Chapter 106: An Ordinary Day in 2016
In the afternoon, back to the studio, the little boy who was crying was comforted by his parents, and he was able to shoot at this time.
Therefore, the shooting progress in the afternoon was very smooth, and it was originally a commercial that was not too troublesome, but with the perfect cooperation of Xiao Coco, it only took one day to get it all done.
The director's mouth couldn't close.
Before leaving, the director also found Kim Hyun Tae and told him that if there is a suitable opportunity to shoot children's advertisements in the future, he himself will highly recommend Xiao Coco.
It can be seen that the small performance has won the favor of this director.
Kim Hyun-tae doesn't care, after all, he doesn't rely on his children to make money, but the director is very kind, and he can't help but appreciate it.
So he could only express his gratitude to the director, and promised to continue to try it if he had the opportunity.
In this way, Kim Hyun-tae 'inspected' his animation production company, his daughter also completed her first commercial shooting, and the father and daughter happily returned to the rehabilitation center.
The happy mood of the father and daughter also infected Anne, making her also in a very good mood.
In the evening, Anne made a famous dish in northern China 'pot wrapped meat', which she learned from the Chinese master chef, Jin Xiantai and Xiao Coco after eating, and praised Anne's craftsmanship again and again, which made Anne smile all night.
After dinner, Kim Hyun-tae went to the fitness room of the rehabilitation center and started the restorative exercise for his physical fitness again.
Coco Jr. stayed in her room with Anne to watch her favorite cartoon, 'Ryda the Messenger of Justice'.
Darkness fell on Los Angeles, and it was an ordinary and ordinary day.
------ Dividing Line------
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, 2016 came.
Coco Jr. shot a chocolate advertisement in 2015 and became a spokesperson, and now as long as you drive on the developed highways in the United States, you can often see the image of Coco on the roadside billboards with a dazzling smile and eating chocolate.
The TV commercials filmed by Coco also began to be broadcast on major TV stations, and with the broadcast of the commercials, people were also familiar with Coco, and fell in love with this sweet smile and cute little girl.
The chocolate series produced by Mike Sr.'s family sugar business began to show a slow growth trend in sales due to the impact of the relevant effects brought about by advertising, which made Old Mike happy all day long, and would come to Xiao Coco every day to give her a lot of chocolates.
Fortunately, Anne took care of Little Cocoa and didn't let the little guy eat so much, otherwise Little Coco would have a problem with insect teeth.
After coming to the new year, Kim Hyun-tae's health began to improve significantly, first of all, he no longer needs to use a wheelchair, and he can walk slowly by himself without support.
Everything is slowly returning to normal.
In December 2015, Dave has settled the manuscript fee to Kim Hyun Tae.
The first volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire" sold 3.6 million copies in December, and under the framework of the contract agreement of 10% of the price of 20 yuan per volume, Dave settled a pre-tax royalty share of $7.2 million for Kim Hyun-tae.
The sales of the first volume of "The Lord of the Rings" were not as good as "A Song of Ice and Fire", but it won steadily, although the increase was not large, but it also sold 2.8 million copies in December, so according to the framework of the contract agreement of 20 yuan and 20% of the price of a single volume, Kim Hyun Tae received a royalty share of 11.2 million US dollars before tax.
Compared with the first two novels, the results of "William's Fairy Tales" are still quite rebellious, even to the point of being scary, especially around Christmas 2015, and the sales in just a few days are even more staggering.
After the final statistics, the sales of "William's Fairy Tales" in December reached 58 million copies, almost double that of November, especially in the three or four days before and after Christmas, the number of sales was almost 20 million.
So based on the book's $20 price tag and 20% contract framework, Dave settled Kim Hyun-tae's pre-tax royalty share of $232 million.
In other words, in December 2015 alone, Kim Hyun Tae earned a little more than 250 million yuan before tax with two novels and a fairy tale.
Of course, these are pre-tax incomes, and Kim Hyun-tae also needs to pay a large personal income tax of up to 35%, and the rest of the money can be regarded as what he can really hold in his hands.
Therefore, after Kim Hyun-tae filed his taxes, the income that fell into his hands without any problems was actually more than 162 million US dollars, which is also a considerable amount of income.
The extra fraction was about hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Kim Hyun Tae entrusted Dave without blinking an eye and donated it to the Convent of San Juan.
At present, those foreign agents still need to prepare for a period of time before they can put the agent's Kim Hyun Tae novels and fairy tales on sale, so he can't count on this piece for the time being.
Because he took out more than 10 million yuan to buy land and build a house, Jin Xiantai Bank still has more than 50 million yuan in deposits, but after the income fell in December, his bank's deposits officially exceeded 200 million yuan.
