Chapter 248: What, the novel has become popular abroad?
Nohara was indeed gambling, but he thought he had a good chance of winning.
First of all, the novel is good enough. He is sure that the spiritual core of the novel will resonate with readers in the island nation.
Secondly, with the backing of Kadokawa Bookstore, even ordinary novels can attract attention as long as they are willing to promote them.
In the end, it was Jiang Yulou.
Nohara Hirotomo believes that even if he doesn't read novels, Jiang Yulou is a writer who is very worth investing in. If he were to be used as a propaganda point, the public would be very eager to learn about this exotic genius writer.
And what's the best way to get to know a writer?
His novels are a very good bridge, who makes people think that they can see the writer's heart through the novel.
Jiang Yulou smiled and thanked: "Thank you really for editing Nohara, the number of first prints of 100,000 copies is not easy to talk about." β
"Hey, I've really been talking to the editor-in-chief for a long time."
Hirochi Nohara recalled that when he was in Tokyo, he pestered the editor-in-chief for a long time for this book, "This shows the importance we attach to Mr. Jiang, and I hope you can choose our publishing house as a partner in the island country." β
Before coming to Yanjing, he made a lot of promises in order to persuade the editor-in-chief.
You must know that the number of books that publishers bring to the market every month is also limited, and how many senior contracted writers are waiting for the schedule.
If the sales of "Love Letters" do not meet expectations, there is a high probability that his writers will not get a good schedule next year.
But again, he is optimistic about this novel, which will definitely surprise the literary world of the island country.
Jiang Yulou doesn't have so many requirements, as long as the manuscript fee is in place, anything can be discussed. Kadokawa Bookstore is so sincere, so there is no need to think about it.
If you really want to find another house, according to the current level of transportation and communication, it will be very troublesome.
"Then, Editor Nohara, I'm very satisfied with the conditions of your company, and we can sign a licensing contract at any time."
"Hey! Thank you so much, Mr. Jiang! Nohara Hirochi breathed a sigh of relief, he was not allowed to delay any longer, but decided to sign the contract now, "If Mr. Jiang doesn't object, we can sign the contract now." β
Jiang Yulou said: "No problem, but did you bring the contract?" β
"Brought it."
Jiang Yulou was about to take over the contract, but Ji Zhenghuai coughed.
"Director Ji, what's wrong?"
"This contract still needs to be witnessed by the comrades of the Foreign Cultural Liaison Bureau, which can be regarded as a successful step for our country's culture to go global." Ji Zhenghuai said a lot of clichΓ©s, Jiang Yulou thought about it, and he understood.
Political achievements, as if no one understands.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yulou and Nohara Hirochi agreed to sign a contract tomorrow.
So, the next day, "Ren M Daily" reported an article,
"On October 15, 1980, the publication of the novel "Love Letter" by Comrade Jiang Yulou, a young writer in China, was finally successfully negotiated in the island country with the joint efforts of the Bureau of Foreign Cultural Liaison and the People's Literature Society, which was an important step for China's culture and a ...... for world cultural exchanges."
Jiang Yulou and his novel "Love Letter" are popular again, and this time it is popular because this novel is out to sea.
I have to say that in this era, there is already the meaning of flowers outside the wall and fragrance inside the wall. If a domestic novel can be introduced by developed countries, there must be something outstanding, so why don't you buy it quickly.
As a result, his novel ushered in a real rush after it went on sale.
It's good to make money, but there are also troubles, no, for this purpose, I specially invite guests to dinner, in order to appease the curiosity of my friends.
On this day, he and his roommates entered the hotel box, and they were surrounded by friends in the box, and everyone watched Jiang Yulou like a movie star.
Wang Shuo spoke first, "Yulou, is "Love Letter" really going to be published in the island country? β
Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Jiang Yulou asked rhetorically: "Well, it's all in the news, so can it be fake?" β
Wang Shuo's jealous eyes were red, "You are not yet twenty years old, and you have become a world-class writer, it's too easy, right?" β
"What's easy, everything in Yulou now is obtained by his own efforts step by step." Wei Guoping Road.
Wei Guoping, this kid can, he didn't invite him to the restaurant so many times in vain.
After seeing Jiang Yulou's appreciative gaze, Wei Guoping smiled proudly.
Jiang Yulou still explained, "In fact, there is nothing in the foreign market. Don't look at my reputation in China, the remuneration I get is the highest level, but abroad, I am a newcomer, not famous, and the remuneration standard is no different from that of a newcomer. β
It's just a pity that his explanation didn't interrupt the curiosity of these people, but they became more interested, and when they talked about the rise, they even put aside Jiang Yulou, the protagonist of the incident, and talked about various possibilities.
The discussion came and went, and there was only one focus of everyone's attention, that is, the manuscript fee that the publication of "Love Letter" would bring to Jiang Yulou.
First of all, the domestic manuscript fee, everyone knows that he is now getting a print print in China, and the more he sells, the more he gets.
Originally, the sales of "Love Letter" have been stable since its release. But after the news spread from the "Island Country Publishing", the novel simply sold like crazy, and countless readers went to Xinhua Bookstore or small bookstore every day to try their luck.
The reason why it was a chance was naturally because the novel was sold out again.
Don't look at him young, but he is so famous, there are really few people in China who can compare with him. If it is compared to the remuneration, no one can compare.
A book and a courtyard house?
It's really nothing here in Jiang Yulou.
Domestic manuscript fees are so high, let alone island countries.
Although you have never been to an island country, you have heard of it, and it is rumored that even ordinary workers can earn 100,000 yen a month, which is equivalent to hundreds of dollars.
Not to mention the exchange rate, according to the current private market situation, the monthly salary of island people is also dozens of times that of Chinese people.
Although the specific number is unknown, even if Jiang Yulou's "Love Letter" is not counted, it is easy to sell it for hundreds of thousands of yen!
Hundreds of thousands of yen, a figure they couldn't have imagined.
What's more, they don't believe that hundreds of thousands of yen can send him away. This kid is better at money than a monkey, and it's too hard to take advantage of him.
After such an analysis, everyone was silent.
Although these gangs are all college students except for Wang Shuo, it stands to reason that they should not be jealous, but in the face of wealth that may not be earned in a lifetime, they are still a little envious and jealous.
"Come on, come on, don't just talk and don't eat food, this table is not cheap." Jiang Yulou looked distressed, which made everyone laugh.
Distressed?
It's right to be distressed, eat poor you!
As a result, everyone turned envy, jealousy and hatred into appetite and frantically showed off their meals. Among them, Wang Shuo, the kid, eats the most.
