"Oh? Can you give me the whole manuscript?" Ozawa Anxiang's eyes lit up, "Then I also read it in advance. It is indeed a bit hard to follow the serialization every month."

Itagaki Kazuhiko brought the manuscript and then tried to find a way to contact other writers.

The fifth and sixth issues of "Anthropological Observation" were also broadcast one after another, and the ratings finally stabilized after increasing day by day. The sixth issue was broadcast, and the ratings of "Anthropological Observation" remained at the average time-sharing rating. 5.3%, and the highest time-sharing rating is 11.7%, which is already very difficult for a nighttime variety show.

Moreover, Mizuhara Yui also received a promise from Commissioner Lin of the variety show department that as long as the performance of "Anthropology" can be maintained at this level, even if it drops a little, they will be allowed to film the second season as long as the difference is not too big. And the budget is doubled.

This is good news. The staff of the creative team are very happy. The ratings of the show are guaranteed, and their jobs are secure.

The eleventh chapter of "White Night Journey" has also been published in the new issue of the magazine, and the serialization of this novel is coming to an end.

In one month, the novel will have its first printing. At that time, the true market value of this book will be truly revealed.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, it still has to slide around on the bookshelf, otherwise it will be meaningless even if readers give it rave reviews.

During this period, Itagaki Kazuhiko approached several writers, hoping that they could write recommendations for "White Night Journey", and several of them agreed. Itagaki Kazuhiko originally wanted to find Watanabe Ikema, but he couldn't get around someone like Shimada. , forget it.

Speaking of people like Shimada, he has been in a bit of an awkward situation recently.

"White Night Walk" was very popular in the supplement, and even boosted the sales of the supplement to a certain extent, which shows that this book will definitely sell well. As for the extent to which it can sell well, there is no conclusion yet.

Whether it will sell 100,000 copies, 150,000 copies, 300,000 copies, or more? No one knows.

But what is certain is that this book will definitely not lose money. According to the editorial department's prediction, the sales volume will definitely be more than 150,000 copies, hovering around 300,000 copies.

For a new author, this is a very remarkable achievement. It means that the author can make a living as a writer and continue on the literary road steadily.

Facts have proved that there is no shortage of gravediggers anywhere. The fact that the editor of "White Night Journey" who first came to the Spring and Autumn Society to contact was actually a Shimada person was discovered by someone.

Therefore, after "White Night Walk" achieved results in the supplement, Shimada was often ridiculed by his colleagues, saying that he missed a rising star in the literary world, but was picked up by a "competitor".

For a magazine editor, the most serious accusation is "lack of vision", which is like accusing a writer of having no talent. Once an editor is recognized as a person without vision, he will be abandoned by the author and even the editorial department.

Therefore, Shimada's current mentality is a bit subtle: he is actually fervently hoping in his heart that the book "White Night Journey" will not sell too well.

This book will definitely make money, there is no doubt about it, but it is still unknown how much it will make. If this book can only sell 150,000 copies in the end, then this little mistake by someone like Shimada It’s nothing. It can only be said that “White Night Walk” had bad luck. The market has undergone slight changes, but the socialist film still has no future.

But if "White Night Walk" sells 300,000 yuan, or even more... then it will be a bit troublesome...

Perhaps the editorial department will think that Itagaki's ability to grasp the market is better than his, so the team leader position that was easily available after the completion of "Aurora 2" may have variables...

"Itagaki-kun." Ozawa Anka trotted all the way to Itagaki Kazuhiko, "I have some good news for you."

Shimada's attention was attracted by Ozawa Anka's words, and he subconsciously turned his ears to that place.

"What's the good news?" Itagaki Kazuhiko asked, and he immediately responded, "Miyano-sensei agreed?"

Ozawa Anxiang nodded: "Yes, she read the book and said she was willing to write a recommendation for "White Night Journey", but the good news I want to tell you is not this..."

The two began to whisper something, and Itagaki Kazuhiko's face was shocked at first, and then showed an expression of joy.

"This is real?"

"Of course...I can still lie to you?"

Shimada pretended to catch the water, moved his feet a few steps there, and almost put his ear on Itagaki Kazuhiko's mouth, but he still couldn't hear clearly what the two were talking about, which made him feel scratched at his heart.

Good news? What good news? Better news than Mika Miyano’s recommendation?

What on earth is this! I’m so anxious!

…

"Miyamoto-kun, have you seen Miss Mizuhara?" Kei Fujiwara didn't see Yui Mizuhara on the set, so he grabbed a director's assistant and asked.

"Miss Suwon seems to have gone to Studio 11."

"What was she doing there?"

"I heard that the production company invited several well-known writers to do a talk show. Ms. Mizuhara is a fan of Mr. Miyano, so she went to get an autograph..." Hasegawa Hide said after passing by.

"Miyano-sensei, which Miyano-sensei?"

"Mika Miyano, Fujiwara-kun, don't you read novels? Japan's queen of reasoning and the pride of Japanese literature."

"Oh." Kei Fujiwara remembered that Mika Miyano is one of the three best-selling authors in Japan. The other two best-selling authors are: Junzan Hattori, president of the Mystery Association, and Shunpei Kyogoku.

Although Watanabe Ikema's books are selling well, they are still far from being comparable to these three people.

Three people, belonging to three schools respectively. Among them, Mika Miyano is a representative writer of the Biange school, while Hattori Junshan is a master of the Honka school. Kyogoku Shunpei does not write mystery novels, but his "Hyakki Night Walk Series" monster novels

But it is well-known at home and abroad.

Mika Miyano has also collaborated with the Spring and Autumn Society, but Kei Fujiwara has never seen her much. A senior in the literary world has come to a place not far from me, and as a junior, you should always visit her.

Kei Fujiwara came to the backstage of Studio 11, saw Yui Mizuhara, and patted her gently from behind.

Mizuhara Yui turned around: "Fujiwara, why are you here too?"

"Come to accompany you." Fujiwara Keido looked up at the stage, where the host was chatting animatedly with several writers.

In addition to Mika Miyano, the master of reasoning Hattori Junzan is also there. The two belong to different schools and can be regarded as the two giants in the Japanese reasoning world today.

The host smiled and said: "Actually, many people on our stage are fans of the two teachers. Before going on stage, someone asked me to ask the two teachers if they have any plans to release new works recently?"

Hattori Junshan smiled and said: "I'm really sorry about this. I've been too addicted to mahjong recently. I haven't touched ink for several months."

The audience burst into laughter.

The host also laughed and continued to ask: "What about Mr. Miyano? Mr. Hattori's mahjong game is not for you, right?"

"Haha, of course not." Miyano Mika is in her fifties this year, but has quite a good temperament. She covered her mouth and smiled and said: "My new book is still in preparation, and there are so many good works recently, which makes me feel

It feels a bit stressful.”

"Yes, today's new writers are indeed very powerful. Sometimes we old guys feel a little overwhelmed." Hattori Junshan said with emotion.

"Hattori-san, the old guy you're talking about doesn't include me, right?" Miyano Mika said with a smile.

"Hahahaha, of course not, Mr. Miyano is a famous beauty in our Mystery Writers Association!"

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Miyano will serve as a judge for the Naoki Prize this year. Can you tell me a little bit about which works are more likely to win the prize?"

"I did see a lot of good works, but the one that impressed me the most, and the one that I think has the best chance of winning, is a socialist work written by a newcomer. And this book is what I recommended to readers after accidentally discovering it.
