In order to distract her so that she wouldn't have to be so nervous, Su Nuannuan shook her head and temporarily moved these things out of her mind. It didn't matter how much she thought about it right now, as she would only know when she met the Tang Family Member.
Rather than wasting time thinking about all this nonsense, she might as well focus and finish her work first. She was about to officially put "Higer Dimension" on the agenda after the new year, but now she wasn't even done with the rough script.
She was about to mute her phone, but just as her fingers touched it, the phone rang again.
The caller ID was the manager of the Tang's department responsible for the distribution of paper works. Since all of the rights to《 Higer Dimension》 were in the hands of Tang's, naturally, the matters concerning distribution of paper works were also handled by the colleagues from the Tang's department.
Not long ago, the other party took the initiative to contact her, saying that it was related to the issue of the copyright fee for the additional printing and wanted to discuss it with her.
Su Nuannuan didn't know whether this was due to Tang Yifeng's instructions, but in short, the other party was very polite when contacting him, and the price of the copyright for the contact should be fifty to fifty percent of the Tang's. Logically speaking, under normal circumstances, the author and the publisher would get thirty to seventy percent of the royalties, since there were still a lot of work that needed to be done by the publisher later on.
But when Su Nuannuan asked about Tang Yifeng afterwards, he denied all the details, and said that he was definitely not the one doing it. Furthermore, this money, Tang's earned all the money he earned, which meant that he was earning all the money he earned from her, all the way. It was the same, but he did not need to do anything more regarding the things between his left and right pocket.
Su Nuannuan thought that made sense, and didn't say anything else after that.
Thinking of that, Su Nuannuan pressed the answer button, "Brother Zhang!"
"Warmth. I finally managed to get in touch with you. Just now, I've been calling you on the busy tone."
"Brother Zhang, I'm really sorry. There was something we were discussing just now. What business do you have with me?"
Su Nuannuan reckoned that other than a few of Tang Yifeng's trusted aides, no one else in the company knew of his relationship with her, otherwise they wouldn't have called her warm.
"It's like this, after your 'Higer Dimension' was printed, the sales were very explosive. Many science fiction fans all claimed that this work was the pearl of the dust, and now we can finally see the light of day again. Also, your copyright fee company's finance should have already been transferred to your account, did you receive it?"
"So fast?" Isn't it settled every three months? " Su Nuannuan was a little surprised at the efficiency of his Tang's.
"According to the normal course of events, it would take three months to settle the balance, but isn't the situation a little special? It's almost the new year, so it's fine if we send out the copyright fees earlier, so that the authors can have a good year! "
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for thinking so for our author. This is our good fortune. I'll check the bank card later, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Haha, don't be so polite with me. Actually, when I called you today, I was just giving you advice on behalf of the majority of science fiction fans. The one that was previously published isn't even the first volume.
"This... "This …" After being asked this question, Su Nuannuan felt a burst of guilt, she really did not know when she would be able to finish writing the rest of the story.
According to Tang Yifeng's plans, she should have been waiting until this first part was modified into a movie before she started on the second part. But after hearing Zhang Zheng's words, it was clear that he did not know of Tang Yifeng's arrangements.
"Brother Zhang, you know that this novel is a work of mine from a few years ago, and it won't be that easy for me to pick it up again." Brother Zhang, you know that this novel is a work of mine from a few years ago, and it won't be that easy for you to pick it up again.
Of course Zhang Zheng understood what Su Nuannuan was saying, it was just that every day, he would receive messages from readers requesting them to publish the rest of the story as soon as possible, it was because he was forced to call them for the written story.
"Warm, can you tell me the approximate time? This way, I'll be able to explain it to the readers. Otherwise, it'll be very difficult for me to handle this! "
"This... It should at least be the second half of next year! "
quickly calculated the time in her mind. Tang's had predicted that next year, the filming process for < The Higer Dimension > would start with the current story content, and even if the filming process was to start at the end of the year, she would have to produce the script in the first half of the year. With this half a year of time, the novel in her hands would probably be done, and at that time, she would be able to wholeheartedly devote herself to creating the latter half of < Higer Dimension >.
