Chapter 19 Planned Piracy Direction

Coming to this parallel time and space, more than half a year has passed by pinching fingers. During this half year, the lives of Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter are not stable.

But now, Kim Hyun-tae has taken the first step in a stable life, and has begun to live a peaceful and leisurely life.

After moving to a new home, in the first few days, he kept buying some daily necessities from the supermarket, as well as food for storage.

After about two days, he ended this kind of life and began to devote himself to the great cause of piracy.

At this time and space, my daughter is also eight months old, and she has teeth again, and at the same time, she started to crawl all over the ground again. It can be said that Kim Hyun-tae has liberated his hands a little, and does not have to hold or carry the baby all the time. guy.

Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae has more personal time, which he can make full use of.

And although his daughter is crawling around, she doesn't do dangerous things, so Kim Hyun-tae doesn't have to worry about her daughter at all, and can focus all his energy on his piracy business.

That cheap second-hand laptop has been dumped by Kim Hyun-tae for a brand new, more powerful, faster and better computer.

Due to the monthly rent payment, and the other party has not yet received a deposit, Kim Hyun-tae has plenty of cash, which can fully meet his small material needs.

And Dave from California Cultural Publishing House also notified Kim Hyun-tae two days later that the novel would be published in two days. This speed made Kim Hyun-tae speechless.

But Kim Hyun-tae is still happy about this. After all, the novel will be released one day earlier, so he can get the royalties one day earlier.

Dave told him that there is no need to worry about the novel, and all promotion-related matters will be handled by the publishing house. All Jin Xiantai has to do is to stay at home and wait for the news, and wait until the novel goes on sale for a month to get the royalties.

For this arrangement, Kim Hyun-tae happily accepted it, and simply stopped thinking about the publication of the novel, and it would be good to leave it to Dave to handle.

On this day, the scorching sun continued to radiate heat, bringing high temperatures to the entire Los Angeles area. Kim Hyun-tae was carrying out his own piracy business in the back garden, and his daughter Coco was having fun in the inflatable swimming pool that Kim Hyun-tae bought. play.

The little guy seems to like playing with water. Since Da Jin Xiantai bought the inflatable swimming pool, stored water in it and put the little guy in, the little guy immediately started playing happily.

The water temperature in the inflatable swimming pool is not low, especially since Kim Hyun-tae has been empty for half a day, and the temperature is very high during the day, so he is not worried that his daughter will catch a cold when playing in the water.

And he didn't store too much water in the inflatable swimming pool, it just reached the position of his daughter Keke's belly when she sat down.

The daughter was having fun and completely ignored herself, so Kim Hyun-tae was able to free up some time to carry out the piracy business without interruption.

Fingers tapped on the keyboard of the laptop, and each English character was quickly tapped into the open document.

Look at the name of that document, it's actually "The Lord of the Rings".

Yes, since it is going to be pirated, Kim Hyun-tae must choose some pirated books that will sell well. For example, this "Lord of the Rings" is a good choice for pirated.

Even after Kim Hyun-tae decides to pirate "The Lord of the Rings", he will continue to pirate books such as "Harry Potter", "Twilight" and "The Hobbit", which will also be able to derive novels from film and television dramas. .

At the same time, while thinking about pirating these novels, he registered with the West Coast Writers Guild of America through the Internet in this time and space, and put all the scripts of these novels on it.

Moreover, in addition to the scripts of these novels, Kim Hyun-tae will also put some movie scripts that can make several sequels on it.

Such as "The Bourne", "Taken", "Resident Evil", "Transformers", etc., but for those who cannot make sequels, Kim Hyun-tae is too lazy to pirate.

Thanks to traveling through the space-time tunnel and being mutated by the mysterious energy substances in the space-time tunnel, Kim Hyun-tae has a very good memory and can recall the movies he has seen clearly and in detail, including novels.

And also because of his intellectual growth, he now learns any knowledge very quickly and can absorb it in a short period of time, so it is not a problem for him to write in English at all.

Even, his current Spanish, French and Italian have become proficient in reading, writing and communication from scratch in the past six months, and he has also started self-study in Japanese, Russian, German and other languages, and has made a small progress. achieved some results.

But the change in language learning ability is not the most conspicuous, the most conspicuous is Kim Hyun-tae's ability to learn and absorb any knowledge quickly, which is the most perverted.

It's a pity that Kim Hyun-tae now puts this ability and advantage on pirated novels, and selectively ignores this point, which makes people sigh a little bit.

