I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 45 The Time of Fighting
After the act of sitting cross-legged in the yard warming the fire at night.

Scenes like this happen every day.

Although it was the first generation who said something every time, Kitajima Koma responded once or twice from time to time.

But it's much better than the stiff feeling when the two of them got along before.

Just after two people dug holes in the yard.

"Snow Country" is about to be released.

When Oshima Kazu also received the complete manuscript, he had already urged the proofreading department to start the process.

For this reason, Oshima Kazuya once again resorted to a non-disclosure agreement.

So much so that such a rumor is circulating inside Xinchao.

If you see Mr. Oshima walking towards you with a serious look holding a file bag, you will have a chance to make money.

The money earned is naturally the hush money after signing the non-disclosure agreement.

What was sealed was the contents of the complete Snow Country, but the news about integrating all the fragments and publishing the book was not blocked.

When they knew that Xinchao was going to do such an outrageous thing, people in other journals couldn't understand it.

"Scattered a book and published it in periodicals, and then finally integrated and published the book separately. Why?"

At the literary group meeting, the editor-in-chief asked this crucial question: "What does he want to do?"

What does this trendy guy want to do?
"From the beginning, a blank writer was published in a brand new journal, to the so-called Dassaiya haiku, and now to an integrated publication.

Can anyone tell me what Xinchao wants to do? "

After the editor-in-chief's inquiry, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

They don't know this question either.

Ever since Xinchao began to make drastic moves, they couldn't understand it anymore.

Originally the most stable journal, the actions it makes are the same as a journal that has just been established and wants to attract attention.

"I've read that article, and it's really good, but I don't think it's enough to pay for it alone." An editor raised his hand and said: "Those articles in the journal are put together to form a whole article, starting from the purchase price. Looking at it, the price of this integrated version is definitely much more expensive.”

"I know all these problems." The editor-in-chief pondered for a while: "But you must know that the trend is still the trend. Has the promotion of our main book at this time started?"

"It is expected to be launched on the market next week."

And at this time, a voice came from the corner: "Isn't it going to snipe us?"

As soon as the voice came out, the entire meeting room fell silent.

The editor-in-chief's face darkened for a moment.

"Snipe..." an editor said weakly: "It's not possible to use a book that has already been published."

"Mirror of Mujing is nothing more than beautiful writing. Our main focus can directly fit the current social background."

"We have been preparing this book for a long time. After repeated demonstrations, everyone has come to the conclusion that it can reach the level of bestsellers. What will the trendy fight against us?"

Although everyone present rationally analyzed the current situation, it was basically a game with a relatively high chance of winning, but they didn't know it in their hearts.

The reason is simple.

Because that is trendy.

The word trendy can represent a lot.

And all the editors here just said that the behavior of integrated sales is a bit incomprehensible, and they also said that it is possible that the market will not pay for it.

But no one said that the book was badly written.

Let me ask everyone here, how many writers who have the skills to write such articles have seen it.

At least so far, the one with that level is Professor An Tan.

But he doesn't currently have any plans to publish a book.

Therefore, everyone talked and talked, and finally fell silent.

A thought slowly diffused in the hearts of everyone.

"No, it's really a precise sniper, right?"

At this time, the editor-in-chief asked suddenly: "Who is in charge of this book?"

"Oshima Kazuya." The lower person quickly replied.

"He also? He has always been very Buddhist."

There are not a few people who know He Ye.

"But I heard that these revisions were made by Kazuya."

"He is an old editor, and everyone in the circle knows his character. He will not make such a bold move."

Everyone fell into silence again.

Xinchao didn't do anything, which made them feel so passive.

This usually doesn't happen at all.

Is this a lack of confidence in myself or...

"We had one or two successful sniping cases before, and Xinchao is not invincible." The editor-in-chief said aloud as the atmosphere began to decline.

"What we know now is that what Xinchao took out this time is the mirror of Mujing, which is equivalent to showing the cards in their hands to play." The editor-in-chief looked around, he needed to stabilize his morale at this time.

Before Wenyi Chunqiu and Xinchao, there was no obvious strength or weakness.

It's just that the selection tastes of each journal are different.

There's nothing to be afraid of just for that.

The editor-in-chief patted the table: "Just follow the plan, but we must work hard on publicity. At least the power of the unknown is far greater than the known."

This time, Wenyichunqiu specially chose this time point to carry out the action, aiming at the blank period in it.

The major journals did not move, and there was no movement on the Newcomer Award.

Coupled with this period of time, many writers have no desire to write books.

All the other conditions were added together, and Wenyi Chunqiu found a golden node.

So much hard work and preparation.

You can't be defeated by a blank slate writer, right?
"If... Xinchao didn't choose journals in advance, but directly chose physical publishing, maybe it's really not easy to fight, but now it's nothing more than fried rice."

With such words, everyone's morale began to pick up.

A war without any smoke is about to begin.

Both sides are intensively preparing.

Waiting to eat the market for a while with my flagship book.

It's just that Kazuya Oshima didn't bother with issues like cover design and typography.

He focused more on publicity.

Oshima Kazu also believed in one thing.

No matter how excessive the publicity is, "Snow Country" is worthy of it!

If possible, he would like to write slogans such as works that can win the Nobel Prize.

This time integrating the newly released "Snow Country", Kazuo Oshima also directly invited many literature professors to write recommendations for this book.

Thus, a vigorous campaign officially began.

#Recommended by many literature professors#
#A Dreamland That Belongs Only to Neon People#
#Heartbreaking beauty of nothingness#
#Ethereal, distant, sad, is the eternal theme#
#Taoyuan Township of This Era#
