256 [Island Country Pure Love Frenzy]
Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Waseda University.
"Yoshinaga-san, Yoshinaga-san...... Please wait for me!" a man in his twenties in a light gray coat was walking briskly towards a long-haired girl walking not far away.
"Shimada-san?"
Sayuri Yoshinaga stopped, looked back at the man running over, tilted her head and asked curiously, "Shimada-san, do you have anything to do with me?"
"It's... That's it...... "Shimada was running too fast just now, and when he arrived in front of Sayuri Yoshinaga, he couldn't speak.
Sayuri Yoshinaga smiled understandingly, "Shimada-san, you can catch your breath for a while." ”
"Well... Good. Shimada took a few breaths of air, calmed down for more than ten seconds, and finally felt a lot more comfortable, then swallowed his saliva and said: "Yoshinaga-sanga, don't you really want to buy that copy of Zhang Wanjun's "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" a few days ago?"
Sayuri Yoshinaga's eyes lit up, and she said with joy, "You bought Shimada-san?"
Seeing the beauty smile one by one, Shimada was slightly stunned for a few seconds, as if he was attracted by the charming smile, and his heart was beating with a puff.
"Shimada-san, Shimada-san......"
In the continuous shouting of Sayuri Yoshinaga, Shimada finally came to his senses, and hurriedly took out a brand new book from the briefcase he was carrying, handed it to the other party and said, "Yes, yes Yoshinaga-san, I asked a friend to bring it here." ”
"It's really "Worry Relief Grocery Store"!" Sayuri Yoshinaga took the book, looked at the title and the pattern on the cover, and covered her mouth in disbelief.
Shimada smiled: "Yes, I spent a lot of effort to ask a friend to buy it, and I heard that Yoshinaga-san likes it, so I will give it to you." ”
"Then what's embarrassing, I'll give you money, how much does this cost? Yoshinaga Xiaobai was about to pay for it, but as soon as he lowered his head, he was embarrassed to find that he was wearing a skirt when he went out today, and he didn't bring out his backpack.
Fortunately, Shimada on the side said, "No need Yoshinaga-san, didn't you help me with my homework a few days ago? If it weren't for you, I think I would have failed this exam again." This book is the money you gave me to make up the lessons, and I will have to trouble Yoshinaga a lot in the future!"
One after another, Sayuri Yoshinaga saw that Shimada was telling the truth, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll accept Shimada-san's book." ”
"You're welcome. Shimada clenched his fists excitedly.
"Then I'll go back to Shimada-san first. ”
"Goodbye!"
Sayuri Yoshinaga couldn't wait to go back to the dormitory after speaking, and was ready to take a look at this "Worry Relief Grocery Store".
Looking at the departing Sayuri Yoshinaga, Shimada showed a hint of admiration.
Since entering college a few years ago, Shimada has seen the dream goddess Sayuri Yoshinaga on the screen, and the love is like the water of the surging Yellow River, which is out of control.
But Shimada knows that he is just a poor student, and Sayuri Yoshinaga is not only a beautiful girl, but also a goddess who has made many movies, and there are countless suitors, and he can only put this love in his heart.
It wasn't until the end of the college graduation examination not long ago that Shimada heard that Sayuri Yoshinaga wanted to buy a copy of "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", so he quickly found a friend in the bookstore and got a new book from him that had just been printed for the third time, which not only cost him all his money, but also owed him a lot of favors.
But no matter what, Shimada saw the goddess of love smile at him, and the joy was self-evident.
Waseda University's women's dormitory.
Sayuri Yoshinaga came back and sat at his desk and began to flip through the book "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", which set off a frenzy of pure love in Japan!
Although this book Sayuri Yoshinaga has already borrowed from his classmates, but after all, that book belongs to someone else, and this time I finally have a copy of my own, which is still a brand new "Worry Relief Grocery Store", and the happy mood naturally goes without saying.
In fact, it stands to reason that Sayuri Yoshinaga, as the national goddess of Japanese cinema at this time, wants to get a copy of "Worry Relief Grocery Store", but after she was admitted to Waseda University, she concentrated on her studies and has been studying hard in the history department of the Faculty of Literature, and rarely goes out to make movies again.
And Sayuri Yoshinaga didn't ask anyone, but "Worry Relief Grocery Store" was printed three times in Japan, and every time it was released and listed, it was almost sold out, and she was embarrassed to ask others, so she didn't buy a copy for most of the month.
...
If between February 1970 and February 1970 was the world of science fiction "1999" in Japan, then since March, the Japanese book market has been ruled by a pure love "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" from Hong Kong!
Since the beginning of this year, Sajiro Aso, the editor-in-chief of Kodansha, has sent Nobita Fujiwara and Ryosuke Kimura to Hong Kong to discuss with Fok Yiu-man about translating his books for publication in Japan.
