"I was originally a super popular newcomer writer full of confidence, but the sales of my works died like this, as the editor-in-charge, don't you go to comfort and encourage me? It's irresponsible. Kotaro Ohira said with a smile.
"This thing...... There is no need for encouragement in the first place. Sugi Chiya hesitated for a moment, but still said.
"Why?" Kotaro Ohira asked.
"No encouragement, no encouragement." Sugi Chiya said as a matter of course: "As a writer, you must have the consciousness of a writer, if you don't even have this awareness, what kind of novel do you write?" What other great stories can be brought? ”
"Ha......" Kotaro Ohira was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "It's really good for you to say this, but you just stand and talk without backache, do you really know the pain of being a work full of confidence, but no one cares about it after it is released?" ”
Kotaro Ohira was a light novel writer before, and then he became an editor because he had the opportunity. And Akaya Sugi has never been a writer.
"I don't know." Sugi Chiya hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"It's a painful feeling." Kotaro Ohira said: "Moreover, the novel "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" has basically been scrapped, and the sales of more than 700 copies on the first day, the penultimate sales, if nothing else, it is impossible to publish a second volume. A roll of slashing ...... Haha, this is really cruel, it seems that in the future, if this blue-and-white thorn teacher wants to publish a single book, it is very impossible. ”
Hearing this, Sugi Chi couldn't help but be silent.
Kotaro Ohira continued: "Originally, everyone was optimistic about the work, but it turned out to be like this, I can only say that the feedback from the market is sometimes so ruthless, and newcomers want to get ahead, but it is definitely not so easy." ”
"Not necessarily." Sugi Akaya suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Kotaro Ohira is a little unclear.
"Although the sales of "The Melancholy of Haruhi in the Cool Palace" on the first day were very poor, there are too many other reasons, and I think there is still a chance to rise, and it is not so simple to completely wipe out everyone." Akata Sugi said.
"Huh? What did you say? Do you think "The Melancholy of Spring in the Cool Palace" will suddenly sell like crazy? Kotaro Ohira said with some amusement.
"Yes." Akata Sugi said.
"You...... The law of the industry,Basically, the first day sells the most.,The next sales are getting less and less.,Unless there is such a situation as animation,,There can be no exception.,"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" has failed.,It's a failed work.,It's already a doomed thing.,How can it still be alive? Kotaro Ohira pouted and said.
"Why can't it be?" Sugi Chiya asked rhetorically.
"What is impossible, it's a matter of course, okay." Kotaro Ohira said a little speechlessly.
"How about we make a bet?" Sugi Chiya said suddenly.
"Make a bet?" Kotaro Ohira asked, "What bet?" ”
"I'm betting on whether "Haruhi Cool Palace" can sell out the 50,000 copies of the single book within three months." Akata Sugi said.
Kotaro Ohira's eyes lit up and he asked, "Bet on what?" ”
"Bet on a month's worth of food." Akata Sugi said.
"Haha! Good! I'll bet with you! Don't regret it! Kotaro Ohira said with a smile, looking like the outcome had been decided: "Let you learn another lesson, let you know how accurate the vision of the former best-selling novelist is!" ”
"You're not a best-selling novelist, are you?" Shanmu Chi couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, hey!"
………………
Ye Su didn't know that his sales were sluggish, which made his editor make a bet with one of the other editors.
At this time, he really has some egg pain!
Although the sales are big on the street, the sales of 20,000 copies of a single book also have a royalty income of more than 3 million, which is a huge amount of money for any new writer!
But the manuscript fee is the manuscript fee, and the fact that it hits the street is still in front of you.
Some people may say that it is hypocritical, the manuscript fee of more than 3 million is available, what is there to be dissatisfied?
How many newcomers don't even have the opportunity to publish.
But Ye Su's original goal was very high, and now he suddenly fell down like this, which was not an ordinary discomfort.
The manuscript fee of more than 3 million can only be said to be a consolation.
In addition, something happened that made him very helpless......
I still remember a month ago, he tweeted like this-
[Blue and White Thorn: I stepped into the world of light novels with my debut novel Haruhi Suzumiya, and there is no doubt that I am a newcomer among newcomers, and any predecessor who has ever published it should be honored and called a predecessor - at least before that, I thought so.
However, there are certain things that are happening today that make me particularly disdainful, it is true that there is no perfect novel in the world, and it is impossible to satisfy all readers, and I understand this, I only need to write for the readers who like me, and what does it matter to me if I don't like it?
But I didn't expect that some light novel writers would openly criticize me on Twitter, question me, and think that my grades are watery, which is really funny, and such doubts are even more nonsense!
In that case, I don't need to treat you as seniors, IMHO, I'm not targeting any one person, I mean, everyone in this room is rubbish! 】
At that time, Ye Su was completely annoyed, so naturally he didn't care about the consequences, and directly began to talk and angrily spray those writers, which completely annoyed those old authors!
In the next battle, the two sides fought, and there was nothing superior, and Ye Su's rising online order was a good counterattack - it was a victory in this online scolding war.
But now that physical sales have begun, the results are so poor, which naturally makes a few old authors who had a grudge jump out again!
"The results of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" have no moisture? Now it seems that this is the biggest joke! ”
"Jealous of the scheduled numbers for "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"? Now that it's officially on sale, the results are out, who's the biggest joke? ”
"Someone's work, on the first day of Golden Week, is the penultimate in sales! I really laughed at it! Sure enough, I said, how can there really be so many reservations? It's not all fake grades! It is the result of adding stunts! ”
"Sales first...... It's amazing, but it's the penultimate one. It's a pity, it's just a word difference from the number one! ”
In the face of many ridicules, Ye Su wanted to spray back, but the truth was so cruel that he didn't have such a mind.
"Brother, are you alright?" Xiao Bury watched Ye Su stay in front of the computer in a daze, his face was a little gloomy, and he couldn't help but ask worriedly.
