Summary: I, Lord Demon King, refuse to put rot!

Chapter 53: Machida Enko’s Roar!

The next day.

Iroaki Ideto’s text message came again.

Said that he wanted to make an appointment to meet with Xu Fan.

Xu Fan did not refuse, publishing a book is actually similar to doing business, it is nothing more than a bargaining process.

Moreover, the initiative is still with him.

…

Wednesday.

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

In a café near McDonald’s.

Xu Fan met Hiroaki Inodo.

This man who sounded like a middle-aged uncle was unexpectedly young, looked like he should only be in his thirties, and always had a hint of shrewdness on his face.

In his early thirties, he can mix with the position of editor-in-chief, and it seems that he is indeed quite capable.

“Hello Lucifer Writer.”

“I’m Hiroaki Inodo, the editor-in-chief of Kadokawa Bunko who spoke to you on the phone.”

After seeing Xu Fan, Hiroaki Ito immediately stretched out his hand and said hello very decently.

Looking at Hiroaki Idsuchi, Xu Fan couldn’t help but despise his own editor.

Both of them are around thirty years old, why can others mix in the position of editor-in-chief, you can only mix with the responsible editor.

Editor, isn’t it time for you to review yourself?

“Just call me Xu Fan.”

After shaking hands with Hiroshi Inodo, Xu Fan sat down opposite him and said directly: “Mr. Inodo, my request is very simple. ”

“12% manuscript tax, no illustrator fees.”

Hiroaki Ito frowned slightly.

Most writers, when talking about works that may be filmed, the first thing they ask for is the box office share.

This kind of requirement is actually in line with Hiroaki Inodo’s psychology.

An anime movie, especially an anime movie that does not cost a lot of production to make, simply does not make much money at the box office after it is released, and not every anime movie calls you by your name.

A low-quality and low-cost movie like this, even if it is divided into 2% or 3% of the box office share, can have a few million.

And after moving to the big screen, the sales of light novels have skyrocketed, and this is where the real money is made.

Before coming, Hiroaki Ido had just had dinner with the administrator of the novelist’s website, and he also got Xu Fan’s information smoothly.

But he did not find that Xu Fan had any hidden identity.

The name Xu Fan has not appeared once on the Internet, as if he is really a newcomer.

In fact, Hiroaki Idsuchi did not know that the reason why the name Xu Fan did not appear in the public’s field of vision was because of the intentional action of the electric shock library.

Although Kagurazaka Calamus was a little grinning, he also knew that Xu Fan was a cornucopia.

How is it possible to get others to pay attention to him.

So when the Bone King released the first volume, the Denko Library had a meeting because of the secrecy of Xu Fan’s identity.

“Sorry, Xu Jun.”

“12% royalties, Kadokawa Bunko really can’t give.”

“You’re just a newcomer after all, and the maximum royalty I can get for you for the first book is 10%, and it’s also included in the illustrator’s fee.”

“I think you don’t know much about the industry.”

“I can guarantee that all of Neon’s libraries will never give a 12% royalty price.”

“But Xu Jun, you should be able to understand one thing, as long as you sign a contract with Kadokawa Bunko, you will get a huge amount of exposure.”

“I can guarantee that in less than three years, your royalty price will definitely reach more than 15%, and what you lack now is only a period of precipitation.”

“Xu Jun, please trust me! Working with Kadokawa Bunko will definitely be the most correct decision you will make in your life. ”

Since it is a newcomer, the 12% royalty does not come with the cost of an illustrator.

Hiroaki Inodo is naturally unacceptable.

“Then there is no need to talk about it.”

Xu Fan got up, paid the bill and left the coffee shop directly.

Hiroaki Inoto took a sip of coffee and did not hold back.

These proud newcomer writers, he doesn’t know how many he has seen, after hitting a wall, he will naturally look for him again.

Xu Fan who left the coffee shop.

Wordlessly shook his head.

This editor-in-chief, Hiroaki Inodo, actually drew a pie for him?

However, this set of rhetoric is inevitably too old-fashioned.

After removing the illustrator, there is only 8% royalty, which seems to really treat him as a new person.

No wonder this guy’s attitude today seems so casual compared to before.

……

Immortal River.

Office of the Editor-in-Chief.

Machida Enko stared at the frowning editor-in-chief and said, “Editor-in-chief, 12% royalty is really not high, and I don’t even think that 12% royalty Lucifer writers may agree.” ”

“But he’s just a new writer.”

“New writer?”

Machida Enko exploded at once: “Editor-in-chief, you are not mistaken!” ”

“This kind of writing you tell me is a new writer?”

“Besides, even if you are a new writer, don’t you just have strength, do you know why we can never compare with the electric shock library, and never grab talented writers?”

“In the Chinese proverb: one soldier bears, one will bear a nest.”

“Mr. Satan is not also a newcomer, but the shock library still gives 12% royalties, and it does not include the cost of illustrators.”

“Editor-in-chief, I finally found a talented author, if you don’t agree to this 12% manuscript tax, then I will resign, resign today, and hold my breath!”

The editor-in-chief hesitated for a long time.

There was still no sign of letting go, Machida Enko could give such a high price, but he really felt unsure.

Including the illustrator’s 2% royalty, that’s 14% royalty.

Royalties at this price, if this light novel does not sell more than 100,000 copies, it will be a loss-making business.

“Editor-in-chief, aren’t you worried about selling badly?”

Machida followed closely and said, “Have you forgotten that this kind of short light novel is the most suitable for adapting it into a movie. ”

“As long as the movie is released, you still worry about whether the sales will go up?”

“And if the book can’t be adapted into a movie, then I don’t think it will be less than 100,000 sales.”

“You can see, now the novelist website, the number of hits for this novel.”

“Hundreds of thousands of hits, how can this kind of novel that can be popular on the Internet not sell!”

“Editor-in-chief, sober up!”

Machida Enko really felt that she had broken her heart.

The editor-in-chief is good at everything, good to the staff and his writers, but his personality is too indecisive.

Originally, the Immortal River Bunko was a small library.

You still don’t want to sign some potential authors, isn’t that a vicious circle in the end?

“Good!”

“This matter will be left to you, and you have full authority to handle it.”

“As for me, I also applied for the qualification for animation after fighting for my life, so I won’t do this editor-in-chief.”

The editor-in-chief’s eyes showed a hint of sharpness.

Being said so by his own subordinates, he also has a temper.

Since you want to fight, then fight a big one.

If you don’t succeed, you will become a benefactor!
