All beautiful girls want to post with me

"Hello. Excuse me, is this editor Yukinoshita?"

"Yes, may I ask if you are... eh?"

Yukinoshita Yoshino replied subconsciously, but he didn't expect that when he turned his head to look, he saw a beautiful girl with short hair as flawless as snow and beautiful eyes like a pair of pink gemstones.

Her exquisite cheeks with a hint of greenness made people unable to help but feel a pity in their hearts.

"Little sister, what can I do for you?"

Yukinoshita Yoshino calmed down his emotions, and asked with a smile.But I couldn't help shouting in my heart, which cutie is this, who looks so young and moist? ! ! !

Hequan Qinhai smiled slightly:

"We met for the first time, editor Yukinoshita. I am the Izumi Ki who contacted you yesterday. My real name is Izumi Kotokai. Are you my editor in charge? Please advise me."

"You are Mr. Izumi tree?!"

Yukinoshita Yoshino, who has always been calm and composed, couldn't help shouting in the corridor when he knew that the beautiful girl with a smooth face in front of him was actually the author of "Sword Art Online" Izumi.

"Yes." Hequan Qinhai said with a smile.

By the way, he also took out his mobile phone, and showed his personal interface on Dengeki Bunko's official website to Yukinoshita Yono.

Yukinoshita Yoshino gave himself a few seconds to accept this fact, then raised a confident smile again, and said to Izumi Qinhai:

"Hello, Mr. Izumi, I am also here, please give me more advice. Let's talk in the cubicle first."

Yukinoshita Yoshino brought Hequan Qinhai to the cubicle specially set up by the editorial department. These cubicles are specially used for conversations between editors and authors. An old author who is racking his brains with the editor to think about how to write the latest volume.

Yukinoshita Yoshino and Izumi Qinhai came to the innermost compartment, the printed contract and two cups of steaming tea were already placed on the table.

After Hequan Qinhai sat down, Yukinoshita Yonokai opened the chair, sat down by himself, and said to Hequan Qinhai who was sitting in front of him:

"I asked Izumi-sensei to come over today. I just want to talk to you in detail about the signing of "Sword Art Online". I think, Izumi-sensei, you should have seen the hot results of "Sword Art Online" yesterday, right?"

Hequan Qinhai nodded and said with a smile:

"After uploading the entire volume yesterday, I didn't care about it. I played the game for half a day until you, editor Yukinoshita, called me. After talking to you on the phone, I went to the official website to read "Sword and Sword" The popularity of God's Domain. To be honest, when I saw it with my own eyes, I was taken aback. 180 million popularity, this is something I didn't even dare to think about before publishing the book."

"This morning, the popularity of "Sword Art Online" on Dengeki Bunko's official website is still rising. It is estimated that it will exceed 200 million popularity in a week at most. Let me congratulate Mr. Izumi here first."

Yukinoshita Yoshino said, and put the A-level contract in front of Hequan Qinhai.

"Yesterday afternoon, editor-in-chief Hiratsuka held a meeting specifically for "Sword Art Online", and finally signed a contract grade for you, Izumi-sensei. If the sales volume of the booklet is hot after publication, this A-level contract will be released later. Upgrade to an S-class contract."

Hequan Qinhai nodded, and then began to look through the prepared A-level contract.

"Before talking about signing the contract, I have a few questions in my mind, can I ask Izumi-sensei to answer them for me?" Yukinoshita Yoshino asked.

"Of course." Hequan Qinhai nodded, put down the contract in his hand, and looked at Yukinoshita Yono.

"Mr. Izumi...how old are you this year?"

Yukinoshita Yoshino asked a question that she had been curious about since yesterday afternoon. Hearing Hequan Qinhai's voice, she thought it was a young girl.It can be seen that after meeting, she is indeed young, but the point is, this is too young!

She looks about the same age as her younger sister.

"I'm 16 years old. I won't be considered an official high school student until school starts a few days later." Hequan Qinhai said his age without a trace of concealment.

