She knew that Sikong Xuan could obviously refuse her proposal without being roasted on the fire by her, and he could just be an ordinary signed author without any pressure.
However, in the face of her willingness to gamble, the other party still accepted her big gamble... If she loses the gamble, she will definitely lose her editorial job and will never become a celebrity again. Editing, and the other party will also be discredited, which is basically equivalent to quitting the circle of light novels.
Thinking of this, Machida Yuanzi couldn't help but look at Sikong Xuan.
The young man in front of him is also a confident person.
What Sikong Xuan said next made her even more certain of this idea.
"Miss Machida Enko, I wonder if your library has any channels for overseas sales?"
"Yes." Hearing Sikong Xuan's question, Machida Yuanzi quickly replied: "Fantastic Bunko is backed by Fudechuan Bookstore, and has opened up foreign sales channels very early. Europe Germany, Britain and the US all have dedicated sales channels."
"That's it."
Nodding his head, Sikong Xuan chuckled lightly, and then said:
"Then, let me add a condition. I hope that our novels can be released globally simultaneously."
After all, the background story and world view of the original League of Legends game incorporates cultural ideas from all over the world. As long as the translation is powerful, there will be no cultural gap.
"Please give me the Chinese translation, English translation and German translation, and I will try to translate the novel into Chinese, English and German as quickly as possible. If your library is worried about my translation level, I will Submit the translated samples to your library for evaluation as soon as possible."
"..."
Teacher Sikong, he is more confident and better than I imagined.
Looking at Sikong Xuan, who proposed simultaneous global release and took over the translation work of all three languages in front of him, Machida Garden 1.0 Zi couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart.
As for Chi Hui and Kato Megumi next to Sikong Xuan, the two girls were already stunned.
They can understand the Chinese translation, after all they know that Sikong Xuan is of Chinese descent.But the English translation and the German translation...
'Classmate Sikong (Xuanjun), what an amazing person~~'*2
PS: Some people complained that I exaggerated the influence of Qianshou Village on the light novel world.Well, here is some data: Dengeki Bunko has the largest circulation of light novels in "Magic Forbidden Books Catalog", with 2016 million copies/1610 volumes as of 40, with an average sales volume of 40.3 copies.“Sword Art Online” has the best volume on average, with 2017 million copies/1310 volumes as of 23, with an average volume of 57 copies.
The timeline of the world of "Mr. Erromanga" is 2017. Qianshou Village Zheng "Fantasy Demon Sword" has 1400 million volumes/11 volumes, and the average volume exceeds [-] volumes. .
Chapter 107
As for Sikong Xuan's proposal for him to translate into three foreign languages, Machida Yuanzi just thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
After all, it is not the final decision, and Sikong Xuan also gave her and Wenku the power to reject the translation if the translation quality is not good, so Machida Yuanzi chose to trust Sikong Xuan again.
After discussing the conditions of foreign sales channels, the next step is the negotiation of novel illustrations.
"About the illustration for "Demacia"...Miss Enko Machida, I heard that Erromanga-sensei has a cooperative relationship with your library. If possible, can she be responsible for the illustration for "Demacia"."
"She? Does Teacher Sikong know Teacher Erromanga?"
"Well..." After hesitating for a while, Sikong Xuan nodded, "Teacher Erromanga is actually her sister."
"Oh... ah?!!"
Hearing Sikong Xuan's words, Machida Yuanzi first nodded subconsciously, and then let out a surprised scream the next second.
"Wait...wait~! Teacher Erromanga...is Teacher Sikong's sister?"
"A lie? Teacher Erromanga is Sister Situ?!"
Not only Machida Yuanko, but also Chie could not help standing up and said with a face full of surprise:
"Being able to draw such H-shaped illustrations and books, I thought that the old 29th teacher of Erromanga was a middle-aged dead fat man~~"
"...you should know that she is a girl after watching the live broadcast of Mr. Erromanga, right?"
Facing the surprised Zhihui, Sikong Xuan complained, and then continued:
"And correct me. Erromanga-sensei is not Quiet, but Sagiri."
Zhihui: "..."
Kato Megumi: "..."
This time not only Chi Hui, but also Kato Megumi was dumbfounded.Machida Yuanzi, who was on the side, couldn't figure out the situation, and couldn't help but say:
"What's wrong? Why are Kato-sensei and Takasago-sensei showing such expressions."
"That... Machida editor..."
"Ok?"
"Xuanjun he... has two younger sisters: one is sister Situ and the other is sister Sagiri. Among them, sister Situ is a little older than sister Sagiri."
"Oh...then what?"
"Sister Sagiri...she is 13 years old this year."
"..."
With an unusually stiff face, Machida Yuanzi stared at Chi Hui for a while, and after confirming that the other party was not lying, she said in a trance:
"Mr. Erromanga is... a 13-year-old girl?"
"Uh, yes."
"Wait wait~!" Machida Yuanzi felt a throbbing pain while clutching her chest, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Erromanga entered into a partnership with our library three years ago to provide our library's light novels. Illustrator."
Having said this, Machida Yuanzi paused, and then his face darkened:
"And the contract we signed, whether it's a photo or a marked age and gender, shows that Mr. Erromanga is a middle-aged lady in her thirties."
