339 Isn't it more profitable to print a million copies first than to print fake money?

The conversation with Ryota Tsuchiya was the only episode this morning.,The study after that went very smoothly.,Hiratsuka Shizune, who hasn't seen Kyosuke Hojo for a day, obviously misses it a lot.,Not only do I ask questions in class.,Even when Kyosuke Hojo went to ask for leave at noon, he was "trying to keep it.。

"Alas, I can understand the teacher's affection for excellent students, but Hiratsuka-sensei is also too clingy."

Kyosuke Hojo sighed and said to Yukino, getting rid of Hiratsuka's "bitter pleading", he came to the door under Yukino's send-off, Yukino has no classes in the afternoon, and he plans to leave early.

"Hehe~~ Hojo-kun, your relationship with Xiaojing has also changed a lot now." Yukino raised his hand to cover his mouth and chuckled.

This woman's smile has always been so subtle and gentle, as elegant as an ink painting, as clear and beautiful as the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, with a bend of her eyebrows and eyes, and her laughter is light and cowardly like a little girl.

Kyosuke Hojo has also seen the "big lady-style cheeky chuckle with the back of her hand" disguised by Eiri in school, and others may think that she really has the demeanor of a big lady, but he knows the root of it, but he laughs every time he hurts his stomach, in exchange for Eiri Riri's big change of face and death threats.

Only a woman like Yukino, who has gone through hardships and still does not change her heart, and reveals tenderness from her bones, can have such a charm.

"She said that if she asked for leave like this, she would go to my parents, and I was worried about whether my mother would be bored at home, but I was afraid that Xiao Jing would not be able to escape if she wanted to." Kyosuke Hojo said with a smile.

Well, this is also the reason why Yukino left early, she is well-behaved and wants to cultivate more feelings with her future mother-in-law, otherwise she will stay in school obediently even if there is no class in the past. She is not generally popular at school, not only the boys see her as the dream girl, but even the girls yearn for her and want to be a woman like her. So when class ends, there are always groups of girls running around her, all kinds of chattering non-stop.

There was a driver waiting at the school gate, and Kyosuke Hojo first dropped Yukino to the street near his home before heading to the publishing house.

When I arrived at the publishing house, the promotion meeting had not yet begun, but the people at the publishing house were already busy. Kyosuke Hojo's understatement that it must be released within a week, and the people at the publishing house will break their legs. The first is to correct, although Hojo Kyosuke has already corrected it, but the publishing house has to come again by himself I don't know how many times, after all, they are the first to suffer if something happens. Then there is the binding, including the cover, specifications, layout, binding, printing method, and printing paper, etc.

In addition to these things within the publishing house, there are also publicity, obtaining an ISBN (International Standard Book Number), obtaining copyright registration, and so on...... Even if each person is responsible for one of these things, there are at least dozens of professionals working for him at this moment. There must be more than one Samisaki who didn't sleep last night, at least the people in the design department didn't sleep, because at the moment the design of the cover has been placed in front of Kyosuke Hojo, let him choose.

The cover of the first printing of "The Devotion of Suspect X" was a huge red K on a pure black background, and then an identical red humanoid silhouette was pressed against the letters, that is, Kyosuke Hojo himself, and the title of the book was also listed vertically on the left with red letters. The covers of the reasoning are generally more concise or abstract, far less fancy and light-hearted than the light ones, and there is no more straightforward than those with clear imagery such as "Killing the Girl" or "Masquerade" and "Train".

Like Kyosuke Hojo's new work "The Dream and Death of Writer K", the specific image is only one letter "K", and the design department supervised the related design company scratched his ears and thought about it all night, and finally came up with the optimal solution-

The light sky blue is the background color, and then a large white letter "K" takes up about a quarter of the space, and the usual silhouette of Kyosuke Hojo is also in white, and the title of the work is written below.

As long as you are a fan of Kyosuke Hojo or have seen the first printing of "The Devotion of Suspect X", and see the cover of this teacher's class, you will definitely know that this is Hojo-sensei's new work.

"Isn't it exactly the same as last time!"

