Yu felt that he had made a big death, and at the same time was very glad that he had left the review task to Wugeng Liuli, otherwise, if the review work was added, there would be no rest for a day and a night.
After four hours of surveillance and struggle, Yu gently pressed the Enter key, sent the plot summaries of the three novels and the content of the first volume to Kagurazaka Ayame's mailbox, and walked out of the room with a tired face. Door.
Just as Yu went downstairs, the phone in his trouser pocket vibrated slightly, and a text message was sent to his phone.
[Two books with minor revisions, ready for publication.One - shot! 】
Chapter 80 The Book Is Not So Good
"It's as efficient as ever!" Feeling the vibration from his legs, Yu put his hand in his trouser pocket and took out his phone as he walked down the stairs.
Yuu still appreciates the high efficiency of her own editing of Kagurazaka Ayame. After all, every behind-the-scenes boss likes diligent employees!
Although the other party's complaints about too much work are often passed to him through text messages from the president of the publishing house.
"Actually got shot?" You frowned slightly when he saw the content of the text message, and said in disbelief.
beep--!beep--!beep--!
The information came again.
[I will come to your house to discuss the specific matters! ] - by: Kagurazaka calamus.
*****
7pm
Kagurazaka Ayame arrived as promised after sending off Gosara Ruri, who was rushing back to Chiba City by Shinkansen.
In the living room on the first floor of the Izumi Mansion, Yu sat on the sofa, looking at Kagurazaka Iris in front of him with a displeased expression.
With short brown hair and violet-like eyes, although his face is as green as a female college student, with a simple and capable lady's suit, the whole person exudes the atmosphere of a strong woman in the workplace.
The so-called people rely on clothes nothing more than that.
"Well, don't stare so fiercely!" Kagurazaka Acorus took out the tea set from under the tea table naturally, took out the teahouse in the box next to him skillfully, and began to brew black tea. "By the way, how is your black cat sister training?"
Because Yuu directly called Wugen Ruri by the nickname Black Cat, the Yamada Fairy and others who met Wugen Ruri through Yu's introduction seemed to be habitually calling Wugen Ruri a black cat.
"...In terms of reviewing manuscripts, I want you to teach Black Cat, and try to improve her reviewing ability to the editing level." You leaned on the back of the sofa, squinted slightly, and stared at Kagurazaka Ayame for a while, his tone said indifferently.
"This is really a chore!" Kagurazaka Iris said with a bitter face and an embarrassed face.
It takes at least half a year to train a novice into a qualified editor, even if it is just a review level, and it takes a lot of energy. For her who has just been promoted to editor-in-chief and is busy with work, it will be even more difficult. .
The corner of You's mouth twitched slightly. According to his memory, once the woman in front of him made this expression, the next sentence was basically to please.
Without waiting for Kagurazaka Ayame to speak, Yu said in a strong tone. "Don't pay attention to these details! Let's go straight to the topic, which book was shot?"
"Tsk, goddamn capitalist! It was Madoka Madoka's plan that was shot." Kagurazaka Ayame leaned back slightly, leaned back on the sofa, folded her hands in front of Hungyue, and said in a dissatisfied tone .
"Huh?" Yu looked at Kagurazaka Ayame in surprise.If his spoof FSN was shot, he was still prepared, but the little round face who subverted the magical girl and changed the theme was shot, which made him confused.
Seeing Yu's surprised expression, Kagurazaka Ayame held her forehead and sighed.
"I admit, the work is very good. But have you ever considered the market? When 9% of the audience is the magical girl theme of elementary school students, do you want the publishing house to be surrounded by angry parents?"
In Japan, the editors of large publishing houses have basically been honed at the grassroots level of the publishing market for more than 2 years. Such editors who climb up from the grassroots step by step naturally have a deep understanding of the market environment, novel creation and other publishing matters.
How much is the first print of a novel appropriate?What social impact will the work have after it is published?How will the market react?Possibly a sensation or a hit?These are all pre-judgments based on the rich experience of the editor in charge.
And Yuu is aware of this, and will continue to maintain the relationship between the editor and the author with Kagurazaka Iris.
Thinking of this, the corner of your mouth twitched slightly.He just remembered now that the reason why the magical girl's little round face was able to achieve its reputation as a masterpiece is not only because it ended the routine-style creation of magical girls, but also because the audience of magical girls has gone beyond the category of students.
In this world, most of the audience of Magical Girls are elementary school students, and they have not yet entered the routine, and released the head-cutting masterpiece of the small round face.
A proper childhood shadow!
"Understood, I don't want to be sent a blade, if the publishing house is smashed. This work can only be set to the viewing age, but the subject of Magical Girl has very few audiences over 13 years old. No matter how good a work is, it is not Catering to the market is also the life of the street.”
Kagurazaka Ayame said in a flat tone.
"... Catering to the market?" You raised her brows, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, revealing a nasty smile. "Then what if the magical girl Nanoha is released first to cultivate the youth market, and then the little round face is released after she matures?"
"Yes, yes. But, do you just want to eat blades?" Kagurazaka Ayame looked at Yuu with a malicious look on his face.
Japan's Azhai is extremely crazy. They have not done it once or twice, burning models, sending blades, and besieging the publishing house.
"I personally think the title old thief is quite good. Then the matter of publishing is left to you, Kagurazaka editor-in-chief." You smiled and looked at Kagurazaka Ayame.
It's just the revenge of the dead house. Even some old thief writers who are ordinary people are not afraid, let alone the devil king.Moreover, in the weird society of Japan, the more old thieves are, the more popular they are.
Looking at Yuuna's smiling face, Kagurazaka Iris twitched the corners of her mouth and sighed softly. "Forget it, who called you the boss. Then I'll arrange the publication in the near future. There are two new books so soon. It seems that the publishing positions of some new books have to be replaced!"
Even a large-scale publishing house is limited by manpower and material resources, and the monthly publications are limited, and it is normal for one person to push out another person.
As the behind-the-scenes boss of Yu, his works must be the top priority for publishing houses, and in order to make room for Yu's works, it is an inevitable choice to take down the works of newcomers.
"I think the work "Metronome in Love" is quite good, and it needs to be vigorously promoted." He said to Kagurazaka Ayame with a smile.
He didn't forget the rookie writer Xiazhiqiu Shiyu who was affected by the last time he replaced the editor-in-chief. If this time his new work is squeezed out of the senior sister's publishing position, the fun will be great.
Hearing this, Kagurazaka Ayame immediately showed a joking expression of "I understand".
In her impression, Yu was a guy who didn't even bother to promote his own work, and suddenly said that he wanted to promote a newcomer's work, but she didn't believe it at all.
After all, in the end, there are things like unspoken rules in all walks of life, how can the light novel circle not exist.
