Fat teacher Elijah's words are very philosophical, and he sharply expounds that the social legal system is becoming more and more civilized, and Bella agrees with this, but feels that his words seem to be unfinished, according to the language structure, it seems that there should be half a paragraph after it......

Just as she was about to ask the second half of the question, the phone rang. Professor Grey informs Bella that the publisher has news and wants her to come over.

Realizing that her journey to New York was coming to an end, and that she hadn't met any bad guys from start to finish, let alone any bad things, Bella happily said goodbye to her good-looking fat teacher.

"I'm waiting for your new book to hit the market, and I'll definitely buy a collection when the time comes." Fat teacher Carl. Elijah laughed like Maitreya.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a signed copy when the time comes!"

"Then it's decided! A poor history teacher like me was really stressed to buy a bestseller. ”

Leaving the library, Bella took a taxi to Random House.

There's John. Professor Grey's recommendation, she definitely can't get the treatment of a newcomer.

The editor at Random House also read her, and the writing was fine, the storyline was tight, and there would be some controversy about religion, but the publisher was afraid of less controversy, not more controversy, and the more controversy, the better the book would sell, as long as it made sense logically, even if Washington was a direct descendant of Jesus.

As for the fact that there are a lot of smears against France in the book, that is not a problem.

The Paris trafficker incident has made such a big fuss, a large number of feminist organizations in the country are marching and demonstrating every day, and congressmen from the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are also spraying the French government in various public places, and there is no problem at all in smearing France, and now black France is politically correct!

Bella's Da Vinci Code can be said to be closely following current events, with suspense elements, a certain amount of plot reasoning, a combination of detectives, thrillers and conspiracy theories, and it can maximize the public's interest in religion, which is really a rare good book.

Others don't say it, at least these editors are fooled, they don't know a lot of knowledge in it, and the idea that the Mona Lisa is Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait is even more amazing.

Several editors agreed that the Da Vinci Code was of publication value.

Bella's appearance is also a plus, a beautiful writer! What a promotional material!

It would be nice to sign it up at the price of cabbage, but unfortunately they can't do it.

Bella invites Jerry again. Hogarth's office was in charge of her own side of the law, and the woman lawyer herself was still in Paris, but her firm had no problem sending two lawyers to help negotiate the contract.

Even if Bella has found a lot of relationships before and after, but she is still a rookie author in essence, Random House has made a detailed internal evaluation, and the first printing is expected to be 100,000 copies, and the price of a single copy needs to be calculated later, while Bella's royalty is set at 8%.

This is a figure that a newcomer will never get, even for many famous writers, this number is not low, and a very famous writer can ask for 15% or even 20% of the royalties, but if you dare to open your mouth, then the publisher will dare to conceal the number of prints!

After considering several factors, Bella finally agreed with this figure.

If a single copy sells for $20, then after selling 100,000 copies, she will receive $160,000 in royalties before taxes.

Random House will continue to take 8% of the money, hardcover editions, or increase the price, she can still benefit proportionally, the publisher is responsible for all kinds of publicity and charts to take the big head, she lies down and takes the small head.

Film and television adaptation rights, what advertisements, and what peripheral toys all belong to her, of course, this is also limited, it is impossible to say that I wrote about Notre Dame Cathedral in my book, so stretch out your finger, this Notre Dame Cathedral belongs to me! Cultural heritage is not covered by this ownership.

Random House wanted to sign a five-year book publishing right, but Bella was confident in her book, she only gave the copyright for three years, and finally set a four-year deadline.

Four years later, she would automatically take back the publishing rights to the Da Vinci Code. When the time comes, it's up to you to keep it for yourself or find a new publisher.

A series of contracts were signed, after which the promotion of the Da Vinci Code was entrusted to Random House.

Links such as selling miserably, interviewing, and setting up beautiful female writers need to be operated after the first wave of word-of-mouth comes out, and that will be at least two months later.

"Thank you, Professor." Leaving Random House, Bella said to John Brown, who helped to match. Professor Grey expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you Charles, he's a billionaire, and I'm just a college professor."

The fat old man said happily, Bella knew that Old Man Charles would play some role in it, but she would not underestimate John because of this. Professor Grey's help.

Professor Charles and his X-Men did not reappear, and Bella was in a happy mood, walking with the wind, almost singing, returning to San Francisco.

The whole trip to New York was perfect, there were no twists and turns, the people I knew were either professors or teachers, all of them were cultural people, Bella cleared her suspicions, and her physique was fine! It must be that cheap sister who always finds trouble for herself!

......

As news continues to ferment and Interpol rescues many girls, the influence of the Parisian trafficking incident is spreading to the world.

The Americans don't have any writing on their faces, and it's impossible for traffickers to just stare at the Americans, the trafficked girls come from all over the world, and for a while tourists from all over the world talk about Paris and change color, travel? Dream on!

If you don't carry two guns with you, you don't have black belt-level strength, and you don't have a team of more than 100 people, it's not recommended to travel to Paris!

Many economists are pessimistic about Paris' economic outlook for the year. The French government announced its surrender after paying compensation to the girls for moral damages, ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 euros each...... No, it is the announcement of the general resignation and the early start of the general election.

These things Bella just watched a lively and scared the murderer Heather at the same time.

According to her words, such a talented talent as the big murderer girl can be sold for at least a million if she is thrown to France! Most of those high-ranking French officials will break their heads because of this, and even hang up a finance minister or something.

At the beginning of June, Charlie and Samantha bought a red BMW M3 for the little beauty to celebrate Natasha's eighteenth birthday.

Seeing that the dust had settled on the events in Paris, they approved their travel plans, go out and have fun, but don't go too far.

The two of them are also a little worried, where is the right place to go?

"Can you swim?" Bella asked suddenly.

Who do you look down on? Natasha pouted slightly: "Go swimming now?" ”

The two said they were leaving, taking swimsuits, sunscreen and surfboards, driving Natasha's new car, and leaving California at a gallop.

There are a lot of beaches in California, but there are more tourists, and they want to go wild swimming in the middle of nowhere!
