Are You Born Again?

Hikiya realized that this was a very private meeting, and it would not be disclosed to ordinary editors. As evidence, the editor-in-chief Sonoko Machida, who was in charge of Kasumigaoka Shiwa, was absent, and the editor-in-chief Arakawa was also absent.

Judging from the teacups and snacks on the table, this is more like afternoon tea.

However, there was a man over 30 years old sitting not far away. He was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and paired with jeans. Only Dragon Temple and his secretary were in formal clothes here.

After Hikigu and Kasumigaoka Shiyu paused at the door for a few seconds, they quickly took their seats.

The number of people in the conference room has also increased to five people.

"Before the meeting starts, Mr. Hikigu, please sign two contracts."

The secretary of Ryujiji walked over with seriousness, and put a stack of documents in front of Hikigu.

Hikigu asked tentatively: "What type of contract is this? Mr. Secretary."

"Confidentiality agreement."

"Oh?"

"Considering that you may be in contact with most of the business meetings in the future, the signing of this type of agreement is a matter of course, you should sign soon."

"Then I'll take a look first."

If it is an ordinary newcomer, he must have signed with sincerity and joy after receiving this kind of treatment. However, Hikigu is used to this kind of occasion, so he read it roughly.

"The royalties for "Assassination of the Emperor" were increased from 5% to 9%, and I was given 1% less. Tsk tsk, things like newcomers being bullied are really like what a businessman would do, and the word 'squeeze' is used to the limit."

"In addition, the channel promotion process for individuals is required to be kept secret from the media and family members, um..."

When Hikigu wrote his name on the first document, he felt an extremely strong sense of disobedience.He raised his head and glanced at the mature man opposite, and found that he was eating biscuits constantly.

Baji Baji Baji Baji...

He ate one piece after another without any intention of stopping, and there were also a huge amount of plaid biscuits on the plate, at least more than 30 pieces.

After eating the biscuits, Mr. Biscuit added another portion of creamer to the black tea cup, and let out a long breath after drinking it in one gulp.

"Your name is Hikigu, right? Please hurry up, I have to go to the seminar later."

"Oh." Bi Qigu replied lightly, but he didn't mean to speed up in the slightest.

After Mr. Biscuit was stunned for a moment, he quickly tapped his fingers on the table.Da da da da da...

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu didn't like this kind of meeting very much either.

If she really wants to write something, and she has great hopes for the story itself, then some business meetings, etc., will affect her book, and she will not like it. She only likes her own The story, and everything else is an eyesore.

During the period, the secretary of Ryuji Temple took away the written contract, pointed to the projection screen and said:

"Summer vacation is a special day for the light novel industry. The cumulative sales of this month alone may be worth the sum of three months' sales."

"As far as the process cycle is concerned, there are only three books that can get the most promotion."

"Keep in mind the issue of market activity at Wenku, in terms of large-scale media promotion, only one person can get a double chance every year."

"Who can receive repeated media promotion rights, I think--through this meeting, a decision will be made."

For merchants, this is top priority!

Indian religious festivals, Chinese Spring Festival, and Western Christmas all have similarities.

"According to user surveys, most of the customers who buy light novels are young people and teenagers."

The young secretary at Ryuji Temple transferred a ppt to the projection screen, and the statistical sector analysis table clearly projected the values.

"Then the library can make several times the money this month, and the decision of how much money... is everyone's books, this is very obvious.——Please don't talk about this sentence everywhere."

Then, the secretary pointed to the gentleman who had been eating biscuits: "Mr. Ito, please speak first."

"Secretary Shimada is right. It is not so much our book that determines the sales volume, but rather the author himself. The authors participating here are all creators of the series, except for one person, of course."

Mr. Ito looked at Hikigaya with a puzzled expression on his face: How could there be a newcomer here?

"Oh, Mr. Hikigaya is indeed a newcomer. The original purpose of participating in this meeting is to let the teacher learn for him." Secretary Shimada explained: "At the same time, I also intend to participate."

"I see."

Bi Qigu was also taken aback, and then remembered that he was still a newcomer.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu raised her hand, and tapped her thumb flat, then pointed her index finger up, and then pointed her little finger down.

There was a time when Hikigu had this kind of communication with her, and he understood what it meant: the industry is ranked according to seniority, so don't play if you are unhappy.

"Tsk..." Hikigu was really upset when someone pointed this out, he stretched out his hand and touched Kasumigaoka Shiyu's thigh in displeasure, and his fingers slipped on the fleshy leg of the stockings, which felt like a thread It calmed his fluctuating heartstrings.

However, he didn't see Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's shy look, this woman actually smiled.

Hikigu's phone vibrated, and he opened it to look.The editor-in-chief of Dragon Temple sent a message.

"Because Ito-sensei has to publish three books a month, the burden of coding has caused him to suffer from a certain degree of anxiety. Please forgive me for this."

"So that's how it is." Hikigu replied, "This meeting is actually a fight between us, right?"

"Of course, the winner can be promoted on a large scale twice within a year." Dragon Temple said.

"Okay, I see." When Hikigu replied, he added a funny expression.

Is there such a person, because the pressure of work squeezes the private space, resulting in a decrease in sleep time every day, and on the contrary, the pressure increases, and finally explodes.

Anxiety is an early sign.

