Zongman: The glory of the foundation lasts forever

Yoshikage Kira asked, "Don't you think it's strange that Immortal River Bunko focuses on youth romance, but it turns out to be pushing a novel about fantasy combat?"

"There's nothing we can do."

Machida Sonoko smiled wryly.

Dengeki Bunko itself focuses on fantasy battles, so it is a bonus for them to promote "Fantasy Demon Sword".

Because a copy of "Fantasy Demon Sword" can also promote the sales of other novels of the same type.

But the Undead River library is different.

Even if they really pushed "The Death of King Arthur" and succeeded in overturning "Fantasy Demon Sword" in terms of sales.

But so what?

This in itself is fueling the fantasy combat genre.

It will not drive the sales of Undead Sichuan Bunko's works with youthful love elements, but will further squeeze its living space.

Unless the Immortal Chuan library transforms from now on, letting its light novel writers rewrite fantasy fighting books.

But it was too late.

After all, the ready-made foundation of the Dengeki library is there, and the benefits they will get will only be greater than that of the Undead Sichuan library.

"Drink poison to quench thirst."

Yoshikage Kira made a conclusion without hesitation.

"Teacher Xu Yuanxuan is still as sharp as ever."

Machida Sonoko was helpless, what else could she say?

"So, wouldn't it be better to promote a novel with youthful love elements?"

Yoshikage Kira issued a soul torture.

"Can't do it."

Sonoko Machida spread her hands and said with a wry smile, "We don't have such works."

The audience of the daily element of youth love is not as low as fighting fantasy.

But the problem is that most youth love works are not enough to impress people.

For example, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu——

The cumulative sales volume of her works has exceeded 50 volumes, and the average volume of more than [-] volumes is already a very good achievement.

But apart from the reasons for the publicity and her own excellent writing, it is also because she bears the name of a beautiful girl writer.

Immortal River Library is using such gimmicks to increase sales.

On the other hand, Qianshou Village Zheng is also a beautiful girl writer.

But she doesn't need to reveal her identity to increase sales, because she doesn't need to.

Another example is Teacher Eromanga, everyone who knows her thinks she is a middle-aged greasy uncle, a disgusting fat house.

But his popularity is still high.

There is also no need to reveal that she is a petite, fair-skinned, and cute-looking beautiful girl.

This is the gap.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu is good, but she can't compare with Qianshou Village Zheng at all.

And others, too. .Chapter 178

"Phenomenal works are not born so easily."

Sonoko Machida sighed softly, and persuaded with earnestness and earnestness, "If you have to say it, Mr. Senshou Cunzheng is the king of this industry. But if you want to defeat the king, only another king can do it."

"..."

Yoshikage Kira looked at Sonoko Machida silently.

"What, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Machida Sonoko was a little terrified by Kira Yoshikage's weird eyes.

"No, it's nothing, you continue."

Yoshikage Kira flatly denied it.

"all in all."

Feeling helpless, Sonoko Machida spread her hands, "Although I really don't want to admit it, you are the only king in Immortal River!"

"Wang? You really think highly of me."

Yoshikage Kira raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Teacher Xu Yuanxuan, you must not underestimate yourself."

Sonoko Machida said solemnly, "You have to know that in the history of the Kadokawa Bunko, there are only [-] novels that can exceed one million sales!"

Although the light novel industry seems to be in full swing, only a few can succeed after all.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a single novel can sell more than [-] copies, it is already excellent.

If calculated on the basis of 600 yen per copy, [-] copies would be [-] million yen.

And you must know that the average salary of Neon is 20 yen, which is only 240 million yen a year.

And millions of sales, in the past, it was definitely an existence that could be crowned king.

It's a pity that the competition is too fierce now, and a million sales is not enough.

"Other novels, without exception, have been hyped by the library. Only Mr. Urobuchi, your "Warhammer 40K" has quietly exceeded one million sales without any publicity. You must know that when you heard the news , but even I was shocked~!"

It is not so easy to promote a new king.

People like Kasumigaoka Shiwa who have sold a total of 50 volumes are simply not enough to read.

Because her sales volume has not even reached 100 million, she is not even qualified to compete.

Only authors with a sales volume of over one million are eligible to compete with Qianshou Cunzheng on the same stage.

"Didn't you say there are 30 more?"

Facing Machida Sonoko's eagerly looking eyes, Kira Yoshikage remained indifferent, "Then you can find them."

"impossible."

