Writing Web Novels In America

The next morning.

In an apartment in Brooklyn.

Lily has prepared a big breakfast for everyone.

It's just that the atmosphere at the table is a little bit low, which is a bit strange.

Gene is still happy, talking about last night's party.

From time to time, Wang Jian looked up at everyone with a little guilty heart.

Lily, as if nothing had happened, told gene to take part in more group activities at school.

Only the red haired girl looks at Lily and Wang Jian strangely.

Ten minutes later, breakfast is over.

Wang Jian ran out of Lily's apartment to return to the Bronx.

He sat on the bus and thought about last night

It's so weird!

What's the matter with him and Lily!

Wang Jian scratched his hair hard and felt that things were getting more and more weird.

Forget it, forget it.

I don't want to

Today, I have to go to the publishing house to settle the first issue of royalties.

I have a lot to do about this.

He looked up at the two gangs of young black men with scarves outside the car window, holding pistols to confront each other.

Can't help nodding.

Well, the Bronx is here.

After getting off the bus, Wang Jian quickly ran back to his apartment, washed and changed his clothes.

Then, he drove to Xuele publishing house in Manhattan.

At the gate of Xuele publishing house, as always, a group of people were handing out copies of the first half of the manuscript and the outline of the story.

These people were rejected by various publishing houses, but they didn't want to give up their literary dream.

They expect their manuscripts to be recognized by other editors, and then their works will be published.

And they can also become a best-selling novelist.

And as a result

Well, New York has the largest number of publishers and music companies in the United States.

Therefore, there are the most dreamers of literature and music here.

And among the tramps in major cities across the country.

Tramps from New York have the highest literacy in literature and music.

It's just like the average beauty of the homeless in Los Angeles.

Wang Jian declined the manuscripts from several middle-aged people and walked into Xuele publishing house.

After registering at the front desk, he came back to Roy's office.

Only this time, Wang Jian's mood was different from that of last time.

And his relationship with Roy is different from last time.

But Roy seemed to smile, get up and shake hands without any change

It's like he was not the one who threatened to snow hide "I'm the wizard" in the cafe last time.

This is the legendary "bussiness is bussiness"?

Wang Jian shook hands with Roy in an awkward way, thinking.

Sure enough, I don't have the talent to be a successful businessman.

Not as thick as they are!

"Congratulations, Wang." "I'm the wizard" has sold 170000 copies so far

"The French and Latin versions will also be released in a week's time."

"You've really become a best-selling novelist." Roy clapped for himself.

But Wang Jian didn't want to pay attention to him now. He just looked at him quietly.

Roy shrugged when he saw that the other side had no expression.

Artists

Who hasn't been a little cranky?

He doesn't deal with bestsellers once or twice.

Not a few people have been cheated by him.

But in the end, these unruly "artists" are not only famous writers.

Don't most of them come back and publish their works to Xuele publishing house?

After all, Xuele publishing house didn't try its best to raise the price of books and eat the royalties like other publishing houses.

You know, the so-called best-selling author's royalty share ceiling is only 18%.

In fact, most of its profits come from signature fees and various copyright revenues.

And the publishers make profits by royalties.

What hardcover edition, commemorative edition, special edition, Collection Edition These are the ideas of the publishing house.

Xuele publishing house, for some reason, did not use this method for the time being.

Looking at Wang Jian, Roy firmly believes that if the other party has another good work, he will certainly come back to beg for himself in the future.

It's because works of the level of "I'm a great mage" can't support the pricing of other publishers at $30.

But Wang Jian didn't care what Roy thought. Now his head is full of money.

"Don't you mean to divide and settle the 4% royalty today?" Wang Jian asked."Of course." Roy readily took a document and handed it over.

"Take a look. If you don't have any comments, sign it. Then you can go to the finance office to get the check. "

What about TM's files?

Wang Jian frowned.

As he took over the documents, he considered whether he would get the tax and went to a lawyer first.

But when he looked down, he was relieved.

This is a picture of the sales of bookstores at a 4% royalty share.

Wang Jian looked at the total.

110000 copies.

Well, it's the total number of copies that signed the 4% royalty sharing contract.

Then, without looking at the specific sales situation, the note was written.

It's not that he doesn't worry about the fraud of Xuele publishing house.

Mainly because every book is taxed.

The unit responsible for the collection is called the IRS.

If not even the IRS, Wang Jian would recognize it.

In this way, he got a 4% royalty share of "I am a wizard" from the Finance Department of Xuele publishing house, totaling 110000 copies, totaling 44000 US dollars.

When Wang Jian walked out of the publishing house with a check, he finally felt that he had not read the online articles in his last life in vain.

It can really change money!

So, what is the money for?

Investment?

Bitcoin? Google? facebook？

This is the only vague memory of his past life.

But in the community work, Wang Jian inquired about it.

No one knows what these are.

He felt that either he would cross into a parallel world, or these things would not have been established.

If you can't make money with money, change your apartment first.

Because my roommate, Al, knows that I am the wizard was written by himself.

That means knowing that Wang Jian will have some money and will no longer be a poor man.

Black brothers, however, have a very low threshold for secrecy and money.

Second, the environment in the Bronx.

There's shooting all the time, there's explosions all the time.

Plus more black brothers.

Sometimes, Wang Jian felt that he was wearing clothes on the African continent.

Of course, the most urgent thing is to go to the bank to cash Xuele's check first.

Then, get your own checkbook.

Oh

Finally don't worry, which day was thrown into the street by the landlord.

Wang Jian walked briskly to the bank not far away.

At this point, on the other side of Manhattan.

PhD media branch of Acer Group, the largest advertising company in the United States, is meeting.

A chubby, decapitated middle-aged man is shouting: "our branch, within three years, the performance has been declining!"

"The customer said that our works are nothing new and still follow the old routine of the 1980s..."

Under the stage, a red haired girl listens, but she is thinking about her best friend Lily and the little asian boy.

Do they really get together?

That boy is still a pauper and a thief.

This

Would you like some advice?

The middle-aged man on the stage suddenly patted her desk and turned her attention back.

Just listen, the man said loudly: "so, we have to keep up with the trend. Recently, I'm the great mage is very popular. Many food companies like it very much. "

He looked around the office and finally made up his mind.

"Lynn!"

The redhead immediately raised her hand.

"You contact the author of" I am the great mage "and try to get the advertising authorization for this book." As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper. "This is the writer's contact information."

"Remember, by any means."

Lynn nodded and said, "I understand."

Then, turn over the print.

It says, "I'm a great mage" by Wang Jian.

Telephone: XXX

and her red hair is shining in the sun, which makes her very aggressive.