Looking at the person in charge of the design department with a complacent face in front of him, Kyosuke Hojo asked speechlessly, although he didn't have any specific requirements, but this was too perfunctory. It can't be said that there is no sense of design, it can only be said that copying is the best designer.

"Huh!? How can it be exactly the same, this is a completely different design concept, okay! ”

The female staff of the design department raised her eyebrows, pointed to the cover and began to explain:

"When designing the cover of "The Devotion of Suspect X", considering that both the plot and Ishigami's love are extremely heavy, a large black is used to render the seriousness, and the blood-red X and humanoid silhouette suggest the protagonist walking in the dark with blood on his hands.

And this book "Writer K's Dream and Death", although the theme is also very profound, but Hojo-sensei, your writing makes it easy and interesting, based on this, we chose blue like the sky, and white like white clouds, you see, is this perfect and the sky is one! ”

The female staff member held the sample data to the window.

Hojo Kyosuke looked up and saw that yesterday's heavy rain had disappeared, and the sky, which had been showing signs of clearing in the morning, was now clear again, but the blue was as clear as the sky.

"It's a lot like a piece cut out of the sky, but what's the point?" He asked.

"Confused, Hojo-sensei! What is the sky? It's a dream! Isn't this the dream of writer K! The blue sky is as far-reaching as people's dreams! The female staff member raised her voice.

"How else can you explain that?"

"Yes, the blue of the sky is a dream, and the white of the clouds is death. The clouds are chased by the wind and disperse in the sky, isn't this a true portrayal of the writer K? As a social animal, he still insisted on his dreams when he was oppressed by society, but when his dreams seemed to come true, he suffered a tragic blow, and he continued to kill people as if he had buried his dreams with his own hands, but looking at him with a happy family in the end, who can say that his dreams are not like dissipating clouds and gathering again? ”

The female clerk said as she stared at Kyosuke Hojo with adoring eyes, reverent and greedy in her eyes, as if she wanted to swallow his whole life:

"It's amazing! Hojo-sensei! An unbeatable masterpiece! ”

Kyosuke Hojo didn't pay attention to this fanatical female fan, but touched the book cover and looked at it carefully, and finally he was convinced that he really didn't have artistic cells, and he didn't feel the things that the other party said. But the blue and white color scheme matches very well, but ......

"It's going to be printed this way, but I'd like the blue to be adjusted a little bit." He said.

"Huh? Hojo-sensei, this color is already the best match, and we have to adjust it countless times before we ......," explained the female staff.

"Well, I know, let's go with this color."

Kyosuke Hojo smiled and nodded in understanding, then took out his phone and clicked on a picture to show the other party.

The picture is Yingli Li, she is pretending to be a big monster to play with Jia Shizi, with teeth and claws, eyes staring at the boss, cute mess. If Ultraman sees such a cute monster, he is afraid that he will never have the motivation to protect the world again, and will only want to pack up this cute monster and find a no-man's planet to bully the little monster all day long.

And what Kyosuke Hojo pointed at was the eyes of Eiri Riri. If you want to use blue, it must be the most beautiful blue in the world.

The female staff of the design department poked her head over, and her delicate face changed her expression instantly.

What's going on? This is a cover design, not a discussion about what color flowers to give on a night date! The first printing was 500,000 copies, and you want to confess in front of these 500,000 people? I'll be serious, this is a big business of hundreds of millions of yen!

Who is this girl!? Damn, it's really cute, but Hojo-sensei is everyone's!

A strong emotion arose in the female staff's heart, and she was familiar with the name of that emotion - jealousy! This made her nose and the corners of her mouth twitch slightly, and she raised her head with difficulty, and she said in a jerky voice:

"Hojo-sensei, although this color is beautiful, it is a little ...... to use on the cover"

"I love this blue, it's the best blue in the world."

Kyosuke Hojo smiled, as gentle as ever:

"Just use this, okay? If this blue and white don't match, adjust the white until it is harmonious. ”

Although Mr. Hojo's attitude is still kind, but the female staff shrinks her neck, and she can no longer have the heart to refute, although she knows that once she agrees to this request and returns to the design department, she will be complained by her colleagues, but she still nodded stubbornly:

"Okay, Hojo-sensei, we'll adjust it as soon as possible."

