Chapter 19 Planned Piracy Directions
It has been more than half a year since we arrived in this parallel time and space, and the life of Kim Hyun-tae and his daughter in this half year can be said to be unstable.
But now, Kim Hyun-tae has entered the first step of a stable life and has begun to live a peaceful and leisurely life.
After moving to his new home, in the first few days, he kept buying some daily necessities from the supermarket and returning to store food.
It took about two days before he ended this kind of life and began to devote himself to the great cause of piracy.
My daughter is eight months old in this time and space, and she has grown teeth again. At the same time, she starts crawling all over the ground again, which makes Kim Hyun-tae slightly free her hands and no longer has to hold or carry the little guy on her back at all times.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae's personal time has increased, so he can make full use of it.
And although his daughter crawled around, she would not do any dangerous things, so Kim Hyun-tae didn't have to worry about her daughter at all, and she could focus all her energy on her piracy career.
That cheap second-hand laptop has been abandoned by Kim Hyun-tae and replaced with a brand new computer with more powerful functions and faster and better running speed.
Due to the monthly payment of the rent and the other party has not collected a deposit, Kim Hyun-tae has a lot of cash in hand, which can fully meet his small material needs.
Dave's side of California Culture Press also notified Kim Hyun-tae two days later that the novel will be published and launched in two days. This fast speed makes Kim Hyun-tae very shocked.
But Kim Hyun-tae was still happy about this. After all, the novel was launched one day earlier, so I could get the royalty share one day earlier.
Dave told him that there is no need to worry about the novel. The publisher will deal with all promotion-related matters. What Kim Hyun-tae has to do is stay at home and wait for news, and wait for the royalty share one month after the novel starts to be sold.
Kim Hyun-tae was happy to accept this arrangement, so he simply stopped considering the issue of novel publication. It would be nice to leave it to Dave for all of it.
On this day, the hot sunshine continued to emit heat, bringing high temperatures to the entire Los Angeles area. Kim Hyun-tae was doing her own pirated business in the back garden, and her daughter Koko was having fun in the inflatable swimming pool that Kim Hyun-tae bought.
The little guy seemed to like playing with water very much. The arrogant Kim Hyun-tae bought an inflatable swimming pool. After storing water in it, the little guy immediately started playing with it with joy.
The water temperature in the inflatable swimming pool is not low, especially Kim Hyun-tae has been empty for a long time, and the temperature is very high during the day, so he is not worried that his daughter will catch a cold when she plays with water.
Moreover, he didn't store too much water in the inflatable swimming pool, and he only reached the position of his daughter Coco's belly when she sat down.
My daughter was having fun and didn't care about herself at all, so Kim Hyun-tae was able to spare some time to do her piracy without any disturbances.
His fingers flew and tapped on the keyboard of the laptop, and English characters were quickly tapped into the open document.
Look at the name of that document, it actually is "Lord of the Rings".
Yes, since you want to pirate the copies, Kim Hyun-tae must choose some books that will sell well, for example, "Lord of the Rings" is a good choice for pirated versions.
Even after Kim Hyun-tae decided to pirate "The Lord of the Rings", he would continue to pirate books such as "Harry Potter", "Twilight" and "The Hobbit", and could also produce novels from film and television dramas.
At the same time, while he was thinking about pirating these novels, he registered the American West Coast Screenwriters Guild through the Internet in this time and space, and made all the scripts of these novels and put them on it.
In addition to the scripts of these novels, Kim Hyun-tae will also make some movie scripts that can make several episodes of sequels on it.
For example, "Spy Shadows", "Hurricane Rescue", "Resident Evil", "Transformers", etc., Kim Hyun-tae is too lazy to pirate any sequel that cannot be filmed.
Thanks to the influence of the mysterious energy substances in the time and space tunnel, Kim Hyun-tae now has a good memory and can recall these movies, including novels, clearly and in detail.
And because of his intellectual growth, he now learns any knowledge very quickly and can be absorbed in a short period of time, so it is no problem for him to write in English at all.
Even his current Spanish, French and Italian have been proficient in reading, writing and communication from scratch in the past six months, and he has also started self-study in Japanese, Russian, German and other languages, and has achieved some results.
But the changes in language learning ability are not the most conspicuous, and the most eye-catching is Kim Hyun-tae's ability to quickly learn and absorb any knowledge, which is the most perverted one.
Unfortunately, Kim Hyun-tae now puts this ability and advantage in pirated novels, and selectively ignores this point, which makes people sigh a little.