Jin Xiantai's typing speed is very fast, he can write as much as 12,000 words in an hour, without any pause in the middle, except for the sound of him typing on the keyboard, you can't hear other sounds at all when you stand beside him up.

And Kim Hyun-tae also has a good plan for the time of day.

In the morning, he used it exclusively for pirating novels, in the afternoon he used it for pirating scripts, and in the evening he was free to play with his daughter, so as not to let her feel lonely because of him.

In this way, time passed day by day, and Kim Hyun-tae also quickly completed one after another pirated novels and scripts. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and it was the beginning of September in the summer.

Within half a month, Kim Hyun-tae completed the pirated version of "The Lord of the Rings", and more than half of the pirated version of "The Hobbit".

Annie, who is far away in New York, fully understands what Kim Hyun-tae's life has been like for the past half month through the hidden monitor.

"This guy just writes and writes every day. Doesn't he know how to do other things?" For half a month, I saw Kim Hyun-tae writing non-stop from the computer every day, and Annie couldn't help but vomit. I complained about it in my heart.

Now, for Annie, apart from handling the bank business and various business affairs under her control, watching the boy's daily life through the monitor is her greatest pleasure.

Of course, this kind of behavior is not worth advocating, after all, it is very wrong.

But Anne didn't care at all, who made her rich and willful.

The housekeeper Nord was not here at this time, he went out to deal with other things, so only Annie stayed in the empty luxury apartment.

Of course, the dozens of bodyguards at the door and the few maids in the apartment were not counted.

Annie looked away from the computer screen. It just so happened that some of the documents at hand were processed, and she was free now, so she thought for a while, picked up the black wired phone next to the desk, and dialed.

Soon, the call was connected.

"I'm Anne Whiston, I would like to ask what is the current sales situation of the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire"?"

It turned out that what Anne called was Dave's private cell phone.

Dave on the other end of the phone had a dull expression on his face. It can be seen that he had never expected that a "big shot" like Annie would call him in person to ask about the sales volume of an author's novel.

But Dave didn't have time to think about it, and quickly responded: "Oh, Miss Anne, I'm sorry that you need to ask yourself about such a small matter. The sales of "A Song of Ice and Fire" are not bad, and 800,000 copies have been sold so far." , and the sales volume is still increasing steadily. The publishing house estimates that this month's sales volume can exceed 1.5 million copies..."

Only 150 volumes?

When Annie heard what Dave said, her golden brows frowned, obviously she was a little dissatisfied with this data.

In private, she asked the housekeeper Nord to buy the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire". Although Jin Xiantai only handed in three manuscripts, and Dave only published one volume, the second and third volumes are still available Not taken out for sale.

But just after reading the first book, Annie herself was attracted by the novel's magnificent fantasy world and full of intrigues and tricks.

Therefore, in Annie's mind, the sales volume of this novel should be even hotter.

"Is the publisher's promotion not enough? I also bought a copy of this novel and read it back. It is still very exciting and attractive. It stands to reason that the sales should be better. Why is it so little?"

The corner of Dave's mouth grinned, and he was a little noncommittal in his heart about Annie's words that seemed to be questioning.

However, even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't answer Annie like that with his mouth.

"Miss Annie, this kind of data is already a big sales data. After all, publishing is very different from other businesses. As a newcomer author's first novel, the data of selling 800,000 copies in half a month is already very It's gratifying.

And this data will gradually increase. After all, readers who bought the novel will form a good word-of-mouth publicity circle after reading it. will appear. "

Dave tried to use as simple and clear language as possible, so that Annie could understand what the data represented.

To be honest, the publishing house's promotion has already done its best.

However, no matter how the publishing house promotes it, Kim Hyun-tae cannot get rid of the fact that he is a new author, so no matter how hard the publishing house promotes it, it will take time for consumers to recognize it.

Of course, the content of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is very exciting, so the future sales will explode, and Dave is still very confident about this.

"Well, I don't know much about the operation of publishing books. Just do what you want, and I don't think I can give some random opinions and disrupt your plan."

Annie said to Dave on the other side of the phone very kindly.

After casually inquiring about this matter with Dave, Annie was about to end the call, but before she put down the phone, she suddenly thought of something, so she put the phone on her lips and confessed to Dale Said: "By the way, you remember to find a lawyer and an accountant for that boy. The copyright fee will be paid in a month. If he forgets to file taxes, it is not a good thing. You have to think about him."
