Chapter 695： : Be famous early

After Monroe left, Jiang Hao picked up the phone and called the lawyer. "Attorney Robert, I'm Jon Hall. Please come and visit me, and I've prepared the money."

"Are you going to pay each other $ 30,000?" The lawyer said in surprise.

"Yes."

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Hao took out all the money he had harvested last night, put a full coffee table, Jiang Hao counted it up, and finally came up with a number of 625,700 US dollars. A lot of money.

Take 30,000 dollars out of it and put it on the table. This is a ransom for Monroe.

An hour later, Robert came over and saw the thick pile of money on the table. The lawyer spread his hands and said, "Mr. Hall, in fact, I think that if you have a lawsuit with that brokerage company, you can reduce the price by at least half. Even if the judge favors them, he cannot come exactly to his request. "

Speaking of this, lawyer Robert said in a low voice: "And I also heard a news, it seems that the boss of the 3K gang Don Stark was killed last night, and now that brokerage company has no influence on the judge It's so big that this case was given to me. You can save a lot of money for up to two months. "

Jiang Hao smiled, "I just want to get the contract as soon as possible, the sooner the better, preferably today."

"I have the full power of entrusting you to lawyer Robert. Of course, if you can help me save money, I am naturally happy. Here is 30,000. You can get one-fifth of the savings. The lawyer's fee is calculated." Jiang Hao Said with a smile.

Robert's eyes brightened. Jiang Hao had a lawsuit before, but also for more time to get more attorney fees.

"Mr. Hall, you are really a savvy person who can get the heart of a woman and spend less, but I think a third is more reasonable." Robert said with a smile.

"A third, it seems a little too much."

"That way I will do my best."

Jiang Hao does not intend to entangle for this little money, "oK, then one third, I hope to see Monroe's contract before dinner today."

"I will do my best!"

After signing the power of attorney, Robert left happily holding the money and had to say that the magic of money is endless.

Only at noon, lawyer Robert returned and took out a contract from the bag and put it in front of Jiang Hao. "Mr. Hall, Ms. Marilyn Monroe's contract, from now on, this contract is transferred to you It means that you have the same rights to Ms. Monroe as the agency. "

Then he took a stack of money out of his bag and put it on the table. "Mr. Hall, this is ten thousand dollars. I save it for you. I talked with Ms. Monroe's agent, Bronx, for a long time , Including what happened at Don Stark Estates last night, that Bronx immediately softened and agreed to hand over the $ 15,000 contract. "

"According to our previous verbal agreement, I get the remaining one-third, and I have withheld $ 5,000."

Attorney Robert's face was full of smiles at the moment. A small case made him a lot of money, and the money had nothing to do with the law firm. He could earn his own pocket.

Perhaps you can start with the sports car you like, when lawyer Robert thought about it when he returned.

Jiang Hao was not very concerned about the remaining 10,000 yuan. He picked up Monroe's contract and read it carefully from beginning to end. He had read many legal books, and now the contract is completely fine.

"Very good, thank you for your work, Robert." Jiang Hao put away the contract and said to Robert with a smile.

"Mr. Hall, if there is anything I can help you with in the future, even if you call, you have my business card." Robert is ready to catch this big customer, and he is still an easy customer.

As soon as Robert said, Jiang Hao really remembered something, "Robert, can I call you like this?"

"of course,"

Robert said with a smile, being able to make friends with customers is the highest state of salesman.

"Robert, don't you know the publishing industry?"

"Publishing, what do you mean?"

"I am a writer. I have written 2 books, and I want to find a publishing house. I want to find someone to help me operate, contact the publishing house, and get all the contracts at the same time." Jiang Hao said.

"Publishing a book, are you going to publish it regularly, semi-at your own expense, or at your own expense?" Robert asked.

Conventional publishing is to submit books to publishing houses. The publishing houses consider publishing value, and publishing and publishing are put on the market. The author's income is mainly royalties, as Mr. Itchy and Jiang Hao said in the previous seven years.

Well-known authors have high royalties. Of course, that is mainly because of their celebrity effect, which can guarantee a certain sales volume. The royalties of newcomers are very small, and 23% are normal. In many cases, newcomers' books I'm already happy to publish the author.

Semi-self-pay is the high quality of the manuscript. Both the author and the publisher expect the distribution market to be good. Of course, the two parties will cooperate to publish. Of course, the benefits are win-win and the risks are shared. This method is more popular in later generations.

