tokyo writer

He felt that he was so miserable that he would not be able to live in peace for a year. Not only did he have to find a writer, but he also had to deal with copyright work.

"Editor Xiaomuro, what we are facing now is a war! And there is no chance for you to relax on the battlefield!" Ryosuke Ikemoto said bluntly: "If you don't want to, I can leave it to other people to do it. , such as editor Kawashima."

Hearing the name of his adversary, Xiaoshiliang immediately cheered up, and said without hesitation: "Understood, I will make a plan as soon as possible in the next few days and deliver it to your home!"

"That's good, that's it for now." Ryosuke Ikemoto hung up the phone in his hand with satisfaction, and then thought about a question.

The Ginza club I often go to should still be open tonight, right?

[204.2 Chapter [-] made into a TV series? ]

The annual holiday passed quickly. During this time, apart from making phone calls with acquaintances and receiving greeting cards, Qiuyuan ate, slept, and ate.By the end of the day, he already felt bored in every possible way.

So as soon as the annual leave was over, he immediately dropped everything and came to the teaching hall, devoting himself to work energetically.

He was the first to learn about the sales changes of "April Youth" and the other three major magazines during the next annual holiday.

During the 10 days of the annual holiday, many people are busy visiting and resting, so the market's reaction is obviously much colder.

This made the sales of the fifth and sixth issues of "April Youth" not only did not increase, but also dropped slightly.Even so, it still has more than 20 copies, maintaining its third position.

Mandansha's "Tokyo Literature" continues to focus on the two works of Seto Tamae and Nakata Keito and put them on the market.I don't know if it's because of the increased advertising at tram stops, but the sales actually broke through 28 copies against the trend.

Jingfanshe's "Spring of Literature", due to the reasons for the students' vacation, the market channels around the school were seriously affected, and the sales volume continued to slump, falling to only 15 copies.

Toei's "Tokyo Youth", as the old No. 1, is naturally steady and steady, continuing to focus on "Detective Uemura", with sales reaching 30 copies.

Akihara Hiroto frowned involuntarily after learning all about the situation.

Looking at it now, "April Youth" has firmly established its third position, but the gap with the first and second is still quite large.

I thought that the gap was slowly shrinking, but I didn't expect that the two did not know what to do, and they were still occupying the market.

I still have to think of a way, should I not make a special issue?

But wouldn't that be inappropriate?

Looking at the pensive Akihara Hiroto, Oshiro Rika who was sitting opposite him said, "Mr. Akihara, do you pay attention to "Detective Uemura"?"

Hiroto Akihara nodded. The other party's works belonged to the same theme as his, so he would naturally pay more attention to them.

"Then, have you read the latest two issues of this work?"

"I've seen it, how should I put it..." Hiroto Akihara hesitated for a while and said, "Although the style of the routine has not changed, compared to the monotonous case solving before, it has added a discussion about the murderer's human nature. I feel that Masaki Furuya, I really want to achieve my own new breakthrough.”

He didn't know that "Detective Shangcun" had been written by a different person, and he thought it was just that Furuya who had changed his style.

"Our editorial department also thinks so, but do you feel that the other party is plagiarizing your "Furuhata Ren Saburo"?" Oshiro Lixiang asked.

Regarding the discussion of the murderer's human nature, "Detective Uemura" was very weak before, but "Guhata Ren Saburo" used a lot of space to describe it.

"It's not plagiarism," Akihara Yuto shook his head, "but the other party must have imitated."

He didn't think it was very strange, after all, based on his previous life experience, many works would imitate the plots or ideas of other works in the name of "tribute" or "reference".

What's more, the work "Detective Shangcun" only increased the length of the discussion on the murderer's human nature.

On closer inspection, it may not even count as imitation.

Oshiro Lixiang nodded. In fact, their editorial department also thinks so. They are afraid that Akihara Yuuto, like some extreme writers, thinks that if the plot fits slightly, it means that others plagiarized him.

"Well, I actually have some news to tell you." Oshiro Lixiang finished speaking and handed over a document.

Hiroto Akihara was a little curious, but he still took the document, then looked down and saw that it read "Report on Detective Uemura's Film and Television Status".

"This is?" Akihara Hiroto glanced at Oshiro Lixiang.

"This is the news we obtained through some special channels. It is said that Toei is discussing in detail with two TV stations, Asahi and Fuji, and is preparing to make "Detective Uemura" into a film and television."

"This is bad news!"

Hiroto Akihara immediately realized the meaning behind it.

As far as a work is concerned, if it can be made into a TV series, then the sales volume of the magazine with the same name is bound to skyrocket!

But in this case, it will undoubtedly become more difficult for "April Youth" to surpass the opponent and become the number one in the industry!

This is quite inconsistent with Akihara Hiroto's expectations.

"Editor Dacheng, what are your plans?"

Akihara Hiroto looked at Oshiro Torika, and asked tentatively.

He didn't think that the other party was just showing the news to him, and there must be another trick.

"Mr. Akihara, as a reasoning writer, didn't you guess what I was thinking?"

Akihara Hiroto pondered for a while, and then gave his own answer.

Hearing his answer, Oshiro Torika showed a satisfied smile.

……

6 p.m., Toeisha building.

Fujioka Yasuki walked out of the gate with a heavy heart, he turned his head, looked at Toeisha where people were coming and going, and sighed in his heart.

He is a TV producer of Fuji TV, mainly responsible for program planning, budget, casting, etc., and is the person in charge of coordinating program production.

And the purpose of his coming to Toei this time is to obtain the TV copyright of "Detective Shangcun", that is, to put this work on the screen.

To be honest, he is very optimistic about this work, and even thinks that this work can become an evergreen tree of detective dramas.

Because this work has been serialized for 60 issues and has a large number of readers.

Not only that, according to the editorial department of "Tokyo Youth", this work may be serialized to more than 100 issues.

From this point of view, as long as the filming of this TV series is announced, a large audience base can be obtained.

But I didn't expect that when he had a good talk with Toei, Fuji TV also came out and competed with him for the film and television copyright of this work.

Seeing the appearance of new interested parties, Toei directly raised the price on the ground, raised the price by more than one notch, and put forward more harsh conditions.

This put him in a dilemma.

"If you agree to the benefits of Toei, the board of directors will definitely not agree, but if you refuse, Toei will definitely hand over the copyright to TV Asahi."

Fujioka Yasuki said to himself, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked, feeling even more distressed.

Just when he was worried, a gray car drove up in front of him and stopped.
