Chapter 310: Signing Meeting

In general, isn't it true that the more talented the author, the better?

That means that the work they write will look better and sell better. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"That's just a generalization. ”

As if seeing through what the two of them were thinking, Ayako Kuraki said without hurry.

As she spoke, she squinted at Machida Enko with a funny expression.

For example, the editor-in-chief of Machida is an exception. ”

"What do you mean?"

The two of Asada once again raised question marks.

Putting down the coffee cup, Machida Enko couldn't help but glance at her best friend.

"Ayako, you ...... guy"

It really hasn't changed.

Ever since I met in college, I've always liked to watch her embarrassment.

However, Ayako Kuraki is right, she is indeed a rather rare 'exception'.

Now, if you ask who is the editor with the most potential in Kadokawa Bunkori, you will surely come up with the same answer: Machida Enko.

Because she has three good cards in her hand.

And there is one of them that has the potential to become an ace.

They are Yamada Fairy, Kasumi Shiko, and Aokuna Natsu.

Needless to say, the first two have only been debuting for more than a year, but they have both become the backbone writers of Kadokawa Bunko.

Yamada Fairy's debut is the fourth volume, and 22,000 copies are sold this week.

Xia Shizi's new work launched after half a year since the end of "Love Metronome" has sold a total of more than 40,000 copies this week.

In this August summer file, the works they launched have all achieved excellent results.

Even compared to the veteran writers in the library, it is not far behind.

But what is even more dazzling than Xia Shizi and the two is the newcomer writer Qingkong Xia.

His debut work RE0 has sold a total of nearly 200,000 copies in the summer so far, beating a group of light novelists who are selling in the same file.

Although it can't be compared to top writers like Shinobu Akiyama and Izumi Takatsuki, it's already extremely powerful.

In front of this data, those who originally questioned the participation in the rookie award in the middle of Qingkong Summer, but finally won the championship, and there must be shady scenes, were slapped hard.

Immediately, they all shut their mouths together.

And Machida Enko, who has these three writers in hand, naturally quickly became a celebrity in Kadokawa Bunko.

There are even faint rumors in the company that as long as she can grasp these three people, the future editor-in-chief of the library will have the position of Machida Enko.

This is not an exaggeration. Because of the potential of the three authors under her command, it is really great.

However, then again, just like a coin has two sides, the authors under him are all talented and have corresponding troubles.

In other words, very problematic children.

The first is the Yamada fairy, I have to say that at the age of thirteen, she can become a best-selling light novelist, and she really has a talent for writing.

But because he's too young, this guy doesn't have any consciousness at all, and he also likes to play games.

It's very powerful to always shout, 'I'm here to recharge my energy to create a masterpiece,' but in reality she's just fishing.

Before the deadline comes, there will be absolutely no codewords, which can be called the writer's creed of the Yamada fairy.

And Kasumi Shizi, compared to the Yamada fairy, as a high school student, she is more conscious.

I don't procrastinate much, I don't play games much, and I'm diligent in coding words.

But she has a very bad point, that is, when she is uninspired or can't write a work that satisfies her, she will keep deleting it.

Even when the deadline comes, I refuse to hand in anything.

Since becoming the editor of Kasumi Shiko, Machida Yuanzi has been tortured enough by her habit.

Originally, Machida Yuanzi thought that she had met Xia You, but this was finally a good author.

has talent but does not delay, RE0 has only sold the first volume, and the second volume has already been sent.

And it's very cooperative in all aspects, and when it comes to conducting author interviews, author interviews are conducted, and Xia Shizi, who has not even cooperated with a signing meeting since her debut, is a world of difference.

This super good attitude simply moved Machida Yuanzi to tears.

However, the good times did not last long, and the problem soon came-

"Can't contact Natsu-sensei Aoku at all?" After listening to Machida Yuanzi's brief description, Asada editor was surprised.

"Yes......." Machida Enko sighed helplessly.

Since five days ago, after parting in front of that conveyor belt sushi restaurant, she has not been able to contact Xia You.

LINE has never seen him online, and he has not received a reply to his messages.

Yesterday I finally couldn't wait, so Machida Yuanzi called over, but no one answered, so I was helpless.

If it's not something important, it doesn't matter if you can't get in touch, just wait.

But the problem is that the situation is quite urgent now.

In the summer sales, RE0 sales have tended to be saturated, declining day by day, and finally fell below 10,000 copies yesterday - although it is still a very good data, but compared with the previous results of tens of thousands of daily sales, the gap is huge.

For this reason, Kadokawa Bunko decided to hold a book signing to see if the sales of RE0 could rebound with a wave of publicity.

In addition, after the signing meeting, the library has officially put the sale of swords on the agenda.

Previously, due to the sake of secrecy and convenience, the news of Xia You's other work "Sword Art Online" was firmly suppressed.

Now, it's time to show it.

And these things, in addition to the need for the library to contribute, as the author, Xia You, naturally has to cooperate.

So Machida Yuanzi had reminded Xia You before and asked him to remember to pay attention.

Of course, since it's hard to say when RE0 will fall below sales, Machida Enko didn't decide the specific time, but just told Xia Yu to spare time.

But now let alone free time, she can't even contact Xia You.

If it weren't for the fact that he had only seen Natsuyu five days ago, Machida Enko would have wondered if something had happened to him.

"Could it be that Teacher Qingkong Xia is in retreat? That's why I can't get in touch. Yamami editors give their own guesses.

"It's not impossible~" Editor Asada nodded in agreement.

"I don't know ....... either," Machida said helplessly.

It was precisely because she was afraid that Xia You might be in retreat that she couldn't bear not to visit directly.

After all, some writers are easily angry when their train of thought is interrupted and their creation is affected.

And Machida Enko is not sure if Natsuyu is like this.

"Or, ask Teacher Xia Shizi, they are all the authors you are responsible for, maybe you have said anything in private. Ayako Kuraki said as she sipped her coffee.

"Well, that's all it can be......." Machida Enko nodded with a wry smile.

But—

"Before that, I'd better call Mr. Qing a few more times to try it, maybe I can get through. ”

With that, she picked up her phone and walked out, and everyone dispersed.

Although I told them, Machida Yuanzi didn't think she could get through.

After all, she has called so many times from yesterday to now, and she has not seen anyone answer once.

However, to the extreme surprise, the phone call was answered in just a few seconds.

What came from the mobile phone was Xia You's gentle voice.

"Moses Moses. ”

"Machida editor, what's the matter? ”