At that time, in order to open up the Japanese book market, Huo Yaowen proposed that he could further cooperate with Kodansha.
When Fujiwara Nobita returned to Japan, he told Aso Sajiro as soon as possible.
Within half a month, Fujiwara Nobita went to Hong Kong again, took Aso's reply to Zuojiro, and found Yao Wenjie, the editor-in-chief of Yaowen Book Publishing Company, to discuss the cooperation between the two sides in publishing. This is the same as Aoki Publishing House, where Huo Yaowen gave Kodansha books under his name or company to Kodansha for distribution in Japan.
Originally, Huo Yaowen engaged in this cooperation in order to develop a bookseller manager company, but he returned to the UK first and set up his headquarters there.
As a last resort, Huo Yaowen had no choice but to open another branch of bookseller managers and attach it to his Yaowen company.
In addition to Huo Yaowen's book, the first book that the two sides collaborated on was Zhang Wanjun's "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" and "Autumn Fairy Tale".
There are three points for Zhang Wanjun's book to be preferred: the first point is because these two books are the best-selling books of Yaowen Book Publishing Company, except for Huo Yaowen; second, the market for Japanese love is huge, no worse than that of detective suspense; and third, that is, Huo Yaowen has the idea of cultivating Zhang Wanjun to be a talented woman.
When Nobita Fujiwara returned to Japan with the two books of the contract and Zhang Wanjun, he actually didn't receive much attention at first. Kodansha's editor-in-chief, Sajiro Aso, also immediately began to find someone to translate Huo Yaowen's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Sweet Honey" and "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", as well as the book "Virtual Second World", which was a big hit in the United States.
Translating text is a very tiring job, even if Aso Sajiro hired many translators who are proficient in Chinese and English, he only took the lead in translating the two books "Sweet" and "Wind". Well, there are also Zhang Wanjun's "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" and "Autumn Fairy Tale".
As for "Virtual Second World", which has the highest expectations, the progress of translation is very slow due to various reasons. The main reason for this is that there are too many unfamiliar words in the book, and when translated into Japanese, the words may not make sense.
Kodansha got the copyright for the book "1999" in the first month, but it took them two months to translate it, and it was not until January that it was released in Japanese. Therefore, after obtaining the copyright of the Japanese translation of "Virtual Second World", Sajiro Aso can be said to have tried his best to find someone to translate, and it was planned that he would be able to translate it and publish it recently.
However, after the news that the book sold more than 2 million copies in the United States reached Japan, Aso Sajiro temporarily changed his mind and decided to find someone to re-translate and accurately revise it to confirm that it could perfectly restore the effect of the original work, and then it would be printed and released.
This also led to Aso Sajiro having to release the translated "Sweet" and "Wind" first, as well as Zhang Wanjun's "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store". Originally, with Huo Yaowen's fame in Japan at this time, the release of two romances is not a super hit, at least the sales will not be low.
After the release was confirmed, Kodansha bought advertisements for newspapers, radio and television stations, and with great fanfare, the two books began to be published in batches. But I don't know if it's a problem with translation, or if the Japanese don't like this style of book very much, after two months of release, although the sales are good, the two books together have 1.3 million copies, although considering that the market for this kind of book is so large, but it is still far from meeting Aso's psychological expectations.
When Aso Sajiro was disappointed that Huo Yaowen could only sell science fiction in Japan, "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", which was originally only a color head, brought him another surprise.
In just one month, Zhang Wanjun, a writer who is almost not well-known in Japan, wrote "Pure Love" with an astonishing sales of 100,000 copies. Don't look at it, it's not even a fraction of Huo Yaowen's, but this is because Aso Sajiro didn't give more resources and publicity at all, and the sales generated by word of mouth among book fans.
After seeing this book that brought him surprises, Aso Sajiro immediately invested a lot of money, with the first book "Pure Love" released in Japan, the writer is the first talented woman in Hong Kong, and borrowed the small number of science fiction elements such as time and space overlap in the book as a gimmick, and increased advertising efforts.
Under this vigorous publicity, the frenzy of pure love has set off in Japan, and countless young men and women have admired the heroes and heroines in the book, which has also led to the second spring of the dilapidated and businessless grocery stores in the streets and alleys of Japan that are squeezed by supermarkets.
Some clever grocery store owners immediately installed a mailbox outside the door of the grocery store with the word "worry relief" written on it, and set up a pen pal activity similar to the hero and heroine in the book to write letters, attracting young men and women who live in the surrounding area who are in the embryonic stage to submit letters. The most interesting thing about this is that it has given many young men and women who have never interacted with each other a platform to communicate, and it has also led to several relationships.
