Inside Kagurazaka’s office.
"Teacher Icarus, what do you want to drink?" Kagurazaka said with a faint smile.
"Coke is fine!"
He can drink coffee, but prefers Coke.
Kagurazaka took out a can of Coke from the freezer beside him and handed it to Takagawa Saku.
"Thank you very much, Teacher Icarus, for helping our Kagurazaka team solve a big problem!"
"Actually, I did it for myself."
"We are all for ourselves. If this order fails, the orders for various adaptations assigned to the Kagurazaka team will decrease in the future, and everyone will have a hard time." Kagurazaka still smiled.
Takagawa Saku understood instantly, "I understand."
Then Kagurazaka handed Takagawa Saku several documents:
"So, in order to repay you, we have prepared some surprises for you."
As if he didn’t want to delay for a moment, Kagurazaka showed his eagerness to get the money.
"Surprise?" Takagawa Saku looked puzzled.
The first document he saw was the copyright operation entrustment contract.
"We are currently discussing the price of the animation script of "Plastic Memories" with the relevant departments of Daicon3 Animation Studio. We promise to give you a satisfactory answer!"
"Okay." Takagawa Saku took a look at the key part of the contract.
No problem, sign!
"After discussion, we decided that the company will no longer share the profits and will give you the full amount of the bounty for this time."
"In addition, our department has decided to adjust your contract level to a Class B elite writer contract, and your share of royalties for your works will be increased to 10%."
"Why?"
Takagawa Saku suddenly became suspicious and asked curiously.
He was also a little surprised!
This is an extra 5 million yen, and he thinks he should ask clearly.
Kagurazaka said: "Each of our twelve editing groups basically has a Thor writer. Four of them do not have a Thor writer, but they have more signature writers… So in terms of average strength, each group is about the same, but because our group is a new editing group, and the only Thor writer Senjumura Masaru needs to be in seclusion for a year for some reason, our group has always been weak."
Takagawa Saku understood:
"It seems that the competition between the groups in the library is quite high."
Kagurazaka said:
"It’s not that our company is under great competition, but that the entire industry is under great competition. Dengeki Bunko, Fujimi Shobo, Shueisha, Kodansha, Shogakukan… There are far more writers of light novels in Japan than writers of traditional literature. There are also various competitions and awards every year. I really hope that you can become a trump card of our Kagurazaka Group and even Dengeki Bunko like Senjumura Masaru."
"Well, I understand."
"Will signing this contract restrict me from publishing my works in other Shinchosha or other magazines?"
"Don’t worry, non-long light novels are not allowed.We naturally have no control over novels. ”
Miss Kagurazaka leaned over and whispered:
“Actually, if you really want to, even if it’s a light novel, you can just change your pen name and publish it in other libraries, or after reaching a termination, submit it to other libraries, just like Yamada Fairy Sensei. ”
Takagawa Saku immediately understood.
If it was limited to light novels, he didn’t care.
The future is promising, sign!
Not to mention that the extra 5 million yen can solve his urgent needs!
It will definitely be no problem to buy a store.
The 10% royalties will also be a big help for the upcoming "Four Lies".
The price of non-popular light novels in Dengeki Bunko fluctuates roughly between 700 yen and 800 yen.
10% of the royalties.
He can probably get 70-80 yen for each copy of "Four Lies"!
If it can become a popular If so, the highest price can be sold is 1500 yen per copy!
Then the share is 150 yen per copy!
Instantly, Hikigaya Hachiman’s value in his mind soared, and it might even rise from 50 yen to 150 yen!
For Hikigaya and Totsuka!
There is definitely a promising future, sign!
After Takagawa Saku signed the contract!
The writer level of Dengeki Bunko instantly changed from D to B.
But there are A and S above.
"Editor-in-chief Kagurazaka, don’t we have a Thor writer in our group? Doesn’t the Thor writer get a higher share of royalties as an elite writer? ”
Kagurazaka nodded:
“The royalties and copyrights of Thor writers are definitely higher than those of other writers, and Thor writers have many other benefits, such as peripherals, animation, audio, etc. The most important thing is that they can negotiate with the library and get a higher share of the benefits of all aspects of the work according to the customized contract…”
Takagawa Saku asked the question he really wanted to ask:
“What is the standard for Thor writers?”
“At least five works with sales of more than three million copies, or a single work with an influence of more than ten million copies, and a work with a substantial and influential award, even if the sales are less than three million copies, it counts as one.”
“Does the Dengeki Bunko’s Rookie King count?”
“Yes.” ”
Takagawa Saku secretly noted it.
If you want a single book to exceed 10 million, you need the right time, right place and right people to become popular.
But 3 million is much lower.
If the subsequent works are calculated as a single book between 3 million and 10 million.
That means there are still four works to go!
Of course, it would be best if a single book can exceed 10 million.
Kagurazaka patted Takagawa Saku on the shoulder: "I believe in the potential of "Four Lies". I feel that breaking 3 million copies will definitely be no problem. As long as you give me time, I won’t say that I will become a Thor writer, but I will definitely become a signature writer."
"Yeah." Takagawa Saku seemed to be thinking about it.
"Don’t even think about thatIt’s not that far. After all, you have already made two big splashes in just half a month. Your potential is definitely not small. "
"Yes." Gao Chuanshuo agreed but had his own ideas.
He had to speed up the progress of publishing his books. After all, only by becoming a Thor writer as soon as possible can he make more money.
In Japan, a world dominated by chaebols!
Only with more money can you do more things.
Light novels and literary creation!
It’s just a way to accumulate resources for him.
But you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time!
So!
Set a small goal first, and start with becoming a Thor writer!
Then dominate Japan step by step!
"By the way, after such a long period of preheating, "Four Lies" is about to be released. Although you don’t plan to hold a book signing event, would it be convenient for you to sign a few copies of "Four Lies" to promote sales? ”
It’s finally going on sale, Gao Chuan Shuo’s eyes light up!
As soon as it’s on sale!
If it doesn’t flop, it means a steady stream of depression points and money!
Definitely step into the high-income class!
“No problem, I’ll sign.” Gao Chuan Shuo’s brain is not straight. For something that can help him make money, he will naturally not refuse.
“How many books are you talking about?”
“Fifty books.” ”
Gao Chuanshuo: “…”
Okay, okay, you also redefine the word “books”.