She stood up and bowed, and was about to leave when she stopped:

"Well, can you send me a copy of the photo?"

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Kyosuke Hojo slapped his head, but he didn't plan to spread such a private photo, and after thinking about it, he said:

"You go to this website, it has a picture of her, it's clearer than mine one."

He found the school website of Toyonosaki Private College and sent it to the school's faΓ§ade, and the outstanding students who were shortlisted for the Tokyo Youth Fair were hung on the "display board" of Toyonazaki all year round to deceive the candidates for the coming year.

"Okay, I got it." The female staff bowed and walked away quickly. All departments are speeding up, and if their departments are slow, they will definitely be scolded and bloody.

After sending off the people from the design department, the editor Akamatsu got up, and the final contract was only now drawn up, because the number and specifications of the printing had not been determined before, and now the meeting was finally over.

"The first printing is determined to be 500,000 copies, the specifications are ordinary single books, the royalty rate has been confirmed with you before, and it still remains unchanged at 15 points, which is already the top in the industry, you know, the tax is ...... by the company as before."

Although he was already familiar with it, the editor of Akamatsu still pointed to the contract and explained it bit by bit.

Similarly, Kyosuke Hojo over there listened carefully, and Samisaki watched seriously.

The three of them discussed for a while, and then revised a few inconsequential small regulations at Shisaki's request. The most important thing is to keep the copyright of animation and film.,The publishing house didn't have any opinion and quickly agreed.,The main thing here is that Sasaki's ambitions have further grown after seeing Akasaka Zhuyin.,I feel that my own company will inevitably become a multimedia company across film and television.。

After Kyosuke Hojo signed his name and pressed the seal, 150 million yen would be credited to his studio's account in the three studios. Now it's not like before, there are more people to support under his hands, and Kyosuke Hojo is not willing to give more money to feed the neon government, and all kinds of tax avoidance methods must be operated, and these Shisaki will be done. If necessary, this guy can even pay a dime in taxes, which is exactly what he is good at.

"If it weren't for such a hurry, the number of prints could have been increased a little more, although the quality is very good, and there is no doubt about your appeal Mr. Hojo, but the club still has some concerns, so it is a little more conservative."

Akamatsu said with regret that the first printing of "The Devotion of Suspect X" was 500,000 copies, and it stands to reason that the great success should now take the step of boldly printing a million times.

Kyosuke Hojo, who has a super brain, clearly remembers that at the celebration banquet held by the publishing house before, the red-faced editor Akamatsu said that he should print 1 million copies directly, which is more profitable than printing fake money.

Now that the number of prints remains the same, isn't it saying that Kyosuke Hojo has not made any progress in recent years? So Akamatsu has a start, which is to appease the emotions of his own author.

Kyosuke Hojo himself didn't think about it so much, 500,000 copies was already a lot, and in such a short period of time, he had to print and distribute goods, and he was worried that the publishing house would come slowly, and it would not be good if he delayed his plan.

"I can understand, just make sure it goes on time." He said with a smile.

"Of course, if I can't do it, I'll immediately cut my abdomen, and cut it horizontally and vertically!" Akamatsu patted his chest and reassured.

"It's not about cutting eels, but also about a Kanto Kansai combination?" Kyosuke Hojo scolded, and the three of them went to the conference room together, where the booksellers and bookstore owners had already arrived.

As soon as I walked into the conference room, I was greeted by a cacophony of voices. It seems that it is not only the staff of the publishing house who are busy, but also the shopkeepers.

Kyosuke Hojo had never been to a pitch meeting, so he didn't know the booksellers very well, but the bookstore owner did have a few familiar faces, all of whom he had met at signing sessions in the past to win the Honya Grand Prix. So as soon as he walked into the conference room, seven or eight shopkeepers immediately stood up to greet him and called out to Hojo-sensei very affectionately.

Thank you for the monthly passes, recommended tickets and tips for your support, thank you.
