All beautiful girls want to post with me

This morning, after Yuko Hiratsuka saw the single-day sales volume of "Sword Art Online" volume 1, she directly slapped the table and decided that the signing event at Dengeki Comic Expo at the end of October will be the "Sword Art Online" signing event !

Yukinoshita Yono asked, do you still need to continue to hide the signing event from Izumi Qinhai?

Editor-in-Chief Hiratsuka thought for a while, and said ambiguously: "You can properly maintain a sense of mystery. This is the first time I have obtained the qualification to hold a signing event, and I can arrange a surprise experience for Izumi."

surprise?

Got it, I like to surprise people the most!

Yukinoshita Yoshino thought about it, and continued to hide the signing event as a matter of course, and planned to call Qin Haiming the day before the Dengeki Comic Exhibition to ask if Qin Haiming was free the day after tomorrow, and if he was at home?

If she was at home and had time, she would drive to the gate of Izumi's house early the next morning, and then take her directly to the Dengeki Comic Exhibition venue.

When she arrived at the gate of Dengeki Comic Exhibition, she told Qin Hai that she had obtained the qualification to hold a signing event.

At that time, Qin Hai will definitely be moved to tears!

Maybe she will fly into her arms, looking up at her with tears in her eyes, and shout softly: "Thank you, Sister Yang Nai~ I like you the most!"

After brainstorming, Yukinoshita Yono suddenly felt as if an electric current was rushing through his body, his face was calm, and he shouted in his heart:

-Will Qin Hai be moved to tears in my arms?Then he said something coquettishly, Sister Yang Nai!what!Blessed!If this is really possible, even if I die under her skirt on the spot, I would be willing!

"What kind of mysterious activity is it?"

"Hehehe, I won't say it, but don't worry, it must be a good thing. You should wait patiently in your heart. When you know it, I promise, you will be moved to tears!"

"really?"

Facing Yang Nai's words, Hequan Qinhai felt somewhat uneasy.

If Xue Nai had said this to her, she might be relieved. Xue Nai's manner of speaking was cold, but he had always been very reliable.However, Xue Nai might not necessarily talk to her half-jokingly like Yang Nai.

The personalities of this pair of sisters are not the slightest difference.

"Really, I'm your editor in charge. Can I not arrange good things for you? The two of us are grasshoppers on the same rope! Only by getting along with each other and helping each other can we achieve a win-win situation!"

"I understand the truth, but can you change the metaphor you used to describe the relationship between the two of us?" Hequan Qinhai twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Then... the same breed?"

"May I ask, Yang Nai, what was your average score in Chinese when you were in middle school?"

"...Can I not say it?"

Silence is better than sound here.

"Okay, I understand." Hequan Qinhai sighed and didn't delve into it further.

After congratulating and thanking each other, Yang Nai was still busy arranging the reprint plan for the first volume of "Sword Art Online", so Qin Hai didn't bother any more and hung up the phone.

Turning his eyes to the screen, he continued to enjoy the best-seller list with relish.

"I remember that on yesterday's best-selling list, Shiyu-senpai ranked fourth on the best-selling list, and today it's my turn!"

Hequan Qinhai sat on the chair with his hands on his hips for a while, and suddenly thought of the old best-selling author who was on the shelves at about the same time as her, Toqi Lianmu.

The 10th volume he wrote before directly caused Izumi Kotokai to lose the recommendation of the promotional video, although he was instead recommended by the animation company to burn the funds to produce the motion picture, which attracted the attention of many people and was well received.

But now it's time to put it on the shelves, so Qin Hai still cares a little bit about it.

Since Huqi Lianmu got a better recommendation than her, how much is his sales this time?

Hequan Qinhai looked for it, and found the 8th volume of "The Girl Who Lives in a Mecha Can't Smile" at the 10th place on the best-selling list.

I don't know how much he sold, but it's not as high as hers anyway!

