Chapter 19: Planned direction of piracy
When I came to this parallel time and space, more than half a year had passed. During this half year, the lives of Jin Xiantai and his daughter could not be considered stable.
But now, Kim Hyun-tae is the first step in a stable life and begins to live a peaceful and leisurely life.
After moved to a new house, in the first few days, he kept buying some daily necessities from the supermarket and returning food for storage.
About two days later, he ended this life and began to devote himself to the great cause of piracy.
At this age of time and space, the daughter is also eight months old, and has regrown teeth, and at the same time begins to crawl all over the floor again. This is a way for Jin Xiantai to liberate his hands a little, and he does not need to hold or carry the little girl all the time. Guys.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae has more personal time and can make full use of him.
And although my daughter crawls everywhere, she doesn't do some dangerous things, so Kim Hyun-tae does not have to worry about her daughter's side at all, and can devote all his energy to his piracy business.
That cheap second-hand laptop computer has been abandoned by Kim Hyun Tae and replaced with a brand new computer with more powerful functions, faster and better running speed.
Because of the monthly rent payment, and the other party has not yet collected the deposit, Jin Xiantai has plenty of cash in hand, which can fully meet his small material needs.
And Dave from California Culture Press also notified Kim Hyun-tae two days later that the novel would be published in two days. This speed made Kim Hyun-tae speechless.
But Kim Hyun-tae was still happy about this. After all, the novel went on sale one day earlier, so he could get the royalty share one day earlier.
Dave told him that there is no need to worry about the novel. All things related to promotion will be handled by the publishing house. What Jin Xiantai has to do is to stay at home and wait for the news, and wait until the novel is sold for a month to get the royalty points.
For this arrangement, Kim Hyun-tae was happy to accept it, and he didn't even think about the publication of the novel. It would be good to leave it to Dave.
On this day, the scorching sun continued to emit heat, bringing high temperatures to the entire Los Angeles area. Kim Hyun-tae was carrying out his own piracy business in the back garden, and his daughter Coco was happy in the inflatable swimming pool bought by Kim Hyun-tae. play.
The little guy seems to like to play in the water very much. Since Mr. Kim Hyun-tae bought an inflatable swimming pool, stored water in it and put the little guy in, the little guy immediately reluctant to play.
The water temperature in the inflatable swimming pool is not low, especially when Kim Hyun-tae is still free for half a day, and the temperature is high during the day, so he is not worried that his daughter will catch a cold when playing in the water.
And he didn't store too much water in the inflatable pool, only to the position of his daughter's belly when Coco sat down.
My daughter is having fun and can't take care of herself at all, so Kim Hyun-tae can spare some time to start the piracy business without interruption.
My fingers flicked and tapped on the keyboard of the laptop, and English characters were quickly tapped in the open document.
Look at the name of the document, it turned out to be "Lord of the Rings".
Yes, since it wants to pirate, Kim Hyun-tae must choose some books that will sell well. For example, "Lord of the Rings" is a good pirated choice.
Even after Kim Hyun-tae decided to pirate "The Lord of the Rings", he would continue to pirate the books of "Harry Potter", "Twilight" and "The Hobbit", and he would be able to derive novels for film and television dramas. .
At the same time, while he was still thinking about pirating these novels, he registered with the West Coast Screenwriters Guild in this time and space through the Internet, and put the scripts of these novels on it.
And, in addition to the scripts of these novels, Kim Hyun-tae will also put out some movie scripts that can be made for several sequels.
Like "The Bourne", "Hurricane Rescue", "Resident Evil", "Transformers" and so on, but Kim Hyun-tae doesn't bother to pirate the sequel.
Benefited from traversing the time-space tunnel and being affected by the mysterious energy matter in the time-space tunnel, Jin Hyun-tae now has a good memory, and he can clearly and detailedly recall the movies he has seen, including novels.
And because of the increase in intelligence, he now learns any knowledge very quickly and can be absorbed in a short time, so he writes in English, there is no problem at all.
Moreover, his current Spanish, French and Italian have been proficient in reading and writing communication from scratch in the past six months, and he has also started self-study in Japanese, Russian, German and other languages. Made some achievements.
But the change in language learning ability is not the most conspicuous. The most conspicuous is the ability of Kim Hyun-tae to quickly learn and absorb any knowledge. This is the most abnormal.
It's a pity that Jin Xiantai now puts this ability and advantage on the pirated novels, but selectively ignores this point, which makes people feel a little sad.
