"ok."
Faced with Jack’s kindness, Adam would naturally not refuse.
"Now there is a problem."
Jack entered the topic: "Have you started writing the next volume? When can you write it out?"
"The plot is right there, but I have not been motivated to write."
Adam seriously said: "You know."
"I know, I know a fart..."
Jack's mouth twitched.
Okay, don't pretend, he really understands.
Is the money not in place?
"The reprint of 100,000 copies will be fully rolled out and sold. Ideally, the third or even the fourth edition will soon be possible. At that time, your income will skyrocket. Many readers are looking forward to the story behind you. You will not let readers Are we disappointed?"
Reprinted 100,000 copies, each of $50, royalties 10%, and income of 500,000, which is equivalent to the income of a median family for nearly two decades, an absolute huge sum of money.
In Friends, Rose later met Black Pearl who was in love with the Nobel Prize winner. Black Pearl’s two Nobel Prize ex-boyfriends made Rose very stressed. A friend comforted him and said that the Nobel Prize winner was actually nothing great.
Ross replied: a Nobel Prize of 1 million dollars in prize money.
Then my friend ‘rebelled’ directly.
That is probably ten years from now.
Even if the current 500,000 is not as good as the 1 million ten years later, it is definitely not much different.
What's more, there are still three or four editions possible.
This is the fascinating place in the fields of literature, art, and entertainment.
I didn’t know anything at the first moment, but I will receive both fame and fortune in the next moment.
"Don't worry, I have already started writing."
For his own income, Adam naturally wanted to release his goodwill: "Seven volumes have been conceived now, and it is estimated that one volume will be one per year, each volume will vary from 400,000 to 800,000 words.
"Seven volumes have been conceived?"
Jack was dumbfounded: "Is the story of the Lord of Mysteries really such a grandiose?"
"This is just the beginning."
Adam smiled and said: "As long as you want to write, you can't finish writing seven more books. Under the grand world view, there are too many stories to dig out, of course, the premise is that the readers are still enthusiastic."
"Yes, most readers have a reading inertia."
Jack said emotionally.
He felt that he might have missed hundreds of millions.
After getting the reprint, Adam is ready to leave.
"Wait a minute, I have some friends who are your book fans. I want to come over and talk with you in person, is that okay?"
"Book fan?"
Adam was taken aback, then nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem."
These are the first fans of the parallel world he borrowed from the great gods, and they are Jack’s friends, so they naturally want to save face.
Jack led Adam to the meeting room.
A group of people have been waiting here.
"Are you the ‘Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious ruler on the gray mist, the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck’?"
A little girl with pink jade carvings hugging a little golden retriever, jumped out from behind the door.
"No, I am not."
Adam bent over and laughed: "I am more similar to a writer like Forsi, who records the story of the Lord of Mysteries."
"Then you don't have the potion to make my Susie talk?"
The little girl was disappointed and carried the little golden retriever in her arms.
"Sorry."
Adam shook his head and said: "The potion only exists in the world of the Lord of Mysteries, and Susie who can speak is unique and belongs to Miss Justice Audrey, but I believe that even if you can't speak, your Susie is the best of you. Partner, isn't it?"
"Well, Susie is smarter."
The little girl happily lifted up the little golden retriever in her arms again.
"Mr. Duncan, this is my daughter Annie. She really likes Susie in Lord of Mysteries."
The little girl’s father, Gerald, came over and said with a smile: "We are all your fans, I have to say, the Lord of Mysteries is really wonderful."
"Thank you."
Adam smiled reservedly, and his heart was refreshed.
As a part-time Xiaopujie in his previous life, he was not facing a stand-alone machine, or complaining, and even personal attacks at every turn. This caused Adam to have a low mood, no motivation for codewords, and full attendance all the year round.
Now facing the sincere affirmation of book fans, it is naturally so cool and cool, no wonder someone can definitely reach the pinnacle of life by complimenting them all the way.
is too reasonable!
Adam feels light and fluttering now, thinking to himself: "As long as you think, there is nothing you can do!"
It's a pity, this is an ordinary world, without extraordinary elements, otherwise Adam will definitely be able to show the sun, punch Superman, and fight through the sky.
This group of people is obviously very educated, even fans of the Lord of Mysteries, they are also very restrained. They sat in the meeting room and exchanged the story and worldview of the Lord of Mysteries. The chat lasted all morning.
At noon, Jack Cerf gave a treat, and after the dinner, they left each other.
"Adam, this is my business card. If you have any legal issues, please feel free to contact me."
Annie's father Gerald gave her business card and said sincerely.
Except for the reason of book friends and fans, as a professional lawyer, expanding your contacts and business at any time is a basic operation.
The value of the Lord of Mysteries is obvious.
"Thank you."
Adam took the business card and said goodbye to Gerald and Annie. He got into the taxi and told the driver the address. Then he took out the business card and looked at it. When he saw Gerald's full name on the business card, he exclaimed: " Damn! No way!"
I saw on the business card: Gerald Hathaway. UU reading
"In the future, the lord of the mystery will make film and television dramas, maybe Audrey has a suitable candidate..."
Adam murmured, "It's really exciting."
In his mind, the girl's Audrey Hepburn absolutely fits Miss Justice Audrey, and she is originally called Audrey, and she also owns a pet dog. Maybe the squid is based on the girl Hepburn set up Miss Justice.
Now in 1992, Hepburn is over sixty years old, so naturally he can't play Miss Justice, but now he has a little Hepburn with Hepburn's elegance and a sweet smile...
into the night.
520 apartment.
"I have a treat tonight, let's go out together."
When Chandler and them all arrive, Adam announced.
"OMG! What happened?"
Phoebe was surprised.
"You can't believe it. Adam is an excellent writer besides being a student of Columbia University. The second edition of Lord of Mysteries has been released."
Monica, who had known for a long time, couldn’t help but quickly explained: “He made money, no, he made a lot of money!”
said here, waved his hands, as if the whole world had been contracted by Adam.
"OMG!"
This time it was Joey who exclaimed. Before Adam refused, he rushed over. A classic Joe hugged: "I have a writer friend!"
After releasing Adam, he pointed at Adam with both hands diagonally and smiled: "If you adapt a film and television series in the future, please remember to find Joey, I am a professional actor!"
"I try my best."
Adam smiled bitterly.
Now Joey doesn’t even know the "Fart Sniffing Act"...
