29: Copyright Recovery
Yan Zi's high school entrance examination made Qin He's originally anxious heart even more difficult to calm down.
Because Yan Zi had a little cold these two days, Qin He was worried that it would affect his test scores, so he was also a little anxious.
Fortunately, after the exam, Yan Zi said that she performed well, which made Qin He feel relieved.
On the day when the results were announced, Qin He simply took a long break and took Yanzi to school.
When Qin He saw the results, his long-lasting heart finally felt relieved. Yan Zi relied on the county key high school with the second grade in the class and fourth grade in the school. Qin He was also deeply relieved when he looked at Yan Zi crying with joy.
After long efforts, Qin He finally saw the reward. He was happy for this thin girl, and he was sincerely happy for the swallow.
Although he is from another world, his heart is fleshy. After more than half a year of getting along with him, Qin He seemed to agree that he has such a sensible sister.
Before Qin He was happy, he was discovered by Principal Yuan and hurriedly pulled him into the office.
Principal Yuan smiled happily and took out a magazine from the bookshelf. Qin He took it and saw it. It was the latest issue of Reader Magazine.
When Qin He saw this magazine, he suddenly thought of something. When he opened it, he found that the article he wrote to Principal Yuan was published in the Reader's Magazine.
And the author of the article "Mom, hug me again" reads Yuan Zhiguo and Qin He carefully read the article, and it was indeed the one he wrote.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Principal Yuan, finally fulfilled his dream of an author! How about it, are there any high-quality works recently? Do I want me to moisten my pen?"
Qin He was originally talking like a joke, but unexpectedly, the bald Principal Yuan looked shy and took out a stack of manuscripts from the drawer and said.
"Oh, Kobayashi, you've spoken, I'm embarrassed. Look at it, there are ten articles, and you can see which ones can help you with the pen. Don't worry, the price will not be less than you!"
Qin He:…!
Sure enough, the bottom line is used to break through.
Qin He finally chose two articles that looked a little bit more. It took him almost three hours to work hard to write two manuscripts. It was much more difficult to moisten others than to write a manuscript by himself.
The reason why Principal Yuan changed so quickly was that the article Qin He wrote to him was reprinted by the Municipal Daily, and he was also praised by the Education Bureau, which naturally lowered Principal Yuan's bottom line again.
At noon, Principal Yuan was in the canteen and Yan Zi benefited from it. Qin He was not polite. Not only did he accept Principal Yuan for 500 yuan, he also had a big meal. The cooperation relationship between the two became stronger.
Yan Zi was admitted to a county high school and had to go to the county town to study. Fortunately, she lived in the school. Now Qin He also has capital. Yan Zi's treatment is no worse than that of any student in the school. On weekends, Qin He would ride a motorcycle to the county town to pick her up home.
Because of the computer, and the children have to walk ten kilometers back and forth to school every day, Qin He simply rented a house in the town, allowing the children to live in, and avoided running back and forth every day. Qin He also planted the land and soil at home for his third uncle, but he couldn't farm anyway.
The family conditions are better, but Qin He still attaches great importance to the children's learning. The learning atmosphere at home is still maintained every day. With enough time to study and a good diet, the children have grown a lot taller in the past six months. In addition to improving academic performance, several children are also much more confident.
With the computer, Qin He felt that he had finally returned to the formality. By copying, he could code up to 60,000 to 70,000 words every day, and he still had time to get the magazine manuscripts done. Sure enough, as an author, it would be really easy if he only needed to copy.
The second part of the Three-Body Problem, Qin He has made few modifications. Except for the addition of the character description, the other parts are basically copied. The three-Body Problem trilogy has only about 900,000 words added. The first part has been published for 200,000 words, and the second and third parts have only 700,000 words added. Qin He completed the second and third parts in mid-August.
After sorting it out, Qin He once again contacted Lao Cui about publishing.
However, this time Lao Cui agreed not so happy. After all, it has been more than half a year of cooperation, so Lao Cui did not hide it from Qin He and told the reason.
The reason is naturally that the sales volume of this book is too poor, with 3,000 copies. Even if it is sold together, there is still a little left and has not been sold out. It has been two months since the publication of the bookmakers, and there is no feedback at all.
After Lao Cui talked for a long time, Qin He understood it, that is, publishing the Three-Body Problem for you, so that they won’t make money.
Qin He knew that the book Three-Body Problem would eventually become a classic, but he never expected that after the first one was published, the sales volume was so poor, perhaps because the circulation was too small, only 3,000 copies. This way, even if real readers liked it, it would be useless and would not cause any major ups and would not cause any disturbances.
After all, I have been working together for so long, and Lao Cui vaguely pointed out a way for Qin He on the phone, which is to try to write some novels similar to Zhiyin style, so that everyone can make money by then.
But Qin He thought about it and finally rejected Lao Cui's proposal. He didn't have much time, so it was too much to write his messy novels such as love and revenge.
But it has been written and cannot be published. Judging from the relationship between the two, Lao Cui still introduced several booksellers to Qin He to see if there are any booksellers who specialize in publishing them to see if Qin He's Three-Body Novel.
Qin He gritted his teeth and agreed. Qin He decided to follow his own ideas. In the second novel, he finally chose the book "What's in the Ming Dynasty".
The science fiction book itself has little audience in China. When Liu could finish writing the Three-Body Problem, the most important thing was that it was published in the Science Fiction World Magazine.
But even so, the sales volume of Liu's Three-Body Series has not been high. It was not until 2009 that the copyright of Three-Body was sold at an extremely low price, and the price was so low that it was even rumored to be only 100,000 yuan.
It was 2009, and the copyright of the Three-Body is sold for 100,000 yuan. You can imagine how embarrassing this book has. This book became popular and was translated abroad. Gradually, many celebrities fell in love with this book, which made its reputation soar. Finally, because of a wandering earth, this book became a god.
Therefore, Qin He never thought of making a lot of money from the beginning to the end. He just hoped to leave the copyright of this book to the children. Only when the book became popular would this copyright be truly valuable.
Since no one values it now, let’s write down the things in the Ming Dynasty first!
Lao Cui was quite responsible. Not long after, a bookseller called Qin He to inquire about the situation of the Three-Body Book.
Qin He also sent a sample manuscript. As a result, in October, he met with three consecutive booksellers, but the book was not published.
The best bookmaker's condition is to try publishing two thousand copies, and the copyright issue can basically be agreed at a free price.
Qin He naturally refused.
Since this is the case, Qin He had to give up publishing first, and he took the initiative to propose to Lao Cui to take back the copyright of the first part of the Three-Body Problem.
Old Cui agreed happily, and Qin He finally paid 20,000 yuan to get the copyright back.
The trilogy finally came back to my hands.
It was already mid-October, and the first and second parts of "Things in the Ming Dynasty" have been completed.
Chapter completed!
