The next day.

Wang Jian woke up from his sleep and recalled the dream he had last night and couldn't help but blush.

One of my own functions seems to have been sealed.

Do you want to go to Al and find some "Playboy"?

He thought about it and shook his head quickly.

No, there are still many things to do today.

He bent over and walked into the bathroom, after washing up, he got on the bus to Manhattan again.

Before 9 o'clock, he stood at the door of Roy's office.

In this process, he saw many so-called novel authors coming and going.

Some people even serve tea and water to editors in the lattice who have no power, and are very attentive.

Is this the current situation in the publishing industry?

It is impossible not to be valued by editors, even letting your own words appear in front of the public.

While Wang Jian was thinking about it, Roy had already come to work with a briefcase.

He smiled and asked Wang Jian to enter the office, poured a glass of water, and said, "I thought the first half and outline of the manuscript were fantasy enough. But yesterday I read the complete book, and I have to say that your fantasy ability is beyond my imagination."

Wang Jian was nervous, "Can you still publish it?"

"Of course." Roy replied affirmatively, "I have modified some of the words."

He handed over the manuscript and said, "Look at it."

Wang Jian was too lazy to connect.

A big business worth $400 is a concern.

Publish it quickly, and it is serious to get a wave of money.

Seeing that Wang Jian had no intention of revising it, Roy smiled and said, "Then I'll send it to the printing department to print the first draft?"

Wang Jian nodded and expressed no objection.

As a Latino long-legged secretary took away the manuscript, Roy turned on the computer again and asked Wang Jian, "What suggestions do you have for the cover?"

It must attract attention. Two beautiful ladies who hit people with the ball on the book cover are good.

The male protagonist must be very handsome, just the popular young actors in Hollywood, such as handsome, Depp, Brad, who can take advantage of the popularity, whoever is popular will take advantage of the same!

I would like to get two more waist seals and find a few well-known and unknown writers to brag about it.

Don’t be afraid of being seen through, just be afraid of not being popular!

After Wang Jian expressed his opinion tactfully, Roy was very excited to reject Wang Jian's suggestion.

"That kind of cover will be rated as pg-13, and invisible will reduce many readers. The waistband is only available in hardcover books. Your book is a simple version."

What?

There is a rating system for books?

Wang Jian scratched his head and said that he was ignorant.

"Then what cover did you choose?" he asked.

"How do you think of this?" Roy put a picture to maximize, and then pointed it to Wang Jian and looked at it.

I saw that the picture was a completely black background with a boy with white hair in the middle and a pair of wings on his back.

The boy's hair was raised, he grabbed a wisp of flame in his left hand and a full white knight's sword in his right hand.

Wang Jian felt that he was like a Super Saiyan.

However, given that the cover is changed, you have to find an artist to create it.

Wang Jian said he was very satisfied.

After all, it is also excellent to be able to take advantage of "Dragon Ball".

Now, Dragon Ball has also become popular with the book's economic expansion in the United States.

After finalizing these, Roy took out the complete version of the standard contract and handed it to Wang Jian, saying, "Do you need to hire a lawyer to see?"

Look at the yarn.

400 yuan is not enough for lawyer fees.

Could it be that I have to pay for writing a book?

Wang Jian thought about it and looked at the contract.

Unsecured royalties.

The royalty of the first edition is 4%, and 10,000 copies are published, each volume of 10.

Authorization is paper and electronic copyright, with a period of 5 years.

Film and television copyrights can be authorized to publishers or not.

Wang Jian chose not to authorize.

Under the same conditions, Xuele Publishing House has the right to issue sequels first.

When other publishers have more preferential publishing conditions, Xuele Publishing House can choose whether to match.

After Wang Jian finished reading it, he signed his name.

In addition to royalties, distribution quantity and pricing, this contract is actually a standard contract from several major publishing houses.

If you don't agree, you don't have to publish a book.

Even publishing at your own expense is not possible.

After Wang Jian's signature.

Roy stood up, shook hands with him and said, "Happy cooperation."

"You can wait for about an hour, so that you can see the first book "I Am a Great Master."

"So fast?" Wang Jian said in surprise.

"Of course." Roy replied with a smile, "our publisher publishes about 100 novels a week, and an average of 20 a day."

"Every hourly new novels are sent to printing factories and printed. Then, they are sent to various bookstores and placed on new book counters."

"This is also the only promotional channel for most novels."

He looked at Wang Jian with an obscure look, saying that "I am a great master" is also of this fate.

"There is only one day's new book period?" Wang Jian asked.

"There is only one new book period." Roy replied affirmatively, "Although the time for each bookstore to receive novels is different, with the release of new novels, each book will only have one new book period in each bookstore."

Then you still have some yarn?

Wang Jian thought about it and found that his estimated sales volume was 3,300 in the United States.

There are so many bookstores and so many people, they will always be sold, right?

This is a novel, not an academic magazine.

perhaps,

Can it?

One hour later.

Wang Jian stroked the black novel that was still emitting warmth, and he felt a little mixed with emotion.

Especially when he saw the English letters written by the author Wang Jian in the column.

Roy smiled and said to him, "This is a gift for the writer, you can take it back."

"A day later, there will be a sales report for the new book period of "I Am the Great Master". At that time, we will notify you as soon as possible."

Wang Jian stood up with the novel and said to Roy: "Then I'm looking forward to good news."

Roy smiled and said, "I wish you a big seller for the new book."

"I wish you a big sale in the new book." Wang Jian replied.

In this way, Wang Jian walked out of Xuele Publishing House with a novel in his hand and got on the bus back to the Bronx.

Have you published a book myself?

I thought I only valued money, but he still felt a thrill when he held the physical book in his hand.

He fantasized that "I Am the Great Master" became a dark horse, broke through the siege, and became the bestseller ranking of the New York Times.

Then, he became famous in his book, made a lot of money, moved out of the Bronx, and became a well-known best-selling writer.

Then, there were tens of millions of fans and various speeches.

No need to consider going to Chinatown to serve dishes anymore.

Just as Wang Jian was trapped in endless fantasy, the bus had already stopped in front of the bus stop in the Bronx.

Wang Jian quickly walked back to his apartment and placed the novel on the table in the living room.

Then, I looked at the time.

It's 1:00 pm.

Wang Jian looked into the distance with a little distress.

In the afternoon, how should I face the sign-in officer who is 13 years older than me, Lily?
Chapter completed!
