Two-dimensional Bai Xue

Taking a sip of the bitter coffee, Machida Sonoko thought of something, and broke the silence with a slightly nervous voice: "Ji Jun, I wonder if you are sure about the sequel of the novel?"

"I can guarantee that it will be more exciting later, because I have been conceiving this novel since junior high school, and this is all my previous personal experience." Ji Ming looked confident.

Of course, talking is no different from farting, and his personal experience is even more nonsense. He will live a super cash-charged life that countless people will envy in the future!

I can’t help it, I don’t find a reason, why do I still say that this was written by a brand I just randomly picked up yesterday, and I didn’t think about the plot at all, because it was plagiarized.

This certainly cannot be said.

But Machida Sonoko doesn't know!

I saw her look at Ji Ming with sympathy and maternal instinct: "Ji Jun, it's hard to be alone and have no friends."

You have no friends, you are alone!

Well...Although it is true, it would still be very sad to be told in front of someone!

The corner of Jiming's mouth twitched twice, and he realized what it meant to shoot himself in the foot...

He forced a smile: "It's okay, it's impossible to make friends, and I really like the feeling of being alone."

"..."

"Actually, Ji Jun is also very eager to have friends, right, otherwise Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui would not have appeared!"

Looking at Machida Sonoko who suddenly became excited, Jiming reminded with some black lines on his forehead: "Well, Ms. Machida? Can we talk about the signing of the contract first?"

"Cough cough."

Machida Sonoko, who was blushing with embarrassment, directly took out the two prepared contracts from behind her.

"Here are the two contracts I prepared before, please take a look."

As one of the publishers, Machida Sonoko obviously understood the potential of this novel, and Jiming also understood it very well, so the purpose of the conversation between the two was to see if Machida Sonoko's publishing house was sincere enough. (www.MianHuaTang.cc Cotton Candy Novels)

Jiming took over the other party's contract and looked at it carefully. There are many rules and regulations, but there are only a few aspects that need attention.

After reading it, Jiming looked at the contract in front of him and compared it with the one he checked on the computer just now.

For the author, the main thing to look at in the contract is the issue of manuscript fees. For newcomers, manuscript fees are generally a buyout, that is, the price is calculated by a thousand words and paid in one lump sum.

As for Jiming, he just ignored it. The short-term lack of money can be temporarily made up for by part-time jobs. It is impossible for him to sell this golden rooster that can lay gold at a low price because of a temporary lack of money.

Then the rest is royalties. He doesn't know how much royalties were for light novels in the previous world, but he still understands this world very well.

At this time, two contracts of similar size were placed in front of Jiming.

One is a fixed royalty, and the other is divided according to sales.

"17%, this is already the limit we can give newcomers, and the other companies will not be higher than this."

Machida Sonoko said truthfully that this is indeed true, because these contract data are almost transparent and open, and can be found by just checking.

17%, Jiming touched his chin. The top group he found is usually around 20%. Although the level of the work is obvious to all, he is still a newcomer, so this price is worthy of him.

It's just...another share, divided according to sales volume?

Speak entirely with grades?This is good!I just like how simple and crude it is!

The basic royalty is 10%, and the maximum is 22%, but to get the highest copyright, the sales record seems to be a little higher than the current No. [-] RB light novel.

"That's it!" Ji Ming suddenly slapped the table, which startled Machida Sonoko...

Seeing Jiming pointing to the sales share contract, Machida Yuanzi had a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Are you so confident in yourself, Ji Jun?"

"I feel that if the publicity is done well, it should be no problem to be in the top three sales." Ji Ming said truthfully, not confident. The explosive sales in his previous life gave him a reason to inflate. This light novel is truly It can be said that it is popular all over RB.

He has also read the rankings of light novels in District 11 in this world, and he can't say that the writing is not good, only that...it's too boring.

If it wasn't for the fear of leaving a bad impression on others by speaking wildly, Jiming would have said directly that the number one chrysanthemum would be a hit...

"Then let me borrow your blessing!"

Seeing that Jiming is so confident, obviously confident in her own follow-up plot, Machida Sonoko is naturally very happy.

