Chapter Fifty-eight: Big hit
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, we will print it immediately..."
"The third batch will be delivered to your store immediately."
"The factory is working non-stop now..."
"Sold out again?" Nobu Kawaguchi couldn't believe it, "How many days has it been?"
In six days, 150,000 copies were sold out again, and the popularity of this book seemed to be getting higher and higher, growing exponentially compared to the previous few days.
One book reviewer even made a prediction. He said that the probability of "White Night Walk" winning the award was 30% before, but now it is only 15%.
Why do you say that? It's not because "White Night Walk" didn't sell well, but it sold too well.
Being anti-market is a common problem in many academic art awards, such as the Oscars. For them to award the best picture to a box office champion is more uncomfortable than killing their own mother. Even if this movie is as good as "Avatar" and revitalizes the year
Sluggish film market.
Naoki Prize also has this problem more or less. If a book is too popular and sells too well, this will actually reduce the probability of the book winning awards.
"More printing! More printing!" Kawaguchi Nobu reacted and quickly ordered his subordinates, "The third batch... three hundred thousand copies!"
"yes!"
"White Night Walk" has really become popular. Although we still don't know how many copies it will sell, there seems to be no doubt that this book will become the best-selling book of Spring and Autumn Society this year.
Didn't you see that the first printing of "Aurora Murders 2", which had high hopes, sold out quickly, but not even half of the second batch of 150,000 copies has been sold out, and with the controversy surrounding this book
, the sales of books are getting slower and slower.
However, "White Night Walk" has already gained unimaginable popularity among readers, topping the best-seller lists in many bookstores.
"Itagaki-kun!" Kawaguchi Nobu called.
"exist!"
"Contact Fujiwara-kun and arrange a book signing for him! It will be arranged at Junkudo Bookstore! Contact the person in charge of the bookstore in advance, notify the factory, and rush to produce special editions, collector's editions, and deluxe editions to coordinate sales and pricing at the meeting
It’s up to the decision.”
"no problem!"
Itagaki Kazuhiko hurriedly called. Ozawa Anka was talking to the author on the editorial department phone. When she saw Itagaki Kazuhiko approaching, she quickly hung up and handed the phone to him.
There is no way, who made the work he is responsible for become popular? Now all the affairs of the editorial department have to make way for "White Night Walk".
The 300,000 originally predicted by the editorial department now seems like a ridiculous number, but if we ask them what the ultimate sales volume of "White Night Walk" will be, no one dares to say for sure. But it is definitely more than 300,000.
.
Itagaki Kazuhiko dialed the number, and then waited for Fujiwara Kei to call back. After a while, the phone rang, and Itagaki Kazuhiko answered the phone: "Hello, Fujiwara-kun, it's me..."
After hanging up the phone, Ozawa Anxiang said enviously: "Mr. Itagaki, where did you find this author? Is he a graduate of the School of Liberal Arts? Does he have any classmates or friends? Introduce him to me."
"Haha, this kind of genius is hard to come by, and he didn't graduate from a liberal arts college. He is now working in a TV station. Have you watched "Anthropological Observation"?"
Ozawa Anxiang was startled: "I've seen it."
"That's a program he's responsible for producing. I heard he's also the main creator, and he's only 23 years old. Talented people can always exceed people's expectations."
Ozawa Anxiang said sourly: "Then next time my author publishes a new book, you have to help me write a recommendation."
"That's for sure!" Itagaki Kazuhiko said, patting his chest.
Ozawa Anxiang smiled. Although she helped recommend "White Night Journey" to Miyano Mika, she also knew in her heart that the reason why this book is so popular now mainly relies on the quality of the novel itself. Miyano Mika's The words of recommendation only play a small role, but even so, this is also a personal preference.
She was holding a cup and collecting water from the water dispenser. She was passing by a work station when she suddenly felt a burst of low air pressure and a numbing resentment. When she turned her head, she saw Shimada sitting at her work station with a miserable face. On position.
He put his hands on the table, clasping them together like a primary school student. His face was pale, his lips had no color, and his eyes were looking ahead dully.
Ozawa Anxiang lowered her head inquiringly and asked cautiously: "Shimada-kun, are you okay?"
Shimada turned his head and looked at her with a bitter look on his face, "It's okay with me, Miss Ozawa."
"It's okay. I brought some fruit. Do you want some?"
Shimada lowered his head and paid no attention to her. Ozawa Anxiang didn't say anything more and walked away with the cup. She also felt a little sympathy in her heart and thought: What an unlucky child.
In fact, the news had spread before. It was said that Fujiwara Kei's "Hyakuya no Oi" initially contacted Shimada, but was rejected. The two parties seemed to have a quarrel over something, so Fujiwara Kei went to find him. Itagaki Kazuhiko.
However, Itagaki Kazuhiko showed great courage and vision, and strongly requested the magazine to publish this socialist work. Even if a work of this genre had failed not long ago, if he failed again, he would be reassigned to the company. He didn't hesitate to bet on his own future, but in the end, he won the bet.
So now the company's top executives are full of praise for Itagaki Kazuhiko, thinking that he is courageous, courageous, and a leader. It was he who took a fancy to the potential of the socialist faction early on, and that's why he discovered authors like Keita Shiba .
As for the socialist work that failed before, what does that count? It was just an inevitable obstacle encountered on the right path. It was a necessary trial and error behavior. Look, didn't it bear fruit?
I'm afraid that the position of team leader...
Judging from the sales momentum of "Aurora 2", it seems that it is not satisfactory. At the very least, it is estimated that it cannot beat "White Night".
…
Kei Fujiwara hung up the phone and thought to himself: Will there be a book signing?
Junkudo Bookstore? It seems to be in Ikebukuro, right?
It seems that I still have to go to work that day, but asking for leave from Mizuhara Yui shouldn't be a problem. After all, it's important to cooperate with the editor in promoting the new book.
And looking at the momentum, the book "White Night Walk" has already shown its power, and Fujiwara Kei predicts that the final sales volume will be more than 1.5 million copies (calculated on a one-year basis).
With a price of 2,700 yen, and based on the royalty calculation method negotiated by Fujiwara Kei and the Spring and Autumn Society, the final royalty received is almost in the hundreds of millions. This book alone can ensure that he has enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.
When he first started working in a television station, he was still worried that his novels would not sell well. Now that worry has disappeared. Now, whether he is a full-time writer or doing both, it is all whatever he likes.
Having said that, just filming variety shows is not enough. In Japan, the status of variety shows is still not high, even if you are the main creator. If you want to continue working on a TV station, you still have to make TV series.
Manager Lin of the variety show department seems to have talked with Yui Mizuhara and asked them to continue filming the second season of "Anthropology". The second season only needs to continue the shooting style of the first season. There is no creative difficulty. Yui Mizuhara
He must not be the kind of person who likes to rest on his laurels all his life. He didn't believe that the other party had no ideas for TV series production.
You have to find a chance to talk to her.
