After lunch, it was another quiet afternoon.

Kim Hyun-tae has recently developed a habit of going to the back garden every afternoon, lying on a deck chair under the eaves of the porch, and looking at the beach outside the garden in a daze.

It's a pity that he won't be able to enjoy this from tomorrow onwards, because he will have to report to Monica College tomorrow and start his high school studies in this alternate plane.

After putting away the dishes, washing them and putting them in the dryer, Kim Hyun Tae wiped his hands and returned to the living room.

"You go and take a rest, you must be very tired from taking care of the little one in the morning, just leave the child to me to bring, anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon." ”

When Kim Hyun-tae returned to the living room, he said to Anne.

Anne 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 bring Cocoa, you can go about your own business, just leave the child to me." ”

Unexpectedly, Kim Hyun-tae kindly wanted Anne to take a break, but Anne didn't appreciate it.

Well, since Anne wants to take care of her daughter, she also happens to want to be alone and quiet, so she doesn't ask for this anymore.

Looking at Anne and her daughter who had lunch, the two were playing with blocks on the side of the sofa, Kim Hyun-tae nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't insist, it just so happens that I also need to be alone here for a while, so my daughter will trouble you." ”

After saying that, Kim Hyun Tae went up the stairs to the second floor, walked into his bedroom and sat down at the desk, and opened the laptop on the desk at the same time.

As the laptop booted up, Kim Hyun-tae opened his browser and began to connect to the Internet to see if he had recently criticized his own articles.

[California Culture Press released news that William King, the author of its signed novel, has been successfully accepted into Santa Monica Public High School and became an 11th grader......]

Well, this is a notice issued by the California Cultural Publishing House on an electronic news media, looking at the time, this announcement was released an hour ago, so judging from this time, it should be Dave and himself separated, as soon as he returned to the publishing house, he let people release this notice.

The main purpose is also very clear, that is, to tell everyone that he has restarted his studies and gone to school.

In this way, the guy who publishes articles to attack himself will have no excuse to continue attacking himself.

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

Sure enough, in the recent past, the guy who has been publishing articles criticizing and ridiculing himself published an article again half an hour ago, that is, after the publication of the publisher's notice.

It's just that this article is not ridiculing and criticizing myself, but praising myself for being able to listen to well-intentioned advice and choose the right path or something.

It can be seen that after Dave let 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 to be ridiculed and criticized like this.

Well, now all the troubles are solved.

You don't have to worry about that anymore.

In fact, Kim Hyun-tae knew that the other party no longer continued to criticize and ridicule him, not because he continued his studies, but because Anne asked the housekeeper Nord to stop this behavior.

Otherwise, even if Kim Hyun-tae continues his studies, the other party will still have many excuses to continue to abuse.

Literati want to make excuses, how can they find it?

But Kim Hyun-tae didn't know what was going on here, anyway, for him, it was okay if this guy didn't continue.

Next, Kim Hyun-tae continued to search for all kinds of information about his novels on the Internet, such as his feelings after reading, book friends' evaluations, etc., and he looked at them all.

After all, "A Song of Ice and Fire" has only been published by the publishing house, and the story has only just begun.

But even this story of "A Song of Ice and Fire" has attracted many readers, and they have the desire to continue to explore and see how the story develops.

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

Although Kim Hyun-tae handed Dave the manuscript of the three volumes, it was obvious that Dave did not want to publish all three volumes so quickly, but slowly took them out and sold them one by one.

After all, this is Dave's business method, and he is not good at interjecting about this, so Kim Hyun Tae is also Dave.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, Dave is doing well, and he has brought himself a lot of income, hasn't he?

This has also led to many readers discussing on the Internet, saying that the progress of the novel is a little slow, and there is no news about the release of the second volume after a month, which is too torturous...... Some people even hope that the second volume can be published by the California publishing house as soon as possible in this way of online signature, so that everyone can see the follow-up story.

Cut, what is this?

Seeing the comments of some readers, Kim Hyun-tae thought disdainfully that in his original time and space, the original author of "A Song of Ice and Fire" was the slow to write sincerely.

