269. Compared with the author, the editor is actually more uneasy?
At the same time, in the Immortal River Library.
Machida Yuanzi looked at the five watches in front of him, sighed a little helplessly, and said with a smile: "Little Liuli, no matter how uneasy you are now, no matter how anxious you are, it won't play any role in sales......"
Dressed in a formal five-watch glass, Wen Yan stopped pacing back and forth, and said with a slight dissatisfaction towards Machida Yuanzi: "Of course, the editor-in-chief of Machida doesn't have to worry about the situation of Teacher Xia Shizi's signing now, but Teacher Tu Su is completely different, right?" Many times before, if I hadn't taken the initiative to tell him, he didn't know about his works, the situation of the newcomer award and his status in the publishing house, he was obviously just a newcomer writer, and he actually ......"
"Five watches!" Machida Enko's tone was rarely formal, "It's like the author has something that shouldn't be said to the editor, and the editor shouldn't easily say anything to the authors under his command, right?" ”
“…… Yes, sorry, I lost my word. ”
Wugen Liuli lowered his head slightly, seemingly a little depressed.
Seeing this, Machida Yuanzi sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, he is still a newcomer, and changed the topic and said: "Speaking of which, compared to the degree of difficulty in taking care of it, Shi-chan ...... Ah, I mean Teacher Xia Shizi, maybe it's the same as that Teacher Tu Su? ”
"Huh?" Wugen Liuli was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again, and retorted conclusively, "How is it possible...... Compared to the degree of not caring about his own author, Mr. Tu Su is the first person I have known among so many light authors! ”
"Hehe, I don't mean this aspect ......" Machida Yuanzi also shook her head, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she remembered a time that was not too far away, and certainly not too pleasant, after a pause, she continued, "At the beginning, Teacher Kasumi Shiko's difficulty in cooperating, but in the entire Immortal River Library, it is second to none...... Obviously a rookie writer, obviously very concerned about whether his work can be recognized, obviously very concerned about the sales of his works - but, on the surface, it is still such a cold look of 'everything does not linger in the heart', it is impossible to know what to say......"
"Uh......" Gogen Ruri obviously heard Machida Yuanzi, who is the editor of Kasumi Shizi, comment on the other party for a while, and for a moment, he seemed a little stunned.
Pursing his lips and suppressing the surprise in his heart a little, Wugen Liuli concluded with some uncertainty: "In other words, Teacher Xia Shizi...... Is it actually a tsundere? ”
Subconsciously, she used the attributes of a two-dimensional character that has been popular for many years to describe this contrast between inside and outside.
"Tsundere?" Machida Enko shook her head a little helplessly, "That kind of inadversity is more troublesome than tsundere...... And, most of the time, keep a cool head and make objective judgments about everything around you...... Sometimes I think, in the future, whether she can meet the boy she likes in the future will be marked with a big question mark......"
Hearing this, Gogen Ruri's expression was a little subtle, she hadn't seen what Kasumi Shiko looked like, but listening to the seniors in the editorial department - of course, mainly listening to Machida Yuanzi sometimes mention each other - it should be a sense, at least in terms of appearance, impeccable beautiful girl.
As a result, has it now fallen to the point where her own editors have begun to worry about her life's work?
That's a wretched thought...... Although it is said, she herself has no position to say this kind of thing.
And so on - in this way, that is, these two authors, in a sense, are the existence of their own editors, extremely worried?
Sighing and shaking his head, Wugen Liuli retracted his complicated thoughts, and continued to glance at his phone from time to time, waiting for the reaction of bookstores large and small everywhere with some restlessness.
Although the number of copies of the first edition is 30,000 copies, to be honest, the Immortal River Library is not sure whether this work can become a hit and become a phenomenon, so there is also a certain element of "gambling".
If you win, it will naturally be a sea and a wide sky; Lose, although it is a little uncomfortable, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones, after all, no matter how much you value this work, it is just a new work for newcomers. Although the family background of the immortal Sichuan library has become weaker and weaker recently, it will not be greatly damaged because of a work.
……
Time rewinds a little back an hour ago, when Kasumigaoka Shiha's signing session had just begun.
At the beginning of the book signing, the bookstores of all sizes contacted by the Immortal River Library also began to sell related new books.
It stands to reason that a book signing event similar to a best-selling author's event is either held after the official release of the new book, or it is only sold at the event location, and then it is distributed to major bookstores. However, due to the fact that there is also a ticket for the newcomer's book to be sold at the same time, the immortal river library also set the official laying and sale of Kasumi Shizi's new book and the signing event on the same day.
At this moment, Chiyoda Ward, somewhere outside an ordinary one-family house.
"Pro-——! If you don't come out again, I'll go first! ”
A young man with a slight beard but still a young face, dressed in the clothes of the most popular anime characters of the moment, shouted towards the second floor of the house.
Such an ordinary otaku high school student, but with a rather unusual name - Shizuo.
Of course, maybe it's just that in the eyes of people in Jiang Yu's world, there are some differences. But here, it's actually a fairly common name.
Not long after, the man he called "Linye", with clothes and pants that didn't fit well, walked out with sleepy eyes and rubbing his hair.
He was the same as Shizuo waiting outside the door, but his face was much more handsome, and he didn't have a beard, just a messy, unkempt hair that seemed to cover all the good qualities of the boy.
I only heard the other party yawning as he walked over, and said nonchalantly, "I said Jingxiong, why are you up so early...... Teacher Ming Mingxia Shizi's signing party didn't start until ten o'clock, didn't it? And if you don't go to the queue earlier, it doesn't matter when you go after that, right? I can't squeeze any further to the front anyway. ”
Shizuo shook his head, raised his chin, looked at Linya with a "naive" look, and said in a slightly sympathetic tone: "If I didn't know that you are also a loyal fan of Teacher Kasumi Shizi, I would really doubt your love for the second dimension...... You haven't been following the teacher's Twitter updates lately, have you? ”
"Hey, hey-what's this to do with the love for the second dimension, Shizuo, don't catch a question, just go online, okay? I just don't have the habit of scrolling through Twitter and scrolling through LINE, so why don't I love it? ”
The seemingly calm Linya, Wen Yan also seemed to show that he belonged to a high school student, and he was full of vitality, so he immediately retorted.
