After all, during that time, both readers and book reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with each other's works.

In fact, when Hiroto Akihara closed the publication last week, he had privately speculated whether this work would die prematurely!After all, no matter what kind of serialization it is, suspension of publication is a big problem that cannot be ignored.

But he didn't expect that "April Youth" would come up with such a strange trick. After a week of suspension, it would directly issue a thicker version of the special issue, releasing all the later works of Hiroto Akihara!

Now, even readers who don't have the patience to follow Hiroto Akihara's works will consider the "sunk costs" that have been spent before, and have the patience to take a closer look!

While he was thinking, a middle-aged man wearing glasses asked him, "Deputy Editor-in-Chief Yancheng, what do you think about the follow-up sales of "April Youth"?"

Yan Chengjing stood up and tried to express his opinion again that "April Youth" could not surpass "Spring of Literature".

But when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything.

Given the quality of Hiroto Akihara's work, many book reviewers may pay attention to it in the future. As for readers, they may also post favorable comments on the Internet.

At that time, relying on the word-of-mouth effect, "April Youth" may really increase sales!

Thinking of this, he had a faint feeling in his heart.

Damn it, could it be that the status of the third child in "Spring of Literature" is so insecure?

[Chapter 183.182 Pierce that unlucky ghost! ]

Facts have proved that, as the deputy editor-in-chief of "Spring of Literature", Yan Chengjing has a relatively accurate grasp of the periodical market and changes in public opinion.

In the next few days, Akihara Hiroto's "The Invisible Guest" began to usher in different changes in public opinion.

Because this work was released directly in the form of an extended (thick) special issue, the direction of the plot is already clear at a glance.Both readers and book reviewers can intuitively analyze the good and bad of this work.

In the newspapers, the book reviewers who originally criticized Yuuto Akihara for "exhausting his talents" all fell silent. Among them, book reviewers like Yuki Nishijima even pretended that they hadn't said anything bad, and praised Yuuto Akihara Excellent work.

As for the book reviewers who originally supported this work, they even took the initiative to attack, and their praise was beyond words, and they strongly recommended readers to take a look at this work, saying that this work is a rare "court Pie" excellent work!

People in academia also rarely joined in the fun.Generally speaking, these academics don't care about reasoning if they don't specialize in reasoning literature.

But this time is different. The writing method of Hiroto Akihara's work adopts the "reminiscence narrative method". This kind of writing method is relatively popular in Europe and the United States, and it is very rare in Neon.

This work by Akihara Hiroto not only adopts such a writing technique, but also writes so well. It is true and false, one truth after another, and the plot is constantly reversed, which makes people dumbfounded.

Therefore, people in these academic circles have praised Hiroto Akihara's work as a masterpiece of "foreign style and soul"!

In short, judging from newspapers and various periodicals, people from all walks of life have expressed a high degree of recognition for this work, and some even think that it can compete for the Uemura Prize!

Under the feedback of public opinion, the readership has also been greatly affected.

On the Internet, the number of posts supporting this work completely exceeds the number of posts opposing this work.Some topic owners who originally said that they didn't like this work either deleted the post or changed their words.

A very small number of posts still ridiculed Hot Wind, and they were directly scolded bloody.

In the market, some readers who had given up on reading originally had curious thoughts because of all these changes.In this state of mind, they all turned around and bought the extended edition of the special issue.

After watching it, they all expressed their high approval!

However, not everyone is happy about these happenings. Just like the editorial departments of other periodicals and magazines like "Literary Spring", they have become nervous!

It turns out that the sales volume of "April Youth" is only 15 copies, and it has a proper fourth place in the industry, so there is nothing to worry about.

But I didn't expect that "April Youth" directly held back a "big move" and made an extended special issue, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

According to the current market trend, it is simply menacing.Maybe after the sales are released, some unlucky ghost will be exposed right away!

……

On Friday morning, the sales statistics analysis meeting of the editorial department of "April Youth" was very lively.

After the publication of this issue of "April Youth" periodical, the results swept away the slump caused by Hiroto Akihara's suspension last week, and Xianyu turned around.

周一的销量达到了3万册，周二的销量达到了3万5千册，但到了周三周四，反而逆势上涨到了3万9千册和4万千册。

Generally speaking, journals have been released, and they are often the highest on Monday, and then decline day by day.However, this issue of "April Youth", relying on the reputation of Hiroto Akihara's works, started a "counterattack" all the way, but gradually made efforts later.

Editors such as Oshiro Toshika and Awazu Hideki who participated in the meeting could see the expressions of excitement on their faces—after all, they have invested a lot of energy and money during this period, and finally achieved a good result.

And Shunyou Kawamoto, who had always been opposed to Akihara Hiroto as the focus of propaganda, did not speak at this time. The fact that the sales of "April Youth" exploded thanks to Akihara Hiroto's works has proved his previous misjudgment.

Oshiro Toshika sat at the main seat, looked around at the crowd, and then called Awazu Hideki to report the results of other competitors in the last week.

Awazu Hideki received the instructions, distributed the documents, and began to narrate at the same time.

Jing Fanshe's "Spring of Literature" was preempted by many channels near universities during this period, and its sales dropped a lot.However, the other party immediately counteracted and increased cooperation with various school libraries and student unions, so the sales volume did not fall below 20 volumes (the previous sales volume was 21 volumes), and it currently ranks third.

Mantansha's "Tokyo Literature and Art" has continued to maintain a large number of book review pages for publicity during this period of time.In addition, because of the serial works of two signature writers, Seto Tamae and Nakata Keito, the magazine still has a lot of loyal readers, and its sales volume has gone further than before, reaching 26 copies, ranking second.

Toei's "Tokyo Youth" has lost part of its readers because one of its works has announced the end of its serialization.But after all, the reader base is there, and some readers are interested in the new serialization, so the sales volume is still 29 copies, maintaining the first position.

As for Mandansha's "New", Hideki Awazu thought about it and decided not to talk about it... After this journal has no signature writers and promotional resources, it is not even considered cannon fodder now.

After the report, Awazu Hideki took out another report from the statistics department and said: "According to the re-estimates from the statistics department, as of next Monday, the sales volume of "April Youth" this week is estimated to reach 19 Thousands of volumes."

Hearing this number, the expressions of everyone in the conference room became subtle.

19 copies, which seems to be only 1 copies away from the sales volume of "Spring of Literature" last week.

Having said that, the estimates of the statistics class may not always be accurate, maybe even a little higher? !

In that case, this "April Youth" will surpass "Spring of Literature"!

Oshiro Lixiang coughed dryly, and then his expression became serious.

"I'm going to find Mihashi's specialist later to see if I can increase the publicity. I think that as long as we work hard, maybe our sales this week will surpass that of "Spring of Literature"!"

"...Everyone knows, in order to be able to publish this special issue this time, Mr. Akihara completed the manuscripts for the next few weeks in one week, and spent a lot of time and energy! If this is the case, can we relax?!"

"Of course not!"

Oshiro Lixiang stood up, and then said in a firm and forceful voice.

"I hope everyone will join me in visiting the surrounding bookstores in these two days and ask them to put a few more copies of "April Youth" on the sales stands! As long as our sales can exceed "Spring of Literature", Then the council will definitely pay more attention to us!"

She glanced at everyone with meaningful eyes, then bowed deeply, "Please everyone!"

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, stood up together, and bowed their heads.

At that moment, everyone's eyes are bright and their confidence is full.

The gap of 1 volumes, as long as you can work hard, maybe you can surpass it immediately!As for visiting bookstores, it’s just more walking and bowing!

Success is just around the corner, no matter how hard you work, it’s really unreasonable!
