On the second day of Golden Week, many of the editors in the editorial department of Kadokawa Bunko were on holiday as usual, just like other professions.

This time period is a critical moment for writers, who are very nervous and nervous, looking forward to their works being able to sell well. And for the editors, it is also a critical time.

Although there is no "commission", as long as the qualifications come up, become the editor-in-chief, and go all the way, it is naturally not too easy.

In fact, many editors don't have much intention of going up, and editors join this industry just out of pure love, which is their dream.

Editors' salaries are not that high, and the hours they work are often reversed, not to mention overtime, which is even more troublesome if you run into writers who are not willing to submit their manuscripts on time.

So being an editor is not an easy task, but for those editors, they have no complaints.

If it weren't for the love, they wouldn't be an editor.

After becoming editors, of course, they also pay attention to the achievements of their authors from time to time, because they have nothing to do on vacation, and they naturally have more time to pay attention to various gossip.

Many editors are looking forward to their writers getting off to a good start on the first day of Golden Week. However, sales are high and low, some people are happy and some people are worried, and when the results appear, some people are destined to be disappointed.

For editors, if a writer's grades are good, his work sells well, hundreds of thousands of sales, or even millions of sales, although he doesn't have a dime, the sense of honor is common, and the excitement is very real.

People who are not editors may not be able to understand this situation, but these editors are accustomed to it.

Ye Su's editor in charge is Akaya Sugi, and during this year's Golden Week, two of the teachers he is in charge of will be sold during Golden Week.

One is a powerful veteran author, and the sales of the eighth volume of "If Youth Is No Longer Youth" have sold a total of 2.5 million copies.

Seven volumes in two years,Sold out 2.5 million copies,Even if it's a library book,It's a very, very good result.,Recently, "If Youth Is No More Youth" is the news of the animation company.,Ready to animate it.,In addition,"If Youth is no longer youthful" The comic version is also selling very well.,The single book has exceeded 500,000 copies.,Sales in all aspects,It can be described as a thriving business.,If the animated version of "If Youth is no longer young" comes out, there is no doubt that sales will skyrocket instantly. In all aspects, there will be an essential improvement.

It has been four months since the last volume, the seventh volume of "If Youth Is No Longer Youthful", and the eighth volume has been launched after such a long time, and many people are looking forward to this work, and the market response has been very good. Don't worry about sales at all.

And the other book,It's the newcomer writer Blue and White Thorn's "The Melancholy of the Spring of the Cool Palace.,100% of the new person debuted in the Blue and White Thorn teacher.,There is no popularity base.,This is also a point that Sugi Chiya is worried about.,Although the results of the previous online booking are very good.,But in his opinion, the better the results of the online booking.,The more potential for overdraft.。 It's okay if it's in normal times, but now it's on sale during Golden Week, and if it doesn't attract a certain amount of attention, the work is likely to be wiped out!

For a while, Shanmu Chi also regretted arranging to the company to sell "The Melancholy of Spring in the Cool Palace" during this time period, if it is not sold in this time period, it will be 100% more popular!

The original decision was a bit hasty, blindly believing in this novel, and the popularity of the novel at that time also made him make this judgment - there is no problem at all during Golden Week, but he didn't expect that readers like the new and hate the old, and a month ago they still favored the good works, and a month later, after the birth and sales, there may not be good results. And now it's Golden Week with lots of new books.

Sale...... Probably won't be too good.

Sure enough, on the second day of Golden Week, Sugi Chiya got the news.

The sales volume of "If Youth Is No Longer Youth" is 9,100 copies.

And "The Melancholy of Haruhi in the Cool Palace" only has a pitiful seven hundred and thirty copies!

Seven hundred and thirty copies!

There are only three digits.

Such a result undoubtedly made Sugi Chiya stunned for a long time, and he really didn't expect that although he understood that the score of this book would not be too good, he really didn't expect that it would be so bad......

It's so bad!!

Shanmu Chi is also a little uneasy, the original expectation, no matter how bad it is, there are three or four thousand copies, which is not too violent death, but now there is only so much, which is a little unacceptable.

He couldn't help but be a little worried, Teacher Qinghua must have been very hit, right? But the potential of this novel should definitely not be like this! As an editor, he has his vision!

At this time, Sugi Akaya's phone rang.

Sugi Akaya glanced at the phone, and it was the phone number of Kotaro Ohira, who was also the editor in charge and a good friend.

"Taro, what are you calling me for?" Sugi Chiya answered the phone and asked.

"Have you seen the sales list? I'm in charge of Mr. Otono's "I Have No Friends" is the first in the sales list.,Even though it's the first sales of the library.,It's only the first day.,But it's already amazing.,It's really worthy of Mr. Otono.! Kotaro Ohira said with a grin.

"Hah...... I saw it.,But the popularity of the following two teachers is not comparable to the popularity of Mr. Otono.,The first is just today, right? Sugi Chiya shook his head and said.

"That's pretty good, too!" Kotaro Ohira said.

"Yes, yes, it's amazing." Sugi Chiya said perfunctorily.

"It's really perfunctory, I also read the results of the teacher you are responsible for, if the results of "Youth is No Longer Youth" are very good, but the sales of "Melancholy" by the blue and white thorn teacher are really "Melancholy". Kotaro Ohira said suddenly.

"Yes, that's also something that can't be helped, I'm too hasty, I shouldn't have arranged for the blue and white thorn teacher who doesn't have any popularity foundation to be sold in Golden Week. It was a mistake in my judgment. Shanmu Chi also said helplessly.

"Ha, it's rare for you to admit your mistakes!" Kotaro Ohira said with some surprise.

"There's no way around it." Akata Sugi said.

"Have you gone to comfort Mr. Bluethorn?" Kotaro Ohira asked.

"Nope." Akata Sugi said.

"Why?" Kotaro Ohira was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking.
