Revive it!Wenhao Press

After returning to Hoshinosha, Hualichun's brain was still immersed in excitement, and she didn't even notice the puppies crawling out one after another to meet her.

"It's amazing." She said to herself, "Everyone is reading Hoshinosha's book. Next, I must work harder..."

The puppies circled Hualichun twice, and finally couldn't help it, barking.

"what."

Hualichun clicked like an overloaded robot and lowered his head, seeing the shining eyes of the puppies.

With a "snap", the robot turned back into a little girl with flesh and blood.

Half a minute later, Hualichun lay on the sofa, with playful puppies all over her body, her expression almost melted: "Ah, is this heaven..."

The puppy's little paws crawled all over her body, and when they stepped on her, it was like a massage.Hualichun has been greedy for Zhongye Dog's paws for a long time, but Zhongye Dog has a bad temper, but she will never step on her character intentionally, so her wish can't be fulfilled until the puppies arrive.

Thinking of this, Hualichun picked up a puppy and took a deep breath.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The puppy was trying to break free from waving its little paws, and gradually became dull-eyed, hanging motionless in hualichun's hands, like a fake dog.

After inhaling the energy of the puppy, Hualichun put down the sluggish puppy, took out the mobile phone with the hand hanging on the side of the sofa, opened the news website, and found the video of today's morning news.

In order to rush to school, she failed to read all the content about Hoshinosha in the news.So after she came back, she planned to watch it again from beginning to end on the video website, then download it and keep it forever.

After all, this is Hoshinosha's first TV show!

Holding the puppies in her arms, Hualichun stared at the phone screen.Half of her cheek was pushed back and forth by a playful puppy, and the expression on her face changed into various funny looks.

But halfway through, she suddenly paid attention to one of the host's words, and pulled the video back a little.

"...the magazine "Monthly Literature", which once published "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep", seems to have very little print volume for the first, second, and subsequent issues," the host said, "There are many people who want to buy Readers of these magazines regret this..."

Indeed, especially the first few issues of "Monthly Literature" were not printed much. Considering the sales volume and budget at that time, it was an appropriate figure, and the in-stock consumption of each issue also reached a miracle Generally 100%.But considering that the demand of readers has increased greatly due to the double award of classical art and literature awards, the printing volume at that time seemed too small.

Moreover, except for the works of Dazai Inu and Chuya Inu, the works of other teachers have not yet been published in booklets.Readers who missed the previous issue will have difficulty seeing articles published in it.

However, magazines are time-sensitive publications, expired magazines will not be republished, and popular works will reappear as separate books.But it is unrealistic to make all the works of various teachers into single volumes and sell them in one go.

Thinking of this, Hualichun began to search the Internet for news about purchasing previous issues of "Monthly Literature".However, the more she turned down, the tighter her brows frowned.

As the host said, many readers want to buy previous issues of "Monthly Literature" after reading the available books.Therefore, there are many news about selling previous issues of "Monthly Literature" on the Internet.

However, in the news of the sale, the seller often set a high price for the previous issues of "Monthly Literature". A volume of "Monthly Literature" for 899 yen can be fired for two to three thousand yen.The most terrifying thing is that the first issue of "Monthly Literature" was printed with only 1000 copies, and the highest selling price even exceeded [-] yen.

Hualichun sat up suddenly, and the puppies playing on her immediately rolled down.

"Why is this..." She muttered to herself, "No matter where the book is sold, the price should be the same, not a commodity that is up for grabs... Teachers also want their articles to be seen by more people , and don't want to be used like this..."

Hualichun frowned and thought about it, but at this moment the puppies leaned over and looked at the mobile phone in Hualichun's hand curiously, wagging their little tails.

"What? Are you interested in mobile phones?" Hualichun noticed the eyes of the puppies and put the mobile phone in front of them.

The puppy's fluffy head was put together, looking at the screen curiously.After a while, one of the puppies stretched out its paw, pressed the screen of the phone with a small meat pad, and flicked the video left and right.

"It feels like Gougou all use electronic products." Hualichun recalled the appearance of the Gougou teachers waving their fluffy paws and tapping on the keyboard, and Dazai Gou even whined and sang the song of dying love with headphones on. Look, "As expected of..."

