Chapter 673
“What does that have to do with you, my very good friend of course, but if you’re not interested, then forget it.”Mo Yiang put the painting away.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Mo, we can still talk.”Cheng Yu didn’t want to let go of such a good opportunity.
“If you’re going to talk about getting me to write a book, that’s fine, but if you’re talking about my friend’s painting, I’m willing to talk about it.”
Mo Yiang’s tone was poor.
“Mr. Mo, I’m not going to lie to you, the publishing industry is very recession proof right now, the impact of the internet has hit the publishing industry so hard that many publishers have closed their doors, and the ones that remain are very cautious about publishing a book right now.”
Mo Yiang is slowly learning about it these days through his contact with the publisher.
“With all those comics on the internet nowadays, who’s going to buy comic books and read them when it’s only a dime or even a few cents to read a chapter.”
“But there are still going to be some comic books on the market.Isn’t it?”
“Of course there will be, publishers don’t even want to publish comics because comic books cost a lot of money, first of all they pay the artist more than the average writer, in addition, the printing costs are higher, the books are priced too high and it’s impossible to sell them, so basically they lose money and people don’t want to do it.”
Cheng Yu spoke honestly, and only then did Mo Yiang stay, ready to have a good chat with him.
“We are now publishing either by very famous cartoonists or by cartoonists who are paying for their own publication.But a lot of cartoonists are now turning to the internet to create their own, which pays well and makes it easier to gather a following, and you can also get your friends to try their hand at serializing online.”
It wasn’t that Mo Yiang hadn’t thought about it, he just didn’t think that people of Lai Hanjiang’s age knew much about the internet.
If Li Qinqin sent the comic to the internet, how could she go and open up to Li Hanjiang, if she handed over a comic book to Li Hanjiang, it would definitely be much less effective.
“Isn’t there anything else you can do but post it online, my friend’s comic is a healing comic, not a story, and I think a collection would be better.”
“Yes, you can self-publish your comic book.”
“And what’s the approximate cost of that?”
“The exact cost will probably depend on the number of pages and the first print run, plus the purchase of a publication number, and the publisher will have to make some money because printing is more expensive, a cost I think it’s better to have 100,000 ready.”
After so many days of contact, Mo Yiang finally saw a glimmer of light.
“If I give you $100,000, will you publish my friend’s book?”
“I can fight for it with the publisher, but, Mr. Murphy, I would advise you not to do that, because the $100,000 is like throwing it out, and although you are paid a lot of money for the film, the money is not a windfall.”
“Don’t worry about that, we’ll be in touch later.”
Mo Yiang left with Lai Qinqin’s painting, and he immediately looked for a bank nearby to withdraw 100,000 yuan.
It was only when he inserted his bank card into the ATM that he remembered that he had spent all of his money on the engagement ring when he got engaged to buy the engagement ring
The pink diamond ring he brought from Albert Ou, he saw that Li Qinqin liked it so much, and for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to use it as an engagement ring.
So he went to the jewelry store and bought a very expensive ring, after all, the Fang family was considered a respectable person, and he had to give everything he had to purchase the ring so that his family wouldn’t lose face.
The combined balance on the bank card is just over $3,000.
He’s a movie star, but he’s only got $3,000. It’s a laughing stock.
That’s right, the ring.
The ring but spent more than 3 million to buy the engagement is not engaged into, can sell the ring ah even if it is not sold at a discount to the original price to sell out always can it.
But Mo Yiang forgot that he didn’t take the ring at all on the day of the engagement, or just put it on the table.
At dinner time, we all sat at the table.
San San sat in the baby chair next to Jasmine Tong, and Mo Yiang looked at Albert Ou from time to time, so I guess this matter can only be asked of Albert Ou.
But he was too embarrassed to ask, after all, the ring he picked from here was a pink diamond, and the other ring he used on the day of the engagement ceremony, worried that Albert Ou and Jasmine Tong would ask him.
“Uncle, I put my engagement ring on the table the day we got engaged, and who put it away for me.”
Mo Yiang asked cautiously and prayed silently.
“That pink diamond your little uncle gave you, why don’t you use it” Jasmine Tong looked at Mo Yiang as she fed San San.
Mo Yiang hurriedly made a wink towards her.
Jasmine Tong understood and didn’t pursue the question further.
“Where’s the diamond ring I gave you?”
“That pink diamond of mine, I accidentally lost it the other day when I took it back, and I was too embarrassed to tell you guys, so I poured my money into another one, and now that I remembered, I asked where I put it.”
