Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 216 The Gap Between You and the Scholar (4000 words)

The friendship between Matsukura Flower and Sanmao moved many female readers and made them cry. This is just one of the phenomena.

Friendship touches female readers, but relatively rational male readers adopt "dialectical thinking" in a serious manner and read "Unnatural Death". It aroused heated discussions among many people.

They generally feel that the performance of Maori criminal police is very unsatisfactory. Some people suggest that the criminal police are painted like this, does it mean to vilify the police?

Under this kind of discussion, a post quickly attracted the attention of others, and the number of replies reached more than 1000 in an instant.

This reader seems to be a newcomer who has just been working in the police station for less than two years. According to him, this kind of behavior by Maori criminal policemen is possible even in reality.

As we all know, the suicide rate in Japan is one of the best in the world. Under the severe division of social classification in Japan and the oppression of seniors and superiors, some people who have lost their social value have become "marginal people" in society. Japanese society The general public mostly ignores their life and death, even a little disgusted.Coupled with the fact that the Japanese have been instilled with a high level of "social responsibility awareness" since they were young, and they cannot be "needed", they naturally feel that death is the only way of atonement.

The sixth to tenth chapters of "Unnatural Death" tell the story of a group of abandoned marginalized people who gathered together to commit suicide.For a criminal policeman with a high social status like Maori, he scoffed at and was extremely impatient with such a suicide case.

In his opinion, it is troublesome and unlucky for this group of scumbags who have gathered to commit suicide to bother him to take time out of his busy schedule to investigate.Therefore, no matter at the investigation site or at the autopsy site, Maori criminal police all hope that this is just an ordinary suicide case-suicides have always been the most despised in Japan.

To sum up, the behavior of Maori criminal police is indeed quite normal in the police workplace.

As soon as this post was posted, it naturally calmed down many discussions about "Unnatural Death" deliberately vilifying the police.

Many Japanese friends said that this is the first time they have heard of such a thing. Could it be true? Like what is said in "Unnatural Death", [-]% of the remains of unnatural deaths in Japan are casually crowned with death without dissection the reason?

This discussion continued for a while in the reader circle, but it did not cause an event similar to a social disturbance.

But the seeds have already been planted, and it is estimated that such similar discussions will not decrease in the future, but will increase.

But no reader of Unnatural Death cares any more.

Because for them, the second volume of the book "Unnatural Death" will be released soon.

This is an opportunity for your favorite works to reach an average sales volume of 150 million volumes!

You must know that Higashino Division has not yet had a work that has sold more than 150 million volumes. The momentum of "Unnatural Death" is so strong that you can see hope with the naked eye.

This is fine for Japanese friends.

They are really willing to spend money for some authors they like.

If the average sales volume of 150 million volumes can be rushed, it will really witness the history of the comics industry again.

Many readers are looking forward to the second volume of "Unnatural Death".

Besides them, Urashima Publishing House is also waiting to see the results of "Unnatural Death".

Urashima Press, editorial team leader and editor-in-chief meeting.

"According to this momentum, the average sales volume of 150 million volumes is not a problem." Facing the group leaders of the Urashima editorial department, the editor-in-chief Urashima looked at the data curve table in his hand and nodded.

The first volume of "Unnatural Death" has sold a total of 140 million copies. As long as the second volume of "Unnatural Death" strives for success, it will definitely not be a problem to reach an average sales volume of 150 million volumes.

The reader survey for the latest chapter ten has also come out. Compared with the first five chapters, chapter ten has accumulated a lot of readers, and the number of positive votes is basically stable at around [-].

This is a very scary statistic.

150 million volumes are really easy to get. At this time, even if they open champagne at halftime, there is no problem.

"Leader Hosokawa, are you confident in stabilizing the average sales volume of 150 million volumes?" Editor-in-Chief Urashima looked up at Koharu Hosokawa who seemed to be distracted while sorting out the data sheet in his hand.

Hosokawa Koharu actually lost his mind, which is a rare thing. After all, Higashino is the author she is in charge of. Logically speaking, she should concentrate on recording the content of the meeting.

"The average sales volume of 150 million volumes." Hearing this figure that he had never thought of before, Hosokawa Koharu didn't think much at all, and he had already answered: "I think Mr. Higashino is stable, no problem."

