Chapter 31: National Novel Sales List
Dave was shocked by Kim Hyun Tae's high productivity, but he had to put his mind away and read this fairy tale manuscript carefully to see if it could be published and profitable.
The "Song of Ice and Fire" written by Kim Hyun-tae and the first volume of "Lord of the Rings" just given to him are good, they are works that can be published and sold, but both of these novels are magical works, just like Kim Hyun-tae wrote Novels with magical themes are still very skilled.
But now he actually crossed the boundary and made a fairy tale. This is crazy.
At least, in Dave's opinion, it is so.
You say that you write your magic novels well, why write fairy tales? This is a waste of your own brain cells and your own time.
But I still have to take a closer look, otherwise... Well, it seems that the writing is pretty good, they are all very novel short stories.
Dave, who had been thinking about it in his heart, suddenly turned off those careful thoughts and became attentive after reading the manuscript.
Jin Xiantai smiled knowingly when he saw Dave's expression. He clearly knew that Dave was attracted by the story.
At this time, Dave kept flashing in his mind the scenes of his childhood and the stories his mother told him.
As a native of this time and space, Dave certainly understands the fairy tales of this world. Even he himself was influenced by those strange stories throughout his childhood and left a big shadow.
He clearly remembers that he was very naughty when he was a child. As long as he was naughty, his mother would scare him with the story of "a kid-eating boar monster", and his mother also focused on describing how the disobedient child was eaten by the boar monster. the whole process.
Even when I think about it now, Dave will fight a cold war all over.
But in all of Kim Hyun Tae’s fairy tales, you don’t see such content, let alone **** descriptions.
And every story has some metaphors and teachings in it, and it is easy to understand at the same time.
This fairy tale is not only suitable for children, but also for adults.
Even, when Dave looked through the manuscript, he found that each short story was also mixed with hand-drawn pictures. According to the description of the scene in the painting, it obviously echoed the current story.
is not only text, but also pictures. Kim Hyun-tae is really a genius!
Dave is almost certain that if such fairy tales cannot sell well, then he can cut off his head.
"Very good fairy tales, are these all you came up with?"
Dave sat up straight, placed the manuscript gently on the coffee table in front of him, and then asked as usual.
In fact, this question is just to confirm that it is guaranteed by Jin Xiantai himself, and Jin Xiantai needs to have a verbal guarantee.
In fact, Dave’s doing this is simply unnecessary, because in this time and space, the fairy tale ‘created’ by Kim Hyun-tae does not exist at all, so Dave does not have to worry about problems.
But I don't know about these Dave, so he asked this question.
Although his face was a bit hot, Kim Hyun-tae nodded and responded: "Yes, I created all by myself, and there will never be copyright issues. Then Mr. Dave, this fairy tale..."
Kim Hyun-tae admitted that he had independently ‘created’, but he was very shy in his heart because he knew very well that this was a fairy tale he had pirated, and it was not his independent creation at all.
But as long as he doesn't say it, no one will know whether this matter is right or not. Moreover, he has taken the work of another time and space to this time and space, and he is the only person in the world who can do this.
Therefore, he said that he was independently ‘creating’, but there is nothing wrong with it.
"It can be published, and I don't think the sales will be too bad. Your fairy tale can not only be read by children, but also by adults without any problems. It can be said to be a work suitable for all ages."
Dave told the truth without any concealment.
Hearing what Dave said, Kim Hyun-tae knew about the fairy tales. Basically, he was settled, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
Originally, Jin Xiantai was worried that in this parallel time and space, the fairy tale he had pirated would be unacceptable, but now it seems that his worries are simply unnecessary.
Good things are good things everywhere.
"Then this fairy tale and the first volume of "Lord of the Rings", I will give them all to the publishing house for publication and sale. This time I will publish two books, but I really trouble you."
Kim Hyun Tae was very polite.
Dave waved his hand: "Don't say such polite words, it's just publishing two books at the same time, which is not a big deal. For our publishing house, this is not even a big deal."
Indeed, for a large bookseller like California Cultural Press, publishing two novels at the same time is not difficult at all.
It is not impossible to publish dozens of novels at the same time.
Since Kim Hyun-tae can deliver both "Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tales" to the publishing house, and Dave is willing to publish as an agent, the next thing is much simpler.
