Chapter 65 Another Busy Life
Chapter 65 Another busy life
As soon as Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara entered the Master House, the little female cat Luconana came up to them and surrounded Hideki Hanyu, refusing to leave.
"Hanyu-san, this imported kitten seems to have grown up a lot?" Kitahara Eri bent down and touched Luconana.
"Maybe the pet shop takes better care of me."
Before I went to Nishinomiya City to see Hagar, Hanyu Hideki deposited Luconana in a pet store. When I got it back today, I found that she had indeed gained some weight.
It can be seen from this that Hanyu Hideki’s high foster care fee at the pet store was not in vain, and the quality of the food was quite good.
After petting the little female cat, the two entered the house. Kitahara Eri looked at the deserted house that had obviously not been cleaned for a long time with a somewhat surprised expression.
"I thought that the famous celebrity girlfriend would live here when Hanyu-san was away."
"Keiko has her own apartment, and besides, she's much busier than me. She just picked up a new movie after returning from a trip to Gunma Prefecture, and she didn't even have time to talk to me on the phone."
Hanyu Hideki had previously thought about going to the set to find his girlfriend to visit him, but when he inquired about it, he found out that the movie his girlfriend was starring in was actually a co-production with Nishibe.
After hearing this, Kitahara Eri felt a little relieved. He was afraid that Hanyu Hideki would succeed in the field of picture books and children's literature and want to transform again.
I ran around all over the place as soon as I got home, and I haven't even finished my rituals yet.
"No, I'll send Beihara-san back."
"It can only be said to be an unexpected attempt. The inspiration for writing this book came from traveling..."
Kitahara Eri didn't care, waved her hand and said, "No need for anything, let's read Hanyu-san's new work first."
As soon as I came back, things kept happening. I was running around and busy. Now I am really tired.
"I understand, see you tomorrow."
"Hanyu-san is right. With it, I can at least be at peace for a while. Then let's talk about the release of "Magical Snack Shop". This is the contract."
Hideki Hanyu knew why the other party asked this. Compared with "The Magic Snack Shop", which is still a children's literature, the "Love, Come Home" that he translated and adapted also has elements of children's growth, but it has more elements.
It is about family love.
Therefore, compared to "The Magic Snack Shop", "Love, Come Home" is a more complete transformation for him.
"Okay, I will convey it truthfully. If there are no problems with other contents, I will go back first."
This also shows that the main audience of this book is no longer limited to children, but adults who can better understand the emotions in the book.
When he finished cleaning up and returned to the living room, he found that Eri Kitahara had already read the contents on the manuscript paper and was sitting in a daze with red eyes, looking like she had just finished crying.
"As long as Kitahara-san has a work for submission, let the people in the editorial department decide whether it can be serialized or not. Why bother worrying about other things."
"Hanyu-sensei, see you tomorrow."
Although Eri Kitahara is not an editor, she can join Shogakukan and has basic literary appreciation skills, so she read it first.
Hanyu Hideki has cooperated with Shogakukan many times. He has read this kind of standard contract countless times. He flipped through the main clauses and then went straight to the most important parts, such as selling price, first printing quantity, and royalty sharing.
content.
But when he saw the final royalty share, which was 13%, Hanyu Hideki frowned.
Kitahara Eri picked up the manuscript paper and asked Hanyu Hideki, "Is Hanyu-san going to transform again?"
Hideki Hanyu took out a stack of manuscript paper from his suitcase and handed it to Eri Kitahara.
Seeing that the other party was looking attentively, Hanyu Hideki did not rush him and started to pack up the pile of salutes placed at the door.
"Let's arrange to meet at Sanyou's place tomorrow."
"Okay, I happen to have a few real estate investment projects here, and I need Hanyu to confirm them personally."
After sending him out of the Kitahara Kaili, Hanyu Hideki could finally lie down on the sofa and rest for a while.
This "Love, Come Home" is truly a "tear-jerker" that even professionals like Kitahara Eri couldn't resist.
Hideki Hanyu was about to ask Kitahara Eri what to drink, but then he realized that he had not been at home for a long time and the refrigerator was empty except for the bottled water he bought before. He felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Now when I hear Hanyu Hideki's explanation, I feel that this was just an unexpected burst of inspiration, and I don't want to completely change my mind.
"Does Hanyu-san know? Since I came to Tokyo to work, it has been almost two years since I went home to visit my mother."
"Hanyu-sensei is finally back. My name is Yada Yoshihiro. Hanyu-sensei asked me to help recruit assistants before. I have several candidates here. When can I meet Hanyu-sensei?"
"No, I'll just take a taxi back."
"What would you like to drink, Kitahara-san? Well...it seems that there is only bottled water. Would you like some, Kitahara-san?"
"It's not too far. I can go home during the Chinese New Year this year. I've always wanted to travel to Shizuoka. How about Kitahara-san be my tour guide then."
"All right."
"No problem, as long as I have vacation."
But before he lay down and rested for long, the phone rang.
With an initial printing of 150,000 copies, Shogakukan has more and more confidence in him, obviously because of the popularity of the series.
Hideki Hanyu also told Eri Kitahara the reason why he got inspiration from Granny Keiko.
"Why is the royalty share only 13%? According to the proportion of picture books, if the number exceeds 50,000, it should be 15%."
In order to prevent his world from being wiped out by the mythical beast, he decisively gave up the idea of visiting the class.
Hideki Hanyu doesn't have much ambition for this book "Love, Come Home". After all, he adapted nearly half of the content from movie and literary scripts.
"Goodbye Kitahara-san."
"Is Kitahara-san okay?"
"Hanyu-san, this work is not a picture book after all, and it is the first printing."
"Kitahara-san, please tell Minister Imai that the royalty share must be 15%. If you have any objections, please look at the sales volume of children's literature." Hanyu Hideki said without refutation.
Hanyu Hideki tried his best to change the topic and appease Kitahara Eri's mood.
"I still don't know where Beitahara-san is from."
Kitahara Eri put away the manuscript paper, then took out a contract and handed it to Hanyu Hideki.
"Moxi Moxi, this is the House of Everything."
The price is 1,100 yen, which is more than 100 yen higher than the later original price of 990 yen, because the book includes color illustrations hand-drawn by Hanyu Hideki.
"I'm from Shizuoka."
"Hanyu-san's Love Home is really excellent, but I think it's not suitable for serialization."
Kitahara Eri spoke with a nasal voice after crying, which was obviously caused by the content of the novel.
After hanging up the phone, Hanyu Hideki said helplessly to himself, "Hey, it looks like I'm going to be busy again."
After saying that, he grabbed the little female cat that was wandering beside him and raised it in front of him, "Luconana, when will I be able to be as leisurely as you are?"
Meow~
Luconana didn't know what her master was talking about, so she just rubbed her head against his face affectionately.
Thanks to Alalons for the reward, and thanks to Little Wing Honda Wing for the 500-coin reward.
