Chapter 229. Want to make history? (8000 words)
Tsukasa Higashino sank down and prepared for "Unnatural Death" to sprint to two million copies of the book, and did not continue to be distracted to read "Lemon".
After all, pop music is at most a side hustle of his side business, and it can't be compared with the main business of comics.
It's just that what Higashino didn't expect was-
Oura Yukie really bombarded him, and the intensity was not light.
Although she was only a guest on a radio show to bombard Tsukasa Higashino.
"In this way, Oura-san thinks that Higashino-sensei is not qualified enough as a professional singer, right?"
"At least it shouldn't be over-touted like many music magazines." Oura Yukie said with a smile, "We all saw the fire of "Lemon", and we also know that Higashino-sensei is indeed very talented... But with just one original song, he was touted as a national composer and national singer... That's too much. ”
She said that, but it was fine.
There are no golden songs or national singers in the world, and there is only one work.
She then added: "I'm also a fan of 'Lemon' and I love the song 'Lemon'... But behind the liking, we also have to look at "Lemon" and Mr. Higashino more clearly and rationally... After all, Mr. Higashino only has this one work, and if you praise it too much, you will be killed. ”
She said all of these things in a very organized manner, as if she was thinking about "Lemon" and Tsukasa Higashino.
As for why Oura Yukie appeared here to bombard Tsukasa Higashino - it's because she can't hold it back.
As mentioned earlier, Oura Yukie is a singer with low eyes, and she has ridiculed her predecessors on TV shows before, so she naturally doesn't want to be sulky... She is also a popular young singer, why do you only watch Tsukasa Higashino? And the matter of snubbing Tsukasa Higashino a month or two ago is still coming out... Isn't that a bit excessive?
"So what evaluation does Oura-san actually think the song "Lemon" can actually deserve?"
"It's a very good song." Oura Yukie smiled, looking like an old man in the music world: "This is indeed a very good song, but if you continue to tout it, tout the platinum song of the young generation... That's a bit hilarious. It is expected that "Lemon" will quickly squeeze into the first place on the distribution list this time, but it should not be long before it falls from the first place. ”
"Oh? Is Oura-san so confident in this? ”
The host was a little surprised.
Oura Yukie's attitude was too affirmative, and it was a little difficult for her to answer.
"Of course." Oura Yukie nodded without hesitation: "Listeners should also know that I am also a person on the distribution list, and I have this experience, so I can naturally be sure." ”
"So what does Oura-san say about Higashino-sensei?" The moderator hesitated for a moment and asked.
"It's a good comic book author.,But as a singer is still a little too immature.,A song can't support a singer.,If Mr. Higashino wants to enter the music industry,It's best to do more homework.,The miracle of the song "Lemon" is not so easy to copy.,After all, "Unnatural Death" is only one... Higashino-sensei can't write the theme song of "Unnatural Death" anymore, right? ”
She said that the popularity of "Lemon" was due to the popularity of "Unnatural Death", and secretly said that the big reason why "Lemon" became popular was because of the luck of Tsukasa Higashino, which is a miracle in itself, and it is very difficult for Tsukasa Higashino to create a miracle again.
Then the host communicated with Oura Yukie for a while.
The main question revolves around Tsukasa Higashino's interview with NHK a few days ago.
In this regard, Oura Yukie is naturally very envious, she has never received an interview with NHK as a singer, but she didn't expect Tsukasa Higashino, a singer who faked a song, to enter the NHK interview instead.
Envy... Really envious.
She chattered a lot, mainly because she wanted Tsukasa Higashino to concentrate on his creation, and not to increase the exposure of his works by provoking sympathy.
To be honest, Tsukasa Higashino was quite strange when he heard these things.
No... What kind of demon is this Oura Yukie?
Isn't this too iron?
In this radio show, she seems to be saying good things on the surface, but in fact, if the lines are summed up, they are secretly poking and prodding, "Tsukasa Higashino is not good, the song "Lemon" is not good'.
The radio transmission rate in this era is quite good.
Oura Yukie's words quickly spread to the Internet and set off a lot of discussions.
Naturally, some people agree with Oura Yukie's remarks.
After all, as she said, Tsukasa Higashino is indeed just a manga author, but a song that is hot doesn't mean anything.
