Chapter 184: Interview with the Author
Summer file, which is enough to cause excitement for every business writer who has debuted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
During this time, as long as you can seize the opportunity and launch a work, it is easy to sell sales that you could not have imagined before.
Because of this, every writer is trying their best to take advantage of this opportunity to earn more money back.
Among them, there is the famous Shinobu Akiyama.
After a long time, its masterpiece "Original Sin Series" finally launched the fourth sequel "Lazy", and when the news was released, it caused a very enthusiastic response from readers.
Obviously, this sequel, which has been stagnant for a year, is very much anticipated.
In addition to Shinobu Akiyama, there will be many great god writers at that time.
As the strongest rookie writer this year, Xia You is naturally pinned on by Kadokawa Bunko, and is ready to sell RE0 in the summer file, so that he can compete with those god-level writers on the same stage.
That's a lot of anticipation.
Of course, Xia You's achievements are also worthy of this expectation.
You know, RE0 is just a pre-order number, and so far it has exceeded 50,000 copies.
The sales of the writer who also participated in the Sneaker Newcomer Award with him, the second place Seven Star Witch, only nearly 10,000 copies.
I believe that when the actual sales are launched, it will be able to set off a sales frenzy again.
In order to cooperate with the promotion of the sale at that time, Machida Enko had informed Natsuyu as early as last Saturday that she would go to the Kadokawa Bunko headquarters on Thursday to conduct an interview with the author.
And today, Xia You went to the appointment as scheduled and took a ride to Kadokawa Library.
...
"Okay, then please let me start recording here. Mr. Qing, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule today to accept our interview. β
It seems quite respectful on the letter, but the tone has no ups and downs, like a stick reading line.
The owner of this cold voice, there is no doubt about it, is Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
The black of the poisonous tongue is long and straight.
The plump curves that are full of flesh and are about to come out.
The long legs wrapped in black stockings with Erlang's legs are extremely tempting.
"Well, Machida editor, can I ask? Why is Kasumigaoka-sani here?"
"Ah, this~ Teacher Natsu Aoku, listen to me first. "Machida Enko.
It's exactly the same as Kasumigaoka Shiyu.,A woman in a black suit sitting next to Jiro with her legs crossed.,A faint smile on her face.γ
She said with a slightly apologetic expression: "Originally, we were scheduled to hire a special writer to do this interview, but that person disappeared after taking over the job, and now we can't contact him at all, so we have to temporarily find someone else to replace him." Coincidentally, Ms. Xia Shizi said that she was willing to take the job. So I asked her to interview you, Teacher Qing. β
"That's right. Listening to Machida Yuanzi's explanation, Xia You didn't think much about it and nodded.
"What's the matter? If I do the interview, will Xia Youjun feel very lost?"
Flicking the black hair that fell from his ears, his eyes slanted, Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked indifferently.
"Not really, it's just a little unaccustomed. β
Xia You shook his head.
"But, Sister Kasumigaoka-san, have you read my book?"
"Of course. β
Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded.
As early as a few days ago, when I was not well and was still staying at home, Kasumigaoka Shiwa asked for the original manuscript of RE0 from Machida Yuanko.
By now, I've watched it more than ten times.
For RE0's plot understanding, Kasumigaoka Shiha is confident that she will not lose to other readers.
As for Xia You's participation in the newcomer award, she has also learned about it and is very familiar with it.
In addition-
"I guess as the first reader of RE0, it would make sense for me to do the interview. β
"Ah, that's right. Stunned, Xia You couldn't help but smile and nodded.
After Kasumigaoka Shiyu said this, he remembered that the first reader of RE0 was actually the black-haired girl in front of him who looked a little lazy.
Of course, in that family restaurant, Kasumigaoka Shiba was secretly watching without permission.
And after reading it, I also asked him for the novel with confidence.
It's really brutal enough.
"How do I feel that Xia Youjun are thinking about something very rude?"
Xia You couldn't help but look sideways, "No, this is your illusion." β
β...... Really?" smiled slightly, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu was also entangled in this.
She picked up the recorder on the table again, and looked at Xia You, "Does Xia Youjun have any questions?" If there is no doubt, then I will start the interview. β
"Ah, let's get started. Xia You nodded.
"Ahemβ"
Clearing his throat, Kasumigaoka Shiyu pressed the switch of the voice recorder and said the first question with honorifics: "As the winner of this year's Sneaker Newcomer Award, I don't know how you feel about this competition?"
"Well, overall it's pretty good, and I'm really happy to win the big prize, but I'm also quite surprised. I thought there was no hope. Xia You said with a smile.
"Among the previous Sneaker Newcomer Award winners, Mr. Qing, your experience of participating in the competition is quite bumpy - you participated in the Sneaker Award halfway, and then experienced various waves of criticism, but fortunately, you got the support of many readers and writers, and you were able to survive and win the award. Do you have anything you would like to say to the readers who support you and the writers who have come to you?"
Kasumigaoka Shiwa threw out the second question.
After summarizing the wording a little, Xia Youcai replied:
"Well, the people who have supported me, really, really appreciated. If it weren't for your backing, RE0 wouldn't be where it is today. I will write carefully and bring you better works in the future. β
"Mr. Qing, you are the founder of the reincarnation stream in another world, how did you come up with such an idea?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu threw out the question she was most curious about.
As a light novelist who debuted for more than a year, although Kasumigaoka Shiyu has already had very good results, and her debut work has sold more than 500,000 copies in five volumes, she still feels dissatisfied.
This is not satisfied not with the manuscript fee, but with his own work.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu really wants to write a unique work like Natsuyu.
"Hmm, how did you come up with such an idea-"
Xia You hesitated slightly.
He can't say that he is reincarnated in another world or something, he has already been rotten in his previous life.
After smiling bitterly and pondering a little in his heart, he continued: "It's probably a flash of inspiration. β
"A flash of inspiration?"
"Yes, I often read some Western fantasy novels, and in those works, the protagonist is without exception a character from the original worldview. When I read the contents of the book, I sometimes wonder what kind of adventure it would have if a real human became the protagonist, and I thought about it, so I came up with RE0. β
"I see, then Mr. Ignorant Qing, have you conceived the follow-up plot of RE0 at present? For such a new genre of work, it shouldn't be easy to write it, right?"
"Well, it's really a little difficult, but I've fully conceived the follow-up plot, although I haven't written much yet, but I believe it will be very exciting to write, so stay tuned. Xia You said with a smile.
"Okay, that's the end of this interview, thank you for your cooperation. β
After saying that, Kasumigaoka Shiyu turned off the voice recorder.
