Chapter 190: Progress

"Not bad, not bad!"

After reading the four books that had been completed, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction and was overjoyed.

After several discussions and revisions, it was finally decided to make a set of ten volumes of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" picture book, and with the efforts of two female painters for more than two months, four and a half books were completed, which made Sun Peng satisfied and a little surprised at the same time - the speed is quite fast!

It seems that the task of completing ten books in half a year is appropriate.

And more importantly, the quality is also quite good, the painting is fine, the colors are bright, and the character image and scene design that are extremely friendly to children are extremely good, at least in Sun Peng's eyes. Sure enough, he is a professional picture book writer, and he knows very well what children want......

"Mr. Sun, we hired two part-time assistants."

Seeing that Sun Peng's expression seemed to be very satisfied, Chen Ruoyi finally let out a long sigh of relief, bit her lip and said, "They come over every night and weekend to help with the coloring, so we will definitely be able to finish the fifth book before the Spring Festival...... And the first few books need us to explore, run-in, a little slower, the back will be much faster, by the end of April at the latest we will be able to draw the remaining five! ”

"Uh...... No, no, no! ”

Sun Peng was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't be in such a hurry, I'm not in a hurry...... Take your time and make the rest of the painting more refined than anything else! ”

When is this? On January 30th, the Spring Festival is not a few days away!

"Don't worry, the quality won't be reduced."

Yu Ruonan, who had been sullen, finally spoke at this time, but his tone was still hard.

The production of this kind of picture book or comic book is a continuous process. At the beginning, it was very difficult to set up the characters and scenes and determine the overall style, after all, Sun Peng only provided sketches. But after getting used to it later, the speed will naturally get faster and faster, so the girl has full confidence.

Sun Peng also knew that this girl didn't seem to be good at dealing with people, so he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, then you can control this yourself...... By the way, how about I take these four books first? Of course, I will settle the cost of this 160 pages for you immediately, and it is according to the standard of 351 pages, how about it? ”

"Dang, of course you can!"

The two pairs of big eyes instantly brightened, and the faces of the two girls showed surprise!

One hundred and sixty pages, one page three thousand and a half, that's five hundred and sixty thousand! Even if you subtract the 100,000 yuan that they paid in advance before, there is still 460,000 yuan, which is more than the income of the two of them last year! And how long did it take to earn these 560,000? It's only been a little over two months since November!

Subtracting the salary for part-time jobs, the two also made a net income of more than 400,000 yuan!

For a while, the room was full of joy, and the two girls knew that they could have a good year this time. Every time I go back to my hometown, I always have a feeling of not being able to lift my head, and this year I can finally go back with my head up, and buy some real gifts for my old parents by the way......

Looking at the little hands that the two girls held together excitedly without knowing when, Sun Peng also shook his head secretly.

560,000 is really a lot of money!

If it was just the time when he had just crossed over, even Sun Peng himself had been scratching his head for the property tax of 100,000 yuan, let alone the two little girls who were working hard in the capital. But he also knows that he seems to be generous, but he actually makes a lot of money - if this set of picture books can be as popular as the book on the earth. Even if it is only one-tenth or even one-tenth of the original book, the two girls will suffer a lot.

After all, as the original painting, they also invested their ability and time.

It's just that the bad situation makes them have to choose to sell the fruits of their labor at one time, otherwise as long as they choose royalties and adaptation shares as the original painting, like many other picture books in this world, maybe they can draw what they want with peace of mind in a few years......

Of course, the path is chosen by oneself, and no one can say anything.

And even Sun Peng himself is not sure that this set of picture books will definitely be popular, you must know that although the first book in this series on Earth, that is, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is recognized as one of the best children's books of the twentieth century, selling tens of millions of copies, but that was in the fifties, and the sales are also the result of decades of accumulation, who dares to guarantee that in this highly competitive world, it will definitely reach the level of the earth? Or even to put it mildly, can you make a name for yourself?

So after regretting it for a while, Sun Peng immediately cleaned up his mood and said with a smile: "Then let's do it, give me an account, and I'll use my mobile phone to transfer the money to you now......"

……

Leaving the rental house of two little girls, Sun Peng, who was carrying four picture books, was in a good mood.

To be honest, he was the kind of guy who didn't like children, because he always felt that it was too noisy and annoying, but after a few months of volunteering in a welfare home, he slowly changed his attitude.

