Chapter 16: The Discipline Is Gone

"Absolutely." Xiaomi said slightly excitedly.

Although I know that the other party is just polite, after all, if I don't want to vote for them, then why look for her.

However, when he heard that the other party was very willing to sign a contract with him, Xiaomi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the other party hasn't said the phrase 'to sign a contract', the work will sell well, and everything will be just empty talk.

Although he is also full of confidence in "Sword Art Online", and Lun is also patting his chest over his work, even if it is an electric shock library, he can't find any opponent that can match, but only after the matter is over can he really relax.

"As for the signing issue, I would like to ask Mr. Jinglu whether he wants to sign a pen name or only sign a work."

Xiaomi is a little confused, is there any big difference in this?

Lun also saw that Xiaomi didn't know, and he had a headache, it seems that his friend is really new and needs the thighs of his own big guy.

Lun, who has been in the house circle for many years, naturally understands, so he explained it carefully to him.

After signing a pen name contract, the works of 'Kyoryū Lejia' can only be published in the deneki library, and you cannot vote your own works to others without the consent of the signatory.

As for the contract of the work, it refers to the contract of the work "Sword Art Online", and if the future work does not want to be published in the deneki library, then the work can also be published elsewhere.

It turns out that there is still this kind of operation, and the new Xiaomi said that it is really deep.

"Both contracts are brought, and the teacher can look at them before deciding how to sign them." Kagurazaka took out two contracts from his bag and handed them to Xiaomi.

It's about itself, Xiaomi rarely took a serious look at it.

"Then sign a pen name." After taking a closer look, he put down the contract, and then a sentence suddenly popped up.

After hearing the answer, Len was also a little worried, and Kagurazaka was a little curious.

"Although Mr. Jinglu is willing to sign a pen name, and we are very happy, but I still want to remind you that you really understand the two differences? It's almost impossible to change. ”

"Don't worry, I understand."

Anyway, there is no rule that a person can only have one pen name, and it is a big deal to get another one.

What's more, the royalty for signing a pen name is 15%, while the contract for a work is only two-thirds, 10%. Of course, Xiaomi said that it is definitely not greedy for the 5% royalty. Definitely not.

Am I the one who put down the festival for money? Am I that worldly? I'm such a disciplined person, absolutely not.

Xiaomi dialed a little abacus in his heart, remembering that "Sword Art Online" was a super best-selling work that sold 20 million copies in his own world. Even if the minimum price of each light novel is 500 yen, the sales volume will still be 20 million, which is 20 million × 500 yen× 5% = 500 million yen.

A pen name for 500 million yen, I feel very profitable. It's a big deal to change the pen name after writing this book, and the contract of the work must be written at least two copies before the contract is terminated, and the new work must also give priority to the provisions of the original contractor. There is no such worry when signing a pen name, after all, there are really few people who take the initiative to give up their famous pen name, so the signing party is also very relieved.

In fact, it is also normal, although there will be more restrictions on signing a pen name, but the conditions will definitely be better than signing a work contract.

But most authors still don't sign pen names, because once something happens, the popularity and readers they have accumulated will be emptied, and it will really be back before liberation.

On the other hand, if your pen name has a certain popularity and iron fans, even if the level of your works declines, you can rely on strong fans to have a good sales.

And if your work is targeted by the library.,It's a big deal to cut this work in half.,Just write a copy to them and then terminate the contract.,I'll change the library and continue to write.,Anyway, the pen name is my own.。

So for authors who have already become famous, a pen name can be said to be something more important than a work.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the signing of works is more recognized and welcomed by many authors than the signing of pen names.

It's a pity that all this doesn't matter to Xiaomi, there is a world of works in his head, even if he has only seen part of it, it is enough.

Anyway, since this pen name is popular because of a certain work, then I can also give another pen name and then sign it with a work of similar level. Xiaomi is confident in this.

Seeing that Xiaomi was so confident, Lun was not easy to persuade anything, and Kagurazaka expressed his happiness.

You must know that this one you signed is not a parallel import, but a newcomer with super potential, and signing a pen name basically locks him in his library.

It's a pity that whether it's Lunya's worry or Kagurazaka's happiness, they underestimate someone's degree of indiscipline.

"May I ask the Kagurazaka editor, when will my work be published, and my first volume will be completed in about two days and handed over to you."

Kagurazaka was stunned for a moment, "I may have to wait a minute for you to wait on this, we only had a publishing meeting last week, and we will probably hold another meeting next week, and I will go to apply for publication at that time." If you're done, teacher, send it to me in the next two days, and I'll help the teacher revise it. ”

"Okay, then I'll trouble Kagurazaka editors."

In this regard, Xiaomi also heard Lun probably said that the relationship between the author and his own responsible editor is a relationship of co-prosperity and loss, the author's work is good, the author's income can be increased, and the editor's performance and bonuses will also increase, and vice versa.

Therefore, the editor will also help the author's work to check, of course, it is generally to put forward opinions, correct typos, and see if there are any disciplinary violations.

Of course, with the experience of most editors and the grasp of readers' tastes, they can also give some good advice and inspiration to the author.

So Xiaomi has no opinion on Kagurazaka to change his work, after all, he always has to give people the opportunity to show his professional level, otherwise he is despising others, which shows that people are incompetent.

"Well, let's finish our work now." Millet said.

"Of course." Kagurazaka was a little curious about what this peculiar boy wanted to do?

"Boss, another tiramisu cake and jam. Thank you Kagurazaka editors for the treat, I'm welcome. "Xiaomi is very happy, it is rare to have a big head to invite a treat, so naturally I want to satisfy the other party, and I have always been helpful.

Lun moved away a little quietly, and the corners of Kagurazaka's mouth twitched a few times, and then resisted the urge to kill the person in front of him with a hint of a smile, "Of course, please feel free." ”

Sure enough, I'm a person full of discipline! It's like your own appetite.
