20% of the royalty, which is 4 yuan (before tax).

The sales volume of 13,000 copies is equivalent to an additional income of 52,000 yuan.

This is only the sales data within two days, and it will not be so little after one month, so Kim Hyun-tae is still cautiously optimistic about the future sales of Lord of the Rings.

Because judging from the current data, it should be no problem for "The Lord of the Rings" to sell hundreds of thousands of copies a month in the future, and this can also bring him at least one million after-tax income.

good! good!

After silently predicting in his own heart, Jin Xiantai was very satisfied with the final data.

Then, when Kim Hyun-tae saw the sales data of "William's Fairy Tale", he found that this fairy tale was even worse than "Lord of the Rings".

In two days, the sales results were... an absolutely unimaginable 938,467 copies!

So much so that when Kim Hyun-tae saw this data, he couldn't believe it, and even thought that the publishing house made a mistake.

In the end, after contacting the customer service of the publishing house through the background of the publishing house website, after some inquiries, Jin Xiantai finally confirmed that there was no error in the data.

While he was inquiring about the customer service, the data in the background of the publishing house changed again. The sales data of "William's Fairy Tales" had already exceeded 940,000 copies.

I go!

Should it be so powerful, it has only been on sale for two days, okay?

Although it is unbelievable, this is the fact, and Kim Hyun Tae will not believe it.

He couldn't figure out why a children's story book would sell so well, to a level that he hadn't expected.

And the price of "William's Fairy Tale" is not low. Compared with the price of 10 to 15 yuan for children's fairy tale books of the same type, my own storybook is priced at 20 yuan, and this does not stop everyone's enthusiasm for buying.

And this is only two days of sales, and there are still 28 days before the deadline for paying royalties once a month. How many copies of this fairy tale can be sold within these 28 days... Even Kim Hyun-tae himself can't estimate it.

But judging from the popularity of the current fairy tale book sales, it is obviously impossible to keep it low.

Sitting at the desk, Jin Xiantai looked at the background data of fairy tale sales, with a look of astonishment and amused expression on his face.

"A book of fairy tales can sell so well, even surpassing "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Lord of the Rings". God, am I crazy!", Kim Hyun-tae couldn't stop thinking about this and ideas.

In the end, Kim Hyun-tae, who really couldn't figure it out, suddenly had a thing that he ignored flashed through his mind, and then he quickly closed the backstage page of the publishing house that he opened, and then quickly tapped the keyboard with his fingers to enter a series of URLs, and then opened I went to the official website of [North American Screenwriters Guild], then entered my account password, and logged in.

When logging on to the website, Kim Hyun-tae kept whispering: "Negligence, negligence, cartoons are also very profitable. It seems that Disney has made a lot of money with cartoons. How could I forget this? This is My mistake."

"The Lion King", "Prince of Egypt", "Snow White", "Mickey and Donald" (Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck), these names were entered by Kim Hyun-tae in the script search bar of the Screenwriters Association. any display.

Hoo hoo!

Great!

Kim Hyun-tae waved his right hand, his heart was very happy.

Then he took out the phone from his pocket, and after pressing the number key, Kim Hyun-tae dialed Dave's cell phone, and soon Dave answered the phone, "Hello!", Kim Hyun-tae didn't wait for Dave to continue What, he asked in a quick tone: "Mr. Dave, do you know where you can buy a toy manufacturing factory and an animation production company?"

Coincidentally, Annie, who came upstairs with Coco in her arms, walked to the door of Jin Xiantai's bedroom. Hearing what Jin Xiantai said, she was immediately taken aback.

"Is he going to buy a toy factory and an animation production company?"

Coincidentally, Annie outside the room, and Dave on the other end of the phone, both had the same judgment in their minds...
