Depressed writers, the whole network begs you to stop writing

Chapter 96 "Four Lies" VS "Knight" Battle of the Century!

On the phone, Miss Kagurazaka sounded excited:

"Your cooperation with Mai-chan is the greatest operator I have seen this year!"

Qin Yuan: "..."

.......

LINE, a community for study groups.

[Zaimuza]: Mai-chan's "Four Lies" tweet is so touching. I don't want to change the ending now. As long as the old thief Kanbaru can bring us a good story, Hikigaya, let's go to the bookstore tomorrow to buy " Four Lies"!

[Hikigaya]: Indeed, if you think about it carefully, the old thief Kanbaru is not a brainless swordsman. There are many foreshadowings in the previous volume. It can only be a good story. It doesn't hurt to trust him again... If you are not satisfied, I will send him the blade again. .

...

Late at night, Akita Academy.

The heads of each department are sitting in a large conference room.

Keisuke Sunaga, who was sitting on the main seat, also had sweaty palms at this moment!

As a publisher, he is very aware of how much effort it takes to put a light novel on the market for the people behind the scenes.

Suddenly, a call from the marketing department came to the conference room.

Marketing manager Teru Takahashi said solemnly: "Director, stores in various regions have requested "Four Lies" to increase their inventory..."

Coming!

Director Suyong sat up straight and said seriously: "Notify me, here it is! At the same time, the printing department will continue to print 50,000 more copies!"

Takahashi was stunned for a moment and said in shock: "Director, there are already 50,000 copies in total, do you still need to print more?"

As long as one copy is printed, the author needs to be paid royalties for one copy, regardless of whether it is sold or not. Therefore, many publishing houses will wait for the sales volume to be released before deciding whether to increase editions.

Adding new editions before sales are even out can be said to be a stud behavior full of great risks...

Director Suyong adjusted his breathing continuously and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Kanbaru gave us a surprise, we naturally have to give him a gift in return!"

Just let me see.

With Mai-chan’s promotion, how many copies can you sell on the first day!

...

In a villa somewhere.

Narita Ichiro sat on the sofa, his face darkened.

He had no idea that Kanbaru Yushin would be able to invite Sakurajima Mai to promote...

Narita narrowed his eyes slightly, "Writing a book still depends on strength... If it is not well written, even if it is widely publicized, the result will be counterproductive."

Suddenly, his mobile phone on the table rang, and the caller ID was 'Editor-in-Chief Suzuki'.

Narita answered the phone and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Narita."

"Teacher Narita, I have already voted for the script you adapted to Jipuli." Editor Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief.

Narita smiled slightly and said, "Haha, I'm sorry to trouble you, Editor-in-Chief Suzuki."

Editor-in-chief Suzuki said with a smile: "Haha, it's nothing to me, but if the old man is willing, we can use his name to promote it. Even with Sakurajima Mai, I'm afraid the sales of "Four Lies" can't even compare to ours. ”

Narita said solemnly: "Even if there is no old man, I will definitely suppress him tomorrow."

Editor-in-chief Suzuki was startled and nodded: "I believe in Mr. Narita's ability. In this case, Senjumura Sei has not published a book for a year. If "Four Lies" hits the market again, Kagurazaka may not be able to compete with me for the chief editorship. location.”

Even if Ichiro Narita is not at the top of the pyramid, he is still at the forefront.

Writing a book depends not only on strength, but also on influence...

He has accumulated fans for nearly ten years, and Kanbaru is just a newcomer, so what can he do to compete with him?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Narita's lips.

What's more, he still has Jipri as a trump card...

His uncle and the old man were close friends.

It would be easy for him to adapt a movie for himself...

Ichiro Narita nodded and said: "He can win two competition awards, which is considered a bit of strength. Don't worry, I will not underestimate him. I will go all out and not give him the slightest chance..."

Editor-in-chief Suzuki smiled and said: "Okay, I'll wait for your news tomorrow!"

...

The next day, early in the morning.

A middle-aged man came to the headquarters of Yinyu Publishing House. He put his hands behind his back and felt the wind on his feet.

This person is none other than Narita Ichiro!

Seeing that it was their big client, the people from Otowa Publishing House also greeted them respectfully, "Teacher Narita!"

He waved slightly, boarded the elevator, and went straight to Otoyu's conference room.

"Morning, Mr. Narita!" Kita Noriko personally led him to his seat.

He smiled slightly and said: "Manager Kita, how are you doing in the pre-sales work?"

Kita Noriko: "Of course, the 50,000 copies of our first edition have been distributed to various channels."

A sneer appeared at the corner of Narita Ichiro's mouth, "That's good, I want to see how many copies of "Four Lies" can be sold!"

Seeing that the time was about to arrive for the sale, everyone felt a little nervous and excited.

A great battle is coming!

...

The building of Akita Academy.

As a leader who does not need to clock in, Director Suyong came to the office early.

He drank himself a large cup of black coffee.

I sat down nervously in the conference room.

Just then, his cell phone dinged, and he picked it up to take a look.

Someone @him in the community, the group name is "Tokyo Metropolitan Publishing House Family". If it was a temporary group before, this is an official group!

It includes the heads of more than a dozen publishing houses, large and small.

[Faith in Joyful Nothingness]: @Director Sunaga, I heard that your Akita Academy is having its new book debut today?

[Director Sunaga]: Why, are you guys going to buy 10,000 or 20,000 copies to show your support?

[Shirakawa Yian]: This... I will definitely do it next time, but for the first show of the Grand Prize, we are of course waiting for you to send red envelopes!

[Feng Yu who likes melons]: Forget about the red envelopes, I heard that the book signed by Sunaga not only violates the market, but also coincides with Narita's "The Knight". Let's wait for Sunaga in the izakaya!

[Fifteen and Sixteen]: Wow, no way, so miserable, I can already imagine Sunaga's expression now.

[Falling Leaves Dyeing Star Quality]: Poor Sunaga, so pitiful...

[Director Sunaga]: It's none of your business, if you argue again, I will beat your dog heads to pieces!

Director Sunaga turned off his phone and didn't want to see their messages anymore.

......

Before the sale time, many book friends rushed to nearby bookstores.

More remote areas also opened Amazon.

Some for "Knight", some for a glimpse of "Four Lies"...

......

It was almost time.

The senior executives of Akita Academy came to the meeting room yesterday.

Unlike yesterday, the huge projection screen in front of them was turned on, which could observe the real-time data of various channels.

This time, their palms were really sweating!

He had worked in the publishing house for so long, but he had never experienced such a gamble!

He even had a little regret in his heart.

He was really led astray by the president...

The screen began to light up, and curves of various colors appeared in front of everyone!

The people in the meeting room sat up straight immediately.
