As a writer, Xia You, of course, hopes that the more his books sell, the better, and the more readers who read them, the happier they are.
For the first printing of 150,000 copies of Sword Art Online, he naturally has a supportive attitude.
After a pause, Xia You asked.
"Then Machida editor, you came to me today, just to talk about this?"
"Of course not. Machida Enko shook her head.
She got up and walked to the cupboard in her office, took the briefcase that lay on it, and pulled out a document and a voice recorder.
She looked at Xia You with a smile, "I'm looking for you to come here today, in fact, to do a new book interview." โ
At present, since the signing meeting ended only a few days ago, the residual heat of RE0 has not subsided, and many forums such as 2ch are still being discussed.
And the strongest newcomer in history, Qingkong Xia, is also a hot topic of discussion among netizens.
Naturally, Kadokawa Bunko will not be unaware of this.
It is precisely because they know very well that they decided to take advantage of this wave of residual heat to carry out a wave of publicity and hype, and then push Sword Art Online to publish.
And one of the means of publicity and hype is the new book interview.
"New book interview......" Xia You raised his eyebrows.
Since he had also conducted an interview before the start of the summer season to cooperate with the upcoming RE0, he would not be unfamiliar.
Xia Yu asked again, "Then this time, will you be in charge of the interview?"
He remembered that it was Kasumigaoka-senpai who came to interview him before.
Machida Enko apparently remembered the incident as well, and a playful smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"What? Teacher Qing, you really prefer to let Xiaoshi come for an interview, right? After all, she is a beautiful girl with black silk. And the boobs are huge. โ
"Uh......"
Xia You was quite embarrassed about her somewhat straightforward words, and said in his heart that the reason why Senior Sister has become so dirty now may not be affected by this guy.
Of course, Machida Yuanzi was joking when he said this, because he was quite familiar with Xia You, so he didn't mind teasing him with some pornography.
If it were in front of other people, such as in Kadokawa Bunko Company, Machida Enko was also notoriously cold, how could he make these jokes.
"Xiao Shi, she should still be in retreat to write magazine short stories, so she can't find time to come over. The joke was also made, and Machida Enko got back to business.
"Ah...... That's true. โ
Machida Enko said, Xia Youcai remembered that when he had lunch on the day of the signing party, Kasumigaoka Senpai did say that he wanted to rush the draft, so he also refused the invitation to go to the summer Comic, saying that he wanted to continue the liver.
Of course, anyone knows that this is just a pretext, even if they are really idle and have nothing to do, it is impossible for the heavy otaku to go to the CM Comic Con.
"Well, if that's the case, there's no way. Xia You shrugged.
"Well, so this time I will wronged you, Teacher Qing, and I will interview you instead of Xiaoshi. No problem, right?" Machida Aenko said half-jokingly again.
Hearing this, Xia You was afraid that this guy would be the same as just now, so he nodded hurriedly, "Of course it's no problem!"
Seeing that he nodded cooperatively, Machida Enko smiled with satisfaction, picked up the document prepared in advance, and was about to start the interview.
But then, she sighed, looked at Xia You with beautiful eyes, and asked, "By the way, Mr. Qing, speaking of magazine short stories, I don't know if you are interested in taking a single serialization?"
"It's the same theme as the short story that Senior Sister Kasumigaoka is writing now?" Xia You asked curiously.
He remembered that the senior sister had mentioned it before, and she wrote a suspenseful work this time.
Because Xia You didn't read much suspense in his previous life, there were only a few, so he was not very good at writing about it.
However, the situation didn't seem to be what Xia Yu thought, and Machida Yuanzi shook his head.
"No, it's different from the short serialization of the poem, this time it's a youth theme. โ
"Hmm, youth theme......"
"Well, is the teacher interested in the next? I just have a serial quota vacant in the magazine here, if you want to write it, I can give it to you first. Machida asked.
A company as big as Kadokawa Bunko naturally can't just operate physical light novels, magazines, newspapers, online articles, etc., are all involved, but the secondary weight is different.
As the editor-in-chief, Machida Enko is in charge of a magazine.
In this way, it happened that there was a vacancy in the serial quota, so she naturally gave priority to the authors in charge of it. People are selfish.
Since Kasumigaoka Shiyu has already received an order, it is not needed, and the Yamada fairy has traveled with his uncle so far, and has never returned, so he can't see anyone at all.
The only candidate who can be considered is naturally Xia You.
"Hmm...... To be honest, I'm somewhat interested. After thinking about it, Xia You raised his head and said.
If he writes about suspense, then he really doesn't have much thought, but it's different if he changes it to a youth theme.
Xia You had thought a long time ago that he would write those classic works in his previous life.
Among them, the priority is the work of Makoto Shinkai.
For example, like Second Five, Yan Ye, etc., except for the movie version, they all have their own novel versions.
As a die-hard fan, Xia You has naturally already collected a set.
It would be nice to take this opportunity to write them out.
However, due to the busy future, Xia You first had to participate in the Summer Comic, and he had to write Kanon's planning plan, and he was not sure if he could find the time.
So he was a little hesitant.
"Machida editor, I would like to ask, how long is the deadline for this short story?" asked Natsuyu.
"Well, it's quite long, more than half a month. What's wrong?"
Machida Enko saw that he looked hesitant and couldn't help asking.
Xia You explained a little, explaining that he will be busy lately and may not have time to write.
After listening to him, Machida Yuanzi was stunned, and she smiled and said:
"Well, but I don't think there's any need to worry. With your writing speed, even if you don't have time these days, and there is still nearly half a month to go, as long as you retreat for a period of time, you should be able to complete it on time, right?"
"Well, that's ......."
Xia You doesn't say anything else, the speed of the codeword is first-class.
After all, it was he who fought hard in the past from the online literature industry of five watches, ten watches, and even twenty watches a day.
With this kind of hand speed, there is really no need to coax.
"Okay, then I'll take this serialization. Xia You made up his mind.
Hearing this, Machida Enko also smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll send the request for the short serialization to your LINE, teacher." โ
"Okay. Xia You nodded.
At this time, he remembered what he was doing, "Ah, I almost forgot, Machida editor, aren't we going to have a new book interview?"
"That's right!"
Machida Enko almost forgot about it, and couldn't help but knock her head.
Although the age is delicate and close to thirty years old, because it is well maintained, and the original appearance is not low, such a small action of tapping the head makes Machida Yuanzi look a little playful and cute.
