Madam, I Really Like You More.

"Ms. Hasegawa, you may think that it is not normal. However, we have collected a lot of materials and information here. In fact, the sales of the previous [-] copies seem to be just a warm-up. The next "Tokyo" "Ghoul" is really popular, and the [-] copies of the third printing, according to our calculations, should be able to sell almost within this month."

"Really?" Hasegawa was surprised.

"Of course it's true. After all, our publishing house will not engage in loss-making business. Especially, Mr. Hasegawa, the content of your second volume is even more exciting than the previous one. And not just The content, as well as the writing style, have also become more excellent than the previous level. At the same time, the arrangement of the plot and various double lines are also arranged just right. Mr. Hasegawa, you are really improving too fast. " Machida Sonoko praised without hesitation.

Hasegawa had given the second volume of "Tokyo Ghoul" to Machida Enko long ago, and after seeing the manuscript of the second volume, Machida Enko had already confirmed its quality.Even if it wasn't for the fact that some word habits in the second volume were the same as those in the first volume, she would even wonder whether Hasegawa had invited a powerful person to come to the content of the second volume. Ghostwriter.

Chapter 31 Compliments from professional editors

"After all, this is the first time, so I am not yet proficient. After finishing the first volume, I have already begun to familiarize myself with this writing process, so in terms of quality, the second volume will naturally be better than the first volume Some." Hasegawa explained.

"Is that so? Indeed, newcomers may not get used to it at the beginning, so there will be some mistakes or flaws in the works, but, Mr. Hasegawa, your strength is still really powerful. Generally speaking, But there are very few rookies with such strength as Sensei Hasegawa." Sonoko Machida praised Hasegawa without hesitation.

Hasegawa just smiled at this, he knew his own situation.In fact, if there is no system added.Writing a novel is definitely not an easy task for him.

"Ms. Hasegawa, the third printing of [-] volumes of royalties will also call you later. Just pay attention to receiving bank information when the time comes."

"Well, I will." Hasegawa nodded, and another sum of money came into the account, which is a very good thing for Hasegawa.

"About what you said before, I wanted to speed up the publication. I also discussed with the publishing house before. As a result, I also told you that the sales of "Tokyo Ghoul" need to reach a certain level. It's just that The requirements seemed a bit high at the time." Sonoko Machida began to talk about it.

"I understand. After all, every industry has its own rules." Hasegawa nodded understandingly.

"That's right, so if you want to change the rules, you can only rely on the results. Although "Tokyo Ghoul" has just started selling, its results are indeed very good. So, if the sales of the third printing can be achieved in this It will be sold out within one month, that is to say, if "Tokyo Ghoul" can sell [-] copies in the first month after it goes on sale, then the publishing house will agree to your request, Mr. Hasegawa. Publish one volume every month. Of course, the premise is that the works you write must be of sufficient quality."

Machida Sonoko began to talk about this matter: "However, in my personal opinion, the sales volume of Mr. Hasegawa's works is actually not a problem at all. Publish one volume a month, as long as you can write it, then it will be fine. published."

"Really?" There was a smile on Hasegawa's face, which was good news for him.

In fact, because of the accident at Mrs. Yuhihama's house, Hasegawa needed money at that time, so he gave a strong feedback to Sonoko Machida.It's just that I didn't expect that that matter had been perfectly resolved, although because of that matter, I owed Shizuka Hiratsuka a favor, so that Hasegawa had to pretend to be Shizuka Hiratsuka's boyfriend twice afterwards.But that too is now in the past.

But although the situation is different.But Hasegawa didn't have any opinion on this. His novel could be published quickly, and Hasegawa was more willing to accept it.

Probably because of the previous incident, Hasegawa once again realized the importance of money. If he had enough money in his hand, no matter what kind of problems he encountered, he could use money to solve them.

Therefore, at this time, Hasegawa hoped that he would have enough money.Therefore, if the novels he wrote can be published quickly and accumulate money quickly, Hasegawa will only feel happy, and will not feel regretful.

"Actually, I have great expectations for the sales of your novel, Mr. Hasegawa. Before, because of publicity and word of mouth and other reasons, not many people came to buy the novel, but then As more and more people buy, and more and more people know about this novel, then its sales will also increase." Machida Sonoko showed a trace of excitement on his face.

"Is Editor Machida so optimistic about "Tokyo Ghoul"?" Hasegawa was a little surprised at the time, but also had some surprises.

