Because the moment he heard about it from Zheng Jia and Sun Ya, he knew that his efforts were not in vain, and he had really adapted a good little wizard.
This kind of satisfaction is definitely not comparable to the previous books that were simply rewritten and moved.
So in addition to eating more than usual, Sun Peng also opened a bottle of wine and took his second sister to have a drink. After finishing the meal, Sun Peng said with a smile: "I have written the manuscript of the novel.
It has been sent to two publishing houses a long time ago. Nimbus' side should be faster. It is said that everything can be fully prepared for publication in twenty days at the fastest. However, even if Seal's side speeds up the translation, it will still take half a year.
Yue...you know, they don't dare to be careless with this kind of book."
"Well, that's understandable."
Sun Peng smiled and nodded. Sun Peng was not surprised.
He has only read the original version of Harry Potter in Chinese, and based on his English proficiency in two lifetimes, it is no problem to have ordinary conversations, but it is nonsense to write a book. So including the one he gave to Heymens a few days ago
The script of "Night at the Museum" was also translated overnight.
However, the script can be translated slowly and carefully, but the novel must be strictly controlled before it is published.
Even if it is a Chinese version for Nimbus Press, no matter how anxious they are, they still have to find several editors to work at the same time to find out the wrong sentences and typos in the manuscript, and also add some illustrations, etc., which all takes time
.Twenty days to prepare everything. Only big-name writers can get such treatment.
Not to mention that the first printing quantity this time has increased by 50% compared to the previous fourth volume, even if Nimbus assigned the task to several printing plants, including printing, cutting, binding, laminating, shipping, and transportation
And warehousing and other work, if you don't have twenty or thirty days, you can't even think about it.
The plot in the novel, where you can reprint it on the same day and continue selling it tomorrow, is simply a joke.
For Nimbus Press, one and a half months is already a very stressful time.
For seals, one and a half months is not enough. Add in the half-month translation cycle, and it will take at least two months!
So when Sun Peng expressed his understanding, Sun Ya then continued: "Because we had a good relationship with them before, we also agreed on a unified release date, which is March 1st."
"Well, do you have to wait for the release of The Little Wizard?"
"Yes, wait until ten days after it is released."
Nodding, Sun Ya said with a smile: "It just so happened that the third part of The Little Wizard and The Little Wizard was released. Otherwise, do you think the publisher is really so bold and dared to increase the number of first prints by 50% in one go? Two parts?
Movies with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars give them the confidence to do this."
Grinning, Sun Peng said he was happier.
No one is surprised that the second sister has now positioned the box office of the two movies at the global box office level of one billion US dollars. After all, in major countries in North America, Europe and East Asia, The Little Magician ranks as the most anticipated Christmas movie.
One, and during the Lunar New Year period...the Spring Festival period to be precise, the little wizard also dominated the charts in many countries.
The global box office of one billion US dollars is also the consensus of almost all box office forecasting agencies.
And this time, the little wizard's voice was even louder.
Although Little Wizard is more famous globally, the fresh Little Wizard is desperately trying to catch up. Moreover, Little Wizard also has its own brother "Monsters, Inc." competing for the Christmas season. The target audience of the two movies
There is some overlap.
In comparison, The Little Wizard in the Spring Festival release is the only family-friendly super blockbuster.
The promotions of several film companies are now in full swing, so after a pause, Sun Ya suddenly remembered something and said happily: "Fortunately, these two books will be released at the beginning of next year... But to be honest, next year
The rich list of writers would be interesting.”
"Next year? Writer's Rich List?"
After hearing what the second sister said, Sun Peng narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what she meant.
As a writer, Sun Peng will only have these two books published next year. After all, the follow-up will definitely coincide with the release of the movie. However, the rich list of writers not only counts the sales of books, but also the income from various copyright transactions, such as
Sun Peng's music, scripts, picture books, and even game income. After all, the game planner and screenwriter of "The Legend of Laobai Heroes" is also Laobai, so these incomes must also be included in the calculation.
So this year Sun Peng's income may be the same as last year, but next year there will definitely be a huge explosion!
The two novels have already ranked first in sales for the whole year.
The box office share of the Little Wizard in the Christmas season and the Little Wizard in the Spring Festival season next year will definitely be paid next year.
In addition, "Terminator 2" and "Inception" will be released in next year's summer vacation. In the second half of the year, "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2" may be completed and launched online...
Don't think too much, breaking the record is almost certain.
Sun Peng's eyes twitched at this, and he spread his hands and said: "So...Second sister, speed up the preparations for the theme park. If it doesn't work, I can just pay more by myself! I'm thinking that just these few
After the share of the movie and the royalties from the novel, it is estimated that it will be enough to make up one-tenth of the total investment!"
Sun Peng is also full of confidence in his own statement.
Whether it is novel royalties or box office shares, he now gets the highest proportions in the world.
Regardless of the domestic Light Wheel Publishing House or the European Seal Publishing House, the royalties paid to Sun Peng have exceeded 20%, reaching 22%... This number means that every time a book is sold,
, Sun Peng can earn almost ten Chinese coins in royalties!
If 50 million copies are sold throughout the year, that’s 500 million!
Not to mention the share of the movie's box office and peripherals are all even more exaggerated. As long as the box office exceeds one billion U.S. dollars, the dividend to Sun Peng alone can exceed 100 million...
None of the top Hollywood superstars make as much money as he does.
There is also "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2" that may be released next year. As long as the momentum of the first step can be continued... No, Sun Peng can be sure that there will be bigger and more complex maps and stories, as well as countless highly paid elites to lead
Coming to a truly open game world, "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 2" will definitely be more popular than "The Legend of Laobai Qunxia 1"!
And this time, it’s definitely not just Lao Bai’s fans who are paying the bill!
Sun Peng is very confident.
In order to make this game, he himself, and of course the staff of Laobai Studio, have played almost all domestic RPGs. It is certain that "Laobai Heroes 2" is the best! And even if it is compared with the high-quality products from overseas manufacturers,
In comparison, the gap should not be big, and it can be called first-rate.
Why can't a game like this be a big hit?
It’s just a new record on the rich list of writers. Sun Peng thinks he can have...
