Chapter 106 An Ordinary Day in 2016
In the afternoon, when I returned to the studio, the crying little boy was comforted by his parents, and he was able to shoot at this time.
Therefore, the shooting in the afternoon progressed very smoothly. It was originally not too troublesome commercial, but with the perfect cooperation of Xiao Keke, it only took one day to get it all done.
The director Le couldn't close his mouth.
Before leaving, the director also approached Kim Hyun-tae and told him that if there is a suitable opportunity to shoot a children's commercial in the future, he himself will strongly recommend Xiao Keke.
It can be seen that the small performance has won the director's favor.
Kim Hyun-tae didn't care, after all, he didn't rely on his children to make money, but the director had good intentions, and he couldn't help but appreciate it.
So he could only express his gratitude to the director, and promised to continue to try it if he had the opportunity.
In this way, Kim Hyun-tae 'inspected' his own animation production company, his daughter also completed her first commercial shooting, and the father and daughter returned to the rehabilitation center happily.
The happy mood of the father and daughter also infected Annie, making her feel very good.
In the evening, Annie made a famous dish in Northern China, 'Pot Wrapped Pork'. This is a new dish she learned from the master chef in Huaxia. All smiling.
After dinner, Kim Hyun-tae came to the fitness room of the rehabilitation center and started restorative exercises for his physical fitness again.
Little Coco stayed in the room with Annie's company, watching her favorite cartoon "Reda the Justice Messenger".
Night fell on Los Angeles, and it was an ordinary, ordinary day.
------Dividing line------
The days passed by day by day, and 2016 came in a blink of an eye.
Little Coco shot a chocolate advertisement in 2015 and became the spokesperson. Now as long as you drive on the developed highways in the United States, you can often see the image of Little Coco eating chocolate with a dazzling smile on the roadside billboards.
And the TV commercials shot by Little Coco also began to be broadcast on major TV stations. With the broadcast of the commercials, people became familiar with Coco, and fell in love with this cute and pleasing little girl with a sweet smile.
The chocolate series produced by the old Mike’s family sugar company, due to the influence of the correlation effect brought by the advertisement, began to show a slow growth trend in sales, which made the old Mike happy from ear to ear all day long. Find Little Coco and give her a lot of chocolates.
Fortunately, Annie took care of little Keke and didn't let the little guy eat so much, otherwise Little Keke might have tooth decay.
And after the new year, Kim Hyun-tae's health also began to show obvious improvement. First of all, he no longer needs to sit in a wheelchair, and can walk slowly by himself without support.
Everything is slowly returning to normal.
In December 2015, Dave has already settled with Kim Hyun-tae.
The first volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire" sold 3.6 million copies in December. According to the framework of the contract agreement of 10% of the price of 20 yuan for a single volume, Dave settled the pre-tax royalties of 7.2 million US dollars to Kim Hyun-tae.
The sales volume of the first volume of "The Lord of the Rings" is not as good as that of "A Song of Ice and Fire", but it is worse than the "Song of Ice and Fire". Under the framework of the contract agreement, Kim Hyun-tae received a pre-tax royalties of 11.2 million US dollars.
However, compared with the previous two novels, "The Collection of William's Fairy Tales" is still quite against the sky, even to the point of frightening, especially around Christmas in 2015, the sales volume in just a few days is even more impressive. People are speechless.
According to the final statistics, the monthly sales volume of "William's Fairy Tales Collection" in December actually reached 58 million copies, almost double that of November, especially within three or four days before and after Christmas, it sold almost 20 million copies number of volumes.
Therefore, according to the selling price of the book of 20 yuan and the contract framework of 20%, Dave settled 232 million pre-tax royalties for Kim Hyun-tae.
In other words, only in the month of December 2015, Kim Hyun-tae earned a pre-tax income of just over 250 million with two novels and one fairy tale.
Of course, these are pre-tax incomes. Kim Hyun-tae still needs to pay a large personal income tax of up to 35%, and the rest of the money can be regarded as his own.
Therefore, after Kim Hyun-tae filed his tax return, the income that fell into his hands aboveboard and without any problems was actually more than 162 million US dollars, which is also a considerable amount of income.
The extra fraction was about hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Kim Hyun-tae entrusted Dave without blinking an eye, and donated it to the San Juan Monastery.
At present, foreign agents still need to prepare for a period of time before they can sell Kim Hyun-tae's novels and fairy tales, so he can't count on this for the time being.
Because he spent more than 10 million yuan to buy land and build a house, Jin Xiantai still had more than 50 million yuan in bank deposits, but after his income came down in December, his bank deposits officially exceeded the 200 million yuan mark.
Strictly speaking, he is now a little rich man.
At the same time, after "Up" was screened on the big screen at Christmas, some discussions about "Up" appeared one after another in some newspapers and media, as well as some film critics' reactions after watching the film. view.
