Skip classes! And then 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.
Well... 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 clothes waiting for him.
"Hello teacher, I am your editor-in-charge, my name is Kagurazaka Ayame."
I have to say that when I saw Xia Qiu, Ayame still felt a little surprised. Although I already knew the teacher's age from line, it was really amazing to see it in person.
He is so young and has such writing skills. He is really a genius.
And Xia Qiu's appearance is handsome enough, at least much more handsome than that No. 1 gigolo in Japan, which is a selling point that can be packaged!
Genius healing light novel writer, with these titles, it is unlikely that his works will not sell well.
"Hello, hello, my name is Xia Qiu."
Stretched out his hand and shook hands with Acorus.
"Hearing the name... are you from China?"
"Yes."
Acorus was shocked again! The light novels written by the other party are so suitable for local tastes, which is enough to see what kind of genius Xia Qiu is.
"Then the teacher should have come to Japan when he was very young, otherwise he would not have been able to write such a top-notch masterpiece."
After that, Acorus invited Xia Qiu to his office.
"The royalties we offer for the contract are about 9%, because the teacher's work is a big prize, and the best royalties that can be given to newcomers are generally 9%. If the quality of the teacher's subsequent works is always very good, you can still negotiate with us on the royalties."
"It's about 950 yen for one volume, and the treatment we give for the publicity and distribution costs is also based on the treatment of excellent authors. The teacher should not have a familiar illustrator, right? If not, we will arrange it."
It can be seen that Dengeki Bunko still attaches great importance to Xia Qiu's book, and the conditions given are all very good.
Although the 9% royalties are not high, Xia Qiu does not have to pay any taxes.
And if 100,000 copies are sold, the money received will be about 8,550,000 yen, which is nearly 400,000 yuan in Tianchao currency.
Isn't it a wave of fat! !
However, it is a bit difficult to sell 100,000 copies in a single month. If you can sell 30,000 copies in the first month, it will be a big hit. You can try to sell 500,000 copies in the future. As for the sales of one million...
To be honest, it is still difficult for Four Lies without the blessing of comic adaptation, even if this novel is really excellent.
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 domestic agents.
From the publication of the novel to the 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.
"Okay, let's do it as you say."
"Okay, since the teacher agrees, but the teacher is only sixteen years old, right? It seems that you need to bring a guardian, but since you are an international student, this seems to be skipped."
After all, you can't let their parents take a plane and fly over from China across the ocean, right?
As he 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 needs to be read carefully. He hopes not to become a player whose contract is blocked, otherwise it will not be worth the loss.
However, a large company like Dengeki Bunko naturally cannot set a trap on an ordinary little author like Xia Qiu, and there is no big problem with the contract.
Xia Qiu picked up a pen and signed his name.
"Okay, can I call you teacher Xia Qiujun in the future? Because it feels more or less strange to call you teacher Xia Jun or Qiu Jun."
"Of course there is no problem. I will trouble the editor Ayame to take more care of it in the future."
After getting familiar with each other in Japan, you can call each other by name.
Xia Qiu naturally has no such concerns. It's just a title.
And according to Japan's class society, Ayame should call Xia Qiu by his pen name plus the title of teacher, or directly by his real name plus the title of teacher.
However, looking at the other person's young face, Kagurazaka Ayame couldn't say the word "teacher".'s younger brother, it's a bit awkward for her to call him teacher, why not change to a more intimate name.
And... Xia Qiu's pen name is really funny!
You can't let Kagurazaka Ayame call Xia Qiu a lolita lover teacher, right? Xia Qiu doesn't care about face, but she still has some face!
"But Xia Qiu's writing is very good. Generally, when a light novel is handed over to our editor, we need to read it once to find out 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."
Ayame complained slightly, 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 need to revise it again?"
For online writers like Xia Qiu in his previous life, the most painful thing is to revise the text, to change a Jill! It's better to rewrite it than to let him revise it.
"By the way, when will the reward 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 in Japan, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, before the manuscript fee is issued.
"Generally, it will be transferred to your card within one month before the publication. Are you short of money, Xia Qiu?"
"To be honest, before I wrote light novels, I considered whether to be a gigolo."
"Puchi... That's really a waste of Xia Qiu's ability, but considering Xia Qiu's face, the No. 1 gigolo in Japan should really step down and give up his throne."
"Well, generally speaking, the four lies can be published before mid-May, so the grand prize money may be given to you in mid-April. If Xia Qiu is short of money, I can apply to the editor-in-chief to send you part of it in advance, and transfer it to you by tomorrow night at the latest."
I am so grateful! If it weren't for this money, Xia Qiu really planned to challenge the wilderness survival tomorrow, but Japan doesn't allow begging.
