Chapter 40 Game
Zhu Guiming is also actively communicating with the above. Sprout is also an old literary magazine, and there is no shortage of old connections.
She tried her best and finally talked through some people from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
In short, there is really no big problem with the content of Chen Linfeng's novels. As long as there is no prejudice, you can understand it.
They are all engaged in literary work, and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles can also see how selfish Ren Ri’s article was.
The Federation of Literary and Art Circles was stable, and she called Renri again.
Renri was not surprised by the call from Mei Ya and told Zhu Guiming the truth.
Now that things have happened, it is impossible to change one's words. Don't big newspapers not want to lose face?
They did not expect to cause such a big disturbance, and they could not retract the reports they had published. They only promised not to publish relevant articles again.
Just stop adding fuel and vinegar.
Zhu Guiming reluctantly achieved his goal, hung up the phone, rubbed his temples, and continued to dial Zuolian's number.
She wanted to try to see if she could find someone from the association to make peace privately.
However, it was not so easy to talk to Zuolian, and it was Yuanyuan who answered the phone.
A large part of the group of writers in Zuolian are criticizing Chen Linfeng's novels. It can be said that the main force of literary criticism this time is Zuolian.
Yuanyuan originally had a good relationship with Moya, otherwise she would not have participated as a judge in the first New Concept.
Her tone was very gentle, but when Zhu Guiming mentioned the matter of reconciliation, she seemed to have a kind suggestion: As long as Chen Linfeng does not write "no depth" novels in the future, it will be fine. If he is really banned this time, he will be treated as a bonus. lesson.
Zhu Guiming suppressed the curse and hung up the phone directly.
An entertainment club somewhere in Tokyo.
Several branches of Kadokawa gathered together to chat and brag.
Asc Multimedia President Tsukada Masamitsu, Enterbrain Vice President Taro Yida, and senior executives from Fujimi Shobo and ME Workshop were also present.
Tsukada Masamitsu drank a little too much, his face was red, and his head was shaking, he mentioned the Chinese writer who had been very popular recently,
"How can a mere brat be as talented as the newspaper said, but It’s just Kodansha’s publicity strategy.”
Yoda Taro immediately agreed, “President Tsukada is so right. I was blind before, but I believed it and actually went to find this person. The kid talks about cooperation."
He put the wine heavily on the table and made a harsh sound, "After meeting him in person, I knew that this must be forced by the Chinese and it was completely fake. . ”
When Taro Yida remembered that he had been rejected for his kind words, he was so angry that he smashed his beloved teacup after returning to the company.
At this time, with the help of alcohol, I became angry again when I recalled it. I no longer cared whether what I said was true or not.
Others heard the noise and laughed, "Is it true? I heard that Editor Noma, the son of the boss of Kodansha, thinks highly of this kid."
< br>Yida Taro said loudly, "Mr. Noma was deceived. Look, this guy's new book will definitely not work."
Hearing this, Tsukada Masamitsu said with interest, "If he If the new book is not popular, that’s great. Authors affiliated with our club will publish books soon, but the time is too close, which is always worrying.”
“It’s from Teacher Shigurezawa Keiichi. The second part of "Kino's Journey"?" Taro Yida asked eagerly.
"That's right."
Yida Taro rolled his eyes and thought of an idea,
"President Tsukada, why don't you adjust the release time of this work with Kodansha?" For sale?"
He punched the air, "Give the Chinese kid a hard blow and let him know that our neon book market is not the place for him."
Tsukada hesitated. He said, "This is not good, and there is no deep hatred. Kodansha's face should still be given."
Taro Yida was so drunk that he couldn't care less about this, and said, "It's just normal business competition. Besides, "Journey to Kino" is the second novel. With a fan base of the previous work, can we still be afraid of him?"
"How can I be afraid of a Chinese kid? I'm just worried about the unpleasantness with Kodansha. Besides..."
The onlookers who had been listening for a long time were not happy, "Tsukada, what do you mean by this? What's the use, let us see your measure."
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, everyone started to cheer. Tsukada drank a little too much, and when his head got hot, he shouted, "Do it, let the kid know how good we are at recruiting men."
In fact, he didn't think it was a big deal. As Yitian said, this is his second book. The previous book was excellent and he had a lot of fans, so it was really unlikely that he would lose.
"Is there something wrong with Tsukada? Does he have to fight against me, Noma?" Nobuhiko Noma was very unhappy, "It will be released on the same day. This is for myself."
< br>Today, Chen Linfeng came to Kodanshe to confirm the sales schedule for next week. He did not expect to hear such news.
He was a little worried. This novel was not very famous in China in its previous life, but in Neon, it was a very classic light novel, with sales of nearly 10 million in later generations.
The content of the novel is a story about a girl's journey in various fictional countries. It is somewhat similar to "Gulliver's Travels", and the quality is very impressive.
As a newcomer to the neon market, he might not be able to succeed.
"Should we postpone the release of the novel?" Sister Mei came up with an idea. Now that the two books collide, it will inevitably divert attention and affect sales.
“It can’t be postponed!” Chen Linfeng immediately objected.
After listening to the translation, Noma had the same opinion, "Preliminary publicity has been launched, and now is the time when the public is most interested in Teacher Kirin. If you delay, you will miss the opportunity."
Chen Linfeng took over, "Once the public's interest is over, it will be difficult to recover. The other party is the second best-selling book and has a natural advantage. If we compete with him, it is like eating a bowl of rice with uncooked rice. But even so, we can only force it.”
...
President Tsukada is also encouraging his authors, "Teacher Shiyaze, your work is a masterpiece that won the Grand Prize last year. It will not be affected by a mere Chinese brat."
He said with confidence, "We at Kadokawa Bookstore will go all out to support your sale. I have contacted the media and started building momentum. I will definitely make your book popular."
< br>Tsukada put his hand on the other person's shoulder, "We are the second new book against him, the advantage is mine!"
Shiamaze Keiichi reluctantly nodded and drank the bowl of chicken soup.
The energy of Kadokawa Shoten cannot be underestimated. As soon as they took action, they created huge waves in newspapers.
Chinese writers versus neon writers.
"Destiny" vs. "Kino's Journey"
The drama of the two powers competing for supremacy is more interesting than the one who stands alone, and the media has reported on this confrontation.
For a time, the opposition between the two became the focus of the neon literary world.
"Kino's Journey" itself has its own traffic and can attract a lot of attention.
This amount of hype has actually made "Destiny" more popular.
Readers who did not know about this book began to become curious about what book could compete with "Kino's Journey".
Taking advantage of this popularity, the two books were released at the same time.
"Kino's Journey" was an unexpected hit, with sales exceeding 100,000 in just two weeks.
The quality of the new book is as stable as ever, and it has been well received by many fans, and some literary critics have also given praise.
Among the top 10 light novels, "Kino's Journey" quickly made the list in just one month.
This is a comprehensive list of novel sales and reviews, which can well reflect the overall quality of a light novel.
The column created by the Asahi Shimbun is the most authoritative list in the field of light novels. (This is pure fiction and does not exist in reality)
Since there can only be one series of novels, only one can be on the list.
The first novel "Journey to Kino" has just been off the list, and this one has been on the list, and has slowly risen to No. 6.
The first few are all long-established masterpieces, such as the official novels of "Rhodes Island War" and "eva".
"Kino's Journey" is more popular than ever!
However, all this became a foil.