16 years old? !

Yukinoshita Yang felt that it was lucky that he didn't drink tea just now, otherwise, he would definitely spit it out.

To be able to write such a powerful light novel as "Sword Art Online" at the age of 16 is beyond the description of a genius, it is simply a creative monster with extraordinary talent!

Although it is relatively common for high school students to write novels, it is really rare for high school students with mature and strong writing skills like Izumi Qinhai.

Or rather, unprecedented!

The book "Sword Art Online", whether it is the plot or the setting, is undoubtedly the pioneer of a new genre.It's hard to imagine that such a powerful light novel was written by a girl who officially became a high school student after the summer vacation.

Yukinoshita Yono had only one high school author who was so good at writing light novels before, and that was Kasumigaoka Shiwa.

Now there is another one, Hequan Qinhai.

"From the settings to the characters to the plot of "Sword Art Online", are you and Izumi-sensei all independently created by you?"

"I created it independently." Hequan Qinhai nodded as a matter of course.

"May I ask Mr. Izumi, have you had any experience in publishing novels before?"

"No, Chun Mengxin." Hequan Qinhai looked directly at Yokino Yukinoshita, and said without a hint of guilt.

"Has anyone in your family ever engaged in the field of literary creation?"

"No, my father is the head of a company, and my mother is a full-time housewife. I also have a younger sister who is still in junior high school." Hequan Qinhai said calmly.

After asking all the questions in my heart and getting Izumi's answer.Yukinoshita Yangnai opened his mouth, and couldn't help taking a deep breath in his heart.

A 16-year-old female high school student is writing a light novel for the first time, and there is no elder who is also a writer at home to give guidance and help.

Without any writing experience, I wrote "Sword Art Online" directly.

The genius is by my side? !

Chapter 13 The Sincere Dengeki Bunko

Yukinoshita Yoshino's inquiry was just an episode, Hequan Qinhai lowered his head, carefully looked at the contract in his hand, kept silent, and only occasionally reached out to take a sip of the tea next to him.

Hequan Qinhai was quite satisfied with the price given by Dengeki Bunko.

The price to buy each manuscript volume is 3200 yen per thousand words, and the total number of words in the first volume of "Sword Art Online" is 27 words.

In terms of conversion, selling the manuscript of Volume 1 to Dengeki Bunko can bring Izumi Kotokai at least 86 yen in royalties.

This is just the guarantee fee for selling each volume of manuscripts.

This does not include the revenue share after the light novel is published, as well as the surrounding copyright fees.

The publishing schemes of the light novel industry are roughly the same. The most common way for a light novel is to publish a booklet, and the first batch of booklets are limited to the first print.When buying the book, the book will also come with a limited episode written by the author specially for the first time.

For some readers who are keen to buy light novels, when their favorite light novels are announced, the first thing they do is to go to the bookstore to order the first edition limited edition.

Then there is the special edition, which is often the treatment only available to light novels that sell well after two or three volumes are published.

The special edition light novel, as the name suggests, will have a different cover from the normal edition, and will also have a special book box packaging.There are also one or two peripherals of the characters in the book, such as key chains, badges, small acrylic stands and other small peripherals.

The last is the deluxe limited edition. Compared with the special edition, the cover, book box packaging, and price of the deluxe limited edition will be different. There will also be more small peripherals, such as backpacks, posters, and mice. Pad a class of perimeter.

The prices of the special edition and deluxe limited edition booklets are determined only after the plan is made.There is no specific price for reference, so Izumi Kotohai did not rush to think about this matter, but first considered how much income the library's single volume could bring him.

It is clearly stated in the A-level contract that the author will share with Dengeki Bunko 64 the profits obtained after publishing the monograph.

To put it simply, the author gets 6, Dengeki Bunko gets 4.

The price of a single book of a light novel is generally 630 yen per book.According to 64 points, every time you sell a copy, you can get a share income of 378 yen.

