165.Kasumi Shiko's new work (final)
"Eh—how?" An Yilun also looked incredulous, and turned his head to look at Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was sitting beside him.
Unexpectedly, the other party really nodded carelessly, and at the same time said coldly: "Of all the words that Juniorjun just said, only this one I completely agree with." ”
An Yilun, who was hit one after another, also lay on the table in a frustrated posture and bent forward, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
After laughing, Jiang Yu said: "So when will Senior Sister's new work be released?" ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought for a while and said, "It's probably the middle of this month, right?" According to the editor-in-chief Machida, due to President Kawashima's commercial arrangement, it seems that my new work will be released together with the work of the newcomer award. ”
"Huh? Sold together? ”
Jiang Yu looked stunned.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled, looked at Jiang Yu's face with interest, and said, "In other words, this time they are competitors and business partners~~ Teacher Baili Tusu? ”
Jiang Yu's body trembled, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That title should spare me...... Also, how many volumes of senior sister's new work are expected to be completed? ”
At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart: President Kawashima? Yes, I remember that some of the basic information of the Immortal River Library I saw at the beginning, and the person in the position of the president seems to be surnamed Kawashima?
Regarding the situation of this kind of work being released together, Jiang Yu thought about it for a while and understood the intention of President Kawashima. It is nothing more than using the authors of their own publishing house to increase the sales of excellent works in the newcomer awards, which is not uncommon in the publishing industry. There are many newcomers who have just debuted, and if they know some well-known writers, they usually ask them to write a foreword or something, which is equivalent to publicity.
Compared with this, Jiang Yu is more concerned about the number of volumes of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's new work. Because the original work in his previous life was a comic, he was a little curious about what kind of wonderful story this work could be interpreted by her under the pen of Xia Shizi, relying on the framework he told her.
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu unconsciously tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, "No more than three volumes." Ideally, it is two volumes and one extra volume. But about this work...... There is one more small problem. ”
An Yilun, who was pretending to be dead, also heard this, straightened his body, and said in surprise: "It's really rare, Senior Sister Shiyu still has questions that she hasn't considered in the first half of the new release, okay?" It should not be far from the 'dead line' of the work, right? ”
The so-called "dead line" - that is, "deadline", is the original date of submission of the work, which is not limited to the publishing industry, but is used in all creative fields.
The dead line is generally divided into two kinds, one is the time set by the editor at the beginning, and after the work is handed in, it can also be revised such as picking typos; The other is that if the work is not completed on time, it will jeopardize the time for publication of the work, which means that the original manuscript must be completed at a certain time, including printing, binding, shipping, etc.
It is worth mentioning that 70% of the writers who do not follow the dead line actually make up for it, so that the guards at the printing house know what to do with the manuscripts handed in.
In addition, if the work really can't catch up, there is also the saying of "skipping tickets", for example, a certain Chiba super blows, a volume is written for a year, and the ending is not actually the ending, and then it is said that the ending is bundled with two volumes...... I'm afraid I don't want to get rich with a blade, this writer.
Jiang Yu also looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu a little strangely, obviously not knowing what kind of questions there could be about this work.
As for the burial ...... I was drinking Coke with a happy face, and I didn't have the idea of inserting a topic.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu crossed his hands in front of his chest, slightly supported his chin, and said with a chuckle, "It's the name." The name of the work has not yet been decided, and as a provider of inspiration, I think it is better for you to have this right, Junior. ”
Jiang Yu blinked, obviously digesting the news, but looking at Kasumigaoka Shiyu's tone, although he was smiling and speaking, his eyes were extremely serious. He took a light breath, exhaled again, and then nodded with a smile, "It's an honor." How about calling it ...... "April is Your Lies"? ”
In the end, Jiang Yu's face had a look of nostalgia that made everyone present very incomprehensible, as if he remembered a somewhat distant but very good time.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu silently chewed on the name a few times in her heart, and then her eyes lit up, and she happily responded: "I don't think there is a better name than this." ”
“…… I don't really understand what you're talking about, but just hearing the name makes me feel like I'm looking for it. Is it the middle of this month? I'm really looking forward to it~ Senior sister's new work! ”
Ahn Yelun has also become an avid fan of Kasumi Shizi again.
"Hmm~ the middle of this month? I'll buy it and support it. ”
Suddenly, Megumi Kato, who seemed to be concentrating on playing with her phone, interjected.
"Ah...... Oh...... By the way, I haven't thanked you for coming to the book signing for a low-selling writer like me. ”
In the face of Megumi Kato's straightforward words, Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to be a little unable to cope and began to change the topic.
"Not really. Aren't there a lot of book lovers here today? ”
In response, Megumi Kato hit a straight ball again.
"Yes...... Oh? ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu began to be a little dumbfounded.
"Besides, there's a lot of discussion on the Internet, right?"
"yes, those readers seem to be divided into two heroines' factions, and they are attacking each other. Isn't it, Sister Shiyu? ”
It's not all because you write about that tangled triangle...... An Yilun also chose to join the battle, and at the same time complained secretly in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Megumi Kato looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and shook his head seriously at An Yilun, and said in a sincere tone: "No, they are also quite praising the work itself." I've also seen opinions that this is the best romantic comedy in recent years. ”
"Thank you."
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu still looked like she was very bitter about this, and subconsciously turned her attention to Jiang Yu for help.
Jiang Yu, who noticed Kasumigaoka's gaze, shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he couldn't help. And the real thought in my heart is: It turns out that Senior Sister Kasumigaoka will also show such an expression...... Something.
After having lunch, we stayed at the burger restaurant until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, during which the group had a rare serious discussion about club activities, although in the end they could not come to a result. Then Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said goodbye to a few people, and there seemed to be some other activities here in the afternoon, and Jiang Yu and the others were naturally not easy to keep.
A few people who have already achieved their purpose here are ready to take the return train home. While waiting for the train in the station, Jiang Yu glanced at it and seemed to find the figure of Mizuno Caiyin, who was holding a man's arm with a smile. Just as Jiang Yu was about to confirm it, the other party disappeared into the bustling crowd.
Illusion?
Jiang Yu secretly wondered, but the reality didn't give him much time to think, and under the call of the earth, he stepped into the car door.
