tokyo writer

But she did not deny it. After all, Xi Dao had served as her assistant for 2 years, and she knew that the other party was not a person who just talked about it.

Since it was such a solemn commission, Xidao must have his own considerations in it.

In addition, she also has her own curiosity in it.What kind of book could make her assistant so obsessed.

She knew that the other party had never liked traditional literature very much, but preferred to read shoujo manga and so on.

Seeing that Miyagi Fumie agreed to her request, Nishijima Kyoko also straightened up with a happy smile on her face.

……

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Miyagi Fumie finished her day's work and returned to her bedroom after washing up.

Her bedtime is 1am, and she has 3 hours to attend to her own affairs before then.

Today, she plans to use this time to take a closer look at whether the story told by Ryoko Nishijima is as good as she said.

She lit a piece of aromatherapy, then took the manuscript, lay on the bed in a position that made her feel comfortable, and opened the manuscript.

With curiosity, she read on carefully.

But as she read it, she found that she was completely immersed in the changes in the plot of the story, and even forgot her original plan to watch it for only 3 hours.

This work is really interesting. Although it still describes the scene and arrangement of the murder, it makes it difficult for people to feel disgusted with the murderer who did all this.

No wonder, because of this work, Nishijima couldn't even sleep well, and even entrusted himself to do a good job in related cover design.

That Akihara-san, no, it should be called Akihara-sensei, this work is really amazing!

At the beginning, I thought that he was purely out of the blind arrogance of the creator, but now that I think about it, my vision is really wrong.

Next time we meet, apologize to the other party.

Time passed bit by bit, and after turning to the last page, Miyagi Fumie found that the sky outside the window was bright, and the clouds in the distance were even stained with the color of the rising sun.

She didn't take it seriously, but thought about another problem.

As a designer, she must consider how to design the cover of this work.

At the original time, she only planned to design a few covers based on the outline of the story and the commonly used cover templates.

Although this saves trouble, if it does not match the theme of this work, once the work sells well and sells well.No doubt it will be criticized by many readers.

At that time, it is not even ruled out that peers will take the opportunity to criticize her, thereby losing some potential customers.

No, no, it seems that we still need to think about the main line of the story, and then design it carefully.

Miyagi Fumie got out of bed, made herself a cup of coffee, then sat at the desk, took out a pen and paper, and began to scribble and correct on the paper.

The cover of a book is a guide to bring readers into the content of the story. It must highlight the theme of the story on the premise of following a balance.The graphic effect used in the cover design can directly affect the reader's desire to buy the book.

She designed a simple frame plan, but felt dissatisfied, so she crumpled up the paper and threw it aside.

Forget it, I won't be accepting appointment customers for a few days, let's make this cover first.

After making this decision, she immediately called Kyoko Nishijima, "Nishijima, help me push all the appointments for these 3 days to next week or next week, please."

Kyoko Nishijima was asleep, but was awakened by the sound of the phone. She listened to the content on the phone with a shocked face.

Miyagi-sensei, it's only 5 o'clock in the morning...

[95.Chapter 95 Gifts and Customers]

Anjiu Bookstore, second floor.

When Miyagi Fumie was thinking about how to design the cover, Akihara Yuto was invited here to participate in the promotion planning meeting hosted by Yakutsu Goichi.

Because there is no special meeting room, everyone can only make do with the meeting in Goichi Akutsu's office. Some people sit on chairs, some sit on the sofa, and some simply stand.

As a partner and client, Hiroto Akihara was placed on the sofa, the second farthest from the gate.

As soon as An Jiujin coughed, he presided over the meeting. He first introduced Akihara Yuto to the other five people on the field: "This is Mr. Akihara Yuto, a writer who has already debuted."

After the lecture, Akutsu Goichi also introduced the five employees next to him, named Satake Maki, Itakura Naka, Oka Yusho, Nagao Teppei, Nishijima Sota, responsible for proofreading, editing, sales, and publicity , administrative work, etc.

Hiroto Akihara stood up, bowed and greeted everyone on the field.

At this moment, the female editor named Maki Satake stood up and asked tentatively, "Is this Mr. Akihara who was serialized in "New Novel"?"

Akihara Hiroto was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect to meet his reader here, so he nodded.

Satake Maki confirmed his identity, immediately became happy, and said pleasantly: "Mr. Akihara, I am a loyal fan of your works. I have bought and collected every issue of the "ZOO" series!"

The other 4 people were also surprised when they heard it, and started whispering.

Just when Akihara Yuto didn't know how to respond, An Jiujin who was on the side "coughed" heavily, "Satake, it's time for the meeting."

The president spoke, and Satake Maki realized that he was too jumpy, subconsciously shrank his head, and then sat down obediently.

As soon as An Jiujin saw that everyone was quiet, he nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "Okay, now let's get into today's topic."

He looked around, and then said: "Let everyone come here today, mainly to talk about the cooperation between Anjiu Bookstore and Teacher Qiuyuan, which is to release the work "Devotion of Suspect X". Before the release, We need to make a detailed plan."

After saying this, he turned his attention to Hiroto Akihara, "Teacher Akihara, for the first batch of published books, we plan to cooperate with the bookstore to promote them in the form of gifts."

"As for the specific form of the gift, we still need to discuss it here."

Hiroto Akihara asked, "Can you tell me the specific budget?"

Ajiujin just waved his hand, "The total budget is about 200 million yen, and the unit price should be kept within 100 yen as much as possible. We used this method for the two books that sold [-] copies before at Anjiu Bookstore."

Hearing this, Hiroto Akihara began to think.

Since signing the contract last time, he found that he didn't know enough about the affairs of the publishing industry, so he went to find a lot of books to study, and learned a lot from them.Not only that, he also listed all the best-selling books in recent years through the sales statistics table, and carefully analyzed the reasons why these books can sell well.

To be honest, the method of giving gifts, in his research, is more suitable for some women to magazines.

Hiroto Akihara shook his head and said, "President Yasuhisa, the two best-selling books before were "Red Wine Tasting" and "How to Dress Exquisitely", right?"

"Yes."

"May I ask what the giveaway for the two books is?"

As soon as An Jiujin hadn't answered, Satake Maki took the conversation and replied in a crisp voice: "They are a bottle opener and a bracelet."

Akihara Yuto replied: "I see."

After having this premise, he had his own ideas in mind.After a pause, Hiroto Akihara said, "President Yasuhisa, I don't agree with the way of giving gifts."
