Chapter 19 Planned Piracy Directions
Coming to this parallel time and space, more than half a year has passed since I pinched my fingers, and the lives of Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter in this half-year period can be said to be not stable.
But now, Kim Hyun-tae has taken the first step into a stable life and has begun to live a peaceful and leisurely life.
After moving to a new home, in the first few days, he kept buying some groceries from the supermarket and storing food.
It took about two days for him to put an end to his days and devote himself to the great cause of piracy.
At the age of this time and space, her daughter is also eight months old, and she has regrown her teeth, and at the same time she has started to crawl all over the ground again, which can be regarded as allowing Kim Hyun Tae to free his hands a little, and he no longer has to hold or carry the little guy all the time.
Therefore, Kim Hyun Tae's personal time has increased, which allows him to make full use of it.
And although her daughter is crawling around, she won't do some dangerous things, so Kim Hyun-tae doesn't have to worry about her daughter's side at all, and she can focus all her energy on her piracy business.
That cheap second-hand laptop has been ditched by Kim Hyun Tae and replaced with a brand new computer that is more powerful, faster and better.
Due to the monthly payment of rent and the fact that the other party has not yet collected a deposit, Kim Hyun-tae has plenty of cash in his hand, which can fully meet his small material needs.
And Dave's side of the California Cultural Publishing House also informed Kim Hyun Tae two days later that the novel would be published and launched in two days, which made Kim Hyun Tae staggered.
But Kim Hyun-tae is still happy about this, after all, the novel is released one day earlier, so he can get the royalty one day earlier.
Dave told him that there is no need to worry about the novel, everything related to promotion will be handled by the publishing house, and all Kim Hyun Tae has to do is to stay at home and wait for news, and wait until the novel starts to sell for a month and get a royalty share.
For this arrangement, Kim Hyun Tae is also happy to accept it, and simply doesn't think about the publication of the novel, and it is good to leave it to Dave to deal with.
On this day, the scorching sun continued to radiate heat, bringing high temperatures to the entire Los Angeles area, while Kim Hyun-tae was engaged in his piracy business in the back garden, and his daughter Coco was playing happily in the inflatable swimming pool that Kim Hyun-tae bought.
The little guy seems to like to play in the water very much, and the arrogant Kim Hyun Tae bought an inflatable pool, and after storing water in it and putting the little guy in it, the little guy immediately started to play.
The water temperature in the inflatable pool is not low, especially when Kim Hyun-tae has been empty for half a day, and the temperature is very high during the day, so he is not worried that his daughter will catch a cold when she plays 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.
The daughter had a good time and couldn't take care of herself at all, so Kim Hyun-tae was able to spare some time to carry out the piracy business without being disturbed.
Fingers flicked across the laptop's keyboard, and English characters were rapidly tapped into the open document.
Look at the name of that document, it's actually "The Lord of the Rings".
Yes, since he wants to pirate, Kim Hyun Tae will definitely pick some pirated books that will sell well, for example, this "Lord of the Rings" is a good piracy choice.
Even, after Kim Hyun-tae decided to pirate "The Lord of the Rings", he will continue to pirate "Harry Potter", "Twilight", "The Hobbit" These books are big sellers, and he can also derive novels from film and television dramas.
At the same time, while he was also thinking about pirating these novels, he registered the West Coast Writers Guild of the United States through the Internet in this time and space, and got out the scripts of these novels and put them on it.
And, in addition to the scripts of these novels, Kim Hyun-tae will also put some movie scripts that can make several sequels on them.
Like "Spy", "Hurricane Rescue", "Resident Evil", "Transformers" and so on, but if you can't shoot a sequel, Kim Hyun-tae is too lazy to pirate.
Thanks to traveling through the time tunnel and being mutated by the mysterious energy matter in the time and space tunnel, Kim Hyun Tae now has a good memory and can recall these movies he has seen in detail, including novels.
And because of his intellectual growth, he now learns any knowledge very quickly and can absorb it in a short time, so he has no problem writing in English at all.
Even, his current Spanish, French and Italian have been proficient in reading and writing from scratch in the past six months, and he has also begun to study Japanese, Russian, German and other languages on his own, and has already made some achievements.
But the change in language learning ability is not the most conspicuous, the most eye-catching thing is Kim Hyun-tae's ability to learn and absorb any knowledge quickly, which is the most perverted.
It's a pity that Kim Hyun-tae now puts this ability and advantage on pirated novels, and selectively ignores this point, which makes people sigh a little.