Mo Yiang had to lie.
“Over ten million dollars of rings and you just say you’re going to lose it loser deserves you can’t find a girlfriend” Albert Ou slapped the table and reprimanded.
“Throw it away, it’s just a ring.”Jasmine Tong hurriedly rounded off the situation.
“It’s true that I couldn’t find that pink diamond, it fell down the drain, I’ll ask now if I can get the one I bought back.”
“Your mother put it away.”Albert Ou didn’t have a good answer.
“Oh, I see, then.”Mo Yiang continued to eat with his head down.
He can’t go home and ask his mother for it. That’s a death wish.
After dinner Mo Yiang went back to his room, so hard to find a path, but money became a problem again.
He can’t even come up with $100,000. If he borrowed $100,000 from someone else, he’d be ashamed of himself.
Jasmine Tong knocked on the door and walked in, “You seem to be quite busy these days, what are you up to”
“Forget about it, it’s bothering me.”
“Well, I won’t ask anymore, what are you looking for the ring for is it useful” Jasmine Tong seemed like she could see through Mo Yiang’s mind.
“I need money in a hurry.”
“What do you need emergency money for?”
Just at this time, Mo Yiang’s phone rang, it was a message from Li Qinqin.
When the phone rang, Jasmine Tong subconsciously looked at the phone, the screen showed Li Qinqin’s name, Jasmine Tong probably also understood.
Mo Yiang hurriedly turned his phone over, its screen facing down.
“You’re an adult too, Yi Aang, and while I support your decision not to get engaged to Fang Duo, it doesn’t mean I’ll support you being with Li Qinqin.”
Chapter 674
Jasmine Tong’s expression and tone of voice were very serious.
Last time, she helped Mo Yiang hide the fact that Li Qinqin was staying at Mo Yiang’s house, but it doesn’t mean that she will support Mo Yiang and Li Qinqin to be together.
Because of the last time Li Qinqin repeatedly designed to seduce Albert Ou, Jasmine Tong still has palpitations.
“Where were you thinking of how I could be with Li Qinqin?”
Mo Yiang himself thinks that he and Li Qinqin are impossible, but Li Qinqin is the woman who seduced his brother-in-law!
“Better be then, let me ask you, what are you looking for the ring for.”
“It’s nothing okay? It’s just that I suddenly remembered the other day that such an expensive ring would be a big loss if it was accidentally taken away by someone.”
This explanation made sense, but Jasmine Tong always felt as if Mo Yiang was hiding something from her.
It’s impossible to ask anyway, so simply don’t ask.
After Jasmine Tong left, but Mo Yiang was once again in distress, 100,000 yuan, where can he find 100,000 yuan?
He hurriedly brought his phone over to see the message from Li Qinqin.
“I think the drawings should be enough for now, how’s it going with your publisher.”
“The publisher’s side is about to settle, and now it’s just helping you negotiate the manuscript fee.”Mo Yiang had to lie, he didn’t want to tell Li Qinqin that 100,000 yuan was hard to beat him as a movie star.
“That’s just great, but it’s okay if you don’t want the pay if the person wants to publish it.”
“How can that be? You’re a cartoonist now, how can you not want the pay, not only do you want but also fight for you more, wait for my good news.”
“Then I’ll wait for your good news.”
Mo Yiang hadn’t slept all night, tossing and turning unable to sleep, Li Qinqin had indeed been very diligent these past few days, and if this matter didn’t end up getting done, Li Qinqin would definitely be very disappointed.
She was already a delinquent girl, and if she kept this up, her life might be truly ruined.
Mo Yiang doesn’t know why, but it feels like he has become like a savior for Li Qinqin and must pull her back on track.
The next morning before dawn, Mo Yiang was rushing out the door in his car and he returned to his apartment.
Once inside, he started looking around, pulling open his drawer, which contained several watches, most of them from sponsors, something he didn’t really like himself.
These watches should also sell for quite a bit of money, so he picked up a few valuable pieces and drove to a watch store that recycles old watches.
For fear of being recognized, he wore sunglasses and changed into a very ordinary outfit.
The watch store wasn’t crowded, but it had a few customers, and as soon as he walked in, an immediate waitress made her way up.
“Is it the watch, sir?”
“Just looking around.”Mo Yiang didn’t even dare to lift his head up.
“Okay, I’ll get you whichever watch you like.”
After the few customers in the store left, Mo Yiang held onto his sunglasses.
