Chapter 31: National Novel Sales Chart

Dave was shocked by Kim Hyun-tae's high productivity, but he had to put aside his mind and read this fairy tale manuscript carefully to see if it could be published and bring benefits.

"Song of Ice and Fire" written by Kim Hyun-tae, and the first volume of "Lord of the Rings" that he just gave him are both good and good works that can be published and sold. However, these two novels are both magical works, just like Kim Hyun-tae's novels written by magical themes, and they are still very skilled.

But now he actually crossed the border and created a fairy tale, which is simply crazy.

At least, that's what Dave thinks.

You said you just wrote your magic novels well, why do you write fairy tales? This is simply a waste of your own brain cells and your own time.

But I still have to take a closer look, otherwise... Well, it seems that the writing is pretty good, and they are all very novel short stories.

Dave, who was originally thinking about it in his heart, suddenly extinguished those little thoughts and became focused after looking through the manuscript.

Kim Hyun-tae smiled knowingly when he saw Dave's expression. He knew clearly that Dave was attracted by the story.

At this moment, Dave kept flashing his childhood scenes and the stories his mother told him.

As an indigenous person in this time and space, Dave is of course aware of fairy tales in this world. Even those strange stories have influenced his entire childhood and left a huge shadow.

He clearly remembered that he was very naughty when he was a child. Whenever he was naughty, his mother would use the story of "a wild boar monster that ate children" to scare him. His mother also focused on despising the whole process of how the disobedient child was eaten by wild boar monster.

Even when I think about it now, Dave will have a cold war.

But in all Kim Hyun-tae's fairy tales, you can't see such content, let alone descriptions of blood.

And every story also has some metaphors and teachings in it, and it is easy to understand.

This fairy tale is not only suitable for children, but also for adults.

Even when Dave looked through the manuscript, he found that each short story was accompanied by some hand-drawn drawings mixed in it. According to the scene description in the painting, it obviously echoed the current story.

Not only the text, but also the pictures, this young man Kim Hyun-tae is really a genius!

Dave is almost certain that if such a fairy tale cannot be sold out, he can cut off his head.

"A very good fairy tale, you thought of these yourself?"

Dave sat upright, gently placed the manuscript on the coffee table in front of him, and then asked as usual.

In fact, this question is just a confirmation. It is guaranteed that it was created by Kim Hyun-tae himself, and Kim Hyun-tae himself needs to have a verbal guarantee.

In fact, Dave did this simply by doing it, because in this time and space, the fairy tale "created" by Kim Hyun-tae does not exist at all, so Dave doesn't have to worry about something going on.

But Dave didn't know these things, so he asked this question.

Although his face was a little hot, Kim Hyun-tae nodded and responded: "Yes, all of them are created independently by myself, and there will be no copyright issues. Then Mr. Dave, this fairy tale..."

Kim Hyun-tae admitted that he was "creating" independently, but he was very shy in his heart because he knew very well that this was a fairy tale he had pirated and was not a work he created independently at all.

But as long as he doesn't say it, no one will know whether it is right. Besides, he took another work from time and space to this time and space, and he is the only one in the world who can do this.

Therefore, he said that he was "creating" independently, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"It can be published, and I guess the sales will not be too bad. Your fairy tale is not only accessible to children, but also for adults. It can be said that it is a work suitable for both young and old."

Dave told the truth, there was no concealment.

After hearing Dave's words, Kim Hyun-tae knew about fairy tales. He had basically settled down and he didn't have to worry about anything.

Originally, Kim Hyun-tae was worried that in this parallel time and space, the fairy tale he pirated would be unacceptable to the local environment, but now it seems that his worries are simply redundant.

Good things, good things everywhere you go.

"Then I will give all this fairy tale and the first volume of "Lord of the Rings" to the publisher for publishing and selling. I'm really troubled you by publishing two books this time."

Kim Hyun-tae was very polite.

Dave waved his hand: "Don't say such polite words, it's just to publish two books at the same time, which is not a big deal. For our publishing house, this is not even considered anything."

Indeed, it is not difficult for a large bookmaker like California Culture Publishing House to publish two novels at the same time.

