Next morning.
第二天一早。Kitahara Kaedeaskedfor quite a whileto be falseto the school, rodecable carprobably around 9 : 00 to rush to the headquarters in not deadSichuan Group.北原枫向学校请了半天假,乘着电车大概九点多赶到了不死川集团的总部。„TeacherKitahara, welcome, hereinvited.”
“北原老师,欢迎欢迎,这边请。”EditsIwamotoKangJieto arrive atdownstairspersonally, welcomes not deadSichuanHeadquartersKitahara Kaede that justarrived.
编辑岩本康介亲自到楼下,把刚到的北原枫迎进了不死川总部。Articlespringlibraryin not deadSichuan Groupoffice buildingsevenbuildings.
文春文库在不死川集团办公大楼七楼。
The entirefloorhashalf is the articlespring the workplace of library, the other halfare the workplace of Fantasticlightnovellibrary.
整个楼层有一半是文春文库的办公地,另外一半是Fantastic轻小说文库的办公地。Kitahara Kaedewas welcomed one -roomedoffice.北原枫被迎进了一个单间办公室。IwamotoKangJiepours watertoKitahara Kaede, then tookseveraldocumentsto sitin the Kitahara Kaedeopposite.
岩本康介给北原枫倒了杯水,然后便拿着几份文件坐在了北原枫的对面。
This is the second time that Kitahara Kaedesawownchief-editor.
这是北原枫第二次见到自己的责任编辑。Regardingthischief-editorIwamotoKangJie, Kitahara Kaedefeelssuperficially, isverycredible, the 30-year-oldage, wears the gold-rimmed eyeglassesand a professionalattire, has the aura of writervery much.
对于这个责任编辑岩本康介,北原枫觉得从表面上来看,还是十分靠谱的,30多岁的年龄,戴着金丝眼镜、一身职业装,很有文人的气息。„TeacherKitahara.”
“北原老师。”IwamotoKangJiefirstpushed a contracttoKitahara Kaede: „Thisis the contractaboutroyalty, generally speaking the rookieauthorjustmade a debut, most can only take about 8%-10%royalty, becauseyournovel«SixthPerson of»is the award, thereforeaccording to the old timesconvention, ussigned12%royaltycontractswithyou, ifyouhad the opinionweto discuss.”
岩本康介首先将一份合同推给了北原枫:“这是关于版税方面的合同,一般来说新人作者刚出道,最多只能拿8%-10%左右的版税,但是因为您的小说《第六人》是获奖作品,所以按照往年的惯例,我们这边跟您签12%的版税合同,您要是有意见的话我们可以商量。”„Defers tothisto come.”
“就按照这个来吧。”Kitahara Kaedehas not offered an opinion, before hecomes, has understood, generally speaking the literaturepublishesthis, royalty that the authorcanattainin8%-14%, many of rookieare8%, compared withfavoringworkto10%, his award itemwinnerprobablyin10%-12%, as forhighest14%, only thensomenoted authorscanattain.北原枫没有提意见,他来之前就了解过,一般来说文学出版这一块,作者能拿到的版税在8%-14%之间,新人的多为8%,比较看好的作品会给10%,他这种奖项得主大概在10%-12%之间,至于最高的14%则只有一些知名作家才能拿到。Comparesthat side the lightnovel, 12%royaltyhave calculated that was very high.
相比轻小说那边,12%的版税已经算很高了。Because the lightnovelauthormustapportion the illustrationmaster2%royalty, generallyonly has8%royalty.
轻小说作者因为要分给插画师2%的版税,普遍都只有8%的版税。Decided the royaltyproportion, Kitahara Kaedeinquired: „Iwamotomulberry, how manybookbrushesprobably?”
敲定了版税比例,北原枫询问道:“岩本桑,请问一刷大概多少册呢?”„Brushesprobably about 250,000.”
“一刷大概在25万左右。”„Unexpectedlyhas250,000?”
“居然有25万?”„Thiseditor-in-chiefSangBijiaofavorsyournovel, thereforeraised50,000additionally.”
“这次总编桑比较看好您的小说,所以额外提了五万。”„Really wastoothanks.”Kitahara Kaedesincereexpression of gratitude.
“真是太感谢了。”北原枫真诚道谢。
The words of literarypublication, are always sealmanybook, mustto the author the royalty of manybook, even if placesin the warehouseto be covered with dust, has not sold, similarlymustgive the author the correspondingroyalty.
文学出版的话,向来是印多少册,就要给作者多少册的版税,哪怕是放在仓库里吃灰,没有卖出去,同样要给作者相应的版税。Thereforegenerally speaking, brusheswill not printmany.
所以一般来说,一刷不会印很多。
The words of previous generation.
前世的话。Actuallyeven ifattains the novel of prize, still the experiencenew booksentences, pamphletand so ontries the watertediously, from the beginningonlyprints10,000-20,000volume, the authorcannot receivehow muchmoney. Howeverthisworld market is quite as if big, the awardomits the new booksentenced, pamphletand so on trialwatersale, changes tolibrarypublicationdirectly, cancome upon the seal250,000volume.
