Chapter 421: Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto

In the spacious and bright corridor, the sunlight came in along the window sill, and two figures walked out from the elevator entrance. Kagurazaka Iris raised his hand and pointed forward: "The editor's office is in front."

Mu Fan nodded.

"Don't tell the editor-in-chief that I told you about this."

Seeing this, Kagurazaka Iris blinked at Mu Fan, and whispered a little worried reminder.

"En. Let me tell you what to do inside."

Mu Fan said seriously.

In fact, he had thought about it just now, there was not much he could do in front of the editor-in-chief, he could only ask if "Blessings for a Beautiful World" could sign a contract with the great god.

It really depends on the outline and follow-up plot of the book. As long as the editor-in-chief feels satisfied with the book, he can receive a guaranteed fund of 50 million yen.

After all, web articles rely on books, not people.

The 50 million belongs to the minimum guarantee, which simply means that if you don’t make enough money, you can make up to 50 million.

In the future, if he earns more than 50 million yuan, this guarantee will be gone.

Therefore, even if he received 50 million in advance, he might have to return the 50 million to Dengeki Bunko after "Blessings to a Wonderful World" is finished.

But no matter what, the Great God Contract can solve the current problem of the company's insufficient funds, and can also change the share to 60-40. A 10% of the funds can have tens of millions of funds for a valuable book.

Moreover, there are more recommendations from the master contract, which Mu Fan thinks is worth fighting for.

 …

Arriving at the office door, Kagurazaka Iris knocked on the door.

A mature male voice suddenly came out from inside, and the deep voice made Mu Fan instantly judge that the person inside was a middle-aged man, and he guessed that it was a serious man.

But when you think about it, it seems that the chief editors in the novel world are all middle-aged uncles, and they all need more than ten years of reading history and work experience. This kind of experience is beyond the reach of young people.

But this doesn't mean that the main editor writing a light novel must be popular, it's just that they have to be very correct in their judgment on the misunderstanding of writing novels,

And it is enough to guide the author to have a higher development and create income for the website.

At this time, Kagurazaka Calamus pushed the door and entered, and Mu Fan immediately followed.

The entire editor-in-chief's office is very simple, with a desk and a bookshelf. On the bookshelf are some Dengeki Bunko's "Suzumiya Haruzuki" and "Fantasy Demon Sword" and other popular light novels in recent years. And some famous works at home and abroad.

It can be seen that the editor-in-chief is a person who loves reading and has studied light novels for decades.

Sitting on the chair in the center of the desk was a middle-aged man in his forties with a thin figure. He raised his head and saw Mu Fan brought by Kagurazaka Iris. He stood up and walked over. He stretched out his hand and asked Mu Fan. Said: "You are the teacher Mu Fan who Kagurazaka Iris said was coming today."

He was a little flattered that an uncle like the editor-in-chief called Mu Fan a teacher. While shaking hands with the other party, he said, "The editor-in-chief can just call me Mu Fan."

The editor-in-chief said with a serious expression: "Mr. Mu Fan, you are welcome. If I were to write a novel, I would definitely not be as good as you in terms of writing skills and control of the plot. There is no youth in the novel industry, only writing ability. I call you The teacher is not too much."

Seeing that the editor-in-chief was so persistent, Mu Fan didn't say any more.

In fact, what the editor-in-chief said is also reasonable. If the editor-in-chief writes a novel himself, it may not be popular. There is no doubt about this. He can only give some exchanges and guidance from the author's writing experience in the past.

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kishimoto. Teacher Mu Fan can just call me Editor Kishimoto." Kishimoto added with a straight face.

"Hello, Editor Kishimoto."

Mu Fan smiled politely, even though he said that, Mu Fan felt a little strange, because even though Mu Fan listened to Editor Kishimoto's polite greeting from the beginning to the end, he didn't see a smile on the editor Kishimoto's face.

Could it be that knowing the reason behind Editor Kishimoto's visit, did he deliberately put on a straight face to create psychological pressure on himself?

