Chapter 119 Publicity and Promotion
By the time the illustration of Jikong was completed, the takeaway was delivered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ji Kong has never been the kind of thrifty person, since he has money, of course he will not treat himself badly, so he also ordered more expensive steak rice for takeout.
Uncovering the lunch box, a large slice of beef, the texture of the meat slice is clear, a trace, the black and purple color is tempting moist and oily, and the heat mixed with the fragrance lingers in the room.
Both the appearance and the fragrance are impeccable, but Ji Kong eats it in his mouth, but he inexplicably feels that it is not as good as the egg fried rice that day!
Could it be that the egg fried rice that day was drugged?
However, Ji Kong is not a picky eater, and after solving the food in three or two clicks, Ji Kong made a phone call to Machida Yuanzi.
After all, she is nominally her own editor, so if she wants to deliver the manuscript, she can just hand it over to her directly, and there is no need to go to the denki library again.
And after receiving Ji Kong's call, Machida Yuanzi was also very surprised.
Today is the scheduled delivery date, and she knows this, but she has not dared to take the initiative to contact Ji Kong.
The reason is that Ji Kong's identity brings her too much pressure, if Ji Kong wants to delay the draft, not only can she have no choice, but also the editor of Dengeki Library, Kazuchi Suzuki!
But fortunately, Mr. Sora seems to be a very honest person, and at noon, he took the initiative to call her.
But after thinking about Suzuki Kazuchi's instructions, Machida Enko still said: "Mr. Sora, on the issue of the promotion of "Sword Art Online", the chief editor of Suzuki seems to have something to discuss with Mr. Sora, why don't you come to the company today?" ”
Originally, this afternoon, Ji Kong was going to go to the decoration company to consult about the decoration problem, but since it was a major matter related to publicity, Ji Kong naturally still had to find out.
For a new book, publicity is undoubtedly the most important, and even in a sense, it exceeds the quality of the novel itself, so it is impossible not to pay attention to it.
When I came to the denukki library by car, Machida Enko was already waiting at the door, and as soon as Ji Kong arrived, he led him straight to the editor's office on the 6th floor.
"By the way, I would like to thank Mr. Sora here." Machida Enko said as she walked, "Because Sora-sensei chose me to be your editor, now I have been promoted from operations editor to editor-in-chief. ”
"Then congratulations to Machida-sama."
Ji Kong was not surprised by this result, because on the way they came, many employees greeted Machida Yuanzi.
RB is a high-class country, and she can be so respectful to her colleagues, it must be because of her relatively high status.
Led Ji Kong to the door of the office, Machida Enko knocked on the door, and when the sound of "please come in" came from inside, she pushed the door open, and then stepped aside herself, letting Ji Kong go in alone.
Ji Kong was still a little uncomfortable with the strict class system of RB, but he didn't say much, after all, it was very unrealistic to change a certain social form by himself.
"Sora-sensei, you're here!"
Kazuchi Suzuki was originally sitting at his desk working, but when he saw Ji Kong coming in, he immediately stood up and walked over to shake Ji Kong's hand.
The two sat down opposite each other in front of a glass table, and a secretary came over to pour tea, Ji Kong took a sip lightly, and took the lead in asking: "I heard that Mr. Suzuki came to me today to discuss the matter of publicity and promotion?" ”
"That's right, I have a document here, which is a propaganda plan summarized by our propaganda department and operation department after three days of study, Mr. Kong, you can take a look, if you have any comments, just mention it."
Kazuchi Suzuki took a thick folder from his desk and handed it to Ji Kong.
"I won't read this document."
Ji Kong took the document, but didn't open it, put it aside, and said: "I'm just a layman, I don't know about the propaganda and promotion of this industry, nor the specific social form of RB, and I also believe in the professionalism of Dengeki Bunku, so I won't comment randomly." ”
Before coming, Ji Kong was still very excited to think about how to promote his first book, but when he was about to arrive at the company, he calmed down.
Before the crossing, he was just an ordinary college student, and he didn't study a major related to propaganda.
Perhaps, at other times, he could also take advantage of some differences between his past life and his present life to come up with some "tricks" - such as the promotion and promotion of the muse.
But when it comes to this kind of tough battle, those tricks won't work.
Just like the battle between two armies, conspiracy is important, but what really determines the victory or defeat of the two armies is the general's ability to command troops head-on.
After thinking about this, Ji Kong was not ready to meddle in the propaganda, after all, it is taboo for a layman to command an insider!
And hearing Ji Kong say this, Suzuki Kazuchi was also very pleased, of course he didn't want Ji Kong to interfere, but considering Ji Kong's identity, he had to find the other party to discuss.
But fortunately, Mr. Sora didn't choose to command indiscriminately.
Thinking of this, his evaluation of Ji Kong was one level higher.
"I wonder if there is anything else going on with Mr. Suzuki? If it's okay, I'll leave first. Ji Kong said.
"There's one more thing, indeed." Kazuchi Suzuki said: "That's right, the publication and sale of Sword Art Online, we are tentatively scheduled for the end of next week, and at that time, we will hold an on-site signing session for you, Mr. Sora, and I hope that Mr. Sora will have a little time to participate in it." ”
"No, if it's a book signing, there's no need to hold it at all!"
Ji Kong didn't want to think about it and refused directly.,Next week's weekend,Kasumigaoka Shiyu will also come back.,With her respect for Teacher Kong.,When the time comes, I'll definitely go to the signing party.,If your identity is discovered,,It's all over!
"Why refuse, Sora-sensei? You must know that holding a signing party is the best way to cultivate fan loyalty, and proper exposure is also conducive to the improvement of Mr. Kong's fame and the sales of books, which is a win-win situation for us, and with Mr. Kong's appearance, we must be able to gain many female fans! ”
Kazuchi Suzuki tried his best to persuade him.
"This ......" Hearing Suzuki Kazuchi say this, Ji Kong was a little shaken, thought about it and said: "It's not impossible to hold a signing meeting, but the time must be advanced to this week's weekend, and at the signing site, it is not allowed to take pictures, and it is not allowed to leak photos about me to the website, if you can do these two things, you can hold a signing meeting." ”