Wait a moment.

Hualichun gradually had an idea in his heart.

"That's right," she muttered to herself, and walked quickly to the small library, "There is another way!"

All the way to the bookshelf where "Monthly Literature" was placed, Hualichun's gaze quickly scanned the several volumes of "Monthly Literature" published by her own hand, and stayed for a long time on the other rows full of old "Monthly Literature". Literature above.

Hoshinosha can build another online e-magazine archive!

If an online electronic magazine archive is established, the lifeline of the works that were once published in the monthly magazine and then failed to enter the single volume will not only last for one month like life and death, but will continue during the existence of the electronic archive. continue.

In this way, not only can readers read the works of previous issues of "Monthly Literature", but also various articles published in the era of parents more than ten years ago can return again, and meet the current readers!

Thinking of this, in Hualichun's mind, the moved tears and murmurs of mourning Yu Xingming emerged again.And this scene is intertwined with the image of Kaya Koyama who narrates the scene of the year.

The girl couldn't help clenching her fists.

The old "Monthly Literature" was equally excellent. Even if there were works that were not valued at the time, there was a chance to be rediscovered when the times changed.

If such an opportunity arises, wouldn’t it be true that those “Yamada Fumiya” who were frustrated at the beginning would feel that it was great to have written such an article?The hard work at the beginning was worth it.

Perhaps this is what she wants to bring to the beautiful but cruel literary world, something even more beautiful.

Give the work a longer lifeline!

……

Tokyo, the 23rd floor of the Hakusensha Building, the editorial department of "Literary Times".

After the elevator door opened, the figure of editor Naganoguchi Satoshi appeared in it.In his hand, he was holding a heavy cardboard box.

Noguchi Satoshi walked quickly into the small conference room next to the office with the box in his arms, and locked himself in it alone.Seeing this, the other editors looked at each other, but no one knew what the editor-in-chief was doing.

Only Chieko Aoyama seemed to have guessed something, and looked at the small meeting room with a little more complicated gaze.

In the small meeting room at this moment, Noguchi Tomoko took out the letter opener from his pocket, cut the seal on the box, and opened it.

What appeared in the box were several previous issues of "Monthly Literature".

Noguchi Satoshi noticed Hoshinosha after the award-winning works of the Classical Art and Literature Award were announced.He wanted to immediately find every issue of the new edition of "Monthly Literature" so far to study, but the circulation of the first few issues of "Monthly Literature" was too small, so he couldn't collect them quickly.

Fortunately, "Monthly Literature" has gained a high degree of topicality with the awards of "Setting Sun" and "Song of Sheep", and soon some people who own previous issues of "Monthly Literature" began to sell their own online. used magazines.Noguchi Satoshi bought several second-hand magazines sold at high prices without hesitation, and only then did he collect all the previous magazines of "Monthly Literature".

After taking out "Monthly Literature" from the box, Satoshi Noguchi sat at the table and arranged all the magazines on the table in order.Then, he turned to the first page of the first magazine and started from scratch.

In the quiet conference room, there were only the sounds of pages being turned.Pages of printed magazine pages were reflected on Noguchi's glasses, reflecting his serious face and lips drawn into a straight line.

I don't know how long it took, and finally, the door of the conference room opened.

The one who walked in was the deputy editor-in-chief of "The Age of Literature and Art".He glanced at the "Monthly Literature" in front of Noguchi Satoshi, and asked, "How is it?"

Until then, Noguchi Satoshi suddenly came back to his senses as if his thoughts had been interrupted.

"Ah, this ah..."

Tomo Noguchi slowly took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and was silent for a moment.

After a while, he raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with his index finger.

"The first few issues of "Monthly Literature" were magazines with obvious advantages and disadvantages." Noguchi Satoshi said carefully, "It goes without saying that the articles are excellent, as evidenced by the Classical Art and Literature Award. However, the way the magazine is produced is a little green It’s astringent, both the typesetting and the order of publication are the same.”

"How can there be any reason why as long as you are a newcomer writer, your debut work must be published first and first?"

"...that's what I thought," he said.

