Hiroto Akihara nodded, even if the other party didn't mention it, he would have said it. After all, as an author, he still hoped that the designed cover would meet his wishes.

Having said that, the current version of "Suspect X" has a different background, readership and promotion methods from the previous life. Can it still be a big hit?

Looking at the setting sun in the distance, he couldn't help thinking about this question...

[93.Chapter 93 Design Studio]

At 9 o'clock in the morning of the day after tomorrow, Yakutsu Goichi drove a small car with Hiroto Akihara to the direction of Setagaya District.

After a 50-minute drive, the two arrived at their destination - a gate of Yihujian with the word "Miyagi" hanging on it.

As soon as An Jiujin stepped forward to press the doorbell, he heard footsteps, and then a woman in a kimono opened the door.

As soon as An Jiujin met the other party, he immediately introduced himself: "I am An Jiujin Goichi from An Jiu Bookstore. I want to see Miyagi-sensei. I have already made an appointment for this morning."

The woman in the kimono showed a nice professional smile, then bowed slightly, said "Please follow me", and led the two of them inside.

Soon, the two were brought to a tea room and arranged to sit down.After a while, the woman in kimono politely poured two more cups of tea and left.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to arrange a meeting directly, Akihara Hiroto was a little puzzled for a while, and asked Akutsu Goichi, "President Anku, what kind of person is this Miyagi-sensei?"

An Jiujin took a sip from his teacup, and then replied: "Miyagi-sensei, you are an amazing designer."

In his description, Akihara Hiroto gradually understood the situation of the other party.

This Miyagi teacher, whose full name is Miyagi Fumie, graduated from Musashino Art University.After graduating, she first worked in graphic design in France for more than 10 years before returning to Neon to set up her own studio.

An Jiujin just sighed: "Akihara-san, to be honest, if it wasn't for a friend's introduction, no one would be willing to accept my business."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, he could see what Akutsu Goichi was thinking, and he just wanted to claim credit for himself.

But Hiroto Akihara didn't say anything, after all, the better the cover, the more guaranteed the sales of the book.

Hiroto Akihara picked up the teacup, looked at the tea leaves soaked in boiling water, and thought about the suggestions he wanted to say.

To be honest, he is actually a little worried. Although President Anjiu emphasized that the other party's design ability is very strong, this kind of designer often has his own set of ideas in it, and sometimes he may pursue the aesthetic feeling too much and ignore the readers who see the cover. after the reaction.

And the cover he wanted was not a work of art full of beauty.

As soon as An Jiujin saw that Akihara Yuto was silent, he thought he was a little nervous, so he took the initiative to chat. Akihara Yuto also nodded and responded with a smile.

Time passed little by little, and soon an hour and a half passed.

An Jiujin was a little confused at first. He made an appointment at 10:11, but now it is already [-]:[-], no matter how you say it, it is too long.

He stood up, walked to the tea room, and asked the woman in kimono: "Well, may I ask... It should be the time we made an appointment, right?"

The woman in kimono bowed slightly, and responded politely: "I'm very sorry, because there are other guests here temporarily."

She paused, and added: "Can you please come back at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Akihara Yuto was a little dissatisfied, and was about to say a few words, but he was stopped by Yasuzu Goichi.As soon as An Jiujin smiled, expressing his understanding, he led Akihara Yuto out.

Walking out of the gate of the yard, Akihara Yuto was a little dissatisfied and a little confused. After all, as the president of a publishing house, Yasutsu Goichi was treated so rudely by a design studio, so he should express it.

Ajiujin Gangichi seemed to see through his thoughts, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Akihara, you probably don't understand how I took you away just now, right?"

Hiroto Akihara nodded.

An Jiujin gave a wry smile, and then continued: "As a well-known designer, Mr. Miyagi, the companies he cooperates with are often large publishing houses or listed companies. It is only natural for a precarious small publishing house like ours to be underestimated." of."

In fact, he was a little conflicted in his heart, after all, no one would be very happy to know that his appointment was interrupted by others.

But he has been in society for so many years, and he also knows that this matter is taken for granted to a certain extent.

After all, the strong naturally have the privileges of the strong.

After hearing this explanation, Akihara Yuto could only express comfort: "President Anjiu, take your time, sooner or later, you will also be able to grow Anjiu Bookstore."

In fact, he still has another idea. If he can really get a sum of money from the big sale of "Suspect X" this time, then he can continue to cooperate with the other party in the future.

With the many works of his previous life, even if he gave the other party a sip of soup, he could get a lot of benefits.

As soon as An Jiujin didn't know what Akihara Yuto was thinking, he mistakenly thought that Akihara Yuto was comforting him, and said politely: "Thank you, Akihara-sensei."

……

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the two came to this design studio again.There was no accident this time, the woman in kimono led her directly to a traditional Japanese room, and met this designer named Miyagi Fumie.

The other party was about 50 years old, wearing a pair of glasses and a plain kimono.And on her body, there is a maverick temperament, which is a bit out of tune with the dress on her body.

After the two sides introduced themselves, they were arranged to sit opposite to Miyagi by the woman in kimono. Immediately afterwards, the Miyagi designer asked a question: "Can you briefly explain the design purpose of the cover of this book? and the idea behind it.”

An Jiujin coughed lightly, and then replied: "Our design intention is to allow readers to see it in the pile of books at first glance, but we don't want it to be too obtrusive, so that it fits as closely as possible with the background of the story. ?”

Miyagi Fumie asked suspiciously: "The background of the story, can I ask Aku-san to briefly describe it."

An Jiujin just nodded, and then started talking.But I don’t know if it’s because he hasn’t published many literature books, even though he talked for more than half an hour, he still didn’t tell the story clearly.

Hearing the people next to him feel foggy.

Akihara Hiroto twitched his mouth, he knew it would be better to explain it himself; Miyagi Fumie on the other side frowned and interrupted Akutsu Goichi: "Aku-san, I can only describe the story. "

Hearing these words, An Jiujin just showed an embarrassed expression, and Akihara Yuto took the words and replied: "Is this a story about love?"

"love story?"

"Yes, the story of a man who, out of love in his heart, chose to sacrifice himself to protect the one he loved."

After Miyagi Fumie listened, she was even more confused.

"But according to An Jiusang, the content of this book is a reasoning story?"

"These two things don't conflict, do they?"

Miyagi Fumie felt a little dissatisfied, she agreed to accept this business entirely because of her acquaintance, time is very precious, and she didn't come here to listen to riddles.

On the other side, Hiroto Akihara bowed, "Although I heard that designers don't need to read the content of the book when designing the cover, I still hope you can take a closer look at this book. Please, this is my request as the author."

As soon as An Jiujin saw Akihara bowing, he also bowed, "Please."

Miyagi Fumie fell into hesitation. She originally planned to just understand clearly, and then design a few cover plans as soon as possible.

But if you want to read a book, it is bound to waste a lot of time.

So, do you want to accept it?

[94.Chapter 93 cover design (rewrite)]

Facing the request of Akihara Yuto and Yakutsu Goichi, Miyagi Fumie did not directly agree. For her, time is so precious, how can she just waste it on reading an insignificant novel.
