Chapter 30 Moving
On the third day after the commercial was filmed.
Lily bid farewell to her parents and returned to the position of sign-in officer.
However, Wang Jian felt that Lily treats her a little different from before.
The two of them had a closer relationship than their runners...
Lily is much more reserved now and doesn't invite herself to visit Gene at home.
However, when she was working in the community, she looked at Wang Jian from time to time, and there was a little more meaningless look in her eyes.
This made Wang Jian feel very embarrassed.
But what is even more embarrassing is that the house found by the real estate agency for Wang Jian is exactly in the community where Lily is located.
In Brooklyn, there are only a few communities with very good security, and Lily's neighborhood happens to be one of them.
Just as Wang Jian was considering whether to move over, he received another call from the advertising company last night.
The advertisements shot by themselves will be officially broadcast on TV tomorrow.
Wang Jian turned around and looked at Lily, just in time he met Lily's hiding eyes.
He scratched his head helplessly.
Forget it, just move.
After the advertisement was broadcast, who knew whether his addict neighbor in the Bronx would knock on his door in the middle of the night?
As for Lily...
After the community labor is over, we shouldn't meet so frequently, right?
After all, in a large community, there are so many people.
Their inexplicable relationship should come to an end.
In this way, Wang Jian spent today's community labor under his random thoughts.
He also ran away from the sign-in site and returned home.
Then, call the agent and agree to move tomorrow.
After completing this series of operations, Wang Jian opened the data report on the purchase group of "I am the Great Master" sent by Tom.
He did not look at the previous data analyses, but turned to the final investigation conclusion.
The conclusion is: The ones who are looking forward to their new book the most are male teenagers aged 13-19, and low-income young men aged 20-30.
As a faithful purchasing power of fantasy literature: middle- and high-income male young men aged 20-30 have no expectations for the new work of the author of "I am the Great Master".
Wang Jian looked through the investigation conclusion and looked at the first volume of "The Arcane God" that he had revised and sorted out, and was a little distressed.
"The Arcane God" is not easy to attract the welcome of fans of "I Am the Great Master".
If it really doesn't work, change the pseudonym?
But then you won't get the guaranteed royalties...
Without changing the pseudonym, it may be unpleasant on both sides.
After hesitating for a while, he called Tom.
After working with Tom happily, Wang Jian learned about the other party’s work experience at Landon Publishing House.
This prompted him to decide to use Tom as his copyright agent.
As for how the first volume of "The Arcane God" is released...
It depends on the results of the negotiations between Tom and major publishing houses.
If you can get a satisfactory royalty with your current name, then publish it.
If not, just change your name and pretend to be a newcomer...
In history, it is not that there have been writers who have done this.
After the call with Tom, Wang Jian stood at the window and looked at the night view of the entire Bronx, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Finally, I'm leaving here.
This night was the best night he slept in this world.
The next morning, when the sun had just shone into this dilapidated apartment building.
The crisp doorbell rang.
Wang Jian yawned and rubbed his confused eyes to open the door.
It was Tom who came outside the door.
"Ha, Wang, you have a new work?" Tom said excitedly.
"I knew that your age was the peak of creation. As long as you write a work like "I am a great master", I promise to sell it to you at a good price!"
"This time the style is different." Wang Jian walked back to the bedroom, picked up the first volume of "The Arcane God" and handed it to the other party.
"Why aren't it different?" Tom looked through the manuscript in a little puzzled manner and asked, "Isn't it still fantasy literature?"
"You can see it yourself." Wang Jian replied, "I'm considering whether to change the pseudonym to avoid disappointment from fans of "I Am the Great Master".
Tom glared at his eyes and exclaimed, "Have you written an erotic novel?"
Wang Jian: "?"
"Many well-known writers have done this." Tom shrugged and said, "I'll give you a new pseudonym in order to be afraid of embarrassment."
“However, it’s really profitable.”
Wang Jian shook his head and said, "The focus of this negotiation is to guarantee the royalties. As for the share ratio, it can be appropriately reduced."
"What is the bottom line?" Tom asked: "There is a popular best-selling writer whose share ratio is generally between 12% and 14%. If the guaranteed royalties are too high, the share ratio will be reduced."
"Well...10%." Wang Jian replied.
"Okay." Tom put the manuscript in his briefcase and said to Wang Jian: "You said on the phone that you want to move?"
"Yes." Wang Jian began to take out his suitcase and pack it up. "Go to the new apartment, I will notify you of the contact information by phone."
"Ok." said Tom, "I'll let you know if there is a result."
Wang Jian made a clear gesture and watched Tom turn and leave.
Then, he called the landlord and after the landlord collected the rent for that month, he carried a large suitcase full of clothes and drafts to the agency.
Single men move in such a relaxed and enjoyable way.
After the agent signed a rental contract and paid the rent for three months in advance.
Wang Jian finally moved into his new apartment.
This apartment has only one bedroom, not large in size, but the environment is quite good.
At least, there are police cars patrolling not far from here.
After Wang Jian used the apartment phone to notify Tom of his new contact information, he turned on the TV in the apartment and switched to the TV station.
After a while, Wang Jian saw his first screen show.
That feeling...
It's so embarrassing.
Especially after watching myself reciting the silly lines.
Well…
I don’t know if anyone recognizes himself during the afternoon community work.
He shook his head hard and threw the shameful thought out.
At this time, Tom was nodding while reading the contents of the first volume of "The Arcane God".
The writing is much stronger.
The settings are perfect, too.
However, in the early stages of this book, the conflict was not as fierce as "I Am a Great Master".
He thought about it and thought about how to get the best conditions.
Suddenly, he had a sudden inspiration and looked at the New York Times on the table.
Then, he found out the phone number of the New York Times advertising staff he came into contact with when he was working in a publishing house.
Then, he turned over.
...
“Yes, I want to advertise.”
“It’s not the traditional advertising, it’s broadcast in the form of interviews.”
"It's not a false interview that is lying to others, do you know "I Am the Great Master"?"
"It's the author's new book that is about to be released. You pretend to interview, but actually promote it."
"How much? Five thousand dollars, the smallest layout?" Tom's voice suddenly became louder.
However, after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay. However, the latest interview is tomorrow morning."
"I'll send it to you when the address and the problem." Tom hung up the phone after writing down the other party's fax number.
Then, he said to himself: "It is better to wait for them to bid for it if you take the initiative to submit your article."
"Look at how high it can be traded this time."
Chapter completed!
