3 million in a single book, what is the goal?

Although the market for light novels is good, not much worse than the market for traditional novels, the number of three million single copies sold has really never appeared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI'm afraid that only those comics with a larger audience, easier content, and more suitable reading can achieve this goal, right?

As far as light novels are concerned, let alone three million, a single book can have a million, then it can be called a super-god work!

So, when Ye Su said this goal, the editors were surprised, but they were also able to laugh it off, thinking that it was just a joke. Setting a goal that can never be achieved is just an attitude. If you think about it, you can be relieved and understood.

"That's a scary target!"

"But in that case, there will be no problem."

"It's not a new serial, but if it's just a single article, then there's no problem."

"It's a good idea, even if someone is dissatisfied, nothing will happen."

"If this news is announced, I am afraid that there will be a large number of emotions immediately...... With the talent of the blue and white thorn teacher, the new book must be very good-looking, not inferior to the previous two books at all, and there will definitely be some fans. But these fans, seeing such a goal, can continue to serialize, I'm afraid they will want to cry without tears. ”

"Haha, that's true, I can already imagine the helpless faces of those readers! As a fan of Mr. Blue and White Thorn, it is really a happy and painful thing! ”

………………

The editors don't think that Ye Suding's goal is serious.

In fact, even Ye Su felt that this goal was a bit mysterious, but he didn't think that there was no possibility, on the contrary, there were still many possibilities.

With the popularity of Ye Su now, as well as the popularity of this novel in his previous life, coupled with the light novel market in this world, it is so good, so three million copies is not an unattainable myth in the eyes of editors, and there is still a chance.

Before that, it was true that there was no light novel that could achieve such a feat as three million copies of a single book, but this does not mean that Ye Su had no way to achieve it.

Miracles, legends, often have to be created by a person, so that they can be called miracles, called legends, and others can't achieve it, it doesn't mean that Ye Su can't do it.

Ye Su's proposal made Shanmu Chiya think about it for a while, and soon nodded, typing and saying: "In this case, there is no problem at all, but this goal is really a bit exaggerated, I think that one million copies is a good target number - if it can really reach one million sales of a single book, it can be continued to be serialized." ”

Qinghuathorn: "But, didn't you just say that you didn't suggest that I open three novels and open a third novel?" ”

Ye Su's question made Shanmu Chi a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he still typed and said: "However, if there is a single million sales, it is another matter, and the light novel that can reach this number, if it is not continued, it will be a great loss for you, the teacher, the publishing house, and even for those readers." Compared with the single book of three million, the goal of a single million is more reasonable, and if this number can really be achieved, it doesn't matter if the teacher opens three times. Although it may arouse the disgust of some readers, as long as it is moderately promoted, it will inevitably not become a good story! ”

Shanmu Chi also sent a long message over, and it was obvious that he had seriously thought about Ye Su's new book, and he had thought about it from Ye Su's point of view. As a responsible editor, this is a rare achievement. It's not like the editors standing next to him and watching, it's just just watching the show.

A responsible editor, the position is very delicate, he is the editor of the publishing house, but he is also the responsible editor of the teacher, he must stand not only from the perspective of the publishing house, but also from the perspective of the author, sometimes, it is inevitable to be biased, after all, even if it is an editor, he is just a mere human being, not a god, and cannot be perfect.

However, some responsible editors are still rare, and they are also sincerely for the good of the author. For example, at this time, what Sugi Akaya said made a lot of sense.

It's just that Ye Su doesn't think so, although he also understands that Shanmu Chi is also very responsible for himself, but after thinking about it, the strength of the three openings is not something that ordinary humans can bear, plus he still has to continue on the road of singing, even if he doesn't continue to go to school, it is still very, very hard. In addition, Ye Su's goal before was to animate his novel, and now Haruhi Suzumiya is about to start animating, although it is a little embarrassing and a little helpless, but it is also a good thing, Ye Su does not have to rush to Sankai at all.

Therefore, Ye Su still thinks that it is better to set the target at three million copies, if it is one million copies, wouldn't it be broken in an instant? And then enter the hard road of three openings?

In the eyes of Akaya Sugi and several other editors, one million copies was already a rather terrifying goal, but in Ye Su's eyes, it was an easy difficulty.

Ye Su quickly replied: "No, the goal is still set at three million copies, if it is set at one million, it will be broken in an instant, then I will have to work very hard to open three copies, so the goal is still three million copies, so it was decided!" I'll send you the manuscript. ”

Ye Su, or the words of Teacher Qinghuathorn, made Shanmu Chi stunned for a moment, and also made some editors who were watching the two chatting next to him stunned for a moment.

"This ......"

“…… Teacher Qinghuathorn is so confident. ”

"A million copies, it will be broken in an instant, Mr. Qinghuathorn, I am so confident in this new book!"

"This tone! Tsk,I didn't put the goal of a single book of one million books in my eyes at all.。 ”

"To be honest, I've seen a lot of confident and even conceited writers, but I've never seen them before, like Mr. Qinghuathorn, such a confident or conceited writer!"

"But that's a good thing, isn't it?"

"A good thing is a good thing, but there is a saying that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, if the results of this new book are not good, Mr. Ye Su's mentality is estimated to completely explode in an instant."

"That's a real problem!"

Shanmu Chi was also stunned for a long time, and couldn't help frowning, unlike other editors, he understood that Teacher Blue and White Thorn, or rather, Teacher Ye Su, was not the kind of person who liked to be untargeted.

