Skip classes! And become a light novel writer!
To be honest, taxis in Tokyo are really expensive, so Xia Qiu chose to take the Shinkansen to Dengeki Bunko.
Although the Shinkansen is not cheap, it is at least better than a taxi.
Take two tickets and take the Shinkansen to Dengeki Bunko in the city.
Hmm...how should I put it~ It's really nice to skip classes and not have to go to school!
After leaving the subway station, Xia Qiu came to the building where Dengeki Bunko is located.
According to the editor-in-charge on line, Xia Qiu came to the third floor, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman in OL professional attire waiting for him.
"Hello teacher, I am your editor-in-charge, my name is Kagurazaka Ayame."
I have to say that Ayame was still surprised when she saw Xia Qiu. Although she already knew the teacher's age from LINE, she couldn't help but sigh when she actually read it. He is truly a genius to have such writing skills at such a young age.
And Xia Qiu's appearance is handsome enough, at least much more handsome than that Neon No. 1 gigolo, which is a selling point that can be packaged!
Super handsome Neon high school student, genius healing light novel writer, with these titles, it is unlikely that it will not sell well.
"Hello, my name is Xia Qiu."
He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chang Pu.
"Judging from the name...is the teacher from China?"
"Yes, they are international students."
Acorus was shocked again! The light novels written by international students are so popular with locals, which shows what a genius Xia Qiu is.
"The teacher must have come to Neon when he was very young, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to write such a top-notch masterpiece."
After that, Chang Pu invited Xia Qiu to his office.
"The royalties we offer for signing contracts are about 9%. Because the teacher's work is a big prize, the best royalties we can give to newcomers are generally 9%. If the quality of the subsequent works of the teacher is always very good, you can still negotiate with us on royalties."
"One volume is about 950 yen. We also pay the same amount to excellent authors for the publicity and promotion costs. You don't have any familiar illustrators, right? If not, we can arrange one for you."
It can be seen that Dengeki Bunko still attaches great importance to Xia Qiu's book, and the conditions offered are all very good.
Although the 9% royalties are not high, Xia Qiu does not have to pay any taxes on the money he earns.
And if 100,000 copies are sold, the money received will be about 8,550,000 yen, which is equivalent to nearly 400,000 yuan in Chinese currency.
Isn't it a wave of fat!!
However, 100,000 copies in a single month is a bit difficult. If you can sell 30,000 copies in the first month, it will be a big hit. You can hit 500,000 sales in the future. As for the million sales...
To be honest, it is still difficult without the blessing of the comic adaptation, even if this novel is really outstanding.
Kagurazaka Ayame said a lot and was very serious.
To be honest, the light novels in Japan are really responsible! If you give an example, it is equivalent to the role of a domestic agent. From the publication of a novel to its promotion and release, the editor-in-charge has a lot to pay attention to.
Just like those light novel writers in the previous life, the author really has to kowtow to the editor-in-charge, such as the author of Sword and Fairy
"Okay, just do as you say."
"Okay, since the teacher agreed, but the teacher is only sixteen years old, right? It seems that a guardian is required, but since it is an international student, this point can be skipped."
After all, you can't ask the parents to fly over from China on the other side of the ocean, right?"
As she said that, Kagurazaka Ayame took out a contract and handed it over.
Xia Qiu took the contract and read it carefully. Contracts are something that need to be read carefully. I hope not to become a player whose contract is blocked, otherwise it will not be worth it.
However, a large company like Dengeki Bunko naturally would not set a trap on an ordinary little author like Xia Qiu, so there was no big problem with the contract.
Xia Qiu picked up the pen and signed his name.
"OK, can I call you Teacher Xia Qiujun from now on? Because calling you Teacher Xia Jun or Qiu Jun seems a bit weird."
"Of course there is no problem. I will trouble the editor-in-chief Acorus to take care of it in the future."
After getting familiar with each other in Japan, you can call each other by name.
And Xia Qiu naturally has no such concerns, it's just a title.
And according to the class society of Japan, Acorus should call Xia Qiu by his pen name plus the title of teacher, or directly by his real name plus the title of teacher.
But looking at the other's young face, the word teacher really made Kagurazaka Acorus unable to say it. It's a bit awkward for her to call a brother who is one generation younger than her teacher. It's better to change to a more intimate title.
And... Xia Qiu's pen name is really funny!
You can't let Kagurazaka Acorus call Xia Qiu a lolita control teacher, right? Xia Qiu doesn't care about face, she still has some face!
"But Xia Qiujun's writing is very good. Usually, when a light novel is handed over to our editor, we need to read it once to find unreasonable or inappropriate wording and ask the author to revise it. The one Xia Qiu sent to our editorial department is perfect enough, which makes me, the editor, feel useless."
Acorus slightly complained, and then sighed, is this the world of geniuses? What's the point of revising or not revising? I just read it once!
"Ah? Do you want to revise it?"
For a web writer like Xia Qiu in his previous life, the most painful thing is to revise the article. Just revise Jill! It's better to just rewrite it.
"By the way, when will the award for this grand prize be given to me?"
Now Xia Qiu is more concerned about this! The grand prize is 3 million yen! It is enough for Xia Qiu to live on his own before the payment of the manuscript fee.���Neon life goes on
"Generally the money will be transferred to your card within one month before the release. Is Xia Qiujun short of money?"
"To be honest, before I started writing light novels, I considered becoming a gigolo."
"Phew... That would be a waste of Xia Qiujun's ability. However, considering Xia Qiujun's face, Neon's No. 1 gigolo should really step aside and give up his throne."
"Well, generally speaking, the four lies can be published before mid-May, so the grand prize money may be sent to you in mid-April. If Xia Qiujun is short of money, I can apply to the editor-in-chief to send you part of it in advance, and call you by tomorrow night at the latest."
Thank you very much! If it weren't for this money, Xia Qiu really planned to challenge the wilderness survival tomorrow, but Japan doesn't allow begging.
