Chapter 13 Monographs and Libraries

When Liuli saw that Ye Su really didn't know the difference, she explained.

"Generally, awesome light novels will be released first, with prices ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 yen per book. For some reason, 1,680 yen is the mainstream price. Most of the works of many famous teachers in the industry are priced at this price."

"When a single book is sold for a certain period of time, a cheap library book will be released to squeeze out the surplus value. The price of library book is basically around 600 yen, and the cheap one is even only 500 yen."

"The single-line book and the Wenku version are at least three times the price difference, so some novels on the Wenku version's credibility list cannot be believed. The same sales volume may be the same, but they sell the single-line book and then sell the Wenku version. However, some light novel writers only have Wenku versions. The gap is naturally very large."

After listening to Wu Geng Liuli's explanation, Ye Su remembered something.

That is, in Japan's previous life, the status and market of light novels are far lower than traditional novels.

And this world is a little better.

In previous life, light novels basically did not receive any treatment for single-books. Only Nishio Reform and other powerful people such as Kawahiro.

Therefore, some people have always opposed the consideration of Nishio Reform as a light novelist, because they enjoy the treatment of a bestseller writer. The new book is first released in a single book and then the library...

In his previous life, Ye Su once heard someone discussing how to talk about the light novels with the credibility list of the Wenkuan Book...

But in fact, the sales volume and library list of the single line of the credibility list this week are separately counted. Those light novels are only facing cheap mainstream best-selling novels that have been sold once at a high price of 1,500+ yen.

However, even so, after the single book was sold out, the situation was not optimistic. A traditional writer, Keigo Higashino, could save 97,000 yuan in three days of its release, occupying the top of the week's credibility list, and kicking the Gushutang punched the friend. Although the Sword Art Online 10 will be released in the next week and will squeeze out Keigo Higashino with a single-week sales of 100,000 yuan, Mr. Higashino still ranks first and continues to punch other light novels on the list.

You know, this is an old work sold once at a price that is almost equivalent to three light novels. The cheap version is priced at 760 yen, which is more than 100 yen higher than the average price of light novels that are about 600 yen.

In the week before the new episode was broadcast, you can see that there were only nine light novels in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 33rd place in the 1Q84 of Haruki Murakami occupied six places - this book was split into six books and sold, and it was useless to make money. In addition, when the book was newly released in 2009, there were three books in total, each priced at 1,890 yen. In the first week, it sold 700,000 copies, with an average of 230,000 copies per book. Then the price of one book is equivalent to three books... And now its library books can continue to occupy one-fifth of the top 30 in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place in the 30th place

However, in this world, some high-quality light novels, even the works of a newcomer, can be sold at a single book price of 1,500+ yen. After promotion, the sales volume will not be very low.

Although the market for light novels is not so prosperous recently, it is still a world of difference compared to Ye Su's previous life.

At this time, the meaning of Shanmu Aka and Ye Su was to discuss the meaning of publishing the library version first or publishing the single version first.

In his opinion, Ye Su's novels are qualified to publish a single book first.

For newcomers, library books are often the best choice, but library books are often a manifestation of qualifications and status of the work.

"Even if you decide to publish it now, after some columns are prepared, it will take one month or even one and a half months to be released at the latest." Sugiki Aka said with a smile: "So you don't have to decide this issue so quickly. My personal suggestion is to first observe the popularity of publicity. In addition, the 8th "Sneaker" Awards are being held. We will put one-tenth of the content of this novel on the Internet, conduct publicity and voting - and then package and create momentum. Let's see the final result."

"I understand." Ye Su nodded. Although he tends to make a single book, it is better to make more money.

"In addition, I'll prepare the contract for this book. The royalties are 11% in accordance with the best newcomer standards, right? " Sugiki Aka asked.

"No problem." Ye Su nodded. The royalties for newcomers in the past were usually 8%, but now they are three points higher. If there are any problems, they are naturally extremely happy.

After signing the contract, Ye Su and Wu Geng Liuli left Kakugawa Sneaker Library Press.

Wu Geng Liuli looked at the manuscript in her hand and looked at Ye Su's contract, and was speechless for a moment.

"This, thank you for today." Ye Su seemed to feel Wu Geng Liuli's eyes. This was really subtle embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"You said, do I have no talent for writing novels?" Wu Geng Liuli looked up at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and said.

Faced with this heavy problem, Ye Su hesitated for a moment and said, "Everyone has everybody's interest. If your interest is to write novels, it is to read. Are you writing novels for yourself or for readers."

"What does it mean?" Wu Geng Liuli said in a daze.

"People always have some writers. When writing things, they always want to infect others and enjoy it. Some people want to write books they want to write. They write books for themselves, and simply write books because of their interests." Ye Su said with a faint smile.

"So what?" Wu Geng Liuli asked.

"So, do you think it is for readers to succeed or for interests?" Ye Su asked.

Wu Geng Liuli heard this, thought for a while, and said, "Only for readers can you succeed, because readers are the market..."

After hearing this, Ye Su shook his head: "That's just wishful thinking. You have to understand that only by writing a book for yourself can you succeed. If you can't even recognize it, what if others?"

"So...?" Wu Geng Liuli was stunned when she heard this, and felt a little inexplicably.

"Do you understand?" Ye Su asked.

"I don't understand." Wu Geng Liuli shook her head.

Ye Su laughed silently, Wu Geng Liuli looked at him with a little annoyed and embarrassed: "What's so funny? If you don't understand, you don't understand. What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that since you are writing novels for your own sake, then don't worry about your talent, just write it all the way." Ye Su said seriously.

"so?"