But generally speaking, the general direction of public opinion is still very good. Although there are occasional discordant voices, they are not harmful.
On this day, Kim Hyun-tae, who came back to his room from the fitness room, came to the living room after taking a hot shower. At this time, his daughter and Anne were watching TV, and the chocolate series advertisement shot by Coco was playing on the TV.
[The little prince of a certain magical kingdom was kidnapped by an evil black dragon. Countless brave knights went to the black dragon's lair, hoping to defeat the black dragon and rescue the prince. Unfortunately, all these knights failed without exception and became victims of the evil black dragon's claws.
At this time, my king Artoria... Oh, no, it was a heroic female swordsman who appeared. She defeated the evil black dragon and walked towards the little prince.
Just as the little prince stretched out his hand, wanting to hold the female swordsman's hand and express his gratitude to her, he suddenly found that the female swordsman passed by, ignored him at all, and walked towards the treasury of the evil black dragon.
When the female swordsman finally entered the treasure house, when she found that the treasure house was full of chocolates, she had a pure and sweet smile on her face, then looked back at the silly prince, and closed the door of the treasure house.
At the end, the prince is alone, riding a horse on the lush green forest path, the prince looks lonely, behind him stands a high mountain, suddenly a lump of black thing is taken from Throwing it out from the mountain peak, it was the body of the black dragon.
Well, the female swordsman occupied the black dragon's lair, and at the same time occupied the chocolate in the black dragon's treasure house, that's probably what it means. 】
Although this advertisement is a bit weird, Kim Hyun-tae finds it very interesting.
Annie and Little Coco also watched it with great interest, especially when the female swordsman played by Little Coco appeared and showed her might to defeat the evil black dragon.
Little Keke stood up on the spot, staring at the TV at the same time, waving her little fists, boasting excitedly.
"Ke Ke is very powerful. He defeated the evil dragon. It is an evil dragon!"
Annie played around with the excited little Keke, nodding in agreement with the little guy: "Wow! Wow! Keke is so powerful, you must protect Anne and your daddy in the future, okay?"
Kim Hyun-tae shook his head dumbfounded, then walked over, sat on the sofa and picked up his contract smart phone that he bought for $50 last year, turned it on and connected to the Internet to log in to his Twitter account.

Finally, I wish you a healthy recovery in 2016. 【From Texas－Pan Ruoke】
【x-on:】Kim Hyun-tae: Why did the mermaid in "William's Fairy Tales" turn into bubbles in the end? That idiot prince could marry another beautiful girl. I don't like such stories. I hate you, I hate you to death! [From Long Island, New York - Diana]
[x-on:] Kim Hyun-tae: Hi William, I wish you a speedy recovery. 【From Louisiana-Nitch】

Kim Hyun-tae glanced briefly at his comments on Twitter, most of them wished him a quick recovery, and some left messages to himself after watching "Up" or his own "William's Fairy Tale" Tucao about feelings.
After all, the number of followers on his twitter account has exceeded the 40 million mark and is on the way to 50 million. Therefore, there are many people who leave messages for him every day, and many foreign netizens have begun to follow him .
In this time and space, there are no network blockade restrictions, so Facebook has become a large-scale international social networking site. It is normal for netizens from all over the world to use Facebook.
Kim Hyun-tae didn't bother to reply to these messages one by one, and even looked at them roughly.
And now there are still many people who leave him private messages, this is for Kim Hyun-tae's personal benefit.
American girls are very bold, and even Kim Hyun-tae, an old man, is a little overwhelmed. He will blush when he sees some private video messages.
After reading the public message, Kim Hyun Tae clicked on the private message.
Sure enough, many girls gave themselves benefits again.
Most of these girls are white girls or black girls. There are also Asian girls and girls of other ethnicities, but they are relatively few, and they are far less bold than the above two types.
Kim Hyun-tae has seen quite a few naked white girls leaving private messages for welfare, and black girls basically leave messages in this way.
Most of the Asians are more reserved. At most, they just confess that they like themselves or something, and they will not take off their clothes and shoot videos for themselves, except for Japanese girls. These girls from Japan sent private messages to Kim Hyun-tae. Its boldness and popularity even surpassed those of the white girls and the black girls.
More daring Japanese girls, blatant [x-on:] Kim Hyun Tae dating? Cannon, and there are not a few Japanese girls who do this.
At the same time, Kim Hyun-tae also has to admit one thing, that is, these girls who dare to show off, each and every one of them are really amazing.
But it is a pity that Kim Hyun-tae himself is not a pervert, nor does he have any appointments? Cannon thoughts and ideas, so these girls are bound to be disappointed.
And for so many girls sending benefits to him on Twitter, he is distressed and helpless, and he can't laugh or cry.
After casually watching the private message video of welfare sent by two Brazilian girls, Kim Hyun-tae quit his Twitter account, and then started to browse the entertainment gossip news website.