As the responsible editor of Ye Su, Shanmu Chi has been getting along for half a year, and he still has a certain degree of understanding of Ye Su and Shanmu Chi. As the editor in charge, such a position that often has to be in contact with people, so that Sugi Chiya can see people's personalities very accurately.

Some of the editors next to him have never dealt with Teacher Ye Su and don't understand the character of this teacher. But he understands that if Mr. Ye Su didn't really have the kind of confidence that he really did, he wouldn't have said such things.

However, where can I be sure that his new book can sell so well?

To be honest, Sugi Chi was also a little puzzled. This also made him curious, curious about how good Mr. Ye Su's new book is? ‘

At this moment, there was a 'ding' sound, and a new email came, which was an email from Mr. Qinghuathorn.

Accompanying the email, of course, was his new book.

Originally, Ye Su was going to talk to Sugi Chiya face-to-face, but at this time, he was in a bit of a hurry, and he could only pass the documents to him through the Internet.

Sugi Chiya looked at the name of the email, the new book "The Tale of Transformation", and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

Is the name of the new book called Avatar?

In Japan, Kamonogatari means a monster, or a strange story.

What kind of story is a weird story? Sugi Chiya groaned like this, and he couldn't wait to open this novel.

………………

After sending the new book to Sugi Chiya, Ye Su was not like an ordinary writer, he was extremely worried, he didn't know what the editor said about him, and he didn't know if this novel could become popular.

His confidence in this novel far exceeds that of the first two.

The story of the Tale series is also Ye Su's favorite series of stories.

All kinds of peculiar elements, all kinds of characters with distinct personalities, all kinds of fancy methods of complaining.

There is a groundbreaking perverted plot such as brushing teeth play in the back, which is very interesting when you think about it!

Ye Su opened Twitter, he hadn't logged into his Twitter for a while, there were many people on it, and there were many people who privately messaged him.

He didn't click on the messages and private messages, because all he had to do now was announce the news of the new book.

After thinking about it, Ye Su released such a message.

[Blue and white thorn: Long time no see, I'm blue and white thorn! ]

I haven't tweeted for a long time, and now that I'm logged in, there are two main things.

The first thing is that my novel "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" is already going to be animated!

The company that makes the animation is KyoAni, and KyoAni is still very reliable, so I'm still very relieved that there will be no problems with the animation adaptation of Suzumiya.

In fact, the animation is the Suzumiya Haruhi series.,Not only the melancholy of the first volume of Suzumiya Haruhi.,It's just the name of the first volume.,Take down the name!

Another thing is that I recently wrote a single story, which has been handed over to the editor, and will be presented to you soon in the form of a single book. What can be revealed is that the name of this single novel, called "The Tale of Avatars", is my absolute confidence in the work, no less than my first two novels. I hope you enjoy this novel. Because it was originally a single story, the possibility of a sequel was very small.

But if it reaches three million copies sold in a single copy, it doesn't matter if there is a sequel.

Such a goal seems impossible to achieve, because there has never been a single light novel with more than 3 million copies, and no one has broken this record so far. However, for my book, I feel that I still have some hope of breaking this record.

That's all there is to say. I hope you will continue to support me, thank you very much! 】

After the editing was completed, Ye Su sent the message out.

Soon, it was like a stone smashed into the calm mirror-like lake, instantly stirring up countless ripples.

The originally peaceful day, because of Ye Su's tweet, became a little uncalm.

At this point, Ye Su himself didn't expect that he hadn't been online for so many days, and he thought that there was not much attention left, but he didn't expect that he was still being followed by many people.

The moment Ye Su's tweet message was sent, there were hundreds of replies.

Ye Su briefly glanced at these replies.

Among them, Ye Su's book fans are naturally very happy.

First, I can see the animation of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is still a more reliable KyoAni production.

Second, I can see Ye Su's very confident light novel single! "The Tale of Things", I really don't know, what kind of story is it?

Of course, some fans said, when will the Headless Horseman's Persona be able to be animated? Compared to the animation of Haruhi Suzumiya, they are looking forward to it even more, and the animation of the Headless Horseman is there!

There are also Ye Su's fans who expressed their hope that Ye Su can sing the op and ed of Suzumiya Haruhi.

There are also some readers who are more familiar with the light novel market, and they expressed their amazement at Ye Su's goal of three million!

This is a number that has never appeared in the history of light novels, but Ye Su wants to make history, how domineering is this?

They all said that they would buy Ye Su's latest single novel, and also buy three copies, one for collection, one for reading, and one for preaching.

And Ye Su's long tweet message was also reposted by some people to other places.

2ch forum, Yahoo Japan discussion board, and LINE's author group.

Many people started to discuss Ye Su's tweet, which seemed very lively.

Even the author group of Ye Su's publishing house has such a discussion.

Some people think that the blue-and-white thorn teacher is very ambitious and very handsome, but some people think that the blue-and-white thorn is very arrogant and too conceited, so there is no good end, and some people say that as a writer, he has confidence in his novels, which is the most important thing.

For Ye Su's history-making tone, in fact, many authors are not optimistic, although they sigh on the surface, but they can't help but ridicule in private.

It's like—"This blue-and-white thorn is really too arrogant." ”

"After writing two good novels, I don't know who I am!"

"This new book will hit the street 100%!"

"No matter what, I admire the courage to poison myself like this before opening the book, but I still feel that there is no good end."

"Three million, that's three million. Be a little too confident! ”

Such and such remarks are very common.

This is nothing more than a kind of contempt for literati, and it is a normal state of mind for human nature.

After all, Ye Su has only debuted for half a year, and many light novel writers who have written for four or five years, or even longer, have not sold as many copies as he has sold in half a year. (To be continued.) )
