Happy days are always short-lived, and Chen Xiao took Bai Yiyi around the snack street again.

It can be regarded as making up for the regret that the last time I came out, I didn't have enough time to play.

"Are you still busy with work now?" asked Chen Xiao.

"I'm not busy, but now I'm touring with a singer, and I can't leave at normal times, so I have to follow it all the time. ”

Chen Xiao nodded: "It's okay, I'll look for you after a while, and by the way, I'll be a tourist......"

Bai Yiyi nodded and did not speak.

That is, by default?

Chen Xiao secretly thought that he felt that he had taken a big step.

First Bai Yiyi came to look for him, and now he agrees that he will go to her.

Chen Xiao felt that as long as there were no accidents, the relationship between the two would soon be determined.

And now, it's not a good time.

He has to wait until that feeling of going with the flow, so that there will not be too much psychological hindrance on both sides, and the success rate will be higher.

Moreover, he simply likes to be with Bai Yiyi.

Although he doesn't have the identity of a boyfriend and girlfriend yet, it doesn't make much difference to him, as long as the relationship between the two parties gets closer and closer, he is very satisfied.

Sending Bai Yiyi to the station, when Chen Xiao returned to school, it was just a little dark.

The phone rang, Chen Xiao looked at Professor Guo from the publishing house, and Chen Xiao's first reaction was that Professor Guo came to ask him about elf language again.

But after thinking about it, it shouldn't be, and by now he can be sure that Professor Guo has played the elf language thoroughly.

It's always easier to destroy than to create.

And it's always easier to crack than to study.

Moreover, although he is not very clear about Professor Guo's strength, he looks at other people's titles, and he is not clear.

Therefore, after such a long period of research, Professor Guo has studied the Elvish language thoroughly, and he is still not very surprised.

It's not that you ask the elf, but it's very likely that you sent him money.

After that, 500,000 additional sets were printed, and they were sold out?

Chen Xiao's mind spun fast, and he quickly summed up the best side of what was about to happen, and then quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, Professor Guo, how are you doing lately?"

Professor Guo took the phone away, looked at the phone number again, and didn't make the wrong call, why did this kid change his sex today?

In the past, I couldn't wait to block all the topics behind a sentence, so I hung up the phone as soon as possible, but today I was still in the mood to say hello to myself.

It's like the sun is coming out in the west.

"Oh, you kid still knows how to care about people, it's really rare!"

"Where, I know that you don't like this for a long time, I'm afraid of dirty your ears, what instructions do you have this time?"

Chen Xiao picked up the good ones and said that it was normal for the publishing house to default on manuscript fees, and this time it was Chen Xiao's turn, and he had to serve Professor Guo.

At this time, the world is big, and it is not as big as the money that is about to arrive.

I just don't know if he guessed right.

Sure enough, I heard Professor Guo say in a congratulatory tone: "Xiao Chen, your book is selling well, 500,000 copies have been sold, congratulations on becoming a best-selling author!"

In this world, a book that sells more than 200,000 copies can be called a bestseller, and Chen Xiao's novel has sold 600,000 copies.

It's undoubtedly a bestseller.

Although it is a best-seller, it still takes time to precipitate if it wants to be truly popular.

But Professor Guo doesn't seem to mention the most important thing.

What about the shares?

"Professor Guo, according to the rules of our publishing house, when will the royalties of the 500,000 copies be divided?"

"This ...... I really don't know, but there must be a settlement cycle, after all, the publisher's billing time is also arranged, it should be next month, I can help you take a look at it next time I go to the publishing house, you can rest assured...... We are a regular publishing house, and the royalties will definitely not be delayed. ”

Chen Xiao thought about it for a while, and the last time he received royalties was at the end of March.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but if I think about it now, that time may have happened to be the time when the publisher was billing.

Then his royalties this time will have to wait until the end of the month at least.

This is still the fastest.

If you follow the monthly end of 30 days, it may have to wait until the end of the next month.

Looking at it now, Professor Guo basically doesn't care about the money, so for the time being, he can only wait for the publisher to take the initiative to pay him.

"Well, Professor Guo, you keep calling me, not just to congratulate me on the best-selling book, if so, it's a little late to congratulate. ”

Who congratulates anyone on the best-selling when it is 500,000 copies.

"Haha, you're right, I really have other good things to tell you. ”

"What's the good thing? Somebody wants to buy the rights to adapt?"

The benefits that Professor Guo can tell him are generally related to books, and if someone really wants to buy the adaptation rights, Chen Xiao is really not necessarily happy.

Because he won't sell.

Professor Guo: "Adaptation rights? No, no, how can this be sold so quickly." ”

"What's that?"

"It was a publishing house in the United States that took a fancy to your Lord of the Rings and came from there to ask for the distribution rights in the United States. ”

United States?

Came here on purpose?

"The Lord of the Rings" has only been released in China for a long time, and it has always been a low-key sales route.

When did the fame spread to the United States?

Soon, Chen Xiao thought of the reason.

"Comet" was released in the United States, which caused a lot of fluctuations, and some netizens even set up a special forum.

And Chen Xiao's sale of books and movies has been set up as a classic success story by Du He, and the book he sold is "The Lord of the Rings".

And there are really many people in the United States who have watched "The Lord of the Rings", and naturally they do not hesitate to exaggerate.

Now that I think about it, it should be that the publishing house with a keen sense of smell saw the business opportunity, and saw that "The Lord of the Rings" really sold well in China, and the content was also in line with American tastes.

And so there was this scene.

"But if you adapt it from English......

"If the English adaptation can be translated by our two publishers together, it can definitely express the expression in the article very well. ”

Chen Xiao was still very confident in Professor Guo's translation level, so he nodded: "Then it's hard work." ”

"Hehe, no, I like this book very much, and I'm happy if more people can read it. ”

Chen Xiao just wanted to say, Mr. Guo, you have worked hard.

If it weren't for Professor Guo, his book would not have sold so much so quickly.

"By the way, remember to participate in next month's cultural exchange meeting, I can leave you a place. ”

"Oh, okay, definitely attend. ”

If Professor Guo hadn't mentioned it again, he might have forgotten this exchange in some corner.

In this exchange meeting, when the two met for the first time, Professor Guo mentioned it to him, but he didn't expect Professor Guo to remember it until now.
