The sales volume of "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" has nearly doubled.

This news made the editorial department extremely excited. Although the sales of "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" 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 previous 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 Chunqiu 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 has 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. , written by popular author 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, maybe, That’s the second Ikema Watanabe.

After knowing the predicted sales volume of "White Night Journey", Shimada felt a hint of regret in his heart. But overall, he believed that his judgment was correct, 300,000 copies? Well, for newcomers to the social faction In terms of this, 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 Itagaki Kazuhiko's achievement, 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 started serialization again. Ohno Bookstore has bought a lot of magazines from this issue. There are many previous issues of "Qian Kun Chun Qiu" on Ohno Changji's table, and then from the first chapter of "White Night Journey" Start looking.

The new clerk felt a little strange when he saw Ono Nagaharu reading novels and magazines so seriously. He seemed to only read pornographic magazines... Half an hour ago, he hurried back from outside and started looking for "

Past issues of Qiankun Chunqiu.

As agreed, Kei Fujiwara told Ono Nagaharu the name of his work and the serial magazine. He originally wanted to wait until "White Night Walk" was officially serialized before telling him, because as long as he does not publish a single book, he is not a real writer, and Kei Fujiwara is

The kind of character that cannot make any judgment until everything is ready.

But one time when I was shooting on location, I happened to meet Ohno Nagaharu playing small steel balls outside, and I mentioned the matter to him casually. Ohno Nagaharu was stunned for a moment after hearing it, and then returned to the bookstore and started looking for it without saying a word.

Picked up past issues of the journal.

After reading it, Ohno Nagaharu was stunned for a while, and then muttered: "It's just a serial, it's nothing special...the single book may not be sold."

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

Arima Guixiang read the latest issue of "Qiankun Chunqiu" and held her breath subconsciously. Her mind was always being pulled by the fate of the two protagonists of "White Night Journey".

And as I watched, this chapter ended again. Seeing the familiar "to be continued", Arima Keixiang felt a little bored.

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 on Fukuyama TV. The finale of "In the Name of Love" has been aired, but the peripherals and CDs of the TV series are still on sale. The popularity is high now, so as the main protagonist, she still has to cooperate

TV stations promote it.

At this time, Arima Keixiang took out the reader return form from the magazine, took out a ballpoint pen, filled it out, and handed it to the agent, "Ms. Takahashi, could you please help me mail this? Please."

Mima Takahashi took a look at it and found that after the "favorite work" on the return visit form, he wrote the words "White Night Travel" and smiled. Arima Keixiang seemed to be obsessed with this novel recently and continued to read it every time.

, 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, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, 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: "Are you?"

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

Was he originally a producer? He looked really good-looking... Could it be that he was transformed into an anchor? Takahashi Micheng said sincerely. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly returned the favor. Producers are not to be ignored.

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

"It's like this. We are currently preparing a program called "Anthropological Observation". We plan to invite Miss Arima to be a guest for one episode. 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 genre, we are a pure entertainment program." Mizuhara Yui said still smiling. In fact, she had already prepared to be rejected before coming, but she still planned to give it a try.

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

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 Mikiro shook her head and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Mizuhara, Arima-chan is an actress and may appear in Taiga drama in the near future. We need to maintain her professional image, so it is still inconvenient to participate in prank variety shows. "

Mima Takahashi's worries are actually not unreasonable. Many late-night variety shows are now known for having no bottom line, and many artists have been tortured to death by them. What kind of cake is slapped in the face, the floor collapses into the water, and then used The camera captures the ugly behavior.

For young artists, this may be an opportunity to increase exposure, but for an artist like Arima Katsura who has already achieved a certain degree of popularity, this will only detract from the image and arouse the resentment of academic circles 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, "Your chief planner is Fujiwara Keina?"

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

"Yeah." Arima Keixiang responded, then suddenly lowered his head to look at the magazine on the table, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
