In order to rub a little bit more warm "I am a wizard", and the heat of related events.
The editors of Langdon press, from the night they got Tom's manuscript of arcane, began their intensive work.
Review, cover design, publicity and so on.
Based on this, Wang Jian got the final draft and the formal contract just two days later.
You know, Arcane is not like I'm the great mage. It's just a product of publishers.
But Langdon publishing house, after paying a higher minimum royalty, got the key project of distribution right.
While sighing at the efficiency of large publishing houses, Wang Jian looked down at the sample version of arcane throne in his hand.
First of all, the texture of this novel is not comparable to that of I am the great mage.
The hard cover is the waist cover written by the editor in chief of Langdon press.
When he took off his waistband, he saw a handsome young man in a top hat and a tuxedo. His arms were raised flat and his hands were stretched forward.
With a stack of papers in one hand, you can see the words "periodic table of chemical elements", "Schrodinger's cat", "observer effect" and so on.
It perfectly reveals the golden finger of the protagonist.
Above the other hand, the colorful fireball and ice blade also show the power of the protagonist.
It was obviously designed by someone after reading the manuscript of arcane throne.
I don't know where to go higher than the one randomly selected from the library acquired from "I am the great mage".
Wang Jian nodded with satisfaction.
At least, it looks good.
Open the cover, inside the paper is the real coated paper.
This gives the whole book a sense of massiness.
Wang Jian turned the book around and looked at it.
40 dollars?
This
It's a little expensive, isn't it?
Can think of his 10% share of royalties, he subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.
Maybe it can be sold?
The first volume is 300000 words.
The whole book has 3.3 million words and can sell 11 volumes.
Wang Jian picked up the contract again and saw that the number of copies in the first volume and the first edition was 300000.
Then, after the first volume of 300000 copies is sold, you will make a profit
1.2 million dollars?
Wang Jian picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract.
Then, as he handed the contract to the publishing staff accompanied by Tom, he asked, "when will it be officially released?"
Tom replied with a smile, "five days later."
Next, he will bring the champagne with him and open it.
As he poured the wine into three glasses, he said, "for your 10%, my 1%, and the editor's promotion and raise."
"Let's wish the new book a big sale."
Wang Jian and the editor picked up their glasses and touched each other.
Then, they said with a smile: "I wish you a big new book sale!"
In this way, Wang Jian spent five whole days in worry and excitement.
And in these five days, with Langdon press's propaganda campaign in full swing.
From time to time, news of the author of "I am the great mage" and the upcoming sale of the new book will appear on TV, newspapers and radio stations.
In some bookstores, the countdown is also posted.
This makes the first day release of arcane God full of ritual.
And those who have seen "I'm a great mage" and have enjoyed it, and those who are extremely dissatisfied with "I'm a great mage" have also received the news one after another.
Because of their different reasons, they began to hang around in the bookstore.
And because people who like fantasy literature and comic books are highly coincident.
This also led to the comic shop, temporarily empty.
Even let the cartoon owners complain.
But because of their complaints, more children who only like to read comic books are curious.
As a result, more and more people began to pay attention to arcane, and the date of its upcoming release.
That's it. Five days later.
While looking at the morning sun, Wang Jian took a deep breath.
Today is the last day he was forced to work in the community.
Yes, his eighteenth birthday.
It's the day of the release of arcane.
I hope this is also my lucky day.
Wang Jian put on his clothes and glasses, which he had already prepared. After some cross dressing, he was ready to go to the bookstore for a practical inspection.
However, which bookstore should I go to?
After thinking for a moment, Wang Jian was still going to visit New York University.There are the most college students and the corresponding fantasy literature lovers.
Close contact, also can most intuitively feel this crowd, to "Arcane God seat" impression.
After all, you can't expect people in the Bronx slums to spend $40 on a book, can you?
When he took a taxi to a large bookstore near NYU, it was already full of people.
The most popular realistic literature and inspirational literature area at ordinary times is now very few.
Some people with glasses and a senior nerd look are lining up, waiting for arcane to be put on the display cabinet.
It's just that the people in line seem to have different standpoints.
Some people are happily discussing the passage in "I am the great mage".
Others, however, stare at the door with a serious face, waiting for the person to deliver arcane.
When Wang Jian saw the crowd, he was first relieved.
In any case, it's better to be concerned than ignored.
Just, at this time, a black haired boy behind him, the words in his mouth made Wang Jian frown.
"It's a shame."
"The shame of fantasy literature."
"I will never buy it!"
Wang Jian looked back at the boy.
He was wearing a black suit with a New York University badge on his chest.
It says "Jack Dorsey" under the school badge.
Just when Wang Jian wanted to have a chat with the other party in order to understand why the other party had such an attitude.
"Arcane throne" was delivered.
The staff of the bookstore opened the package in front of the waiting crowd.
Will be a cover exquisite "Arcane God seat", placed on the display cabinet.
Then the crowd surged forward.
The novel just put on the table was picked up in an instant.
Then, check out at the counter.
Wang Jian carefully observed and found that most of the people who took the novels and bought them were people who had just talked about "I'm the great mage".
Those with serious faces picked up the novel and went to the corner of the bookstore to watch it.
However, because of the large number of people, the direct buyers still make the arcane throne in short supply.
While appeasing the crowd, the bookstore owner called the supplier and asked for more copies.
When Wang Jian saw this scene, he let go of his hanging heart.
It's not as popular as "I'm the great mage", but "Arcane throne" is not too fierce, is it?
