"This work should be promoted according to the highest specifications!"

The next day, at the morning meeting of Kadokawa Press, Yoshino exercised his authority as editor-in-chief and issued the supreme order. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As Yoshino's voice fell, the other editors of the publishing house all looked at each other, and finally, one of the veteran editors, who had been working for many years, raised his head and hesitated: "Editor-in-chief, is it propaganda according to the highest specifications of new writers?"

"What is the highest specification of a newcomer?"

Yoshino glared and said: "Is it because I didn't say it clearly enough, to promote this "The Devotion of Suspect X" according to the specifications of the works of top writers, isn't Theking going to challenge Endoma, and we Kadokawa Publishing House will give him this stage!"

"Editor-in-chief, there is no precedent......"

"Although theking's "White Night Walking" is very powerful, it has a lot of risks......

"And the newcomer's work is always full of uncertainty, and if the sales are insufficient, there will be a lot of losses......

"Does the editor-in-chief already know who theking's identity is, and the pen name theking is the vest of Matsushita or Takagi?"

In the conference room, all the editors said that as one of the top three publishing houses in Japan, Kadokawa Publishing House uses top specifications to promote a new book, which means a lot of money is invested, and if there is not enough hot sales, it is even difficult to return to the original cost!

In Japan, unless it is the work of a top writer like Endoma, it is eligible to be promoted at the highest standard.

And theking, a writer who was born out of thin air and whose first book became popular, and whose second work can only be mixed with medium-sized publicity, has never had a precedent for a newcomer to obtain a top-level standard.

Listening to the gossip of the group of editors under him, Yoshino frowned and said, "Haven't you seen "The Dedication of Suspect X"? If you have finished reading "The Dedication of Suspect X", you will not be able to ask me such a stupid question!"

"I ......"

"The ......"

The editors in the seats all looked embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Yoshino slammed his right hand on the table in the conference room: "Didn't I send a copy of each of your mailboxes last night, so that you can take a good look, you guys are all taking my words as the editor-in-chief as a deaf ear?"

Exhaling, Yoshino said to an assistant, "Go and print out 'The Devotion of Suspect X' and distribute it." ”

He also knows the virtue of his group of editors, generally speaking, unless it is the work of those famous artists, he will work overtime to read it when he gets off work, and the new work of theking, a writer who relies on a book, cannot arouse their interest at all.

The assistant walked out of the conference room under Yoshino's serious gaze,

Five minutes later, the assistant showed up in the office with more than a dozen printed copies of "The Devotion of Suspect X."

Yoshino motioned for it to be distributed, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't rush to work this morning, put aside the work at hand first, and watch "The Devotion of Suspect X" here, and after reading it, everyone will tell me their feelings." ”

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

The editors agreed.

They have realized at this moment that I am afraid that this "The Devotion of Suspect X" is not simple.

Otherwise, the editor-in-chief wouldn't be angry at all because everyone didn't read this work last night, after all, this kind of thing is already normal in publishing houses, and it's tiring enough to review manuscripts when they usually go to work, who would choose to continue reading the manuscript when they get off work?

When I got the manuscript that still exuded the warmth of the printer, every editor took it seriously.

As time ticked by, Yoshino sat in the chair in the center of the room, quietly observing the reactions of the editors.

Although he has great confidence in "The Devotion of Suspect X" and has decided to use his resources to promote the book, there are no absolutes, and Yoshino is inevitably worried about whether his taste has deviated, and this kind of thing is not without precedent.

The work that you think is wonderful may not necessarily be wonderful for others, and it is possible that others may find it ugly.

This is also the reason why all publishing houses and editorial offices always have a group of editors cross-reviewing, after all, no one dares to say that their own taste can represent the taste of the whole Japanese public, and only a work that most editors agree with can be considered a good work.

It was half past ten o'clock in the afternoon, and more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Yoshino looked at his watch, and at the speed of a professional editor, he should have finished reading "The Devotion of Suspect X" by this time.

When he opened his mouth to say something, the old editor from before suddenly stood up from his seat and said excitedly: "Editor, whose vest is theking!?"

Yoshino smiled, the old editor's reaction was already explaining something, he lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter who the king is, what matters is what you think, how is this book written?"

The old editor said without hesitation: "It is completely possible to beat the "Park" released by Endo some time ago!"

And as the old editor finished speaking, the other editors who had finished reading "The Dedication of Suspect X" also raised their heads and stared at Yoshino with burning eyes: "Editor-in-chief, I completely agree to promote this "The Dedication of Suspect X" with the highest specifications!"

"It's amazing, this book is no less than "White Night Walking"!"

"It seems to be the same style, but in fact, the theme is completely different, and there is also the same place, that is, they all exude a classic atmosphere. ”

"No, no, no, in my opinion, this "The Devotion of Suspect X" is more outstanding than "White Night Walking", because this novel is more like a mystery novel than "White Night Walking"!"

"This is the most perfect scam I've ever seen, and I'm even more convinced that theking is not a rookie writer, if he is a newcomer, it would be too demonic, but if you think about it, we don't have writers in Japan with the same style as "White Night Walking" and "The Devotion of Suspect X......"

The comments from the editors came out one after another, and the smile on Yoshino's lips gradually spread, and he was sure that he had really picked up a treasure this time!

Kadokawa Publishing House is one of the largest publishing houses in the industry, and such a large publishing house must have an editor-in-chief on it, as well as many deputy editors-in-chief, as well as more than a dozen editors-in-chief, and more importantly, there is performance competition between each editor-in-chief!

The competition for the performance of editors naturally revolves around the sales of works.

So if you want the sales of the work to be high enough, first of all, the quality of the work itself must be good enough.

The second is that the propaganda must be in place, and now the quality of "The Dedication of Suspect X" has been proved from the reaction of the group of editors under him, so the next thing is naturally to find a way to do a good job of publicity, in the words of Long Guo-

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
