Three hours later, the dinner ended.

Wang gradually sat in the back seat of the car, looking at Tom who was driving, thinking about what had just happened.

It is true that Random House's ambitions are not limited to the novel "Arcane Throne".

What they want is to work with the website to physically publish works that have proven to be popular.

The condition given is that a part of the cost price of the physical book will be provided as a special supply for fans of the website.

The rest of the number of volumes, calculated according to a certain formula, to obtain the corresponding number of copies and royalty sharing.

When Wang gradually heard this proposal, his first reaction was: Haven't the six major publishing houses formed an alliance to win over those low-level writers?

But a young man who stayed in the room replied with a smile: "We are rivals with your website, and aren't we the other five publishing houses?"

"What's more, it's possible to make money by cooperating with you, but you've been losing money by cooperating with them. ”

All right...

There is no eternal opponent, only eternal interests.

Wang gradually unconsciously played with Lily's fingers, but his mind kept thinking.

Random House has a strong physical book sales network.

The website owns 30% of all works except "American Gods".

Then, the cooperation between the two sides can naturally increase more income.

But when the physical book will be published is another big question.

Because there will be an accumulation process of the number of followers of the work published on the website.

Wang gradually patted Tom on the shoulder and asked, "How long has it been since Arcane Throne ended, and what is the current number of bookings on the website?"

Tom, as a person with a lawyer's license, is naturally thorough.

"You want to use Arcane Throne as a reference for physical book publishing? I'm afraid not, after the book has undergone gamification and comic modification, the number of fans is far from comparable to other works on the site. ”

"Negotiating, set the goal a little higher, and then slowly lower it. Wang gradually asked casually: "By the way, is the follow-up comic of "Arcane Throne" going to be published?"

"Yes. Tom replied as he drove, "Dark Horse Comics has accelerated the drawing process at EA's request.

"However, I heard that Marvel and DC Comics will also take corresponding measures in order to snipe the dark horse. ”

,

How can there be opponents everywhere?

Wang gradually took a deep breath and ordered, "Tomorrow, you will send the data changes in the number of reservations for the Arcane Divine Throne to my office. ”

"Okay. ”

Half an hour later.

Wang and Lily pushed open the door and walked towards the apartment.

I have to say that after staying in the United States for a long time, even the shame will decrease little by little.

This time, Wang gradually didn't even ask Lily if she wanted to send her back to the apartment.

What makes a superior apartment different from a regular apartment is that it offers meticulous service.

Except for the two sturdy security personnel still standing at the entrance of the apartment, there are actually staff members in the elevator at this moment.

Lily looked at all this curiously, but at the same time she was a little afraid that the other party would look at her.

When Wang gradually led her into this duplex apartment.

Lily breathed a sigh of relief, then her eyes were drawn to it.

Leather sofas, large screen TVs, and all kinds of furniture that look expensive.

She recalled today's experience and pretended to glance at Wang gradually inadvertently.

Young and golden, and very talented.

She looked in the mirror again.

Then, he began to wonder what else he could attract him.

But Wang gradually had no idea what Lily was thinking at the moment.

He smiled and poured a cup of coffee, pulled Lily on the couch, and talked about some recent observations.

The more Lily listened, the more confused she became.

Finally, she bit her lip and said to Wang Yan: "I'll go take a shower first, my body is slimy." ”

"Okay. Wang gradually walked into the guest room, took out a set of toiletries, and said to Lily: "This is prepared by the staff, I don't know if it is the brand you use often." ”

Lily looked down at it, and it was all kinds of luxuries.

She took these, picked up her little kun bag, and walked into the bathroom.

And Wang gradually thought about things while pressing the remote control indiscriminately.

After about ten minutes, Lily walked out of the bathroom a little shyly.

I've never worn this kind of clothes on my body.

And Wang Gradual's eyes also moved away from the TV.

He looked into Lily's eyes, widening and widening.

The breathing also rose and fell with the sound of the other party's high heels, and became heavier and heavier.

Soon, there was a jumble of voices in the room.

......

At the same time, Tennessee.

Leonard was alone in bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Tomorrow, three manga will be released.

They are "Spider-Man", "Superman", and "Arcane Throne".

This...

What is the trade-off?

First of all, let's exclude "Superman".

Since this comic changed its main writer, the plot has become more and more ridiculous.

Superman, Superwoman, Superman...

Is this a collective relocation of Kryptonians to Earth?

Then, it's left with Spider-Man and Arcane Throne.

The content behind "Arcane Throne", I have already read it on the Internet, and I have also booked a physical book.

Although "Spider-Man" is most likely a story of hiding his identity and saving the world, he doesn't know the specific plot.

Or "Spider-Man"?

Alas, why do you only have so little pocket money!

And just like that, the sky had already dawned before I knew it.

Leonard hesitated, but decided to get up and go to the comic shop.

Anyway, I can't sleep, and it's good to be the first to get a new single issue of "Spider-Man".

He quietly put on his clothes and walked out of the house very slowly.

But when Leonard arrived at the door of the comic shop, he was surprised to find that there were already people waiting there.

Take a closer look.

Well, no surprises, it's still those familiar old faces.

"Hi, Leonard, what are you buying?" one of them asked.

"Spider-Man. Leonard replied in the affirmative.

"Don't you really like Arcane Throne, why did you buy Spider-Man?" the man said mockingly.

"As I said, classical music and comics have nothing to do with each other. What's more, he is nicknamed "Knowledge Kid", and he is simply laughing to death!"

"Comics should be flesh and blood!"

Leonard looked at this staunch black fan of "Arcane Constellation", pursed his lips, and no longer argued anything.

Finally, in anticipation of everyone, the sun has fully risen.

The owner of the manga shop also opened the door.

But before everyone could walk into the store, the boss took out three giant posters and pasted them outside the store.

I saw a poster of Superman stretching out a hand and flying into the sky.

The other is Spider-Man lying on a wall, looking up at the sky.

The last one is the back of a young mage walking forward.

Behind him, there were rows of corpses mixed with red and white brains.

In addition to the typing of "Arcane Throne", the poster is marked with a nickname.

Take a closer look, it's a "headshot maniac"!