"Oh, that's probably because Sagiri was too young three years ago, so she used her mother's identity to sign with Guibunku, right? But it's strange, Aunt Izumi passed away unfortunately with my father a year ago, why didn't you notice? ?"
"..."
Hearing Sikong Xuan's explanation, Machida Yuanzi was stunned again, and then his face suddenly turned green.
At this time, Sikong Xuan also reacted with hindsight. He glanced at the ugly face of the older woman in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"If you can, Miss Machida Yuanzi, you should hurry up and deal with the cooperation agreement between your library and your sister, otherwise if it is found that there is a problem with the cooperation agreement between your library and the illustrator, it is estimated that your library will get into a lot of trouble. ."
"I'll deal with it as soon as the contract is signed~!"
"But if possible, I hope that Guiwenku can continue to maintain the cooperative relationship with Shemei. After all, Shemei likes this job very much. As a brother, I personally don't want her to be sad."
"Of course it is."
In the face of Sikong Xuan's reminder, Machida Yuanzi suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression.
For an illustrator like Sagiri, even a Fantastic library with a big business can't just let it go, let alone the two sides have had a three-year cooperative relationship.Moreover, she now knows that Sagiri is only 13 years old this year. Such a talented girl painter can be said to have a bright future. She and Fantastic Bunko will only let Sagiri go if she has a brain hole.
She said to deal with the cooperation agreement with Sagiri, just because the cooperation agreement was in the name of Sagiri's mother.If this is known by competitors in the industry, Fantastic library is easy to get involved in a lawsuit.
"By the way, is Teacher Sikong an adult this year?"
"Umm~ Sorry, I'm 16 years old."
"That's a pity..."
If Sikongxuan is an adult, it would be better to put the name of Sikongxuan directly.
"Then, back to the point."
Rubbing his temples, Machida Yuanzi considered the language, and then said:
"My personal opinion is against Mr. Sikong's proposal to let Mr. Erromanga be responsible for the illustration of the novel "Demacia"."
"why?"
"It's not that Mr. Erromanga's level is not good, or that Mr. Erromanga's illustration level is definitely outstanding among professional-level painters in the industry, but..."
"how?"
"Xuanjun, I think it's a matter of style."
It was Zhihui who spoke, and she said to Sikongxuan:
"Mr. Erromanga... Sagiri's illustrations are great, but... how should I put it, her illustrations are actually more suitable for the kind of light novels written by Kasumi Shizi about youth and love, then This kind of vague H painting style, I personally feel that it is not suitable for the illustration task of "Demacia"."
"Is that so? I didn't expect that."
Sikong Xuan nodded thoughtfully, Machida Yuanzi next said:
"As we talked about before, our library is going to cultivate three teachers into the pillars of the library. Therefore, for the debut works of the three teachers, we will provide the best publicity, the widest channels, the largest In this case, Mr. Erromanga is not suitable for me to be the illustrator of "Demacia", because we hope that "Demacia" can have the most matching and suitable novel illustrations!
So, although it may be too much for Mr. Sikong's sister, Mr. Erromanga, but even at the request of Mr. Sikong, I personally still don't want Mr. Erromanga to be responsible for the illustration work of "Demacia". "
"..."
Hearing Machida Yuanzi's words, Sikong Xuan suddenly fell silent, even Chi Hui and Kato Megumi fell into silence.
At the beginning, although Machida Yuanzi said that the three of them would be cultivated into the pillars of the library, they did not have a specific understanding of this.And now, after hearing Machida's words, they finally understood the determination and courage of Fantastic Bunko.
In this situation, subconsciously, they turned their eyes to Sikong Xuan, and as before, Sikong Xuan made the decision instead of the three.
As for Sikong Xuan, who was watched by the two girls, he closed his eyes silently, recalling his own white-haired loli at home, thinking of Sawu's happy smile when painting, and finally Sikong Xuan's meeting It is frozen in the depths of my memory, the appointment I made with Sagiri on the Internet in junior high school.
Suddenly, Sikong Xuan opened his eyes and said solemnly to Machida Yuanzi:
"Miss Machida Enko, I still insist on my proposal. I hope Mr. Erromanga will be the illustrator of the novel."
"This..."
"The style of painting can't be changed, but it can be learned. After I go back, I will help Sagiri, so that Sagiri can draw illustrations that match the style of "Demacia" before finalizing the printing! This is me, an older brother. promises made in the name of
"Please~!".
Chapter 108
In the end, in the face of Sikong Xuan's insistence, Machida Yuanzi reluctantly agreed to his proposal.
What if you don't agree?
The contract has not been signed yet, and the three first-time submissions in front of me are so cute. If I can't think of going to other libraries to submit articles, then she will have to cry from Machida Yuanko and Fantastic Bunko.
In the final analysis, it is Fantastic Bunko that is in need of others, and it is Fantastic Bunko that lacks top-level fantasy fighting light novel writers. Sikong Xuan and the three who have guaranteed novel quality are not worried that they will not be able to sign contracts if they submit their articles to other libraries.
As for the treatment at the library column level?It sounds nice, but from another point of view, it is also to roast the three of Sikong Xuan on the fire.In case the sales of novels did not meet Wenku's expectations, not only Wenku would lose resources, but Sikongxuan and the others would also be unlucky.That is to say, Si Kongxuan is confident that if there is a potential newcomer, no matter how good the treatment is, he will think twice for the future.
