Revive it!Wenhao Press

The person in charge of Eden Bookstore was still talking on the phone very fast.At the same time, inquiry emails from various bookstores poured into Hoshinosha's mailbox, which made people feel dizzy.

Among them, many bookstores directly expressed their desire to publish as soon as possible, and have already finalized the desired purchase volume.Some bookstores sent emails after the live broadcast announced the Excellence Award and Excellent Poetry Award, and a few minutes later, after learning that the highest award was also for these two works, they immediately sent a correction email requesting additional purchases.

The person in charge of the bookstore on the phone was still asking questions about the booklet.Hualichun glanced at the mailbox roughly, and heard the person in charge of the bookstore on the phone asking: "...Of course, we hope that the booklets of "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" can be released as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow. But everything It still depends on your company's arrangement. So, what is the fastest release time scheduled by Hoshino Club...?"

Hualichun took a deep breath.

Of course she understands the urgency of the people in charge of the bookstore, because at this moment her mood is exactly the same as that of the people in charge of every bookstore - to make the most of the award-winning effect.If one can take advantage of the announcement of the highest prize of the Classical Art and Literature Award and release the booklets of the award-winning works, the sales of the booklets will definitely explode.

Under the urging of the person in charge of Eden Bookstore, Hualichun finally spoke.

"Tomorrow," she said, "tomorrow the volumes will be delivered to bookstores."

"...Are you kidding me? Is it really possible tomorrow?"

After confirming that Hualichun was serious, the person in charge of the bookstore took a deep breath, and then became obviously excited.

"I understand. Now I will make a preview of the new book in the store and prepare to display it." He said hastily, "I hope that the separate volumes of "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" will be placed on our bookshelf tomorrow morning!"

As soon as he hung up the phone, the next call came in again - still asking about the release of the booklet of the work that won the highest prize of the Classical Art and Literature Award.

Hualichun had to answer one by one, and replied to the email with two purposes.After a phone call ends, a new call will come in immediately, and the sound of receiving emails will not stop at the same time.She kept telling the persons in charge of various bookstores that the booklets of "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" would be delivered tomorrow without even having time to breathe.

The jubilant dogs at the side had quieted down at some point.As the winner of the highest award in classical art and literature, Chuya Quan had forgotten his excitement at this time, and looked at the busy Hualijun with some concern.

Worried that the sound would affect the phone call, the impatient little dog's voice became much softer: "... woof woof."

Zhongyegou looked at Hualichun busy answering the phone while typing on the computer keyboard to reply to emails, looked down at his puppy paw, eager to help, and was so anxious to go around in place.

And at this moment, Dazai Inu suddenly raised its paw, blocking the puppy who was spinning around in place.

The sand-colored dog rarely quarreled with the little orange dog, but whispered: "Wow!"

Following Dazai Inu's gaze, not only Chuya Inu, but all the dogs saw the expression on Hualichun's face.

Even though beads of sweat were still hanging from her temples, the girl's eyes were astonishingly bright, and her tone was also full of strength.

Although she is very busy, what this kind of busyness brings her is not exhaustion and boredom, but joy and happiness.

The works written by the dog writers, through Hoshinosha, and through the hands of her Huali Jun, have become single volumes, and have been sent to readers who like these works.This incident brought her great happiness.

……

It took a long time, but Hualichun finally replied to all the emails, and the calls stopped coming in constantly.She stretched her waist, moved her stiff shoulders, and when she turned her head, she happened to meet two dog heads.

"Ugh!"

Hualichun was taken aback, and after seeing that it was Dazai Inu and Chuya Inu who had run to her side at some time and stretched their necks to stare at her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Two dogs stared at her eagerly.Dazai Inu's iris-colored eyes didn't blink for a moment, while Chuya Inu's puppy mouth was half opened, and it might bark at any time.

Just when Hualichun had this thought in his heart, Zhongyegou couldn't hold back: "Wow!"

"Two teachers."

Hualichun understands what dogs expect.She took a deep breath and explained: "Because I believe that "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" will definitely win awards, I have already finished the typesetting of the booklet! The book number has also been issued!"

Dazai Inu's "Setting Sun" includes "Setting Sun", "Cherry", "Skin and Heart", etc., while Chuya Inu's "Song of Sheep" includes "Song of Sheep", "Song of Winter", etc. All the long or short poems that Zhongya Inu has created so far, such as Changmen Gorge.

The paper selection, page typesetting and illustrations of the booklet can be done by handheld just like every issue of "Monthly Literature", which is why Huali Chun can make two booklets by himself.But the only thing she has left unfinished is the cover.

