Chapter 5 The novel explodes, the first pot of gold

Three days passed.

Li Wei attends classes during the day and writes novels after going home to practice at night.

Occasionally watch "Mage Legend 8" to learn about the customs, customs and magic knowledge of various places.

During the break, Mr. Guze sat on the podium drinking tea and reading.

The students were whispering in the classroom about the recently popular novel "Dragon Knight".

The total population of Maple Leaf City is only over 200,000, and the number of wealthy people is only one-tenth, which is only 20,000 to 30,000 people.

There are even fewer people who like to read.

The reading circle is very small and everyone basically knows each other.

After someone read "Dragon Knight", they happily recommended it to people they knew, and soon the novel became popular in Maple Leaf City.

The apprentices in the Mage Tower are basically aware of this popular novel.

Some have seen it, some have heard it.

"Bathing in dragon blood can really awaken the dragon's bloodline?"

"Impossible! The novels are all made up. Dragon's blood is as hot as lava. Humans bathing in dragon's blood will only be burned into coke."

"How is it impossible? Adam in "Legend of the Dragon Slayer", after killing the dragon, swallowed the dragon's blood and obtained the dragon's bloodline, and became the most powerful warrior!"

"Can they be the same? One is an ordinary person, and the other is a dragon-slaying warrior!"

Ordinary people are concerned about whether Renne can survive the crisis and succeed in revenge?

The apprentices in the Mage Tower are more concerned about whether the various adventures described in the novel are real?

Guze slowly closed the fifty-sixth edition of the Spark Anthology, picked up the ruler, knocked on the table, and said, "Class is on."

After hearing this, everyone quickly returned to their seats and became quiet.

After class, Levi went to Spark Literary Club with the follow-up manuscript of "Dragon Knight".

When Jimmy saw him, he couldn't believe that the author of "Dragon Knight" was so young.

"Hello, I'm your editor Jimmy."

"Hello, I am Levi, the mage apprentice from the Mage Tower, and I am Muren, the author of "Dragon Knight"."

Levi gave Jimmy the follow-up manuscript of "Dragon Riders" to prove his authorship.

Jimmy was shocked when he saw the follow-up plot of Ren embarking on the road of revenge, and quickly read it.

After watching for a while, he suddenly realized that he was still receiving Li Wei.

He quickly put down the manuscript and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, the novel you wrote is so fascinating."

Levi smiled, "It's okay, it's my honor."

Jimmy quickly took him to find the editorial director. The editorial director learned that the author of "Dragon Knight" was coming and received him personally.

Levi and editorial director Gus sat in the room talking, and Jimmy quickly poured tea and water for them.

Gus glanced at the follow-up plot of "Dragon Knight" for a few times, turned to look at Levi, and asked: "Mr. Levi, Spark Literary Agency is willing to pay a high price to buy out the "Dragon Knight" novel."

Levi shook his head and said: "I don't plan to buy out "Dragon Knight". I hope to sign a share contract with Spark Literary Society and obtain a part of the proceeds from the novel. In return, my works will only be published in Spark Literary Society in the future. "

Gu Siwei said: "Sorry, Xinghuo Literary Society has never had this kind of precedent."

He advised: "The reward of the sharing contract may not be as high as the buyout price. The buyout price offered by Spark Literature Society will definitely satisfy you. Why don't you consider it?"

Levi shook his head and said, "No, I only consider the share contract."

Gus looked slightly embarrassed and didn't know how to continue talking to Levi.

If you want to buy out, you only need to estimate the monthly sales of Spark Anthology, and then subtract various costs and royalties to calculate how much money you should spend to buy out the "Dragon Knight" novel to make money.

But when it comes to sharing, there are too many factors involved, and just how to calculate the income is confusing.

After all, the Spark Anthology not only publishes the "Dragon Knight" novel, but also other people's articles and poems.

Li Wei also thought about this when he came, and he thought of a solution on the way here.

He looked at Gus and said, "I'm also a loyal reader of the Spark Anthology."

Hearing this, Gus looked up at him.

Levi continued: "The Spark Anthology only publishes one book every month, and the update speed is really too slow."

Gus said helplessly: "One book a month is still barely maintaining the standard of the Spark Anthology. There are fewer and fewer quality manuscripts, and there is nothing we can do."

Levi said: "I propose to publish a new single volume specifically for the "Dragon Knight" novel, updated weekly."

Gus asked in surprise: "Updating once a week, how is this possible? Even if you only update one section of content at a time, you can't create a new story every week."

Li Wei was speechless. Is it difficult to update five or six thousand words every week?

In the past, he could update 20,000 words a day.

He didn't argue with Gus in this regard, it didn't make any sense, just speak with the facts.

Levi said: "So far, the content of the novels I have submitted has reached 60,000 words, which is enough to be divided into ten publications and maintained for at least two and a half months of updates. How much revenue can this create for Spark Literary Society? Director Gus should be better than I know better."

When Gus heard this, he thought about it for a moment and felt that it seemed feasible.

According to the current sales trend, if it is changed to a weekly edition as Levi said, the sales volume in two months will be higher than the sales volume of Spark Anthology in one year.

The key is, this will not have much impact on the Spark Anthology.

Xinghuo Anthology mainly publishes poetry, articles and travel notes.

Readers of anthologies and readers of novels are not the same group.

Readers of novels may buy the Starfire anthology to read "Dragon Knight", but people who want to read the Spark anthology will not give up buying the anthology just because they have purchased the novels sold separately.

Gus was already a little moved.

Gus said to Levi: "Wait a moment, I need to discuss this matter with other people in the Spark Literary Club."

He glanced at Jimmy and said, "Jimmy, sit here with Mr. Levi for a while."

Jimmy quickly responded: "Okay."

Levi was drinking tea, not in a hurry.

More haste less speed.

Now that the title of "Dragon Knight" has been announced, he took the manuscript to any literary agency and found someone willing to take it over.

The one who should be anxious is Spark Literary Society.

After discussing with several founders of Spark Literary Society, Gus felt that the plan was feasible.

Finally, Gus returned to the room to discuss the split with Levi.

After intense discussions, it was finally determined that the net profit from the novel "Dragon Knight" would be split 50-50 after deducting costs.

After Levi signed a business contract with Spark Literary Agency, he was ready to leave.

Gus stopped him and said: "The first section of "Dragon Knight" has been published on the Spark Anthology. It is difficult to calculate the royalties. Spark Literature will give you this month's novel royalties according to the original buyout price. From now on The calculation of royalties will start in another month.”

When Li Wei heard this, he nodded and did not dwell on this trivial matter.

Until Gus gave him fifty silver coins.

Levi was surprised: "So much money?"

Gus smiled and said: "Originally, Spark Literary Society planned to spend three gold coins to buy out the manuscript of the first six chapters of "Dragon Knight". If you regret it now, you can re-sign the buyout contract now."

Levi was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Gus to want to buy out his novel.

Putting away the fifty silver coins, he shook his head and said, "No need."

He smiled confidently: "The sales volume of "Dragon Knight" will definitely exceed your expectations."

Gus smiled, "Then I'll wait and see."
