Chapter 105 105, Is Naoki-San Proficient in Chinese and English?

Naoki Yongshan followed Kuniji Morikawa to the reception room where the contract was signed before,

Then he immediately apologized: "Secret Marseille, I didn't expect Naoki-san to come so soon. It will take some time for the relevant materials and royalties, and I have already asked my colleagues to help with it. Please trouble Naoki-san to wait a little longer."

Naoki Yongshan waved his hand: "Stay tape, I don't have anything to worry about right now."

Opening the window, a gust of cool wind blows in, refreshing people.

"Naoki-san is running a movie promotion recently, right?"

Kuniji Morikawa sat opposite, and asked curiously,

"That "Ghost Story" was filmed by Naoki-san, right?"

"Huh? Have you watched Kunji-san too? The movie is my humble work."

"Haha, I didn't watch it. I can't stand horror movies when I'm old. My daughter went to see it by herself." Kuniji Morikawa spoke a little faster after mentioning his daughter, and his tone was very cheerful, "Yu Rin thinks it's very interesting." , about the shooting technique or something.”

"That's right~ Bangji-san is going to help me, thank you Yurin-san for your compliment, hahaha" Naoki Naoyama continued, "Is the relationship between Bangzhi-san and his daughter very good? Generally, daughters don't tell their father what they saw. It's about the movie."

If you can watch horror movies by yourself, at least you are already in junior high school. Girls at this age rarely talk to their fathers.

"It's not as close as it used to be. I used to rush up to hug the little girl who yelled 'Papa O'Gerry' when I went home. She has grown so big all of a sudden~"

It seems that this is also a daughter slave.

"Well, isn't there a saying? The so-called growth of children is to step away from their parents~"

Kuniji Morikawa sighed: "Naoki-san, you really have a unique and precise view of the world."

The meeting room suddenly fell into a depressing atmosphere~

Why did the originally good atmosphere suddenly become sad?

Naoki Yongshan looked at the editor who seemed to be stabbed in the heart by a word of his own, and felt a little helpless in his mind. Are all middle-aged people so sensitive in their hearts?

When I did not know what to do,

There was a knock on the door of the reception room, and after it was pushed open was Mitsuko Nishihara, the newcomer at the front desk,

Two cups of hot tea and a stack of pastries were served on a tray,

This news also made Morikawa Kuniji return to the country, God,

"Naoki-san, I'm sorry, please have some refreshments."

Then I saw Kuniji Morikawa turning his head and asked Mitsuko Nishihara to urge a certain process,

"Hi, Arigado."

I took a sip of the tea, the temperature was just right, and the good tea left a fragrance on my lips and teeth.

The refreshment is the characteristic three-color glutinous rice dumpling, which is soft and delicious.

It was almost 11 o'clock at this time, and I was indeed a little hungry.

"Naoki-san, let's continue talking about the award." Kuniji Morikawa finally got to the point again,

"The RB Children's New Artist Award is a very valuable award. Only new works of this year can be selected, and there are also requirements for the author's age."

"Naoki-san won the award this time. On the one hand, the quality of "Natsu no Garden" is really good. On the other hand, it is also because Naoki-san is the first published work, and he is still so young."

"Hahaha, I also want to thank Xiaoxiaoguan for its great help, and I also want to thank Bangzhi."

A joke, how could this kind of award be awarded without the contribution of the publishing house?

I don't even know where the entrance to participate is.

"Wherever it is, it is our editor's duty to help authors!"

Kuniji Morikawa went on to say,

"Naoki-san, the award ceremony will be around mid-December. I will notify you in advance. If possible, it's better to go to receive the award in person. It's also good to meet people from the Writers Association."

"Hey, that time will be free."

Naoki Yongshan assured that there is nothing that needs him to come forward now.

There was still more than a month before the year before, and he planned to spend it leisurely.

"In addition, after the popularity has increased, there are also some foreign publishers who want to translate the novel into foreign languages ​​and publish it." Kuniji Morikawa explained to Naoki Naoyama, "Although the distribution rights of RB are in the Xiaoshokan, foreign words can still be authorized separately. .”

"Naoki-san, there are generally two approaches in this situation. One is to directly discuss translation and publishing with foreign publishers. The advantage is that copyright income can be negotiated; the other is to authorize foreign copyrights to elementary schools. The library, the small library will negotiate with them, and the copyright income will be commissioned according to a certain percentage."

Next, Kuniji Morikawa talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods with Naoki Nagayama in detail:

If you talk about it yourself, the upper limit may be relatively free, and you may get a higher share, but the disadvantage is that the negotiation between individuals and foreign publishers is very troublesome, and the copyright share also depends entirely on foreign publishers. After all, foreign publishers are based on sales performance. However, as an individual, Yongshan Naoki has no way to go abroad to investigate the sales data of local books.

If it is entrusted to Xiaoxiaoguan, of course the negotiation, share settlement and so on will be handled by Xiaoxiaoguan. The disadvantage is that it has to take a commission, and there are certain practices in the industry when discussing the share, and it will not be too high.

Of course, Naoki Naoyama chose the second method. How to make money is not to make money, so don’t do things that are too troublesome.

"Bang Zhi-san, I don't need to explain too much. I will leave everything to Xiao Xiaoguan, but the translations of the Chinese and English versions need to be finalized by me before they can be released."

Kuniji Morikawa was very happy when he got a clear answer, and then he was very surprised: "Is Naoki-san proficient in Chinese and English?"

"Haha, a little understanding, a little understanding~"

Chinese, it was my mother tongue in my previous life,

And English can be said to be the working language of the previous life,

Whether writing code or reporting to foreign customers, you need to use English,

IELTS TOEFL level 10 is hard work.

Coupled with the Japanese in this life, I can barely be regarded as a genius who can speak multiple languages.

While talking, a young man knocked on the door and came in, said "I'm sorry", and then handed some materials to Kuniji Morikawa, bowed to Naoki Nagayama and backed out.

"Naoki-san, the royalties are here!" Kuniji Morikawa first handed a check to Naoki Naoyama, "Time is running short, so I haven't withdrawn the cash yet."

"Hi, Arigado."

As long as it's money, Naoki Naoyama doesn't mind what form it is,

The amount on the check was 30 million yen. Kuniji Morikawa explained: ""Natsu no Garden" was reprinted twice, once with 100,000 copies, and once with 200,000 copies."

By the way, I also handed over the printed relevant documents, "Naoki-san can check it."

"No need, it won't be a problem to go to the elementary school for this kind of thing."

"Haha, thank you Naoki-san for your trust, but these documents still have to be collected." Morikawa Kuniji put down the document, then took out another document and continued: "Naoki-san, this is a translation of foreign copyright In the authorization contract, according to the usual practice, the commission for the small library is 5% of the share.

Negotiations with foreign publishers have not yet started, but our Xiaoguan will definitely try our best to get the highest share. When the final share is finalized, it will be confirmed with Naoki-san. "

"Hey, please trouble Kuniji-san." Naoki Naoyama looked through the contract. There were no special clauses. It was also a standard contract, so he signed it without thinking too much about it.

After finishing the business, Kuniji Morikawa and Naoki Nagayama chatted for a while,

"Naoki-san, when the publishing contract was signed, it was customary to treat guests, but unfortunately because the time is wrong, if there is nothing to do today, let me treat you to lunch~"

oh? Can I have a meal?

"Hahaha, since Bangji-san said that, then I will be disrespectful~"