If it was her before, she probably would have hesitated and thought for a long time before answering very carefully.

The result now?

After Hosokawa Koharu blurted out, he reacted with a dry cough, smiled and shook his head - he was indeed led by Dongyesi.

Higashinoji is definitely not an ordinary manga author who can be seen everywhere outside.

Even Urashima's editor-in-chief was stunned by Hosokawa Koharu's decisive and confident answer. He glanced at Hosokawa Koharu, and then said: "It's good to have confidence in yourself and the author's ability, but the Hosokawa Group You need to be a little more cautious. After the meeting, Team Leader Hosokawa, you can call Higashino-sensei and ask him about the future development of the plot. The average volume of 150 million volumes is too important for the current Urashima Publishing House. .”

The series of words he said were actually hints and reminders. I hope that Hosokawa Koharu will not be too blindly confident. There is always no harm in being cautious.

Hosokawa Koharu also heard the implication in the words of editor-in-chief Urashima that he had too much confidence in the author, which is a big taboo for Japanese industry editors.

But for some reason, she just felt that Higashinoji could do it.This is what she summed up from countless times of being surprised, dazed, and dazed.

Higashinoji can do it! You insist that I think it's not appropriate for him to be unable to do it?

It's as if Higashinoji was originally a sports car. If you want me to think of him as a bicycle, it's inappropriate to think of him, right?

Hosokawa Koharu didn't tell the editor-in-chief Urashima what she thought in her heart, she just nodded her head, indicating that she understood.

The meeting was almost over here, and the editor-in-chief Urashima reminded the other editorial team leaders to try to train one or two Higashino divisions to revive the glory of Urashima Publishing House.

What he said made the other editorial team leaders look bitter and depressed. You asked me to cultivate outstanding manga writers, but there is still a way to cultivate one or two Higashinos. Are you a bit too contemptuous of our pillars of Urashima Publishing House? up?

Hosokawa Koharu didn't care what they thought, she fulfilled her promise to the editor-in-chief Urashima as soon as she left the conference room, and called Higashino Tsukasa to ask him if he was sure to hit the average volume sales of 150 million volumes.

As soon as the call was made, it was connected by Dong Yesi over there.

It's only 150 million volumes. Surely Higashinoji is already at his fingertips, right?

Hosokawa Koharu thought about it, and said, "Teacher Higashino, I have something very important to ask you."

She only spoke in the middle of her words, and Dong Yesi over there also spoke: "Editor Hosokawa? Just right, I have something to ask you."

Uh

This unanimous performance made Xiaochun Hosokawa pause, she walked to the desk with her mobile phone in hand and said, "Teacher Dongye, please talk first."

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to tell Higashino about the average sales volume of 150 million volumes.

"Okay, then let me talk first." Higashino said, his voice also paused: "I just want to ask, editor Hosokawa, do you think "Unnatural Death" can reach the average sales volume of 200 million volumes when it ends? ?”

cough cough cough

Hosokawa Koharu was almost choked to death by Higashinoji's words, she wasn't surprised, but she felt a little unresponsive when she heard Higashinoji say that.

Yes, she really didn't react.

Urashima's editorial department is still discussing whether Higashino's "Unnatural Death" can reach an average sales volume of 150 million volumes. Even the editor-in-chief Urashima reminded himself not to let himself and Higashino become too inflated. 150 million volumes are not so simple. achieved.

The results of it?

As a result, Higashino immediately turned around and asked her if it was possible to reach an average sales volume of 200 million volumes.

You really have confidence, Higashino-sensei.

But Hosokawa Koharu thought about it carefully, and felt that "Unnatural Death" really had signs of an average sales volume of 200 million volumes.

After all, the second volume of "Unnatural Death" has already reached an average sales volume of 150 million volumes. If Higashino draws further, it is really possible to reach an average sales volume of 200 million volumes.

"It is indeed possible, Mr. Higashino." Hosokawa Koharu did not hide anything, and began to flip through the data curve table of Higashino Division's "Unnatural Death".

This is a very simple questionnaire, mainly to count the expectations of the readers of "Aversion Chill" for the various comics in "Aversion Chill" magazine.

