After knowing Takagawa Saku’s idea.
The female editor smiled, "Leave the matter with Mr. Eromanga to me, come in and sign the contract first."
"Mr. Ikaros, what would you like to drink?"
Fujii Yuuna took Takagawa Saku to a small meeting room with a smile on her face.
"Coke."
"That may take a while, I’ll go downstairs to buy it for you."
"Forget it, have a cup of coffee!"
"Wait a minute!" Hearing about coffee, Fujii Yuuna’s eyes lit up.
After a while!
Fujii Yuuna came in again with two cups of coffee.
And it was latte art.
"…Does your company hire a barista?"
"No, I did it, because my main job in the company is to make coffee for my seniors, so I’m very skilled. I’m sorry to embarrass you." Fujii Yuuna smiled a little proudly.
"What a mess! How can an editor like you make coffee so well?"
Takagawa Saku was shocked.
"Because I have been here for more than a year, and I am still an assistant editor of the Kagurazaka Group. The editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka took care of me and assigned you to me, saying that you are an unprecedented genius with unparalleled potential. Cultivating you into an excellent author is as simple as leading Steve Jobs and the Sharks to win the NBA Finals. Then I can be promoted to a formal editor."
Takagawa Saku: "…"
Beets!
Assigning the author of the Newcomer Award to an assistant editor who has no successful training experience…
Fortunately, he has a system and does not rely too much on the editor.
Otherwise, I would be shocked.
"Ms. Fujii, Yamada Fairy is also a well-known writer in the industry, at least more famous than me. Why do you treat her like that…"
"She is too annoying, and she is not an author in our group." Fujii Yuna looked at Takagawa Saku with doubt, as if it was a matter of course.
Takagawa Saku was hesitant to speak, he is an anime writer after all.
You will have no friends if you do this!
You drive a MAZDA, no wonder you are stuck in traffic…
But this is none of his business!
At least after getting along with him for this period of time, he still likes this editor.
This editor cares about his business.
He really cares about it and will try his best to get a lot of benefits for him.
He is also willing to go downstairs to buy Coke for him.
That’s not bad.
…
The rest is to sign the contract formally.
Although "Four Lies" is a Rookie Award-winning work, Dengeki Bunko did not give too much preferential treatment in the royalties.
It was still a standard contract signed by a general bunko.
Takagawa Saku also understands.
After all, it has not been proven by the market.
If he can continue to write popular works in the future.
Become a best-selling author.
You will definitely get a higher share of royalties.
If you are lucky enough to become a Thunder God-level author in Dengeki Bunko.
You can even DIY the contract.
When negotiating the contract with the library, you can raise many demands, such as the share ratio after the copyright of the work is sold, the high buyout price, etc., to ensure the stability of income.
It’s only the first book now, and it’s too early…
The Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award!
The difference between the main volume and the supplementary volume is that the supplementary volume is on the back of the page in the magazine, and the bonus and publicity are the same.
A total of 3 million yen.
The library will first pay 20% of the tax, and the excess will be refunded at the end of the year.
In the end, Takagawa Saku received a check for 2.4 million…
According to Ms. Fujii!
There are many other taxes such as resident tax and reconstruction tax. If they are not paid, they will have to pay 375,000 in taxes at the end of the year.
Takagawa Saku has only one complaint in his heart——
This damn world, the taxes are so high!
Of course, it’s not that he can’t afford it.
After all, this is just the prize money for the grand prize. After that, "Four Lies" will be published as a single volume.
There will be subsequent royalties.
That’s the big deal.
In the days to come.
As long as there are still people who buy the single volume of "Four Lies".
Then Gaochuan Shuo can continue to receive royalties from this novel.
If he’s lucky.
Maybe he can make a living from a good book.
But those are things that will be known after "Four Lies" is published.
Anyway, if "Four Lies" performs well.
If it is to be animated.
Then he has to start preparing a company, so that he can connect with the library in the name of the company.
It can save some taxes.
In his memory, Yamada Fairy registered a company called "OfficeMOONSIDE" to comply with the relevant taxes.
But at present, just the 2.4 million yen check in his hand is enough to shock Takagawa Saku.
How many 50 yen pieces are there!
Holding this check.
Takagawa Saku, who has always been calm, still couldn’t help but get excited.
But he didn’t leave Dengeki Bunko immediately!
He took a deep breath, made sure he was ready, and then called Hanaji, who was currently working in a lingerie store.
The call was quickly connected.
There was a slightly tired voice on the other end:
"Xiao Shuo, what’s wrong? Is there anything you need money for at Sobu High School? Oh, yes, you are in the second year of high school, so you need to find a cram school for the summer vacation in advance. How much does it cost? Auntie will transfer it to you right away."
"No."
Takagawa Shuo hurriedly said, "I have good news to tell you…"
Takagawa Shuo hadn’t finished speaking yet.
I heard a strange voice coming from the phone:
"Weiwo Huazhi, where have you been? The inventory is blocked at the door. Come and pull it to the warehouse first!"
The phone was suddenly hung up.
After about ten minutes.
Only Huazhi called back and whispered:
"Xiaoshuo, the signal was not good just now. What good news did you just say? By the way, you still need to find a remedial school for the summer vacation. Try your best to get into a good university. Don’t worry about the money!"
Gao Chuanshuo felt sour in his heart:
"No, Aunt Huazhi, you don’t have to worry about the university. I have good grades and there is a high probability that I will be admitted. What I want to say is that I wrote a novel some time ago and won a prize. After deducting taxes, I made about 2 million yuan!"
"2 million yuan? Writing a novel?"
Only Huazhi, who was a little relieved to hear the award, was slightly stunned.
"…"