"The distribution ratio of income sharing is only temporary. If the first volume of "Sword Art Online" can be stabilized on the best-seller list for a year, the income sharing ratio can be raised to 1%." Yukinoshita Yona for Izumi Qin Hai explained.

Hequan Qinhai nodded in understanding. After all, although his current "Sword Art Online" is very popular on the official website, it is still unknown what kind of sales it will be after it is published.

To be on the safe side, Dengeki Bunko naturally wouldn't give such a high score of 73 as soon as it came up.After all, the share ratio of the S-level contract is 82%.

If you really want to give 73% of the share, in terms of share treatment, it can be regarded as close to half of the S-level contract.

But 64 points is not low. Before "Sword Art Online" was published, 64 points were given, and 86 yen was spent to buy a single volume of manuscripts, which is enough to show that Dengeki Bunko is full of sincerity to her.

After all, most of the publishing revenue share in the light novel industry is 55%.The original price for each volume of novels submitted by newcomers is often between 800 and 1000 yen per thousand words.

After watching for nearly 10 minutes, Hequan Qinhai put down the contract and asked:

"Can I start signing now?"

"Anytime." Yukinoshita Yono handed her the signed pen prepared at the side.

After Hequan Qinhai signed his name on the contract, he handed over the A-level contract to Yokino Yukinoshita.

After confirming the signature, Yukinoshita Haruno was a little nervous all the time, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

She doesn't seem to be as easy-going and calm as she appears to be. She is just a new editor now, and she naturally lacks experience in handling things.

Therefore, when she went home last night, she was still very worried, whether she could successfully sign a contract with Mr. Izumi?

After receiving the A-level contract, Yukinoshita Yono stood up and shook hands with Izumi Kotokai: "I wish us a happy cooperation in the future, Mr. Izumi."

"Happy cooperation." Hequan Qinhai stretched out his fair little hand.

The moment he held Hequan Qinhai's little hand, Yukinoshita Yono felt that what he was holding in his hand seemed to be a piece of soft and sweet cotton candy.The moment people hold it, they don't want to let go, they just want to carefully care for it in their hands.

"Editor Yukinoshita?"

Letting Yukinoshita Yono hold his little hand for a full minute, Izumi Kotokai looked at Yukinoshita Yono with a smile and called softly.

"Ah... sorry, I was thinking about something just now." Yukinoshita Yono, who recovered from the soft touch, said hastily.

"The guarantee fee for volume 1 is 86 yen in total, and it will be transferred to Izumi-sensei's bank card within three working days. Please confirm that the bank card on the contract is correct." Yukinoshita Yoshino reminded road.

"That's correct." Hequan Qinhai nodded, and then said, "Excuse me, is the 86 yen income before tax or after tax?"

"It's after-tax income."

"It turns out that 86 yen is the after-tax income, which is really convenient." Hequan Qinhai said with some surprise.

"By the way, Izumi-sensei, are there any other things you don't understand about the creation of light novels? You can tell them all, and I will definitely answer them for you. After all, you are a newcomer author who has just entered the industry, so there must be many gaps in the process. Do you understand the question?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked in a slow tone.

Although I am still a new editor...

but!

Be an editor!She has the responsibility to guide Hequan Qinhai!

Yukinoshita Yoshino felt that even though Hequan Qinhai was very calm just now, after all, she was only a 16-year-old female high school student, and she would definitely feel a little nervous and puzzled when it came to signing the contract.

At this time, she needs the editor's careful guidance and patient help!

If you have any questions, please ask your sister, she will guide you patiently ~ Yukinoshita Yoshino looked at Izumi Kotokai's cute and weak cheek, and couldn't help thinking.

"Huh? I understand the process, there is no problem, what's wrong?" Hequan Qinhai said without the slightest doubt.

"Eh? No? But you must be thinking about how to write the second volume right now? For example, how should the beginning and plot development of the second volume be developed, and how should the plot be ended when it develops to the middle?"

"Well, I'm currently conceiving the second volume of "Sword Art Online"..."
