Marvel's princess becomes king

Chapter 141 The Dust Settles

Fat teacher Elijah’s words are very philosophical, and he pointedly explained that the social legal system is becoming more and more civilized. Bella agrees with this, but feels that his words seem to be unfinished. According to the language structure, it seems that the following should be there is still half a sentence

Just when she was about to ask the second half of the sentence, the phone rang, and the old professor John Gray informed Bella that the publisher had news and hoped that she would come over.

Realizing that her trip to New York is coming to an end, and she didn't meet any bad people, let alone those bad things, Bella said goodbye to the elegant and fat teacher very happily.

"I'm waiting for your new book to come out, and I will definitely buy a book for collection." Fat teacher Karl Elijah smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a signed copy then!"

"That's a deal! It's really stressful for a poor history teacher like me to buy bestsellers."

Leaving the library, Bella took a taxi to Random House.

With the recommendation of the old professor John Gray, she definitely can't get the treatment of a newcomer.

The editors of Random House also read her novels. The writing style is fine and the storyline is compact. The religious aspect will cause some controversy, but the publisher is only afraid of less controversy, not more controversy. The more controversy, the better the book will sell. It doesn't matter that Washington is a direct descendant of Jesus, as long as it makes logical sense.

As for the many places in the book that discredit France, that is not a problem.

The human trafficking incident in Paris is so big, a lot of feminist organizations in China march and demonstrate every day, and congressmen from the Democratic and Republican parties also criticize the French government in various public places. There is nothing wrong with smearing France. Now it is politically correct to smear France!

Bella's The Da Vinci Code can be said to keep up with current events, have elements of suspense, and a certain amount of plot reasoning. It is a rare good book.

Others don't say, at least these editors were fooled, and they didn't know a lot of knowledge in it. The view that the Mona Lisa is Leonardo da Vinci's self-portrait is even more amazing.

Several editors considered the Da Vinci Code worthy of publication.

Bella's appearance is also a plus, beautiful writer!What a great piece of promotional material!

It would be great if it was signed at the price of cabbage, but unfortunately they can't do it.

Bella once again invited Jerry Hogarth's firm to take charge of her legal work. The female lawyer was still in Paris, but it was no problem for her firm to send two lawyers to help negotiate the contract.

Even though Bella has found a lot of contacts, she is still a new author in essence. Random House has done a detailed internal evaluation. The first printing is expected to be 8 copies. La's royalties were set at [-]%.

This is a figure that newcomers can never get. Even for many famous writers, this figure is not low. A very famous writer can ask for 15% or even 20% of royalties, but if you dare to ask, Then publishers dare to conceal the number of prints!

After considering several aspects, Bella finally approved this number.

If a single book sells for $16, after selling [-] copies, she can get a pre-tax royalty of $[-].

If Random House prints more, she will continue to take 8% of the money, publish the hardcover edition, or increase the price, and she can still benefit proportionally. The publisher is responsible for various publicity and rankings, and she lies Take the small head.

The film and television adaptation rights, any advertisements, and any peripheral toys belong to her. Of course, this is also limited. It is impossible to say that Notre Dame de Paris is written in my book. Then, with a finger, this Notre Dame de Paris belongs to me. up!Cultural heritage is outside the scope of this ownership.

Random House wanted to sign a five-year book publishing right, and Bella was confident in her book, so she only gave three-year copyright, but after a lot of wrangling, she set a four-year deadline.

After four years, she will automatically withdraw the book publishing rights of The Da Vinci Code.At that time, it is up to you to keep it for yourself or find a new publisher.

A series of contracts were signed, after which all publicity for The Da Vinci Code was entrusted to Random House.

Links such as selling miserably, going to interviews, setting up beauty writers, etc. need to be operated after the first wave of word-of-mouth comes out, and that will be at least two months later.

"Thank you, Professor." Leaving Random House, Bella expressed her gratitude to the old Professor John Gray who helped make the connection.

"Thanks to Charles, he's a billionaire, and I'm just a college professor."

The fat old man cheerfully said that Bella knew that the old man Charles would play a role in it, but she would not underestimate Professor John Gray's help because of this.

Professor Charles and his X-Men did not appear again. Bella was in a happy mood, walking with wind, almost singing, and returned to San Francisco.

The entire trip to New York was perfect, without any twists and turns. The people I met were either professors or teachers, and all of them were cultural people. Bella cleared her suspicion and her physique was fine!It must be my cheap sister who keeps looking for trouble for me!

As the news from all parties continues to ferment, Interpol has rescued many girls, and the influence of the Paris human trafficking incident is spreading to the world.

The Americans did not write on their faces. It is impossible for the traffickers to focus on the Americans. The trafficked girls come from all over the world. For a while, tourists from all over the world turn pale when they talk about Paris. Tourism?Go dreaming!

If you don’t carry two guns with you, you don’t have the strength of a black belt, and you don’t have a team of more than 100 people, it is not recommended to travel to Paris!

Many economists are pessimistic about Paris' economic prospects this year.After compensating the girls for mental damage ranging from 30 to [-] euros, the French government declared that it was wrong to surrender. It was an announcement of the general resignation and an early general election.

These things are just for Bella to watch, and at the same time scare the fierce girl Heather.

According to her words, a talent as talented as the fierce girl can be sold for at least 100 million in France!Those high-ranking French officials will probably break their heads because of this, and even hang up a finance minister or something.

In early June, Charlie and Samantha bought the little beauty a red BMW M3 for Natasha's birthday.

Seeing that the dust of the Paris incident had settled, they approved their travel plan, let's go out and have fun, but don't go too far.

The two are also a little bit worried, where is the right place to go?

"Can you swim?" Bella asked suddenly.

Who do you look down on?Natasha curled her lips lightly: "Go swimming now?"

The two left as soon as they said they would, taking swimsuits, sunscreen and surfboards, and driving Natasha's new car, leaving California at lightning speed.

There are many beaches in California, but there are more tourists. They are going to swim in remote places!