"Mu Fan, editor Kishimoto is a well-known ruthless editor in Dengeki Bunko. Although he treats people very politely, when it comes to work, he is terribly serious. It is said that no one in Dengeki Bunko has ever seen him smile, and it may be He can't laugh, you don't mind." When Kishimoto turned around, Kagurazaka Iris's soft reminder came.

It was only then that Mu Fan realized, no wonder this man didn't smile all the time, but whether to smile or not is his business, and he won't force it.

"Teacher Mu Fan, editor Kagurazaka, please sit down."

At this moment, the voice of editor Kishimoto came from in front of him, and he was holding two chairs and putting them in front of the desk, talking to Mu Fan and Kagurazaka Iris.

"Thanks!"

Mu Fan was a little tired after a busy day, so he sat on the chair with Kagurazaka Iris without any excuse.

After exchanging a few business-like greetings with the other party, Mu Fan took out the outline of "Blessings for a Wonderful World" and the manuscript written yesterday from his bag, and said straight to the point: "Editor Kishimoto, actually this time I am I came to discuss with you about the Great God's contract."

Kishimoto took the document with both hands, frowned and said, "Yesterday, the editor of Kagurazaka told me, but according to the regulations of the website, the master contract requires the sales of two books to be more than five million. The sales volume is already equivalent to 2 million, so the book's performance needs to be similar to "Accelerate the World" before it can be signed as a master contract, even if I am the editor-in-chief, I can't directly make a decision."

Hearing this, Mu Fan recalled what Kagurazaka Iris reminded him just now, and hurriedly said: "Actually, to tell the editor-in-chief, there have been some changes in my family recently, and I urgently need some money, so I want to try to get this book to be signed by the great master." The contract should be published as soon as possible, the editor-in-chief might as well take a look at it for himself, and then decide whether to sign the master contract or not?"

"Then... let me take a look first."

Now that Mu Fan's words have reached this point, editor Kishimoto can't say anything more, so he can only sit back to his original position with the document.

If other authors made such a request, Kishimoto would never agree to it.

But Mu Fan is different. Mu Fan is just a high school student. This year, he became famous with only one book "Accelerated World", and won the top ten light novel sales in Dengeki Bunko in recent years.

This book alone has made a huge contribution to Dengeki Bunko. It can be seen that such a young author is very talented, and Dengeki Bunko will do its best to keep it.

After all, if they can't keep them, Mu Fan's going to other publishing houses will be disadvantageous to them.

If Mu Fan left Dengeki Library because of this incident, it would be a bit of a loss.

Of course, even so, he only gave Mu Fan the opportunity to review the new book, and whether he can sign the contract with the Great God still needs his careful analysis to make a conclusion.

Kishimoto is very good at analyzing books, and he is also very confident. Over the past ten years, he has read tens of thousands of novels with more than one million words at home and abroad. Can guess one or two.

Because Kagurazaka Iris had nothing to do in the afternoon, and because this matter was also related to her, she stayed with Mu Fan and waited for Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto's response.

Editor Kishimoto was carefully reading Mu Fan's novel follow-up and outline manuscript.

The whole room was silent for more than an hour. During this hour, Kishimoto frowned and scratched his head for a while, which made Mu Fan a little puzzled about his inner thoughts.

After waiting for another half an hour, Mu Fan couldn't help but raised his head to look at the editor Kishimoto who was reviewing patiently. When he saw his stern face, he became nervous.

In other words, since I haven't spoken for so long, this editor Kishimoto is probably planning to reject him, and then think about what to say?

"puff...."

But at this moment, a hearty laughter sounded in the room.

Both Mu Fan and Kagurazaka Iris were startled, but when they looked up, they were surprised to find that Editor Kishimoto's hands and body holding the document were shaking.

At this time, the document in Kishimoto's hand fell on the desk. In the eyes of Mu Fan and Kagurazaka Iris, Kishimoto's originally tense face stretched out at this moment, revealing a hearty smile... read net
