Chapter 30

Dave was shocked by Jin Xiantai's high yield, but he also had to close his mind and read the manuscript of the fairy tale to see if it could be published and bring benefits.

Jin Xiantai's song of ice and fire, as well as the first volume of the Lord of the rings just given to him, are all good works, which can be published and sold well. However, these two novels are magic works, just like Jin Xiantai's novels on magic theme, still have a good foundation.

But now he actually crossed the border and produced a fairy tale. This is crazy.

At least, according to Dave.

You say you write your magic novels well. Why write fairy tales? It's a waste of your own brain cells and your own time.

But I still have to take a closer look, otherwise Well, it seems to be well written. They are all very novel stories.

After looking through the manuscript, Dave, who had been reading in his heart, suddenly put out his careful thinking and became absorbed.

Seeing this expression, Jin Xiantai smiles. He knows clearly that he is attracted by the story.

At this time, the images of his childhood and the stories his mother told him flashed through his mind.

As a native of this time and space, Dave is of course also familiar with the fairy tales of the world. Even he himself was influenced by those wonderful stories and left a great shadow in his childhood.

He clearly remembers that he was very naughty when he was a child. As long as he was naughty, his mother would frighten himself with the story of "some wild boar monster who ate children". Moreover, his mother also focused on the whole process of how the unruly child was eaten by the wild boar monster.

Even now, when I think about it, Dave will be in a cold war.

But in all of Jin Xiantai's fairy tales, you can't see such content, let alone the description of blood.

And each story, there are some metaphors and teachings in it, but also easy to understand.

This fairy tale is not only suitable for children, but also suitable for adults.

Even when he looked through the manuscripts, he found that each story was accompanied by some hand-painted pictures. According to the scene description in the paintings, it was obvious that the current story was echoed.

There are not only words, but also pictures. Jin Xiantai is a genius!

Dave is almost certain that if such fairy tales don't sell well, he can cut off his head.

"Very good fairy tales. Did you think of them yourself?"

Dave sat up straight, laid the manuscript gently on the coffee table in front of him, and asked the usual question.

In fact, such a question is just to confirm that Jin Xiantai created it by himself, and that Jin Xiantai should have a guarantee orally.

In fact, it is unnecessary for him to do so because in this time and space, the fairy tale "created" by Jin Xiantai does not exist at all, so he doesn't have to worry about problems.

But he didn't know about these things, so he asked.

Although his face was a little hot and dry, Jin Xiantai nodded and replied: "yes, it's all created by myself. There will be no copyright problem. So Mr. Dave, this fairy tale... "

Jin Xiantai admits that he created it independently, but he is very shy in his heart because he is very aware that this is his own pirated fairy tale, which is not his independent creation at all.

But as long as he doesn't say it, no one will know about it, right? Besides, he took the work of another time and space to this space-time, and he is the only one in the world who can do this.

Therefore, he said that he was "creative" on his own, but there was nothing wrong with it.

"It can be published, and I don't think the sales volume will be too bad. Your fairy tale can not only be seen by children, but also read by adults without any problems. It can be said that it is a work suitable for all ages."

Dave told the truth. There was nothing to hide.

After listening to Dave's story, Jin Xiantai knew that the fairy tale was basically settled, and he didn't have to worry about anything.

Originally, Jin Xiantai was worried that in this parallel space-time, his pirated fairy tale would be acclimatized, but now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

Good things, good things everywhere.

"Well, I'll leave this fairy tale and the first volume of the Lord of the rings to the publishing house for publication and sales. I'm really bothering you to publish two books this time."

Jin Xiantai was very polite.

Dave waved: "don't be so polite. It's just two books published at the same time. It's not a big deal. For our publishing house, it's not even a big deal. "

Indeed, for a large bookseller like California Culture Press, it is not difficult to publish two novels at the same time.It is not impossible to publish even dozens of novels at the same time.

Since Jin Xiantai can hand over the Lord of the rings and William's fairy tales to the publishing house, and Dave is willing to act as a publishing agent, the next thing is much simpler.

