003 Can a novel be written like this?
"As a newcomer without a fan base, you should write the selling points directly in the introduction."
Hideo Kikuji shook her head and clicked on the main text.
"First person?"
He resisted the urge to try to make a fork and continued to read.
It’s not that the first person is not good, but it’s really not suitable for newcomers.
"The writing style is quite spiritual, and this passage of complaints is very sharp."
Nobuji Kikuji became a little interested.
"The background of the story takes place on campus? The structure is completely different from the mainstream theme. Do you want to write a story about youth love?"
[I am Suzumiya Haruhi from Dongzhong. I have no interest in ordinary humans! If there are aliens, future people, visitors from another world or superpowers among you, come to me, and it's over.]
"The character of Haruhi Suzumiya is quite interesting, more interesting than the same, and the princess in the Demon Realm who is devoted to the male protagonist."
"Oh, this Nagato Yuki's setting is even more powerful, White-haired Sanwu Glasses Girl?"
"Asaina Shikuru...the young-looking senior sister!"
The editor of the Matcha Library has unknowingly been completely trapped in the story of Haruhi Suzumiya.
"This novel is correct in the first person!"
Nobuji Kikuji overturned his previous words without any moral integrity.
Only the first person can be more thoroughly incorporated into the role of the male protagonist "Axu", and can we get the various benefits distributed by the cute dynasty Bina more intuitively!
Whether it is a bunny girl or a maid outfit, it makes Kikuji Shinji's bloodline burst out, not to mention those young people who are not very experienced in the world.
"Just relying on the character of Asahina Shikuru, Ye Xiao is enough to debut as a novelist!"
"I didn't expect that it would be so exciting if I didn't write about Dragon Quest!"
When Nagato Akihi's alien identity as "Information Integrated Missing Body Humanoid Contact Device" was revealed, Kikuchi Nobuji suddenly felt a chill.
"This... this is actually a science fiction article!"
"The background setting of the campus club is refreshing. I didn't expect that Night Owl could add such hardcore elements!"
"Asakhina is actually a future person? Her 'different time all-point body' is so awesome!"
"So the fourth club of Guquan Yishu is the superpower?"
"The gods and men in the locked space are destroying the world?"
"Suzumiya Haruhi is the god who created this world!!!"
“…”
The cigarette was burning to the point where only the cigarette was left, but Kikuji Nobuji did not make any new ones.
Suddenly, he suddenly stood up, smashed his hands heavily on the table, and shouted excitedly:
"The novel can still be written like this!!!"
Plop.
A sleepy editor was frightened to the ground, and everyone's attention was attracted.
They shouted dissatisfiedly: "Xin Er, you bastard, what's the name of a ghost in the office!"
"Yes, I almost had a heart attack!"
"Damn it, if you don't give us a reasonable explanation, you will have to pay for the coffee tonight!"
Nobuji Kikuji had no sign of guilt, and clicked the mouse to share Lin Fei's submission with other editors.
"Haha, you'll know after reading this. You'll only be more excited than me!"
The editors were confused. Even the best novels would not be like this.
I have been an editor for so many years, but who hasn't seen a few great novels?
"Suzumiya Haruhi's melancholy?"
"Night Owl?"
"Kidi, are you playing tricks on us? This is a newcomer's game!"
At first, the editors in the office didn't want to read the main text at all, but seeing Kikuji Nobuyi's appearance as if he was honest, out of trust in his colleagues, they decided to take a few glances.
"It's almost time to get off work anyway."
The office soon became quiet, and the slightly helpless expressions on the editors' faces gradually disappeared.
Instead, they were the gentleman's smile on the corners of their mouths. Obviously, they were also conquered by the daily life of the SOS group, just like Kikuji Nobuji!
"Nee-! Could this night owl be the new vest of any great god?"
"I don't care. Asahina Shikuru will be my wife from now on!"
"Nonsense, I am Shikuruchan's man!"
"Hey hey hey, isn't anyone like Nagato Yuki? No one loves the white hair?"
"Actually, I want to be trampled under my feet by Haruhi Suzumiya..."
"Ahem, I'm different from you. I just want to exchange positions with the unlucky president of the computer club!"
When the novel's worldview was gradually revealed, the office was boiling again.
"The logical consistency of science fiction components is so awesome!"
"Yes, I wonder if our world was created by a high school student."
"A carnival of idealism."
"From now on, I will be a fan of Ye Xiao Da!"
Behind were the noisy colleagues. Nobuji Kikuji, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, took out his cell phone and entered the phone number left by Lin Fei. After thinking about it, he did not dial.
"At this time, Ye Xiaodi should be sleeping."
As a mature editor, he naturally knows how to please a new writer who is about to become a god.
...
Until nine o'clock the next day, Kikuji Shin-ji called Lin Fei.
This is a very clever time point. If it is too early, it may disturb the night owl's rest. If it is too late, it will make them seem to not pay enough attention to the matcha library.
Although Lin Fei's book has not been tested by the market, Nobuji Kikuchi has become his fan.
This call is not only called by the editor to the author, but also by the book fans to the novelist.
"Hello, is it Ye Xiao Da? I am your fan, no, I am Kikuji Nobuji, the editor of Matcha Library!"
Nobuji Kikuchi was actually a little nervous.
"Yeah, I'm."
Lin Fei had expected the editor's call.
When Kikuji Nobuji heard the young voice on the other end of the phone, he was a little surprised. He thought Ye Xiao was a middle-aged uncle.
After all, the experienced driving skills and mature writing style are not like what a young man can do.
"It's so. I'm very optimistic about your work "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", so I want to sign a royalty-sharing contract with you."
“At the current market price, you can get 5% of the royalty income. I wonder what you mean by that?”
Lin Fei's mouth curled up slightly, like a fox waiting for prey, "I don't want a royalty-sharing contract."
If you follow the normal process and the royalty money will never be able to be paid within half a month, then you will not be able to resolve the current crisis at home.
He wouldn't let his sister go to work in Kabukicho.
“…You mean, do you want us to buy out your work?”
According to the quality of "Haruhi Suzumiya Suzumiya", it is not impossible to take the buyout route.
But Ye Xiao is just a newcomer and has no representative work. The price he can win will not be very high, so it is better to use royalties to share the money.
“How much do you want?”
"Five million yen!"
Lin Fei has learned about the market and calculated based on 5% of the royalties, he can get about 30 yen for each book sold.
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" sold more than 500,000 copies in the first year of its release in the previous life. Based on this sales volume, the royalty is 15 million yen.
What's more, the market here is more prosperous than the same timeline in the previous life, so sales will definitely be higher or lower.
"One...one thousand five million yen?"
Chapter completed!
