"What's the news?"

Hanyu Hideki was a little curious, did he have any inside story about winning the award.

"At the beginning of the awards, Hanyu-san's work was actually ......"

Next, Eri Kitahara told her what she had heard.

After listening to Eiri Kitahara's words, Hideki Hanyu realized that the easy award he thought he thought did not exist at all.

This picture book contest seems to be a fair competition, but to put it bluntly, it is just a cake-sharing activity in the picture book circle, and the new writers who have the opportunity to win the award are either students of a certain senior, or they are from a certain faction.

Originally, he was a wild contributor with no teacher, no background, and no qualifications, and he was not even qualified to enter the award candidate, let alone win the award.

But an accident happened, and the judge of the award committee, Gomi Taro, fell in love with this book "Crocodile Afraid Dentist Afraid" at the first glance of Hanyu Hideki's work.

not only strongly supported "Crocodile Afraid of Dentist Afraid" to enter the shortlist of Fuji TV Excellence Awards, but also mobilized its own relationship with the award committee in the final selection to help "Crocodile Afraid of Dentist Afraid" successfully win the award.

Knowing everything, Hideki Hanyu was extremely glad that he had chosen what he liked at that time, and if he had chosen other works on an impulse at that time, he would probably have nothing to do with winning the award.

However, Lao Tzu said that blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings depend.

After relying on Gomi Taro to win the award alone, the consequences were also revealed, and the low reputation of the other judges directly affected the judgment of the Shogakukan sales department, and finally gave the decision to print 1,000 copies for the first time.

……

In Shibuya's Honmachi apartment, it was already the second day after meeting Eri Kitahara, and after knowing that it was impossible to increase the number of first printing, Hideki Hanyu signed the contract for the first printing.

After all, if you sign it, you still have a chance, and if you don't sign it, you won't even have a chance.

Knowing the reason for his award from Eri Kitahara was a small blow to his self-confidence and made him understand that the traverser is not omnipotent.

At this moment, he decided that the reasons why "Crocodile Scared Dentist Scared" would sell well immediately after its release were not convincing enough.

Although I still believe that "Crocodile Afraid of Dentists Afraid" is a good work and will be recognized sooner or later, the number of first prints of only 1,000 copies will undoubtedly have a great impact on the sale.

With the first printing of 1,000 copies, there is no need to count on the density of distribution, which means that the spread of influence will be very slow, and it will be difficult for readers' word-of-mouth to form a scale.

After the work is released, it will not be possible to form strong reader feedback in a short period of time, and the sales time of 1,000 copies may be very long, even if the quality of the last work is recognized, when will it be reprinted, and when will the second work be released.

This has a huge impact on Hanyu Hideki's plan to make money, and he absolutely cannot accept it.

For the sake of sales, he must act, and the previous idea of lying flat and waiting for sales to fly by word of mouth will definitely not work.

But how to increase sales, if he has money, he will buy a bunch of newspaper pages, and even directly play TV commercials, under the large-scale publicity, a thousand copies are simply drizzle.

But the problem is that if he wants to be so rich, he might as well buy the 1,000 copies himself.

In fact, even if there is, you can't do this, is it really a blind person when the publishing house in the industry is blind, this kind of small action is simply self-defeating.

Is there any other way? Ad...... TV......

That's right! It's TV.

Fuji TV will broadcast the award ceremony live next Wednesday, so it is important to take advantage of this live broadcast.

As for how to use it, looking at his shadow reflected in the window glass, is there any better option?

"Originally, I only wanted to rely on my talent to eat, why did you force me to use my appearance?"

"It doesn't seem like it's enough to achieve the publicity effect on its own, right?"

"Something else has to be done."

……

"Moxi Moxi, is it Yukio-san?" Hideki Hanyu dialed Yukio Tanaka's house.

"It's Hanyu-kun, what's the matter?"

"I remember Yukio-san saying that his family's garment factory can make suits."

"Of course you can, is it Hanyu-kun who wants to make it to order, and you shouldn't need to wear formal clothes to work in Asako Sanna." Yukio Tanaka asked strangely.

"There is a picture book contest held in the Shogakukan, and if I was interested, I submitted it, but I didn't expect it to win a prize, and I will be on TV live next Wednesday, so I need to wear formal clothes." Hideki Hanyu explained.

"What? Hanyu-kun won the Shogakukan Picture Book Award? Doesn't that mean that Hanyu-kun is going to become a writer, why didn't you say such an important thing earlier? ”

Hearing that Hideki Hanyu had won the award, Yukio Tanaka jumped up from the sofa violently, feeling happier than he had won the award.

"Isn't this telling Yukio-san?"

Yukio Tanaka didn't bother to ask any more questions, and said directly, "I'll drive to pick up Hanyu-kun and go to the garment factory together." ”

In this way, Hideki Hanyu got into Yukio Tanaka's car and came all the way to Ota Ward, in front of Yukio Tanaka's garment factory.

Before he came, he had always thought that Yukio Tanaka's garment factory was just an ordinary factory building, with one sewing machine after another, and many female workers stepped on the sewing machine to work.

But looking at the huge factory area with Tanaka's clothes hanging in front of him and not being able to see the edge at a glance, he understood that he had underestimated the wealth of the former president, no wonder he was able to support him for two years before he was stopped from supplying.

"The garment factory in Yukio-san's house is really big enough, and if there is no one to lead the way, I'm afraid I will get lost."

"It's all the accumulation of ancestors, but I did get lost here when I was a child, and I'm interested in taking Hanyu-kun around next time, so let's make clothes first."

Yukio Tanaka took Hideki Hanyu to a dressing room, where a master tailor was already waiting.

Accompanied by the heir of the garment factory, the tailor was naturally extremely thoughtful, and after carefully measuring the size, he seriously inquired about Hanyu Hideki's requirements for customization.

Hideki Hanyu came to customize it, and of course he had his ideas.

Never want the fat version of today's neon, the hem of the top should not be too long, the length of the pants should not be piled up on the instep, the waistline should be tightened, and the overall fit of the body line......

Watching Hideki Hanyu communicate with the tailor, Yukio Tanaka joked, "I think Hanyu-kun can definitely be a fashion designer even if he is not a writer." ”

"I feel like I'm really talented in that." Hideki Hanyu, who has already made several clothes, doesn't know what modesty is at all.

The customization time was tight, and Hideki Hanyu saw the tailor start working, and left with Yukio Tanaka in order not to cause an impact.

As soon as the two of them came out of the wardrobe, they saw a group of people entering the factory, led by a man who was not tall, but very energetic, and was about the same age as Yukio Tanaka.

"It wasn't long before I heard from my family that the business of Tanaka-kun Performing Arts Office was over, and it seems that we are really going to inherit the family business when we meet here so soon."

When the man saw Yukio Tanaka, he took the initiative to come up to say hello, not only calling him intimate, but also directly hugging his shoulder and patting him.

"It's really limited in ability, and the family is unwilling to support it, so I will rely on Yanai-kun to take care of it in the future."

Yukio Tanaka pretended to be a defeated dog, which caused the man known as Yanai-kun to laugh.

However, after pretending, Yukio Tanaka did not forget Hideki Hanyu beside him.

"Hanyu-kun, this is Yanai Masa, a good friend of mine and I grew up with."

"Yanai-kun, this is Hideki Hanyu, who just won an award in the Shogakukan Picture Book Contest, and is a great writer in the future."