Jin Xiantai can type very fast, he can do as many as 12,000 words an hour, without any pause in the middle, except for the sound of his typing on the keyboard, you can't hear other sounds at all when standing beside him Up.
And Jin Xiantai also has a good plan for the time of day.
In the morning, he was specially used to pirate novels, and in the afternoon he was used to pirate scripts. At night, he would spare time to play with his daughter, so as not to let her daughter feel lonely because of himself.
In this way, as time passed, Kim Hyun-tae also quickly completed pirated novels and scripts one after another. In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and it was the beginning of September in the summer.
Within half a month, Kim Hyun-tae completed the pirated version of "Lord of the Rings", and "The Hobbit" was also pirated more than half.
Annie, who is far away in New York, uses a hidden monitor to fully understand what Kim Hyun Tae’s life has been like in the past half month.
"This guy writes and writes every day, doesn't he know to do something else?", I saw Kim Hyuntae's non-stop writing on the computer every day for half a month, and Annie couldn't help but vomit. I spit about it in my heart.
Nowadays, for Annie, besides dealing with bank business and various corporate matters under her control, watching the boy's daily life through a monitor is her greatest joy.
Of course, this kind of behavior is not worth promoting, after all, this thing is very wrong.
But Annie doesn't care at all, who makes her rich and self-willed.
Butler Nord is not here at this time, he went out to deal with other things, so only Annie stayed in the empty luxury apartment.
Of course, the dozens of bodyguards at the door and several maids in the apartment are not counted.
Annie retracted her gaze from the computer screen. It just so happened that some of the documents on hand had been processed. She was now idle, so she thought about it and picked up the black wired phone next to the desk and dialed out.
Soon, the phone connected.
"This is Annie Whiston, I want to ask what is the current sales situation of the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire"?"
It turns out that Annie called Dave's personal cell phone.
Dave on the other end of the phone had a dull expression, which showed that he had never expected that a ‘big man’ like Annie would actually call him in person and ask an author’s novel sales.
But Dave didn’t have time to think about it, and he responded quickly: “Oh, Miss Anne, I’m sorry that you need to take care of this small matter yourself. The sales of "A Song of Ice and Fire" are pretty good, and 800,000 copies have been sold so far. , And sales are still steadily increasing. The publishing house predicts that sales this month can exceed 1.5 million copies..."
only 150 books?
Annie frowned upon hearing Dave's words, and she was obviously not satisfied with the data.
The novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", privately, she asked the housekeeper Nord to buy it back, although Kim Hyun-tae only handed in three volumes of manuscripts, and Dave only published one volume, the second and third volumes. Did not come up for sale.
But only after reading the first volume, Annie herself was attracted by the magnificent fantasy world of the novel and full of intrigues and tricks.
So, in Annie's mind, the sales of this novel should be even hotter.
"Is the publisher's promotion efforts not enough? I also bought a copy of this novel. It is still very exciting and attractive. It stands to reason that the sales should be better. Why is it so?"
Dave grinned at the corner of his mouth, and he was quite noncommittal about Annie's questioning remarks.
It’s just that, even though I think so in my heart, I can’t answer Annie that way.
"Miss Anne, this kind of data is already a big seller. After all, the publication of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is very different from other businesses. As a newcomer author of his first novel, he sold 800,000 copies in half a month. Such data is already very gratifying.
And this data will gradually increase. After all, readers who bought the novel will form a good word-of-mouth propaganda circle after reading it. Through their word of mouth, at the same time, as the sales time of the novel increases, explosive sales will increase. Will appear. "
Dave used simple and clear language as much as possible, so that Annie could understand the meaning of the data.
Seriously, the publishers have done their best to promote.
However, no matter how the publisher promotes, Kim Hyun Tae can’t get rid of the fact that he is a newcomer author, so even if the publisher’s promotion is strong, consumers will need a time to recognize it.
Of course, the content of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is very exciting, so the future sales will be explosive. Dave is still very confident about this.
"Well, I don't know much about the operation of publishing books. Just do what you want. I don't think I can give some opinions indiscriminately and disrupt your plan."
Annie said to Dave on the other side of the phone very kindly.
After casually inquiring about this with Dave, Annie was about to end the call, but before putting down the phone, she suddenly thought of something, so she talked on the phone and confessed to Dell. Said: "By the way, you remember to find a lawyer and an accountant for that boy. The copyright fee will be paid in a month. If he forgets to file a tax return, this is not a good thing. You have to think about it for him."
