I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 86 I don't create stories, I'm just a porter of stories!
"Ding--"
"Cheers!"
In the study, after sending away the people from Random House Publishing House, Arthur, Emilia, butler Paul, and Tom opened a bottle of champagne and toasted to celebrate.
"Congratulations, dear, another novel is about to be published!"
Wearing a black sweater and a black leather jacket, paired with black straight pants and black leather shoes, wearing a black suit, she looks more and more slender. Emilia is holding Arthur's arm intimately and naturally, raising her sweet smiling face. Congratulations and stared at Arthur.
"Haha, thank you." Arthur smiled happily. Indeed, his inner joy is beyond the comprehension of others. He once again credited one and a half million dollars with a sense of security.
"I really didn't expect that writing novels can really make money like this..."
Emilia's next sentence made the people in the study laugh lightly. As a veteran in the publishing industry, Tom took a sip of champagne and said with a smile.
“Generally speaking, best-selling authors in the United Kingdom and the United States can live well on royalties alone, and occasionally go to university to give lectures or write columns in order not to leave the scene of life, in order to always maintain a young and energetic state.
However, living on royalties is only the treatment of famous and best-selling authors.For ordinary writers, other channels are needed to make a living, such as teaching in university, writing radio manuscripts for radio, or writing infamous detective novels.
In fact, it is very difficult for writers in some European countries to make a living.
Although Swiss writers are respected, they cannot make money by selling books due to their small population, so most of them work part-time as translators and teachers.The Portuguese writers have the highest suicide rate because few of their works are bought to read or even poor.The slogan of Belgian writers is that you cannot stay in the country, you must go to France to develop..."
Hearing Tom's introduction, Emilia picked up the eyebrows that were totally Jing Jing, looked at her boyfriend and smiled: "My dear, I wish you a great seller of novels and become the best-selling novel writer!"
"No problem, it will be a big hit, I have this confidence." Arthur smiled confidently, but a sentence in Tom's previous words reminded him of one thing.
"Boss, you should consider finding two agents, one in the UK and one in the United States. It won't work without an agent staring at the publishing house." Tom timely suggested.
Although the publishing industry in the West is very mature and regulated, and piracy is rare, writers also need to have an agent to strictly supervise the publishing situation to protect their legitimate income.After all, a large amount of money is involved, and there is no supervision, leaving loopholes, and problems will definitely arise.
"Well, this matter is left to you. I believe you should have a lot of choices. Help me find two honest and reliable ones. You don't need to be too famous." Arthur nodded and said.
"Good boss, I will send you the information of the selected candidates." Since Tom made this suggestion, he also guessed that this task would fall on him. Fortunately, he is an old man in the British publishing industry and a writer's agent. I often deal with and know many brokers, so it is not difficult.
However, it is a pity for Tom that the novel "Fifty Shades of Gray" did not remain in his own publishing house. For this kind of novel that is already well-known and has a wide readership, it is completely profitable. .
"It's a pity, if it can be completely published and sold by Bolin Publishing, the publishing house is really likely to grow and grow again..."
"Haha, didn't you leave the British publishing rights? You have to admit that the gap between us and a multinational publishing group such as Random House, and their sales channels are beyond our reach. First, do a good job in local operations. Right.
Besides, with me, what can you worry about, the most important thing is here..."
As he said, Arthur smiled and pointed his finger at his head, and said confidently: "As long as this is not exhausted, new works will be created constantly, and there are opportunities."
"Boss, do you have new inspiration again?" As a smart man, Tom immediately heard the hidden content of his young boss's words, stared at Arthur with bright eyes, and asked eagerly with joy.
This question also caused Emilia and Paul the housekeeper to look at Arthur, who was still smiling, in a bit of amazement, waiting for his answer.
"I do have some thoughts. It was only after hearing your previous talk about writing infamous detective novels. The third novel, I am going to try and write detective novels." Arthur said with a smile and squinted his eyes.
Upon hearing this answer, Tom, Emilia, including the butler Paul, who admired the talent of the earl very much, were a little surprised. They all knew that horror and detective novels were the best themes in best-selling novels.
But it is also the subject that requires the highest level of writers. It not only requires a profound writing skills, but also a fascinating insight. It is really not a subject that an average writer can write.
"Detective novels are indeed a popular subject. I look forward to your new works, boss."
Although this is the case, Tom naturally does not show the attitude of questioning his boss. After all, the boss's two unfinished novels were sold for good prices. This is also the case before. He didn't believe in killing him. He was 21 years old. The heir of the dead Bo Linjue can write novels.
However, facts speak louder than words, and with tangible results, no one can question what miracle the young Lord Earl can create again.
"Hehe, you will see it, but I have to finish writing the two previous novels first. Hey, speaking of it, I really have a headache." Arthur doesn't care what everyone thinks, who is he better than All know how many things are in my mind.
Apart from other things, those American dramas that I have seen in previous lives, what basic interpretations, and what Charlotte, although they are all born out of Sherlock Holmes novels, are also very innovative, besides, they are not the one that has been watched for more than ten years. Are the rich cases of the Reaper elementary school students who will never grow up as a reserve?
Therefore, for Arthur, it is easier to write detective novels, mainly because there are plenty of cases to learn from, or just copy directly.
As the protagonist of a traversal copywriter, there must be a kind of ideological realm and consciousness that we do not create stories, we are only porters of stories, to succeed, and to travel in vain!
"Okay, my dear, I won't disturb your work anymore, boo—"
When Tom left, Emilia was sitting in Arthur's arms in the study. The two of them drank a few glasses of champagne together. At the same time, QING couldn't help but drank each other for a long time.
The pretty face was reddened and her eyes turned a little blurred. Emilia immediately braked on the edge of the war that was likely to provoke the war. The two foreheads pressed against each other. Emilia kissed Arthur on the cheek and broke free. Arthur's embrace.
Seeing the petite and exquisite Emilia finishing her clothes, she gave him a charmingly white look, and quickly walked out of the back of the study. Arthur couldn't help but shook his head and smashed his mouth a few times, smelling himself with unsatisfactory meaning. The palm of the hand, if there is no N fragrance, makes people intoxicated.
Stand up from the sofa, take a few deep breaths, suppress the flame in your heart, let your demigod magic weapon cease, walk to the desk, take out a cigar from the wooden box, light it, sit on the boss chair, mouse Double-click the document to start brewing.
