This embarrassing situation lasted until the coffee came to ease. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Taking a sip of bitter coffee, Machida Enko didn't know what to think, and broke the silence with a slightly nervous mouth: "Ji Jun, I don't know if you are sure about the subsequent plot of the novel?"

"I can guarantee that it will be even more exciting, because I have been working on this novel since junior high school, and it is all my own experience before. Ji Ming looked confident.

Of course, what he said is no different from farting, and his personal experience is even more bullshit, he will live a super cash life that countless people envy in the future!

There's no way.,Don't find a reason.,Could it be that I said that I just drew a random sign yesterday.,I didn't think about the plot at all.,Because it's plagiarized.。

This is certainly something that cannot be said.

But Machida Enko doesn't know!

I saw her look at Ji Ming with a sympathetic look on her mother's face: "Ji Jun, it's very hard to be alone and have no friends." ”

You have no friends, you are alone!

All right... Although it is a fact, it is still sad to be told in front of someone!

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Ji Ming realized what it means to lift a stone and hit his own feet...

Qiang smiled: "It's okay, it's impossible to make friends, and I really like the feeling of being alone." ”

“……”

"Actually, Ji Jun is also very eager to have friends, right, otherwise there would be no two characters, Yukino under the Snow and Yui Yui!"

Looking at Machida Yuanzi, who suddenly became excited, Ji Ming reminded him with some black lines on his forehead: "That, Miss Machida?

"Ahem. ”

Machida Enko, who was a little embarrassed and blushed, took out the two contracts prepared directly from behind her.

"These are the two contracts I prepared before, please take a look. ”

As the publisher's side, Machida Yuanzi obviously understands the potential of this novel, and Ji Ming also understands it very well, so the purpose of this conversation between the two is to see if the sincerity given by Machida Yuanzi's publishing house is enough.

Ji Ming took the other party's contract and looked at it carefully, there are a lot of rules and regulations, but there are only a few aspects that need attention.

After reading it, Ji Ming looked at the contract in front of him and compared it with what he had just checked on the computer.

For the author, the contract is mainly about the manuscript fee, for new authors, the manuscript fee is generally a buyout, that is, the price is calculated according to 1,000 words, and it is paid in a lump sum.

For this Ji Ming directly ignored it, the short-term lack of money can be temporarily made up for by a part-time job, and it is impossible for this golden rooster that will lay gold for him to sell cheaply because of a temporary lack of money.

Then the rest is the royalties, he doesn't know how much the royalties of the previous world light novels were, but he still knows the world very well now.

At this time, what was placed in front of Ji Ming were two contracts of similar size.

One is a fixed royalty, and the other is divided according to sales.

"17%, that's already the limit we can give to newcomers, and the others won't be higher than this. ”

Machida Enko said truthfully that this is indeed true, because these contract data are almost transparent and public, and can be found at any time.

17%, Ji Ming touched his chin, the top handful he found was generally about 20%, although the level of the work is obvious to all, but his current identity is still a newcomer, and this price is worthy of him.

It's just that.... The other one, divided by sales?

That's good! I like it to be so simple and rude!

The base royalty is 10%, and the maximum is 22%, but to get the highest copyright, the sales record seems to be a little higher than the current RB light novel No. 1.

"That's it!" Ji Ming suddenly slapped the table, startling Machida Yuanzi....

Looking at Ji Ming pointing to the sales sharing contract, a trace of surprise flashed in Machida Yuanzi's eyes: "Are you so confident in yourself, Ji Jun?"

"I feel that if the publicity is done well, the top three sales should still be fine. Ji Ming said truthfully, if you are not confident, you can't do it, the explosive sales in his previous life gave him a reason to swell, this light novel can really be said to be popular throughout RB.

He has also read the 11 district light novel rankings in this world, and he can't say that the writing is not good, he can only say.... It's boring.

If it weren't for the fear of leaving a bad impression on others, Ji Ming directly said that I broke the first chrysanthemum.....

"Then I'll lend you good luck!"

Seeing Ji Ming so confident, obviously confident in his follow-up plot, Machida Yuanzi was naturally very happy.

"Come, Ji Jun, sign it!" Machida Yuanzi looked at him with a fanatical expression after handing him the pen.

There's no way, can you not be fanatical, you must know that as an associate editor, she may personally dig out a young god for the publishing house!

If Ji Ming is really famous in the future, her benefits are also infinite!

Looking at Machida Yuanzi's fanatical eyes, Ji Ming was a little speechless, why did this look so much like the leader of the xie sect, he was a little frightened, and he cautiously checked the contract a few times again....

There is no problem, Ji Ming, who was a little puzzled, signed his name on the contract and handed it to Machida Yuanzi.

"Yay!" Holding the contract, Machida Yuanzi couldn't help but cheer a little, a bright future was waiting for her!

For the future results of the book "My Youth Love Story", if she continues to maintain this level, she is not worried at all.

Although she is a little speechless about Ji Ming's first three "bold words", she can conquer her, the editor who has read almost all types of neon light novels, in less than one volume, and the sales are definitely very explosive, and there is an infinite possibility of rising!

This is her assertion as an editor who has been working for many years! Because what they do is to understand the reader's market and what type of work readers like.

"By the way, Ji Jun, what are your plans for the illustration of the novel?"

Signing a contract means that their interests have been completely tied together, and illustration, which is extremely important to light novels, is naturally necessary to ask clearly.

"I have a friend who specializes in drawing this, and I want him to draw it for me, is that okay?"

Illustrator Ji Ming naturally has his own considerations, and he must not be at ease to let others draw him, so he can only find a way to come by himself, saying that his friend is just to dispel Machida Yuanzi's concerns, after all, people's energy is limited.

"If the painting feels good, this is fine. Machida Yuanzi didn't doubt anything after hearing this, after all, how could she think of this, writing novels is very tiring, and ordinary people still have the energy to draw illustrations.

"Well, I'll probably be able to finish the first volume recently, and when will it be published?"

"In the near future, it's probably next month.,There's a May Day Golden Sales Week next month.,If you're planning to publish it in the near future.,I'll suggest to the president that you invest the most resources in your novel in the case of May Day.,If you're going to take your time.,You'll have to wait for the summer vacation.。 ”

Machida Yuanzi thought about it, and the novels that were published and sold during the May Day period were basically gods recognized by the industry.

Although it's a bit risky to give all the resources to newcomers, the quality of Immortal Chuan's recent novels is really terrible, whether it's a great god or a newcomer, there are no novels that can hold up the scene at all.

Ji Ming smiled at Machida Yuanzi, and chose the former without hesitation, what are you kidding, he is a man who wants to become the king of the second dimension, time is very precious!

Of course, the most important thing is that he is in dire need of money.....

"Ji Jun, since everything is almost discussed, then I have to go back and report the good news to the president first. ”

"If there is anything, we can call at any time, and please try to keep talking at any time if you have a mobile phone!"

The specific contract has been signed, and Machida Enko is naturally not in the mood to stay here and drink coffee slowly, and she has to go back to the publishing house as soon as possible to discuss the specific operation of this novel with the president.

"Then I'll wait for your good news. ”

Sending Machida Yuanzi away with a smile, Ji Ming is also in a very happy mood now, although he can't get the money in a short time, but as long as he works to get through this most difficult time, a better future is coming!

After drinking the bitter coffee slowly, Ji Ming walked out of the café, and there was no imaginary waiter on the way shouting that he didn't give money.

Ji Ming was a little glad in his heart, fortunately Machida Yuanzi paid the money, otherwise he would be embarrassed!
