I Am a Nobleman in England

"Ding--"

"cheers!"

In the study room, after seeing off the people from Random House Publishing House, Arthur, Emilia, housekeeper Paul, and Tom opened a bottle of champagne and toasted.

"Congratulations, dear, another novel is coming!"

Wearing a black sweater with a black leather jacket, paired with black straight-leg pants and black leather shoes, Emilia, who is dressed in black and looks slimmer, holds Arthur's arm intimately and naturally, with a sweet smile on her face He looked at Arthur and congratulated him.

"Hehe, thank you." Arthur smiled happily. Indeed, the joy in his heart was beyond the comprehension of others. Once again, he received 1.5 million US dollars, full of sense of security.

"I really didn't expect that writing novels can really make so much money..."

Emilia's next words made several people in the study chuckle. As a veteran in the publishing industry, Tom took a sip of the champagne in his glass and said with a smile.

"Generally speaking, British and American best-selling authors can make a good living off of royalties, and they occasionally give lectures or write columns at universities to stay young and energetic.

Living off royalties, though, is only the perk of famous and best-selling authors. For the average writer, there are other ways to earn a living, such as teaching at a university, writing for radio broadcasts, or writing bad detective stories.

In fact, it is very difficult for writers in some European countries to make a living.

Although the Swiss writers are respected, but due to the small population of the country, it is impossible to make money by selling books, so most of them work part-time as translators, teachers and so on. Portuguese writers have the highest suicide rate, because their works are rarely bought and read or even poor. The slogan of Belgian writers is that you can't stay in the country, you must go to France if you want to develop. . . "

Hearing Tom's introduction, Emilia raised her joking eyebrows, looked at her boyfriend and said with a smile, "Honey, I wish your novel a big hit and become the best-selling novelist!"

"No problem, it will definitely sell well, I have the confidence." Arthur smiled confidently, but a sentence in Tom's words reminded him of one thing.

"Boss, you should consider finding two agents, one in the UK and one in the United States. Without an agent, you can't keep an eye on the publishing house." Tom suggested at the right time.

Although the publishing industry in the West is very mature and regulated, and piracy is rare, writers also need an agent to strictly supervise the publishing situation to protect the writer's legal income. After all, a large sum of money is involved, without supervision, leaving loopholes, there will definitely be problems.

"Well, I've left this matter to you. I believe you should have a lot of choices. Help me find two honest and reliable ones. You don't need to be too well-known." Arthur nodded and said.

"Okay boss, I will send you the information of the selected candidates." Since Tom made this suggestion, he also guessed that this task would fall on himself. Fortunately, as an old man in the British publishing industry and a writer agent I deal with many brokers often, so it is not difficult.

However, Tom still feels very sorry that the novel "Fifty Shades of Gray" did not stay in his own publishing house. For this kind of novel that has already gained a reputation and has a wide readership base, it is completely guaranteed to make money. .

"It's a pity, if it can be completely published and sold by Bolin Press, the publishing house may really develop and grow again..."

"Hehe, haven't you left the UK's publishing rights? You have to admit that the gap between us and a multinational publishing group like Random House, their sales channels are beyond our reach, and we must do a good job of local management first. Bar.

Besides, with me in person, you have nothing to worry about, the most important thing is here. . . "

As he spoke, Arthur smiled and stretched out his finger to point to his head, and said confidently: "As long as this place is not exhausted,

There will be continuous new works being created, and there will be plenty of opportunities. "

"Boss, do you have a new inspiration?" As a wise man, Tom immediately heard the hidden content of his young boss's words, stared at Arthur brightly, and asked eagerly with joy on his face.

This question also caused Emilia and the housekeeper Paul to look at Arthur who was still smiling in surprise, waiting for his answer.

"I do have some ideas. It came about after hearing you say that you can't write a good detective novel. The third novel, I'm going to try to write a detective novel." Arthur said with his eyes narrowed.

Hearing this answer, Tom, Emilia, and the butler Paul, who admired the earl's talent very much, were a little shocked. They all knew horror. Detective novels are the best themes among best-selling novels.

But it is also the subject matter that requires the highest level of writers. It not only requires profound writing skills, but also requires fascinating imagination. It is really not a subject that ordinary writers can write well.

"Detective novels are indeed best-selling themes, and I am very much looking forward to your new work, Boss."

Although the facts are like this, Tom will naturally not show an attitude of questioning his boss. After all, the boss's two unfinished novels have sold for a good price. The heir to Lord Boblin can write novels.

However, facts speak louder than words, and with real achievements ahead, no one can doubt that the young Lord Earl can create another miracle.

"Hehe, you will see it, but first, I have to finish writing the previous two novels first. Hey, speaking of it, I really have a headache." Arthur didn't care what everyone thought. They all know how many things are in their minds.

Among other things, those American dramas I watched in my previous life, such as the basic deductive method, such as Charlotte, although they are all reborn from Sherlock Holmes novels, but they are also very innovative, besides, there is the footbath that I have watched for more than ten years. Do you want to store up the rich cases of elementary school students who will never grow up?

Therefore, for Arthur, it is easier to write detective novels. The main reason is that there are plenty of cases to learn from, or you can just copy them directly.

As the protagonist of a time-traveling essay, we must have the ideological realm and awareness that we do not create stories, we are just the porters of the stories in order to be successful and worthy of time-traveling!

"Okay honey, I won't bother you at work, boo—"

When Tom left, Emilia sat in Arthur's arms in the study. The two drank a few glasses of champagne together, and at the same time couldn't help but love each other for a long time.

Emilia, whose pretty face was slightly flushed and her eyes became a little blurred, braked suddenly on the verge of starting a war. Their foreheads were pressed against each other. Emilia kissed Arthur on the cheek and broke free. Arthur's arms.

Seeing the petite and exquisite Emilia tidy up her clothes, she gave him a charming look, and then quickly walked out of the study. Arthur couldn't help but shook his head and smacked his mouth with a smile, smelling himself In the palm of your hand, the faint fragrance of N makes people intoxicated.

Stand up from the sofa, take a few deep breaths, suppress the flame in your heart, let your demigod talisman subside, walk to the desk, take out a cigar from the wooden box, light it, sit on the boss chair, mouse Double-click the document and start brewing.
