NOVEL WEB Chapter 27
Chapter 27
“On the first Saturday, Wanben, ranked No. 1 in sales in Sanhe Library. The game between me and Xia Shizi, so I won.”
Li Yan looked at Ying Lili with a stunned look, and said.
…
“The books we wrote sold 60,000 in the first week. Now the light novel area of major bookstores stocks a large amount of our fourth volume of light novels. Basically, most of the stores are in an anxious period of out of stock. Kagura Editor Saka told me that on the first day I heard, my book fans suddenly called to queue up to buy books, but on the first day of sales… more than 30,000 copies were sold. Animation production companies and game companies have already gone there. He Wenku, I hope to reach a cooperation with me as soon as possible for the animation of the fourth volume and the opening of the new game map… Basically, it sells very well… right.”
There were stars shining around Li Yan, and he said happily.
“…”
“Sixty, sixty thousand!!”
Ying Lili suddenly shouted in surprise.
The sales volume of 60,000 books per week has almost refreshed the record of Sanhe Library, and even far exceeded the sales volume of 5,000 copies per week by Qianshou Village Zheng. Li Yan has really become a veritable Uesugi old thief. .
“…Is the news true?” Ying Lili asked excitedly.
“Yes, the sales are only the sales that ended yesterday. If we count today, maybe our book sales are not just these, it is estimated that they will exceed 70,000.” Li Yan said calmly.
Ying Lili was so happy that she rushed over, put her arms around Li Yan’s neck, tears in her eyes, and laughed and said, “Finally, finally, you have worked hard. Li Yan, you worked so hard, and we worked so hard. Finally… The dream has come true!”
“These days, it’s been so hard for you, Ying Lili.”
Li Yan was caught off guard, but he felt that Ying Lili was so relieved with everyone’s hard work these hours. He gradually got up with joy, looked at Ying Lili’s blonde hair, and whispered: “After you finish your manga, I will take you and another hero to eat out for a meal. Please also please in the future and work hard to advance in the cause we love.”
To celebrate with your partner, for the time being… it’s an expression of true feelings.
However, Ying Lili also realized that even with the astonishing sales of 70,000 copies, she did not see Li Yan’s complacent expression of triumphant and master style. On the contrary, she couldn’t understand it and couldn’t let it go. Let go of Li Yan, blushing, and stepping back a bit, curiously asked: “Wait a second, you sell 70,000 novels a week, why do you look unhappy at all?”
Li Yan was taken aback for a moment.
“Of course I am happy, I don’t know how happy it is, but after being happy on the phone, my happiness can only be happy for a few minutes. After all, my journey has to go on, giving me the confidence to continue writing. This novel, but after calming down, I cared about the sales of Xia Shizi…” Li Yan continued thinking.
“…So, what is her sales volume? After all, she is famous before you, and has always been a popular writer. You have 70,000 copies, and she has at least 40,000 copies.” Ying Lili asked curiously. .
“…As of yesterday, only 11 thousand copies of “Love Metronome” have been sold.”
Li Yan said.
Suddenly, Ying Lili seemed to feel that she had heard it wrong.
After all, the fifth volume of “The Metronome of Love” should be the one with the most exciting part of the plot in all the series of Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu.
“So I won, and it directly surpassed the other party’s sales by almost six times, and completely won Xia Shizi.” Li Yan said.
…
When Li Yan heard about the sales of Xia Shizi on the phone from Kagurazaka Ayame, he was taken aback. He also didn’t believe that Xia Shizi’s sales would be so bad.
Li Yan, who had exhausted all resources to defeat Xia Shizi, even wanted to win in his dreams, but he never hoped that his opponent would lose like this.
Like Wu Chi, he was eager to fight and win, but he never longed to let the opponent really lose in the fight, not on his own.
“What are you kidding?” At that time, Li Yan frowned and blurted out.
Ten thousand copies… almost one-third of the fourth volume of “The Metronome of Love”.
“Xia Shizi, what are you doing…” Li Yan thought about this.
The indifferent girl who used to be in the hotel and made him feel pressured, just like this, she fell.
Before Ying Lili left, she said that perhaps it was the beginning of school, and the teenage readers had not yet had time to travel and other market judgments, but Li Yan felt that Xia Shizi had made some mistakes herself.
There was a sudden flash of thunder in the sky, and gradually, it rained.
It’s so pattering, it makes people feel a bit lonely.
Li Yan looked at the sky.
[Ding Dong. 】
The line of the mobile phone issued a reminder. Li Yan picked up the mobile phone and looked at it. There was a text message on the line that shocked him all over.
—[Xia Shizi: To fulfill the promise of the competition, we will meet at the coffee shop at No.15 Zuosing Street, Koto District, Tokyo at 3 o’clock this afternoon. 】
Chapter 23 Looking for Encounters in the Police Station
Rustle…
It was raining heavily outside, and even Kagurazaka Ayame, who had been busy at work, was attracted. She walked to the window of her office, opened the blinds, and saw the gray rain scene.
“It rained so much,” Kagurazaka Ayame said to himself.
Summer is about to come, and the weather will change as soon as it changes, just like a girl’s mind. The sun was still shining an hour before, and it was like this after an hour.
The fifth volume of Xia Shizi’s “Love Metronome” has been sold. So far, it has only reached 11,653 copies. It should be said that it is the worst sales performance among the first-line writers.
Kagurazaka Ayame thought quietly, “Xia Shizi, can you survive this test?”
After all, based on her professional knowledge and experience, Kagurazaka Ayame has long determined that the fifth volume of “The Metronome of Love” will repeat the same mistakes. When the first volume started writing as a novice, Kasumi Shiko simply put her fantasy romance into it. In the story, although the writing style is very amazing and the plot is also interesting, it ignores the operating requirements of the market, that is, the plot is too flat and the characters lack mature cuteness, so after encountering the cold sales results, let her and the previous The editor has no plans to reprint.
Then, after Kagura Sakachobu carefully read Kasumi Shiko’s first book, he chose to keep it and took a huge risk. He became the editor in charge of Kasushiko and took the initiative to retain Kasiko Shiko to stay in Sanhe. After the library, he was responsible for the review and sale of the next novel series.
As a result, she really lived up to her expectations. The second volume of Xia Shizi began to take a turn for the better. The story became more and more exciting. By the time the fourth volume was released, the sales totaled 420,000 copies. Hot sale in one roll.
Therefore, she herself and Xia Shizi have experienced many storms together, and she can be regarded as an editor and author who trusts each other.
Suddenly, Kagurazaka’s phone rang.
“Ok?”
Kagurazaka Ayame was taken aback for a moment, and the caller ID of the mobile phone appeared to be a call from the illustrator Eiri Kashiwagi.
“Hey, Mr. Kashiwagi, why would you have time to call me?” Kagurazaka Ayame asked with a smile.
— [You can still laugh… Ms. Kagurazaka. 】
Ying Lili asked with a sigh.
Kagurazaka Ayame curiously asked, “What’s wrong?”
— [I have heard about Xia Shizi, the volume of her latest work seems to be only 11,000 copies sold… This should be her worst performance since her debut. 】
“Well, it’s like this right now… Did Mr. Uesugi tell you about sales?” Kagurazaka Ayame asked for a moment after thinking about it.
Ying Lili’s voice suddenly hesitated.
