Seeing that Ye Su really didn't seem to know the difference, Wugen Liuli explained.

"Generally,Powerful light novels,Will come out first"Single book",Prices range from 1,500 to 2,000 yen a copy.,And for some reason, 1,680 yen is the mainstream price.,Most of the works of many famous teachers in the industry are priced at this price.。 ”

"When a single book is sold for a certain period of time, a cheap library book will be sold to extract surplus value, and the price of the library book is basically around 600 yen, and the cheap one is even only 500 yen."

"The single book and the library book, at least three times the difference, so some of the novels on the library book public trust list sales, can not be believed, the same sales, the money earned may be the same, but people are selling out the single book, and then sell the library book, and some light novel writers, but only the library book. Naturally, the gap is very large. ”

After listening to Wugen Liuli's explanation, Ye Su remembered something.

That is, in Japan in the previous life, the status and market of light novels were far lower than those of traditional novels.

And the world is a little better.

In the previous life, light novels, basically there was no treatment for a single book, and only Nishio Restoration, Hiroshi Arikawa and other strong people who have published a single book.

Therefore, there have always been people who oppose the Nishio Restoration being counted as a light novelist, because people enjoy the treatment of best-selling authors, and new books are published in a single book first and then come to the library......

In his previous life, Ye Su once heard people discuss, how to talk about light novels on the public trust list of the library book......

But in fact, the sales of a single line on the public trust list are counted separately from the library book during the week, and those light novels are only faced with cheap versions of mainstream best-selling novels that have been sold once at a high price of 1500+ yen.

However, even so, after the single book was sold out, the situation was not optimistic, a traditional writer Keigo Higashino, the old work was able to cut 97,000 sales within three days of release, occupying the top of the weekly public trust list, kicking the ancient book hall and punching friends. Although Keigo Higashino will be squeezed out with 100,000 weekly sales as soon as Sword Art Online 10 is released next week, Higashino-sensei still dominates the list and continues to punch other light novels on the list.

You know, this is an old work that has been sold once at a price that is almost equivalent to three light novels, and then the price of the cheap version is as high as 760 yen, which is more than 100 yen higher than the general price of about 600 light novels.

And in the week before the new broadcast,You can see that there are only nine light novels in the thirty places on the public credit list.,The rest are cheap editions of various existing works.,Haruki Murakami's classmate's 1q84 accounted for six places - this book was split into six books and sold.,In order to make money,It's unscrupulous.,In addition,When this book was newly released in 2009,There were three copies in total.,Each cost 1890 yen.,700,000 copies were sold in the first week.,An average of 230,000 copies each.,And then the price of one is equivalent to three magic forbidden books...... And now its library has been able to occupy one-fifth of the top 30 places on the public trust list for several months.

However, in this world, some high-quality light novels, even the work of a newcomer, can be sold for a single book price of 1500+ yen. And after the publicity, the sales will not be very low.

Although the market for light novels has not been so prosperous recently, it is still a world of difference compared to Ye Su's previous life.

At this time, Shanmu Chiya and Ye Su discussed the meaning of the library, whether to publish the library book first, or the single book first.

In his opinion, Ye Su's novel is qualified to be published in a single book first.

For newcomers, the library book is often the best choice, but the library book is often a table of qualifications and the status of the work.

"Even if you decide to publish it now, after a series of preparations, it will take a month, or even a month and a half, to finally release it." Sugi Chiya said with a smile: "So this question doesn't have to be decided so quickly, my personal proposal is, let's first observe the popularity of publicity, in addition, the eighth "sneaker" award is being held, we will put one-tenth of the content of this novel, put it on the Internet, conduct publicity and voting, and then carry out packaging to build momentum." Let's see the end result. ”

"I see." Ye Su nodded, although he tended to be a single book, it was naturally better to make more money.

"Also, I went to prepare the contract for the book. The royalty is at 11% according to the standard of the best newcomer, no problem, right? Sugi Akaya asked.

"No problem." Ye Su nodded, in the previous life, the royalties of domestic publishing and newcomers were usually 8%, but now they are three points higher, and if there are any problems, they are naturally very happy.

After signing the contract, Ye Su and Gojo Ruri left Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko Publishing House.

Wugen Liuli looked at the manuscript in his hand, and then looked at Ye Su's contract, and was speechless for a while.

"Thank you for this." Ye Su also seemed to feel the eyes of Wugen Liuli, which was really a subtle embarrassment, and hesitated to speak.

"Say, don't I have a talent for writing novels?" Wumore Liuli looked up at the sky, hesitated, and said.

Faced with this heavy question, Ye Su hesitated for a moment and said: "Everyone has everyone's interest, if your interest is to write novels, that is to see, do you write novels for yourself, or write novels for readers." ”

"What do you mean?" Wugen Liuli was stunned for a moment and said.

"People always have some writer's disease. When you write something, you always want to infect other people and have fun with it, while some people want to write the book they want to write, they write for themselves, and they write for the sake of interest. Ye Su said with a faint smile.

"So what?" Wugen Liuli asked.

"So, do you think you can succeed for the sake of the reader, or for the sake of interest?" Ye Su asked.

Wugen Liuli heard this, thought for a while, and said: "For the sake of readers, we can be successful, because readers are the ...... of the market."

Ye Su heard this, but shook his head: "That's just wishful thinking, you have to understand that only by writing a book for yourself can you be successful, if you can't recognize it, let alone others?" ”

"...... so?" When Wugen Liuli heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and he had some inexplicable feelings.

"Got it?" Ye Su asked.

"I don't understand." Wugen Liuli shook his head.

Ye Su smiled dumbly, and Wugen Liuli looked at him a little annoyed: "What's so funny, if you don't understand, you don't understand, what do you want to say?" ”

"What I'm trying to say is, since you're writing novels for yourself, then don't care about your talent and just keep writing along the way." Ye Su said seriously.

"So?"

"Naturally."