This kind of disease occurs frequently in people in their 30s who need money to start a family and start a business because their sales are stable but they need money.

Baha... Baha...

Ito ate a piece of biscuit, sat down, and said: "The library needs to sell the promoted books during the summer vacation. Isn't it a matter of course to choose old qualifications and publish multiple series of novels for promotion?"

Hikigu smiled: "The kind of person you mentioned is ready to be animated for the largest publicity. It doesn't look like it's just a promotion inside the train or at the door of the bookstore."

"Bi Qigu, you only have one book, right? There are too many people who have written three or four books and still haven't been promoted."

"It's true that after publishing three or four volumes, it still hasn't been promoted, but I'm not the one who decided to promote it, but Mr. Ito pursued the result from me. Don't you think there is something wrong?"

"Everything is based on money. This kind of industry really makes people feel that the state is worrying." Ito leaned on the chair, his face turned red.

"If you don't focus on money, such a business circle can still exist. It's almost reminiscent of... right, a typical commercial fraud?"

"What did you say……?"

"Isn't that what the fraudsters on the side of the road say: You don't need talent to make a lot of money, just sit at home and the money will fly into your pocket."

Hikigaya stood up, moved the stool and sat beside Ito.Staring at the plate with only one biscuit left, I felt a burst of life pressure head-on.

"..." Ito took a breath: "Hikigaya, what you mean is: Even if only one copy is released, even if there is no record of sales in the past, you can still say that you can sell a lot to meet the sales forecast needs of the library. ?”

Hikigu moved his face closer: "Isn't this the purpose of this meeting? Otherwise, what reason do we have to discuss?"

Ito also turned his face towards Hikigu: "Don't confuse the public, I ask you to prove that your book can sell so much here."

Hikigu stared at Ito's eyelashes: "What's the reason?"

"Because you are a newcomer. But I can speak with my past sales performance."

Ito sighed and went to get the last biscuit obsessively.

Hikigu took the plate away and stuffed the biscuit into his mouth. The aroma of milk spread in his mouth. Ito looked at this guy dumbfounded, and saw him pour himself a cup of black tea with the teapot, and then drank it in one gulp. He let out a long breath of hot air.

"..."

"Then prove it with actual sales."

After saying this, he returned to his seat and did not intend to continue participating in the author's mutual hatred activities designed by this library.

But the editor-in-chief of Longzhi Temple kept smiling, watching the interaction between the two people, showing a satisfied expression.

"The writers of the Department of Classical Literature have formed a group. They even joined the Ministry of Health and Welfare."

Bi Qigu suddenly spoke.

"Even throughout Japan, publishers and traditional writers are on the opposite side, but light novels are the opposite."

"We are comrades-in-arms of Bunko, right? It's like this in essence, although there are disputes with each other." He stared at Ito, smiled and said: "Life is only a few decades, and once a year, the relationship between Teacher Xia Shizi and I There will also be a bloody wound."

——It depends on whose book it is, the more topical it is created.The bigger one is the winner, and yes, it was the classic Japanese circle that made it possible, even the meeting.

Wenku naturally does not want the same thing to happen in the light novel circle, and there is no fierce competition among literary writers, because each of their books expresses strange things, even weird things.

That's why we stand alone.

As for the light novels, because they are for young people, almost every book has the same thing, that is, the story between a man and a woman.

'This session is also doing well, as long as there is a struggle, everyone will have more words, hehe. '

Ryuji Temple thought happily.

At this moment, Ito narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, I will appreciate your sales. Including your new book."

"You'll see it in a month."

After finishing speaking, Hikigu took out his mobile phone and began to swipe gold to start fire...

Chapter 113 My sister is waiting for you in the bedroom~

"Creatures like the so-called enemy will usually have a bright smile on my face. I understand this in the history of being attacked countless times."

In the high-end restaurant under the setting sun, Kasumigaoka Shiwa said so.

After the meeting, it was time for dinner, and the authors ate here with public funds.

Hikigaya stared at Ito, who was unwilling to sit with them, and said with a smile: "Look, this senior reminds us all the time: We are newcomers, we are young people, so we can't be inflated-just In this regard, he is a very good person.”

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu smiled without saying a word.

"After all, profit is not everything." She said suddenly.

"Profit is everything, Kasumi Hill Shiu."

Hikigu was full of smiles, and Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was stunned.

"I didn't expect that you could still come to those conclusions after going through those things. Because your supporters can't get spiritual benefits from you, they are demanding of you in every possible way, and the enemies on the side will come up when they see the benefits. , cut your neck open to blood—I didn’t expect you to still look kind at the meeting today.” Hikigu smiled happily: “In the end, are you after the same thing as me, or are you just doing it for no reason? Just venting some trivial desires?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu pursed her lips. In today's meeting, the old senior first questioned Hikigaya's strength, then Hikigaya opened up his words, and then he said that there was no problem, and ended the meeting as soon as possible.

Hikigaya smiled and picked up the goblet, poked half of the strawberry inside with a toothpick, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed.

"I bought a suit because I was going to a formal occasion; I poked a strawberry because I was hungry; I wanted to write a book from the bottom of my heart, so I wrote it-this is the benefit, It's not the sales volume that the evil party in Longzhi Temple said, isn't money just a piece of paper?" Hikigu looked straight at the other party: "Let me ask you, are you the same person as me? ?”
