Chapter 295: Xenophobia (5/5)

"Hey......" Tian Song was a little helpless and nodded, he just didn't say it, everyone also knew the situation of "Teenagers and Books". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Although it is the largest magazine opened by Chinese people in the island country, there are too many magazine publishers in the island country, and the competitiveness of "Youth and Books" is really not strong.

Tian Song added, "I'm not trying to earn more or less for myself, I'm afraid that the magazine's sales will be low and its influence will be low, which will affect your works!"

"It doesn't matter, gold always shines. The old man sighed and said.

You know, how can these four of them be regarded as the top masters in the Chinese detective industry, this will, even if they can send it to help, they can't help it at all, because the work does not meet the love of readers in the island country?

"I just hope that we can win against East Paw this time, and that's a good situation!" Wei Tianzong said. "This time, it's Wei Mou and the old man, plus Mingchuan to try it together. I just hope I can win that East Paw!"

Although Dongpaw did not continue to challenge, there was a message saying that the victory was not scored, so it was better to continue.

Tojaw didn't win the Yokono Masashi Award this time either. I want to talk about the sales of the next book, or the influence. Maybe he wanted to talk about the upcoming Edo Awards, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to win them.

It seems that this time, the self-righteous belief of the Eastern Claw has also known to be afraid!

"Oda, the most popular novel lately, is it the one you mentioned, "After School"? The author is a newcomer to Ozawa?"

Meichuan suddenly asked.

"This ......" Tian Song hesitated.

"What's wrong?" everyone looked at him a little strangely.

"Actually, I kind of think that this Ozawa is Aoi. Tian Song replied.

"Why?

Everyone was very strange for a while, but they also knew that Tian Song was not a person who talked nonsense, and they all looked at him one by one, waiting for his answer.

Seeing the way everyone looked at him, Tian Song took a deep breath and explained, "One is because Aoi and Ozawa both chose "Detective Hall". ”

Everyone was surprised, they had written novels for many years, and naturally knew that this sentence had nothing to do with the question just now. But Tian Song's second sentence made them also sure.

"The second one is this. Tian Song said as he sent out a picture, which was a screenshot from the bottom corner of the cover of the single book "White Night Walking" and a screenshot from the corner of the magazine "After School".

"This is ......" The group looked at it, and soon realized that something was wrong.

"This Aoi's last stroke, and Ozawa's last stroke, seems to have something?" Wei Xiang said tentatively. You know, people like them would do these things.

For example, a well-known painter in China likes to hide his name when he paints.

And when I like to write calligraphy, I add a certain stroke to the side note.

Wei Xiang likes that in the first sentence of each chapter, at the end of the paragraph is his name, or some other sentence related to the novel.

The same symbol appears on the author's signature of the two novels, which is most likely the mark made by the same author. It can also be a habitual action.

"This is a picture that I have asked someone to process. Tian Song said, and sent two more pictures.

Compared to the previous one, the corners of these two are much blurred, but this mark is much clearer.

Still can't see what the symbol is. Wei Xiang simply turned the picture upside down, turned it around again, and said in his mouth,

β€œdeicide”

"What?"

"Xiao Wei, you found out. ”

"Oh, that's it......"

Wei Xiang read Deicide's name again and said with a smile.

"Deicide, god killer, what a crazy tone!"

"Don't say anything about the godslayer," Tian Song suddenly spoke, and said with a smile, "Look at my brain, there are several masters' works here, where do you need to worry about any sales!"

It is true that after serializing "The Castle" and "Kite", the sales of "The Boy and the Book" have indeed increased a lot, but there are also many negative reviews. After all, in the eyes of many island people, "The Boy and the Book" is in the literary fight between Master Dongja and Mingchuan, and it is Mingchuan who supports it. This aroused the opposition of many readers, and some people even carried out a lot of opposition activities at the entrance of the magazine.

Tian Song's main concern is this.

"That's right. Wei Xiang then spoke. He only published one work, "Kite", but after other people's works came out, he could also help.

The reason why Wei Xiang did not participate was actually this "Kite", although it did not use supernatural techniques, and it was also a great success. But he always felt weird in his heart. So I'm going to do more research in the near future.

……

"President, the outside is spray-painted again. The assistant said helplessly to Tian Song.

China is strong, but its cultural level is low, so many people on the island also have some hatred towards China. So at the door of the magazine, there will be one or two people recently, either spray paint on the windows, or sticker strips. Of course, it is not excluded that it was sent by other magazines.

In the past two days, Tian Song has been preparing to install two monitors outside the house, thinking that he can curb the occurrence of such incidents.

"Let's get someone to clean it up first. Tian Song said helplessly, "After cleaning up, call everyone to come to the meeting!"

Soon, after the news of the meeting spread, all the staff gathered.

"The problem we are going to talk about this time, which everyone must know, is the problem of the recent sluggish sales. Tian Song said, "If you have any opinions, just put them forward." ”

At this time, a young man sitting next to him said, "Some time ago, because of the relationship between the serialization of "Castle" and "Kite", the sales volume has obviously gone up, and I heard that the boss has contacted several masters, so as long as the master's new work is serialized, the sales volume should not worry about it at all. ”

"That's not the case," another female editor said, "Judging from the previous "Castle" and "Kite", the castle is a Westernized reasoning model, and the characters and plot are set in the West. Kites, on the other hand, focus on reasoning techniques, and the background can also be ignored. Therefore, these two works can be nominated for the Yokono Masashi Award at the same time, and they can also drive sales. ”

"What Xiao Su said makes sense. Tian Song said, "You know, the island country is a big country of detective novels, but at the same time, readers in the island country don't like novels set in other countries. Especially when Higashija Ichiro and Master Meikawa declared war. ”

That's right, judging from the nomination of the Yokono Masashi Award this time, it can also be seen. Xiao Su spoke again, "Of the ten novels nominated this time, five of them are written by local writers in island countries, two are Chinese writers, and two are from country E and United States. ”

"There is also Master Aoi, who has not revealed his identity until now, who won the championship in the end!" added the young man who started.

"Yes, although Aoi has not revealed his identity, it is most likely that he is a native writer of the island nation. Xiao Su continued, "The nomination of the Yokozo Masashi Award focuses so much on local writers, first of all, because the Yokogou Masashi Award has just changed from an island country detective award to a world detective award in the past two years, although it has a high status in the island country, it is not very well-known in the world. But among them, the xenophobia of readers in island countries is also very serious!"
