Before coming, Ji Kong actually had some understanding of the income of light novel authors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As far as he knows, the average light novel author has a commission of about 50 yen per novel, which is actually quite a lot.

Even if a light novel writer writes very slowly, only one volume is published every six months, and the results are not good, only 30,000 copies of each volume are printed.

In this way, there are 250,000 yen a month, about 16,000 yuan.

And the more famous light novel writers, the commission for each book is about 100 yen!

Generally speaking, the authors who achieve this kind of commission will have one or two published and animated best-selling novels, at least until then.

As for newcomers, it's almost impossible to even think about it, and it's hard to reach this level even if you're a popular writer who has won the Newcomer Award.

After all, being able to get such a generous commission, in addition to a significant increase in income, symbolizes that I have become a master in the light novel industry!

Therefore, when Kazuchi Suzuki gave a commission of 100 yen per book, even with Ji Kong's usual calm heart, he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "100 yen?!" ”

Ji Kong's reaction was of course very surprising, but Suzuki Kazuchi didn't know Ji Kong's living situation, let alone think that the commission of 100 yen per book would be a lot for Ji Kong.

As an upper-class figure, Suzuki Kazuchi has a very sharp eye, and a few days ago he accompanied his son to visit a Zegna men's clothing store, and the expensive clothes emptied his wallet at the same time, but also gave him a lot of knowledge.

At least he could recognize that the shirt Ji Kong was wearing was UpperCasual, a sub-brand of Zegna's men's clothing series, which focuses on extreme luxury and casual elegance, and the price was about two million yen.

Walking on the road, it is possible to meet a robber who knows the goods, and it is possible to be knocked unconscious and stripped naked!

Before, Suzuki Kazuchi may have been a little suspicious of Ji Kong's identity, but now there is no slightest doubt in his heart, after all, without a certain identity and background, he can't afford to wear this kind of clothes.

And people who can afford to wear such expensive clothes care about the "small money" of 100 yen per book?

Living in the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, Kazuchi Suzuki knows too well how many rich and powerful people are hidden in this city known for its high consumption and prosperity.

The commission of 100 yen per novel may be a huge amount of money for the average light novel author, but for those rich second generations, it is also called money?!

Looking at the current appearance of Mr. Kong, although he only said one sentence, his dissatisfaction was already overflowing, as if he was saying...... 100 yen per book? This also counts as money? You're embarrassed to say!

Although the commission of 100 yen per novel is already an exceptional price increase, if the other party is unhappy, it means that he has not done a good thing, and someone blames him, and he can't help it!

Suzuki Kazuchi became more and more aware that people don't really care much about money, but if you give less, you look down on people.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "150 yen per book, Mr. Sora, this is already the limit price, it really can't be more, don't look at the price of each light novel is nearly 600 yen, but in addition to the printing fee, publicity fee, staff salary, and the share of other bookstores, in fact, our company can't make much ...... at all."

Kazuchi Suzuki can't help but be careful, after all, Harada's experience is there, and he doesn't want to be invited to tea by the National Security Agency.

In the final analysis, he is just working for others, and there is no need to put his net worth and life into it for others.

However, what he didn't know was that Ji Kong was overjoyed when he heard this price, and immediately agreed without hesitation, "The share of 150 yen per book, then it's decided!" By the way, in terms of publicity and promotion, ......"

"Teacher this point, please rest assured, we will definitely mobilize all channels and do our best to promote Sword Art Online."

Kazuchi Suzuki agreed without hesitation.

With a share of 150 yen per copy, "Sword Art Online" can't make much money for their company in terms of physical book sales, and it can even be said that it is not bad if it doesn't lose money.

Now he only has to focus on merchandise, animation, and games.

And if you want to adapt anime and games, strong publicity is essential!

How did he know that his idea had just risen, and Ji Kong said: "If Sword Art Online is going to adapt the game or animation, I hope you can discuss it with me in advance, and in addition, I also have a certain cooperation with the game of the Legendary Era." ”

The reason why such a condition is put forward is because in Ji Kong's impression, there are many large IPs that have been changed beyond recognition.

In order to make money as soon as possible, the company makes things that are completely shoddy, and it is simply overdrawing the potential vitality of a work!

And in the face of Ji Kong's request, what else can Kazuchi Suzuki say?

In short, you are happy!

However, after thinking about it for a while, he still said with a serious face: "I can agree to Teacher Kong's request, but I also have a reluctant request here. ”

Ji Kong nodded, "Mr. Suzuki, you say." ”

"Mr. Kong, we have no objection to updating the WEB version on Tieba, but can you please slow down the update speed of Sword Art Online?"

In the face of Suzuki Kazuchi's request, Ji Kong can be said to be a little unexpected, after all, in his previous life, when he read online novels, he asked for the update as fast as possible, how could anyone ask for a slow update?

Kazuchi Suzuki obviously saw Ji Kong's doubts and explained: "With your current update speed, even if the novel "Sword Art Online" has more than a dozen volumes, then it will be able to be updated in less than half a year, but at that time, it is estimated that the first phase of the animation is still in the planning, not to mention the periphery." ”

"In this way, when the last episode of the "Sword Art Online" animation comes out, it is estimated that it will be several years later, and at that time, fans' interest in "Sword Art Online" has also worn out a lot, which can be said to be very unfavorable to the sales of animation and peripherals."

After listening to Suzuki Kazuchi's explanation, Ji Kong nodded with some sudden understanding.

There are still many differences between Japanese light novels and Chinese online novels, and one of the bigger ones is that the probability of light novels being animated is much higher!

The sales of light novels and animations are mutually supportive:

The sales of light novels are good, which can naturally drive more people to buy animation BD, and the popularity of animation can bring more popularity to light novels ("RE0" is the best example, originally "RE0" novel sales were very poor, but after animation, I won't talk about that popularity...... ）

"So Mr. Suzuki, how often do I update the volume?" Ji Kong asked.

"A month!"

Kazuchi Suzuki pointed out a finger and said, "This is already the limit of the limit, if Sora-sensei's manuscript has the weight of a volume, then we will immediately start animating it from the moment we sign the contract!" ”

"No problem, in three days, I'll send you the contents of the first volume!"

Ji Kong nodded in agreement, then stood up, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Then Suzuki, editor, I wish us a happy cooperation in the future." ”

Kazuchi Suzuki was smiling on his face, but he was crying in his heart: "Happy cooperation!" ”