其实就算拿到奖的小说,也得经历新书判、单行本之类的繁琐试水,一开始只印个10,000-20,000册,作者根本拿不到多少钱。但是这个世界市场似乎比较大,获奖作品省去了新书判、单行本之类的试水销售,直接改为文库本出版,才能上来就印二十五万册。250,000volume of words.
二十五万册的话。Traditionalliterary, generallyeachselling pricein1000yuanabove, according to1000yuancalculates,12%royaltyhiscanattain120yuan, 10,000are1.2 millionyuan, is multiplied byoneagain25 is 30 millionyuan.
传统文学方面,一般每本的销售价格在1000円以上,按照1000円来算,12%的版税他一本就能拿到120円,一万就是一百二十万円,再乘以一个二十五便是3000万円。In other words .
换言之。Justsignedsuchseveral, severalweekshehas been ableto attain30 millionyuan the royalty. Knowsthis point, Kitahara Kaedethereforerelaxes.
刚刚签了这么几笔,过个几周他就能拿到3000万円的版税。得知这一点,北原枫因此松了口气。Becausein his opinion the lovecould not lack the bread, bought the peripheralandlightnovel, to give the gift, evenopenedCulinary Research Societyto needmoney, as a qualifiedlickingdog, if the basiceconomyis unable to safeguardcontinually, even iflickedheroine, finallystillbid good-byebecause of the economic problem, lowlycouplePepsisorrowcan/butdid not say.
因为在他看来爱情是缺少不了面包的,买周边、轻小说、送礼物,甚至开料理研究会都需要钱,作为一只合格的舔狗,如果连基本的经济都无法保障,就算舔到了女主,最后也得因为经济问题而分手,贫贱夫妻百事哀可不是说说的。
From the prize.
从获奖开始。These2-3monthshehopes the star, hopes that moonis hoping the novelcanbe publisheda bit faster.
这2-3个月他盼星星,盼月亮就盼着小说能快点出版。If the publishing housedoes not telephone, heevenpreparedto callto ask.
如果出版社这边再不打电话过来,他甚至都准备打电话过去问了。Is goodsettles downbecause ofall, hewill also soon receiveownthemoney.
好在一切尘埃落定,他也即将拿到属于自己的这一份钱。Moneyis the guts of man.
钱是男人的胆。In addition the previoustimebonus, the bodyhas40 millionyuan, Kitahara Kaedefeels the wainscotto be able.
加上上次的奖金,身上怀揣着4000万円,北原枫觉得腰板都能挺的直一点。„Reallywrites the traditionalliteratureto make money.”
“果然还是写传统文学赚钱。”KitaharaundereditingIwamotoKangJieaccompaniment, goes out of the office, whilewhisperedat heart.北原在编辑岩本康介的陪同下,一边走出办公室,心里一边这么嘀咕道。Writes the lightnovelas a result to probablywithillustrationmasterdivide/allocate, be only8%royaltydo not raise, a selling price of lightnovelis only600yuangenerallyabout, heremissedaboutonetime.
写轻小说由于要跟插画师分,只有8%的版税就不提了,一本轻小说的售价一般只有600円左右,这里就差了将近一倍。Did not sayexaggeratingly.
毫不夸张的说。
His brushes the royalty that 250,000volume of institutesattain, wantsmanymanycompared with the royalty that the KasumigaokaUtaha500,000volume of sales volumestake.
他这一刷25万册所拿到的版税,比霞之丘诗羽50万册销量所拿的版税要多的多。„Then the Iwamotomulberry, Ifirstsaid goodbye.”
“那么岩本桑,我就先告辞了。”Kitahara Kaedestandsin the officeentrance, hintedto editIwamotoKangJienot to needto deliveragain.北原枫站在办公室门口,示意编辑岩本康介不用再送了。
The opposite party are also the lots of work, having the apologylook saying: „ThenTeacherKitahara, the officialon the shelfsalemeets again.”
对方也是事务繁忙,带着歉意的眼神说道:“那么北原老师,正式上架销售再会。”
......
……Gazes afterKitahara Kaedeto depart.
目送北原枫离去。IwamotoKangJiehas come backjustto prepareto return to the office, the front surfacesawtwopeople.
岩本康介回过头刚准备回办公室,迎面就看到了两个人。OneiseditionMachidapark of oppositeFantasticlightnovellibrary, anotheristo wearyoung girl of high schooluniform/subdue, heremembersindistinctlyis one of Machidaparkchildhandbest-sellingauthors, the pen namecalled‚Kasumi Utako’probably.
一个是对面Fantastic轻小说文库的编辑町田苑子,另外一个是身穿高中制服的少女,他隐约记得是町田苑子手里的畅销作者之一,笔名好像叫‘霞诗子’。„Iwamotomulberry, good morning.”