"Come on, Ji-jun, sign it!" Machida Sonoko handed Ji Ming the pen and looked at him frantically.

There is no way, can you not be fanatical? You must know that as an associate editor, she may personally dig out a young master for the publishing house!

If Jiming is really famous in the future, her benefits will be infinite!

Looking at Machida Sonoko's frenzied eyes, Jiming was a little speechless. Why did his eyes look so much like the head teacher of Xie? He was a little scared and cautious, so he checked the contract several times...

There is no problem, Ji Ming, who was a little puzzled, signed his name on the contract and handed it to Machida Yuanzi.

"Yeah!" Holding the contract, Sonoko Machida couldn't help cheering a little, a bright future is waiting for her!

She is not worried at all if she continues to maintain this level of performance in the book "My Youth Love Story Really Has a Problem".

Although I am a little speechless about Jiming's first three "big words", but I can conquer her, an editor who has read almost all types of neon light novels, in less than one volume. The sales volume is absolutely explosive. , and there is an infinite possibility of rising!

This is her assertion, as an editor who has been working for many years!Because in their line of work, it is best to understand the reader market and what types of works readers like.

"By the way, Ji Jun, what are your plans for the illustration of the novel?"

Signing the contract means that their interests have been completely tied together, and illustrations, which are extremely important to light novels, naturally need to be asked clearly.

"I have a friend who specially draws this, I want him to draw for me, is that okay?"

The illustrator, Jiming, naturally has his own considerations. He is definitely worried about letting others draw, so he can only find a way to do it himself, saying that his friend is just to dispel Machida Sonoko's worries. After all, human energy is limited.

"If the drawing feels good, then it's fine." Sonoko Machida didn't doubt anything after hearing this. After all, how could she think of this? Writing novels is very tiring, and ordinary people don't have the energy to draw illustrations.

"Well, I will probably be able to finish the first volume recently, and when will it be published?"

"In the near future, it will probably be next month. There will be a May Day golden sales week next month. If you plan to publish in the near future, I will suggest to the president to invest the most resources in your novel during May Day. If you plan to publish it slowly Slow down, we have to wait for the summer vacation."

Sonoko Machida thought about it, the novels published and sold during May Day are basically masters recognized by the industry.

Although it is risky to give all the resources to newcomers, the quality of Undead Chuan's recent novels is really bad. Whether it is a master or a newcomer, there are no novels that can support the scene.

Jiming smiled slightly at Machida Sonoko, and chose the former without hesitation. What a joke, he is a man who wants to become the King of Two-dimensional, time is precious!

Of course, the most important thing is that he is in desperate need of money...

"Ji Jun, since we've reached an agreement, I'm going to go back and report the good news to the president."

"If you have anything to do, we can call you at any time, and please try to keep talking on your mobile phone at any time!" It is true that I didn't get through the phone all afternoon, so Machida Sonoko couldn't help reminding...

The specific contract has been signed, Machida Sonoko is naturally not in the mood to stay here and drink coffee slowly, she has to go back to the publishing house as soon as possible to discuss the specific operation of the novel with the president.

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Smiling and sending Machida Yuanzi away, Jiming is also in a very happy mood now. Although he can't get money in a short time, as long as he works part-time to get through the most difficult time, a bright future will come!Wow ha ha ha ha!

After drinking the bitter coffee slowly, Jiming walked out of the coffee shop. On the way, there was no imaginary waiter shouting that he didn't pay.

Jiming felt a little rejoiced, fortunately Machida Sonoko paid the money, otherwise he would be ashamed!

Chapter 6 START: DASH!

The next day, when a yawning Jiming passed by a shrine near the school, he unexpectedly found San Jiyou from yesterday. qiushu.cc [Tianhuo Avenue]

"Ah, is this the only junior in our school?"

Jiming, who was still a little confused, was suddenly startled by the voice and warm touch coming from his ear. When he looked up, he found a gentle-faced woman wearing a priestess costume with her purple hair tied up in a simple ponytail. Great beauty.