"However, the writers dug out by the current Hoshinosha are all monsters. If this is the case, then it has to be another matter."

"Moreover, in chronological order, if you look from the front all the way to the back, you can see that the level of magazine production has gradually changed from immature to mature, and the design of the magazine has become more and more sophisticated."

"Especially the issue that featured Human Chairs."

Noguchi said: "Because I collected comments on "Monthly Literature" on social networks before I got the magazine, so I know that this issue of the magazine has also made a special notice on the official website."

"How to put it... If you look at the trailer together with the design of this issue of the magazine, even I feel creepy..."

While speaking, Tomo Noguchi opened the folding page of "The Chair in the World".Seeing the distorted man in the folder illustration, the deputy editor-in-chief subconsciously took a step back.

"Since the issue of "Human Chair" was published, "Monthly Literature" has always had a strong sense of page-turning in the layout design, allowing readers to feel surprised or frightened when they turn to the next page. Especially It is aimed at suspenseful detective reasoning. Hoshinosha cooperated with the content when typesetting, almost reaching the point that readers can't wait to turn to the next page after reading a page, and feel satisfied or shocked immediately at the beginning of the next page. The effect is the same. The catch post published in the tenth issue just released is the same..."

Noguchi Satoshi sighed, "This is beyond the field, it's a manga skill."

"In your opinion, the current "Monthly Literature"..." the deputy editor-in-chief calmed down and asked, "How does it compare with the previous "Monthly Literature"?"

Noguchi Satoshi turned his head and looked at the magazine in front of him.

"I have investigated the situation when "Monthly Literature" first landed in bookstores." Noguchi said, "At that time, "Monthly Literature" was in its fifth issue, and the only bookstore that signed a contract was a small bookstore in Tokyo, 'Sanxianya'."

"Isn't that just the month when Mr. Xiaoshan here published "Obscure Moonlight Night"?" The deputy editor-in-chief immediately realized the special time period, "What's the result?"

"In that month, our magazine sold 2200 copies at Sanxianya." Tomo Noguchi paused and reported the figure, "The sales volume of "Monthly Literature" at Sanxianya was 2193."

"Only 7 books less than us?" The deputy editor-in-chief said in amazement, "We still have the advantage of Mr. Xiaoshan's works? Isn't this the same as us losing?"

Under the gaze of the deputy editor-in-chief, Noguchi Satoshi nodded solemnly.

He recalled what happened at the reception after the awards ceremony.

This time, in addition to the reviewers, members of the Writers Association, and actors and stars, the people who participated in the reception even included local councilors.

They all wanted to know the identities of Osamu Dazai and Chuya Nakahara, as if everyone else had become a foil for those two people.But the Hoshino Club representative left quietly after the ceremony.

"A well-written writer alone may not be successful. But if a well-written writer meets an editor who appreciates him, advises him with all his heart, and a salesperson who does his best to help him launch his work, that is Like a tiger with wings..."

"The current "Monthly Literature" continues to improve at this speed, and I am afraid that it will soon be more terrifying than the "Monthly Literature" ten years ago." He said slowly.

"Do you want to do it again? Those methods back then?" asked the deputy editor-in-chief.

"……what."

Noguchi Satoshi pondered for a moment, then suddenly put down the "Monthly Literature" in his hand.

"After the award ceremony of the Classical Art and Literature Award, I originally thought that Yoshikawa from "Popular Anecdote" would make a move. I did see Yoshikawa among the media reporters present that day, but after the award ceremony, "Popular Anecdote" published The content of the media is similar to that of other media. After that, there was no movement from Yoshikawa."

He said, "If Yoshikawa gets the material, he will either make a big news, or ask someone to buy it from him, right?"

The deputy editor-in-chief knew exactly what Noguchi meant.Because "Literary Times" has also dealt with Katsushi Yoshikawa several times, and knows the cunning of this person: "Even Yoshikawa, couldn't dig out the personal information of those writers from Hoshinosha?"

"I'm afraid that's the case. But even so, he must have had contact with people from Hoshinosha."

Speaking of this, Noguchi Satoshi stood up: "Let's meet with Yoshikawa first, and learn about the situation from there."
