Comprehensive manga: Pen name Dazaiye, Qingmeixiazhiqiu

Since returning from dinner with Naoji Oyama that day.

In the following days, one after another, publishing houses approached Kitahara Makoto.

There are large and small, the big ones have the other five major publishing houses, and the small ones have some unknown local publishing houses.

The targets are all his new book.

Among them, the highest bidder is '30% below 500,000 copies, and 40% above 500,000 copies'.

However, this is an unknown local publishing house.

Kitahara really didn't think much about it, so he ruled out the other party.

Now is not the era when the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley.

In modern society, excellent publicity and promotion ability can determine the life and death of a work.

The reason why the five major publishing houses are the five major publishing houses.

And not only because they are well-capitalized.

It is also because they have a large number of propaganda channels at their disposal.

From distribution, printing, sales, awards... There is a complete industrial chain.

It's like a tree that covers the sky.

The dense root system has permeated the entire literary world.

Small publishing houses are not comparable at all with the Big Five.

After excluding small publishing houses.

Only five major publishing houses remain.

Among the five major clubs, the New Tide Society has not yet discussed the issue of 'new books' with Kitahara.

Other publishers urged him to hand over his new book to them for distribution.

However, it is still Kodansha that has the highest bid.

Now he depends on what conditions the New Tide Society will give himself in the end.

If the price of the new tide does not satisfy him.

He also doesn't mind handing over the new book to Kodansha for distribution.

Of course, the 'ten-year deed of sale' is certainly impossible to sign.

It's a big deal to give away some benefits to Kodansha, and you can't sign that kind of 'deed of sale'.

......

In the blink of an eye, it's November.

The reception room of the New Tide Society.

Today, Kitahara really came to sign a new contract for additional printing.

Recently, "Human Disqualification" has been in the limelight.

All the 250,000 copies of the last additional print have been sold.

The total sales in Dongying officially reached '500,000 copies'!

500,000 copies.

This number, even for popular literature, is not a small threshold.

Only if you cross this threshold can you be included in the ranks of 'best-selling authors'.

This kind of achievement, whether it is for the author's fame or for the sales of the work, has a lot of benefits.

A traditional literary novel sold more than half a million copies.

The fame brought by it has grown geometrically.

Because the spread of traditional literary fiction is not as limited as commercial literary fiction.

Romance novels are only spread among groups that like romance novels.

Leaving this group, no one paid attention at all.

Light novels, blood texts, web articles, are almost like this.

Without their readership, basically no one knows.

But traditional literature is different.

It doesn't matter if you like romance novels, Japanese light novels, or hot web novels.

You ask them if they know "Alive", "White Deer Plain", "Resurrection", "Gone with the Wind", "War and Peace", "Les Miserables"...

Basically, I can name a few copies.

Because the spread of traditional literature spans time, class, identity, age.

From grandfather, to father, to grandson, everyone knows a book.

It can be said that it runs through the history of a country, rooted in the culture of a nation, and its influence is distributed in all aspects.

Therefore, the influence of traditional literary fiction is not comparable to commercial literature.

Forty or fifty years later, the group of people who grew up watching "One Piece" died, and no one went to watch "One Piece" anymore.

But "Human Disqualification", "Rashomon", "Snow Country" ... These works are still well known to the public.

And as a new '500,000 author', Kitahara Makoto.

Status is also rising with the tide.

From a white body, he has become a celebrity.

The fame is comparable to some third- and fourth-tier stars.

This is still when he is not very open.

Otherwise, the fame can be higher.

"Kitahara-san, this is a new additional printing contract, you take a look, if there is no problem, let's sign it now."

Yamamoto and Noboru very enthusiastically handed the contract to Kitahara Shin.

Although Kitahara really rose, there was part of the credit he excavated.

But after the sales of "Human Disqualification" reached 500,000 copies, his attitude towards Beiyuan Zhen could not help but lower a lot.

"Yes."

Kitahara Zhen just flipped through it casually a few times and agreed.

This time the contract is not much different from the previous one.

The only thing that has changed are two numbers.

One is the quantity printed, and the other is the royalties given to him.

The number of copies printed is 300,000 copies.

The royalty is 20%.

The price is 2,500 yen.

This time alone, Xinchao had to pay him 2500*300000*20%.

150 million yen!

A set of Tokyo flats.

The book has its own house of gold.

The ancients are sincere, do not deceive me!

Kitahara really happily signed his name.

Yamamoto and Noboru carefully put away the contract before asking with a smile.

"Kitahara-san, now the publicity of "Human Disqualification" has come to an end, the next step is the award, soft propaganda."

"I wonder if you have any plans for a new book recently?"

Kitahara Zhen did not hide it and said.

"I have some ideas, but I haven't started writing yet."

Hearing that Kitahara Mama already had plans for a new book, Yamamoto and Noboru's smile became even warmer.

"Kitahara-san, our cooperation on "Human Disqualification" is so pleasant, the new book should be handed over to us New Tide Society for distribution, right?"

"Let's wait for the new writing to come out, it's too early to say anything."

Kitahara said perfunctorily.

Don't take out any real money at all, just want him to write a new book?

Dream it!

Seeing Kitahara Zhen's appearance of not seeing rabbits and not spreading eagles.

Yamamoto and Noboru were very helpless in their hearts.

I don't know why Kitahara is really such a young man, but it is as difficult as those old fritters who have been wandering around the rivers and lakes for many years.

Of course, he didn't know that under the skin of Kitahara's true youth, he was a soul who had been mixed up in society for decades.

Now Kitahara is no longer the existence that Yamamoto and Noboru can casually handle.

Instead, he is now asking Kitahara to hand over the new book to their New Tide Society for distribution.

So Yamamoto and Noboru simply took out the hole card directly.

Gritting his teeth and saying.

"In view of the first successful cooperation, your new book is willing to give a very generous contract by our new trendy company, which I believe is a price that other publishing houses will never dare to give!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Yamamoto and Noboru's words, Kitahara was really interested.

At this time, Yamamoto and Noboru re-came up with a contract.

Kitahara took it and looked through it a few times.

Royalties below 500,000 copies are 16%, and more than 500,000 copies are 24%.

The same conditions as Kodansha.

The difference is that there is no ten-year deed of sale.

Of course, there are no annuities.

However, Kitahara himself does not care about the millions of annuities.

He cares more about freedom.

Under the same conditions, he has already had a successful cooperation with the New Tide Society, and naturally there is no reason to choose Kodansha again.

"Editor-in-Chief Yamamoto, you are too polite, Xinchao Club is my debut place, returning here is the same as returning to my mother's home, I have always had extraordinary feelings here, and I am very satisfied that the new book can be handed over to Xinchao Society for distribution."

"Little fox, I haven't seen you reduce the cost of your mother's family."

Looking at Kitahara's warm smile.

Yamamoto and Noboru complained in their hearts.

But he still stood up and shook hands with Kitahara Makoto with a smile.

Anyway, it's a happy win-win!
