Three hours later, the dinner was over.
Wang Jian sat in the back seat of the car, looking at Tom driving, thinking back on what happened just now.
The ambition of Random House is not limited to the novel arcane.
What they want is to carry out in-depth cooperation with the website and publish the works that have been proved to be popular.
And the condition it gives is that it will provide a part of the physical book at the cost price as a special offer for website fans.
The remaining copies are calculated according to a certain formula, and the corresponding number of copies and royalty share are obtained.
When Wang Jian heard this proposal, his first reaction was: have not the six major publishing houses formed an alliance to bring those low-level writers over?
But a young man who stayed in the room replied with a smile: "we are rivals with your website, aren't we with the other five publishers?"
"Besides, it's possible to make money by cooperating with you, but it's always losing money by cooperating with them."
Well
There is no eternal opponent, only eternal interests.
Wang Jian unconsciously played with Lily's fingers, but he kept thinking in his mind.
Random House has a strong sales network of physical books.
The website owns 30% of the copyright of all works except American gods.
Then, the cooperation between the two sides can naturally increase more income.
But when to publish physical books is a big problem.
Because the number of fans of the works published on the website will be accumulated.
Wang Jian patted Tom on the shoulder and asked, "how long has arcane God been over, and what are the current bookings on the website?"
As a person with a lawyer's license, Tom is naturally transparent.
"Do you want to use arcane as the reference standard for the publication of physical books? I'm afraid it can't. After the book has gone through Gamification and random changes, the number of fans is far less than that of other works on the website. "
"For negotiation, set the goal higher first, and then lower it slowly." Wang Jian asked casually, "by the way, is the follow-up cartoon of arcane God going to be published?"
"Yes." Tom answered while driving: "black horse cartoon has accelerated the drawing process at EA's request.
"However, I heard that marvel and DC Comics will take corresponding measures to snipe the dark horse."
Ma Dan,
How can there be opponents everywhere?
Wang Jian took a deep breath and said, "tomorrow, you will send the data change of the reservation volume of arcane to my office."
"All right."
In half an hour.
Wang Jian and Lily push the door open and walk towards the apartment.
I have to say that after staying in the United States for a long time, even the sense of shame will be reduced a little.
This time, Wang Jian didn't even ask Lily whether she wanted to send her back to her apartment.
The difference between high-grade apartment and ordinary apartment lies in its considerate service.
In addition to two robust security personnel still standing at the entrance of the apartment, there are staff in the elevator at the moment.
Lily looked at all this curiously, but at the same time she was a little afraid that the other side would look at herself.
When Wang Jian took her into the duplex apartment.
Lily breathed a sigh of relief, then her eyes were attracted.
Leather sofa, large screen TV, all kinds of expensive furniture.
She recalled today's experience and pretended to take a casual look at Wang Jian.
Young and talented.
She looked in the mirror again.
Then, he began to think, what else can attract him?
But Wang Jian had no idea what Lily was thinking.
He poured a cup of coffee with a smile, pulled lily on the sofa, and talked about some recent experiences.
The more Lily listens, the more confused she gets.
Finally, she bit her lip and said to Wang Jian, "I'll take a shower first. I'm sticky."
"All right." Wang Jian went into the guest room, took out a set of toiletries and said to lily, "this is for the staff to prepare. I don't know if it's the brand you often use."
Lily looks down. There are all kinds of luxuries.
She took these, picked up her own bag and went into the bathroom.
While Wang Jian was thinking about things, he pushed the remote control at random.
About ten minutes later, lily is a little shy out of the bathroom.
I never wear this kind of clothes.
And Wang Jian's eyes also moved away from the TV.
He looked into Lily's eyes and the bigger they were.
Breathing also with each other's high-heeled shoes sound ups and downs, and more heavy.
Soon, there was a lot of noise in the room.
……At the same time, Tennessee.
Leonard was alone in bed, tossing and turning.
Tomorrow, there will be three comics on sale.
They are spider man, Superman and arcane.
This
How to choose?
First of all, get rid of Superman.
The plot of this cartoon has become more and more complicated since it was written by another writer.
Male Superman, female Superman, little Superman
Did the kryptonians move to earth?
So, it's Spiderman and arcane.
I've read the following content of arcane God on the Internet, and also ordered a physical book.
Although spiderman is likely to hide his identity and save the world, he does not know the specific plot.
Or spider man?
Alas, why do you only have a little pocket money!
In this way, the day is already bright unconsciously.
Leonard hesitated and decided to get up and go to the comic book store.
Anyway, I can't sleep. It's good to be the first one to get the new issue of spider man.
He quietly put on his clothes and walked out of the house very slowly.
But when Leonard came to the door of the comic shop, he was surprised to find that someone was waiting there.
Take a closer look.
Well, there's no accident. It's those familiar old faces.
"Hi, Leonard, what can I do for you?" One of them asked.
"Spider man." Leonard replied positively.
"Don't you like arcane in particular? Why did you buy spider man? " The man said sarcastically.
"I said that classical music and comics have nothing to do with each other. What's more, the nickname is "knowledge boy". It's ridiculous
"Comics should be bloody and bloody!"
Leonard looks at the determined black powder of arcane, turns his mouth, and doesn't argue any more.
Finally, in everyone's expectation, the sun completely rose.
The owner of the comic book store also opened the door.
But without waiting for people to enter the store, the boss moved out three giant posters and pasted them outside the store.
Only a poster, or classic Superman stretched out a hand, fly to the sky poster.
The other is Spiderman lying on the wall, looking up at the sky.
The last one is the figure of a young mage walking forward.
Behind them were rows of corpses mixed with red and white brains.
In addition to the typing of arcane, the poster also has a nickname.
If you look at it carefully, you will be a "crazy devil"!