After looking at the draft contract, Jin Xiantai did not have any comments. Subsequently, both sides found lawyers and successfully signed a formal publishing sharing agreement.

When everything is done, all Jin Xiantai has to do is go home and stay or continue his piracy business, and then it's time to get the money.

Look, how simple it is.

The publishing agreement was drawn up under the contract for song of ice and fire. California Press only took the English versions of Lord of the rings and William's fairy tales, and sold paper books in the United States.

The rest of the rights and interests, such as film and television adaptation, animation adaptation, foreign language publishing and so on, are still in Jin Xiantai's hands. It can be said that the agreement is very good.

Even, the share of Jin Xiantai has been raised to 20%.

Jin Xiantai is very satisfied with all this, and can't be dissatisfied with finding fault again.

The sharing agreement signed by him is much better than 99% of the authors, and the treatment he enjoys is extraordinary.

So what else can he find fault with.

"I will print the manuscript into a book as soon as possible and put it on sale in a short time. All this will be completed in a week, so that you can get the first manuscript fee before Christmas Eve."

After the contract was signed, Dave patted Jin Xiantai's chest and assured him that he would use the fastest speed to make the sale of Lord of the rings and William's fairy tales on the shelves, so that Jin Xiantai could get the money as soon as possible.

For Dave's assurance, Jin Xiantai is still trustworthy.

After all, there is his own printing factory under the publishing house. A phone call from Dave's side can start printing there.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that you are now on the list of best sellers of American novels in 2015. Although the ranking is very low, it also shows that your" song of ice and fire "has a good sales prospect

Best seller list of American novels?

When Jin Xiantai was about to leave, Dave suddenly raised his hand and patted himself on the forehead, telling Jin Xiantai something he had almost forgotten.

Seriously, if Dave hadn't told him, Jin Xiantai would have never known that he was on the list.

Although it's not clear what the list actually does, it seems to be very powerful to listen to Dave.

"Oh, really?"

Because he didn't understand the list, Jin Xiantai's reaction was a little weak.

"Oh! You guy, how can you react like this Seeing Jin Xiantai's subtle reaction, Dave, with a smile in his face, raised his hand and ordered him.

"You don't know what this list is, do you?" , Dave finally asked.

Jin Xiantai nodded, saying that he really did not know the list.

In the end, Dave had to explain to Jin Xiantai a little, which made Jin Xiantai understand clearly how influential the list is.

The best-selling novels in the United States, as the name suggests, are all novels that sold well in those years.

But it doesn't mean that if the sales reach a certain amount, it can be listed. It needs to be carefully selected by the novel reviewers, and some of the novels with the most stories and the best content can be selected with the most critical eyes.

Therefore, this has led to some novels that are sold well, but the story is hard to hurt, and the content is not very good, which is not related to this list.

However, as a consequence of this, every novel on the list will be sold very well in the later period because of this guarantee.

Basically, whether the novel is good or not, the future sales potential is not big, can be on the sales list can be very clear about the problem.

So Jin Xiantai's "song of ice and fire" is on the list. Even if it's not at the top of the list, it's enough to make Dave happy.

At least this shows that the future sales potential of "song of ice and fire" is good and can continue to sell well.

Besides, Jin Xiantai's "song of ice and fire" was sold in September, and so far, it's only two months since it began to sell.

It is also a matter of honor to be selected into the 2015 best seller list of American novels in less than two months.

If the song of ice and fire continues to sell well, it won't be difficult to make it to a higher position on the best seller list next year.

But in any case, in this time and space of the United States, as long as the writers of novels, no one does not want their novels to be on the best seller list.

In addition to bringing fame to yourself, at the same time, your income can also be guaranteed by anticipation.

Since none of the novels on the best seller's list has ever sold poorly, many people regard this list as a touchstone.After listening to Dave's explanation, Jin Xiantai understood what the best seller list of American novels had to care about.
