Started writing later.

So I thought that since I’ve come today anyway, I’d better determine the illustrations and character designs that will be used in the three new works that will be created in the future. "

"Is it too anxious? Even if you have decided to write these three new works, you can first confirm the illustrations and character design of "Restoration Warlock".

Illustrators and characters. " asked Yubibin Denghua puzzled.

Even if the booklet is confirmed to be published, the printing will not start immediately after receiving the manuscript from the author, not to mention the need to contact the printing house to confirm the time.

If you follow the normal process, the first thing the editor does after getting the manuscript is to read it several times from beginning to end.

One is to help the author find typos as much as possible. Most light novel authors now use computers to write manuscripts, and of course they also use mobile phones to write manuscripts. Few authors use pens and manuscript paper to write manuscripts, at least in the light novel library.

are electronic documents.

However, I heard that the publishing house responsible for literary novels still receives handwritten manuscripts from a few authors every year.Handwritten manuscripts are indeed extremely rare in this day and age.

Then again, whether it is a computer or a mobile phone, the input method must be used when coding words. As long as the speed is increased, typos will inevitably appear.

Minimize typos in a single volume as much as possible.

Of course, there are also some light novel authors who make typos and mistakes, which are fresh and refined, and they have become the stalks that readers love to talk about.

The responsible editor will simply not care about the typos in the original manuscript, and even find a word in this sentence when reading the original manuscript. If it is deliberately changed to a typo, it will easily cause complaints from readers, and will contact the author specifically.

A word was deliberately changed into a typo.

It's like some anchors like to add a little program effect to themselves during the live broadcast to create a meme and increase their popularity.

If the author can create a meme, it can also bring a lot of help in terms of popularity and income.

The second is because the editor in charge needs to be the author's first reader, and needs to read the original manuscript in advance to see if there are any problems with the plot and character creation.

If the writing of a popular work collapses, then write the collapse, and the responsible editor doesn’t bother to care about it. If the writing happens to collapse, there is still a reason for it to be cut in half.

But if the writing of a popular work collapses, the editor in charge will contact the author as soon as he reads the original manuscript, and try his best to ask the author to modify the plot that may appear.

This second reason is the most important reason.

In the creative industry, there is a strange phenomenon, not only in light novels, but also in comics. Some works that are obviously very popular, the plot is halfway through, and the plot or character design suddenly collapses.

Yes, the readers of this work were caught off guard, and the word of mouth plummeted.

Not only in Japan, but creators in other countries also have this phenomenon.

Every time I encounter this kind of creator who let himself go in the plot, the editor in charge wants to scold her.

If your work is purely for self-entertainment and using love to generate electricity, then no matter how you let go of yourself in the plot and characters, and write the content, it will be fine.

But the problem is - your work is commercial in nature!

Commercial works can continue to create follow-up plots, it is because readers are supporting you with real money!

Obviously eating a commercial meal, but Wenqing fell ill, smashed his job, made some disgusting readers' operations in the plot, and felt good about himself.I was aggrieved when I was scolded and said: The taste of this year's readers is too bad

, do not understand my talent!

Pooh!

You have a mailing talent!

Every time he encounters this kind of creator who is arrogant and arrogant, likes to show off his feelings, but ends up writing shit, Hequan Qinhai can instantly think of tens of thousands of words to spray, and the first sentence he most wants to say is naturally :

- RNM, get your money back!

Yukinoshita Yoshino is in charge of a light novel for the first time, and the popularity is so terrifying. While feeling happy, when he first read the original manuscript of "Sword Art Online", Yono would read it carefully and repeatedly, keeping his mobile phone at hand all the time.

On the other hand, if they find a plot that may cause controversy, they will immediately pick up the phone and ask Qin Hai to change the script.

However, starting from the original manuscript of Volume 1 and reading until now, Yukinoshita Yoshino discovered a gratifying phenomenon. In "Sword Art Online" written by Qin Hai, from the first volume to the present, there is not a single plot that will make readers feel uncomfortable ,

On the contrary, the plot is very cool!

Hequan Qinhai is an author who has a very clear positioning for her own creation. Her writing style may not be the most beautiful, but her writing is very cool and astringent!

