When Chen Yu was asleep, he heard the mobile phone ringing and remembered. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Didn't look at who the electricity was, Chen Yu directly answered.
Maybe it was because he was suddenly woken up, even if Chen Yu didn't have a surface, there was inevitably some rush in his tone.
"Eiwa-sensei......"
On the other end of the phone, Shiichi Asakawa, who was calling Chen Yu, was considering whether to wait and call.
Listening to the other party's tone, it seems that he hasn't woken up yet.
"I'll call you later."
Asakawa thought about it, and called him later.
"No need, the calls are coming, and there is a reason to wait for the call."
"President Asakawa, it's not enough to wake me up once, you want to wake me up a second time."
"I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
Although it is a little past nine o'clock in the morning, ordinary office workers have already started to work at their workplaces.
But in front of you, this time period is very common to rest.
After all, writers, sometimes inspiration comes, whether it is day or night, they will choose to record or write the inspiration that appears in their minds.
If you write like this, it's likely to be an all-nighter.
"It's fine."
"President Asakawa, is there anything you want me to do?"
Chen Yu, who was gradually recovering his spirits, rubbed his eyes, looked out the window, and found that the sky had already brightened, if he hadn't closed the curtains at night, it was estimated that the sun had already reached the bed by now.
It's so late......
I really fought hard last night.
"That's right, Ewa-sensei."
"I tried to rectify the website with your suggestions.,And got great results.,From today.,I'm going to officially change to a magazine specializing in light novels.。
"That's ......"
“......”
"Congratulations to President Asakawa on his successful career change."
Chen Yu's bland answer made Shiichi Asakawa suddenly feel a little bored.
A few days ago, he heard Chen Yu's suggestion, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was feasible.
The biggest reason for him to make up his mind is that Chen Yu is a pioneering figure with him, as long as he follows this path, he can use Chen Yu's own reputation to gain a lot of innate advantages.
After solving the problem of funding, Shiichi Asakawa began to implement the reorganization plan.
What he didn't expect was that the website would be a huge success from the start.
Originally, the traffic of this website was only more than 100,000, but after the initial improvement of the website, the traffic directly forced into one million.
The new website not only brought a huge amount of traffic, but also brought many authors who were influenced by Chen Yu's novels and joined the industry.
What is the biggest difficulty for a dedicated station?
What is lacking is not that there are not many works in itself, what is lacking is not that the works are not good enough, but the most important thing is the author.
Not a lot of works? It's okay, as long as there are enough authors, the number of works will soon increase.
Not good enough? It's okay, as long as there are enough authors, in the situation of big waves and sands, excellent works will always be born.
In short, a site, as long as there are enough authors settled, is half the battle.
This half can be said to be something that money may not be able to do.
In the past few days, the traffic to the new website has been increasing, and more and more authors have settled in.
At the same time, under the constant attention of Shiichi Asakawa, several excellent works were born on the website.
Although these works are not as popular as Chen Yu's work, they are still quite attractive to teenagers.
The reason why Shiichi Asakawa called Chen Yu today, in addition to reporting the good news to him, there are two important things to tell Chen Yu.
"Eiwa-sensei......"
"President Asakawa, wait a minute."
As soon as Shiichi Asakawa finished opening his mouth this time, he was interrupted by Chen Yu.
"What's wrong?"
"Everyone knows each other so well, don't call me Mr. Eyu, just call me by my real name."
Just kidding, Ewa-sensei......
I feel quite face-saving when I listen to it once or twice, but I feel ashamed when I listen to it too much.
Especially in front of this person who has an inexplicable fate with him.
Eiwa ......
Chen Yu, who was just about to wash up, covered his face and didn't dare to look at himself in the mirror.
How did you come up with such a pen name at that time......
Shiichi Asakawa must have known the meaning behind this pen name, even if he did it by accident, but in his opinion, it must have been intentional.
Since you can't change the title now, it's better not to listen.
“......”
"Chen Yujun ......"
"It's better to get rid of the one in the back."
"Chen Yu ......"
"Well, that's it, I'll call you Uncle Asakawa in the future, no problem."
"-Hmm!"
Shiichi Asakawa, who was originally a little unbelievable, was happy instead of feeling angry when he heard Chen Yu call him uncle.
If the other party can call themselves like this, it means that the relationship between them is no longer as superficial as before.
Now, in addition to cooperation, they also have more friendship.
"Uncle Asakawa, guessing from the tone you just said, what do you have to tell me?"
"Let's talk about it first, I'm only halfway through the third volume of the two books, don't rush!"
“......”
“!!!”
I didn't plan to ask when the third volume would come out, but when I heard Chen Yu say this, Asakawa Shiichi almost blurted out and asked when it would come out.
Also, when he heard that Chen Yu had finished half of the third volume of the two novels, he almost wanted to go directly to the place where Chen Yu lived and read the third volume in advance.
Chen Yu, if you tell this story, you won't be able to give other colleagues a way out.
Just kidding, the average fiction writer wants to finish a volume of work, usually in about a month.
Of course, this month is just the final degree of revision of the work by the fiction writer himself.
In addition, when he submits his article to the magazine, the magazine will let him make revisions to a certain extent.
If the work itself is concise and perfect, there are few places to modify, but if the work is a little procrastinating, then there are a lot of places to modify.
Like Chen Yu, there are only a few people in the entire industry who don't need to revise it at all.
But compared to him, the speed of these people is simply the difference between heaven and earth.
Finally holding back his restless heart, Shiichi Asakawa said the real reason for looking for Chen Yu today.
"Chen Yu, that's right, the illustration you requested, since it was proposed that day, we have been recruiting, and now there are many artists who have painted your works."
"Of course, most of these works are posted online, so if you have time, you can check to see if there are any paintings you like."
"If so, please let me know, and I'll identify your favorite artist as the fiction illustrator."
For the illustration, Shiichi Asakawa originally thought it was a highlight.
But when he heard Chen Yu ask that his works also need illustrations, he was a little disapproving in his heart.
After all, in his opinion, Chen Yu's works are already perfect, and if he mixes something in without permission, it is very likely to destroy this perfection.
He thought so, but Chen Yu himself insisted on doing so.
Shiichi Asakawa, who consulted with Chen Yu and was rejected, finally had to agree to recruit illustrators for these two works.
After the news of "Magic Forbidden Book**" and "My Youth Love Story***" recruiting illustrators came out.
In just a few days, there was an influx of illustrations, both at the actual submission address and in the submission area on the Internet.
The quality of these works was uneven, and Shiichi Asakawa couldn't make a decision.
In the end, he could only give this task to Chen Yu, the author of the novel.
"Well, I'll go to the magazine today."
"Okay."
"By the way, Chen Yu, the work place of the magazine has moved, and this is the new work place of the magazine."
“*********”
With popularity and financial assistance, this time, Shiichi Asakawa wants to really do a big job.
"Okay, I'll get in touch with you."
The new address that Asakawa Shiichi said is also in Akihabara, and this place is still near the old place if Chen Yu remembers correctly.
"O Kami Sama, please tell me why I am so stuck_(:3ゝ∠)_〉 (To be continued.) )
