Chapter 10 Going to the Publishing House
Kim Hyun-tae knew nothing about Annie's existence, and it was even more impossible to know that the novel he contributed was actually under Annie's suggestion, which received more attention than other contributors, and successfully signed a publishing agreement in the future Contract, the publishing house will also give strong promotion support.
Speaking of it, this thing sounds quite mysterious.
On the night of the night when Kim Hyun-tae saw the mailbox, he immediately contacted the other party in the middle of the night according to the contact information left by the other party, and agreed to meet and discuss in detail the next morning.
And because of the hint from the biggest boss Annie, the publishing house of course didn't dare to neglect, and agreed in a very polite tone, and had a very gentle chat with Kim Hyun-tae.
What is Kim Hyun-tae's identity in the end, so that Annie's big boss will signal the publishing house, and the people in the publishing house don't know it very well, but they understand that they must make good contact with Kim Hyun-tae.
There are some insider secrets, which cannot be inquired about by people of their status.
The other party's attitude is sincere, and there is no such domineering arrogance, which makes Jin Xiantai very comfortable, and he also feels that when talking with the other party, the matter of publishing a novel can be settled.
In fact, he didn't know that if it wasn't because of a certain woman intervening, he wouldn't be treated so politely by the other party at all.
Early the next morning, Kim Hyun-tae tidied up his daughter and dressed himself neatly. When he was ready, he left home with his daughter and went to the publishing house.
Kim Hyun-tae had already asked for leave in the middle of the night yesterday for the work of the car wash and the Chinese restaurant, so now he can completely ignore these two places for the time being.
After leaving home, Kim Hyun-tae rode his second-hand bicycle for about an hour, and finally arrived at the bustling Hollywood Boulevard at the foot of the Hollywood Hills and close to the edge of Beverly Hills.
Hollywood Boulevard is well-known all over the world. It can be said that it is a sacred place for countless young people with dreams, especially some self-proclaimed artists and artistic talents. I dream of coming here.
Therefore, on this 8-kilometer-long street, you can see countless handsome men and beautiful women. These people decorate luxury shops or high-end clothing stores on both sides of the street to make them more dazzling.
Of course, in addition to the handsome men and beautiful women here, there are also many tourists.
As the world's most developed film and television entertainment center, Hollywood has driven the tourism industry of the entire Los Angeles, making a large number of tourists from all over the world come here every year, bringing a lot of income to the local area.
In the central section of this street is the most famous Huaxia Grand Theater, where dozens of film premieres are held every year, and most of the Hollywood movies that have premiered here will be shown well in the world. box office, so this makes more Hollywood filmmakers pursue the Huaxia Grand Theater, and hope that one day the works they participate in or star in will land in the Huaxia Grand Theater.
Beauties, stars, rich people, celebrities, these people are the main part of Hollywood Boulevard, if there are no such people, then this place will be a bit less colorful.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that there are many nightclubs and bars on both sides of this street besides the dense luxury shops and high-end clothing stores.
Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles during the day is basically a world for tourists from all over the world, but at dusk, it will become a place for handsome men and women, celebrities with luxury cars, and the rich second generation.
In Los Angeles, as long as you have money, no matter what kind of service you want can be provided, yes, no matter what kind of service, as long as you have money!
For the rich, this is paradise.
And for the poor, it is also a place full of wealth and opportunity,
The difference is only whether you will seize the opportunity, and at the same time grasp the opportunity wisely.
As long as you seize the opportunity and grasp it, the poor can also make a fortune in a short period of time, and even become a member of high-end nightclubs and clubs from scratch, living a life full of beauties and dreams every day.
Therefore, for those who have dreams and hope to have a chance, Los Angeles is indeed a good place, especially for those young people who are eager to become famous, Los Angeles is a place that makes them dream of.
It's a pity that under the appearance of Los Angeles' luxury and wealth, in fact, there are all kinds of dark sides that ordinary people don't understand.
poison! underage? girl? color? Affection? trade! Human trafficking! Are there even worse people? body? Organ trading is hidden under the dazzling red lights of Los Angeles, and it happens all the time.
The reason why these problems exist in Los Angeles is also very simple. There are many rich people here, because those people are rich and like some exciting things, so this provides such an opportunity for some people with ulterior motives.
Where there is demand, there will be providers. This is a very simple truth.
