285 Light Novel Era
"Is it Ewa-sensei?"
Early in the morning, Chen Yu, who was still dreaming, was woken up by a ringing ring. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Chen Yu, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes that were still very confused, looked at the unfamiliar phone on the mobile phone screen, he wanted to hang up, and pressed the answer button by mistake, and a low male voice came from the mobile phone.
The voice...... I think I've heard it somewhere......
Eiwa ...... Who is this?
The other party made the wrong call......
"Is it Ewa-sensei?"
Inside the earpiece, a voice came out again.
Eiwa ...... This seems to be my pen name......
Chen Yu, who seemed to remember something, replied weakly.
"Is it President Asakawa?"
"It's me, do you have time to visit the magazine today?"
After hearing Chen Yu's voice, the other party's tone suddenly became excited.
"Magazine? Oh, no problem, I just have a manuscript to show you to review. ”
Chen Yu, who was a little sober, remembered that it had been three days since he had discussed with Shiichi Asakawa.
In the past three days, Chen Yu has returned to the days when he doesn't go out at any other time except for solving the problem of stomach food and clothing.
In three days, he drove out the second volume of "Magic Forbidden Book**" and "My Youth Love Story Sure Enough***".
The reason why the time was more than twice as fast this time was that he was used to handwriting manuscripts, and the handwriting speed that was originally a little slow gradually returned to the normal level.
"Really?!! That's just great. ”
Shiichi Asakawa of the magazine almost jumped with excitement when he heard that Chen Yu was about to review the second volume of the two novels for him.
If it weren't for the staff around him looking at this side, he would have been excited and couldn't find the north.
Before, he thought that the two novels "Magic Forbidden Book**" and "My Youth Love Should Be Speechless***" had great potential, but he didn't expect these two novels to have so great potential.
On the day of Chen Yu's departure, Shiichi Asakawa asked his son to type the manuscript into the computer and upload it to the Internet.
Of course, the reason why he did this was entirely because Chen Yu authorized him to do so when Chen Yu was discussing relevant publicity methods.
When the novel was posted on the Internet, Asakawa Shiichi used the last connections he had left in the industry to promote it, and the response he received the next day was nothing short of what he expected.
These two novels were uploaded on the Internet, and Shiichi Asakawa did not put them on those stations, he put these two novels on the homepage of the official website of his magazine.
In his opinion, if he hadn't met Chen Yu anyway, his official website of the magazine would have been scrapped soon.
After doing it, he asked his friends in the industry to spread the word.
Shiichi Asakawa now thinks about the scene when he asked his friends for help, and everyone's reaction to him is that not reading the novel and reading the novel are two completely different attitudes.
Before reading the novel, most of these people were because they had some friendship with themselves, and they were embarrassed to reject themselves bluntly, and under the extreme recommendation of Shiichi Asakawa, after they read the novel hanging on the official website, the attitude of being a little embarrassed immediately changed 180°.
"Asakawa, who wrote the novel on your official website?"
This is intended to dig into the foot of the wall.
"Asakawa, can you introduce me to the author of the novel?"
This one is more straightforward.
"Asakawa, do you want to cooperate in a separate book?"
This is intended to work with him.
The others also had a similar attitude, these people initially chose to recommend whatever the novel was written because of their own friendship, and when they finished reading it, they were all as shocked and surprised as Shiichi Asakawa was after reading the novel at that time.
Most of Shiichi Asakawa friends are also insiders in this industry, and how can these insiders, who are absolutely elite insiders, fail to see the huge potential hidden in these two novels.
In particular, when Shiichi Asakawa first mentioned the new concept of 'light novel' to them, they were a little curious at the time, but they didn't express their curiosity when they thought that Shiichi Asakawa's magazine was about to go out of business, so they didn't express their curiosity with the idea of one less competitor.
These people originally planned to wait for the complete closure of Shiichi Asakawa magazine before they really asked, but they didn't expect Shiichi Asakawa to throw two nuclear bomb-level things out directly.
This made a group of people who were going to sit and wait and see all dumbfounded, and after reading the novel, these people thought of a thought in their hearts at the same time.
This guy Asakawa has picked up a treasure this time, and this treasure is still a natural treasure that can bring his magazine back to life.
When Shiichi Asakawa later told them that these two novels were written by the same person, they really understood that Shiichi Asakawa was really going to be released this time.
In order to be the first to ride this east wind, these people saw that no matter how they asked Shiichi Asakawa Shiichi, Shiichi Asakawa was tight-lipped and did not answer any questions, so they had to help Shiichi Asakawa promote it on their respective websites as agreed.
Shiichi Asakawa asked these people to help with the publicity, and did not ask them to come up, but asked them to take the time to take a look before making a decision.
No, this group of people, like him, was directly conquered by two novels.
Shiichi Asakawa didn't sleep well all night, and when he woke up the next day and checked the results for the first time, he found that the official website, which had no traffic at all, had 130,000 visits last night.
130,000 ...... What does this mean, to put it mildly, 13w people visited his website that was about to go out of business in one night. It's hard to hear, remove the water of repeated clicks inside, that's also tens of thousands.
Such a result was achieved just one night after the initial promotion, which was beyond Asakawa Shiichi's imagination.
At first, Shiichi Asakawa thought that it would be good to have tens of thousands of times, and if he was excellent, he doubled this result, but he definitely didn't expect that this actual result would be more than ten times more than he expected.
Not only that, after hanging the novel on the official website, Shiichi Asakawa also asked his son Asaichi to open a message function under the two novels.
The difference between the number of people who left this message and the two novels is not large, both are 80,000+, which means that the real number of people visiting the website should be around 80,000.
None of these comments were negative, and most of them were urging to update the next volume, as well as asking who wrote the novel.
After Shiichi Asakawa uploaded the novel last night, in order not to expose Chen Yu's information, he didn't fill in his pen name.
After reading these messages, he called his son, who was still sleeping, and added Chen Yu's pen name. But there was other information about Chen Yu, and Shiichi Asakawa wasn't stupid enough to expose this to those snooping competitors.
In the past two days, Shiichi Asakawa longed for forty-eight hours a day.
On the Internet, the number of people visiting the website is increasing because of the novel.
In reality, in order to cope with the next publishing matter, Asakawa Shiichi first called the employees who had resigned one by one and asked if they were interested in returning to work, and most of the employees who had not yet found a suitable job chose to return to work.
In the eyes of these people, before they resigned, President Asakawa was not kind to them, and even though the magazine was about to go out of business, President Asakawa still paid them a lot of their salaries.
Now I have received a call from President Asakawa himself, and most of these people choose to believe that Shiichi Asakawa will return after hearing that the president said that the magazine has a chance to regain its glory.
The remaining small number of employees found other jobs, and Shiichi Asakawa did not force them to come back.
With a rough calculation in mind, the returning employees could temporarily support the operation of the magazine, and Shiichi Asakawa planned to wait for the publication of the novel before completing the vacant position.
No, the reaction on the Internet became bigger and bigger, and Shiichi Asakawa had to call Chen Yu and ask him about the publication.
When I asked like this, I didn't expect to ask for the news of the second volume.
Previously, in Asakawa Shiichi's opinion, it was already remarkable to be able to write such a novel, and it would definitely take a lot of time to revise and perfect it.
Unexpectedly, only three days have passed, and the news of the second volume has come out from the other party, which is simply the best reward for working day and night for three days.
