“ok。 ”

In the face of Jack's kindness, Adam naturally would not refuse.

"Now there's a problem. ”

Jack got to the point: "Have you started writing the next volume, and when will you be able to write it?"

"The plot is there, but I haven't been motivated to write it. ”

Adam grimaced: "You know. ”

"I know, I know a......"

The corners of Jack's mouth twitched.

Well, don't pretend, he really understands.

Isn't it just that the money is not in place?

"The reprint of 100,000 copies will be fully rolled out and sold, ideally, it will be possible in three or even four editions soon, and then your income will skyrocket, and many readers will look forward to your later story, you won't let readers down, right?"

Reprint 100,000 copies, 50 dollars each, 10% royalty, and the income is 500,000, which is equivalent to the income of a median family in the past 20 years, an absolute huge amount of money.

In Friends, Ross later met a Black Pearl who was in love with a Nobel Prize winner, and Black Pearl's two Nobel Prize ex-boyfriends made Ross stressed, and his friend comforted him, saying that the Nobel Prize winner was actually nothing remarkable.

Ross replied: A Nobel Prize of 1 million dollars.

Then the friend directly 'defected'.

That would probably be ten years later.

The current 500,000 is definitely not much worse than the 1 million in ten years.

What's more, there are three or four editions.

This is what fascinates the fields of literature, art, entertainment, and more.

One moment he was penniless, and the next moment he gained fame and fortune, everything he wanted.

"Don't worry, I've already started writing. ”

For the sake of his own income, Adam naturally wanted to release kindness: "Seven volumes have now been conceived, and one volume is expected to be one per year, ranging from 400,000 to 800,000 words each. ”

"Seven volumes have already been conceived?"

Jack was dumbfounded: "Is the story of the Lord of Mysteries really so grand?"

"This is just the beginning. ”

Adam smiled: "As long as you want to write, you can't finish writing seven more volumes, under the grand world view, there are too many stories to dig up, of course, provided that readers are still enthusiastic." ”

"Yes, most readers have reading habits. ”

Jack said with a low mood.

He felt like he might have missed out on hundreds of millions.

After finishing the reprint, Adam was ready to leave.

"Wait a minute, I have a few friends who are your book lovers and want to come over and talk to you in person, no problem, right?"

"Book lovers?"

Adam was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course there is no problem." ”

This is the first batch of fans he borrowed from the great god in the parallel world, and he is still a friend of Jack, so he naturally wants to save face.

Jack led Adam to the conference room.

A group of people is already waiting here.

"Are you the 'Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master of the gray mist, the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune'?"

A little girl with a little golden retriever in her arms jumped out from behind the door.

"No, I'm not. ”

Adam bent over and smiled, "I'm more akin to a writer like Furth, who records the story of the mysterious Lord World. ”

"Then you don't have any potions to make my Susie speak?"

The little girl was disappointed and stroked the little golden retriever in her arms.

"I'm sorry. ”

Adam shook his head and said, "Potions only exist in the world of the Lord of Mysteries, and Susie who can talk is unique, and only belongs to Miss Justice Audrey, but I believe that even if you can't speak, your Susie is your best friend, isn't it?"

"Well, Susie is smart. ”

The little girl happily picked up the little golden retriever in her arms again.

"Mr. Duncan, this is my daughter Annie, and she is very fond of Susie in the Lord of Mysteries. ”

The little girl's father, Gerald, came over and said with a smile: "We are all your book lovers, and I have to say that the Lord of Mystery is really wonderful." ”

"Thank you. ”

Adam smiled reservedly, and his heart was secretly refreshed.

In his previous life, as a part-time small fighter, he faced either a stand-alone machine, or complained about denials, and even personal attacks at every turn, so that Adam has always been in a low mood, and he has no motivation for code words, and he is full of work all year round.

Now in the face of the sincere affirmation of book fans, it is natural to be how cool it is, no wonder some people can definitely go all the way to the peak of life by praise.

It's so reasonable!

Adam now felt light, and thought to himself, "Whatever you think, you can do anything!"

But it's a pity that this is an ordinary world, there are no transcendent elements, otherwise Adam would definitely be able to manifest the yang god, punch superman, and break through the sky.

This group of people is obviously very cultivated, even if they are fans of the Lord of Mystery, they are also very restrained, everyone sits around the conference room, exchanging the plot and world view of the Lord of Mystery, and chatting all morning.

At noon, Jack Cerf had a treat, and after dinner, they took their own leave.

"Adam, this is my business card, feel free to come to me with legal questions. ”

Anne's father, Gerald, gave the business card and said sincerely.

In addition to the reason for being a fan of book friends, as a professional lawyer, it is a basic operation to expand your network and business at any time.

The value of the Lord of Mystery is obvious.

"Thank you. ”

Adam took the business card, said goodbye to Gerald and Anne, got into the taxi, and told the driver the address, then took out the business card and looked at it carefully, and when he saw Gerald's full name on the business card, he exclaimed: "Damn!

I saw that the business card read: Gerard Hathaway.

"In the future, the master of mystery will make film and television dramas, maybe Audrey already has the right candidate......"

Adam muttered, "It's exciting." ”

In his heart, Audrey Hepburn of Girls' Generation is definitely suitable for Miss Justice Audrey, and she is originally called Audrey and has a pet dog, so maybe the squid is based on the girl Heben to set Miss Justice.

Now in 1992, Hepburn is in his sixties, so naturally he can't play Miss Justice, but now he has a little Hepburn with Hepburn's elegant temperament and sweet smile......

Night.

520 apartments.

"I'm having a treat tonight, let's go out together. ”

When Chandler and the others were all there, Adam announced.

"OMG!

Phoebe was pleasantly surprised.

"You can't believe it, but Adam is an excellent writer in addition to being a student at Columbia, and his book The Lord of Mysteries has been released in its second edition. ”

Monica, who had known for a long time, couldn't help but quickly explain: "He made money, no, he made a lot of money!"

Saying this, he waved his hands, as if the whole world had been contracted by Adam.

“OMG！”

This time it was Joey who exclaimed, and without waiting for Adam to refuse, he pounced directly, and a classic Joe hug: "I have a writer friend!"

After letting go of Adam, he pointed at Adam with both hands and smiled: "If you adapt film and television dramas in the future, don't forget to find Joey, I'm a professional actor!"

"I tried my best. ”

Adam smiled wryly.

The current Joey doesn't even know the 'fart smelling act'......