These readers can provide four of the [-] comics serialized in "Bad Chill" to express their expectations, and they cannot vote repeatedly

Among them, "Unnatural Death" accounted for 60.00% at [-], ranking first in the top spot. He really hacked through the entire "Bad Chill" with a kitchen knife, and no one could beat him.

No.2 is "The Island of Desolation" by Meisa Kuromiya, who claims to be a disciple of Higashino, with more than 40.00%, which can be said to be a teacher-student mixed doubles.

Such a hot manga is indeed expected to sell 200 million volumes

"But it's just a hope. It's still a bit difficult to count." While Hosokawa Koharu gave hope, he didn't forget to vaccinate Higashinoji.

She has great confidence in Higashino Division, but she still has to say what should be said.

After all, the popularity of comics has never been fixed, and usually has ups and downs.

But Higashinoji obviously didn't care about this. After listening to Hosokawa Koharu's analysis, he just nodded thoughtfully: "I see, editor Hosokawa, you seem to have something to say to me just now? What is it probably? thing?"

He still remembered that Hosokawa Koharu said that he had something to do with him. Now that he had finished asking the questions on his side, of course he had to ask Hosokawa Koharu what was the matter.

"Uh, it's nothing serious." Hosokawa Koharu hesitated for a while, but didn't tell Higashino about the 150 million copies per volume.

This is like looking at Xueba, and you think that you have a perfect score of [-] on the test paper, and you are already very good.

Ke Xueba said that this is not enough, his goal is 150 points - not like what people can say.

So Hosokawa Koharu was a little embarrassed, and didn't want to talk about the 150 million sales.

"Really? Really nothing?" Hearing the voice of Hosokawa Koharu choking his words, Higashinoji was a little strange: "Editor Hosokawa, if you have any request for me, you can ask me, but the average sales volume of 250 million volumes I'm sure I can't make it, the results of "Unnatural Death" haven't reached that level yet."

"No, there's no such thing." Hosokawa Koharu blushed at the series of words from Higashino Division - 250 million?Mr. Higashino, stop talking, we only ask you to sell 150 million volumes.

She spoke a few more words with Dong Yesi, and then hung up the call.

But before Hosokawa Koharu put the phone in his pocket, the voice of the editor-in-chief Urashima already came from beside him.

"How is it? Team leader Hosokawa? Did you tell Mr. Higashino about the sale of 150 million volumes?"

"Ah, editor-in-chief Urashima." Koharu Hosokawa's mouth moved when she heard the latter sentence. She really wanted to tell the editor-in-chief Urashima that Tsukasa Higashino was challenging for an average sales volume of 200 million volumes, but in the end she still had no choice. Nodding: "Say it."

"Really? Then, Team Leader Hosokawa, please do your best. Stabilize the average sales of 150 million volumes." Editor-in-Chief Urashima smiled and patted Hosokawa Koharu on the shoulder, as if I liked you very much.

Hosokawa Koharu could only nod stiffly.

You see?This is what Hosokawa Koharu has been worrying about.

It's really not human inside and out

Higashino Division has a theory, Urashima editor-in-chief has a theory, and she is caught in the middle!

Hosokawa Koharu looked at the figure of editor-in-chief Urashima leaving, sighed heavily, and then took out his phone to check the time.

The second volume of Unnatural Death will be released soon.

This is a big deal.

No matter what you do, you have to think carefully.

While she was thinking like this on her side, Higashinosi on the other side also turned his head to look at "Unnatural Death" in front of him.

He has completely mastered the knack of painting "Unnatural Death" until now.

It is no problem to break through the average sales volume of 150 million volumes, but it is really difficult to climb to the average sales volume of 200 million volumes.

How can the 50 volumes in the middle be broken through?

Looking at the system page in his field of vision, Higashino raised his eyebrows.

During this period of time, the popularity points he obtained jumped up another level.

It is only more than 50 points away from redeeming the next painting skill, tracing and recording.

Add special effects to the ears?Let them listen to the Japanese song "Lemon" by former talented singer Kenshi Yonezu?

Is there really such a possibility?

　Thanks to Mitaku Tongmoe, Tianyu Amazawa, and Shanchuan Tongliu for their rewards!Thank you so much!