Kim Hyun-tae typed very fast, he could do as many as 12,000 words an hour, and there was no pause in between, except for the sound of him tapping on the keyboard, you can't hear anything else when you stand next to him.
And Kim Hyun-tae also has a good plan for the time of day.
In the morning, he used it to pirate novels, in the afternoon he used to pirate scripts, and in the evening, he spent time to play with his daughter, so that her daughter would not feel lonely because of himself.
In this way, time passed day by day, and Kim Hyun-tae also quickly completed one pirated novel and script after another, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the beginning of September in the summer.
In this half a month, Kim Hyun-tae completed the piracy of "The Lord of the Rings", and "The Hobbit" also pirated more than half.
Anne, who is far away in New York, fully understands what Kim Hyun-tae's life has been like in the past half a month through a hidden monitor.
"This guy just writes and writes every day, doesn't he know how to do something else?", for half a month, I saw Kim Hyun-tae writing non-stop from the computer every day, and Anne couldn't help but spit in her heart and complained.
Today, for Anne, in addition to the daily banking business and the various businesses she controls, watching the boy's daily life through the monitor is her greatest pleasure.
Of course, this kind of behavior is not worth promoting, after all, it is very wrong.
But Anne didn't care at all, who made her rich and capricious.
The butler Nord was not there at this time, and he went out to attend to other things, so Anne was left alone in the empty luxury apartment.
Of course, the dozens of bodyguards at the door, as well as a few maids in the apartment, were not counted.
Anne withdrew her gaze from the computer screen, and just as some of the documents at hand had been processed, she was now idle, so she thought about picking up the black wired phone next to her desk and dialing it.
Soon, the phone was connected.
"I'm Anne Wheatton, and I'd like to ask what the sales of A Song of Ice and Fire are doing right now?"
It turned out that Anne was dialing Dave's personal cell phone.
Dave on the other end of the phone had a dull expression on his face, which showed that he had no idea that a 'big man' like Anne would actually call him in person to ask about the sales of an author's novel.
However, Dave didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly responded: "Oh, Miss Annie, I'm sorry that you need to ask about this little thing yourself, "A Song of Ice and Fire" has sold quite a few copies, 800,000 copies have been sold so far, and sales are still steadily increasing, and the publisher expects that this month's sales can exceed 1.5 million copies......"
Is it only 150 copies?
Anne's golden brow furrowed when she heard Dave say this, obviously she was a little dissatisfied with the data.
The novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", in private, she asked the housekeeper Nord to buy it back, although Kim Hyun-tae only handed in three volumes of the manuscript, and Dave's side only published one volume, and the second and third volumes have not yet been put on sale.
But after reading the first book, Anne herself was attracted by the novel's vast fantasy world and its intrigues and tricks.
Therefore, in Anne's mind, the sales of this novel should be even more popular.
"Isn't the promotion of the publishing house enough? I also bought a copy of this novel and came back to read it, it is still very exciting and attractive, it stands to reason that the sales should be better, why is it so little?"
The corners of Dave's mouth grinned, and he was a little noncommittal to Annie's questioning words.
It's just that, even if I think so in my heart, I can't answer Anne like this.
"Miss Anne, this kind of data is already a big seller. After all, publishing is very different from other businesses, and as a rookie author's first novel, 800,000 copies were sold in half a month, which is already very gratifying.
And this data will slowly increase, after all, after the readers who bought the novel read it, they will form a good word-of-mouth publicity circle, through their word of mouth, and at the same time, with the growth of the novel's sales time, explosive sales will appear. “
Dave tried to use as simple and clear language as possible so that Annie's side could understand what this data meant.
Seriously, the promotion of the publishing house has done its best.
However, no matter how Kim Hyun Tae promotes, he can't get rid of the fact that he is a rookie author, so even if the publishing house is more effective in promoting it, it will take time for consumers to recognize it.
Of course, the content of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is very exciting, so the future sales will explode, and Dave is still very confident in this.
"Well, I don't know a lot about how publishing books works. Just do what you want, I don't think I can give some random opinions and disrupt your plans. ”
Anne said to Dave on the other end of the phone.
After casually asking Dave about the matter, Anne was about to end the call, but before putting down the phone, she suddenly thought of something, so she put the phone on her lips and confessed to Dale: "By the way, you remember to find a lawyer and an accountant for that boy, and the royalties will be paid in a month, in case he forgets to file taxes, it's not a good thing, you have to think about it for him." “
