Chapter 363 The day the writer dies, the book will become popular
"Akatsuka,"
In a certain office of Shincho Publishing House in Toto, Nerima Ward, the intern editor Goro Akatsuka received a call from the editor-in-chief of the newspaper.
"The book you are talking about, "Strange Love Between Yin and Yang", the manuscript will be proofread immediately. We will work overtime, put down the work at hand, and prepare to print it in three days."
"So fast?"
Although Akatsuka Goro was mentally prepared, he was also surprised, "Will it be possible in three days..."
"We received the document from the East Police Department,"
The editor-in-chief said: "The compilation and printing of this book is no longer a simple market behavior, but a special operation that may save many people. We, Xinchao Publishing House, must overcome difficulties and fully participate, even if we stay up for three days and three nights,
We must also complete the mission!”
…
There are still 6 days left until the rules of the Bearded Witch are enforced.
Dongdu, a certain Internet celebrity bookstore known for its modern and dreamy decoration style.
In an inconspicuous corner, there are some unpopular works by unknown writers on the bookshelf, including "The Strange Love of Yin and Yang".
There were almost no customers nearby.
The three of them, the writer, the living person, and Kasuga, were hiding aside, each holding a copy of "The Strange Love of Yin and Yang" and flipping through it.
Kasuga and the living being were quite engrossed in reading.
From time to time, the living person paused on a certain page for a moment, showing a knowing and dirty smile.
The writer was turning the pages of the book in his hand, but his eyes were scanning the nearby aisle.
Whenever a customer passes by, he always observes the customer's direction with anticipation. When the customer casually walks past the bookshelf, he is inevitably disappointed.
"Stop looking,"
The living person turned over a page of the book and said, "Your eyes seem to be saying to every customer, 'Look at my book! Please, look at my book!' You are simply a professional alms-giver in the literary world."
"
After all the editors and proofreaders of Xinchao Publishing House worked overtime for three days, the author's book was finally released as quickly as possible.
On the first day of the release, the three investigators came to this internet celebrity bookstore to witness the moment when the miracle was born, but...
"They put my books so far away!"
The writer said: "Few people can see it!"
Kasuga: "The bookstore will only place new books by well-known authors and popular books in the most prominent positions... I guess it is probably because of the efforts of the publishing house that your book is higher than before this time.
"
"Haruhi, I seriously doubt whether you are a fan of my books," the writer said, "My book has just come out, how do they know it won't sell well?"
Living Man: “So I told you a long time ago——
Just like you did with the publishing house, directly reveal the identity of the Special Investigation Section, and let all the bookstores in Dongdu put your book at the front where you can see it as soon as you enter the door!
Moreover, we must set up a big counter and put up a bright billboard, which says that the most dazzling new writer in the whole book took eight volumes and nine years, revised his drafts several times, and created a world-shattering masterpiece..."
Writer: "Come on..."
"But I think," Haruhi said, "even if the eight-volume book is placed in the most conspicuous position, it will be difficult to sell well."
writer:"?"
Living person: "Do you have any prejudice against him..."
Kasuga: "It's a fact. We've been here for so long, and it's not like no one is reading the book, but they put the book back after they read the third page at most——
I'm not saying that the quality of the book is not good. This book can withstand repeated readings and the test of time... However, it really needs a period of time to settle.
Or maybe, it needs a touching or tragic story. Maybe, one day, when Bajuan passes away, this book will become a hit."
Writer: "I thank you."
Living person: "I said, have you ever considered publishing an obituary? I heard that only dead artists are great artists."
Kasuga: "In other words, only dead writers are great writers?"
Living person: "I couldn't be more correct. I suggest you read Kafka."
Writer: "Do you two want to help me?"
At this time, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of the bookstore where the best-selling books were placed.
Writer: "What's going on over there?"
Kasuga: "It seems that a new book has been published. I'll go take a look."
Writer: "It's the same writer and the same new book. Why can some people put the book in that position?"
Liver: "You can do it yourself and secretly put the book over there."
Writer: "I still want this basic dignity."
Living Person: "You are actually worried that the clerk will put the book back to its original place soon, right?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw that the writer had already sneaked towards the door of the bookstore with a stack of "Yin Yang Bizarre Love" in his arms.
"I really shouldn't overestimate this guy's limits." The living person shook his head helplessly.
…
After a while, the writer slipped to the door of the bookstore.
A group of young people gathered around the popular bookshelf that greeted the door, each holding a comic with an eye-catching cover pattern in their hands.
"What's going on?"
The writer walked to Haruhi and found that she was also holding a book in her hand, "Whose book are you reading?"
"The latest issue of the comic "Weird Alliance" is now available,"
Kasuga said: "The author, Haruka Yasui, this manga is really amazing."
Writer: "Better than my book?"
"Of course,"
The living person who had just followed also picked up a new issue of "Weird Alliance". At this time, there were not many left on the bookshelf.
"I'm also reading this comic. The world structure, character plots, and terrifying atmosphere are all top-notch. I can't believe that this is a comic created by a weird girl. What I'm looking forward to most is - I
Having dealt with the Weird Alliance, will I also appear in comics one day?"
"That may not be a good thing," Kasuga looked at the writer, "Your works are completely in two dimensions, why bother comparing them with each other."
"Speaking of which, Naya & Associates is really amazing." The living person flipped through the comics with relish, "Not only the movies and TV series are so popular, but now even the comics are selling like this..."
"etc,"
The writer suddenly raised his head and looked at the crowded bookstore in front of him. Suddenly, he had an idea, "I thought of how to get on the best-seller list!"