After all, Machida Sonoko is a professional editor, and it is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Hasegawa to receive such praise from a professional editor.

It's like, when you sing a song, ordinary people will probably comment like this: Damn, it sounds good!Although you will be happy to hear it,

But in the mouth of professional instructors, their praise will make you happier and even more excited.There is a very big gap between professional recognition and non-professional recognition.

"I am very optimistic about "Tokyo Ghoul". It is different from many light novels. Not only the storyline is very exciting, but there are many parts in it that are all about the consideration of human nature. To be honest, if it is not for its story It's a light novel, and I can't help but wonder if it's a traditional published novel." Sonoko Machida praised again.

"You are too much, this is just a light novel." Hasegawa couldn't help scratching his head, really a little shy.

"There is no element of praise. The plot is intertwined, and the various reversals are very exciting. The writing style is far better than that of ordinary light novel writers. Not to mention, it can perfectly combine the human part with the main line of the story. This is definitely a rare boutique." Machida Sonoko gave Hasegawa a thumbs up.

Hasegawa was very happy in his heart. Except for the idea of ​​this novel, which he heard by accident, the rest of the content was completely created by him relying on his brain. Well, it is okay to rely on this system.

Hasegawa spent a lot of energy and effort on this novel, and was able to create a work that was recognized by others, how could Hasegawa be unhappy.

Next, Sonoko Machida talked with Sonoko Hasegawa based on the plot of "Tokyo Ghoul", and Sonoko Hasegawa told Sonoko Machida about the arrangements behind the novel.Machida Sonoko also gave Hasegawa some advice based on her strength and vision as an editor.

Not to mention, Machida Sonoko's suggestion is quite reasonable and quite good in some respects.

For this part, Hasegawa readily accepted it.Seeing Hasegawa's willingness to accept the proposal, Machida Sonoko couldn't help but smile.

After all, there are quite a few light novel writers, even if you give him advice as an editor, the other party will more often introduce what he is doing, what is the role of writing, and what are the benefits.It may even turn the editor into a pissed off.

There are also some, the editor gave him suggestions, and the author over there agreed well, either nodding all the time, or always saying yes.But when I really started to write, the other party still wrote according to their own ideas.It's probably the kind of feeling that you can say whatever you want, but I firmly don't accept it.

My arms look so tired, I almost didn't write it.Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and wrote it out.

Chapter 32 Signing Event

"One last thing." Sonoko Machida straightened her body slightly and said to Hasegawa.

"One last thing? Please say."

"The signing event, the publisher wants to hold a signing event for you." Sonoko Machida smiled: "Holding the signing event will increase the cohesion of readers, and at the same time stimulate sales. Ghoul's sales are growing."

"A signing event?" Hasegawa frowned slightly.

"That's right, this is an opportunity that many writers want. And Mr. Hasegawa is just a newcomer, and the first volume of "Tokyo Ghoul" has just started selling, and the publishing house is willing to hold a signing ceremony for you." Sales fair, this is an opportunity that many people want but can't get. I have worked so hard to win for you, and you should thank me very much." Machida Sonoko said to Hasegawa with a face full of credit. Said.

Hasegawa couldn't help but scratched his head: "I think it's better to avoid the signing event or something. I always feel, like, a little, uh—"

"Why is it exempted? Mr. Hasegawa, as an editor, I managed to get this for you. And you can also communicate with your readers face to face. Mr. Hasegawa, don't you want to publish a volume a month? Light novels? The signing event will help the sales of the novel. Maybe after the signing event is held, the publishing house will immediately agree." Machida Sonoko said hastily.

"That's it." Hasegawa still had a bit of hesitation on his face. He was not very willing to participate in this kind of activity, but Machida Sonoko was right.

"This is a good thing. And with the increase in the sales of Ms. Hasegawa's novels, signing events like this will be held sooner or later. Why refuse?" Machida Sonoko couldn't help shaking her head to persuade.

"I'm just a little hesitant."

"Why hesitate? This is obviously a good thing, many people want to hold it but can't do it."

"It's just that it's probably because he doesn't want to show off too much." Hasegawa thought for a while and explained.

"Don't want to be in the limelight? Mr. Hasegawa, you are really special. People of Mr. Hasegawa's age like to show off, especially in front of girls. But Mr. Hasegawa, you don't feel like you at all. People of this age." Sonoko Machida couldn't help shaking her head.

"Maybe, maybe I'm old inside."