At the same time, Hequan Qinhai is still very clear that he wants to eat the rice of commercialization, and all the plots are created around one center-to make readers happy.

There is no poison in the plot, and the description of the female characters is even more straightforward to the extreme, as if the accelerator has never been let go from the beginning to the end.

Every time the editorial department has a meeting, they have to discuss whether to set "Sword Art Online" as an R18 work. The text is quite rough, and coupled with the harsh illustrations drawn by Hua Yuyi, children can't grasp it at all. ! so cool

People can't stand it, and they can't wait to stay up and watch all night.

After the editor gets the manuscript, whether it's to pick up typos, or to see if there are any mistakes in the plot and character design in advance, reading it from beginning to end must not be completed in a day.

What's more, after reading and confirming that there are no problems, you need to contact the artist in charge of the work, and after confirming the schedule, send the original manuscript, the content of the booklet cover, and the plot that needs to be illustrated to the artist.

Cover, front page, more than a dozen black and white inserts.

This amount of work cannot be completed in a few months, and this is still on the premise that the artist rushes to draft every day.

If the normal process is followed, for example, Izumi Kotokai handed over the manuscript of the first volume of "The Recovery Warlock's Restarting Life" to Yukino Yukinoshita in February next year, then the printing and publication will not start until at least May.nearly three months

More than half of it needs to be reserved for Mrs. Yubihama's illustrations.

The time for the booklet to be put on the shelves is particular. Hequan Qinhai naturally hopes that each volume of the booklet he writes can be put on the shelves in the months with the highest traffic, but if the normal process is followed, there is no way to book the time in advance.

It all depends on when the artist finishes drawing the illustrations, and when the printing factory finishes printing the first print, then you can start to choose which month to put on the shelves.

What if the months you can choose happen to be months with low traffic? Wouldn’t it be a disadvantage in terms of traffic?

Hequan Qinhai was able to figure out a way to avoid the disadvantages of the shelf time, that is, he did not take the usual route, and decided on the illustrations and character designs in advance with Mrs. Bibin, and finished them one after another.

I explained my thoughts to Yubibin Denghua in detail, and Yubibin Denghua's brain turned quickly, and he suddenly understood that Hequan Qinhai wanted to cut off the months of time left for the artist in the normal process of publishing the booklet

PS: Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a blade!

Chapter 778 If you look at each other like this...

Artists are human beings just like authors, so there will be times when drafts are delayed.

Originally, it would take a long time to finish drawing a volume of illustrations, and it is not surprising that the booklet originally scheduled to be released next year will be postponed to the following year after delaying the manuscript.

Hequan Qinhai directly approached Yubibin Denghua, and the two decided on the illustration of the new work in advance, and started drawing tomorrow.

When Qin Hai sent the original manuscript of the new work to Yukinoshita Yono, it was enough for Yuigahama Toka to draw all the illustrations for a volume.

Finish the most time-consuming illustration work in advance, and the responsible editor will send the text manuscript and illustration manuscript to the printing factory after reading the original manuscript.Keep the timing of the publishing process within a predictable range.

Hequan Qinhai can use this to estimate when the booklet will be printed, so as to choose a suitable month for the shelves.

"I understand what you mean. This can really free up the time for drawing illustrations in the normal process. Even if Dengeki Bunko sees that you are very popular, the first volume of "Restoration Warlock's Restarting Life" will be arranged for you."

I bought a special edition, and the extra bonuses and book box paintings, I can finish it for you in a week at most. "

"Then it's such a happy decision. I estimate that next year I will be able to write the manuscript of the final chapter of "Sword Art Online". As for when Dengeki Bunko will publish the manuscript, I don't know."

Izumi Kotokai chuckled. After all, Dengeki Bunko publishes several light novels every month, and its production capacity is limited.And continued:

"Anyway, after the final chapter of "Sword Art Online" is finished, I can free up more than half of my energy. At that time, I will concentrate on writing "Restoration Warlock" for a month or two. After adjusting the state, I will start a new work—— Reincarnation".

"Does Yang Nai know about this?" Yubi Bin Denghua asked tentatively, she always felt that she was the first person to know about it.

