Tokyo Literary Godfather

Before the second season of "Life is Beautiful" was released, Kei Fujiwara received a sample book from the publisher.

"Naoki Hansawa" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" are both hardcover, and the covers are very beautifully designed. The soft power of Chunqiu Society is not bad, and the books are made like works of art.

Of course, it does need to be beautifully designed, otherwise readers will feel that they have spent so much money on such an ugly thing when they hold it in their hands. No matter how interesting the content is, some readers may lose their desire to buy. Books are essentially no different from ordinary commodities. The appearance will affect sales.

Kei Fujiwara opened the plastic cover of "The Devotion of Suspect

Tomorrow is the time for the official release of these two books. Both books are popular books. According to Itagaki Kazuhiko, major bookstores are rushing to get them and they are very popular.

Tens of thousands of first-print copies of the two books have been placed in the cabinets of major bookstores in Tokyo tonight. It may take a day and a half in Kansai, and they should be available in Osaka and Kyoto the day after tomorrow.

The Moon Nine Project has been successful, and Kei Fujiwara's program production career is booming. I hope the publishing side will not fall behind. Kei Fujiwara thought while stroking the cover of the book.

Several days before the official release of Kei Fujiwara's new book, posters had been plastered all over the exterior walls of major bookstores. Spring and Autumn Society even published advertisements in newspapers to promote its quality. So on the first day the new books were released, within ten hours, Fujiwara Kei’s two new books sold 30,000 copies.

Since the two novels were first released in Kanto, Kansai and other regions will not officially go on sale for a day or two, so this is only the sales situation in Tokyo and its surrounding areas.

When the book markets in Kansai, Chubu, Kyushu and other places also expand, daily sales will increase.

But don't even think about increasing it several times. Even doubling it is difficult. After all, Kanto, especially Tokyo, is the most economically developed region in Japan. It has a dense population and a large market. It is difficult for other places to catch up with even a fraction of it.

Most of the sales of 30,000 copies were contributed by "Naoki Hansawa". "Naoki Hansawa" sold 19,000 copies, and "The Devotion of Suspect X" only sold 11,000 copies on the first day. The sales volume of this book is nearly 10,000 copies less than that of "Naoki Hansawa".

Although the daily sales are 11,000, and the sales are only in Kanto, it can definitely be regarded as a super best-seller, but many times I am afraid of comparison. "Hansawa Naoki" released at the same time has a daily sales of close to 20,000. In front of you, it will inevitably look dwarfed by comparison.

It's no wonder that the TV series version of "Hansawa Naoki" has had such a huge impact, and it's only been a month since the show ended. Although the TV station has ended the broadcast, the video rental records of the audio and video product store show that the audience Their enthusiasm for the show has not subsided. Even many izakayas will play this TV series repeatedly on the public TV screen in the store. Many izakaya owners say that this trick is very attractive to diners.

The audience's affection and memory for this drama have not faded, so a novel version of this drama was released, which also included many stories that were omitted in the TV series, such as Naoki Hansawa's experience when he first entered the Industrial Central Bank.

So just from the perspective of the book market, it's like filming a drama at Fukuyama Station's prime time to advertise the novel "Naoki Hansawa". Wouldn't the sales be bad?

In fact, Spring and Autumn Society did not devote too many promotional resources to the novel "Hanzawa Naoki" because it also considered that the audience base of "Hanzawa Naoki" was so large that it probably did not need to spend any more money on promotion. Therefore, all promotional resources were poured into the novel "The Devotion of Suspect X".

In fact, “The Devotion of Suspect Reasoning about the power of the country.

But compared with "Naoki Hansawa", this popularity still pales in comparison... No need to argue, sales are the best evidence.

The extremely high sales volume of "Hansawa Naoki" also caused Chunqiu Society to react quickly and rush to print more copies, so that the second batch of books could be quickly added to the market before the first printing was sold out.

The shopping mall is like a battlefield. You cannot wait until the bullets are empty before you react.

After the official sales began in places other than Kanto, the daily sales of the two books once again rose to a new level. However, the gap between the two books has widened, which makes people in the publishing industry stunned by the horror of the drama "Hansawa Naoki".

The finished drama still has such a strong spin-off effect, which is stronger than a cactus.

The thoughtful people in the publishing industry saw the terrifying sales of the novel "Naoki Hansawa" and looked at the text of the novel, feeling a little silent for a while.

To be honest, this drama is a masterpiece, but as a novel, it is the worst among Kei Fujiwara's previous published works...

After all, his previous novels were "White Night Walk" and "Genius Detective Yushou Washing" (the inner chapters include: Astrology Murderous Magic \u0026amp;amp;amp; Clock Museum Incident). Such sensational works were recently published. "The Devotion of Suspect X" also shows signs of being a masterpiece.

Being worse than these works is not a shame, and being shorter than Yao Ming does not necessarily mean you are a dwarf. As long as this book is not compared with several other novels by Kei Fujiwara, it is still a good work.

But even so, the sales of this book are really scary. This has made some people in the industry think about it. Maybe it is a good idea to delve deeper into the field of drama-to-book adaptation?

First, sign contracts with some TV stations who have well-known screenwriters who have written popular works in advance, sign the rights to adapt the TV series of these screenwriters, and then wait until the show becomes popular and launch a novel version. Maybe there will be some magical effect?

Just do it. The person who came up with this idea was an editorial director of another novel magazine. He had been stimulated by the sales of Spring and Autumn magazines recently, so he started to close his eyes and recall in his mind the screenwriters whose recent works were more popular.

However, as I thought about it, I couldn't help but frown. A handsome guy from Fukuyama Terrace turned around silently in his mind, and then bared his teeth in a "yeah" gesture.

"well……"

…

A week has passed, and "Naoki Hansawa" is selling better and better, showing no sign of decline. And "The Devotion of Suspect X", with the huge momentum of the twin brothers, although there is still a gap in sales, it is gradually improving The back is coming, and daily sales have increased slightly.

However, a younger brother is still a younger brother. In the weekly book sales rankings compiled by relevant media, "Naoki Hansawa" still ranks first.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" is in the second position.

And these two books are written by the same person, Keita Sima...which is also the pseudonym of Kei Fujiwara. He just finished teaching the broadcasting industry a lesson, and then he turned around and massacred the publishing industry again.

This has also made some publishers who released novels at the same time as Fujiwara Kei complain. Haven't you kid already crossed the border? Why do you keep jumping across borders? Wouldn't it be better to stay down in the broadcast industry and write TV dramas? The publishing industry is in decline! The world of broadcasting is booming! Can you concentrate on film and television? Our sunset industry will only waste your talents...

Colleagues in the broadcast industry couldn't help but sneer: This is how it should be, people who write books should write books well, it's a disaster for our industry.
