tokyo writer

After saying this, she bowed, "Qiu Yuan, thank you for your hard work!"

Hearing this number, Hiroto Akihara stood up subconsciously. He was deeply shocked and even suspected that Aiko Asano was joking with him.

The sales volume of "New Novel" in the previous week was less than 3 copies, but now it is more than 3 copies a day. This figure can't even be reached by "Tokyo Literature", right?

Is Asano going to drink again, or is he crazy about sales?

He was a little cranky for a while, and even wanted to step forward to smell if the other party smelled of alcohol, but he felt that this was not good, so he just looked at her suspiciously, and then said, "Asano, are you drunk again?"

Asano Aiko did not expect to get this reply.After she got the data for the first time, she wanted to celebrate the achievement of the novel with Hiroto Akihara, but the other party not only didn't believe it, but even suspected that she was drunk.

For a moment, she was so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave.

She gave Hiroto Akihara a white look, and handed over the statistical report in her hand: "Here are the statistics, you can see for yourself."

Hiroto Akihara took it and read it carefully.

“周二数据统计，经销商渠道销量1万1千册，直销渠道销量1万2千册，其中新宿区销量1千5百、港区销量2千、世田谷销量2千……”

Akihara Yuto scanned it from beginning to end, and found that there was indeed no problem, so he could only admit what Aiko Asano said, after all, she had no reason to lie to him.

But what actually happened made "New Novel" Xianyu turn around.He thought for a while and raised doubts: "What happened?"

Aiko Asano didn't give a shit, and directly told the reason. It was the writer Yosuke Miyagawa who watched the stage play before, and published a book review on the "Neon Industry Review" released on Tuesday morning.

"Neon Industry Review" is currently the top three newspapers, with a circulation of 272 million, which naturally attracted a lot of book fans to buy, which led to the miracle of "New Novel" reaching a circulation of 3 copies on Tuesday.

Her tone of voice was very steady, but her heart was actually very restless.

In the morning, someone from the statistics class suddenly came to inform the editorial department that the number of publications and reprints of "New Novel" was sold out, and the sales volume reached 3 copies on Tuesday.

At that time, the entire editorial department was silent, and many people even suspected that the other party was joking.

Editor-in-Chief Tai Kikuchi pulled colleagues from the statistics department into the editor-in-chief's office, asked him three times, and then called the person in charge of the publication bureau to confirm the authenticity of the news.

After confirming that it was true, Kikuchi Taihe and everyone in the editorial department announced the result.

Everyone froze for a moment, and then cheers and applause immediately erupted. Although they didn't know the reason for the skyrocketing sales, since the editor-in-chief said so, the results must be real.

Asano Aiko immediately copied a statistical report, and drove over to Akihara Hiroto, wanting to share the good news as soon as possible.

While driving, she received a call from Tata Kikuchi and was told the reason for the soaring sales.

When Akihara Yuto learned the reason, he realized that he had misunderstood Asano, but he didn't bother to apologize, and immediately went to the inbox at the door to pick up the newspaper - he subscribed to many newspapers, but only when he was free. Will take a look.

He took the "Neon Industry Review", spread it out on the small square table in the living room, and began to read it word by word.

This book review by Yosuke Miyagawa is mainly published on the B4 page of this newspaper, which is the cultural life section, and I don’t know if it’s because Yosuke Miyagawa is more influential. The position of this book review site is relatively high, which can be regarded as A little headline.

The title of this book review is "The Warmth of Sadness", which occupies the upper third of the page, and is about 3000 words long. Judging from the content, it is unabashedly optimistic.

"Last night I read Hiroto Akihara's work "Poetry to the Sun". This article brought me a very big surprise. I have to say that in the past few years in the literary world, there have been very few such talented authors... "

"It is generally believed that robots are considered cold and rational, and keep a distance from emotions, but the story of "Poetry to the Sun" has a robot girl as the protagonist, with the help of her vision, to learn love and death, It expounds a kind of reflection and perception on life and death."

"The author seems to want to express a point of view, that is, the deeper the love, the heavier the meaning of death. From this point of view, the relationship between death and love is just two sides of the same thing..."