The contract was drafted, and Jin Xiantai had no opinion after reading it. Then both parties contacted a lawyer and successfully signed a formal publishing sharing agreement.
When everything is done, what Jin Xiantai has to do is to go home to stay or continue his piracy work, and then just get the money when the time comes.
Look, how easy it is.
The publishing agreement was drawn up under the contract of "A Song of Ice and Fire". California Press only took away the English versions of "The Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tales", and the paper books were published in the United States.
The remaining rights and interests such as film and television adaptation, cartoon adaptation, foreign language publishing, etc., are still in the hands of Kim Hyun-tae himself. It can be said that the agreement is very generous.
Even, the share for Jin Xiantai has been increased to 20%.
Jin Xiantai is very satisfied with all this, and it is impossible to pick something up unsatisfied.
The share agreement contract he signed is much better than 99% of the authors, and the treatment he enjoys is even more special.
Therefore, what else can he pick about.
"I will print the manuscript into a book as soon as possible and put it on the shelf for sale in a short time. All this will be completed within a week, so that you can get the first manuscript fee before Christmas Eve."
After the contract was signed, Dave patted his chest to promise Kim Hyun-tae that he would use the fastest speed to fix the sales of "The Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tales", so that Kim Hyun-tae could get the money as soon as possible.
Kim Hyun-tae can still trust Dave's guarantee.
After all, under the publishing house, there is his own printing factory. Dave can start printing after a call from here.
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you one more thing. You have now entered the list of best-selling authors of American novels in 2015. Although the ranking is very low, it also shows the sales of your "Song of Ice and Fire". The prospects are very impressive."
The best-selling authors of American novels?
When Kim Hyun Tae was about to leave, Dave suddenly raised his hand and patted his forehead, telling Kim Hyun Tae something he almost forgot.
Seriously, if it hadn't been for Dave to tell him, Kim Hyun-tae would really not know that he had actually entered this list.
Although it is still unclear what this list is about, it seems to be very powerful to listen to Dave.
"Oh, is it so?"
Because he didn't understand this list, Kim Hyun Tae's reaction was a little weak.
"Oh! You guy, how do you react like this." Seeing Kim Hyun Tae's faint reaction, Dave looked dumbfounded and raised his hand to point to him.
"You don't know what this list is, right?" Dave asked at last.
Kim Hyun Tae nodded, saying that he really didn't know this list.
In the end, Dave had to explain a little bit to Kim Hyun-tae, which allowed Kim Hyun-tae to clearly understand how influential this list is.
The best-selling novel sales list in the United States. As the name suggests, the novels on the list are all very good novels that were sold that year.
But it does not mean that the sales can reach a certain number, then you can be on the list, but you need to be carefully selected by the fiction reviewers, and use the most demanding critical eyes to select some of the most narrative and content novels. To be on the list.
So, this has led to some novels that are very popular but have a bad story ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the content is not very good, and they simply miss this list.
But as a consequence of this, every novel on the list will sell very hot later because of this guarantee.
Basically, whether the novel is good or not, the future sales potential is not big, whether it can be on the sales list can clearly explain the problem.
So Kim Hyun-tae’s "A Song of Ice and Fire" was on the list. Even if it is not high, it is enough to make Dave happy.
At least this shows that the future sales potential of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is good, and it can continue to sell.
Besides, when Kim Hyun Tae's "A Song of Ice and Fire" went on sale, it was already September, and it has only been on sale for less than two months.
was able to be selected into the 2015 bestseller list of American novels in less than two months, which is also worthy of honor.
If "A Song of Ice and Fire" continues to sell, it will not be difficult to reach a higher position on the bestseller list next year.
But anyway, in the United States in this time and space, no one who writes novels does not want their novels to be on this bestseller list.
In addition to bringing fame to oneself, at the same time, one's own income can also be guaranteed in advance.
As a result of the novels on the best-selling list, none of them have experienced unsatisfactory sales, so many people regard this list as a touchstone.
After listening to Dave’s explanation, Kim Hyun-tae came to understand, what is there to care about in this best-selling list of American novels~www.wuxiaspot.com~Bookers are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and most Huo's serial works are all at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
