Chapter 483 Huge Publishing Plan!

It is naturally impossible for Zhong Chuhong to play with Yin Jun. Now "Autumn Fairy Tales" has reached a critical stage of maturation, and the daily shooting tasks are very heavy.

In addition, Zhou Runfa greeted everyone on the set, and asked them to do himself a favor and finish the movie early so that he could go home.

Chen Yulian's due date is in June, and Zhou Runfa wants to go back in May at the latest.

For this, he acted with all his might, and he would go to help wherever there was a problem, and he just wanted to finish the filming task as soon as possible.

A well-known big star has made such a request, and everyone will naturally give face.

In Zhong Chuhong's heart, Zhou Runfa, who has been helping her all the time, is like a big brother, and of course she will try her best to help.

What's more, she and Chen Yulian are also familiar. When filming "Rogue Tycoon", Zhou Runfa, who wanted to go home to see his wife and help Zhong Chuhong hurry up to perform, often took her home to help her rehearse the show. Naturally, she and Chen Yulian matured.

Filming does not distinguish between day and night. Any normal movie should have night scenes.

This caused Zhong Chuhong's time to be very irregular.

If there were no evening scenes scheduled last night, it would have been very difficult for Yin Jun to take her out for dinner.

In addition, Zhong Chuhong knew that Yin Jun came here to buy an antique, and it was considered a serious business, so he just said that when he was free at night, he would call the hotel room to see if he had free time, and then go out on a date.

Yin Jun is not a hypocritical person, he will not hang around women all day long.

So after breakfast the next day, Yin Jun took Huo Jianning, Ding Linxiang, and two bodyguards to Henry's Bookstore in Los Angeles.

Henry Kant had been impatient for a long time. When he saw Yin Jun arriving, he rushed up and held Yin Jun's hand, "Mr. Yin Jun, my great writer! You are finally here!"

This way, it was like meeting relatives, which made Yin Jun, who was used to his somewhat indifferent British gentleman's demeanor, somewhat uncomfortable.

But Yin Jun also knew why he was so happy and excited.

In February, the cumulative shipments of "Jurassic Park" reached 870,000 copies, and "The Da Vinci Code" also reached 550,000 copies. Yin Jun was surprised.

With a good reputation, in just two months, "Jurassic Park" not only climbed to the tenth place on the "New York Times" best-selling list, but also broke through 1.2 million in total sales. "The Da Vinci Code" also climbed very quickly, and now it has reached a high position of 15, with a cumulative sales volume of 780,000 copies.

Such an excellent result is simply a miracle for a new author and two books with little publicity and planning.

A total of eight critics from "Washington Post", "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" recently commented on the two novels in turn, and all praised this as an excellent novel that is rarely seen in recent years, and it is definitely worth buying for readers Go back and watch.

Although the emphasis on books is different, and you have to like "Jurassic Park", and some appreciate "The Da Vinci Code", but I like to write a special article to comment and praise, which is not normal.

They are not random critics, but well-known critics who have their own columns in these newspapers. Even their unanimous recommendations are obviously the reason why these two books are excellent.

Originally, Kant Henry had asked the printing factory to print 500,000 copies each, and planned to sell them out in half a year, but seeing the popularity of the reading circles, Kant Henry hurriedly added another list of 500,000 copies each.

This is the eighth additional printing of Kant Henry.

He is already numb to such things, and he will not be surprised no matter how good the results of the two books are.

The miracle in the past year has made him firm in his idea that Yin Jun is a genius. Since he is a genius, it is not surprising that he wrote a best-selling book.

Even though the royalties he paid to Yin Jun had risen from 5% to 15%, Kant Henry was not unhappy at all.

Because Yin Jun earns more, he also earns more!

Yin Jun's pre-tax income is already 3 million US dollars, and Kant Henry's profit is even more than that of Yin Jun! !

Why?

Because Yin Jun did not allow Kant Henry to publicize, Kant Henry has not given any profits to those booksellers, and still ships at the most common 40% off price.

That's why, after initially selling well in California, it didn't sell well outside of the country.

As a result, when the books sold better and better, even if many booksellers asked for books, Kant Henry didn't have to give up the profits, so this rule has continued to the present.

Give Yin Jun 15%, the cost of the printing factory has been reduced to 10% now, even if a series of expenses such as transportation are removed, Kant Henry still has 27% of the income, which is a profit that many large companies cannot get from bestsellers!

Why do you think he wouldn't be grateful to Yin Jun? How can you not feel admiration for your vision?

Before Yin Jun came to the United States this time, he told Henry Kant that he had three more novels to ask him to publish. Henry Kant seemed to have seen bundles of banknotes falling from the sky to his home, no wonder he was so enthusiastic The long-awaited arrival of Yin Jun.

"Mr. Yin, please show me the manuscript!"

After welcoming them to his office and sitting down, Conde Henry rubbed his hands and said impatiently.