Hiroto Akihara scanned from the beginning to the end, and found that this book reviewer named Yosuke Miyagawa is indeed a writer, and his writing style is extremely good. Although there are no particularly gorgeous words, he clearly explained the connotation of the story of "Poetry of the Sun" , and it won't be too spoilery, it just makes people have an urge to buy.

Next to this book review, there is also a sidebar, which lists all the works written by Hiroto Akihara before, and gives corresponding short comments.

"Little Decoration and Yoko", "Seven Rooms", "ZOO", "So far", "Looking for Blood" and "The White House in the Cold Forest", basically listed them all, and then all the short reviews, also It's basically praise and praise.

After reading it, Hiroto Akihara pondered for a moment, looked at Aiko Asano who was drinking tea, and asked, "The editorial department...is there any push this time?"

He still didn't believe in such a good thing, the other party was the book reviewer of the top three neon-selling newspapers, and he was also a member of the Mystery Writers Association, so why would he write a recommendation for a newcomer like himself for no reason.

Is it true that because of the stage play, I started to appreciate his articles?

Aiko Asano understood Akihara's concerns and explained.

"This time the book review, the editorial department did not contribute. In fact, this kind of newspaper with a circulation of more than 2 million copies has a budget of over [-] million yen even for a corner advertisement."

She put down the tea in her hand, took the newspaper from Hiroto Akihara, and continued to add: "Moreover, Mr. Yosuke Miyagawa is a well-known writer, and he is not affiliated with the newspaper, so it is impossible for him to write such soft articles."

Asano Aiko let out a long sigh.

"Akihara, stop pretending. No wonder you were going to participate in the stage play of the Igawa Akemi Club. It seems that you have already planned this. Sorry, I misunderstood you."

Akihara Hiroto was a little dumbfounded for a while, he just wanted to earn some extra money and improve his adaptation ability by the way, but he didn't expect to be understood by Asano Aiko in this way.

But this is good news!

He thought for a while, and said to Asano Aiko who was holding a newspaper to read: "Asano, are you free this afternoon? Can you accompany me to a place."

"Yes, yes, but where to?" She was a little puzzled, and then looked carefully at Akihara Yuto's face, which suddenly felt a little hot.

Is the other party finally enlightened?

[55.Chapter 55 Psychological "abnormal"]

In Tokyo in August, the temperature is as high as 8 degrees Celsius, like a big oven that can cook people.

Moreover, it is also the hottest time of the year. Due to the influence of the temperate marine climate, the air is also very humid, making it extremely uncomfortable to breathe.

Now all the shops and shopping malls on the street have basically turned the air conditioner to the maximum.But it's just a drop in the bucket for the heat waves that hit the streets from time to time.

Hiroto Akihara has a deep understanding of this. Before he moved, he had trouble falling asleep on hot summer nights because there was no air conditioner.

While tossing and tossing at the time, he suddenly realized that it was not unreasonable for a series of Neon films to use Tokyo is hot as the name!

But now he asked Asano Aiko if she was free, just wanted to take the other party's car and go to the Internet cafe.

After all, in the hot weather right now, going outside would mean losing half your life.

After knowing Akihara Yuto's request, Asano Aiko was a little speechless for a while, but agreed, and drove him to the destination—it was the Internet cafe Akihara Yuto went to last time.

After paying at the front desk, the two walked into a small cubicle together. Because the space was not big, they could only watch the computer next to each other.

Asano Aiko looked at Akihara Yuto, who was close at hand, felt his breath, and suddenly felt that it seems that this is not bad...

Hiroto Akihara didn't notice the change in Asano Aiko's expression. He looked at the lit screen, clicked the mouse skillfully and typed the keyboard, and after trying the password several times, he logged in to the forum he had seen last time.

Soon, he found search content related to "New Novel". Compared with before, there are now hundreds of posts.

He casually clicked on one and looked at it, and found that the evaluation was much better. Although some users still ridiculed the overall quality, there were also a group of users who gave good reviews, and started to fight with other users.

He researched the situation of these users and found that the user accounts who praised the works were mainly registered after July, and the centralized reply time was mainly concentrated in August. It seems that they should be loyal readers who have read several issues in a row. The reply content is mainly It's the same "worth a look," "highly recommended," and "not bad" stuff.
