Chapter 060 Royalties

Takeshita Kusaokei is not too excited about the 15% royalty that only Oda Jun has already offered to Japan's first-line writers. The genre of his novels is not popular literature on the market, so the award he won was the Akutagawa Prize, not the Naoki Prize. Takeshita grass mustard is well aware that they may not be able to cater to the general public's taste.

Therefore, in his view, the sales channel is far more important than the amount of royalties. Even if the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House only gives itself 10% of the royalties, it can help him sell 300,000 or 500,000 copies, but it is far more practical than the 15% royalties given by the Trend Publishing House, which can only sell 100,000 copies. It's not just about the income from personal royalties. The most important thing is that the wider the spread of the book, the more it can bring you an increase in popularity, a surge in fans and followers, so as to lay a very good foundation for future publications.

Takeshita Mustard, who knows that he will not publish only one book in his life, even if the future sales are not optimistic, he will not offend a large publishing house like Wenyi Chunqiu for the sake of the small profits in front of him. After all, if it really does something behind its back, then it is extremely easy.

"Let me think about it! If I had thought about it and had your trend club release my first book, I would have given you a phone call in person. "I didn't refuse Jun Oda's Takeshita grass mustard on the spot, but I wanted to reserve a premium space to put some pressure on Sakai Chie.

From his words, it was difficult to discern what it meant for a while, and Jun Oda, who was inexplicably feeling unprecedented pressure in the face of the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House represented by Chie Sakai. Even if a small publishing house like theirs does not face strong competitors, it is difficult to obtain the physical book distribution rights of a good book by a well-known author in China.

Jun Oda, who was awarded the second plan by the editor-in-chief before coming here, can only settle for the second. Even if you can't get the four masterpieces of Takeshita Kusaoke's representative works "Rashomon", "In the Bamboo Forest", "Childhood Sweethearts", and "Dancing Queen", you might as well get middle and upper works such as "The Princess of the Six Palaces" to compile another book as a supplement.

"I hope that Mr. Takeshita will remember the old friendship between my Sakura and your Kako, and more or less give us some of your published or unpublished novels. I don't want to compile a high-quality anthology for you, I just ask you to let our company publish a book for you. "I know very well that the probability of the small society competing with the big shrine is very small Xiao Tian Jun, on the one hand, he listens to and believes his fiancée's side of the words, saying that her relationship with Xiangzi is still quite good, and she played the emotional card, on the other hand, she threw out the second set of plans that had been prepared in advance.

Thinking that this can be had, Takeshita Mustard is thinking, even if the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House publishes its own single book, it will only compile his representative works and some of the good works that they think are most in line with the market into a book. As for short story works like "Dark Sakura", it is difficult to get into their eyes.

However, after thinking about it again, he still had to wait for Wenyi Chunqiu to publish his first book before he could realistically consider such a second book, after all, the gimmick of his first book could not be preempted by a small publishing house like Trend. Otherwise, it will damage your direct economic income.

"There's no rush. As long as I have the opportunity, I am very happy to cooperate with your publishing house. "I haven't heard much from Kako Kitagawa about the past of Takeshita Kusa and Sakura Hanano, and the time she has lived here is not too short, and so far, this is the first time I've seen Sakura Hanano come to the door. This also includes the physical book copyright that came to ask him to sell some novels. If what I deduced was good, the relationship between the two of them might not be as intimate and good as Jun Oda said.

Seeing that he said things well, Jun Oda was also mentally prepared to come here often to run. I can't tell the difference, is it because of the presence of Sakai Chie that Takeshita Kusa is so cautious? It stands to reason that Hanano Sakura and Kitagawa Kako have a good relationship, so they can see the Buddha face without looking at the monk's face, and let themselves get some of his general works. Even if they only get the authorization of one of Takeshita Kusaoke's novels, it means that they can play the gimmick of "this year's Akutagawa Award winner" with a high gold content to attract the attention of the majority of readers.

"You're going to talk for a long time, huh? Are you still playing? Kitagawa Miyuki, who has been behaving very well and silently, did wait a little impatiently, and pursed her little mouth to suddenly tell what she was thinking.

Kitagawa Kako, who glared at her with a face, can only blame herself for not resolutely taking her away. It's not too late for her to make amends, and at the same time, she seduces her daughter's special gluttony: "You can play this game, but you don't want to play." Come on, let's go to the kitchen and get a fruit salad to eat. ”

Miyuki Kitagawa, who heard the last sentence, got up as soon as she lifted her fishing rod like a small fish that had firmly bitten the hook. Marly stood up and trotted happily to her mother's side, seemingly impatiently pushing her to hurry away, after all, fruit salad is also one of her favorite foods.

"Xiangzi, I'll help you." Hanano Sakura, who realized that her fiancé and Takeshita Kusabi had a bad relationship, even if there was a failure of Disney, she still had to continue to adopt the strategy of "curve to save the country" to attack Kako Kitagawa.

The living room left three people to go to the kitchen, and the three people were left to prepare for the second half of the battle. Jun Oda, who is quite anxious in his heart and wants to create a good performance, is repeatedly brewing in his mind how to impress Takeshita Kusaoke. On the contrary, Sakai Chie is not arrogant or impatient, and sits firmly on the Diaoyutai while watching the changes.

A series of "ding-dong" doorbells rang again. When she went to open the gate, she saw a man and a woman she had never met, and the woman was holding a gift for a guest on her right hand. I was about to ask them, but the man took the lead and took the initiative to introduce himself, indicating that they were the editor-in-chief and editor of Woodpecker Press. The purpose of the two of them was to congratulate Takeshita on winning the Akutagawa Prize, but in fact, it was also to fight for the copyright related to the compilation and distribution of his short and medium stories.
