" Meihui, was he the one who brought the three girls back to the hotel last night?"
"Yes, that's right. It's almost eleven o'clock now and he's about to leave. The three girls don't seem to have come out yet. It seems that today's breakfast was just sent to the room."
"They were too intense last night. This guy doesn't look old and he's quite good-looking, but I didn't expect him to be a scumbag."
"Yeah, what a scumbag!"
Kato Hiko was helpless as the hotel staff pointed at him. Can you guys be any quieter? You can already hear me clearly from such a distance. Where's the etiquette and discipline of the Japanese?
Kato Hiko was very helpless now. He was quite innocent and also very unhappy.
In the end, he could only ignore the comments of these guys and quickly leave the hotel. After all, he couldn't explain or argue with these guys. If he really blew up the matter, it would be even worse.
It had to be said that with Kato Hiko's current situation, it was necessary to buy a house of his own in Tokyo.
Otherwise, it would be really awkward if a situation like today happened again. Moreover, according to the current situation, the chances of such a situation happening in the future were very high, even very high.
Could it be that he always brought these girls to the hotel to book a room? Although he didn't book the hotel this time, no matter who booked it, it was still a room. In a sense, the hotel staff were right to point fingers at him.
However, for Kato Hiko, who had the Crystal Palace as his target, this was simply too dangerous. There was too little privacy. If any curious hotel staff or guests couldn't help but post a photo of Kato Hiko's condition on the Internet, Kato Hiko could be killed by a straight black girl at any time.
However, with Chiyoda's housing prices, Kato Hiko could not even afford those old apartments that were 40 to 50 years old. The price of these old apartments was about 800,000 to 1.5 million yen per square meter. With Kato Hiko's current wealth, even if these old apartments were built 40 to 50 years ago, Kato Hiko could only afford a toilet.
Therefore, for Kato Hiko, buying a house in Chiyoda was just a thought. He didn't even have to think about building his own Crystal Palace in Chiyoda.
Not to mention setting up a company in Chiyoda in the future. One had to know that the headquarters of the world's largest animation company in Japan, Moonup and Moonrise, were not in Chiyoda.
Who wouldn't want to come to Chiyoda? This represented status and wealth. The key was whether they had the ability. If Kato Hiko's future business could reach the level of the Undying River Bookstore, then there would be no problem at all. The headquarters of the Undying River Bookstore was in Chiyoda, and the three major light novel libraries under the Undying River Bookstore were also in Chiyoda.
Compared to all the large companies that had their headquarters in Chiyoda, the Undying River Bookstore was actually just a small fry. However, even the Undying River Bookstore was a behemoth to Kato Hiko. Therefore, Kato Hiko's goal was really a long way to go.
According to the agreement with Fantastic Literature, Kato Hiko should have come to the library to help yesterday. However, it was obvious that Kato Hiko definitely did not have time yesterday because of his relationship with Shiha.
Therefore, when he came to the office of the chief editor of Fantastic Literature today, Machida Yuanzi's terrifying gaze could kill Kato countless times.
"This is the promotion of the Forbidden Magic Book Catalog. You should understand it yourself first."
It was unknown if she was already speechless with Kato Hiko. Although Machida Yuanzi was quite unhappy with Kato Hiko at this time, she shook her head as if she had given up on treatment and handed the document in her hand to Kato Hiko.
Kato Hiko took a quick look at the document. It was mainly a forecast of the future sales of Kato Hiko's Forbidden Magic Books catalog, as well as the main competitors of the Forbidden Magic Books catalog during the same period.
According to Fantastic's forecast, the sales of the first volume of Kato Hiko's Forbidden Magic Books Index would be between 400,000 to 500,000 copies. This was a rather optimistic figure. According to the forecast section of the document, the evaluation above was so, and the optimistic estimate was between 400,000 to 500,000 copies.
However, he couldn't rule out the possibility that it would fail. Because at this time, almost all the sales of light novels were dependent on one novel. Kato Hiko was very familiar with the name of that novel. It was the novel that he had just read with Shiha yesterday. It was even the original novel of the movie that Kato Hiko liked very much, Recently, My Girlfriend Has Been A Little Strange.
Recently, My Girlfriend Is A Little Weird was based on a popular mobile novel by Thunderbolt Literature. In order to promote this novel, Thunderbolt Literature delayed the publication of this novel. According to the popularity of My Girlfriend Is A Little Weird recently, it could have been published half a year ago.
However, in order to maximize the commercial value of this novel, Reggie Literature chose to release a live-action movie first. It was not like many mobile novels or light novels that released animations to promote themselves. Instead, they directly released a live-action movie. From this, it could be seen that Thunderbolt Literature had confidence in this novel.
After all, live-action movies had limited space and time. Moreover, a movie adapted from a romance novel like this had to have an ending. This would cut out a lot of the plot in the novel. It was even possible to tamper with the ending and plot of the novel in order to make the movie complete. If something went wrong, the live-action movie would become the grave of the original novel. This had happened more than once in the history of ACG.