Yin Jun smiled and took the big backpack from Miao Weimin, and put the three manuscripts on the table, "Are you sure you can give the answer now?"

"I have to read them even if I don't sleep tonight!" Kant Henry snatched the manuscript into his own hands, and gently picked up a copy.

World of Warcraft Volume 1?

Take the second manuscript, which reads Volume One of A Song of Ice and Fire.

Good guy!

Still a masterpiece! ?

Only the third manuscript is unusual, and it also has a very unusual name written on it.

Forrest Gump.

The three manuscripts are thick and thin.

The thinnest one is "Forrest Gump", which is about the thickness of two ordinary books-this is a draft, if it is printed normally, it will be about the thickness of an ordinary book.

The first volume of "World of Warcraft" is three books thick, which is not a big deal.

The most exaggerated thing is that the first volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is as thick as five books, and this volume of "Game of Thrones" is not over yet! ?

"Mr. Yin, are you going to challenge some novels this time?" Kant Henry asked ponderously.

"Yes." Yin Jun said, ""World of Warcraft" is expected to have 5 volumes, and "A Song of Ice and Fire" has 7 volumes. It is expected to be written within 10 years."

Of course, it is not ten years for a teenager to finish writing. In fact, he has already written half of "World of Warcraft", and "Game of Thrones" and "Clash of Kings" in "A Song of Ice and Fire" are almost finished. Busy, this time next year, it's almost time for the deadline.

"World of Warcraft" Yin Jun wrote the story himself according to some official materials and the entire framework. Whether it looks good or not, first of all, the huge world view and structure are enough to make people amazing.

"A Song of Ice and Fire", of course, Yin Jun did not write as well as George Martin. What he can do is to describe the story he saw. As for the splendor, it is definitely not as good as the original.

But so what?

Yin Jun does not rely on novels to make money, all he wants are game copyrights and film and television copyrights.

It's a surprise that the book sells well, but Yin Jun doesn't suffer at all if it doesn't sell well.

"Is it too risky for such a long novel?" Cond Henry suggested: "I think the previous models of "Jurassic Park" and "The Da Vinci Code" are quite good, why not pursue the victory? "

Because as long as there are these two novels, the copyrights of some of the derived works have already been secured, and I am not afraid of being robbed by others.

The most important thing for me now is to confirm my various copyright ownership of these novels through publishing, rather than writing bestsellers.

Yin Jun thought so in his heart, but he answered something else, "Writing books is my hobby, not my profession. So I write whatever I want to write. You know, inspiration comes No, it doesn’t matter what kind of novel it is.”

"But... this involves an income of tens of millions of dollars!" Henry Kant said in surprise, "Mr. Yin, don't you love money?"

In the eyes of foreigners, talking about money is not a shameful thing at all.

Money is the best measure to prove yourself, and it is also a good thing that can bring you countless benefits. Why can't we talk about it openly?

Yin Jun smiled, "I like money, so this time, I brought my housekeeper here."

Yin Jun pointed to Ding Linxiang, "She will replace me and be responsible for negotiating with you about the royalties of the new book. In addition, please do me a favor. Didn't you call earlier to say that many booksellers in Europe, South America, and Asian countries You guys are all trying to contact me and want to get the publishing rights? Kant, you can call them now and say that right here, my agent, Miss, will negotiate with them in detail. "

"Oh, no!" An exaggerated sadness appeared on Conde Henry's face, "Mr. Yin, I thought we were friends, and we just need to discuss it carefully, and we don't need to find outsiders."

"She is not an outsider, but my assistant. And between friends, friendship and money should be separated." Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice.

Yin Jun is very familiar with Americans.

Since 1840, Chinese people seem to have had their spines broken, and they have a kind of morbid worship towards foreigners, especially European and American people.

As long as it's from a foreigner, it's fine.

To get a compliment from a foreigner is even happier than winning a lottery.

After the reform, opening up, and opening up, foreign capital was introduced on a large scale. European and American businessmen also quickly grasped the mentality of the Chinese people. If you praise a few more words during the negotiation, the negotiators in Huaguo will give up a lot. , so that European and American businessmen can easily obtain a lot of benefits, which is simply unprecedented in European and American business negotiations.

Therefore, Yin Jun pretended not to hear Henry Kant's words.

This guy took advantage of it before and made a lot of money, but now he wants to make persistent efforts to encroach on Yin Jun's interests again, but it is impossible!

If Yin Jun didn't have much interest in book publishing, and he was still the same as before, and he didn't want to show off before he became stronger, "World of Warcraft", "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Forrest Gump" , it will definitely not fall into his hands.

After all, JUN is not a newcomer now, but a prosperous author whose two books have entered the top 15 of the "New York Times" bestseller list.

As long as Yin Jun spreads the word, the publishing houses shouldn't flock to him?