Dengeki Bunko has just published the first volume of "Sword Art Online", and the popularity of the entire series is gradually rising. Even if only one volume is released, it still sits firmly on the bestseller list.Under such circumstances, Hequan Qinhai has already

I'm starting to think about the finale

If Yang Nai finds out, I don't know whether Yang Nai wants to cry or laugh.

"Editor Yukinoshita doesn't know yet. Rather, I haven't told Dengeki Bunko about the upcoming plans, and I haven't even hinted too much."

On this point, Izumi Kotokai did not elaborate on this with Yukinoshita Yono.She has a good relationship with Yang Nai, and she is also in the same class with Yang Nai's younger sister Xue Nai.

But it does not mean that Izumi Kotokai and Dengeki Bunko can maintain such a friendly cooperative relationship as they are now. At the beginning of cooperation, both parties have a honeymoon period where they love each other and dream of a win-win situation together.

But once the honeymoon period is over, the two parties are likely to have differences on a certain matter in the future due to interests.

From the beginning of signing the contract, Izumi Qinhai has always kept this in mind, and has never tied himself to Dengeki Bunko.

Hiratsuka Yuko didn’t say it clearly at the beginning, but when there was a conflict between the release time of the 10th volume of "The Girl Who Lives in Mecha" and the 1st volume of "Sword Art Online", Hiratsuka Yuko made a choice. Sipingba

Well, the two authors were not offended, but Hequan Qinhai still saw something.

After getting acquainted with Dengeki Bunko, Hequan Qinhai got a piece of news. The author of "The Girl Who Lives in Mecha Can't Smile", Toki Renki, signed a contract with Dengeki Bunko in volume 5.

Dengeki Bunko will give him more resources to support him, and the income from IP adaptation will also allow him to get more share.But within 30 years, all the light novels written by Toki Lianki can only be published in Dengeki Bunko.

When Hequan Qinhai signed the contract, it was the book "Sword Art Online".

The special contract signed by Hu Qilianmu was directly signed by him, and the contract lasted for 30 years.

Therefore, when there is a conflict in the release time, the editor-in-chief Hiratsuka will give the PV recommendation video to Toki Renki, which is normal operation and understandable.

If it were Qinhai, it would do the same thing. After all, there is a conflict between the two authors on the release time. One is the book signed, and the other is the person who signed it. How should I choose? I must recommend the PV first. video give sign

The one who is human.

Similarly, if Izumi Kotokai had also signed herself to Dengeki Bunko for 30 years, then when there was a conflict in the release time, Hiratsuka Yuko would not hesitate to recommend the PV to her.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see the potential of "Sword Art Online", which is stronger than "The Girl Who Lives in Mecha Can't Smile".

Even Toki Lianki admitted this: Two more volumes, no, one more volume! Mr. Izumi Ki will completely leave me behind in terms of popularity and sales, and the entire best-selling list will also be all sold out. Usher in a new shuffle.

Izumi Kotokai does not want to bind herself to Dengeki Bunko for 30 years. Her ambition is to start a game company by herself. Light novels are her help and should not be a constraint.

However, Toki Renki felt that the 30-year contract he signed was quite a bargain. After all, relying on this 30-year contract, he bought a house in Tokyo where land is very expensive. in tokyo

buy house.

After writing the series "The Girl Who Lives in a Mecha Can't Smile", he has directly gained wealth and freedom. Often, the manuscript fee for the previous month has not been spent, and the manuscript fee for this month will arrive in the account.Not too rich, at least in this life

Don't worry about money matters.

It is said that several authors on the best-seller list have also signed this 30-year contract.

Everyone has aspirations.

"In other words, I was the first to know.

Yubihama Denghua asked softly, and after receiving Qin Hai's affirmative reply, her mood became a little strange for some reason.

Hequan Qinhai continued to say

"The world view, setting and plot of "Reincarnation without a job" will be extremely grand. Every plot and detail needs to be polished extremely rigorously. This is an epic about growing into a hero! The length of the chapter must be written several times. Hundred

Wanzi, when I was writing "Reincarnation of the Jobless", I probably wouldn't open other long light novels, as that would distract my energy, and I would write a novelette or short novel occasionally at most. "
