270 Illustrations

But after reading the two original manuscripts of the novel in his hand, Shiichi Asakawa could no longer express any disdainful thoughts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If this kind of epoch-making novel is allowed to flow out of his hands because of his own relationship, then he, the president, is really the head.

"I don't know what you want, Teacher Chen Yu?"

At this moment, Shiichi Asakawa can't put on a show like before, once he misses the opportunity to cooperate with this young man because of his attitude, he will really regret it.

In the past, the relationship between writers and magazines was not that the magazine took the initiative to lower their status to talk to writers, but that writers wanted to talk to magazines.

It's different now, even though Shiichi Asakawa is the president of a magazine, but the denukeki bunko magazine where he works is on the verge of bankruptcy, and a magazine that is about to go out of business is very different from those magazines that are operating normally.

Also, the most important point is that the two light novels submitted by Chen Yu are, in the opinion of Shiichi Asakawa, too good, so good that if such a novel is submitted, if it is submitted to any magazine, the other party has no reason to refuse.

If it weren't for Chen Yu's own excellent works, even if the magazine led by Shiichi Asakawa was about to go out of business, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, no matter what, as the president of the first company, he would not have lowered his status and took the initiative to negotiate terms with the writer.

"President Asakawa, I think there's something else I want to tell you, and it's not too late for you to make a decision after listening."

Asakawa was stunned.

"Hmm?!! Please tell me something. ”

Although I don't understand what Chen Yu wants to say, in Asakawa Shiichi's heart, Chen Yu's status as a genius has been confirmed, and no matter what he says, Asakawa Shiichi will listen carefully.

Chen Yu, who felt the 180-degree change in Asakawa Shiichi's attitude, did not deliberately elevate himself because of this, what he wanted was just to be recognized by more people.

"That's right, I want to add illustrations to the novel I published in your company."

"Illustration??"

"This ......"

Shiichi Asakawa was a little embarrassed.

He understands illustrations, but when he thinks that Chen Yu means to add illustrations to the novel, it's a little hard to understand.

Seeing Asakawa Shiichi's embarrassed look, Chen Yu smiled.

"President Asakawa, haven't you thought about adding illustrations to your novels before?"

Chen Yu knew that the novel he had seen before, except for the cover, there were no illustrations at all.

Is a novel without illustrations a light novel?

Anyway, in Chen Yu's opinion, it doesn't count, his previous perception of light novels is that this illustration is really good-looking, and this character is so cute.

His vision is so cliché, just so vulgar.

It is difficult to recover the cost of publishing the published novels, so do you need to spend more money to find an artist to paint for you?

No, if it's this novel, there's nothing wrong with adding illustrations.

Shiichi Asakawa's silence, coupled with the sales results of his published novels that he had previously learned, roughly understood the reason why there were no illustrations in the novels.

"President Asakawa, for light novels, illustrations are an indispensable thing, and the existence of illustrations can make an originally excellent light novel even better."

"It can deepen the reader's sense of substitution in the novel, and once the reader reads the novel and has a sense of substitution, then the novel is considered to be half of the success."

"Illustration can also make light novels that are of poor quality attractive to many readers with good illustrations."

"Novels, the first thing to do is to attract readers, if you can't attract readers, it's useless for most novels."

"After all, not every novel is of excellent quality."

Chen Yu thinks that he is not wrong, before he crossed over, most of the content of the light novels in the world he was in had become routines, and most of the reason why some novels sold well was that the illustrations of the novels were attractive enough.

To put it simply, even if the novel itself is not attractive, good illustration can make up for it.

Chen Yu used to be the kind of person who knew light novels with illustrations, and Chen Yu believed that he was not the only one who had such thoughts.

After listening to Chen Yu's words, Asakawa Shiichi had the illusion of 'who is the professional in the industry'.

Shiichi Asakawa is not stupid, and after Chen Yu's reminder, he thought of the benefits of novel illustration.

An excellent novel, the plot, characters and writing are not high, as long as you have a sense of substitution for the readers who read your novel, then your novel will be successful.

As long as you attract readers, you are not afraid that readers will not like it, and people often buy and buy things they like.

The price of the physical book itself is not expensive, so you don't have to worry about your own wallet when you buy it.

However, the illustration that Chen Yu proposed had not been tested in the world before, and now it was suddenly implemented as he said, is it really as he said?

Imagination is one thing, reality is another, and the two are not comparable at all.

If you act purely on the basis of imagination, then you will be hit by the facts.

And Chen Yu also knows this, what he has to do is to use his two novels as experiments to complete the promotion effect.

It's just that what worries him is about the painter, although the brilliant pen can make him write extremely brilliant novels, but it is useless for painting.

The reason why he asked this question like Shiichi Asakawa was because he wanted to find an excellent painter through Shiichi Asakawa's connections.

In any case, these two novels are also the result of his hard work in writing (copying) in a week, and he still attaches great importance to the fruits of his labor.

But now it seems that illustration has to be considered in the long run.

"Well, President Asakawa, we'll put aside the illustration aspect for the time being, but now we'll talk about how to work together."

If the previous things were all false, then the next thing he discussed with Asakawa Shiichi was a real problem.

Cooperation, the word itself is defined as fairness and justice.

But in real cooperation, two or more parties, one party will always be in a state of loss.

This loss is often the most unstable factor in cooperation. Many cooperation is terminated because the party who suffers the loss can't bear the loss.

As for Chen Yu, it was the first time to cooperate with a magazine, he didn't have any experience, in his opinion, it was okay for him to suffer a little loss in this cooperation, besides, his original purpose in writing the novel was just to accumulate fame through this and win the bet with Eri's father.

Chen Yu thought so, and Asakawa Shiichi thought of another thought.

This was what Shiichi Asakawa was worried about before, how to keep the other party and cooperate with him.

As mentioned before, a work like Chen Yu, no matter which magazine it submits to, that magazine will not reject Chen Yu.

The difference between submitting articles to other magazines is that different magazines must have different conditions for Chen Yu.

And Asakawa Shiichi's Dengeki Bunko Magazine is a magazine that is about to go out of business, and on the surface it seems to be a regular magazine, but in fact he doesn't have any capital to negotiate terms with Chen Yu.

Once something has developed to a qualitative change, it can ignore most of the rules.

Chen Yu's novels are like this, and being able to be evaluated by Shiichi Asakawa as a work that brought his magazine back to life is not something he can easily decide.

Because I don't want to lose, I hesitate.

Because of hesitation, he is in a dilemma now.

Shiichi Asakawa doesn't want to say that he will take most of the benefits through cooperation, what he wants to do now is to cooperate with the other party normally without letting the other party see that he is a magazine that is about to go out of business.

After all, if you let the other party know that your magazine is on the verge of going out of business, then this cooperation can easily blow water directly.

Shiichi Asakawa didn't want to lose such an extremely rare opportunity because of his greed.

Also, Shiichi Asakawa is thinking about how to tie Chen Yu to his boat. Shiichi Asakawa is confident that as long as he travels in the same boat with Chen Yu, then his magazine will definitely return to its glory period or even surpass.
