Chapter 11 Conditions and Signing

He made an appointment with Tang Yin to meet on time at 3:30 in the afternoon. Xia Yan is a person who doesn't like to be late or wait for others. He made a good time and entered the office area of ​​​​Hongfeng Literature at 3:28. He met Tang Yin last time.

Walk to the office where Yin meets.

The door was not locked, the doorknob was twisted, and Xia Yan entered

I saw the large and small shopping bags of newly purchased clothes, shoes, figurines, and toys displayed in the office.

Clothing styles, maid, doctor, nurse, mecha shown from tags and sections on shopping bags.

If Xia Yan is not mistaken, these costumes are Y-style costumes that can often be seen at major comic exhibitions.

After all, in his soul memory, Xia Yan had once assumed the role of a girl named Yuan Qing, who wore similar clothes and enjoyed the cheers of the crowd at the comic show with tens of thousands of people. From a spiritual point of view, these similar clothes not only made him

I've seen it and worn it.

As for the elements involved in these costumes, most of them are the costumes of the popular animations and game characters recently aired in Dragon Kingdom.

Did I make the right move?

Xia Yan was stunned. It had only been two days since he came here. Why was the style of the room different?

He looked at Tang Yin, who was sitting at the desk in the office, her beautiful face puffed up, her hands on her chin, and her eyes unhappy.

Of course, Xia Yan didn't know that Tang Yin was angry because her father was going to stop her credit card tomorrow. Even if she went to the downtown shopping mall at noon to swipe her credit card and buy her favorite two-dimensional peripherals, she couldn't calm down her resentment.

But she is very professional, and she will be angry when she is angry, but her work will not be left behind. She still informed Xia Yan of the success of the Youth Journey serialization as soon as possible, and notified Xia Yan to come and sign the contract as soon as possible.

"You came."

"Um, am I here at the right time?" Xia Yan asked weakly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xia Yan, the author of the novel. Your debut novel won the first battle, and you successfully obtained the qualification to be serialized in the journal "Instant Youth"."

Xia Yan took the contract and read it carefully.

First of all, it’s Xia Yan’s royalties.

The income from a work is aggregated from multiple channels, a little from the serialization royalties, a little from the light novel single book sales royalties, and a little from peripheral distribution. In the end, the total is very considerable.

One month is roughly calculated as four weeks, and two issues are serialized every week. The theoretical number of novel chapters serialized in one month will be eight chapters or more.

This clause is not excessive, and it is also a regular market situation in the Dragon Kingdom. If you are a big-name novel writer, you can negotiate terms with the book publisher, and it is not impossible to even get the full copyright and all the profits, but it is not impossible for a newbie.

Just don't think too much.

A bookstore in a provincial capital city and its quasi-top-level periodicals can generate revenue from so many channels. This is also due to the development of the world's two-dimensional culture and the people's strong awareness of authenticity and recognition of the value of cultural products.

.

A few seconds later, the intellectual, beautiful, confident, and reliable image of Tang Yin reappeared.

That is to say, if the novel becomes more popular after being serialized and other adaptations are possible, then Red Maple Literature will be involved in all operations in this process, such as game adaptation, animation adaptation, comic adaptation, peripheral distribution, single book release, etc., and have decision-making authority.

power, and Hongfeng Literature will take 20% of the income generated from these business activities.

"It's exactly half past three, you're on time."

In fact, the remuneration price is already very generous. The average income of the residents of Dragon Kingdom is four to five thousand a month. Calculated at this price, the income of one month of serialization is equivalent to the annual salary of ordinary people.

Multiply this figure by 8, and you can get that once Journey of Youth begins to be serialized, its monthly remuneration will be at least 54,240 Long Guo coins.

As she spoke, Tang Yin handed a contract to Xia Yan, her tone calm but not so serious.

Then without hesitation, he signed the contract directly.

"But the probability is very low. It only happens once in ten years. If our book club wants to obtain these adaptations, we still have to serialize them in the "Red Maple" journal, and then they will eventually develop into works with that kind of influence."

A few seconds after Xia Yan entered the door, Tang Yin came to her senses and immediately began to adjust her emotions and quickly manage her expression.

The influence of a novel is determined by the popularity of the serialization platform and the quality of the work.

"However, it is quite common for novels to be released in single volumes. As long as the popularity is not too low and the response from readers is good, book publishers will arrange for the release of single volumes of the works. In fact, many books can eventually obtain tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 copies.

Sales. Judging from the 7% royalty share in the contract, this amount will most likely be more than twice the royalties during the serialization period of the novel."

But what Red Maple Literature wants is the commercial rights to the work Journey of Youth.

If your chapter has a lot of words, the remuneration will also increase.

The copyright and authorship of the novel must all belong to Xia Yan.

Tang Yin glanced at him, and the social momentum rose.

Depending on the quality of the novel submission, the novel author's status in the industry, popularity, number of fans, and the book publisher's assessment of the novel's potential, everyone's remuneration will be different.

Red Maple Books is a commercial organization, not a charity.

If, like in a parallel world, everyone searches for pirated resources on online disks when watching a movie, then the income of these cultural creators will definitely drop by more than half.

"Well, I would like to ask, are there any examples of novels that were serialized in "Sudden Youth" that were adapted into comics, animations, games, etc.?" Xia Yan asked curiously.

After all, the Dragon Kingdom is one of the most powerful countries on the planet. The relevant laws and regulations are very complete. The capital side oppresses creators at will and plunders other people's copyrights and copyrights without the need for complaints from the people at the bottom. Dragon Kingdom officials decades ago

In a severe crackdown, of course, creators will definitely be weak compared to capital, but they will never be left to anyone's thumb.

Its royalties are naturally rising.

This remuneration will be increased based on the popularity of the novel after it is serialized. It is not set in stone. If the reader response to your novel is very strong after it is serialized, the remuneration standard will definitely increase accordingly.

"I understand." Xia Yan thought for a moment and nodded.

But for novel serialization, royalties are only part of the income, and copyright is the key.

"This is the cooperation contract of our book club. Please read it first. If you don't have any objections, our cooperative relationship will officially begin after signing the contract."

But this money is not free. To put it bluntly, how can ordinary light novel writers have the ability to secondary develop their works and find partners? These are actually cooperative book publishing platforms that help matchmaking, operations, and publicity and promotion.

But the minimum will not be lower than the price given in the contract.

"The Moment of Youth" is a novel serial publication published twice a week, and its circulation can reach more than 200,000 to 300,000 sales per issue.

"Yes." Tang Yin paused after hearing this.

As for Red Maple Literature, the price offered to Xia Yan for each chapter of the novel is 6,780 Yuan Longguo currency. Of course, this is a standard base fee.

Although Xia Yan is a newcomer, Hong Maple Literature's contract is at a normal level.

In fact, these contracts are almost the same in any book company, and there is no room for bargaining. If you want to get this job, you have to respect the market conditions.

When Tang Yin saw this, a smile appeared on her lips.

Reaching out to Xia Yan

"Congratulations, from now on, you will officially become a signed writer of our Red Maple Literature."
Chapter completed!
