From the cute baby star

Chapter 94 The first manuscript fee has arrived
At noon, the two families had lunch together in the hotel restaurant.

Then in the afternoon, Qin Junhao and his younger sister Qu Xiaomu chatted and played games together, and the afternoon passed in a blink of an eye.

In the evening, the two families had dinner together again. During the dinner, Qu Xiaomu's family cheered Qin Junhao for the Xinghai Cup final tomorrow.

After dinner, the two families went back to the hotel separately temporarily.

Qin Junhao was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone leisurely, when there was a knock on the door, and Uncle Qu Jiayang's voice came from outside the door: "Old Qin."

"coming."

Qin Dalei came to the door, opened the door, saw Qu Jiayang holding five physical books of "The Hobbit" in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Is this the physical book published by my son?"

"That's right, the publishing house left five copies for Xiao Junhao. Didn't Xiao Junhao ask me to bring them here?"

Qu Jiayang walked in, went to the sofa, and handed the five physical books of "The Hobbit" to Qin Junhao.

"Thank you, Uncle Qu."

Qin Junhao got up and took the five books.

A copy of "The Hobbit" is only about 23 words, which is not too thick, so Qin Junhao can still hold the five books together.

This is the first time Qin Junhao has seen the physical book of his novel "The Hobbit".

I looked at it carefully.

The paper materials are similar to ordinary paper books, except that the cover is too simple, with only the title of "The Hobbit" on it.

Fortunately, the style of the book cover is like ancient parchment, which has the atmosphere of fantasy novels.

"Uncle Qu."

Qin Junhao raised his head and called Qu Jiayang.

"What's the matter, little Junhao?" Qu Jiayang lowered his head, looked at Qin Junhao and asked, "Do you want to ask how many copies our publishing house plans to print in the next batch?"

However, Qin Junhao shook his head: "No, Uncle Qu, I just want to say, after a while, after my illustrator draws the illustrations of "The Hobbit", can I publish a hardcover illustration version? Because I think the hardcover illustrations This edition can give readers a more detailed understanding of the character design of "The Hobbit" and the virtual world of Middle-earth."

"Of course! Little Junhao, did you find an illustrator?" Qu Jiayang felt a little surprised.

In general, illustrations can indeed enhance readers' in-depth understanding of novels.

Especially character illustrations, which can give readers a concrete impression of each character in the novel.

Then there are illustrations such as settings and maps, which are also very important.

Qu Jiayang has read Qin Junhao's "The Hobbit" several times. The geographical settings of the elf country, misty mountains, lonely mountains, and long river towns in it will be easier to understand if there are illustrations.

"Yeah, I have a friend who is super good at drawing, so I asked her to be my illustrator."

Qin Junhao nodded and replied.

"Your friend? Also a child?" Qu Jiayang asked with a frown.

Could it be that Qin Junhao, the friend of the genius child prodigy, is also another prodigy with super high talent in the field of painting?
At this time, Lin Yushuang said from the side: "It's a friend of Zaier's when he participated in the "Xiaguo Poetry Conference".

"That's how it is. It's great to have an artist who can draw illustrations just as you imagined. Then, little Junhao, after your illustrations are produced, we will publish a hardcover illustration version. You must know the hardcover illustration version. The selling price is much higher than that of ordinary printing and publishing."

"it is good!"

Qin Junhao was very happy when he heard it.

After all, if the price of a hardcover illustrated edition is higher, Qin Junhao will naturally earn more money.

"By the way, Junhao's mother, the publisher's accountant will transfer the first draft fee of little Junhao to your card today, remember to check it."

Qu Jiayang reminded Lin Yushuang.

When the publishing contract was signed, the bank card number left was naturally that of Lin Yushuang, the head of the family.

Because Qin Junhao does not have his own bank account and he is underage, the money will of course go to Qin Junhao's guardian.

"It was already in the account in the afternoon."

Lin Yushuang's face was filled with happiness.

There was a total of more than 6 yuan. When Lin Yushuang saw the payment for the manuscript, he was very excited.

"Have you got the money? We should invite Lao Qu and his family to dinner that night."

Qin Dalei at the side spoke.

"Didn't you already ask for it? Junhao's mother insisted on rushing to pay the bill. Thank you, little Junhao."

Qu Jiayang said with a smile.

It was indeed Lin Yushuang who paid for the meal at night. After all, he had received more than 6 yuan in manuscript fees, and he happened to have dinner with Qu Jiayang's family again, so a treat was inevitable.

Qin Dalei smiled contentedly when he heard that, his wife is really very understanding of the world, except for being a little bit strong at home, she is really perfect, no wonder she can give birth to such an excellent son.

"This time, [-] copies were published, which is not enough to sell. The second batch of prints is [-] copies!"

Qu Jiayang told Qin Junhao's family about the publisher's next printing and publishing plan for "The Hobbit".

"One hundred thousand copies!"

Qin Dalei couldn't help but adjusted his glasses, and quickly calculated the money secretly in his heart.

3 copies are more than 30 yuan in royalties, and [-] copies are more than [-] yuan!

"Didn't you say that [-] copies will be signed later?" Lin Yushuang asked in surprise after hearing the words.

"Isn't it that Little Junhao's "The Hobbit" sold so well, so after our meeting decided to publish another [-] copies, if the [-] copies are not enough to meet the purchase needs of readers, then the next , "The Hobbit" is about to dominate the bestseller lists of all major books!"

Qu Jiayang said excitedly.

The possibility of "The Hobbit" dominating the bestseller lists of all major books in the future is very high, and Qu Jiayang is looking forward to seeing that day.

"That, that, how many copies will it sell?" Qin Dalei scratched his head and asked.

"Let's put it this way, once the word-of-mouth of the second batch of [-] copies continues to rise, then Xiao Junhao's "The Hobbit" will sell better than Guo Kun's "The Great Pirate" last year."

"Over a million copies?"

Qin Dalei sighed and muttered: "That's more than 300 million manuscript fees."

Lin Yushuang looked at her son excitedly.

At this moment, Qin Junhao is very calm, it is nothing more than 300 million, "The Hobbit" is worth this price, or even more.

and.

Qin Junhao's vision is more long-term. Once "The Hobbit" becomes popular, future copyright development will not be in units of millions.

"Old Qin, Junhao's mother, your little Junhao really has a promising future, you have to love him well."

Qu Jiayang really envied Lao Qin's family to have such an excellent cub.

At a young age, he has achieved extraordinary accomplishments in several fields, and he will definitely perform even more brilliantly in the future.

Of course, the premise is that you can't go astray.

Qu Jiayang has seen many examples of geniuses and intelligence in childhood, but faded away when they grow up.
