Chapter 1007: The big plan of three horses and one wood
In fact, for Miss Uehara, the publication of Sword Art Online is not a big deal at all. If only the Lightning Broadcom family came to her, she would just send an assistant to talk.
The problem this time is that several library libraries have come to the door. Miss Uehara’s main problem is to deal with the dissatisfaction of other library libraries. However, since Sanma and Yimu have taken the initiative to come to Shenzhen to discuss, this sincerity alone is enough to make other publishers have nothing to say.
After just sitting down and greeting for a while, I immediately prepared to start talking about publishing.
"Speaking of this novel, what is the intention of Mr. Kawahara?" Sanma Yiki asked a very important content.
In fact, the royalty of novels is not something that the author sells to a publisher or website. According to the sales volume, the author of the novel will be given the royalty fee. Moreover, different novel authors may have other ideas about publishing. There are also issues such as the authorization of online copyright and paper copyright, etc.
If it is the author of the Lightning Strike Library, all these contents will be negotiated before signing the contract with the writer. Basically, once the contract is signed, the other work has nothing to do with the author except for the royalties and signatures.
The subsequent animation is absolutely impossible to stop because the author has any dissatisfaction. For example, the author is unsatisfied, so he needs to modify the ending and character design. Animation companies and library may ask the author for their opinions, but the opinions are just opinions, and the production process will never be delayed due to the author's reasons.
It’s not that there are no authors who have expressed dissatisfaction on the Internet, and they are also authors with a high status. The final result is just a few sentences, whether it is too bad or too bad after the animation.
Of course, they also follow the rules, and before signing the contract, the author's opinions are still very important.
"This matter..." Miss Uehara subconsciously looked at Hao Ping.
Hao Ping coughed softly and said, "Teacher Kawahara, I am my friend..."
As soon as this topic was spoken, Miss Uehara's heart was almost overwhelmed, but her expression was still calm. Hao Ping continued: "He has fully entrusted the relevant rights to publishing to our website. Our firm can fully represent Mr. Kawahara's opinions."
"That's good." Sanma Yimu said satisfied, "This must be Mr. Hao Ping, the 'father of virtual idols'. I have long wanted to meet you, and our editor-in-chief praised you..."
In fact, Hao Ping's "good friends" have not only been inside the firm, but also outside the company, but also relevant industry personnel are quite interested in complaining about this: they have not thought about checking the origins of Hao Ping's friends, such as the Xiwei Reform Commission. If they can take the opportunity to dig up people, wouldn't it be a great thing? But if they checked carefully, they could not find any information at all.
It was not until some time ago that Miss Uehara was cheated on the stage and returned after making her debut and sold Hao Ping, that they turned their eyes to Hao Ping. As a result, they found out a bunch of "Hao Ping's friends".
Moreover, the names of a group of Japanese people are only known to Hao Ping in the whole of Japan... It is impossible for normal people to believe such things.
Now the industry has basically agreed that these novels are the original cases of the project, so that when Sanma Yimu just heard Hao Ping say "It's my friend...", he agreed that the author is actually Hao Ping.
Since Hao Ping said there was no problem, the author said there was no problem.
Of course, as for why Hao Ping didn't admit that he was the author, he also took several different pseudonyms. Most people think of the three major G clubs that are very exciting to make money now: idol masters, love live and fate series. Mr. Hao Ping must be busy with idol planning that makes money every day, so light novels are completely fun.
Regarding all this, Hao Ping said: "..."
Of course, this also made Sanma Yimu's thoughts: he really hoped to get the original author of "Sword Art Online" under the Lightning Blog, but if he was "Hao Ping's friend", he would have no hope.
The subsequent negotiations went smoothly: After all, publishing a novel is something that Miss Uehara and the Lightning Strike Library often experience. The Lightning Strike Library has its own bottom line for royalties and related authorizations, and there is no problem when it comes to a certain level.
"The publication of "Sword Art Online" will be handed over to your club..." Miss Uehara signed the authorization letter and then asked Sanma and Yimudao.
"Please rest assured by President Uehara. This time I will be the editor myself and I will definitely attach importance to the release of "Sword Art Online"!" Sanma Yimu said hurriedly.
As the deputy editor of the Lightning Strike Library, being an editor in person can indeed prove that the Lightning Strike Library attaches great importance to "Sword Art Online", and Miss Uehara is very satisfied with this.
"By the way, Asuna's voice actor, Miss Asani, said a few days ago that it would be great if it could be published when it was published..."
"This is also in our plan." Miss Uehara said halfway, and Sanma Yimu took it over. "Our plan is also to make hardcover books, and the hardcover books such as the Wenku version will be released for a period of time before they are released."
"It has been serialized online, are you still willing to publish a hardcover book?" Hao Ping was a little curious.
"Of course, I'm really optimistic about this novel. I also read the serial part of this novel a few days ago." Sanma Yiki should have really read the novel part of "Sword Art Online". "But I think it's a pity. Why did Kirito suddenly knock the boss down and pass the level? This part ended too hastily."
"Uh..." Hao Ping didn't know how to explain, and couldn't say much for a moment.
Sanma Yimu was very excited: "But I learned about Mr. Hao Ping's... Well, after Mr. Hao Ping's friend's "Fate" series, I suddenly understood your thoughts: the reason why I didn't finish all the maps of Sword Art Online, especially the content of the intermediate leveling, must be to leave an open worldview and leave a foreshadowing for the future development of "Sword Art Online"!"
“…”
Hao Ping was a little confused. What was this guy talking about?
"My thought is this: Since sao has such a big world view and so many gamers, we can actually not be bound by Kirito's perspective. I plan to contact some novel writers after the sales volume of the novel will increase, and write stories of other gamers based on the world view of "Sword Art Online". Even more, we can also write some contents of other games... Isn't there any world view of alo after sao? We can completely further develop this world view... I am already excited now!"
Hao Ping thought calmly, analyzed carefully, and concluded: "...You are really my friend Mr. Kawahara's confidant!"
"Where are there," Sanma Yimu smiled, "I will ask your club to cooperate in depth with us at that time."
Hao Ping slapped his chest and said, "No problem, no problem..."
Chapter completed!