Sonoko Machida sighed softly, "We do have other writers whose sales have exceeded one million. If we devote all our resources, it is no problem to compete with or even surpass Mrs. Senju Murasa. But those writers are all old-fashioned writers, and they all have their own. Famous work. So what if we win the Qianshou village levy in the end?"

"When the time comes, Dengeki Bunko will say 'Use the big to bully the small', and our efforts will be in vain. And,"

Machida Sonoko paused, and said with a wry smile, "That's the case if we win, but if we lose, then we, Undead River, really have no room to turn around."

If old-fashioned writers and new writers compete on the same stage, people will say that they are bullying the younger if they win.

Even most people will instinctively sympathize with the weak and turn to support Dengeki Bunko.

And if it loses, it will be even more shameful, and it will only praise Qianshou Village Zheng even higher.

Then all the propaganda they used to promote their own authors in the early stage will all in turn promote the Qianshou Village Sign.

"So, you chose me?"

"Yes."

Sonoko Machida admitted frankly, "Mr. Urobuchi, you are the only new writer who has sold more than one million in recent years. Although the audience and core elements of "Warhammer 40" determine that it cannot be a big hit, "Death of King Arthur" is. It fits the mainstream perfectly, so we think you have the capital to compete with Sensei Muramasa."

"and,"

Sonoko Machida took a deep breath, "And if Mr. Urobuchi Gen loses in the end, we still have room for maneuver."

Using old people to suppress newcomers will be criticized regardless of whether they win or lose.

This is the real drinking poison to quench thirst, all harm but no benefit.

And if newcomers are used to compete with newcomers, they can be sure of winning no matter whether they win or lose.

If they win, they will stand up, and if they lose, they will not be slumped, and they will maintain the status quo.

It couldn't be any worse.

"In other words, my fault tolerance rate is greater?"

"It probably means that's right."

Machida Sonoko nodded frankly, that was their intention.

Nothing bad to see.

"Isn't 300 million sales a big hit?"

The black-haired girl in the coffee shop hugged her fat body distressedly, shivering alone in a corner.

"Although in terms of subject matter, Teacher Xia Shizi's youthful and love-themed works are more suitable for our library, but her strength is insufficient. If she insists on going head-to-head with Qianshou Village Zheng, she will definitely die without a whole body! Only 50 copies have been sold. The sales obtained by selling gimmicks such as 'beautiful girl writer' are far from enough."

"｀々Ahhh! Sonoko Machida, stop talking!"

The girl clenched her silver teeth, wishing she could rush into the Immortal River Library next door and tear Machida Sonoko's mouth open.

Why do you have to use her as a comparison?

Although she knew that her strength was still far behind those real kings, she also accepted this fact frankly.

But there is no need to whip the corpse repeatedly!

"Shiba-chan, calm down."

Shimazaki Yuna tightly held the cell phone in her arms, wanting to cry but without tears.

If you react so strongly, she will be very embarrassed!

Even if you wear headphones, you know that the other party cannot hear the sound.

But you yelled so loudly, what if you were heard?

"So, Teacher Urobuchi, you are our only choice."

Sonoko Machida (Wang Zhao) threw out the only card in his hand without hesitation, and looked pitifully at Yoshikage Kira.

Although the Undead River Library is not at the point where there is no way out, the current predicament is also obvious.

Although Yoshikage Kira can also sign a contract by deception, she still chooses to be honest.

As for sincerity, the sincerity of [-]% is enough.

If you count the promotional expenses of Undead Chuan Library, it can be said that this is already a loss-making business.

"I understand."

Yoshikage Kira nodded slightly, somewhat understanding why Sonoko Machida made such a choice.

"Well, actually I..."

Shimazaki raised her hand weakly, she wanted to give up.

"In this case, you won't embarrass Kira Yoshikage, right?"

Although she really wanted to be his illustrator, she didn't want to harm him because of her selfishness.Report. Chapter 179

"To shut up!"

Yoshikage Kira glanced at her lightly.

"Hmm~"

Shimazaki Yuna let out a groan, lowered her head and shivered.

"Teacher Urobuchi, what do you think?"

Sonoko Machida stared at Yoshikage Kira closely. Although she looked as steady as an old dog on the surface, she was in a panic.

If Yoshikage Kira must insist, what can they do?

Could it be possible to keep Yoshikage Kira out?

What a joke!

They signed a contract but did not sign a contract. What if Yoshikage Kira was forced to Dengeki Bunko?

Although Mr. Eromanga's illustrations are very important, they can greatly drive sales.
