Chapter 45: To be continued

The sales of "Spring and Autumn" have nearly doubled.

This news made the editorial department extremely excited, although the sales of "Qiankun Spring and Autumn" have been stable and improving, but the sales have been slowly rising at the speed of snail crawling.

Each issue had three or four thousand more copies than the last, but in this issue, the magazine's sales suddenly increased dramatically.

Not only sales, but also letters from readers flew into the editorial office like snowflakes, and almost all the letters from readers of "Spring and Autumn" pointed to the same work.

"White Night Walking".

"White Night Walking" has been updated to the eighth chapter, and in the past few issues, whether it is a quick report, Xiaozheng, or full statistics, "White Night Walking" has topped the list, and the gap between the votes and the second place is getting bigger and bigger, and it is a well-deserved dark horse work.

Although there is no direct evidence that the sudden spike in sales of "Qiankun Spring and Autumn" magazine is due to the work "White Night Walking", all the editors of the editorial department believe that the increase in magazine sales must have something to do with this head work.

Although the sales of "Spring and Autumn" have been increasing, there has always been a lack of an opportunity to take off, and "White Night Walking" has played a catalytic effect.

The editorial department has finally taken this work seriously, and the sales of "White Night Walking" are estimated to reach 300,000 copies.

This is definitely a bestseller-level sales, and the editors of Spring and Autumn are professionals, and the predictions they give generally do not deviate too much from the results.

So now the publishing house has decided to prepare for the release of the single book of "White Night Walking" in advance, including asking first-class designers to design the book cover and poster, as well as increasing the cost of publicity.

The Spring and Autumn Society decided to create five best-selling novels this year, and "White Night Walking" is one of them. Of course, it is not the most anticipated novel, and the most optimistic book in the editorial department is "Aurora Murder 2", which is still being serialized, and the author is the popular writer Watanabe Ikema.

"White Night Walking" is naturally impossible to compare with "Aurora Murder 2", but Fujiwara Kei, as a newcomer, has just released a work that sells 300,000 copies, which is enough to make people jaw-dropping. In a few years, maybe it will be the second Watanabe Ikema.

Shimada also had a faint sense of remorse in his heart after knowing the predicted sales of "White Night Walking". But overall, he thinks his judgment is still correct, 300,000 copies? Well, for the socialists and newcomers, this is already the culmination.

Anyway, he is now the editor in charge of "Aurora Murder 2", can this book still shake "Aurora"?

The projected sales of "Aurora Murder 2" is 800,000 copies, and as long as the final result meets the prediction, his position as head of the editorial team is secure......

Thinking of this, Shimada secretly breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked at Kazuhiko Itagaki.

excavated "White Night Walking", which is indeed an achievement of Kazuhiko Itagaki, but judging from the failure of a work last year, he can at most be regarded as a merit and demerit that does not threaten his position.

Thinking of this, Shimada smiled confidently.

……

The new issue of "Qiankun Spring and Autumn" began to be serialized again, and Ono Bookstore entered a lot of magazines in this issue, and Ohno Nagaji put a lot of previous issues of "Qiankun Spring and Autumn" on his desk, and then started from the first chapter of "White Night Walking".

The new clerk felt a little strange when he saw Nagaharu Ohno reading novels and magazines so seriously, as if he usually only read pornographic magazines...... Half an hour ago, he hurried back from outside and began to look for the past issues of "Qiankun Spring and Autumn".

As agreed, Kei Fujiwara told Nagaharu Ohno the name of his work and the serial magazine. He originally wanted to wait for "White Night Walking" to be officially serialized before telling him, because as long as he doesn't publish a single book, he is not a real writer, and Fujiwara Kei is the kind of character who can't assert until everything is ready.

But when I went out to shoot, I happened to meet Ohno Nagaji playing small steel balls outside, and I mentioned it to him casually, and Ohno Nagaji was stunned for a moment after hearing it, and then returned to the bookstore, and began to look for previous periodicals without saying a word.

