Because his typing efficiency had greatly increased, Su Yang had to make coffee and finish the hellish 100,000-word deadline overnight.
Tada!
His fingers typed the last character of the hundred thousand words on the external keyboard.
"Genji couldn't help but peep at the Third Princess. He felt that she was even more beautiful than others.”
She was sitting on a green cotton mattress with a lute in one hand and a plectrum in the other. Her posture and expression were extremely elegant, just like the orange branches in early May, with fragrant flowers and fruits.”
This was the final content of the 100,000 words.
However, this was not all. In Su Yang's world, the Tale of Genji was a million-word work. However, even if it was a work, there were many controversial points or places that made the work lose its value.
Therefore, some modifications were needed.
Naturally, as a defensive member, he would also remove some meaningless grenades such as FC.
Even so, to complete this work, it would require at least 800,000 words.
Therefore, the 100,000 words were only the first and second volumes.
………………
Su Yang took a sip of the coffee on the table, but found that it was cold.
That's right.
It was now six in the morning. He had already stayed up all night. With his god-level physical skills and the effect of coffee, he maintained a speed of 8,000 words per hour on the keyboard.
Then, it lasted for nine hours.
And now, the work had finally come to an end.
After refilling his cup of coffee, Su Yang quickly read through the 100,000 words he had written and made some changes and minor adjustments to the typos, he took out the business card that Nanri Kazuko had given him.
[Blue Literature-Nanri Kazuko
telXXX]
Su Yang turned over the business card and entered the email address that Hiwako had written on the back into the computer. Then, he sent the first and second volumes of the Tale of Genji.
After doing all this, Su Yang heaved a sigh of relief.
He pasted a note at the door that said," Don't wake me up during the day. I'll catch up on sleep." Then he went back to bed.
After staying up all night, he had to replenish his strength.
After finishing his work, he lay on the bed. Under the gentle comfort of the bed sister and the quilt sister, Su Yang quickly fell asleep.
Soon, it was ten in the morning.
…………………………
On the other side.
Liu Qing's literary talent.
Blue Literature was an old publishing house in Tokyo. It was their responsibility to commemorate and promote classical literature. However, now that classical literature was gradually abandoned, they had to take on many other jobs to make a living.
This was because the sales volume of their literature in the Tokyo area was only 5,000 to 6,000 copies per month.
The income, excluding the cost and the part for the dealers, could not even afford the salaries of the employees.
Therefore, although it was embarrassing, they could only use their own equipment to publish their rival's light novels to make a living.
"Eh-"
They went to work at nine o'clock every day and had a meeting at ten o'clock.
It was the same today. However, it was slightly different.
The managing editor, Mr. Ishizuki, was very angry.
He was on the phone.
"This is really going too far!"
After shouting at the phone, he hung up.
This made the small editors who knew about the financial situation this quarter and found that they were close to the deficit panic.
They were afraid of being laid off.
Once you were laid off in Japan, the situation would be very miserable. First of all, because of the experience of being laid off, you would look for a new company. Other companies would look down on you indiscriminately.
Moreover, if she could enter a new company, she would be bullied.
Especially when they were very old, they would be bullied.
This was because they didn't care about your age, but whether you were a newcomer or not.
Therefore, if they changed jobs, their living environment would suddenly become worse.
However, Blue Literature's current situation had also reached the point where they had to lay off employees to maintain their income and expenditure. Everyone was very worried that this unlucky fate would fall on them.
And now, the editor-in-chief was quite angry!
………………
"Meeting!"
The managing editor, Mr. Ishizuki, sat at the round table. "First of all, I have to inform you of something.”
"Kadokawa Literature, our partner, is using sales to pressure us. They want to reduce the printing and processing fees by another 3%.”
"At the same time, they need to increase the number of copies. Increases current workload by 30%.”
"And if we don't agree, they will choose another publishing house to publish it.”
His words stirred up a thousand waves.
Everyone finally understood why the editor-in-chief was so angry.
This was because the works that he promoted were not selling well and were even losing money.
Therefore, they could only take over the work of other libraries and publishing houses, providing their own equipment and materials to process and publish novels for them.
However, even with such hard-earned money, the other party still wanted to lower the price.
He even said that it would be reduced by 3%. This was almost pushing down the cost line.
Although he had proposed a 30% increase in the number of copies, the remuneration did not increase.
Counting.
But wasn't this just working for the other party for free?
Everyone needed to work overtime!
However, if they did not agree, the cost of Kadokawa Literature, which could cover a large amount of their income, would become 0.
It was simply killing people.
"If…if our own publication could make money, we wouldn't have fallen to this state.”
An editor suddenly said.
“……”
"…" The meeting room fell silent.
This was a sore spot.
Because they didn't have any good works, they even tried to reprint Akutagawa Ryunosuke's manuscript, but they were criticized by readers and had to give up.
However, the current situation was that no one read the books of the old authors who had signed long-term contracts, and the newcomers did not come. Some of them even wrote badly.
The sales volume was getting lower and lower, and they could not make ends meet.
Therefore, the only possibility was to hope that there would be a strong enough work to pull the readers back.
"I'm sorry." Kazuko Minami, who was in charge of organizing the Akutagawa Prize, suddenly said. " I was hoping to find some good candidates for the Akutagawa Prize, but now…there are less than 10 participants."
"This is not your fault." The managing editor, Mr. Ishizuki, said immediately. He knew about Kazuko's background.
Not only was the other party a top student, but he also came from a wealthy family. Moreover, he was the president's classmate.
Therefore, no one could criticize her.
