Another World Under My Pen

"The Lion King", one of Disney's classic animated films.

On the earth, for a long period of time, "The Lion King" released in 1994 was the pinnacle of animated films. Until 2010, no anime could match it at the box office. Even after 2010, there were seven animations that exceeded the box office of "The Lion King" in seven years, but the highest box office of "Frozen" was only $300 million more than "The Lion King"!

If inflation is taken into consideration, "The Lion King" is actually the first in history.

Therefore, Sun Peng reviewed the draft of the picture book that Chen Ruoyi brought with him very carefully, and he was unwilling to let go of any flaws-even if he had sent the manuscript back three times before, this time he still won't take it lightly.

It took Sun Peng two full hours to finish reading five picture books.

It was still a set of four detailed editions and one set of simple editions. This modification made Sun Peng very satisfied. He immediately said happily: "Very good, very good, a great set of picture books! To tell the truth , This time what you did is much better than the original "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"!"

"Hehe, everyone is improving!"

Chen Ruoyi, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, her face turned into a flower.

This old teacher is really getting higher and higher.

In fact, as early as May, Chen Ruoyi had completed the picture book, but Sun Peng picked out a lot of problems at a glance. He changed from left to right and was dissatisfied. After three consecutive withdrawals, Chen Ruoyi's face was almost green. ——She won't get the final payment unless the draft is finalized, and several assistants are waiting for the final bonus!

If it hadn't been for helping to make the setting of "Frozen" and making some money, I am afraid that she would not be able to turn around.

"No problem, so be it!"

Carefully put away the picture book and the USB flash drive, Sun Peng smiled and nodded: "I will ask the accountant to call you the balance... In addition, you will also have royalties in the later period, so when you signed the contract with the publishing house, he came to sign. I won’t go through the middle of writing!"

"Okay, thank you, thank you Teacher Sun!"

Chen Ruoyi immediately got excited, stood up and repeatedly thanked her.

It has been more than two years since the earliest "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". According to the figures provided by Sun Peng in the last chat, the total sales of this set of picture books have exceeded 1.2 million sets, and more than 400,000 sets have been sold overseas alone! But this is still the lowest sales among all picture books. The sales volume of "Frozen", which is popular with girls, has reached 1.6 million sets. Because "Mulan" is China’s own story, it is sold in China alone. More than one hundred thousand sets!

Such a number is really attractive.

And what Chen Ruoyi knows more clearly is that now "Sunflower Story Collection" has formed a brand, and the three sets of picture books are of high quality and scary, so what about "The Lion King" that she thinks is no worse than those few?

If nothing else, sales will not be much lower!

What's more, picture books are not a one-shot deal, and no one cares about them after two or three years. Look at those classic works that have been selling well for decades, don't they still appear on the top selling list every year? So as long as it is published under the name of Chen Ruoyi, it means that she can share the royalties for a lifetime, and even her offspring can continue to use it for decades after death...

So before leaving, Chen Ruoyi couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Sun, then...what shall we do next?"

"Next?"

For a moment, Sun Peng let out a smile and said, "This...I'm really embarrassed. I have been so busy recently that I have dizzy! I haven't really thought about what to do next. How about giving me a while?"

"Huh? Of course, you can give it to me anytime!"

Unexpectedly, Sun Peng would be so polite, Chen Ruoyi hurriedly waved his hand and said anxiously.

"Haha, don't worry, it won't be too late!"

After thinking for a while, Sun Peng said with a smile: "I'm currently working on the late stage of the film. It is estimated that it will take another month... Let's go, October! When we wait until October, let's discuss the next set of picture books. It won't be too late..."

……
"If there is no problem, sign the contract next week!"

After hearing the news in the afternoon, Sun Ya casually flipped through the picture books of "The Lion King", and then carefully put them away: "If the conditions are met, it will definitely be slightly higher than "Mulan", after all, more than a year. The results are so good that Sunflowers absolutely cannot refuse. But wanting to exceed fifteen points is definitely no use...Who told you to have no books lately?"

