Chapter 24 Royalty Issues

“It would be a novel that caused a sensation.”

Jiang Zhe's expression stabilized and he spoke calmly.

The tone is not very exciting, only a faint confidence.

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Machida Yuanzi's eyes.

She was still a little surprised that Jiang Zhe, a young man, could quickly stabilize and regain the dominance of his discourse at this time.

Not to mention anything else.

But the current scenario is actually not much different from commercial negotiations.

The publisher is responsible for publishing your novels, and you gain fame and profit from them. This is originally a commercial contract.

So in this case, whoever can take the initiative will win.

As a publishing house, Machida Yuanko knew the potential of this novel very well, so the purpose of her visit to this conversation was not to sign a contract or not, but to what extent she wanted to carry out the contract.

Generally speaking, the treatment of newcomers is definitely not very good.

But can Jiang Zhe make a conclusion based on the word "newcomer"?

"The world of novels is a fantasy." Jiang Zhe spoke again, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

"The content inside is the world constructed by the author."

"We are a dream builder who builds our imaginations in such short words, bringing them to readers and gaining their recognition."

"Azhe means..." Machida Yuanzi narrowed her eyes.

She almost understood what Jiang Zhe wanted to say.

But the rhythm was inevitably brought into the home court by the opponent.

She originally wanted to use her own experience to suppress this young genius.

But it turns out-

A genius is a genius.

"Whoever grasps fantasy can write the best novel."

Jiang Zhe smiled.

"I'm not the best one I wrote, but I believe I will be the best one I wrote."

"And the all-metal frenzy will definitely be the most shocking one."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhe stopped his words and looked at Machida Yuanzi.

When the other party asked about his opinion on the novel, he was definitely not the content.

Because they are professional editors, I don’t know how many of the works they have read are good.

Under their eyes, the quality of a novel and the excitement of the content can naturally be seen at a glance.

So no matter how much Jiang Zhe thought about the content, the result would be that he could only fall into the opponent's home court and the whole set.

In that case, the one who takes the initiative will be the opposite lady.

This is how the art of conversation is.

You have to learn to break out of the circles designed by others for you.

Jiang Zhe didn't have much to do, just express his strengths fully.

This is what my novel is, there are so many things.

If you put these unrefutable things here, I will be invincible if you say anything else.

"Teacher Jiang Zhe seems to be a very confident person."

Machida Yuanzi smiled, picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip.

Jiang Zhe noticed that her name for herself had changed again, and she used this obvious unnutritional discourse as a buffer. I guess this royal sister should be reorganizing her language at this moment?

This is how Jiang Zhe thought.

But it turns out that he still underestimated these workplace elites.

The other party didn't say anything more. After putting down the teacup, he took out the prepared contract directly from behind.

"This is what the president told me to show Teacher Jiang Zhe before coming."

Go straight to the point and go straight to the point.

Jiang Zhe was just stunned for a moment, then nodded and took over the other party's contract.

There are many things in treaties, but in fact there are only a few aspects that need to be paid attention to.

After quickly scanning the content of the contract and remembering it completely in his heart, Jiang Zhe silently said "like" in his heart.

For the author Jiang Zhe, the main thing I look at when looking at the contract is actually about royalties.

That is, the issue of royalties.

For new authors, the general choice of royalties is to buy out, that is, how much does a thousand words cost, and pay it in one go.

Because newcomers are not very famous and are eager to publish, such conditions are generally acceptable.

But of course Jiang Zhe could not follow such regulations.

Then the rest is royalties.

The world where Jiang Zhe is now is extremely valued by the cultural industry, and the royalties are far more than before. It can be said to be a paradise for creators.

Let’s talk about light novels.

In the light novel industry in the past life, the royalties were generally around 10%, which is a very reasonable number.

And here, the royalties are much higher.

Starting at 15%!

This is already an exaggerated number.

In Jiang Zhe's previous life, I'm afraid only those top industry players with a book that sells for tens of millions can own this price.

But here, it's just a starting price.

Don't talk about gossip.

At this moment, what was placed in front of Jiang Zhe was two contracts with little difference.

Jiang Tsawa didn't know how many spare contracts were placed in the bag behind Machida Yuanzi, but I believe that there were definitely more than two copies from low to high.

The two that are placed in front of me now should be the one with the most sincerity among them.

This is indeed the case.

"One share is 18% royalty, which is the biggest share we can give to newcomers."

Machida Yuanko spoke, staring at Jiang Zhe's eyes.

But she could not see any emotional fluctuations in the boy's black eyes.

“One other…”

“Stairway royalty sharing?”

Jiang Zhe put down the contract in his hand and showed an interest on his face.

The 18% royalty is already an unexpected price.

You should know that the top writers in this world have only about 20% of their share at this moment.

Immortal Chuan almost treated him as the top author and treated him with an attitude towards the great gods. It was just because of the identity of the newcomer that it was slightly reduced by two percentage points.

And another contract is even more interesting.

It turned out to be the legendary step-like royalty sharing - this is what Jiang Zhe likes to use when he reads novels in his previous life, and the protagonist of urban literature pretends to slap in the face.

Well... it's based on sales as the judgment point.

First, you will give you a basic royalty share, and then look at the sales volume. If the sales volume reaches a certain point, you will be given more royalty share.

This is the contract given by Fukuichuan.

Basic royalties are divided into 12%.

This is a pretty low number.

"The domestic sales volume exceeds 100,000 copies, and the royalty will become 15%. If more than 300,000 copies, the royalty will be increased to 18%, if more than 600,000 copies, the royalty will reach 20%?"

Jiang Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly about this line of content.

interesting……

But how is this enough?

Even for hype, this thing must be changed.

For example, say...

Less than 100,000 copies, no penny is required.

More than one million, 30% royalty.

In this way, isn’t it more hype?

‘The proud and confident genius, the gambling of hell and heaven.’
