God of the Black Basket
Chapter 010
At 6:30 p.m., the private Chengrin High School.
After a day of training, Xiao Ye was the last to leave.
He had just acquired a new skill, Eagle Eye, and was in urgent need of practice, and after more than two hours of familiarization, this skill was almost thoroughly eaten by him.
Grabbing his school bag, Xiao Ye closed the door of the gymnasium and left alone.
As soon as I reached the school gate, a cheerful voice came from the right hand side.
“Hi~”
Xiao Ye heard the prestige, and saw Momoi May, who had a relationship last night, smiling and waving at him.
“Why are you here?”
“I just happened to have something to find you, it’s so late, I thought you had already finished training.”
Xiao Ye rolled his eyes and suddenly said, “You came just in time, you are a native of Tokyo, right?” ”
“Huh?”
“I wrote a novel and was looking for a company to submit it, if you are familiar with it, take me with you.” Xiao Ye smiled and said, “Didn’t you say that something was looking for me?” You do me this favor, I treat you to ice cream. ”
Momoi May thought about it and nodded happily in agreement, not knowing if it was because of the matter or because of the ice cream.
“Kyoto’s most famous publishing house, if it’s close, it’s Kadokawa Shoten. Then again, you can write novels. She introduced first, then expressed surprise.
“Life is compelled.” Xiao Ye was helpless.
Momoi May couldn’t help but laugh, “You shouldn’t have found a place to live yet, right?” ”
“Are you still willing to take me in tonight?” Xiao Ye said jokingly.
“If you win.”
After Little Peach said a word, he took Xiao Ye to find Kadokawa Bookstore.
Twenty minutes later, Kadokawa Shoten Co., Ltd.
After Xiao Ye expressed his intentions, the girl at the front desk notified the editorial department, and then a twenty-seven-eight-year-old editor with thick eyebrows went downstairs and took the two to a single room.
Xiao Ye sat with Momoi May, quietly waiting for the editor to review the manuscript.
There is indeed a problem with my youth love story, referred to as “Spring Thing”.
The first volume of this novel is about 120,000 words, and with the reading level of a professional editor, it can be read in at most 20 minutes.
However, after a full forty minutes, the editor closed Xiao Ye’s notebook in silence.
“What a faux pas, what do you two want to drink?” With a little smile on his face, he asked.
“Water, thanks.”
“I want a Coke.” Little Peach Tian asked shamelessly, with a smile on her face.
“Okay, wait a minute.”
It didn’t take long for the editor to return with his things.
“Forgot to introduce myself, my name is Masaki Nakai, which one is the original author?”
“I am, my name is Xiao Ye. She is my friend, May Momoi. ”
After learning that Little Peach was just a passerby, Nakai Masako locked his gaze on Xiao Ye.
“Xiao Yejun, your novel meets the requirements of our publishing house, and I am personally optimistic about it. What are your requirements for manuscript fees? ”
He talked in an equal tone, and took the initiative to raise the issue of manuscript fees, which made Xiao Ye slightly relieved.
“I don’t know what kind of contract your company generally uses for new authors?”
“We use a guarantee plus royalty share, which guarantees 2,000 yen per thousand words and 10% of the royalty. If you agree, we can sign the contract immediately. “Masako Nakai seems to be really optimistic and directly proposed to sign a contract.
2,000 yen per thousand words, calculated according to 120,000 words, is 240,000 yen, which is quite good for Xiao Ye, who is in urgent need of money.
What’s more, there is a 10% royalty, a single book costs 600 yen, and 10% is 60 yen.
Xiao Ye is quite clear that “Spring Things” is the number one in the sales list for a long time, and it can sell millions of copies within a year.
“Yes.” Immediately, Xiao Ye chose to sign a contract, “However, I have a condition. ”
“Please say.” Nakaju Zheng smiled and nodded, it was good to be able to sign a contract, this kind of book is not signed, other publishing houses will also sign, as long as Xiao Ye’s conditions are not excessive, he completely agrees.
“From the first day of release, more than 100,000 copies were sold in a month, and I asked for an increase in royalties. After that, for each additional 100,000 copies, royalties increase by 1%. ”
“100,000 copies a month?” Nakai Masaka said in surprise: “This is a sales that can only be reached by a popular novel.” There are few novels that can do it in a year, let alone newcomers who are not famous. ”
Xiao Ye smiled slightly and said, “My condition is this, do you agree?” ”
“I agree, it can be written into the contract,” Nakai Masako didn’t think too much, nodded directly, and said, “There is no other problem, let’s sign the contract.” ”
Soon, Nakai Masako drew up the contract, Xiao Ye briefly looked at it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signed his name and pen name.
Pseudonym: Flying Shark!
“Okay, this is my business card, if there is anything, you can call me.”
After finishing his business, Zhongju Zhenggong handed over a business card, and at the same time asked: “Xiao Yejun, since just now, I have been very curious, the name Xiao Ye… You can’t be a foreigner, right? ”
“I’m an international student of the Celestial Empire.”
Masato Nakai was speechless for a moment, “It’s amazing, I am so proficient in Japanese.” ”
In this regard, Xiao Ye just smiled, he didn’t know Japanese, it was all the ability that the system came with.
After receiving the signing fee of 240,000 yen, Xiao Ye and Momoi May left Kadokawa Shoten.
As soon as he left the company, Momoi May said in amazement: “You dare to really pass, you are so good, not only can you play basketball well, but you can even write novels.” ”
“I’m just a porter.” Xiao Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, “By the way, thank you for your help, I invited you to dinner, by the way, tell me what you are looking for me.” ”
“Well, I haven’t eaten yet.” After a pause, she said seriously: “I am looking for you, in fact, I want you to compete with someone in basketball.” ”
“Competition? Who? Xiao Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.
This girl ran around with him, but just to find him to duel with someone?
Last night she saw her basketball level, just like that, she still found herself, then think about it, there is only one possibility.
“One of the generations of miracles… Daiki Aomine! ”
