To be honest, he himself doesn't think much of the remuneration and royalties provided by "April Youth".

After all, in addition to the channel of Anjiu Bookstore, I have also attracted the attention of many book reviewers.

After being promoted through channels and book reviews, their works can bring more benefits to themselves than working for others.

But if he cooperates with the other party, he may reap a favor.

After all, the icing on the cake is far inferior to sending charcoal in the snow.

Although the sales of "April Youth" have dropped a lot, it is still a magazine after all, which is one of the four major publishing houses.

Seeing that Yuuto Akihara was still pondering, Aiko Asano continued.

"Akihara, I think the contract should be amended and the scope of cooperation should be limited to serialization and not other aspects."

When Akihara Yuto heard these words, he was a little confused for a while, but he quickly reacted.

"Asano, what you mean is that the rights to the booklet and ancillary copyrights such as film and television are reserved in our own hands."

Asano Aiko nodded, and added: "As a large publishing house, Kejiaokan must have restrictions on the sharing of royalties. I think 30 is already the upper limit, and it is difficult to make further concessions."

"In this case, Qiuyuan, you only need to serialize it. After all, what the other party values ​​most is the role of the work in boosting the sales of "April Youth", right?"

Hiroto Akihara nodded, if that's the case, it still makes sense.

I can completely make a work famous in "April Youth" through serialization, and then distribute the work at my own expense through the channel of Anjiu Bookstore.

According to this operation, I can take into account both the favor of the teaching center and the interests of the booklet.

Asano Aiko smiled.

"Qiuyuan, besides what I just said, the work on the book "Death by Wrongdoing" is also progressing steadily. If you plan to release another work, Qiuyuan, the current Anjiu Bookstore's publicity resources and other aspects may not be able to take care of it..."

After listening to this explanation, Akihara Hiroto also showed an embarrassed expression.

He has neglected this point. Generally speaking, when writers publish booklets, they usually only publish one book every once in a while. Only in this way can they make full use of publicity resources.

So now if I release my work again, I feel a bit like crashing with myself.

Looking at it this way, accepting the invitation of "April Youth" will help me to get through this empty window...

Hiroto Akihara took a sip of water and said.

"Asano, I see, then I'll contact that editor Awazu in the next two days."

……

After confirming their own ideas, Akihara Yuto and Asano Aiko briefly chatted about other aspects of cooperation with Anjiu Bookstore.

But what puzzled him was that Aiko Asano said that although the employees of Anjiu Bookstore were serious about their work, they were a bit gossip, which made her a little depressed.

Akihara Yuto was a little puzzled after hearing this. In his impression, those people shouldn't be like this, right?

Forget it, as long as it doesn't affect your own book distribution.

Akihara Yuto shook his head, bid farewell to Asano Aiko, and walked towards his home.

After a 15-minute walk, he sat down at his desk on the second floor.

What should I write in my next book?

Hiroto Akihara held a pen, looked at the paper on the table and fell into thought.

Now I am working with "April Youth", so there is no need to come up with any particularly classic works.

In this case, should I follow my previous thinking and continue to adapt a foreign reasoning work?

Anyway, "April Youth" only needs to be serialized by itself, and there is no requirement for what to write.

Hiroto Akihara nodded, and then made a decision to use "April Youth" as a test field.

Having said that, what exactly did I write?

He held the pen, and then wrote down the names of three reasoning works on the paper: "Murder on the Orient Express", "Witness for the Prosecution", and "None Survived".

These three works are all the works of the reasoning queen Agatha, and this writer was also very popular in Japan in his previous life.

"Murder on the Orient Express" is about a murder case on the luxury train "Orient Express". Fierce story.

In the previous life, this work was adapted into a local version by Neon.

Although I haven't seen the adapted version of Neon, I just need to adjust the background and era of the protagonist in this story.

So the adaptation will not be very difficult.

"Witness for the Prosecution" is about a man accused of murdering a rich woman. Although the man repeatedly claims his innocence, his wife turns up in court to prove that he was the murderer.

It wasn't until the appearance of a mysterious woman that things took a turn for the better...

This story involves courts and legal principles, so it is still a bit troublesome to adapt.

In order to do a good job in the adaptation work, it may be necessary to have an in-depth understanding of Japan's judicial and legal systems.

As for "And There Were None", it tells the story of eight strangers who are invited to the island Negro Island. After they arrive, they are received by a couple of housekeepers.

After that, these 10 people began to die one by one...

This story involves killing a nursery rhyme, so I need to go to Neon Folk to find out if there is a similar song.

In addition, there are many other social, legal and medical aspects involved.

It seems that the difficulty of editing is still a little bit bigger.

Hiroto Akihara frowned and thought about it. He suddenly thought of a problem. Although these three works are a little old, they are still very classic. They make "April Youth" a bit of a waste.

So what should I do?You can't make your own, can you?

At this moment, a plot suddenly flashed in his mind.

A murder case occurred in a closed hotel room: a female photographer was killed, but besides her, there was only her rich lover in the room.

After the police arrived at the scene, they quickly took the lover under control and believed him to be the murderer.

Faced with the police's accusation, the lover naturally refused to give up, and called a lawyer, claiming that he was framed and that the murderer was someone else.

But what puzzled the lawyer was that the doors and windows of the room were all closed, and it was completely a secret room.

How about this work?
