Chapter IV Signing
Jingle bell ~ jingle bell ~
The old phone ringing makes people who are sleeping have the urge to go to sleep even more.
turned over, and Lin Yi, who finally found his mobile phone, pressed the answer button.
"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Qiu Zhiyu? I'm Machida Enko, the editor of the Immortal River Bunko, do you have time now? ”
Lin Yi, who saw the first volume of spring things from the first volume to the fourth volume in one go, obviously does not have the energy to deal with this so-called library editor.
Well? Library editors?
"Hello, is there anything you want me to do?"
I must be discussing the contract, right? If you sign a contract, it's not far from going on sale, right? After the release, you will be able to approach the senpai in the proper name!
The ruby eyes and the sultry black silk stockings......
"Well, a few days ago, Mr. Qiu Zhiyu, you submitted a manuscript to our library, right? Do you remember this? ”
"Yes."
"Yours is very interesting, so we decided to publish it, and now I want to ask if you have time to come out, and some things are better to talk about in person."
"No problem, tell me the location and I'll come over now." It's been a long time since I've worn my clothes, and now that I'm suddenly wearing them, Lin Yi's appearance looks a little funny.
"I'm so embarrassed, I'd better choose a place for me!" Machida Yuanzi is determined to sign the contract this time, and for this reason, she also dressed up in spirit.
[I hope to have a good impression in front of Mr. Qiu Zhiyu!] 】
In fact, Lin Yi's purpose is completely to become a best-selling home as soon as possible, as for signing a contract or something, the fundamental reason for choosing Immortal River is because Kasumigaoka Shiyu has a clear purpose, and he didn't even think about getting any benefits for himself in the contract.
"Well, there's a pretty good café a little down the road from Toyonosaki School, so let's make an appointment there."
"Okay, see you in ten minutes!"
"Well, no problem."
It's one o'clock in the afternoon now, and Yuan is playing Hache on the side, and it didn't sleep early last night, maybe it was a little earlier than Lin Yi, and this guy directly used the sofa in the living room as a bed, and didn't care about whether it had any impact on Lin Yi or something.
"Do you need me to follow you?"
Lin Yi, who was tidying up his clothes next to the floor-to-ceiling mirror, glanced over, "No need!" If there is even someone in this world who can break the defense, it doesn't make sense for you to follow me. ”
Anyway, he can walk on his arm, even if he is hit by a car, he is also the existence of a car flying, and in this kind of world where the force value is extremely low, people still have to follow, so Lin Yi doesn't have to mix.
After catching a taxi in high spirits, in less than five minutes, he arrived at the café that often appeared in the original book.
It is said that it is a café, but it is actually just a shop that resembles a family restaurant.
There is just a huge café sign erected outside the store, and when you enter the door, you will see two drink dispensers that can be used to receive drinks freely.
After turning left and randomly finding a corner to sit down, he began to wait quietly.
The beautiful boy still has preferential treatment in this era, and in less than five minutes, three waitresses have accosted him, trying to get his contact information.
In addition, in this world, white hair is a relatively rare existence, but Lin Yi's perfect side face and white hair color do not have any sense of disobedience, but make people feel that he was born like this.
His golden eyes cast out the window on the cars coming and going.
Finally, the savior is here!
Machida Aenko stepped out of a cab and hurried into the café, her neat short hair hanging from her ears, her body-fitting suit, and a brown document bag in her hand.
Just when she picked up her mobile phone and was about to contact Lin Yi again, Lin Yi was already waving to her on the side.
"Teacher Qiu Zhiyu?" She asked tentatively.
This embarrassing pseudonym......
Lin Yi nodded reluctantly, and Machida Yuanzi showed twelve points of enthusiasm, and walked quickly to the chair opposite Lin Yi and sat down.
"Hello!"
Facing the other party's generous stretch of hand, Lin Yi grabbed it directly and shamelessly, and pinched it by the way.
Yuanzi quickly withdrew his little hand as if he had been electrocuted, "Teacher Qiu Zhiyu, how much do you know about our library?" ”
It's not a straightforward inquiry, it looks more decent.
Lin Yi said directly, "You are here to talk to me about the matter, then let's talk about it, I only have one requirement for this aspect, that is, to release it in the fastest time." ”
"I know that the inspection of the market is very important for the family, but when it comes to earnings, ......"
"I'm not short of money." Lin Yi rudely interrupted Yuanzi's words, "Miss Machida, right?" Well, I guess I've shown my sincerity, and I don't believe that such a cute girl would cheat on me as a rookie writer. ”
"There......"