After reading it, Nagaharu Ohno was stunned for a while, and then muttered, "It's just a serial, and it's nothing remarkable...... A single book may not be able to sell. ”

After finishing speaking, I picked up a photo album and read it.

Arima Guixiang looked at the latest issue of "Qiankun Spring and Autumn", subconsciously holding her breath, and her mind was also drawn by the fate of the two protagonists of "White Night Walking" at any time.

And looking at it, this chapter is over again, looking at the familiar "to be continued", Arima Guixiang is a little depressed.

Damn, I have to wait for half a month to read the next chapter......

It's disgusting that Kei Fujiwara, that hungry bastard, refuses to show me the rest of the manuscript!

"Arima-chan." The agent walked over and said, "Get ready, we'll start recording later." ”

"yes, I see." Katsura Arima replied.

She is now recording a variety talk show on Fukuyama TV. The finale of "In the Name of Love" has already aired, but the merchandise and discs of the TV series are still on sale. Now when the heat is high, it is still necessary to cooperate with the TV station for publicity as the main service.

At this time, Arima Katsuraka took out the reader's return visit form from the magazine, took out a ballpoint pen, filled it out, and handed it to the agent, "Miss Takahashi, can you please help me send this?" Please. ”

Takahashi Misei took a look, and found that the "favorite work" on the return visit form was written after the three words white night walk, and smiled, Arima Guixiang seems to be very obsessed with this novel recently, not to mention the period of follow-up, and is very keen to vote for this novel.

"Okay." Takahashi's agent took the return visit form.

"Excuse me, is Miss Arima here?" At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and a woman's voice came in.

Takahashi opened the door and saw a very beautiful woman standing outside the door, bowing to her with a smile.

Who is this man? Is it an entertainer? Mijo Takahashi was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Yui Mizuhara, and I'm the producer of Fukuyamadai, so I'm bothered."

Was it the producer? It's really good-looking...... Could it be that the anchor transformed? Takahashi Mei said sincerely, and hurriedly returned the salute after reacting, but the producer couldn't be lazy.

"You've worked hard, what's the matter?"

"That's right, we are preparing a show recently, called "Human Observation", and we plan to invite Miss Arima as a guest in one episode, I don't know if it's convenient?"

"That's right, we have accepted the invitation of your station's talk show, and we are not considering participating in the same type of program for the time being."

"It's not the same genre, we're pure entertainment." Yui Mizuhara still said with a smile, in fact, she was ready to be rejected before she came, but she still planned to give it a try.

Mijo Takahashi hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is the broadcast time of the show?" ”

Yui Mizuhara sighed inwardly, but still kept a smile on her face: "It's the middle of the night on the moonlight day. ”

Takahashi was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What about the general content of the show?" ”

"It's a variety show similar to a tricky show."

Mijo Takahashi shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Mizuhara, Arima-chan is an actor, and she may appear in Taiga dramas soon, and we need to maintain her professional image, so it's still inconvenient to participate in tricky variety shows." ”

Takahashi Micheng's worries are actually not unreasonable, and now many late-night variety shows are known for their bottomless appearances, and many artists are all taken care of by them. What cake slaps the face, the floor collapses into the water, and then the ugly state is captured with a camera.

For young artists, this may be an opportunity to increase exposure, but for artists like Arima Guixiang, who already have a certain degree of popularity, this will only degrade the image and attract the disgust of the academic school in the broadcasting industry.

"I understand, excuse me." Yui Mizuhara didn't force it, and when she saw that the other party didn't agree, she smiled and was about to leave.

"Tricky show?" At this time, Ma Guixiang suddenly asked, "Is it a show like a giggle?" ”

"It's a similar show, and ...... separately"

Yui Mizuhara added, "The giggling screenwriter is our main planner. ”

"Oh?" Arima Katsura raised her eyebrows, "Your main planner is Keina Fujiwara?" ”

Yui Mizuhara was stunned for a moment: "Miss Arima knows Fujiwara-kun. ”

"Hmm." Arima Guixiang answered, suddenly looked down at the magazine on the table, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
