Chapter 454: Pride
"Really? That's true...... It's just wonderful. Tonight, you'll have a treat. Treat me to a big dish. Xiuyi, is the first print of your single book 3,000 copies, or 5,000 copies? Although I have this thought prepared in my heart, I still can't help but be jealous of Yumi Oshima from the bottom of my heart, and it is not surprising that Shuichi Minamino will publish his debut novel as a student, officially debut, and set foot in the literary world, after all, his teacher is Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke, a national writer who everyone knows and everyone knows.
Nanno Shuichi, who told her the good news first, was naturally excited in her heart. He held the mobile phone attached to his left ear in his left hand, and he still held the preface written by the teacher for himself in his right hand, and said happily: "Ten thousand copies." ”
"Ten thousand?" Yumi Oshima repeated it over and over again is simply unbelievable. At first, I thought that she had heard it wrong, and she didn't know that the official debut of a rookie writer was nothing more than a first print run of three or five thousand copies. If the publisher gives 10,000 copies for the first printing, it is enough to show that it attaches great importance to it, strongly recommends it, and is very optimistic about the quality of the author and the work itself, and the content of the book is quite in line with the current popularity of the market...... The chance of an instant hit is a high multiplier.
"Yes, that's right, the first printing of 10,000 copies. The teacher personally told me. He said that Miyuki's official debut was the first printing of the book "My Dad" with 10,000 copies, and I, as his only disciple at present, should also make my official debut with 10,000 copies. Of course, Yiqiē is based on the fact that I wrote this novella and was still recognized by the teacher. At the moment, I am most worried about whether readers will buy my single book once it is released. The tone of the pride and pride of the Minamino Shuichi, who has worked hard for many years, finally has a certain report.
"Then I really should congratulate you. Since our National University writer has written a preface for you, it means that Mr. has helped you onto the horse. Even if it can't be an instant hit, it won't be so bad that it won't sell the book. What else do you have to worry about? Yumi Oshima, who looked depressed, looked at the ceiling, and didn't know how long she would have to endure before she could make her official debut in the literary world like Shuichi Minamino. She doesn't expect to print 10,000 copies for the first time. Even if it is a minimum print of 800 copies, it is completely acceptable.
"Yumi, I don't give you (2) dǐng (2) diǎn (2) small (2) say, .2↓3.o∞s_ (); Say more. You're waiting for me at home. At around seven o'clock in the evening, I will personally pick you up for a big meal. I'll hang up first. Shuichi Minamino, who walked to the bus stop, stopped. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. I was going to rush back to school to get the original manuscripts, and then I went to the Mustard Press to hand them in as well. As for the rest of the work, it is to wait for the sample book to come out and so on to cooperate with the publisher to promote his new book.
Shuichi Minamino, who didn't put his phone in his left pants pocket, needed to let his family know in addition to telling his favorite Yumi Oshima the good news. So, I swiped the phone screen with my index finger, flipped to my mother's phone number, and dialed it directly. After waiting for the other side to connect, he said happily: "Mom, I have good news for you." You're going to have to stand firm. Not only will I be a writer soon, but my first one-book book will be released soon. ”
Hanazu Kudo, who was still working at the Hinata Hotel, was stunned for a moment when she received a call from her son, and then asked in disbelief, "Shuichi, is what you just said true?" I'm not trying to make my mother happy! ”
"Absolutely. The teacher not only wrote a new preface for me, but also asked me to quickly submit the original manuscript and the preface to the Mustard Publishing House, so that they could officially publish it for me. That's 10,000 copies! Probably, perhaps, it should be...... Anyway, you can't go wrong. I can definitely buy my books in the large book diǎn in my hometown of Kyoto. Shuichi Minamino, who was in a good mood like a spring breeze, had a smile on his face full of confidence.
"Son, my mother's own son, my mother's good son, I am extremely proud of you. In a while, I'll tell your dad about this great news. Not only that, but I will also tell all our relatives, neighbors, and everyone I know. My own son Hanazu Kudo, Shuichi Minamino, is a writer. By the way, as for your sister, you can tell her in person! Kudo Hanazu, whose face was dancing with joy, was a stupid son who was not even optimistic about himself before, but he became the pride of their family and family.
Shuichi Minamino, who responded to the word "oh" on his mouth, muttered in his heart. If I tell my sister about this, I'm afraid I will be blackmailed by her again. Anyway, his nemesis in this life is Yumi Oshima and his own sister. Both women have one thing in common, that is, they like to cry poor in front of him.
Nanno Shuichi, who couldn't see them crying poorly, softened his heart, and he was beaten by him again with meat buns and dogs, and he borrowed it without returning. However, he doesn't care about these lots, what he values most is the relationship between people, not worldly money. Even if you have a hard time, you don't want to see the people close to you suffer.
It would be better to invite my sister to have a big meal, so naturally it will not be arranged tonight, after all, I need to have a romantic candlelight dinner with my loved Yumi Oshima alone. When you think about it, you feel that he is extremely sweet, and he has a small pride in both career and love.
Kudo Hanazu, who finished talking to his son, instantly became a sister-in-law of Xianglin's nagging. She said when she met people that her son Shuichi Minamino was not only going to become a writer, but also going to publish a book. The word "pride" was also written on her face. Once I meet a friend who has a good relationship, Kudo Hanazu will deliberately add a sentence "When the time comes, I will give you a book signed by our family Shuichi".
She smiled from ear to ear, and was so happy that she forgot for a while about calling her husband to report the good news, and she was completely immersed in the illusion she had created for herself, which was the result of her teaching her son. If it weren't for her diligent supervision of her son, there would be no such achievements and excellence as he is today.
Once this is excited, Kudo Hanazu, even if he is old, he begins to talk like a young man. Even the words that Shuichi Minamino, who has been grabbing things since he was a child, were the first to catch the pen, and the words that he was destined to become a writer were all said by her adaptation. In fact, Shuichi Minamino didn't catch a pen at that time, but grabbed the orange peel next to it. (To be continued.) )
