The Tale of Genji.
This was the second work after Akutagawa Ryunosuke that made people feel the charm of classical literature.
And it would be explosive.
This was the firm confidence of everyone at Blue Literature Press. Even old bookworms like them were attracted by it, so how could it not be popular?
Some people even hoped that it could be published earlier, so that literary youths and girls who still had dreams could see it earlier.
…………………………
In the publishing house of Green Literature.
Today was the release date of the Tale of Genji, and it was a crucial battle for everyone.
In troubled times, heavy laws were used, and Qing's literature also needed to be destroyed once before it was established.
Therefore, they directly downloaded all the works that were originally scheduled for the same period, leaving only some space for short stories.
Then, he gave all his resources to the Tale of Genji.
It could be said that this issue of the magazine was mainly about the 100,000 words of the Tale of Genji!
They were prepared to use these 100,000 words to revive the dead!
In other words, he was staking everything on this.
Naturally, everyone was extremely excited.
"Beep beep!"
At this moment, the managing editor's phone rang.
The caller ID showed that it was Hirakawa Bunkun.
It was also the library that had placed their light novels here for printing.
At the same time, it was also the library that requested a lower price.
It was probably because more than a dozen of their light novels had the opportunity to be adapted into anime and some of them had been adapted into games, so they had become very proud.
Therefore, they began to reduce costs.
Then, the unlucky one was the Blue Literature Press, which was the contract manufacturer for them.
However, he was angry before, but it was clearly different now.
" Hehe," Mr. One Color said directly." We're about to rise up. If you want to exploit us, go ahead and exploit others!"”
"The most important thing in life is to have a conscience!”
"You guys are trying your best to lower the price and then ask others to expand the production.”
After saying that, Mr. One Color pressed the button to end the call.
Boss is tough!
This made the editors who were watching feel high-spirited.
This Hirakawa Literature was simply shameless. After he had achieved glory, they had actually started to squeeze the costs internally.
He even gave them some time to consider.
In the end, they rejected Hirakawa Literature yesterday.
He would no longer contract for the light novels of Hirakawa Bunkun.
Meanwhile, Hirakawa Literature wanted to keep them hanging, so they considered increasing it by 1%.
However…
Who cares about you!
Because…
Their machines were currently printing their own works, so they were unable to give any shares to Hirakawa Literature.
"Boss, is the 50,000 copies we printed enough?”An editor asked.
That's right.
Although they promised Su Yang that they would definitely print 30,000 copies, they were very confident.
He felt that he could sell it for not just 30,000, but even 50,000.
"30,000…Hehe, 50,000…You guys are still underestimating our Blue Literature.”The chief editor, Mr. Ishizuki, said," The number below me is 100,000 copies!”
100,000!
One had to know that the sales of the first issue of Green Literature in the entire capital were only 6000.
And now, the managing editor had directly offered 100,000 yuan!
The editor who came to ask the question was stunned.
Because this was really a big deal!
However…
All the editors were very confident in the publication of the magazine of the same name, Blue Literature 2334.
This was because at their most glorious time, the first phase of the impurity reached a peak of 88,000 yuan.
But that was more than ten years ago.
Now that the economy had improved a lot, there were more people reading novels. In addition, there had been no good works for a long time.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of a good work was enough to attract everyone's attention!
And just now, he had already asked the supplier to ship out the printed issue 2334 of Blue Literature.
Therefore, he was waiting for their news.
Of course, everyone was still full of confidence.
Because the editor-in-chief wanted to create the Tale of Genji this time, he hoped that the Tale of Genji could save them, so he used all his connections.
He even made an exception and asked the suppliers to gather together.
Then, he let them try out the Tale of Genji.
It received excellent reviews.
See, smart people and discerning people all have the same thoughts.
The Tale of Genji could become popular! Blue literature was about to enter everyone's field of vision again!
Therefore, with the assurance of the suppliers, the chief editor's ambition might become a reality.
…………………………
The people from the publishing firm gathered in the conference room.
It was now 12 o'clock, and it was already lunchtime, but no one was absent.
Because everyone wanted to know how the sales had been throughout the morning.
Then, the live broadcast came back.
"Shanmu, how's the situation?"
They had appointed the literary girl Shanmu to do the live broadcast and report the situation back at any time.
Because she was young, it was the easiest for her to blend in with the ordinary readers.
Moreover, they had assigned her to the largest bookstore in Kyoto, Tsutaya Bookstore.
From the popularity of this place, one could deduce the distribution situation in various places. The Tsutaya Bookstore alone had taken 30,000 out of their 100,000-volume plan.
The other party's boss also felt that it could be sold.
After that.
Everyone listened carefully.
Then, he saw Miss Shanmu's nervous face.
"Y-everyone…"
" An entire morning has passed…and we've sold five…"
Yes.
Everyone was listening attentively.
Was it five thousand?
Sure enough, he received a huge promotion from the supplier. It was indeed not bad to sell it for 5,000 yuan in one morning.
Then, 30,000 yuan was enough to digest.
With this thought in mind, Nanri Kazuko noticed Shanmu's expression.
"Since it's 5000 copies, why do you still have to show such a bitter face?”she said.
Ah.
Everyone also noticed Shanmu's expression.
He didn't look happy.
Could it be…
Everyone's heart clicked.
"If it's 500 copies, although it's a little disappointing, it's still acceptable. After all, selling books isn't something that can be done in a day.”An editor comforted Miss Shanmu.
Because Miss Shanmu looked like she was about to cry.
However, in the face of her companions 'comfort, Miss Shanmu quickly shook her head.
"Only five books were sold!" Shanmu said. "Although the bookstore has put up a banner to recommend it, no one is interested.”
"Only five books were sold!" Shanmu said.
!!
When he heard this news, the managing editor, Mr. Ishizuki, almost fainted.