There is no need to explain it at its own expense. Many of them are because no one sees it. The author feels that he can succeed. He pays for the version number, printing, and money for the publisher to run. In short, all the risks are borne by the author. .

Jiang Hao thought about it, writing a book can make money, but the profitable money is dispensable for him. He wants to be famous, and people are not well known, and more importantly, the work must be famous. It will greatly help his future movie planning.

A large one of the movies based on novels and movies is called iP in modern times.

"Semi-self-paying and self-paying are fine. I hope as soon as possible, of course, under the premise of guaranteeing my interests." Jiang Hao said.

Just looking at Jiang Hao's attitude towards money, Robert has already determined that he is a rich man. Robert said that rich is good, and he would publish a book if he wanted to, even if no one bought it.

"Of course, it is my responsibility to guarantee the interests of our customers."

"This piece can be completely handed to me, I will run you, we sign a formal contract, you give me the book draft, and I will help you talk to the publisher." Robert said with a smile.

The two formally signed the contract. Jiang Hao took out two thick document bags from the cabinet. Robert opened it curiously, and read the title of the manuscript written in his mouth. Meet Women. "

Jiang Hao's "Dream of the Covered Bridge" was written very quickly and had few words. It took only half a day to finish. "Smelling a Woman" is the second book Jiang Hao started. This book has many words and needs to be adapted. In some places, Jiang Hao has been working on this book in addition to the robbery these days.

Robert looked up at Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao nodded at him, and Robert smiled out, "Okay, I will work very **** them, Mr. Hall."

Attorney Robert was very happy when he left. He got attorney fees for the previous business, a commission of $ 5,000, and a new business. Mr. Hall is really a big client.

Back at the law firm, Robert handed in the bill happily, and the lawyer's fees were credited. He returned to his office, made a cup of coffee, and made a few sips on the chair.

"This is the first time I have received such a business, but it doesn't matter. As a lawyer, you can learn what you don't understand. The most important thing is business."

Open the briefcase and take out the manuscript that Jiang Hao handed over to him. Before working on a case, you must first understand the content of the case. This is a basic requirement for a lawyer.

To be honest, Robert is not very optimistic about Jiang Hao's novels. He is ready to bite the bullet and accept torment for several hours. In his opinion, Mr. Hall is definitely a rich son.

It's tens of thousands of dollars for a small model. Oh, tens of thousands of dollars, what kind of woman can't play.

Although the woman named Marilyn Monroe was very beautiful and sexy, he still didn't think it was worth the tens of thousands of dollars. She was just a young model and not a big star. There were so many beautiful women in New York Not worth it at all.

Gongzi brother writer, ha, I don't know what will be written yet. He looked at two manuscripts, "Dream of a Covered Bridge" and "Smelling Fragrance and Knowing Women." Which one to look at first?

In the end, he chose "Smell the Woman" because this book has the word "woman". I don't know if the writer of the brother-in-law wrote it on the bed with the little model. The brother-in-law smelled of the woman's fragrance story.

Maybe that's more refreshing.

Opening the manuscript, Robert began to look, his mind kept reminding himself that it was work, work.

But slowly, he was attracted by the content of the book.

A blind officer, a candid, shy middle school student, an unexpected sting, a "sexy" tango, a deliberate drag racing and a hearty speech, a story about the journey of the heart, withering and rebirth.

The original work of Wen Xiangzhi Women is the work of Italian writer Giovanni Alpino ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Published in 1969, formerly called "Darkness and Honey", is a story of an Italian military officer, a bit obscure and boring. It was not appreciated at first.

And Jiang Hao's book is adapted from the movie content. The characters and stories have been moved to the United States. The content is more vivid. The sharp language and rich plot are naturally more attractive than the original. Otherwise, they will not get it. Oscar for Best Picture.

When he looked up, he found that time had passed for more than two hours. He had read the book halfway, but the story behind him still attracted him deeply. He looked at the sun tilted out of the window and decided to put it tonight. After reading.

He got up and stretched his waist, came to the coffee machine, and watched the rising heat of the slowly boiling water. Robert suddenly realized that this book was so good. As long as the propaganda is done well, it can definitely become a bestseller. I underestimated that huāhuāgōngzǐ before coming to myself.

Carrying the coffee back to the desk, sitting down and opening the book again, reading it page by page, the steaming cup of coffee slowly cooled, but Robert didn't reach for it again, he was immersed in the story again.