However, it was obvious that the live-action movie released by Thunderbolt Literature was not a crude live-action movie. The female lead was the most important character in the novel. Thunderbolt Literature invited the most popular and perfect idol in the world, Hoshi Miki, to play the female lead in the novel. Ibuki Iwaido, the perfect idol of all of Japan and the perfect idol of the entire school, was very compatible in terms of appearance and temperament.
In addition to the fact that the original author was the screenwriter and the film company under the Undying River Bookstore was fully involved in the production, this movie became the most popular movie in Japan at this time.
Although the movie's professional reviews weren't very high, it was still very popular. On Thunderbolt Literature's mobile phone website, My Girlfriend's recent strange views had exceeded 30 million. The movie's box office had already exceeded 5 billion yen in less than half a month after its release. In the future, it could even exceed 8 billion or even 10 billion at the box office.
According to the Japanese movie ticket price, each movie ticket was about 2000 yen. If the movie could really break 10 billion, then almost 5 million people would enter the cinema to watch the movie. Generally, people who went to the cinema often could not buy a movie ticket for 2000 yen. Basically, there was a discount.
Therefore, according to the analysis on the document, even if it was just in terms of the number of people, the number of people who watched My Girlfriend's recent movie had exceeded 4 million. Adding on the fact that many of them were only novel fans and not live-action movie fans, the potential sales of this novel was close to 5 million copies!
This was five million copies! How big of an impact would this number have on the light novel industry? Just imagine it. In the light novel world, a volume that could sell two copies was considered a bestseller. A volume that could sell 50,000 copies was considered a hit. A volume that could sell 100,000 copies was considered an outstanding novel of the year.
In fact, Thunderbolt Literature had already printed one million copies of the first edition of the novel. In other words, Thunderbolt Literature was confident that they could sell one million copies in half a month. If it wasn't for the fear of short-term shortage, no one would take the risk to print so many copies.
According to the light novel world, this novel was very likely to set a record for the sales of literature books. The current record for the sales of a single volume of literature books was the detective novel, the first volume of the King of Water, which had sold 3 million copies.
However, the Water King was a traditional novel published in the library, so it wouldn't have any impact on the light novel world at all. But recently, My Girlfriend Is A Little Weird was different. Although this novel wasn't considered a light novel in the orthodox sense, mobile novels were now recognized as a type of light novel by everyone.
Furthermore, Kato Hiko had seen the movie of this novel. As far as the movie was concerned, not only would it attract experienced people, but it would also attract innocent people. Not only would it attract carnivores, but it would also attract artistic youths. What was even more terrifying was that it would attract both boys like Kato Hiko and girls like Shiwa. This was very terrifying.
Although it was just a mobile romance novel, it had a wide audience. At least, it would not be a problem for it to explode Kato Hiko's Forbidden Magic Book List.
And the wider the audience, the greater the number of releases, the greater the impact on the light novel world.
After all, when this novel reached five million copies, those bookstores would definitely promote this novel in their most important positions when they sold books. Other light novels could only be squeezed into the corners and quietly lie there, waiting for the readers to look forward to it.
When the consumers of light novels focused on one novel, it was a nightmare for other novels.
Just like in Kato Kun's previous life, which idiot would launch a smartphone at the same time as Apple? Even if the quality of the phone was very good, when the eyes of consumers and fishing vessels were focused on Apple, not many people would buy other phones no matter how good the quality was.
In fact, the Forbidden Magic Books Index was still okay. After all, this novel was fully promoted and promoted by Fantastic Literature. It could still be considered to have some influence on the fishing boat and publicity. It would not be like a stone sinking into the sea.
However, those novels that weren't the main focus of the big literature houses were tragic. Even if they could obtain the full support of the literature houses, it would be useless if it was only some small and medium-sized literature houses.
And how many novels were able to obtain the full support of the three major libraries? Thunderbolt Literature was now fully supporting Recently My Girlfriend Is A Little Strange, as well as the number one light novel by Undying River Sneaker Literature, The World Is About to End, the new novel by Undying River Sneaker Literature, and the number one newbie novel, Magic Hunter. Of course, with Kato's magic banned book list, only these three novels could stand firm under the impact of Recently My Girlfriend Is A Little Strange.
However, even if I can gain a foothold, I'll have to look at my girlfriend's strange expression recently.
If 'My Girlfriend Is A Little Strange' was still popular or even more popular when the novel was released next week, even if these three novels could gain a foothold, they would probably be burned to ashes. Perhaps, with some of his diehard fans, Yongye might be able to maintain a certain amount of sales.
However, Kato Kun's Forbidden Magic Book Catalog and the first place light novel, Magic Hunter, were the two new novels that were in a bad situation.
"Is the industry really that miserable now?”
After reading the analysis document, even Kato Hiko, who had always been optimistic, broke out in a cold sweat.
It had to be said that according to the report's description, the light novel industry was like the scene when Kato Hiko's previous life was about to release the iPhone. For others, it was simply a crushing defeat.
In other words, the entire light novel world was now trembling under the feet of the author, Shinobu Akiyama, whose girlfriend was a little weird recently!
This guy was too terrifying!
Originally, Kato Hiko had thought that he would be able to do very well in this world with the creativity of his original world. When he saw the name of this author, he was quite shocked.