“You here,”
“Mo Yiang really is you ah gosh, I actually saw a big star you guys quickly come over is Mo Yiang” squealed the waitress, that screamed an excitement.
The others immediately came together.
When Mo Yiang saw this situation, he didn’t even take the watch out of his bag, he hurriedly walked out and left immediately in his car!
He broke out in a cold sweat, luckily he hadn’t said anything about selling the watch, or this would have made the headlines
Looks like the watch won’t sell, he’ll have to think of something else.
Back at the apartment, Mo Yiang went around the house several times.
After pondering for two or three hours, Mo Yiang finally sat down in his study and turned on his computer.
The computer is the highest configuration, but he can’t sell the computer, the star’s computer isn’t something you can just sell.
But there’s something in here that can be sold, his game account.
Mo Yiang is very fond of playing games. At first, he played these two numbers, one male and one female, in order that one day they could get married in the game, and the other number was even played for Jasmine Tong.
But Tong simply didn’t like playing games and never took that number over.
Ever since he knew that his uncle and Jasmine Tong were together, Mo Yiang hadn’t shown his heart, but he was still playing these two game numbers.
He’s been playing both of these numbers for years, the highest level, and he really can’t afford to let him sell them.
The point was that it wasn’t simply a game number, but carried all his thoughts about Jasmine Tong, and in real life, not being able to be with Jasmine Tong, being together in the game was not a compensation.
If he sold the number as well, he would have no sustenance left.
Mo Yiang stared at that number for a long, long time.
The bits and pieces with Jasmine Tong were like over-the-top movies, replaying in his mind.
Do we really have to sell it?
Mo Yiang seems to have made a great deal of determination before he began to operate, and sold the two numbers, although the two numbers are very high grade, but this kind of numbers can be sold for tens of thousands, already very good.
Mo Yiang negotiated shamelessly for a long time and sold the two numbers for $50,000.
But 50,000 is still not enough, and specifically 100,000 is still halfway there.
Mo Yiang immediately called Cheng Yu.
“Mr. Murphy, how’s it going? Have you thought this through?”
“Mr. Cheng, I am thinking that the price is a little expensive, isn’t 100,000 a little less? “When Mo Yiang said these words, he felt his face burning.
When has he ever stooped so low, let alone bargained for something like this?
“Mr. Mo, 100,000 for you is not a piece of cake Well your remuneration can be calculated in millions of units, this you don’t bargain with me, we publishers can survive is not easy, every book out of the need to deliberate.”
“Then I’ll think about it.”Mo Yiang couldn’t really come up with that much money.
Cheng Yu seemed to sense Mo Yiang’s embarrassment, and also felt as if this matter was going to be yellow.
“Mr. Mo, why don’t I give you an idea.”
“What idea?”
“You haven’t published a book so far, you’ve only published one photo book before, and if you put together all those years of acting experience into one book, it would sell like crazy.If you’d like to publish one of these books with our publisher, so we can help your friend publish comics for free.”
It wasn’t that Mo Yiang was reluctant to publish a book; many publishers had approached him and his agent before, and it was now common for stars to publish books.
But he’s never been a good student, not to mention he’s never been allowed to write a book, and writing an essay as a child would kill him.
Chapter 675
“Mr. Mo, as you know, this is the era of fan economy, you have so many fans, no matter what you write, they like to read, besides, a star publishing a book has a positive effect on the star’s personal maintenance.”
Chengyu is still actively lobbying.
A lot of publishers are still able to survive today, thanks to the fact that some can contact stars to publish their books, and some have some well-known authors.
“But I’ve never written a book, and I don’t know what I could write about.”
“It’s simple, you can take some of your private stills, personal photos, get some pages together, and the rest you can pick some interesting things from the filming and just randomly write them in a collection.”
Cheng Yu made this very simple.
“If I promise you, you can publish my friend’s comic for free.”
“That’s right, we’ll take a cut, but of course, we’ll offset it in terms of your fee.”
This Changyu is too smart.
Mo Yiang if he publishes a book, but that’s his fans, there’s no telling how many he can buy, and take royalties to get at least a few hundred thousand.
“Okay, but you have to give me time, but my friend’s time has to come out first, she can’t wait on her end, she has to start getting into the program to publish my book right away.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll arrange it right away. I won’t let you down.”
After Mo Yiang hung up the phone, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he had to pay a great price, but the thought of being able to help Li Qinqin was also satisfying.
Mo Yiang sat in front of the computer to give Li Qinqin a call.
The phone was spaced out for a long time.
