When Kevin returns to the Sikes Hotel, he plans to pack up and go back to Edinburgh. He ordered a plane at four in the afternoon. According to the time, it's just around five o'clock when I return to Edinburgh. You can have dinner with your family.
But just as he was packing, Ernie called him. It was only after reading Kevin's tweet last night that Enni learned that he had not left London.
"Hi, Ernie. Hello." Kevin pressed the answer button.
"Kevin, you haven't left London, have you?"
"Yes, I plan to go back in the afternoon. Can I help you? " Kevin asked.
"Well, why don't you come to London literature press when you have time?" Ennie asked.
"I've ordered a plane for more than 4 p.m. and now I can have some spare time. Well, I'll just go there in a minute. "
Kevin doesn't know what happened when Enni asked him to go to the London Literature Press, but the London literature press is also kind to him. After all, he won the champion of the literature competition here and published his life here. Within three months of entering the literary world, Kevin has already won the columnist, which is really a record breaking. Otherwise, Bogut would not be jealous.
"Thank you. I think God takes care of me too much. Oh, do you have anything to do with me? " Kevin asked.
"No, it's not. It's your choice. I have no right to interfere with you. I came to you today to talk about the next work. I wanted to ask you what you mean that night, but there are too many people and it's not very convenient. " Said Annie, editor in chief.
"Thank you for your concern. My next work is already in progress, and I don't think it's worse than Jane Eyre." Kevin said.
"Well, that's one of the reasons I came to you. You are the champion of the 7th literature competition. According to the previous champion, many publishers will choose to sign a long-term contract with him. I wonder if you have signed this contract with other publishers now? "
"No, but Dehai publishing house and several other publishing houses also called to sign a contract with me. But I refused. Sorry, editor Annie, I don't want to sign a long-term contract with any publishing house. I hate that kind of rules, which directly limit my imagination. " Kevin said.
Editor in chief Annie was going to ask Kevin if he wanted to sign a long-term contract with London Literature Press. Now when she heard that, she had to give up the idea. However, she respects Kevin's choice. After all, everyone has his choice.
"What's your next work? Can it also be published in our London Literature Press? " Annie editor in chief said cleverly.
Yeah, Kevin didn't want to sign a long-term contract with the publishing house, so it's OK for him to finish the publishing contract in advance before his book is finished. Besides, for his own sake, maybe Kevin won't refuse. And one of the reasons Kevin doesn't sign long-term contracts with other publishers may be the issue of contribution fees. Dunlun literature press has the ability to give Kevin all the chips he wants, so Enni is confident that she can sign every work he writes.
Kevin has not found a more suitable publishing house than London Literature Press, so he does not exclude signing Wuthering Heights with dunlon Literature Press.
So, Kevin said, "it's no problem to publish for the London literature society, but this time I choose to share the income. Is that ok?"
If Jane Eyre had chosen to share with the publishing house, it would have been more than 200000. But Kevin was a newcomer at the time, and it would have been nice to publish. So I didn't pursue too much. Now with the foundation of Jane Eyre, he can ask for a share.
It turns out that Enni didn't turn down the request either. After all, "Jane Eyre" sales let her in the company won the praise of the boss, and "Jane Eyre" also let the company profit a lot.
"Naturally, there is no problem. We can give you an 8% share. As for other aspects of copyright, we are still fifty-five points. How about it? " Said Ernie.
Eight percent of the contribution is not bad either in the previous world or in the parallel world of Britain. Many well-known writers are estimated to be less than this amount even after they have written all their lives. So, Ernie is very kind to Kevin this time.
Kevin naturally knew that the treatment was good, so after thinking about it, he agreed.
With Kevin's word of mouth promise, Ernie was relieved.
"Well, you can send me the part you have written, and then I will make an unprecedented promotion according to the content of your book. In this way, sales will be better. " Annie said.
"OK, I'll send it to your mailbox next time."
"Well, I hope our cooperation this time is a great success." Annie said with a smile.
Since he had to fly back to Edinburgh at 4 p.m., Kevin did not dare to stay in London literature press for too long. After chatting with Annie, he returned to the hotel.