"Oh? Are you a senior from our school? And please don't be so suddenly scary..."

"Yes, please work harder today, little~xue~brother~" leaving behind a sentence of unclear meaning, Tojo Nozomi took the broom and continued to clean.

"What are you talking about, it doesn't make sense."

A dazed Jiming saw that Honoko and the other two had spotted him, and walked towards him.

"Yeah, Ji Jun, why are you here? Are you a legendary stalker!" Honoko, who was full of energy, laughed and complained.

Please don't use that kind of greeting!so awkward!

"You are the stalker! It's just that my house happens to be nearby, and why is it based on the premise that I have a good impression of you!"

Ji Ming, whose face was full of black lines, didn't know where to complain....

"Ah, it's rare, isn't it?"

"Of course not! Why are you so confident!"

"Well, don't worry about that kind of thing, don't be dumbfounded, Ji Jun, let's go, we are going to be late already!"

Jiming, who didn't react, was pulled by Honoka and ran away.

The girl's palms were a little wet due to excessive exercise, but it made the touch even more moist.

Jiming blushed a little and looked at Honoka who was holding his hand and leading her to run together, why are you so proficient!

Also, our roles are reversed. Hey, generally speaking, boys lead girls to run away...

Nan Xiaoniao looked at the two aggrievedly from behind: "Xiaoguo..."

Haiwei: "Look at..."

Phew, it's a good thing I'm not late, otherwise the teacher will get mad!The panting four sat in the classroom and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, now we start class."

It was only when Jiming was dragged into the classroom that he realized how cunning he was!

--------

The whole morning passed just like that, and Jiming, who had been typing on his mobile phone, also stretched and got ready to eat.

Just before he put the phone down...

"I refuse!" Seeing the three familiar faces, Jiming refused with black lines all over his head.

"Please, I want to ask you to help compose the music." Seeing Jiming like this, Honoko pouted.

Xiaoniao and Haiwei also looked at Jiming expectantly.

"I refuse!" Jiming refused with a higher voice. Asking him to sing a little girl's song is too eye-catching... oh no, it's too hot on the ears!

"Uh, can it be said that Ji Jun can only sing but not compose?"

"Yes, yes...but I'm a boy, boy!" Jiming helplessly helped his forehead.

"It's okay! This is for the school to recruit students! If students can be summoned through songs..."

Although he was being rejected all the time, Honoka still looked at him expectantly.

Hey, hey, please don't look at me like that...my blood bar is almost empty...

"I got it, I got it, bring me the lyrics."

Obviously so unreliable──But something must be done for the continuation of the school, and something must be done, looking at Kosaka Honoka who is convinced of this, Jiming always feels that he must take care of her no matter what, Also, an inexplicable respect.

He stretched out his hand to Honoka, and finally compromised...

"Yeah - great success!" The three girls looked at each other in surprise.

Taking over the paper with the lyrics written by Honoka, Jiming looked at the lyrics, and he regretted it when he saw the first sentence...

He completely forgot about the terrible level of music in this world!

"This lyrics, it's too horrible..." After reading it, Jiming was a little bit crazy, and couldn't hold back for a while and shouted out.

“…”

"That's it.... I came up with this lyrics..." Hearing what Jiming said, Haiwei in front of him put on a face similar to that of drawing a ghost card...

Jiming: "...."

Honoka: "..."

Little Bird: "..."

"I'll write another one for you."

"Huh? Now?" The three of Guo Niao Hai asked in surprise at the same time.

Looking at the efforts of the three girls in front of him for the school, and thinking about what he was doing in high school before, Jiming felt a little ashamed and moved.

Thinking that I can be regarded as a part of this school, and if I help them, it can be considered as a contribution to the school, although I don't have any feelings for this school.

Jiming, who expressed himself with actions, put on a look of closed eyes and contemplation, but in fact he was looking for a song suitable for their eyes in his mind.

Seeing Jiming's action, Honoka and Kaimi looked at him expectantly. They heard the song yesterday, and it was the first time they heard such a song that made people's blood boil.

What you wrote to us shouldn't be too bad... right?