"Dazai-sensei, Chuya-sensei, I want you to make the final decision on the cover."

Hualichun gave up the position of the computer - the above shows that it is connected to the "Resurrection!"The cover creation interface of Wenhao Publishing House.

"The writer himself is often the person who knows the idea he wants to convey the most. Therefore, I think that the cover selected by the two teachers will definitely be the cover that best fits the article."

Hualichun said seriously, "Besides, the cover must be as eye-catching as possible. It must be to the extent that readers can see the book from the pile of books at a glance. To put it bluntly, it is considering While being artistic, choose eye-catching designs whenever possible.”

Even with the highest award of the Classical Art and Literature Award, "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" can sell well even if they are wrapped in a blank sheet of paper, but this does not mean that they can be lazy when making the separate volumes of these two books .

When making the typesetting of the booklet, Jun Huali asked Gongqian about the relevant content.As always, Gongqianjian gave her many useful suggestions.

"The production of a booklet seems simple, but it actually involves a lot of knowledge."

Gong Maejian said: "For example, in terms of cost, we must consider the profit margin. Using a design that is too expensive will reduce the profit margin, which will increase the difficulty of reprinting. Therefore, in terms of paper and cover materials, ink used, etc. In terms of cost, we need to pay attention to the cost and try our best to achieve the best effect in the limited budget.”

Speaking of this, he paused: "Although it sounds ruthless to say this, some writers also hope that their books can be more gorgeous and exquisite, and feel that the finished books after the cost is lowered are too simple. But this is also to be able to make good Send your works to as many people as possible.”

"After all, literature is not like rice. It is not a necessity for everyone's life. Even if it is a masterpiece, if it costs tens of thousands of yen for a single volume due to the high cost, I am afraid that not many people will be willing to publish it. money."

"If you can't make money, the book can't be reprinted, and the initial print run of the writer's next work will also be affected. In this way, good works will be buried."

After hearing these words, Hualichun felt a little emotional: "Compared to exquisite and expensive booklets-sure enough, writers should want more people to see the words they write."

Then she asked again: "But there are still people who want a more gorgeous version, right? If you want to make this kind of version..."

"Then the love Tibetan version will be released!" Gongqianjian said with a final word.

"It will definitely happen!" Hualichun clenched her fists.

"In addition, when choosing a cover, there are also some tips. It is best not to say that the cover is eye-catching, but it is also very important to pay attention to the cover design of other booklets issued in the current issue." He explained, "you can adjust it by referring to the covers of other books in the same period. With my own cover design, even if my book is placed in a pile of books, it will stand out from the crowd because of its special appearance."

"...So that's how it is!" Hualichun reacted abruptly, "If the covers of other booklets in the same period have more dark colors, use a light color design; if the colors of other booklets in the same period are all dark, choose a brighter color …In this way, even if all the books are put together, the first thing readers see is our separate volume!”

"That's right." Gongqianjian confirmed Hualichun's thoughts, "Besides..."

……

In the end, both Dazai Inu and Chuya Inu chose their respective book covers.

The cover of "Setting Sun" is an extremely bright and brilliant fire-like sunset, but in the distance of the golden-red clouds, there is a bit of piercing pressure of the dark night approaching.

The cover tone of "Song of Sheep" is pitch black, but in the darkness, two goat eyes with golden irises and flat pupils light up like fireflies, which makes people feel oppressed.

Use "Revival!After "Wenhao Publishing House" printed the sample of the two volumes of the booklet, Huali Chun solemnly took the book into his hand.

The fragrance of printing ink spreads lightly in the air.She couldn't help but secretly took a deep breath, and then solemnly opened the pamphlet in her hand as if she was holding a ceremony.

There was a rustling sound when the pages of the book were opened.The neatly printed ink characters came into Hualichun's eyes.

And on the corner of the cover, the Hoshinosha logo is printed.

——This is the first booklet published by Hoshinosha.

"Teacher!" Huali Jun handed the two booklets in his hand to Dazai Inu and Chuya Inu respectively, "The selected cover is really amazing! What I want is this kind of cover full of impact and courage!"

"Tomorrow, let these two booklets parachute into major bookstores with this kind of vigor!" She said each word in a word, each word seemed to carry a mighty force, "Because superstars always fall from the sky so suddenly, Shocking the world!"

The two non-human teachers stared at the book in front of them for a long time, then stretched out their furry paws, and carefully opened the cover.

The other dogs stood by, watching the scene quietly.

Soon, their works will also come to the world in this form, as if descending from the sky to the stars in the world with flames.

