Tokyo Literary Godfather

Sales of "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" have nearly doubled.

This news made the editorial department extremely excited. Although the sales of "Qiankun Chunqiu" have been steadily improving, sales have also been rising slowly at a snail's pace.

Each issue only has three to four thousand more copies than the last issue, but in this issue, the magazine's sales suddenly saw a huge increase.

Not only sales, letters from readers also flew into the editorial department like snowflakes, and almost all of the letters from readers of "Qiankun Chunqiu" pointed to the same work.

"White Night Walk".

"White Night Walk" has been updated to Chapter 8. In the past few issues, whether it is quick reports, small reports, or full statistics, "White Night Walk" has topped the list, and the gap between the number of votes and the second place is getting wider and wider. A well-deserved dark horse work.

Although there is no direct evidence that the sudden surge in sales of "Qiankun Chunqiu" magazine is due to the work "White Night Journey", all the editors in the editorial department believe that the increase in magazine sales must be related to this leading work.

Although the sales of "Qiankun Chunqiu" have been increasing, it has always lacked an opportunity to take off, and "White Night Journey" has acted as a catalyst.

The editorial department finally took this work seriously, and the sales volume of "White Night Journey" was estimated to reach 300,000 copies.

This is definitely a bestseller-level sales volume. The editors of Spring and Autumn Society are all professionals, and the predictions they give will generally not deviate too much from the results.

So now the publishing house has decided to prepare in advance for the release of the single book "White Night Walk", including hiring first-class designers to design book covers and posters, and increasing publicity and distribution costs.

Spring and Autumn Society decided to create five best-selling novels this year, and "White Night Journey" is one of them. Of course, it is not the most anticipated novel. The most promising book by the editorial department is "Aurora Murder 2", which is still being serialized. The author is the popular writer Ikema Watanabe.

Of course, "White Night Walk" cannot be compared with "Aurora Murder 2", but as a newcomer, Fujiwara Kei has a work that sold 300,000 copies just after he released it, which is enough to make people jaw-dropping. In a few years, there might be a second Ikema Watanabe.

After knowing the predicted sales of "White Night Journey", Shimada felt a hint of regret in his heart. But overall, he thinks his judgment is correct. Three hundred thousand copies? Well, for newcomers to the social faction, this is already the pinnacle.

Anyway, he is now the editor in charge of "Aurora Murders 2". Can this book still shake "Aurora"?

The predicted sales volume of "Aurora Murder 2" is 800,000 copies. As long as the final result meets the prediction, his position as the editorial team leader will be as stable as a rock...

Thinking of this, Shimada secretly breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked at Itagaki Kazuhiko.

The discovery of "White Night Journey" is indeed an achievement of Itagaki Kazuhiko, but considering that one film failed last year, his merits and demerits are at best balanced and cannot threaten his position.

Thinking of this, Shimada smiled confidently.

…

The new issue of "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" has begun to be serialized again. Ono Bookstore has entered a lot of this issue of magazines. Ono Changzhi's desk has many previous "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" issues, and then from the first chapter of "White Night Journey" Start looking.

The new clerk found it a little strange to see Nagaji Ono reading novel magazines so seriously. He usually only reads pornographic magazines... Half an hour ago, he hurried back from the outside and started looking for " Past issues of Qiankun Chunqiu.

As agreed, Fujiwara Kei told Ono Nagaharu the name of his work and the magazine in which it was published. He originally wanted to wait for "Bai Ye Xing" to be officially serialized before telling him, because as long as there is no single volume, he is not a real writer, and Kei Fujiwara is the kind of character that can't make assertions until everything is ready.

But one time when he was shooting on location, he happened to meet Nagaji Ono playing small steel balls outside, so he mentioned the matter to him casually. Nagaji Ono was stunned when he heard it, and then returned to the bookstore, and started looking for him without saying a word. Started the previous issues.

After reading it, Ono Changji was stunned for a while, and then muttered: "It's just a serialization, and it's nothing special...the single volume may not be sold."