Kim Hyun-tae is typing very quickly, and can reach as many as 12,000 words per hour. There is no pause in the middle. Apart from hearing the sound of him typing on the keyboard, you can't hear any other sounds when you stand beside him.
Kim Hyun-tae also has a good plan for his daily time.
In the morning, he used it to pirate novels, in the afternoon, he used it to pirate scripts, and at night he would spend time playing with his daughter so that his daughter would not feel lonely because of his own reasons.
In this way, as time passed day by day, Kim Hyun-tae quickly completed one pirated novel and script after another. In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and it was early September in summer.
In this half month, Kim Hyun-tae completed the pirated version of "The Lord of the Rings", and "The Hobbit" was pirated by more than half.
Anne, who is far away in New York, uses a hidden monitor to fully understand what Kim Hyun-tae's life has been like in the past half month.
"This guy just writes every day. Don't he know how to do something else?" After half a month, he saw Kim Hyun-tae keep writing on the computer every day. Annie couldn't help but complain about it in her heart.
Nowadays, for Anne, in addition to dealing with bank business every day and various corporate matters she controls, watching the boy's daily life through a monitor is her greatest pleasure.
Of course, this kind of behavior is not worthy of advocacy, after all, this is very wrong.
But Annie doesn't care at all, who made her rich and willful?
The housekeeper Nord was not here at this time, so he went out to deal with other things, so Anne was the only one who stayed in the empty luxury apartment.
Of course, the dozens of bodyguards at the door and the maids in the apartment were not included.
Annie withdrew her gaze from the computer screen. She just happened to have some of the documents at hand. She was free now, so she thought about picking up the black wired phone next to her desk and dialed it out.
Soon, the phone was connected.
"I'm Anne Wheaton, I want to ask what the sales of the novel "Song of Ice and Fire" is now?"
It turned out that Anne called Dave's private cell phone.
Dave on the other end of the phone had a dull expression on his face, which showed that he had never expected that a "big figure" like Anne actually called him personally to ask the author's novel sales.
However, Dave had no time to think about it and quickly responded: "Oh, Miss Anne, you need to ask about this little thing yourself. The sales of "Song of Ice and Fire" is not bad. So far, 800,000 copies have been sold, and the sales are still steadily increasing. The publisher expects that the sales of this month can exceed 1.5 million copies... "
Only 150 volumes?
When Anne heard Dave say this, her golden brow frowned, obviously she was a little unsatisfied with this data.
She privately asked the butler Nord to buy the novel "Song of Ice and Fire". Although Kim Hyun-tae only handed over three volumes of manuscripts, and Dave only published one volume, the second and third volumes have not been sold for sale.
But after reading the first volume, Anne herself was attracted by the magnificent fantasy world and the conspiracy and tricks of intrigue.
So, in Annie's mind, the sales of this novel should be even more popular.
"Is the promotion efforts of the publishing house insufficient? I also bought a book of this novel and read it. It is still very exciting and attractive. In theory, sales should be better. Why is this a little bit?"
Dave grinned, and he felt a little unquestioned about Anne's words that seemed to be questioning.
However, even though he thought so in his heart, he could not answer Anne like this.
"Miss Anne, such data is already a big seller. After all, publishing is very different from other businesses. As a new author's first novel, it is already very gratifying to sell 800,000 copies of such data in half a month.
And this data will gradually increase. After all, readers who bought novels will form a good reputation publicity circle after reading it, and through their word of mouth, and as the sales time of novels increases, explosive sales will appear.
Dave used simple and clear language as much as possible so that Anne could understand what the data meant.
To be honest, the publisher has done its best to promote it.
However, no matter how Jin Hyun-tae promotes it, he cannot get rid of the fact that he is a new author. Therefore, no matter how powerful the publication and promotion of the publisher is, consumers will need some time to recognize it.
Of course, the content of "Song of Ice and Fire" is very exciting, so sales in the future are in explosive state, so Dave is still very confident about this.
"Well, I don't know much about the operation of publishing books. Just do it as you want. I don't think I can give some advice randomly, disrupting your plans."
Anne said to Dave on the other side of the phone very well.
After asking Dave about this casually, Anne was about to end the call, but before she put down the phone, she suddenly thought of something, so she put the phone on her lips and told Dell: "By the way, you remember to find a lawyer and an accountant for the boy, and you will have to pay the copyright fee in a month. If he forgets to file taxes, this is not a good thing. You have to think about it for him."