The six volumes of novels before and after made him write for more than ten years.

If they had done the same, they wouldn't have gone crazy by now.

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

Because Kim Hyun-tae knows the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" very well, it is more exciting the later it goes, and it can firmly attract readers.

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

So then Kim Hyun Tae closed the current web page, opened and logged in to the official website of the publishing house, entered the background with his author's permissions, and checked the sales data of the two books "The Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tales".

"The Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tales" are the new novels of 'myself' that I handed over to Dave a few days ago for publication by a California publishing house.

Dave's side was really fast, and in just a few days, both books had been printed and went on sale.

Maybe it's because the time is too short, the sales of "The Lord of the Rings" are not very large, 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.

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

After all, "The Lord of the Rings" has only been on sale for two days, and the number of 13,000 copies that can be sold in two days is already very good.

After learning about the sales data, Kim Hyun Tae looked at the pricing of "The Lord of the Rings" again, and the price of 20 yuan was obviously compared to "A Song of Ice and Fire".

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

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

This is only two days of sales data, and it will be more than so little in a month, so Kim Hyun Tae is still cautiously optimistic about the future sales expectations 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 itself at least one million after-tax income.

Not bad!

Kim Hyun Tae silently predicted it in his heart, and was satisfied with the final data.

And then when Kim Hyun Tae saw the sales data of "William's Fairy Tale", he found that this fairy tale was more against the sky than "The Lord of the Rings".

In two days, the results of the market sales were actually ...... An unimaginable 938,467 copies!

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

In the end, after contacting the publisher's customer service through the publisher's website, Kim Hyun-tae finally determined that there was no error in this data.

And at the time when he asked customer service, the data in the background of the publishing house changed again, and the sales data of the "William's Fairy Tales" story has exceeded 940,000 copies.

I'll go!

Don't you want to be so powerful, it's only been on sale for two days, okay!

It's unbelievable, but it's the truth, and Kim Hyun-tae can't believe it.

He couldn't understand why a children's storybook would sell so well, to such an extent that he didn't even expect it.

And the price of "William's Fairy Tales" is not low, compared with the price of 10 yuan ~ 15 yuan for children's fairy tale books of the same type, the price of their own storybooks is 20 yuan, and this has not stopped everyone's enthusiasm for buying.

And that's just two days of sales, and there are still 28 days left before the monthly royalty deadline, how many more copies of this fairy tale can be sold in these 28 days...... Even Kim Hyun-tae himself doesn't estimate it.

But judging from the current popularity of fairy tale book sales, it is obvious that it cannot be low.

Kim Hyun-tae sat at his desk, looking at the backstage data of fairy tale sales, and the expression on his face looked a little stunned and amused.

"A fairy tale can sell so well, even more than "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "The Lord of the Rings", oh my God, am I crazy!", Kim Hyun Tae's heart couldn't help but flash such thoughts and thoughts.

In the end, Kim Hyun Tae, who really couldn't figure it out, suddenly flashed something in his mind that he had overlooked, and then he quickly closed the open backstage page of the publishing house, and then quickly tapped his finger on the keyboard and entered a string of URLs, opened the official webpage of the [Screenwriters Guild of North America], and then entered his account password and logged in.

When he logged 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 can I forget this, this is my mistake." ”

"The Lion King", "Prince of Egypt", "Snow White", "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck" (Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck), these names were entered by Kim Hyun-tae into the screenwriting guild's script search bar, and nothing was displayed after a search.

Whew!

That's great!

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

Then he took out the phone from his pocket, and after pressing the number button, Kim Hyun Tae dialed Dave's mobile phone, and soon Dave picked up the phone "Hey!", Kim Hyun Tae didn't wait for Dave to continue to say, so he quickly asked first: "Mr. Dave, do you know where to buy a toy manufacturing factory and an animation production company?"

Coincidentally, Anne, who came upstairs with Coco, walked to the door of Kim Hyun-tae's bedroom, and when she heard Kim Hyun-tae's words, she immediately shook her head.

"He's buying a toy factory and an animation company?"

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