"Sure enough, it's a newbie. With such a large amount, it is not something that can be decided by a simple meeting like ours! Well, well, since you have completed the original manuscript, then this is fine. ”

Looking at Li Chenxing's several stacks of manuscripts on the table, Kagurazaka editor just picked up the first volume and began to read it carefully.

"If you don't have a proposal, it's quite unfriendly to the editor, and even though there's a finished draft, if it's boring, I'll shoot at the beginning of the reading!"

While looking at the manuscript, the Kagurazaka editor imparted knowledge to Li Chenxing.

Time passed little by little, and after reading about three volumes of manuscripts, this submission has finally passed, and it seems that even if the world is changed, a masterpiece is a masterpiece, and it can still attract readers.

"I've read the manuscript in general, and it's basically online, are the copyrights of your works in your own hands? If there is a contract with another library? ”

The Kagurazaka editor put the manuscript back on the table and asked Li Chenxing in a different posture.

"I didn't pass the manuscript anywhere else, so there was no problem with copyright."

"That's fine, then you can sign this contract now."

Kagurazaka editor's parlor walked out and came back with a contract and handed it to Li Chenxing.

Although he didn't understand the contract very well, Li Chenxing still pretended to read the contract page by page, and finally signed his name at the end of the contract. The bank card number for receiving the manuscript fee was naturally from Kobayashi.

"Kagurazaka-sama, I'm not very embarrassed, but can I advance the manuscript fee for the next issue?"

"Naturally, there is no problem with this, but because you are a newbie, we can't give too high a price, and in general, the first month's manuscript fee is evaluated according to the response of the monthly magazine, but if you want to advance, you can only take the minimum standard."

"I'm really bothering you......"

The manuscript fee of Japanese light novel writers is generally about 50 to 180 yuan, and if you talk about the exchange rate, it is only 50 yen, but in fact, it is only 3 yuan, which seems to be really pitiful. However, light novel authors generally don't make money by this.,Generally speaking,Light novels will be published in a single book after the completion of the magazine serialization.,This is the bulk of the money.,Generally speaking, the manuscript fee for a single book is based on the percentage of book sales.。 Generally speaking, as long as the work is not cut in half during the serialization process, the author can generally live a well-off life with royalties.

For example, the author Tanigawa Ryu, who has sold a total of 8.5 million copies of the "Suzumiya Haruhi" series, has earned nearly 600 million yen in royalties according to the royalty standard of 70 yen per copy, which is equivalent to 6.19 million yen per month for Tanigawa Ryu to earn at home by writing light novels in the eight years since it was published.

In addition, there are various competitions in the magazine, and if you can get a place, then the benefits of adapting anime, radio dramas, etc., will follow, and these are the bulk of the royalties, and the basic income of the more successful light novel authors is at the level of 10 million yen. However, these are very far away for Li Chenxing, and now Li Chenxing is just a newcomer, and these benefits are too far away for him.

The speed of the editorial office is also very fast, although it is an advance payment, but it is still very fast, and the manuscript fee in hand is not much.

Because I haven't started serialization yet.,So I can only get the manuscript fee for the first volume.,According to the standard of light novels, it's about 100,000 words.,Successfully got 5,000 yen of manuscript fees.,As for the manuscript fee after that.,If the novel serialization goes smoothly and isn't cut in half.,Every month it will be remitted to the bank card filled in before.。

"Then I took my leave......

Li Chenxing, who got the money, walked out of the publishing house happily, although the money in hand was not much, but it was also a good start for Li Chenxing's plan. Although there are already all kinds of excellent works in this world, but those masterpieces on the earth are not bad at all, Li Chenxing is ready to start with light novels as a starting point, and begin to lay out the ACG field, as long as he obtains a certain amount of funds, he will begin to develop into comics and animation industries, no matter in that world, the entertainment industry is always full of gold mines.

Not to mention that this world doesn't even have the three major migrant animation that can be serialized for decades, if Li Chenxing has a heart, as long as he accumulates enough funds, he can completely stand on his own and become a top publishing house. However, this kind of troublesome and laborious thing Li Chenxing just thinks about it, as long as he gets enough fame, and then throws out the works one by one, although he may be shared by the publishing house, but the advantage is to save trouble, as an author, as long as he is responsible for providing good works, it is enough, and the publishing house will naturally settle other cumbersome things for you.

And good works have no problem with Li Chenxing at all, especially in another world, the original author does not exist at all, and Li Chenxing does not have any psychological pressure when plagiarizing.

It's just that the manuscript fee is obviously not enough for the rest of his life, so after walking out of the publishing house, Li Chenxing found an antique shop on the street and sold some handicrafts that were looted by Li Chenxing in the vault of that bank with gold bars.

After that, Li Chenxing kept wandering on the street. There's still a lot of time left, and there's no need to rush back.

When wandering the streets, Li Chenxing found a café called "Angel Coffee", to be honest, Li Chenxing has not entered the café, most of the cafes in China are the same as fast food restaurants, there is no atmosphere at all, and even some cities only have Starbucks, a chain café similar to KFC, looking at this quaint decoration, it doesn't seem to be the kind of maid café that Li Chenxing expected, but it is rare to pass by the café, although it is not necessarily consumed, but it is okay to go in and see it.

Unlike the fast-food restaurants of the Celestial Empire, this café is very quiet, but this is the atmosphere it should be, and drinking coffee is to enjoy this quiet and elegant petty bourgeois atmosphere.

"Here you ......"

A beautiful girl with blond hair said to Li Chenxing in a black girl's dress. The girl has long blond and silky hair, but it seems that it has a lot of hair because it is not well cared for. The facial features are very exquisite, but with that lazy expression and heavy dark circles, it looks like a dead fat house addicted to games.

"I'm sorry, but this kid is an international student and isn't very familiar with Japanese."

A middle-aged man with a kind face and a mustache and a housekeeper uniform standing next to the girl looked like the owner of this café, and said apologetically to Li Chenxing.

"Excuse me, can you order?"

Li Chenxing sat on the empty seat next to him and shouted at the blonde girl.

"Can I have a drink of your signature here?" After all, it's the first time coming. ”

"Oh, good ......"

The blonde girl, as if writing something in a small notebook, walked towards the counter.

"This guest, I'm sorry, can I order once?"

After a while, the shopkeeper came over and said to Li Chenxing apologetically.

"Oh, it's okay, can you get me a drink of your signature here? After all, it's the first time coming. ”

Listening to Li Chenxing's words, the store manager seemed to have turned on some terrible switch, straightened his bow tie with his hand and said to Li Chenxing.

"When it comes to the sign, choose the blended coffee."

"Actually, I'm quite confident in blended coffee. In order to balance the taste and aroma, I use five kinds of coffee beans, and in order to flexibly match their flavors, we have put a lot of effort into blending, and the coffee beans are always selected from the place of origin, and I personally purchase them every time......

The manager blends various coffee beans as he introduces them, grinding them by hand, and the aroma of coffee spreads throughout the café.

"Please."

Looking at the coffee handed over by the store manager, Li Chenxing picked up the quilt and took a sip. Although I don't have the habit of drinking coffee, the taste of this cup of coffee is not only mellow, but also smoother than the instant coffee I drink every day.

"It's a good coffee."

While sipping coffee, and then ordering a few snacks, Li Chenxing leisurely spent an afternoon in the café, which was really a peaceful daily life......