Hequan Qinhai took a deep breath, twitched the corners of his mouth, and stood on the computer desk with his hands on his hips complacently, raised his head and laughed, as if a pair of small wings grew out of her back in the next second, and flew into the sky with a whistling flap , neither

It will be surprising.

Chapter 512

In the next two days, Izumi Qinhai spent most of his time going to various nearby bookstores, secretly observing how many people bought the first volume of "Sword Art Online".

Usually after eating in the morning, they go out to the nearby bookstore. If they go too early and the bookstore is not open, Qin Hai will hide behind a street lamp not far away or in an alley, secretly waiting for the bookstore owner to open for business.

After entering the bookstore, observe from the morning to eating at noon, go back to have a meal, and start observing from the afternoon to the evening when the door closes.

Seeing someone approaching the cabinet where the first volume of "Sword Art Online" was placed, Hequan Qinhai raised his eyebrows. If the customer picked up the book, the corners of his mouth would rise happily.

If a customer picks up this book and goes to the counter to check out, Qin Hai, who is watching from the side, will silently nod and praise in her heart: what a person of taste.

If the customer just picked up the book, put it back after a while, then turned around and left without buying, Qin Bao, who was watching secretly, would have a small face on the spot.

The two days of the weekend, just like that, were all used by Qin Bao to observe how many people bought her books.In fact, there is no need to go to the bookstore to observe secretly every day.

The sales table was sent out, which clearly recorded the sales volume sold online and offline in a day.

Using two sales data to do an addition, you can get the sales data of the omni-channel of the day.

Friday, 12172 copies.

Saturday, 25768 copies.

Sunday, 33546 copies.

Volume 1 of "Sword Art Online" has sold more than 15 copies in just three days since its launch on the 7th!!!

At the beginning, because of the uncertainty of "Sword Art Online", although some editors in the editorial department were optimistic about the potential of "Sword Art Online", everyone was old-fashioned, unless the author who is a resident of the best-selling list opened a new book,

Otherwise, facing the release of a new book by a new author, they would not dare to easily print too many single volumes.

Therefore, the initial number of first prints of "Sword Art Online", the common and limited editions combined, has just reached 3 copies.

The cautiousness of these editors is also understandable, even the rich and powerful Dengeki Bunko, because of the high-frequency animation during this period, is not so rich in funds.

The payback period for animation is relatively long, not to mention the long production time, even if the animation is successfully produced and the TV version is released smoothly, the popularity of the animation will start to drive the sales of the original work.Distance want to earn back the investment funds, also

It takes a long time.

Although the BD version will be released on the basis of TV, it will be another wave of income.But then we have to wait until the anime airs for a few episodes and the popularity is good before starting to make BD.From production to release, no matter how fast it is, at least a few

month time.

If you don't pay attention, almost a year has passed.It took a lot of money to invest, and it took a few months to as long as a year before it was possible to make a profit.

——There are many anime-style light novels.

This name sounds very respectable, but it is also an invisible pressure for the light novel library.Dengeki Bunko is currently facing this kind of pressure. The key is that every anime is turned into an animation company.

The cost is still quite a lot, and one of the animation funds for a light novel with sword and magic as the background makes people gasp when they hear it.

The high budget was spent to make this anime become the hegemony of the month after it was broadcast.

Closer to home, it’s no wonder that many editors in Dengeki Bunko’s editorial department think that the release time of the first volume of “Sword Art Online” is too embarrassing.

Not to mention that there are many light novels that have been aired this month after the animation, and the popularity has begun to drive, and the sales have gradually increased.The focus of publicity will definitely be on these light novels after animation.

Investing in animation, the funds are not so much. Facing a new book by a new author, you will definitely think of printing less in the first batch, printing [-] to [-] copies, and testing the water first to see how the sales are?

The resident popular author of Dengeki Bunko's top ten best-selling list, and Toki Renki, who has never let the sales fall out of the top ten since the release of the first volume, even released the tenth volume in the middle of October.It just happened to coincide with the release time of Izumi Tree

together.