Strictly speaking, he is now a little rich.
At the same time, after "Flying House" was screened on the Christmas screen, some discussions about "Flying House" appeared in some newspapers and media, as well as the opinions of some film critics after watching the film.
But on the whole, the general direction of public opinion is still very good, although there are occasionally some discordant voices, but they are harmless.
On this day, Kim Hyun-tae, who returned to his room from the gym, came to the living room after taking a hot shower, while his daughter and Anne were watching TV, and the TV was playing the chocolate series commercial shot by Coco.
[The little prince of a certain magical kingdom was kidnapped by the evil black dragon, and countless brave knights went to the black dragon's lair, hoping to defeat the black dragon and save the prince, but unfortunately these knights all suffered defeat without exception and became victims under the claws of the evil black dragon.
At this time, my king Artoria ...... Oh, no, it was a certain heroic female swordsman who had slain the evil black dragon and walked towards the little prince.
Just as the little prince stretched out his hand and wanted to take the female swordsman's hand and thank her, he suddenly found that the female swordsman passed by, and he didn't pay attention to him at all, but walked towards the treasure house of the evil black dragon.
The female swordsman who finally entered the treasure house had an innocent and sweet smile on her face when she found that the treasure house was full of chocolates, and then looked back at the silly prince and closed the door of the treasure house.
At the end, the prince was alone, riding a horse on a verdant forest path, the prince looked lonely, and behind him stood a high mountain, and suddenly a black thing was thrown out of the mountain, which was the body of the black dragon.
Well, the female swordsman occupied the black dragon's lair, and at the same time occupied the chocolate in the black dragon's treasure house, which is probably what it means. 】
Although this ad is a bit bizarre, Kim Hyun-tae finds it very interesting.
Anne and Coco also watched it with relish, especially when the female swordsman played by Coco appeared and showed her power to defeat the evil black dragon, which made Anne and Coco shout together.
Little Coco stood up on the spot, while staring at the TV with both eyes, waving her little fists, and boasting excitedly.
"Coco is very powerful, defeated the evil dragon, it's an evil dragon!"
Anne accompanied the excited little Coco to mess around, and nodded again and again to echo the little guy: "Wow, wow! Coco is so powerful, you have to protect Anne and protect your daddy in the future." ”
Kim Hyun-tae shook his head with a smile, then walked over, sat on the sofa, and then picked up his contract smartphone that he bought for $50 last year, opened it, and connected to the Internet to log in to his Twitter account.

Kim Hyun-tae took a cursory look at the messages on his Twitter, most of them wished him a speedy recovery, and some of them left a message for himself after watching "Flying House Travel", or his own "William's Fairy Tale", and complained about his feelings.
After all, the number of followers on his Twitter account has broken through the 40 million mark and is moving towards 50 million, so there are many people who leave messages for him every day, and many foreign netizens have also begun to pay attention to him.
There is no Internet blocking restriction in this time and space, so Facebook has become a large international social networking site, and it is normal for netizens from all over the world to play Facebook.
Kim Hyun-tae didn't have the heart to reply to these messages one by one, and even looked at them roughly as a look.
And now there are still many people who leave private messages for him, which is a personal benefit for Kim Hyun-tae.
Girls in the United States are very bold, and even Kim Hyun-tae, an old man, is a little overwhelmed, and he blushes when he sees some private video messages.
After reading the message on the public version, Kim Hyun-tae clicked on the private message message.
Sure enough, many girls gave themselves benefits again.
Most of these girls are white or black, and Asian girls and other ethnic groups also have them, but they are relatively fewer, and they are far less bold than the above two categories.
The white sister paper is covered in a slick bold welfare private message, Kim Hyun Tae has seen a lot, and the black sister paper is almost basically this way of leaving a message.
And most Asians are more subtle, at most they just confess that they like themselves or something, and they won't strip naked to shoot videos for themselves, except for Japanese sister paper, these private messages from Japan to Kim Hyun Tae, their boldness and popularity even exceed that of white sister paper and black sister paper.
There are more bold Japanese girl papers, the blatant [@] Kim Hyun Tae about the cannon, and there are not a few Japanese girls who do this.
At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae also has to admit one thing, that is, these girls who dare to show their figures, one by one, are indeed super good.
But it's a pity that Kim Hyun-tae himself is not a pervert, and he doesn't have any thoughts and thoughts about dating guns, so these girls are destined to be disappointed.
And for so many girls to tweet benefits to themselves, he was distressed and helpless, and a little crying and laughing.
After casually watching a video of a private message from two Brazilian girls, Kim Hyun-tae quit his Twitter account and began browsing the entertainment gossip news page.
