1518 [Pride in the Alley]
The ensuing discussion went very smoothly.
"Literature Monthly" likes to support emerging talents, and although Xiang Nan is young, his writing style is seasoned and mature, and he has a very high talent at first glance.
Such rising talents in the literary world are the focus of support from Literary Monthly, so they naturally do not hesitate to offer very good conditions.
Xiang Nan also knows the strategy of taking a long-term view to catch the big fish. As a newcomer, it doesn't matter if the remuneration is a little low now. When he becomes famous in the future, there will be many people asking for his manuscripts at higher prices, so he doesn't care about it.
If both parties have the idea of giving in to each other, then the negotiation will be much smoother.
In the end, the royalties were set at 35,000 won for 1,000 words. With a length of 300,000 words, "Blue Life and Death Love" could earn a royalties of more than 10 million. Even excluding taxes, it was more than 9 million, which is very good.
If he writes a few more novels a year, his income will not be worse than Cui Ze. And once he becomes famous, his reputation will not be worse than Cui Ze. Xiang Nan expressed that he is very satisfied.
…
Later, Xiang Nan went home with a prepaid check of two million won.
After Ms. Baozi saw the check, she hugged her son happily and said, "We, Zhenghuan, are really great. Mom is proud of you~"
"Thank you, mom." Xiang Nan nodded, "Making you happy is my greatest happiness as a son."
"Oh, my Zhenghuan~" After hearing what her son said, Ms. Leopard was even more moved. She hugged him and kissed him hard twice.
"By the way, Mom, can you let me use three hundred thousand to make money for the first time? I want to buy something to share with everyone." Xiang Nan said again.
"Of course." Ms. Leopard agreed immediately.
She has always been open about spending money, but she is worried that when her son grows up, he will become as stingy and stingy as President Jin. Therefore, when she sees that her son wants to spend money to buy gifts for everyone, she is very supportive.
Such a generous and forthright child is her good son.
…
Ms. Leopard then generously gave Xiang Nan 500,000 won and asked him to go shopping as much as he wanted.
Xiang Nan then called his friends and went to the mall to buy gifts together.
"Zhenghuan, why are you so happy?" Donglong asked puzzledly.
"Yes, why do you suddenly want to buy gifts for everyone?" Shanyu asked in confusion.
Deshan also had some doubts.
"The novel I wrote will be published in Literary Monthly. This is the first money I have earned, so I want to buy some gifts for everyone." Xiang Nan explained.
"What?!" After hearing what he said, the friends were all shocked.
"You write novels? Really or fake?" Shanyu said in shock.
"How come I didn't know what happened when?" Donglong was also surprised.
"What novel are you writing? Can you let me read it?" Deshan asked curiously.
Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk one by one. I wrote a novel and wanted to publish it. This is of course true. I wrote the novel when I went home at night, and the theme was a love story. But I have already given the manuscript to "Literary Monthly",
If you want to read it, you have to wait until the novel is published, I don’t have any manuscripts at the moment.”
"Wow~" After hearing what he said, Donglong, Shanyu, and Deshan didn't know what to say. In the end, they could only show their thumbs up to express their admiration.
…
At this time, in the alley of Phoenix Hall, Ms. Leopard also happily told Yihua and Shanying about her son becoming a writer.
"Zhenghuan writes a novel? Oops~" Yihua was shocked.
"A novel sold more than 9 million yuan, wow~" Shanying was also shocked.
Ms. Leopard nodded implicitly but proudly.
"Oh, sister, you are so lucky. Zhengfeng has such good luck, and Zhenghuan has such a good mind. Oh, it is so enviable." Ichika clapped his hands and said.
"Yes, you are really amazing. Other people's children are still spending their parents' money, but the two sons of my eldest sister's family have already made money." Shanying said with emotion.
"The feng shui in our alley is really good. First there was a Go master, and then there was a great writer. Oh my, when will the feng shui come to my house?" Ichika said with a smile.
"Paula has been lucky enough to be admitted to Seoul National University." Ms. Leopard comforted her, "Sunwoo is also good at studying and will be admitted to a good university in the future."
Hearing what she said, Shanying and Yihua nodded.
…
Xiang Nan took his friends to the mall to do some shopping.
Shanyu, Donglong, Deshan, everyone has a gift, even Pearl, Yuhui, and Paula are not left behind.
In addition, Xiang Nan also bought some Chinese medicinal materials for President Jin and prepared to help him recuperate.
President Jin has kidney deficiency and is ineffective in doing things. Ms. Leopard complained many times. Feeding him eels, loaches, and ginseng chicken soup didn't work either. Even after spending tens of millions, it didn't work.
But in fact, that’s because she doesn’t understand pharmacology and makes random supplements, which of course won’t be effective.
Xiang Nan is different. He is an expert in this area and can guarantee immediate results.
After the big shopping, everyone went home happily holding gifts.
People in the alley now knew that Xiang Nan had become a writer, and they were all filled with emotion.
"Oh, Jung Hwan is really amazing. He can become a writer at such a young age. It's really amazing~" Dong Ildu said with emotion.
"I really didn't expect that Zhenghuan is not only good at homework, but also has such a talent. Oops~" Shanying also said to Shanyu.
"Zhenghuan really put his heart into it, and the gifts he chose are all very good." Liu Zaiming said very satisfied after receiving the gifts from Xiang Nan.
For a time, Xiang Nan became a celebrity in the alley, but his fame was far less than that of Cui Ze.
But Xiang Nan believes that after "Blue Life and Death Love" is serialized in "Literary Monthly", his reputation will soon rise.
…
In the next few days, Xiang Nan, in addition to studying and writing, was preparing for the study trip.
Study tours in South Korea are similar to outings in the Mainland, but they go further. The tours are mainly sightseeing, tours, inspections, and studies, with the purpose of broadening horizons and enriching experiences.
For the students, it is a good thing not to go to school for three days and go out to play, so everyone is very enthusiastic and starts preparations early.
Clothes, food, cameras...the most important thing is the talent show. Not only will there be generous prizes, but more importantly, you can be in the limelight.
They are all teenagers aged 17 or 18, in the prime of their youth. Who doesn't want to stand out and stand out.
Therefore, not only Xiang Nan, but also other students are like this.
Dongyong has been preparing for his school trip and is also preparing to sing the new song "Where Your Steps Stopped" by South Korean singer Cho Yong Pil.
Xiang Nan is also preparing to perform on stage. He chose Michael Jackson's classic song "Smooth Criminal". This song was released by him last year. It not only became the number one single on the Billboard chart, but also sold 20 million copies.