At the same time, Su Nuannuan felt extremely fortunate. Before this, she had followed Tang Yifeng's suggestions and modified the ending of her novel, and before this, no one cared about her novel anymore. There were very few people who had read it, if not she would have been so popular, the readers would have started to curse and say that she had a rotten ending or something.
Of course, the bad ending was the truth. At that time, she was afraid that her bad results on the subscription would result in her getting a guarantee on the website. She felt bad about it, so she hurriedly ended it.
"Second half year ~" Although Zhang Zheng was not particularly satisfied with this answer, it was better than not having time at all, "Alright, then if the reader asks again, I'll answer as soon as possible. But don't let the reader call me a swindler, you have to write it as soon as possible, don't let the reader call me a swindler."
Su Nuannuan suddenly felt a huge amount of pressure. In the past, she only needed to pay attention to the quantity of papers that she could deliver at the end of the month, but now, her work was complicated and she had to wait until next year. In this kind of situation, she did not even dare think about it before, but at the same time, she was happy that she was able to achieve such a result.
Although she didn't say it, but when she was facing Tang Yifeng, she felt a deep sense of inferiority. After all, the difference in status between the two of them was too huge, but through success in their careers, the gap between them could be gradually shortened. Perhaps this might help Tang Caiping in accepting her.
At least, the Tang Family Member did not need to worry about him dragging them down.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Zhang Zheng, Su Nuannuan hung up. Thinking back to the matter of the copyright fee that Zhang Zheng mentioned earlier, she could not sit still anymore.
If she could get the five figure or more copyright fee this time, then she would have it. Forget about everything else, at least this year's money would be enough for her family, and as for Huanhuan, he had always been in charge of her living expenses. For a long time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him, as her sister, she couldn't possibly not do anything for her sister.
Thinking of this, she hesitated for a moment, then got up and quickly changed into a new set of clothes. She took out her bag and bank card, preparing to go to a nearby bank to check her account balance.
She lived in the business center of the city, and when she went downstairs, she had only to turn a corner, and the whole street was filled with banks.
Su Nuannuan only walked for a few minutes to find the corresponding bank. He entered the business hall, found an ATM machine and checked it.
This card was given to her not too long ago by Tang's and Personnel Department. They said that in the future, there would be fixed salary, draft fees, copyright fees and the like, and would be transferred into this card. Because it was a card made by the agent, none of the cyber-silver had been opened.
There had been too many things going on in this period of time, so Su Nuannuan hadn't bothered with this matter, to the point where he didn't even know where he had spent the money on the copyright.
When the bank card was inserted into the ATM machine, he entered the password, and pressed the key to check the balance, Su Nuannuan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then extended his finger to count the numbers on the screen one by one. Seven digits? How could it be seven digits?
In front of the ATM, she counted back and forth four or five times before she dared to believe what she was seeing. She quickly pressed the exit button, pulled out her bank card, and headed toward the bank counter.
Hadn't there been a lot of press reports that said that the bank's computer system had erred, leading to a large amount of money in the depositor's account, and that the bank had discovered this when the system had erred, causing the extra money to disappear overnight?
Fortunately, it was business time, and in the business center, there were very few people who came to handle business at the bank, so Su Nuannuan did not have to wait at all before sitting in front of the counter.
When she took the bill from the staff member and looked it over, she asked in disbelief, "Are you sure this money is correct?" How could there be so much money in the account, could there be two more zeros? "
The staff member sitting behind the counter smiled and looked at Su Nuannuan, his attitude extremely amiable as he replied, "Miss Su, the results of the check from the bank is that everything is normal, as for whether the other party made a mistake while giving you the money, I might need you to check with the remittance holder, but based on my previous work experience, the possibility of this happening is very small, I think that the remittance holder is a large company. Usually, large companies like these require layers of signatures to confirm that they are wrong when giving out funds, the probability of it being very low."
After patiently explaining the situation, the staff member smiled and asked, "Miss Su, do you have any other tasks that you need to complete?"
"Ugh …" "Yes, may I trouble you to help me open up the online banking system."
"Okay, then can Miss Su please fill out this application form. Also, can I trouble you to show your ID again?"