After finishing speaking, he picked up another photo album and started reading it.

Arima Guixiang watched the latest issue of "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" and held her breath subconsciously. Her mood was always drawn by the fate of the two protagonists in "Bai Ye Xing".

And looking at it, this chapter ended again. Seeing the familiar "to be continued", Arima Keixiang felt a little depressed.

Damn it, I have to wait another half a month to read the next chapter...

Kei Fujiwara, that appetizing bastard, refused to show me the rest of the manuscript. How abominable!

"Arima-chan." The manager came over at this time, "Get ready, we will start recording later."

"Yes, I understand." Arima Keixiang replied.

She is currently recording a variety talk show at Fukuyama TV Station. The finale of "In the Name of Love" has been aired, but the peripherals and CDs of the TV series are still on sale. Now the popularity is high, so as the main actor, I still have to cooperate with the TV station to promote it.

At this time, Arima Guixiang took out the reader return form from the magazine, took out a ballpoint pen, filled it out, and handed it to the manager, "Miss Takahashi, can you please send this for me? Please."

Mima Takahashi glanced at it, and found that the words "Bai Ye Xing" were written after "Favorite Work" on the return visit form, and smiled. Arima Guixiang seems to be obsessed with this novel recently, and she will continue to read it regularly. , and was very keen to vote for this novel.

"Okay." Agent Takahashi took the return visit form.

"Excuse me, is Miss Arima here?" At this time, the door of the lounge was knocked, and a woman's voice came in.

Mima Takahashi opened the door and saw a very beautiful woman standing outside the door, smiling and bowing to her.

Who is this person? Is he an artist? Takahashi Micheng was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

"My name is Mizuhara Yui, I'm the producer of Fukuyamadai, excuse me."

Was he the producer? She is really good-looking... Could it be that she was transformed into an anchor? Takahashi Mima said sincerely, and immediately returned the favor after she realized what she was doing. The producer was not one to be neglected.

"Thank you for your hard work. What can I do for you?"

"It's like this. We are preparing a program recently called "Human Observation". We plan to invite Ms. Arima as a guest. Is it convenient?"

"It's like this. We have accepted your invitation for the talk show, and we are not considering participating in similar programs for the time being."

"It's not the same type, we are a pure entertainment show." Mizuhara Yui still said with a smile. In fact, she had already planned to be rejected before she came, but she still planned to give it a try.

Takahashi Micheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "When is the broadcast time of the show?"

Mizuhara Yui sighed inwardly, but still kept a smile on her face: "It's late at night on Sunday."

Mima Takahashi was silent for a moment and then asked: "What about the general content of the program?"

"It's a variety show similar to a prank show."

Takahashi Meicheng shook her head and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Mizuhara, Arima-chan is an actress, and she may appear in Dahe TV dramas in the near future. We need to maintain her professional image, so it is still inconvenient to participate in tricky variety shows. "

Mima Takahashi's worries are actually not unreasonable. Nowadays, many late-night variety shows are known for having no bottom line, and many artists have been messed up by them. What kind of cake is slapped on the face, the floor collapses into the water, and then the camera is used to capture the ugly scene.

For young artists, this may be an opportunity to increase exposure, but for an artist like Arima Guixiang who already has a certain reputation, this will only detract from the image and arouse the resentment of the academics in the broadcasting industry.

"I understand, I'm sorry to bother you." Mizuhara Yui didn't force anything. Seeing that the other party didn't agree, she smiled and left.

"A prank show?" Arima Katsura suddenly asked, "Is it a show like Giggles?"

"It's a similar program, and besides..."

Mizuhara Yui added: "The screenwriter of Giggling is our main planner."

"Oh?" Arima Keika raised her eyebrows, "Is your chief planner Mr. Fujiwara Keina?"

Mizuhara Yui was stunned for a moment: "Miss Arima knows Fujiwara-kun."

"Yeah." Arima Keixiang responded, suddenly looking down at the magazine on the table, she suddenly had an idea in her mind.

The first day of self-discipline
