"The Four Famous Capture of Kanto" was reprinted in two editions, a total of 18,000 copies were printed, and nearly 15,000 copies were sold in Taiwan alone, and they are still on sale in the Xiangxiang area, Singapore, and Malaysia, but the shipments are very good.

This is the great news that Zhang Tan received in mid-January.

The Laba Festival has already passed, and there are two more snows in Heqi, and the weather is so cold that people don't want to go out.

But Zhang Tan was excited because the traditional version was selling well, and saw a tall snowman piled up on the curb of the main road. So the old man talked about the boyish madness, a run-up accelerated, and stepped forward to be a 360-degree whirlwind flying leg, from the neck, the snowman was successfully decapitated.

The snow was sprinkled all over the sky, and the cold wind blew, wrapping Zhang Tan's vaguely visible figure that began to draw strips, looking so arrogant.

Then, in the contemptuous eyes of several passing students projecting "childish", they covered their faces and retreated.

Carried away.

Convergence point.

However, passing by the corner and throwing away the few guys who despised him, Zhang Tan resumed the posture of the caliper-headed gangster, humming the tune of "We ordinary people, we should be happy today", and climbed the stairs into the classroom.

"Detective." When Tang Tongxin saw Zhang Tan, he immediately beckoned.

Zhang Tan sat next to Lu Jing, leaning sideways, propping his elbows on the table, and touching his chin with his hand: "What's the matter?" When he spoke, his eyes glanced at Lu Jing.

Xiao Nizi has already put on a thick down jacket, with a pair of clear big eyes on her fair face. can already look at Zhang Tan, instead of always blushing and looking away like when school first started.

It seems that he has adapted to Zhang Tan's cloudy old man's eyes.

When an old man looks at a woman, he first looks at the buttocks and then at the chest, then at the thighs and at the waist, and then the face is beautiful.

Aggressive, it is said to be mature, but it is actually commonly known as "shameless".

Zhang Tan looks at his little sister now, and he is very direct and undisguised, after all, he is a person who has experienced, and the discipline of shyness has been lost early. Especially when he sees those high school students, when he sees the object he likes, he dodges and doesn't dare to look at each other, and he is even embarrassed to speak, he wants to laugh.

"Detective, you often go to Hexi, don't you?" Tang Tongxin asked.

"That's right."

"And when are you going next?"

Zhang Tan raised his eyebrows: "I'll go there in two days, I'm going to buy something, what's the matter, do you need me to help you bring anything?" ”

Tang Tongxin said a little embarrassed: "I want to be with you, I haven't been to Heqi much, I want to familiarize myself with the road of Heqi, I want to go to the city to work during the winter vacation this year." ”

"Part-time job during the winter vacation, okay, I'll call you when I go, and take you to get acquainted with Hexi." Zhang Tan didn't hesitate much, helping his classmates, this is a good deed, and people should do meaningful things when they live.

"Thank you."

Zhang Tan smiled and said: "Whatever you are doing, you are all classmates, and you are very nice (good, like), and the people who work during the winter vacation are all good children." ”

Working part-time during winter and summer vacations is a very positive thing, which can not only exercise yourself but also subsidize your family. Although Zhang Tan didn't work much in winter and summer vacations, he was not idle at home, and he caught fish and shrimp every summer vacation to earn some extra money. He wanted to go to Hehuai City to work, but he was unfamiliar with life there and was a little stage frightened.

Therefore, Zhang Tan still admires Tang Tongxin a lot, and he only worked on winter vacation in his first year of high school.

……

At noon, Wang Conglun called and told Zhang Tan that he had received the 60,000-word manuscript of "The Four Famous Catchers of the Beijing Division" that he had sent, and he also knew that the traditional version of "The Four Famous Catchers and Earthquakes in Kanto" was selling very well in the Taiwan area, and it was about to exceed 20,000 copies.

