Chapter 39: I suggest you take a look at this first
"Huh? Good! Ishisaka Mayu was taken aback, and then immediately reacted, and hurriedly said after pulling his messy hair to his ears, "This time I mainly want to sign a writing contract with Mr. Takenaka, and if your work can maintain the same level as the first volume in the subsequent content, then even if we don't win the first prize in the newcomer award, we will still publish it." ”
Taku Takenaka was also a little surprised, he really felt that the editor called him because he was optimistic about himself, but he didn't expect the editorial department to be so optimistic about himself. He remembered that the current volume of the Qingjiao Library is not small, as long as it is a book with high enough sales, it can be directly and easily changed, so it should not be so important to his own books.
Besides, this work of his literary copyist is a bit special, and it can be regarded as a rather slow-burning type, and the plot of the first volume is not too brilliant compared to the later ones, so it shouldn't have received so much attention. Could it be that there are also traversers in this Qingjiao library, and you will know what you will think about after looking at the beginning?
Mayu Ishisaka seemed to see that he was hesitant, so he added with a wry smile: "Mr. Takenaka, you really don't need to worry too much, I have just been promoted to the editor in charge, and I need to be in charge of a work that can be suppressed." ”
Takuto Takenaka held his chin and thought for a moment, if the editor was willing to reveal the details to himself, he would already have great respect for himself. Although my writing level can only be regarded as a midstream level, I can't stand the quality of the works that have been copied by the copyist high enough, and even if I only write the outline, it is enough to attract countless people, and this kind of thing is really incomprehensible.
So he was a little puzzled and said: "Editor Ishizaka, there are a lot of excellent works in the newcomer awards, so there's probably no need to just stare at me." ”
Even if you don't need to look at the page of the big prize, Taku Takenaka knows that what those who have submitted for five or six years in a row may not be much worse. His writing level is not worse than that of professionals, even if the plot is relatively excellent, he will not be taken by people at a glance if he does not have a glamorous appearance.
And Ishisaka Mayuki just picked up the library book placed in front of her from the table and gently handed it to Taku Takenaka, with "Angel Sister and Demon Sister" written on it. She then took out two or three library books from the drawer of her desk that also depicted a young and beautiful girl on the cover, and handed them to Taku Takenaka.
He took a look, the format of the names of these books is almost the same, basically either a different world type, or a pure Japanese-style YY novel, casually flipped through the content inside, and couldn't help it after a few glances, this kind of thing is used to wipe the buttocks, and it is estimated that some people are dirty.
Seeing that he had roughly flipped through the books, Ishisaka Mayuki spoke again: "Most of the books published in the library over the past year are similar to each other, and the market has gradually expressed its dislike for this type of book, so if there is an excellent science fiction work at this time...... It may be able to do something you didn't expect. ”
Her expression was a little serious this time, and Taku Takenaka couldn't help but get serious with her.
But he doesn't have any lofty ambitions to write a book after all, to put it bluntly, it's just for a good meal, if he can really earn hundreds of thousands of yen a month by writing a book, then he can simply not work in the future, and just use the time of his part-time job to study, although he is a little sorry for Dr. Sugino, but he can leave it for later.
Now I am just a student, but as long as I can be successfully admitted to the Department of Political Science and Law of Tokyo University, then even if the future is promising, I will not be at the same level as I am now, and maybe there will be countless people who will come to ask me for help.
Besides, learning is slow and meticulous, and he can't become a fat man in one breath, and now he can basically finish a workbook every week, but it takes much time to organize his notes, and it also takes a week.
An exercise book costs at least a thousand yen, which means that Taku Takenaka will spend thousands of yen a week on this, and if he doesn't make more money to come back, it is estimated that he will have to rely on shrinking clothes and dieting to learn.
High school is the age of physical growth, although he is now more than 1.7 meters, which is considered to be the upper average level among his peers, but if he eats such a broken thing every day, I am afraid that he will not grow 1.8 meters, and it will be too late to regret it at that time.
"Editor Ishisaka, does this contract refer to a royalty-sharing contract?" Taku Takenaka paused, then tapped his fingers on the table, unconsciously raised his head, and looked at Mayu Ishizaka, "I don't have any plans to write full-time at the moment, and I only plan to look at writing as a part-time job in the future, so if I sign a full-time contract casually, I think it's irrational behavior." ”
Taku Takenaka doesn't want to be fooled into signing a deed of sale for some reason, the ghost knows what tricks the neon group of capitalists will play, in case he finds out that the contract requires 100,000 words to be handed over every month after signing the contract, then he doesn't have to go to school, just write a novel at home.
Besides, he himself is not a talented creator, and at present, he is just counting on making some quick money by copying the public, and in the future, he will forget about those works in his previous life a little bit, then he estimates that Jiang Lang is exhausted, or only learning can be regarded as the right way, these strange skills and tricks are absolutely unacceptable.
"Ah, that's right." Somewhat nervously, Ishisaka Shinyu pulled out a printed contract from under the table, and then handed it to Taku Takenaka.
Taku Takenaka glanced at it, the terms written on it were reasonable, he shook the contract, and he didn't see anything hidden on it, and gently buckled the last clause with his fingernails, and didn't find anything else. Such a large company probably doesn't need to pit itself, but it's better to be careful.
Seeing that he hadn't agreed for a long time, Ishizaka Mayu said with some trepidation: "Mr. Takenaka, take a look at it." This royalty contract is only for your current work, and the royalty is 11.5%, which is the average level of a well-known writer, but the company hopes that you will choose our library if you want to adapt your work into other forms in the future. ”
She has been guided by Taku Takenaka on the topic.,As a result, I forgot to ask about the outline and setting.,Taku Takenaka smiled.,Then took out the file bag from the bag.,It contained several pages of A4 paper densely printed with text.,These are the plots and settings he restored according to his only remaining memories.,It took a lot of effort.,The results are quite gratifying.,Didn't let him down.。
He solemnly handed it to Ishisaka Mayuki and said, "Editor Ishisaka, you'd better take a look at this first, and then we'll talk about other things next." ”
