The depressing writer of the anime series, Xue No cried and begged for a break

"Teacher Ikaros, Fujii, what is this..."

Gao Chuanshuo's words are concise and comprehensive:

“Coffee, everyone!”

Before, he planned to let Miss Fujii make it herself!

But think about it.

Miss Fujii is not her bed warmer, so it’s not a good idea to do this!

Moreover, he made five million and treated people to instant drinks... This made him seem a bit stingy.

Ahem, of course he is not a particularly stingy person, right?

He simply bought it directly from Xing’s house downstairs!

And it supports door-to-door delivery, which is really convenient.

Someone immediately became happy and asked curiously:

"Teacher Ikaros, Fujii, why did you suddenly invite us for coffee? By the way, Mr. Ikuhara's commission has been completed, and our department will have a party tonight..."

However, before he could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they had thought of something!

They all turned to look at Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, only to see her smiling and saying, "Why, didn't you ask Teacher Ikaros to buy you coffee after he got the bounty?"

"Here we go," said the editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka with a faint smile.

Eh?

The others looked at the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka who had finished his joy, and then looked at Takagawa Saku, who looked humble but heartbroken over the coffee money, like a pigeon that had been hit on the head by Doudou.

Until a moment later, they were responsible for one-third of global warming!

“That’s amazing!”

"So, it was really Mr. Ikaros who completed the commission?"

"That's amazing! Even Mr. Furuhashi's work wasn't appreciated. I thought it was Mr. Senjumura Masaru who did it!"

"Oh my god, Mr. Ikaros must have been sent down from heaven to save our department's bonus!"

"Teacher Ikaros, please accept my greeting!"

"Wow, I'm so touched. Please forgive me for treating Mr. Ikaros's words as a joke. I was a clown!"

"Teacher Ikaros is truly the eternal god. He just won the Rookie of the Year title and helped our department solve a big problem!"

this moment!

The way they looked at Gao Chuanshuo was different!

If he was a cute little brother with some strength before, now he has become too powerful!

Of course, Gao Chuanshuo is still relatively humble.

He tactfully expressed that it was because he was lucky!

So he asked Miss Fujii to serve them coffee.

Then he followed Miss Kagurazaka into a luxurious office.

After all, for him!

Signing the contract and getting paid is the real thing.

……

After Takagawa Saku entered the office, the other editors looked at Fujii Yuna, who was distributing coffee efficiently and seriously, and their eyes were immediately filled with envy and jealousy.

"Damn it, I'm suddenly a little envious of Fujii!"

"When can I sign a contract with a master like Senjumura Masaru and Ikaros?"

"Take a nap. You can dream about anything..."

"I have a feeling that the boss will promote Fujii to deputy editor-in-chief soon!"

"..."

Chapter 3: Set a small goal, become a Thor writer first! (6/)

Inside the Kagurazaka office.

"Teacher Ikaros, what would you like to drink?" Kagurazaka said with a faint smile.

"Coke is fine!"

He can drink coffee, but prefers Coke.

Kagurazaka took out a can of Coke from the freezer nearby and handed it to Takagawa Saku.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Ikaros, for helping our Kagurazaka group solve a big problem!"

“Actually, I did it for myself.”

"We are all doing this for ourselves. If this order fails, the orders for various adaptation works assigned to the Kagurazaka group will decrease in the future, and everyone's life will be difficult then." Kagurazaka still smiled.

Gao Chuanshuo understood instantly, "I understand."

Then Kagurazaka handed Takagawa Saku several documents:

"So, to repay you, we have prepared some surprises for you."

As if not wanting to lose even a moment, Kagurazaka showed his eagerness to secure the prize.

"Surprise?" Gao Chuanshuo looked puzzled.

The first document that catches your eye is the contract for entrusting copyright operations.

"We are currently discussing the price of the animation script of Plastic Memories with the relevant departments of Daicon3 Animation Studio. We promise to give you a satisfactory answer!"

"Okay." Gao Chuanshuo took a look at the key part of the contract.

No problem, sign!

"After discussion, we have decided that the company will no longer share the profits and will give you the full amount of the reward."

"In addition, our department has decided to adjust your contract level to a Class B elite writer contract, and your share of royalties for your works will be increased to 10%."

"why?"