“I was just in class, what’s wrong isn’t the publisher’s business done” Li Qinqin’s voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being overheard by someone.
“Get it, I but the movie emperor, what is there that I can’t handle it guess how much I give you to talk about the manuscript fee” Somehow, hearing the voice of Li Qinqin, Mo Yiang is also inexplicably very happy.
“How much? How many? Five thousand?”
“Guess again.”
“10,000 impossible bar I checked online, like our little fledgling artist, very cheap, a book to earn a few thousand on the good,” Li Qinqin all right online when the Internet has some understanding.
“Fifty thousand dollars.”
“50,000 my mother, really fake ah” squealed Li Qinqin.
“The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you’re not lying to your father.
“I’m simply too happy Mo Yiang, you’re my lucky star my painting can even sell for 50,000 yuan” Li Qinqin deadly never thought she this spend money like a thousand gold lady, but one day can make money, or through their own hands.
“It’s about to go into production, and if you keep working hard, you’ll probably have a lot of publishers vying for your paintings in the future.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll try,”
After hanging up the phone Mo Yiang’s face was also filled with a satisfied smile.
If the comic book goes ahead and gets published, it won’t have been a waste of his efforts for so long.
But now he’s starting to think about what to do with his book.
He immediately opened his computer and started reading what other people’s books were like, and his head hurt from reading them
It’s already the end of the year, according to Li Hanjiang’s plan to send Li Qinqin abroad after this New Year.
So Lai Chin Chin’s comic book has to be published before the New Year, which is just two months away.
Mo Yiang had already given all of Li Qinqin’s words to the publisher so that they could select them, and he even kept pressuring the publisher that Li Qinqin’s comic book wouldn’t come out.
The publisher’s side has caught a big fish with difficulty, and they don’t have to pay a penny for the manuscript, they’re not happy yet, naturally they’re like a grandfather serving Mo Yiang.
Mo Yiang is of course a man who keeps his word, and seeing that the publisher is working so hard to produce Lai Qinqin’s comic book, his own book also speeds up its progress.
But it was simply too difficult for him to write a book for a scum, and he constantly searched the internet about stars writing books and even copied some of the pretty statements from others.
He couldn’t really write about it, and after several discussions with Naru, he could only write about some of the messes he encountered on the set.
Not enough words, photos to go with it.
Mo Yiang took out all of his bottomless photos, which were not shown in front of the media before, and should be considered as an explanation to his fans.
Over the course of a month, Mo Yiang finally put the book together.
The comic book by Li Qinqin will soon be available in print, and the two of them have a very special name: The Three-Legged Apple.
On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Lai Qinqin finally got her own comic book.
Looking at the comic book with her name printed on it, Li Qinqin was not to mention how happy she was.
At the dinner table Li Qinqin looked at Li Hanjiang and then at Wen Lan, she coughed lightly because with her own comic book, she would naturally speak with a little more strength.
“I have something to say.”
Li Hanjiang didn’t give Li Qinqin a good look these days, but instead, Wen Lan had been setting the two up from the middle.
“Qin Qin, seeing how happy you’ve been all day today, is there something good about you” said Wen Lan.
“On a particularly good note, I’m announcing the official publication of my Lai Chin Chin’s first comic book” Lai Chin Chin was beaming with pride.
Li Hanjiang and Wen Lan looked at each other, not knowing what Li Qinqin was talking about.
Li Qinqin looked at everyone’s performance and was also a little disappointed, “Can you guys give some reaction, it’s someone’s first comic book”
“Comic books,”
Lai Han Jiang snorted, “How did I not know you could draw comics, but there are even publishers willing to publish your comics”
“Dad, I don’t like it when you say that” Li Qinqin ran upstairs and took her comic book down and threw it on the table.
“See, that’s my comic book.”
Wen Lan picked it up first and was delighted to see the three words “Li Qinqin” on it.
“It’s really our Qinqin, look at this” Wen Lan took the comic book to Li Hanjiang.
When Lai Hanjiang saw the three words above, he also felt a little strange.
“It can’t be the same name,”
“Turn it over and look inside” Li Qinqin was fortunately prepared.
When you open the first page of the comic book, there’s a brief bio of Lai Chin Chin and a picture of Lai Chin Chin.
“Li Qinqin, a new generation of beautiful cartoonist, specializes in healing cartoons and hopes to heal every lonely heart with her drawings.”
Li Hanjiang was sure that this was his daughter’s comic book, and his whole body froze up
