Chapter 34: Faith
Based on the experience of Kei Fujiwara's previous life, rumors in the workplace are extremely credible.
However, it is reasonable for this half-dead variety show to usher in a fatal knife in the neck, and Kei Fujiwara is not surprised, nor is he panicked like others.
He sorted out the plan he had written and knocked on the door of Kobayashi's office.
"Please come in."
Kei Fujiwara pushed open the office door and saw Shuzo Kobayashi and another middle-aged man in the office, seemingly talking about something.
The middle-aged man, Kei Fujiwara, had seen it, and he was a deputy chief with high skills, and he seemed to be called Fujii or something.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know there was anyone in there." Kei Fujiwara apologized, "I'll come back later." ”
"It's okay, Fujiwara, what's the matter?"
Kei Fujiwara glanced at Vice Chief Fujii, took the plan in his hand and said, "That's the case, didn't I exchange some views with you not long ago?" This is a project I made, and I would like to ask you to take a look. ”
Kobayashi Shuzao was a little surprised: "Did you make it so quickly?" You ......"
What kind of plan can be made in two or three days, eighty percent is just an idea, not even grass creation, Kobayashi Shuzo just wanted to criticize the two sentences of Fujiwara Kei for being impetuous, but his eyes glanced at Fujii Vice-Chief, and he swallowed the words.
"Give it to me, I'll watch it when I have time."
Kei Fujiwara presented the plan, and at this time, Deputy Chief Fujii on the side suddenly smiled and said, "You are Kei Fujiwara, right?" The new AD. ”
A deputy even knows his name? Fujiwara Kei was a little surprised, and bowed slightly to Fujii's second chief: "Yes." ”
"The short films you write are very interesting, although you are still very young, but you can see the potential, and if you cultivate them, you may grow into a good screenwriter."
Vice Chief Fujii did not hesitate to praise Fujiwara Kei, and Fujiwara Kei immediately smiled and said, "You have won the award." ”
Without showing any panic or surprise, a subtle hint of unhappiness crossed Fujii's eyebrows.
People who are not shocked by humiliation often have great intentions. As a paternalistic leader with a conservative style and traditional thinking, Fujii does not like this kind of junior.
"Okay, Fujiwara-kun, you go out first, Fujii-san and I still have something to discuss." Kobayashi said.
Kei Fujiwara nodded and went out very interestingly, and his first impression of this Fujii deputy chief was not very good. There is a kind of cold shrewdness and selfish calculation in this man's eyebrows. However, in his experience, most of the shrewdness of such people is self-inflicted, and they are not really smart.
As soon as Fujiwara went out, a colleague rushed out of nowhere, grabbed Fujiwara by the sleeve, and pulled him into the crowd.
"Fujiwara-kun, what's going on inside?"
Kei Fujiwara shrugged, "I don't know, they haven't said anything since I went in." ”
"It can't be like that......"
"Cut the ...... of the program"
"So what do we do? I'm on a short-term contract, so I'll be out at any moment! ”
"I'm ...... too"
It turned out that they were all worried about the fate of the variety show "My Illustrated Book", Fujiwara Kei wanted to persuade them to relax, this variety show must have no way to live, and it was useless to worry.
But it's easy to get cut when you say this, so Fujiwara Kei didn't say much.
The fourth and fifth chapters of "White Night Walking" were also published within this month.
The ranking of "White Night Walking" has officially stabilized, whether it is Quick Report or Xiaozheng, the ranking of both chapters is in first place, and it is five percentage points higher than the second place. And this gap seems to be widening all the time.
Kazuhiko Itagaki and Kei Fujiwara talked on the phone during this time, and the volume was louder than usual by more than two decibels, and it seems that the good momentum of "White Night Walking" also gave him a lot of confidence.
"Fujiwara-kun, congratulations! Now the editorial department's forecast for the total sales of "White Night Walking" has reached 150,000 copies! ”
Kazuhiko Itagaki said excitedly on the phone.
"Really? That's a real please. ”
And Kei Fujiwara just smiled when he heard this, is it only 150,000 copies? It seems that the style of the Spring and Autumn Society is really conservative.
At another time, "White Night Walking" sold more than 2 million copies in the local area that year, and this was only a limited time to sell.
Although 150,000 copies is indeed the standard of bestsellers, the real value that "White Night Walking" can create is definitely far beyond this number.
Listening to Kei Fujiwara on the other end of the phone, Kazuhiko Itagaki's small eyes narrowed slightly, as a veteran editor, he has dealt with countless authors, and Kei Fujiwara has known each other for a while, so it can be heard from the tone of the other party - Kei Fujiwara doesn't seem to be interested in the number of 150,000.
If a social novel by a new author can sell 150,000 copies, this is enough to shock the publishing world. Why, this is still not satisfied?
Although Kazuhiko Itagaki has a strong confidence in "White Night Walking", it seems that Kei Fujiwara's confidence in this book is far greater than his......
"Watanabe-sensei, please come in." As soon as he hung up the phone, Kazuhiko Itagaki heard the voice of Shimada-like from a distance.
Shimada walked towards the editorial office with a spring breeze on his face, and that person was also a familiar face in the Spring Breeze Club, who was the author of "Aurora Murder", Watanabe Ikema.
Watanabe Chi Shin just turned 30 this year and is the recipient of the Ranbu Award. So far, he has written three books, and he is at the peak of his creative career.
"Aurora Murder", published in October last year, was a huge hit as soon as it was released, and so far, the sales have exceeded 500,000, and it is an out-and-out hit novel.
As a result, Watanabe Ikejin has become one of the hottest writers in demand today, and writers like this are undoubtedly the targets of many publishing houses, and Spring and Autumn Society is no exception.
In order to compete for the publication of the popular writer's next work, major publishing houses are showing their talents, and I heard that the manuscript fee alone has reached 12,000 per page, which is enough to make someone clench their fists and drool.
Minister Kawaguchi didn't know how to use to actually sign a contract with this popular writer.
Watanabeike's real participation also means that the arms of the Spring and Autumn Society will become a lot stronger in the next year or so.
The editors of the Spring and Autumn Club are also very happy, and Watanabeike's participation means that the magazine's sales will increase again, and their performance bonuses will also increase.
Kazuhiko Itagaki is no exception, and although it is great to see the best-selling author Watanabe Ikema join, at the same time, I am also feeling a sense of loss.
With the addition of Watanabe Ike, Shimada's performance this year must be outstanding.
Kazuhiko Itagaki and Shimada have been competing for the position of vacant team leader, so it seems that they are going to lose to Shimada Masato......
Kazuhiko Itagaki sighed inwardly, unless there was someone among the writers he was in charge of whose new book sales exceeded the transitional margin, ......
At this time, Kazuhiko Itagaki suddenly thought of "White Night Walking".
But then, he smiled and shook his head.
This is too small......
And Shimada like people passed by Itagaki Kazuhiko at this moment, glanced at him, and showed a confident smile.
What if that Socialist won the first place in the supplement? Can you still super-transition the edge pool?