Gao Chuanshuo suddenly became suspicious and asked curiously.

He was also a little surprised!

This is an extra 500 million yen, and he thought he should ask clearly.

Kagurazaka said: "There are twelve of our editing groups, and each group basically has a Thor writer. Four of them don't have a Thor writer, but they have more signature writers... So in terms of average strength, each group is about the same. But because our group is a new editing group, and the only Thor writer, Senjumura Masaru, needs to be in seclusion for a year for some reason, our group has always been on the weak side."

Gao Chuanshuo understood:

"It seems that the competition between the various groups in the library is quite intense."

Kagurazaka said:

"It's not that our company is under great competition, it's that the entire industry is under great competition. Dengeki Bunko, Fujimi Shobo, Shueisha, Kodansha, Shogakukan... There are far more writers of light novels in Japan than writers of traditional literature. There are also various competitions and awards every year. I really hope that you can become a trump card for our Kagurazaka Group and even Dengeki Bunko like Senjumura Masaru."

"oh, I understand now."

"Will signing this contract restrict me from publishing my work in other Shinchosha or other magazines?"

"Don't worry, if it's not a long light novel, we naturally have no control over it."

Miss Kagurazaka came closer and whispered:

"In fact, if you really want to, even if it's a light novel, you can just change your pen name and publish it in other libraries, or after reaching a termination, submit it to other libraries, just like Yamada Fairy Sensei."

Gao Chuanshuo immediately understood.

If it was just restricted to light novels, he wouldn't mind.

The future is promising, sign!

Not to mention that the extra 5 million yen can solve his urgent needs!

There will definitely be no problem in buying a store.

The 10% royalties will also be a great boost to the upcoming release of "Four Lies".

The price of non-popular light novels in Dengeki Bunko fluctuates roughly between 700 yen and 800 yen.

10% royalty share.

He could probably get 70-80 yen for one copy of "Four Lies"!

If it becomes popular, it can be sold for up to 1500 yen per copy!

The price is 150 yen per book!

Suddenly, Hikigaya Hachiman's value in his mind soared, maybe even from 50 yen to 150 yen!

For Hikigaya and Totsuka!

There is definitely a promising future ahead, sign it!

After Gao Chuanshuo signed the contract!

Dengeki Bunko's writer Lv instantly jumped from D to B rank.

But there are also A-level and S-level above.

"Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, don't we have a Thor writer in our group? Doesn't the Thor writer get a higher share of royalties from elite writers?"

Kagurazaka nodded:

"The royalties and copyrights of Thor writers are definitely higher than those of other writers, and Thor writers also have many other benefits, such as peripherals, animations, audio, etc. The most important thing is that they can negotiate with the library and get a higher share of the profits from all aspects of the work based on a customized contract..."

Gao Chuanshuo asked the question he really wanted to ask:

"What are the criteria for Thor writers?"

"There must be at least five works with sales of more than three million copies, or a single work with an influence of more than ten million copies, and one of the works has won a substantial and influential award, even if the sales are less than three million copies, it is still considered a work."

"Does Dengeki Bunko's Rookie King count?"

"Calculate."

Gao Chuanshuo took note of it secretly.

If you want a single book to sell for tens of millions and become a big hit, you need the right time, right place, and right people.

But three million is a lot lower.

If the subsequent works are calculated based on each copy, the price will be between 3 million and 10 million.

That means there are still four works to go!

Of course, it would be best if a single film could gross over 10 million.

Kagurazaka patted Takagawa Saku's shoulder and said, "I believe in the potential of Four Lies. I think it will be no problem to sell over three million copies. As long as you give me time, I won't be the author of Thunder God, but I'm sure he will be the signature author."

"Hmm." Gao Chuanshuo seemed to be thinking about something.

"Don't think too far ahead. After all, you have already made a big splash twice in just half a month. You definitely have great potential."

"Yeah." Gao Chuanshuo agreed but had his own ideas.

He had to speed up the pace of publishing his books. After all, only by becoming a Thor writer as soon as possible could he make more money.

In Neon, a world ruled by chaebols!

Only with more money can we do more things.

Light novels and literary creation!

It is just a way for him to accumulate resources.

But you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time!

and so!

Let’s set a small goal first, and start by becoming a Thor writer!