One of the privileges of old authors, new volumes must have PV promotional videos, and Toki Renki is no exception.In this way, it can be regarded as indirectly stealing Qin Hai's PV promotional video.Just in terms of recommendation and publicity, "Sword God"

Domain" fell into another disadvantage.

With all kinds of disadvantages, even the editor-in-chief is a little bit drumming in his heart. Can the sales volume of the first volume of "Sword Art Online" soar past the excellent sales line of 1 copies?

"Sword Art Online" is a good work, but anyone with a little vision can see that as long as the sales are successful, this may be a milestone work for the light novel industry.

But there’s no way around it, it’s too embarrassing for the release time, and an old editor-in-chief was heartbroken: “It’s God’s blessing to sell [-] copies when it’s on the shelves at this time!”

And at this moment, Yukinoshita Yoshino not only didn't shut up obediently, but secretly prayed in his heart that the sales volume of the first volume of "Sword Art Online" would be able to win some momentum, and strive to cross the excellent sales line of 1 copies in one fell swoop.Keep the eligibility for serialization first

Don't be cut in half, and then slowly and steadily grow, waiting for the day when the counterattack breaks out.

Yang Nao chose not to, but chose to stand up directly during the meeting, and said to Hiratsuka Yuko: "Editor-in-Chief, the initial printing volume of the first volume of "Sword Art Online", I want to increase it to 1 copies!"

Facing Yukinoshita Yoshino's application, everyone thought she was crazy, Hiratsuka Yuko was not optimistic about her proposal, but for the sake of being old friends with Yonoshita's mother, she sold her mother a face , the "Sword Art Online" No.

The initial printing run of 1 volume increased to 10 copies.

Compared with the original 3 copies, it has increased by 7 copies!

What followed was the financial pressure of doubling growth.

Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch, Hiratsuka Yuko also said to Yango:

"For your mother's sake, the printing volume of the first volume of "Sword Art Online" can be increased to 1 copies. But relatively, Dengeki Bunko needs to bear a heavier financial pressure. If the sales volume of the first volume in the current month No

It has an excellent sales line of 1 copies.You, resign, go home obediently, and listen to your mother. "

Yang Nai, who doesn't want to go back to Yukinoshita's house at all, is increasing the number of copies to be printed to 10 copies. Every day, she prays silently in her heart, hoping that Qin Hai can give her a little bit of help, so that she can sell without breaking through the best-seller list 4 copies will do!

At that time, even if the remaining 6 copies have not been sold out, I can use this to say that I bought a whole 1 more copies. Fortunately, she increased the printing quantity, otherwise the first 3 copies would not be enough to sell! In case of delay

If there is too much, then I am too ashamed of Mr. Izumi's painstaking efforts in creation!

I don't want to go back to Yukinoshita's house...e..

Yang Nai doesn't like to go home, because as long as he goes back, he will have to face that strong mother all day long.

Shock library.

After Sunday’s sales came out, Yukinoshita Yoshino walked into the gate of Dengeki Bunko Building, his face was full of spring breeze, his steps were confident and powerful, and he specially put on high heels when he went to work today, and the crisp heels kissed the ground

The voice was like a proud Snow Queen walking in.

Some time ago, when she came to work every day, she could feel the heavy pressure on her shoulders, and she couldn't help but look down at her mobile phone, thinking of returning to her office quickly.I meditate in my heart, let my sense of existence

Smaller, smaller!

But today, she is extremely confident and feels that she has finally made it through! When she meets colleagues, no matter whether she is familiar with them before or not, she will greet them with a smile and say hello.

The colleagues basically responded very enthusiastically. The sales data of the works in charge of the editorial department are all interoperable, and there is no need to hide it.

Only by knowing the sales data of the works that the other party is responsible for can cause healthy competition.

The astonishing sales of the first volume of "Sword Art Online" naturally spread throughout the editorial department in a short period of time.

The same is true for the relationship between the author and the editor-in-chief, not to mention, Yukinoshita Yono forcibly increased the initial printing volume from 3 to 10 this time.
