Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 58

"Ranked No. [-] in reader ratings?"

When Hosokawa Koharu on the other end of the phone told Dongyesi the news, he was busy in the kitchen at home.

This is the first?

Higashino Division felt that the surprise came too quickly.

After all, he is also aware of Urashima Publishing House's support for "Between Dolls".

So even if he is confident in the quality of "Midnight Ring", he still feels that he still needs to accumulate a reader base.

But he never expected that "Midnight Bell" would be so successful, and it would lose the first place in Urashima Publishing's "Chill" weekly magazine in the second episode.

But thinking about it the other way around, Dong Yesi felt that this seemed to be quite a normal thing.

After all, the original work of "Midnight Ring" was like this in Japan. With a knife, he hacked from the north of the Japanese island to the south of the Japanese island, killing all over the island and finding no opponent.

"Teacher Dongye, how do you feel now?"

When Hosokawa Xiaochun saw that there was no sound coming from the other end of the phone, her heart was moved, and then she remembered what Dongyesi said before.

Is it possible that you are not satisfied with this product?

Maybe it is so!

Hosokawa Koharu has been in contact with Higashinoji many times, and knows that the other party is a strict self-disciplined person, but the reader's praise rate has won the first place, and other authors will probably die of envy after reading it.

Then what is he going to do next?Break out of the earth and run into the universe?

So she asked suspiciously: "Is it Mr. Dongye still not satisfied?"

"Ah? No, I'm quite satisfied with this result." Only then did Higashino regain his senses, and replied apologetically.

"That's good." Hosokawa Xiaoharu thought that you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, then you may only be satisfied if other companies find you to endorse, or you are adapted from comics and animations, right?

But good news is good news.

Hosokawa Koharu felt that it was necessary to remind Higashinoji a little bit, so that he should not be complacent and neglect manga creation just because of this achievement.

After all, this is just a first time, and if you want to succeed, you must keep it up.

That's what most editors do.

So Hosokawa Koharu coughed lightly, and just about to speak——

"However, editor Hosokawa, I don't think we should be complacent about this small achievement."

Higashinosi on the phone side untied his apron and sat down, and continued to say to Hosokawa Koharu, "It's just a first. I think we both need to work harder to keep this first."

At the end, Higashino Division added another question: "Do you think this is the truth? Editor Hosokawa."

"Ah? Oh, that's for sure." Xiaochun Hosokawa opened his mouth, feeling a little inexplicably wronged in his heart: "That's what I wanted to say, but you said it faster than me."

yes!That's what I want to say!Obviously I am the editor, why do you want to grab my words?

She was really aggrieved and confused, how could there be such an author?Encourage editors to make persistent efforts?

Hosokawa Koharu thought that before the editor-in-chief Urashima left, he asked himself to remind Higashinoji not to be too anxious.

But now, where do I want her to persuade me? !

Higashino Division even reminded her in turn.

Hosokawa Koharu seemed to be holding her breath in her chest, and she couldn't swallow it, so she simply started to ask about work: "How is the third chapter of "Midnight Ring" going?"

"The third chapter is almost finished, maybe a page or two away, and I also took the time to make a draft of the fourth chapter."

Higashino Division told Hosokawa Koharu the truth of the situation, and then heard Hosokawa Koharu muttering on the other end of the phone: "So fast? Did you draw the storyboard of the fourth episode?"

"What's wrong? Editor Hosokawa?"

Her voice was so small that Dong Yesi only heard it, so she couldn't help asking.

"Ah? It's nothing. I just think Mr. Higashino's drawing is too fast. The draft of Chapter [-] has been finished."

Hosokawa Koharu on the phone said half-jokingly: "If this goes on like this, I don't think Mr. Higashino needs to edit anymore."

It's just that there is a little grievance in the voice.

How much she hopes that Higashino will rely on her

"Really? I think editing is still very important. Without the support of Hosokawa, it would be difficult for me to get to this point."

Higashino said with a smile, his voice was quite sincere.

"Really? Does Higashino-sensei really think I'm useful? As an editor, I should be pretty reliable, right?"

For some reason, Hosokawa Koharu on the phone suddenly became a little excited.

Higashino Division was baffled by her suddenly raised attitude.

So he replied subconsciously: "Yes, thanks to Hosokawa for editing."

"That's it"

Hosokawa Koharu on the phone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter? Editor Hosokawa?" Higashino asked.

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing. Let's work hard together, Mr. Higashino. Try to make "Midnight Ring" even better."

"Of course."

After talking with Hosokawa Koharu for a few more words, Higashino put down the phone.

The fire of "Midnight Ring" made Higashino feel very good.

And when someone is happy, someone is naturally sad, or even unhappy.

Akasaka Kazu is such a person.

As the editor-in-chief of Fuji Publishing's "Chaojin" magazine, he naturally wants to direct public opinion to the disadvantage of "Midnight Ring", but——

Can't really find any spots to spray

No, if you want to say that you can spray it, you can actually find it if you just look for it.

But now the trend of the "Midnight Ring" fire has been established, and many magazines have published new articles.

This time, it's not about flattery, but it's really solemnly touting "Midnight Bell" as the dark horse of the new generation of comics.

And most of the readers affirmed this trend.

If we go against the trend, not to mention "Chao Jin", it is estimated that many readers will be lost.

After all, the naval forces and trolls on the Japanese side are not like the Chinese side, they pay attention to what they say.

If there is no grounds for spouting, "Chao Jin" will definitely be pulled out by angry "Midnight Ring" fans to set fire.

As the main writer, Akasaka Kazuya is naturally not stupid enough to the point of "there is no black spot, but it is hard to be black".

After thinking about it, he could only sigh and shake his head, and decided that "Chaojin" would not publish information about "Midnight Bell" for the time being, and instead focus on several other comics in "Aversion to Chill" that have received the lowest ratings from readers.

This method of pretending to be dead will not bring more heat to "Midnight Ring", and secondly, it will not be attacked by its fans. It is a relatively compromise method.

but--

Akasaka Kazuya turned his head to look at the rotten tea table and benches piled up in the corner, his blood pressure was almost not full.

Some time ago, the Akasaka family just replaced the furniture, so these are also new products, especially the wood grain of the coffee table is very tasteful, but I smashed it into pieces after watching "The Chill", leaving only a piece of wood leg

And the most important thing is that there is something wrong with the way my wife looks at me recently.

""The Ring at Midnight""

Akasaka Kazuya sighed heavily.

That Mr. Higashino is really his nemesis.
