Chapter 466 Do you think so highly of me?(3/3)
After Bruce Lee's death, why was Jiahe able to quickly recover and continue to thrive?
To a large extent, it is because of the rise of Cheng Long.
Why was Wing Shing able to sweep the Hong Kong film scene in the 1990s?
It was also because of the rise of Stephen Chow.
Having just signed Wong Jing a few days ago, and today they signed Stephen Chow, Lam Pictures already has the foundation to take off.
The next day, Lin Chaoyang received a call from Miyu Kitamura from Japan.
"Crossing Guandong" was published in Japan for half a year and performed well.
Last month, Mihiro Kitamura wrote to him and mentioned that Kawade Shobo hopes to continue to introduce his novels. In his reply, Lin Chaoyang talked about the issue of royalties and hoped to sign a contract with a stepped royalty rate. This time Mihiro Kitamura called to discuss this matter.
of.
After some discussions, Kawaide Shobo decided to introduce Lin Chaoyang's "The Summer of Laiko" and "The Story of the Ferry" again.
For both works, royalties are settled in a stepped form.
For sales of less than 60,000 copies, 8% royalty; for sales of 60,000 to 150,000 copies, 12% royalty; for sales of more than 150,000 copies,
15% royalty.
In the Japanese book market, it is not easy for a purely literary work to sell 150,000 copies, which is almost equivalent to the sales of several hundred thousand copies of a general bestseller.
This condition sounds a bit harsh, but the returns are pretty good. From 8% to 15% royalties, the span is not small. "Yu Mo, you will go to Japan in two days."
After Lin Chaoyang and Miyu Kitamura discussed the publishing matter, he assigned tasks to his sister-in-law.
"Why are you going?" Tao Yumo asked.
"Sign a contract for me, and Kawade's library will continue to publish my novel."
Tao Yumo became excited, "Then I am going abroad?"
"This is a business trip, not for fun." Lin Chaoyang reminded.
Tao Yushu also said: "Your brother-in-law asked you to do business and not go to some messy place."
"I know, I know."
Tao Yumo promised, but it was obvious from his demeanor that he didn't listen, and he was mainly rebellious.
Lin Chaoyang worriedly planned to contact Kondo Naoko as a local companion, Hao Lie was also an acquaintance.
Two days later, Tao Yumo packed his things and planned to go back to the mainland to apply for a passport and visa before going to Japan. Lin Chaoyang suddenly received a call from Nie Weiping from the mainland.
"Why did you go to Xiangjiang again? When will you come back?'
In the first sentence, Nie Weiping's tone was very resentful, and one could feel his anxiety through the microphone.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten about the arena match?"
Lin Chaoyang said speechlessly: "What does your Go team's competition have to do with me?"
"How come it doesn't matter? If you don't come, we can't control the little Japan. Our Chinese team will almost be killed by them."
After the Japanese side lost the first Sino-Japanese Go Tournament last year, they were so angry that they started fighting again in March this year and started the second tournament.
Despite last year's victory, more than half of the Go fans who were optimistic about the Japanese team's victory still accounted for the pre-match predictions, which put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team.
After the arena competition started, the situation was not optimistic either.
Rui Naiwei, who played in the first game, defeated the two opponents in a row, but was defeated by Toshiya Imamura. The four games ended with 2:2.
draw.
The Chinese team thought that this year's game would be back-and-forth, with the scores rising alternately. Unexpectedly, a "Jiang Zhujiu" figure also appeared in the Japanese team this time.
After the start of the sixth game, the Japanese team's Kobayashi scored seven consecutive victories over Qian Yuping, Shao Zhenzhong, Cao Dayuan, Jiang Zhujiu, and Liu Xiaoguang.
In the blink of an eye, only Ma Xiaochun and Nie Weiping are left in the Chinese team, while there are still six players in the Japanese team who have not played.
If Ma Xiaochun also loses to Xiao Linjue, Nie Weiping will have to face six of the top players in the Japanese chess world alone. This difficulty is more than twice as high as last year's one-penetration three.
You can imagine the pressure on him!
"Old Nie, how many times have I told you not to engage in superstition and metaphysics? I am just an audience."
"I know you are an audience member, so don't say these things and come back first."
"Why should I go back? I'll be your mascot! Besides, isn't there Ma Xiaochun?"
Nie Weiping thought about it and it seemed right.
"Then come back when I come on stage!"
"I·-.-·
Lin Chaoyang hung up the phone sadly and said, "Have a good time with the national Go team. How did the atmosphere become like this?"
After Tao Yumo left, no one looked after the children. Tao Yushu and Lin Chaoyang were under a lot of pressure. She was thinking about finding a Filipino maid.
But the house is only such a big place, and if there are more people there, it will seem crowded.
The housing area in Xiangjiang is certainly not comparable to that in Yanjing, but it cannot be too shabby. After much thought, Tao Yushu felt that he should change his house.
The Oriental Garden where they lived now was rented to them by Li Hanxiang and his wife. Without bothering the two owners, Tao Yushu called Zhang Cuiying and wanted to ask if the couple had any property with a larger area.
Hearing that Tao Yushu wanted to change his house, Zhang Cuiying invited the couple to his home.
After the meeting, Zhang Cuiying took out the key to a house.
Li Hanxiang said: "This is the mansion on the mountainside that your sister-in-law just bought at the beginning of the year. It was originally intended for the two of us to live in for our retirement. Let's live in it for you first."
"How can this be so embarrassing?" Lin Chaoyang said, but he directly took the key in his hand.
"Can you please be polite?" Li Hanxiang said dissatisfied.
"Didn't I just be polite to you?"
Li Hanxiang shook his head angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that you made me so much money, I wouldn't bother to care about you."
"I hope you can repay your kindness."