"I'm afraid to estimate, it shouldn't be a problem to sell 30,000 copies in the end, even if you can't sell it, 25,000 copies can definitely make you more than 100,000 manuscript fees." Wang Conglun said with great certainty.

The contract signed by Zhang Tan with Xianxian Culture is a fixed ratio of 13% of the sales figure as the remuneration for the author, and 25,000 copies are calculated, 160 New Taiwan dollars per book, and a rough exchange rate of 4 to 1, which is 40 yuan a copy. The sales figure of 25,000 is the total turnover of more than 1 million.

After deducting the cost of work, transportation, and labor costs, calculated as an integer of one million, 13% of the remuneration is 130,000. The manuscript tax of Taiwan is 20%, and after tax deduction, it is more than 100,000 yuan.

That's a lot of money.

"Then I will borrow your auspicious words from the editor-in-chief Wang." Zhang Tan responded with a smile, he was more excited than anyone else to be able to sell such a good number, but he still had to be reserved, "It's gratifying that the traditional version sells well, but what I'm looking forward to most is that the simplified version can be released, and there are a lot of people in our mainland." ”

"Hehe, don't expect too much from the simplified version, there are too many people watching pirated versions now, and not many people are reading the genuine version."

"I know this, in short, genuine readers should be cultivated slowly, and when the economic conditions are better in the future, more and more people will support genuine. Moreover, I have a simplified version, and I still have a thought, I always feel that I can't get a simplified version, it's not really a book, and I can't do it. ”

"Haha, don't worry, the traditional version of "The Four Famous Earthquake Capture Kanto" is selling so well, there will definitely be a publisher to follow up and help you publish a simplified version."

"I lend you good words."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Tan picked up the traditional Chinese version of "The Four Famous Capture of the Kanto Region" from the table, and was slightly dissatisfied.

Although he gave the whole book a lot of extra plots, the overall plot of the whole story is still too weak, the main line of the plot is too simple, and when the characters are created, there is not much space to repeat them one by one, and the emotional scenes are almost zero. Of course, the original book itself is very thin.

If you really want to write it heartwarmingly, singing and crying, then it won't be "The Four Famous Capture Kanto".

"Anyway, the works of practicing hands can't be more demanding. Now let's look at the results of the next "Four Famous Catchers", hoping to be an instant hit and directly adapted into a film and television drama. ”

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Tan called Tang Tongxin and went to Heqi City together, accompanied by music teacher Zhu Yunfei. Zhu Yunfei went to the city to do some errands, and at the same time instructed Zhang Tan to buy an accordion. Now Zhang Tan has already practiced the guitar and is ready to learn the accordion again, watching Zhu Yunfei play the accordion, I feel quite handsome.

I walked around Heqi for a whole afternoon, and walked around the more prosperous streets.

When passing by the newsstand of books and periodicals, Zhang Tan deliberately went in to look for it, and really found "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition", looking at his novels and selling them in the newsstand, this feeling is very punctual.

"Boss, is "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition" selling well?" Tang Tongxin asked curiously.

"This one, it's pretty good, and a lot of people buy it. Although it's a new magazine, this one writes martial arts novels, and there are many students who like to read martial arts novels now, right? Buy a copy? It looks good. ”

Zhang Tan waved his hand: "Boss, you better sell it to others, I won't look at it." ”

The boss also wanted to sell: "It's very good-looking, look good, I have sold more than 100 copies." ”

"Not really." Zhang Tan said with a smile.

The more the boss said it looked good and sold well, the happier he was. Of course, the more reserved they are not to buy, so that the boss can say more good things and love to listen.

Tang Tongxin didn't know Zhang Tan's Xiao Jiujiu, she was a little overwhelmed, she couldn't help it, and said: "Boss, a martial arts novel in the magazine was written by him." ”

"What?" The boss didn't react.

Zhang Tan waved his hand: "It's nothing." ”

At the same time, he grabbed Tang Tongxin, didn't let her continue to show off, and left quickly.

Uncle, I'm actually a low-key person!