And some people agree that there are naturally some who oppose it, they think that Oura Yukie simply can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and seeing that "Lemon" kicked himself off the distribution list and was about to win the Zhou crown, so they jumped out and said, "But that's it".
The strong lemon sour smell is something that can be smelled by anyone.
There are also particularly talented netizens who also found a photo of Oura Yukie, and turned her eyes into two lemon covers of "Lemon", with a line of words 'but so' underneath.
This spoof picture is hilarious, and Higashino Division is also happy to spend money, and I think the majority of sand sculpture netizens are still very talented, and even this kind of P picture can be thought of.
Oura Yukie's fans scuffled with "Lemon" fans on the Internet because of this picture.
In the end, Oura Yukie's fans said let's wait and see, "Lemon" will fall off the weekly chart soon, and it will last for a week... No, it's safe for two weeks. It's about to fall off the weekly charts!
They are still very confident in Oura Yukie's prediction, and they think that this kind of young popular singer predicts a matching list, isn't it a casual prediction?
Can she be wrong with the standard answer?
The fans of "Lemon" are also red-eyed, and the cloak says that "Lemon" is about to kill crazy on the distribution list, and no one can stop it, let's kill one by one, and kill one by one! This song is going for the crown of the year!
They are fighting on the Internet, and Konoe Lianghua and they are not idle.
Led by Yumi Takahashi, the three of them began to go to major music forums to promote "Lemon", and only the golden song "Lemon" was blown in the sky and on the earth.
"This Oura Yukie is inevitably too much." Listening to the radio recording again, Yumi Takahashi was so angry that she snorted through her nose.
Konoe Lianghua didn't speak, but she also frowned, thinking that this person was a little inexplicable, why did he catch Higashino Tsukasa and fire?
In fact, it is normal for the media to praise singers or actors in Japan, and they happen once in a thousand years or once in 10,000 years.
But if there is a problem with the singer and actor, they will scold it vigorously, and they can't wait to bring the eighteen generations of your entire family with them.
Because of this, Ryoka Konoe doesn't think there's anything wrong with the media touting Tsukasa Higashino - start blowing, and spray later... Isn't that just the normal process?
"Higashino-san, aren't you angry?" Fujiwara Aoi looked at Tsukasa Higashino and couldn't help but ask.
Because in her gaze, Higashino Tsukasa still has that smiling look.
Higashino Tsukasa was too calm, and he couldn't see any anger or annoyance at all.
"The problem is that it's useless to be angry." Higashino Tsukasa shook his head with a smile: "Besides, this is a trivial matter... I can't say I don't care, but my most critical focus right now is on Unnatural Death. ”
"Unnatural Death" will be released the day after tomorrow, and everything over there is so busy that I'm going to die, how can Tsukasa Higashino be in the mood to care about Oura Yukie?
This person is a madman, and then I will clean her up, and the main thing now is to deal with the matter of "Unnatural Death".
"I'm sure I'll have three books to support it!" Yumi Takahashi raised her palm without hesitation.
The single book of "Unnatural Death" is only 400 yen, and the three books are only 1,200 yen, which is not a big burden for her.
"Then thank you Takahashi-san in advance." Tsukasa Higashino nodded, then looked at Chihaya Higashino, who was listening to "Lemon" on the other side.
"Lemon" is probably Chihaya Higashino's favorite song.
She doesn't seem to be able to live without Lemon now...
Was it this song that caused irritation to Chihaya Higashino?
Or is it because the lyrics bring excitement to Chihaya Higashino?
Tsukasa Higashino pinched his chin in thought.
Chihaya Higashino is now behaving a little abnormally... Is it a sign that she is about to find herself?
Do you want to find a few more good tunes for Higashino Chihaya to listen to? See if she can give me any more feedback?
Higashino thought for a while, but finally gave up.
After all, no one can explain or understand these things in mind and psychology.
If only it were that simple, just listening to two songs would cure Chihaya Higashino's illness.
Tsukasa Higashino threw away distractions and devoted himself to the preparations for the sale of the fourth volume of Unnatural Death.
Time flies, especially when you're thinking about what to do.
"Unnatural Death" Volume 4 Single Book Release Date!
This is a special day not only for Tsukasa Higashino, but also for all manga magazine publishers in the industry.
The editors of Rock Point Press and Mozhu Bookstore were quiet, and they both knew that "Unnatural Death" was going to make a desperate bet and sell two million copies today.