Even if dozens of novels are published at the same time, it is not impossible.

Since Kim Hyun-tae can hand over "Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tale" to the publisher, and Dave is willing to publish on behalf of the agency, the next thing is much simpler.

After reading the contract, Kim Hyun-tae had no objection. Then both parties found lawyers and successfully signed a formal publication share agreement.

When everything is done, what Kim Hyun-tae has to do is to stay home or continue his piracy, and then get the money at the right time.

Look, how simple it is.

The publishing agreement was formulated based on the contract of "Song of Ice and Fire". California Press only took away the English version of "Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tale" and the US sales agency for paper books.

The remaining rights, such as film and television adaptation, cartoon adaptation, foreign language publishing, etc., are still retained in the hands of Kim Hyun-tae himself. It can be said that the agreement is very generous.

Even the share of Kim Hyun-tae was increased to 20%.

Kim Hyun-tae is very satisfied with all this, and it is impossible for him to be dissatisfied with anything else to pick on.

The share agreement contract he signed was much better than 99% of the authors, and the treatment he enjoyed was even more extraordinary.

Therefore, what else can he pick on?

"I will print the manuscript into a book as soon as possible and put it on sale in a short time. All this will be completed within a week, ensuring that you can get your first royalty before Christmas Eve."

After the contract was signed, Dave patted Kim Hyun-tae and promised that he would use the fastest speed to prepare the listing and sales of "Lord of the Rings" and "William's Fairy Tale", so that Kim Hyun-tae could get the money in a short time as much as possible.

Kim Hyun-tae can trust Dave's promise.

After all, there is a printing factory under the publishing house. Dave called him and could start printing there.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you something. You have now entered the 2015 list of best-selling novel authors in the United States. Although the ranking is very low, it also shows that your "Song of Ice and Fire" has a very considerable sales prospect."

List of best-selling novel authors in the United States?

When Kim Hyun-tae was about to say goodbye and leave, Dave suddenly raised his hand and patted his forehead, telling Kim Hyun-tae something he almost forgot about.

To be honest, if Dave hadn't told him, Kim Hyun-tae wouldn't have known that he had actually made it to this list.

Although it is not clear what this list is for, it seems to be very powerful when Dave said that.

"Oh, is that?"

Because he didn't understand this list, Kim Hyun-tae's reaction was a little light.

"Oh my god! Why did you guy react?" Seeing Kim Hyun-tae's faint reaction, Dave looked amused and laughed and raised his hand and pointed at him.

"I think you don't know what this list is, right?" Dave asked last.

Kim Hyun-tae nodded, saying that he really didn't know the list.

Finally, Dave had to explain Kim Hyun-tae a little bit, which made Kim Hyun-tae clearly understand how much influence this list is.

The best-selling novel sales list in the United States, as the name suggests, are all novels sold very well back then.

But it does not mean that the sales reach a certain amount, so that they can be on the list. Instead, they need to be carefully selected by the novel reviewers and select some of the most storytelling and the best content with the most demanding and picky eyes to be on the list.

Therefore, this has led to some novels that have big flaws in the story and have bad content, and they are simply not interested in this list.

But one consequence of doing this also leads to the fact that every novel on the list will be very popular later because of this kind of guarantee.

Basically, whether the novel is good or not, whether it has great sales potential in the future, can clearly explain the problem.

So Kim Hyun-tae's "Song of Ice and Fire" was on the list, and even if it was not ranked high, it was enough to make Dave very happy.

At least this shows that "Song of Ice and Fire" has good sales potential in the future and can continue to sell well.

Besides, it was already September when Kim Hyun-tae's "Song of Ice and Fire" started to be sold, and it has only been less than two months since it started to be sold.

It is also a very honorable thing to be selected into the 2015 American novel bestselling list in just less than two months.

If "Song of Ice and Fire" continues to sell well, it will not be difficult to reach the best-selling list next year.

But no matter what, in this time and space, no one in the United States who write novels does not want their novels to be on this best-selling list.

In addition to bringing yourself a reputation, you can also provide a predictive guarantee for your income.

Since no novel that has been on the best-selling list has ever been sold unsatisfactory, many people have used this list as a touchstone.