And those so-called handsome men and beautiful women, as well as artists, could it be possible that they really came to this city to realize the artistic value and recognition in their mouths?
fart!
To put it bluntly, it's just for the sake of becoming famous once, then earning a lot of money, and living that kind of exciting, lavish and luxurious life.
For this matter, Kim Hyun-tae, who has a middle-aged soul, is very clear and understanding.
Therefore, when he came to Hollywood Avenue, he was really not interested in the handsome men and women who came to meet him or passed by.
On the surface, all of them are good, but in fact, you don't know at all whether these handsome men and beautiful women are drug addicts, or girls who were raped by rich people.
But there is one thing that Kim Hyun-tae also admits, that is, there are many opportunities in this city, and he is now one of the people who is about to seize and grasp the opportunities.
As for whether he will make a fortune, he is very confident about it.
It's just that Jin Xiantai knows one thing, that is, he won't get rich overnight.
Compared with those young people who expect to become famous, Kim Hyun-tae has a good mentality and is also very confident. After all, he belongs to the kind of existence that is open.
If he can't even be compared to a normal 'player' by cheating, then he's too much of a failure, isn't he?
On both sides of the 8-mile long street in Los Angeles, there are countless small film and television production companies. The scale of these companies is simply incomparable with the size of the five major Hollywood film and television companies.
But even so, every day at the door of these small film and television production companies, there will be countless boys and girls who are eager to become famous, hoping to get a role in this kind of 18 banned works.
Of course, these people talk about dedicating their lives to art, but in fact, most of them do it out of pockets.
In Los Angeles, reality can shatter everyone's dreams, and you have to recognize the cruelty of the world.
It is impossible to survive in this city just relying on dreams.
On the streets of Los Angeles, those ragged, bearded, dirty, smelly homeless, addicts, beggars, who dare to say that these people have never dreamed.
Perhaps, these people used to be the same as those handsome men and beautiful women.
Kim Hyun-tae hugged his daughter to his chest, and walked past the doors of dozens of small film and television production companies. There were basically long queues at the doors of these companies, and many role applicants were waiting for interviews.
For these people, it is impossible for Kim Hyun-tae to have too many thoughts besides blessing in his heart.
The California Publishing House is located next to the Huaxia Grand Theatre.
The company building covers an area of 30 acres, and the overall height is five floors. It looks surreal from the outside, but it is still very eye-catching in terms of the overall architectural design.
Kim Hyun-tae has learned about this publishing house. Although it is a publishing house affiliated to the California region, its scale is not small. It is ranked among the top three publishing houses in the American publishing industry.
The California Publishing House basically represents various types of novel publishing business, not the kind of professional book publishing agent. At the same time, there are directly-operated bookstores of the publishing house in every city and even small town in the United States.
It can be said that California Publishing House has a large and complete sales channel and various partners. Once he and the other party can reach an agreement and finalize the publishing agreement, Kim Hyun-tae doesn't need to worry about the rest at all.
With such a publishing house, what else is Kim Hyun-tae dissatisfied with?
Of course, some information about the publishing house was learned by Kim Hyun-tae from the Internet. As for some people on the Internet saying that this publishing house has greater capital and backing, Kim Hyun-tae did not care too much. After all, this has nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter much.
Now, Kim Hyun-tae has come to the door of the publishing house, standing in front of the big tempered revolving glass door.
Now he just needs to walk in, tell the front desk that he has made an appointment with Dave, the owner of the publishing house, and then talk to the other party.
It is impossible to say that Jin Xiantai is not nervous, he is still a little nervous at this moment.
After all, the conversation on the phone was good, but in the real interview, would the other party be so polite?
In this regard, Kim Hyun-tae is not sure.
Standing at the door, Jin Xiantai encouraged himself, and kept telling himself in his heart: "Talk to the other party as much as possible, lower your posture, and strive for a smooth negotiation about the publication of the novel. I am a newcomer. Don't put forward so many conditions, as long as the other party is willing to give 8% of the royalties, it is worth signing the contract.
Um! You must also ensure that you own the copyright of the film and television. As for the rights to the foreign language version, it depends on the conditions if the other party wants to take it. "
After encouraging himself, and at the same time silently recited some of the conditions he had set in his heart, Jin Xiantai puffed up his chest, pushed the revolving glass door, and walked into the publishing house.
