"Blue Life and Death Love" has been serialized in "Literary Monthly" since October and has been serialized now. There are six issues in total, each with 50,000 words, totaling 300,000 words, which can be considered a novel.
Because of its twists and turns, the plot is touching and tear-jerking, it has been very popular among readers since its release. Especially romance lovers like Deshan admire this film extremely.
Because so many people were following it, the sales volume of "Literature Monthly" increased a lot. Therefore, this book attracted the attention of publishers early on. They all paid high prices to buy the copyright, but Xiang Nan never let go. .
Because he is not an adult, the contract must be signed by a guardian. By then, President Jin and Ms. Leopard will know exactly how much money he earns.
Xiang Nan is not stingy and doesn't want to spend money on his family. The key is that he knows that once the money goes into his parents' pockets, it will be difficult to take it out.
If he wants to buy a car, a house, or invest, he has to discuss it with them. Naturally, it is better to keep your money down, make your own decisions, and spend it happily.
Now, he is an adult and can make his own decisions. If the copyright is to be sold, it will naturally be sold.
…
After reading "Winter Sonata" and "Dae Jang Geum", the publishing house was also very interested in these two works, so they hit it off with Xiang Nan.
"Blue Life and Death" has a basic royalties of 100,000 won for 1,000 words, plus 15% of the printing royalties; "Winter Sonata" has a basic royalties of 150,000 won for 1,000 words, plus 10% 2 printing royalties; as for "Dae Jang Geum", the basic royalties are calculated as 120,000 won per thousand words, plus 14% of the printing royalties.
Not to mention anything else, Xiang Nan can get nearly 200 million won in basic royalties alone. If the three movies are a hit, they will earn 300 million or 500 million in minutes.
In South Korea in 2017, 300 million won was an astronomical figure for ordinary people. Jiangnan Yinma Apartment only costs 50 million yuan, and the monthly salary of a section chief like Dong Ri is only more than 1 million yuan. Three hundred million won is enough for him to earn for fifteen years.
…
Xiang Nan gave all the royalties from "Blue Love of Life and Death" to his family.
Seeing such a large amount of money, Ms. Baozi and President Jin were filled with emotion.
"Ah, our Zhenghuan is really capable." President Jin said with emotion. He made almost 100 million won per book, which is really amazing.
For example, when he is now working as an electrical appliance agent, his monthly income is only three to four million won. It is not easy to earn 100 million won.
"We Zhenghuan have grown up." Ms. Leopard also said happily.
Their son not only studies well and is considerate, but he can also support himself without them having to worry about him.
…
"Sixty million?!" Yihua and Shanying were surprised when they heard that one copy of Xiang Nan sold for 60 million.
For them, 60 million is a lot of money, and it takes a long time to earn it.
"Yes." Ms. Leopard nodded reservedly yet proudly.
In this alley, besides Cui Ze, my son is the most outstanding, and he should be proud of it!
"Oh, that's awesome~" Ichika said with emotion.
"Zhenghuan is really good, sister, you are really lucky." Shanying also said with a smile.
"Yes, while our children are still spending money, Zhenghuan has already started to make money. My eldest sister's life is really good." Yihua admired, then raised her hand and said, "I said it first. , Zhenghuan will be my son-in-law in the future."
"Sister, what are you talking about? Zhenghuan wants to marry our pearl." Shanying immediately smiled.
Ms. Leopard also kept smiling with her lips pursed.
…
"Sixty million?!" The friends were all shocked when they heard that Xiang Nan sold a book for so much money.
Xiang Nan nodded.
"Wow, the Feng Shui in our alley is so good. First there was Master Cui, and now there is Writer Jin." Dong Longdu said with emotion, "Why am I the only one who is so mediocre?"
Among the eight children in Phoenix Hall, Paula is a top student at Seoul National University; Kim Jung-bong is the god of wealth and the winner of the 100 million lottery; Cui Taek is the master of Go, Sun-woo is the school's top student, and Deok-sun is the Miss Olympic medalist. . Even Yu Hui, there are girls actively pursuing him. It feels like God just forgot about him.
"Fried rice cake~fried rice cake~" Deshan took the lead in cheering.
Xiang Nan smiled, nodded, and agreed.
"Ah, you kid, you are so busy, where do you find the time to write?" Shanyu asked in confusion.
He was already too busy studying and falling in love. He had to study until one o'clock in the morning every day before resting.
In addition to studying and falling in love, Xiang Nan also wants to write. I really don’t know where he gets so much energy.
"Yes, the key is to rank first in grade in every exam." Donglong sighed with emotion, "Ah, you kid is so perverted, perverted."
"Okay, I believe you will have your own achievements sooner or later. I have always believed in this." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Let's go and eat fried rice cake~"
…
"Blue Love of Life and Death" was then officially compiled into a volume and published. In order to attract more readers to buy it, Xiang Nan specially added some content and wrote nearly 50,000 words of extras.
This book gained many fans when it was serialized. After being published as a volume, it immediately achieved a lot of sales, with 50,000 copies sold in the first week of release, which is considered a very popular book. After all, South Korea has a population of only over 30 million.
The hot sales of "Blue Life and Death Love" also attracted the attention of the media. Only then did they realize that the creator of such a popular film was actually a senior high school student who had just turned eighteen.
After learning this news, the media were all excited and came to interview Xiang Nan, asking about his personal life, creative experience, sources of inspiration, etc.
Xiang Nan knows that media reports are very helpful in improving his reputation. So he is also very active in this regard, accepting interviews and promoting it.
Because his deeds are indeed selling points, it is very rare for a young high school student to write such a popular work, so the media are happy to report it, and the public is also happy to read it.
This also caused Xiang Nan's fame to soar rapidly, and he soon became a popular writer.
The boost in reputation also has many benefits for Xiang Nan.
On the one hand, it stimulated the sales of "Blue Love of Life and Death"; on the other hand, it made him a popular figure in the school, with people giving guidance wherever he went. There were even students from other schools who came here because of it and even collected a large stack of love letters.
However, Xiang Nan didn't have any random thoughts.
Because Deshan is different from other women, she really likes Zhenghuan, and she will only devote her whole heart to whoever she loves. It won't be sloppy or swaying from side to side.
And Zhenghuan also really likes Deshan. He will only love her for the rest of his life and will not change his mind around her. These two people are very simple and down to earth.
When Xiang Nan watched this drama, he was moved by them and felt sorry for missing them. Naturally, he would not destroy this feeling with his own hands.
Therefore, no matter how many and beautiful girls chase him, he doesn't like them.