That's the ceiling of Japanese manga sales, and it's something that can witness the history of Japanese manga.
If Higashino succeeds in the sprint... Then it's not a question of the author of the pillars ... It is entirely possible to say that Tsukasa Higashino is a giant of Urashima Publishing House.
And also the only giant author.
If they could, they would have liked it their own authors to cut off the reputation.
"Higashino-sensei is amazing."
Ozawada couldn't help but say.
When the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award was presented, Ozawada, the author of the first pillar manga of Iwakaku Publishing House, never imagined that Tsukasa Higashino would come to such a point.
Originally, he thought that the worst case scenario would be that he and Sakamoto of Mozuki Bookstore tried their best to deal with Tsukasa Higashino...
As a result, to now... Sakamoto's manga has been sacrificed to the sky, and it is still in the process of sealing the pen.
Although his manga can be regarded as an excellent achievement, he is not at all the opponent of Tsukasa Higashino's 1.5 million volume sales in the public credit list, and he has no power to resist when he is pressed under him.
Now Higashino is about to hit the average sales of two million volumes.
"If it succeeds, the theme of the Japanese manga market will definitely change."
At a time when "Unnatural Death" sold 1.5 million copies, there were many themes in the Japanese manga market.
But following the trend, there are still many old comic authors who are unwilling to test the waters, or live by robot comics, and the water in the Japanese comics market can only be said to be muddy, but it has not yet reached the point where everyone cooks dumplings together.
But the sales of two million volumes are different, which is the ceiling of comic sales, which is equivalent to the vane of the comic market.
That's good, too.
Ozawada is indeed a little tired of the current backwater Japanese manga market.
It's the ceiling that made the Higashino sprint by himself... This made Ozawada couldn't help coughing several times, expressing helplessness.
At that time, he didn't know that Higashino Tsukasa, a junior, was so powerful.
You must know that the other party has been drawing comics for a year and a half, and as a result, he killed all the old people and lost their ashes.
On the other hand, Fuji Press, which has always been neutral, was also neutral this time.
Furuta Shinji has been praying that Higashino will not rush to the point of selling two million volumes.
If they really rush to Tsukasa Higashino, their Fuji Publishing House will only be able to live in the shadow of Tsukasa Higashino.
After all, Fuji Press's "Trembling" is also a horror magazine manga, and there is a reader conflict with "Bad Cold".
The rise of "Bad Cold" is not very friendly to Fuji Press.
"Hey, my hair is gone."
Furuta Shinji sighed deeply and touched his head, which was already shimmering.
He had good hair more than half a year ago.
Now it's sparse and sparse, and all of them were shocked by Higashino Division, and all of them were gone as soon as he grabbed his palm.
Even Suzuki Yu, who has always cared little about the sales of manga, has paid attention to the sales of "Unnatural Death".
Two million rolls sold...
Suzuki took a deep breath.
She was really unwilling.
I could see the shadow of Tsukasa Higashino before... Now I can't even seem to catch the shadow of Tsukasa Higashino...
"My next manga must break through the average of 1 million volumes and march towards the average of 2 million volumes!"
Suzuki Yu thought so to himself.
In the more or less concerned part of these people.
The fourth volume of "Unnatural Death" is finally officially released.
Unlike usual, there were many fans holding the cover sign of "Lemon" at the purchase site of the "Unnatural Death" single book.
The song "Lemon" really brought a turn for the better of Tsukasa Higashino's "Unnatural Death"!
But then it's all about it!
As long as the sales volume is more than 28,000 copies in the first hour, the average sales of 2 million volumes will be basically stable!
Waiting has always been a difficult process.
At least for Hosokawa Koharu.
She almost pinched her watch to look at the time, even if she set the alarm clock on her trip.
Hosokawa Koharu was nervous to death.
Don't even talk about her, the expressions of other Urashima publishing house editors are similar.
This is the moment that can witness history, the moment when "Unnatural Death" changed from a phenomenal comic to a ceiling comic -
Even the editor-in-chief of Urashima couldn't calm down, and he was shaking his legs a little all the time.
"The one-hour expedited sales are out."
The table of sales statistics that had just been taken out of the printer slapped on the table.
Then everybody saw the numbers on it.
"Unnatural Death" sold 28,700 copies in one hour!