Maybe it's because of the different living environment, the children in the welfare home are very well-behaved, and they don't usually make him any trouble, on the contrary, Sun Peng slowly gets used to getting along with the children, and even likes them a little, so he thinks that he can give them the picture books he promised in May and June, and he is in a very happy mood at this time.

Thinking of the welfare home, he naturally thought of his girlfriend, and after seeing that the time was just right, Sun Peng immediately called Zheng Jia: "Jiajia, what time do you get off work tonight?" I'll pick you up for dinner. ”

"Today? No, I can't. ”

The girl's voice sounded a little helpless, and she said frustratedly: "I just sent a task from above, and I have to work overtime until late tonight......"

"Okay, then you pay attention to rest."

Sun Peng didn't care, and comforted Zheng Jia with a smile.

In fact, he is already very satisfied with the current situation, after all, Zheng Jia is not a criminal policeman, traffic police or the like, not only on duty, but also emergency assistance in case of emergencies, the household registration police are similar to an office worker, and there are no occasional overtime hours a year.

Just as Sun Peng was about to hang up the phone after chatting a few words, Zheng Jia suddenly continued: "By the way, Dapeng, my mother said that I would invite you to have a meal at home...... Well, it just so happens that I'm working late today and can take a day off tomorrow, so you can come over at noon. ”

"Uh...... Good. ”

After a pause, Sun Peng hurriedly agreed.

If you soak in other people's daughters, you have to bear the corresponding obligations, and there is nothing to shirk, although you just came to the door on New Year's Day...... But isn't it almost the end of the New Year? After hanging up the phone, Sun Peng pondered: What should I do if I go to his girlfriend's house tomorrow?

As one of the new nouveau riche, Sun Peng naturally thought about it first.

He can now be said to be really not bad for money, this month's Xiaoao and the Condor Heroes' subscription is still amazing, Xiaoao, who has already finished the book, can bring him a six-figure manuscript fee very smoothly, and the Condor Shooting, which has just finished the book, has not only not fallen compared to December, but has risen by hundreds of thousands because a large number of fattened readers have begun to read books, almost breaking the rhythm of three million!

As for the upcoming Heaven and Dragon Slayer, the number of collections is close to one million!

This is Sun Peng's highest collection of novels before it was put on the shelves, and it has directly doubled compared to the previous Condor Heroes, and it is directly close to the other four top gods of Shuxiang Chinese Network, which is exaggerated and unbelievable. In fact, the number of Condor Heroes was originally much higher, but because of the heavy losses of the Dragon Knight plot before it was put on the shelves, the later plot of Yang Guo's right arm being cut off also had a great impact......

But the number of readers accumulated by the Condor and the first two books is still huge and amazing.

So not only is there a collection of nearly one million new books, but readers are also much more patient with this episode of Heaven and Dragon Slayer. Because it turns out that Lao Bai's beginning is this virtue, and there is nothing wrong with killing the two heroes and heroines you thought were completely fine! If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the Dragon Knight plot of the Condor Heroes, and look at its physical book sales!

Under the foreshadowing of the first two books, the physical book of the Condor Heroes exploded as soon as it was put on the shelves.

Internet readers and physical book readers made efforts at the same time, not only won the fifth place in the monthly ranking of Chaff in one go, selling more than 60,000 copies, but also made Zheng Ye change the original plan to print 300,000 more copies, and printed another 500,000 copies in one go!

Tsk, what is this concept?

This means that in just one month, the first printing of 500,000 copies of the Condor Heroes has been consumed, and the publisher is further optimistic about its future sales potential!

For this million sets of Condor Heroes alone, the royalties are 30 million!

Although he has thanked the world's developed economic level and strong copyright protection countless times, Sun Peng still has to thank after receiving the news, because he now finally believes in the plot of those YY novels, in such a world, it seems that it is not a big deal to achieve the small goal of becoming the richest man in two or two years......

Pull it away, take it back.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng immediately changed his mind and decided to buy some health products or something to bring over. Although he was born as a doctor, he was quite ashamed to buy health products or something (it really doesn't work, a healthy lifestyle is more effective than any health care products, even if you need to supplement something, it depends on the results of the examination.) Personal opinion, for informational purposes only. But when he thought of Zheng Jia's father's serious expression, Sun Peng still felt that it was the safest to buy health care products, after all, it could be regarded as the filial piety of the younger generation......