“岩本桑,早上好啊。”Machidaparkgreetedwith a smile: „Thathigh-school student who justwent out......”
町田苑子笑着打招呼道:“刚刚出门的那个高中生……”„Hewithotherperson of differences, the Machidamulberryyoudid not needto think.”
“他跟其他人不一样,町田桑你不用多想了。”IwamotoKangJieinterrupted the Machidaparkwords, becausethismatterwas not1-2 times, that side the lightnovellibraryedition, will digsomecontributiontraditionalliteraturefailuretothemfrequently, had the author of styleslightly.
岩本康介打断了町田苑子的话,因为这种事情不是1-2了,轻小说文库那边的编辑,经常会到他们这边来挖一些投稿传统文学失败,又稍有文笔的作者。Generally speaking, hewill not sayanything.
一般而言,他也不会说什么。After all the person must always the food, traditionalliterarythresholdextremelybe exactly high, somepeoplemake a debutto the rookieprize that tries hard for more than tenyearsnotnecessarilyto take, on the contrarymakes a debutrelativelyeasydozenstimesby the lightwriter of fiction, hewill also recommendoccasionallyis unable to make a debut, has the author of stylefirstto write the lightnovelto make a debutslightlyto give a try.
毕竟人总是要恰饭的,传统文学这一块门槛极高,一些人努力十多年都不一定拿的到新人奖出道,相反以轻小说家出道相对容易几十倍,他偶尔也会推荐迟迟无法出道,又稍有文笔的作者先去写轻小说出道试试看。HoweverKitahara Kaedeis different.
但是北原枫不一样。HeisEdogawa Ramporewards the winner, futurelight, howhepossiblymakeshimbe flickeredto write the lightnovelbyMachidapark, thereforecomes upto breakMachidaparkdirectly the words, makinghernot have the idea of Kitahara Kaede.
他是江户川乱步奖获得者,前途一片光明,他怎么可能让他被町田苑子忽悠去写轻小说,所以上来就直接打断町田苑子的话,让她别打北原枫的主意。In the Machidaparkchildeyeflashes throughpuzzled.
町田苑子眼中闪过困惑。Generally speakinglittlehasextremelycanyoungby the author who the traditionalliteraturemakes a debut, shealsowantsto inquire the details of opposite party, has the words of styleslightly, contact, digsto makehimwrite the lightnovel.
一般来说极少有这么年轻能以传统文学出道的作者,她本来还想打探打探对方的底细,稍有文笔的话,就接触一下,挖过来让他去写轻小说。Finallydid not wait forherwords saying that IwamotoKangJiesoresisted.
结果都不等她话说完,岩本康介就如此抗拒。Thiscausedhercuriosity, cannot bearinquire: „The Iwamotomulberry, candisclose, justthat was?”
这引起了她的好奇心,忍不住询问道:“岩本桑,可以透露一下,刚刚那位是?”„This year'sEdogawa Ramporewards the winner, TeacherKitahara Kaede.”
“今年的江户川乱步奖得主,北原枫老师。”„Is that becausetraffics jams, failed to keep an appointment the rare and beautiful flowers of awards ceremony......, TeacherKitahara?”
“就是那个因为堵车,失约了颁奖典礼的奇葩……咳咳,北原老师?”„...... ”
“……是的。”IwamotoKangJie is also speechless, the initialawards ceremonymade the hugejoke, the honored guest, editorandreporterallcame, becauseonlyKitahara Kaedethisleadtraffics jamshas not come, finallyalsowantshimto receive an award.
岩本康介也是一阵无语,当初的颁奖典礼可是闹出了天大的笑话,嘉宾、编辑、记者全部都来了,唯独北原枫这个主角因为堵车没来,最后还要他代为领奖。IfKitahara Kaedeis not the awardwinner, hewill not signwithhim.
如果北原枫不是大奖得主,他绝不会跟他签约。„SinceisTeacherKitahara, thateven.”
“既然是北原老师,那就算了。”Machidaparkchildregrettableshaking the head, thinkscandigto a younggoodseedling, finally the opposite partyunexpectedlyis the awardwinner. The traditionalliterarycirclealwayslooks down upon the lightnovelcircle, plan that shehas not gone to bring contempt upon oneself.
町田苑子遗憾的摇摇头,本来还以为又能挖到一颗年轻的好苗子,结果对方居然是大奖得主。传统文学圈向来看不起轻小说圈,她可没有去自取其辱的打算。Is listening totwo peopledialogue.
听着两人的对话。Very early in the morningasks for leaveto discuss that on SaturdayKasumigaokaUtaha of fansconferencematters concerned, looks the direction that Kitahara Kaededepartsmuttered: „Ialsothoughtto misread, justwent outunexpectedly was really Kitahara-kun.”
一大早请假过来谈周六粉丝见面会事宜的霞之丘诗羽,看着北原枫离去的方向喃喃自语道:“我还以为看错了,刚刚出去的居然真的是北原君。”