At this time, only the eyes of the Oda dog who stood the farthest dimmed slightly amidst emotion.

——He is still the same, and he has not been able to write anything yet.

……

On the outskirts of Tokyo, in the men's dormitory of the Tokyo High School of Magic.

"Tsk, still no one answered."

The male high school student with white hair and blue eyes casually threw the mobile phone aside, turned around and stretched his legs, lying on the bed.

"Hoshino Club's phone has been busy all the time, and the private phone is completely unavailable..." Gojo Satoru muttered to himself, "That guy, he must have been busy as soon as the highest prize was announced. I also want to congratulate her .”

However, "The Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" both won the highest award.Although he was aware of the excellence of these two works, before the awards were presented, Gojo Satoru still could not have imagined such a result.

"I originally thought that the highest award would be decided in "The Setting Sun" and "The Song of Sheep", but I didn't expect that it would be an even more unprecedented double award in the end."

"But this way..."

Gojo Satoru picked up the phone again and swipe it a few times—even if he didn't actively search, there was already a news push about the announcement of the results of the Classical Art and Literature Award on the phone.

"The Kyoto side should also know about it." He muttered to himself, "I just hope those old men don't find out..."

***

The results of the Classical Arts and Literature Awards sparked a lot of discussion on the Internet.And within half an hour after the awards were announced, related topics climbed to the top three on the Twitter trending list.

The topic of No.1 is "#Classic Art Literature Award", the topic of No.2 is "#羊之歌", and the topic of No.3 is "#太阳".

Hoshinosha's "Monthly Literature", which had published these two works, was also found out. "#MonthlyLiterature" is ranked seventh in the trend list.

That night, the sales of the ninth issue of "Monthly Literature", which Hoshinosha is currently selling, soared.So shortly after the upsurge of asking about the release of the separate volumes of "The Setting Sun" and "Song of the Sheep", another wave of phone calls and emails came from the bookstore, requesting to purchase more "Monthly Literature".The number of online sales in the background of Hoshinosha's official website is also constantly refreshed at the rate of adding a few new volumes per second.

——Just over half a month after its release, the ninth issue of "Monthly Literature" temporarily decided to reprint [-] volumes.

Time-limited magazine reprints are a fairly rare event, and even more rare are reissues that are more than half a month after publication.That wasn't the most shocking number of the night, however.

——The initial editions of "The Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" respectively reached 50 copies.

50—this is an extremely scary number.Even for the winners of the highest award of the Classical Art and Literature Award, the number of first editions of the award-winning works has reached this number, which is very few in the history of this award.But Hualichun has confidence in these two works.

The two booklets each had an initial edition of 50 copies, and a total of 100 million copies were printed—the cost of printing these booklets spent all the money Hualichun could use.

The separate editions of "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep" will be published together with the ninth issue of "Monthly Literature" through "Renaissance!"The distribution function of Wenhao Publishing House" will arrive at the warehouses of various bookstores at six o'clock tomorrow.

Even with the help of the handheld, Hualichun still worked all night to configure the magazines and booklets.After the work in her hands finally came to an end, it was already dawn.

The puppies were exhausted and fell asleep, and were carried back to the nest one by one by the careful Oda dogs.The sleepy feline tiger cubs slumped into a black and white tiger ball and fell asleep on the carpet.And the squinting-eyed puppy had already finished drinking the sweetened milk at ten o'clock unshakably, and fell asleep soundly.

Akutagawa Inu isn't around either.His health is not very good, he should have gone to rest a long time ago.The double winners of the Classical Art and Literature Awards are no exception.Dazai Inu lay on the sofa, quietly closed his eyes and fell asleep.And the Zhongye dog had already fallen asleep on its back, with its four paws upright, and it was snoring loudly from its small nose.

Hualichun put on her shoes lightly, pushed open the door of Hoshinosha, and walked out.

And not long after she left, a shadow followed her and walked out of Hoshinosha.

***

Setagaya District, the entrance of the small mountain house.

Standing on the steps of the door, Hualichun took a deep breath, raised her hand and rang the doorbell.

The crisp bell rang, and what followed for a long time was a stagnant silence.

Finally, the soft sound of a doorknob turning opened a crack in the silence.

The door of the villa finally opened, but it was dark inside.And the person who appeared at the door was Kaya Koyama.

In just a few days, Koyama Kaya looked much older than when we met last time, and the corners of his brows and eyes were filled with fatigue.His wrinkles seem to be getting deeper, and his eyes are also obviously black and blue.

"Here you are," he said.

"I came as promised." Hualichun replied with the same solemn expression.
