That would probably only make the other person dislike you even more.
The two walked side by side like that.
It wasn't until Machida Sonoko pushed open the office door that this happened.
"Please come in, both of you."
Machida Sonoko was the first to enter the office.
Step into the clean room, which has a slightly fragrant floral scent.
Kasumigaoka Utaha sat down in the chair with practiced ease.
And Wu Qing, who was new to the area.
Of course, we can't just stand there doing nothing.
So he pulled up a chair.
She casually walked up to Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Machida Sonoko, who had a table set up, pushed aside the pile of manuscripts on it, then filled two glasses of water from the water dispenser and handed them to Kiriharu and Kasumigaoka Utaha.
But neither of them picked it up and drank it.
Because neither of them was thirsty.
If you're just an ordinary office worker, and someone like a leader is pouring you tea, you might pick it up and take a sip even if you're not thirsty.
They felt that this was a way of showing respect to their superiors.
It's roughly the same principle as offering a cigarette.
But neither Kirishi nor Kasumigaoka Utaha were the type to play along; if they didn't want to drink, they wouldn't touch a drop.
"Xiao Shiyu, wait a moment. Ms. Wuyu, let's talk about your matter first, about the publication."
Machida Sonoko rested her chin on her hands and smiled slightly.
This day is finally here.
The final step in the Dragon Raja publishing plan!
"of course."
Wu Qing smiled, crossed her legs, and shrugged.
I saw that Wu Qing came to discuss publishing matters.
Kasumigaoka Utaha silently leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, listening quietly to the conversation between the two.
"First, I need to ask how many drafts of your Dragon Raja series are currently in stock. Are they written from the beginning, or...?"
Machida Sonoko took a sip of water and asked slowly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qing made a rough estimate.
He then answered, "It wasn't written on the spot; I currently have about 1.5 to 1.6 million words in my drafts."
"One million five hundred thousand?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who overheard their conversation.
Upon hearing this enormous number, he instinctively looked at Wu Qing and asked in confusion, "Aren't you afraid of being cut in half?"
Does "canceling a work" mean that because the work is of poor quality, only one copy is published, and the rest are left unsold?
Wu Qing, with her legs crossed.
Weiwei turned his head slightly and spoke to Xia Laofei for the first time.
"..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was momentarily speechless after Kiriharu's intangible remark.
She frowned, withdrew her beautiful, slightly raised body, and silently leaned back in her chair again.
Seeing this, Wu Qing smiled indifferently.
He then turned his handsome face back to Machida Sonoko.
"I'm not afraid of being cut short, because I have confidence in my writing. What I mean is, as a creator, if you don't start writing with the thought that you can't do it, how excellent can you be?"
"Well said!"
Machida Sonoko couldn't help but clap her hands softly.
indeed.
What often limits a writer's potential is not their writing style or inspiration, but their mindset!
She's been in this line of work for several years.
I have met many brilliant and promising authors.
I hesitated to start writing because I lacked confidence.
He became withdrawn because of the comments made by a few troll readers.
among these people.
Some of them have achieved good results after venturing out.
Some people have completely disappeared from this industry.
Therefore, having a good mindset is extremely important.
Even authors who weren't good at it from the start.
As long as you have a good mindset and can persevere in exercising.
Gradually, you can achieve good results.
Characters like Kasumigaoka Utaha really need the right mindset.
Machida Sonoko believes that Utaha has good talent.
However, her mindset is not very stable.
Well, he's a newcomer after all.
They still need to go through more trials and tribulations.
Then, Machida Sonoko looked at Kiriharu.
"Most light novels in China are now 20 words per volume, and one volume is equivalent to one book. If you have 155 million words, you can probably publish about eight books."
"Ah."
Although Wu Qing had read some information before coming here.
But Machida Sonoko is clearly more professional.
Then Machida Sonoko spoke again.
"Your authors receive 7% to 10% of the total monthly sales of a single book."
For example, according to current market prices, a book can generally sell for 1000 to 1500 yuan. Let's take 1000 yuan as an example. If you sell 10000 copies a month, then the total sales revenue would be 1000 million yuan, and your income would be around 100 million yuan.
100 million yen.
It's roughly equivalent to 5 RMB.
In Japan, an annual income of 1000 million yen, or 50 RMB, is considered a sign of wealth.
That's the kind of annual income that can be achieved.
They are usually doctors or pilots.
In other words, even if the Dragon Clan could only sell 10000 books a month.
Wu Qing's annual income can also reach the level of a wealthy person.
But how could it be possible to sell only 10000 copies?
Wu Qing believes that this number will multiply several times from 693.
After all, dragons are quite to the liking of this place.
The pace is slow, and it has a touch of melancholy.
Most importantly, there are many tragedies in the Dragon Clan.
Tragedy is something Japanese people love most.
They even have an art form called the beauty of imperfection.
There are a few people in the country who don't like the Dragon Clan.
But it's really hard to say here.
Moreover, Wu Qing had already adapted to the local tastes.
The style and storyline of the Dragon Raja have been further improved.
In addition, he possesses over a hundred literary attributes.
There's no longer any doubt that the dragon race can make money.
The question should be how much they earn.
Is it a lot, or far more than expected?
Wu Qing had no objection to this revenue model.
He looked at Machida Sonoko.
He then voiced the question he most wanted to ask during his visit.
"How quickly can I expect to start earning income from this book?"
“Normally, authors need two to three months because they need to re-check the manuscript, and printing also takes time, but if it's your Dragon Raja, Mr. Kirisame.”
Machida Sonoko thought about it for a moment.
Then he looked firmly at Wu Qing.
"If you want to receive your income as soon as possible, I can find someone to help you get it next month."