"Uh... fifteen points would be great, great!"

Seeing the second sister's look of contempt, Sun Peng scratched his head awkwardly.

Sun Peng doesn’t have high requirements for royalties. He has never expected to make a fortune from royalties anyway. The focus is on future film adaptations and peripheral income... Of course, this kind of vision for the future has to wait. Let's talk about it after the movie "Frozen" comes out.

and……

Two years ago, Sun Peng was really awesome. A Heavenly Dragon and a Deer and Ding Ji swept across the rivers and lakes, and almost won the top throne of Shuxiang Chinese.com! Later, "Peerless Twins" was even more profitable because of the animation bonus. In a short period of time, the sales even surpassed the Tianlong and Shendiao, and doubled the money that the animation paid back...

Speaking of Shuangjiao’s animation, it’s still a loss of ten million!

If there is no special propaganda method in the follow-up, I am afraid this cartoon will really be like the brother Chen Muchen said. It will take a few years to slowly recover the investment, and then calculate an account of inflation and capital occupation. ......It's a big loss!

If it weren't for "Slam Dunk" to make a lot of money, DreamWorks really couldn't live.

But after two years, Jiangshan has already produced talents!

Today, Shuxiang Chinese.com is still the master of the online literature world, but the martial arts novel section is no longer the time when Lao Bai thrived two years ago. As he withdrew from scholarship, tens of thousands of martial arts novels have appeared in the past two years. Excluding those by eunuchs and nonsense, there are more than 600 books on the shelves of Zhengerbajing, among which many good authors have emerged. .

The most powerful ones are the masters who have collected over a million!

Of course, because six sets of novels are still hanging on the top of the book, no one can shake the status of the pen name of Lao Bai in the field of martial arts novels, as evidenced by the hundreds of thousands or even millions of contributions per month. But inevitably, many people are questioning whether Lao Bai gave up the Internet because of Jiang Lang's exhaustion, because he hasn't seen him publish a new book for more than a year, regardless of the Internet or the entity...

Sun Ya didn't say much, and soon changed the subject: "By the way, is the new book you wrote this time still published on the Internet?"

"Network? No, go directly to the entity!"

Thinking of the pitiful length of the new book, Sun Peng was a headache.

If the new book can have a million words, then he has to take back everything he said before and post it on the Internet. After all, the Internet has the lowest cost and the easiest place to attract fans. But if the space is too short, it would be uneconomical to put it online-there are also certain limitations in attracting fans.

So after deliberation, it is better to go directly to the entity!

Sun Ya was not surprised by this, and then casually asked: "What about the time? Always give me a specific time, right? I'll say hello to Renjia Shuxiang Publishing House in advance... By the way, you have no plans this time. Change the publishing house?"

"Of course, why change?"

After blinking his eyes, Sun Peng smiled and shook his head and said: "People are so strong in scholarship, and the royalties are not low, and the key is that my martial arts novels are always published there. What if people don't recognize it if I change places. ......Ahem, in September, I will give you the manuscript by the end of September at the latest!"

After finishing the later stage of "Longmen Inn", the new book is ready.

"What about royalties? How about the contract period? Are there any specific requirements?"

Taking out a small notebook and a pen, Sun Ya carefully took notes while asking questions.

After thinking about it, Sun Peng waved his hand and said: "As long as the royalty is not lower than before, as for the age limit... you can calculate it here. It is best to expire at the same time as the previous sets of books. That is the best..."

The two talked about a lot of things, and Sun Ya didn't stand up until the sky was getting dark.

"Sister, won't you stay for dinner tonight? Jia Jia bought a lot of dishes!"

No, there's still business tonight. "

Shaking his hand, Sun Ya shook his head tiredly.

Seeing the second sister's unsightly expression, Sun Peng was also a little distressed. He hesitated for a while and simply said, "Sister, don't go to these trivial things in person... Well, I usually need an assistant to help me anyway. Take care of the chores, or you can find one for me... a man, preferably a man!"
