Chapter 8 The helplessness of Kasumigaoka Shiyu~

Cartoonists are obsessed with storyboards and can't extricate themselves, novelists are wary of dead lines and crazy drafting; Although they are all jobs that can be done at home, they need to be socialized to a certain extent in real life.

Gu Wu, who is the editor in charge of Kasumigaoka Shiyu, thinks that this is a good opportunity, especially to get in touch with those bigwig writers and famous editors, and if you are lucky, you may get a fixed and top-ranked publication quota in advance.

You must know that even if the contracted writers of the library are not enough, they may be robbed of their publishing places by popular writers; This will lead to a gradual decline in the popularity of the work, which will eventually lead to unsatisfactory results when the work is released.

"Senior sister, and Mr. Gu Wu, I still have to improve the plan, and the three of us can talk about it when we have time!"

An Yilun also picked up the plan book and disappeared into the entrance of Kasumigaoka's house in a little panic, what was the hero thinking? Anyway, Gu Wu didn't know very well.

"Mr. Gu Wu, don't think that what you did just now can make up for the mistakes you made! Be careful that I use that thing to give you the highest gift. ”

Forget about the pepper spray! Gu Wu hurriedly nodded to show that he understood and would not do that kind of stupid thing again.

"Next time, I'll have to talk to Ethics Jun, so what happened just now? Who calls you? Mr. Gu Wu doesn't look like he has a friend. ”

"Don't just say something so hurtful! It's the editor-in-chief of the Immortal River who just called, and I want to inform you of something. ”

"What is it?"

Kasumigaoka asked as she walked to her desk, and she looked ready to code as she operated her laptop.

The popularity of "Love Metronome" is currently steadily rising, and if the new volume drags on for too long, it will indeed be a bad result.

"It's a newcomer writers' banquet funded by the Immortal River Bookstore in the name of Fantastic Library, and there are a lot of popular newcomers among them, and I heard that there are also bigwigs who will be there."

"Well, I'm sorry I don't have much time or interest; The plan book and plot on the Ethics Jun's side, as well as the creation of a new volume, are enough to make me anxious, and I don't have time to deal with those trivial matters. ”

"That's true, but there's nothing wrong with relaxing once in a while, right? This is a great opportunity. ”

Gu Wu didn't plan to leave because he felt that if he missed this banquet, he would lose a lot of things.

For a writer, sales are life and strength.

Just like the voice actors in Japan, only one writer out of a thousand writers can barely support himself, and the remaining 999 are all street fighters.

Any competitive industry is cruel, and if you don't pay enough, you can't get anything at all.

Of course, Gu Wu is not negating the efforts of Xia Zhiqiu, it is hard enough for her to juggle three jobs.

"Even so, you can't pass up that opportunity."

"Mr. Gu Wu, you are a newcomer in charge of the editor, right? Have you ever written a novel or a project? Have you ever worked on the original game? I'd love to borrow all the cat's paws right now. ”

I wish there were twenty-five hours a day, and Kasumigaoka, who added in a whisper, wanted to renew for 1 hour for himself.

Hearing Xia Zhiqiu's reaction that was equivalent to questioning, Gu Wu smiled bitterly and said that he had not been deeply involved in those aspects.

In the past, Gu Wu also wrote essays seriously when he was in elementary school, thinking about becoming a novelist, but the result was ...... There is no talent for that at all.

"I think the talented teacher Xia Shizi can continue to work hard, so I have some personal opinions, but excellent people are excellent, that's all...... If you're really busy, I'll help you react. ”

Gu Wu, who sighed softly, was a little helpless.

He wants Kasumigaoka to be outstanding, not just for his own achievement points as an agent, but to see a person succeed with his own help.

There is a shadow behind the light, and the gorgeous stage also relies on the support of the lighting engineer, and there are often multiple efforts behind a success.

"If Ms. Xia Shizi is free, please let me know as soon as possible, and I will check to see if there is an opportunity to meet with other editors and publishers."

It's not uncommon for authors to recommend their work to publishers.

The wave of Japanese light novels is fierce, and even if the market share is decreasing, it has enough power to drown newcomers.

"Alas...... Really, Mr. Gu Wu doesn't give me so much expectations. ”

"I'm serious."

"You won't be ashamed."

The corner of her mouth was raised, and she sighed in imitation of Gu Wu just now, and after closing her laptop, she got up and walked to the cluttered wardrobe.

"It's all messed up with Mr. Gu Wu."

"Do you want me to tidy it up?"

"Do you want me to call the police?"

"I'm sorry......!"

It seems that sexual, harassy and disturbing jokes can't be made.

After a while, Kasumigaoka, who was stuck in the closet, took out two long dresses that looked like evening dresses.

She holds a dress with black and light red lace in her left hand and a white and blue ribbon in her right hand.

He took the two pieces of clothing and compared them in front of him and asked

"Mr. Gu Wu, which one do you think is better?"

"What? Wait a minute! Kasumi-sensei is going to a banquet? ”

"yes, I don't want to see a sullen editor-in-charge support me in my writing, that would be too bad."

"Then the one on the left......"

"OK, choose the one on the right."

Abominable woman! Next time, you will definitely wear more shameful clothes!

Having said that, Gu Wu was still very happy.

Tomorrow night is the banquet time, and there will be more than enough time to start preparing now.

"Good Lat! I'm going to look into the detailed list of participants! Say hello one by one when the time comes! ”

"Mr. Gu Wu is also overzealous, right?"

"Laziness is one of the original sins!"

So Xia Zhiqiu was thinking about other clothing combinations on the side, while Gu Wu was investigating the list of banquet attendees on the other side.

As I said before, it is the easiest, most direct and most effective way to have a good relationship with famous authors and editors!

There is no doubt that tomorrow's banquet will be a new beginning for Gu Wu as an agent! Network! Create your own dimensional empire!

In fact, it can't be so exaggerated, Gu Wu smiled bitterly in his heart, who would be so middle two in these years?

"By the way, although it's not related to the current topic...... Have you heard of the novel "Dragon and Tiger"? ”

"Well...... Not impressed. ”

“……”

Got a new chance! Flattered!