It turns out that there is still a certain advantage in being handsome, at least Yuanzi did not tentatively take out the low-level contracts that were originally prepared, but directly put the best contract in front of Lin Yi, and by the way, he also put the pen on the contract.
The swaying Lin signed his name with a few strokes.
Yoshitake Yuki, this is the name on Lin Yi's ID card, because his ID card itself was provided to him by the source when he entered this world.
It's also a very popular name, orphan origin is a basic operation, and then the place of birth is completely reasonable and legal things that can be checked.
"What a beautiful word!"
"Thanks for the compliment."
Machida Enko looked at Lin Yi, who pushed the contract in front of her, and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to take a look?" ”
"No, I still believe in you, I just hope mine will be published soon."
"This is the second time you've mentioned it! We will definitely respect your opinions, by the way, do you have any requirements for publication? ”
Lin Yi let go of his hand and shook his head very casually, "No." ”
"What about publicity?"
The sale of the public, with publicity and without publicity, are completely two concepts, which are related to popularity and sales.
If you don't have popularity, no one will look at you at all.
Even if you're of very good quality and interesting, just because no one knows about it doesn't mean no one buys it.
How much to print is also a big question.
"I think you'll do a good job of that, right?" Lin Yi said a little teasingly, he felt that as long as the Immortal Chuan Library was not a fool, he would help him do a good job in publicity.
The sale is no small thing.
There is still correction in the early stage, and a series of problems in market evaluation have to be dealt with, plus Lin Yi is a rookie writer, so he pressed down "Love Metronome", and Teacher Xia Shizi was not very easy to explain.
But these things are generally something that Machida Enko needs to consider.
Lin Yi made it clear that he wanted to release it as soon as possible, and a series of things were completely entrusted to her.
It's a lot of pressure.
"You're so cunning, leave all these things to me, do you believe me that way?"
"There is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is used."
"Sure enough, it is worthy of Teacher Qiu Zhiyu, then it is decided, in the early stage, our Immortal Chuan Library will help you do publicity, but in the subsequent commission, you need to pay an additional fee."
"Ordinary propaganda shouldn't need to be like this, right?"
Lin Yi crossed his hands on the table and stared at Machida Yuanzi.
It is indeed unnecessary, but if it is only publicized on an ordinary scale, it will not reach the expected level at all.
A lot of things still need to be fermented.
When a book really becomes popular, there will naturally be fans who will spontaneously help promote it, and starting from scratch is the most difficult.
Machida Enko blushed a little from Lin Yi's gaze, and under the bright lights of the café, she couldn't hide it at all.
She explained, "Because we want to make you the main feature of the quarter, we will probably try to be as big as possible in terms of publicity. ”
"What if I pay for an extra promotion?"
"Can you tell me what kind of effect you want to achieve?"
"Everybody knows?"
Machida Enko shook her head, it was too difficult.
"Most of the otaku or otaku can understand."
"This is okay, as long as it is combined with some other well-known game companies to do joint promotion, although the initial investment is larger, but this can be done, but it is ...... in terms of funds."
Lin Yi slapped a bank card on the table, "There are about 90 million yen in this, is it enough?" ”
"It doesn't need to be like this! As long as we take a portion of your manuscript fee later, it's fine. Machida Enko finally understood the meaning of the other party's explanation that there was no shortage of money.
A person who can shoot so much money in one go doesn't look like a person who is short of money.
And talking to such people is the easiest, because this group is not bad for money!
"Then I'll leave it all to you, Machida-san."
"Well, it's a pleasure to work with, and besides, I'll be your editor-in-charge in the future."
The excitement in her eyes was irrepressible, as if she had seen the birth of a best-selling author.
"A little off-topic, is your second volume finished?"
"Ahem, that ...... I'm a lazy person, so let's ......" In fact, Lin Yi wanted to say that he patronized it last night, but then he actually didn't write much.
In the beginning, the interval between the first and second volumes of the writer is very short.
It's probably a matter of a few weeks.
"Well, when will you finish the second volume?"
"If I wanted to, maybe two days would be enough." The second volume is a little more than the first, but not much, about two days is enough.
Lin Yi copied it completely, and he didn't even need to revise it.
"Well, then please finish the second volume as soon as possible, and when the time comes, you can warm up the promotion of the second volume."
"Okay."
This cooperation can be said to be a win-win situation, and Lin Yi also has a side knock on the side about Xia Shizi in the back.
As a result, it attracted a burst of ridicule from Machida.
The woman's intuition seemed to be particularly accurate, and she guessed the reason why Lin Yi would choose the Immortal Chuan Bunku.
"It's because of Kasumi Shizi that you chose to submit your manuscript in the Immortal River Library, right?"
