The newcomer author's banquet hosted by Fantastic Bunko, a subsidiary of Immortal River Bookstore, has officially begun.
After Gu Wu joined Kasumigaoka, who had returned from going to the bathroom, he entered the hall along the corridor.
The overcrowded banquet hall was a bit noisy, but when the person in charge appeared on the podium, everyone also quieted down.
Under the bright lights, the guests were talking in whispers, and at the moment when the organizer in front of him began to speak, Gu Wu also looked at the banquet guests who were communicating with each other around him.
Judging from the information provided by Machida Yuanzi, whom Gu Wu met before, it is better to find those uncles who have beer bellies as chat partners.
"Judging from this posture, most of the new authors under Fantastic Library's umbrella have come here, right?"
"Did Ms.
Kasumi Shizi also investigate that information?
I used to think you were the kind of person who only focused on the things that mattered. ” "It's also a basic practice for practitioners to investigate their peers, after all, the popularity of their work can provide a reference for themselves."
Having said that, Xia Zhiqiu still approached Gu Wu and emphasized in a low voice.
"But that doesn't mean I'm going to make all the compromises that don't fit the work for the sake of sales."
In this materialistic era, it is rare to have a reserved creator, after all, according to hobbies, whether it is for hobbies, the premise of all this is to let yourself have enough income to persevere.
Readers can undoubtedly enjoy things that are the easiest way to increase sales, but there are certain periods of time when you occasionally encounter readers with strange aesthetics, which can be a bit difficult to deal with......
In general, Kasumigaoka has a certain popularity as an author, so she has the right to write what she wants.
As for other unknown authors, or who have just won the Newcomer Award, they have to find ways to fit the reader's preferences.
"Of course, I'll tell you, I don't hate authors who change their style to increase sales and cater to readers, that's a new endeavor."
"From this point of view, Teacher Xia Shizi is quite gentle."
"I've always had such a big heart."
"Yes, yes, yes."
At this time, one of the most popular male authors among the new writers stepped onto the podium, young about twenty-five years old, not tall, slightly handsome, wearing black-framed glasses, looking very literary.
"Only the guy with the highest sales can speak?
It's just a dessert that satisfies the reader's taste. ” "Doesn't what you just said count?!"
"No, I admire that guy, in another way, it's not hateful, doesn't it mean that you don't like it?"
Not hating equals disliking?
Does it mean that not hating does not mean liking, and not liking does not mean that disliking is the same as disliking?
is really worthy of the author, you can think of such a logical relationship.
Gu Wu expressed his admiration for Xia Zhiqiu and locked on a few characters who were ready to talk to in the past.
A few minutes later, the speeches before the opening of the banquet ended, and everyone entered the time to taste the food and talk to each other.
"Does Kasumiko-sensei want to communicate with those people with me?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired......
There's some fruit over there, I'm going to eat some. ” "No problem, call me if you have any trouble."
"I'm not going to get into trouble."
Gu Wu nodded helplessly, then turned around and walked towards the crowd.
The two uncles with strong stomachs held red wine in their hands, and Gu Wu then took a glass of juice and joined their conversation.
"Hello two."
Gu Wu was as steady as possible, and the first impression was the first step in determining the relationship of trust between people.
The two middle-aged men also nodded when they saw Gu Wu.
"Good evening."
"Good evening, you young man is the new editor-in-charge?"
Gu Wu, who was exposed by one of them, was a little puzzled, and he didn't know why he was seen by the other party at a glance.
"Why doesn't sir think I'm an author?"
"Oh, after more people have seen it, it will feel a little bit; If it's you, the look in your eyes is different. ” "Oh?
Eyes?
” "On the surface, he is calm, but in his heart he regards the other party as an opponent who should be suppressed, by the way, just like a wolf seeing a rabbit."
The middle-aged man who narrowed his eyes slightly explained, Gu Wu nodded thoughtfully, no matter where he was, there was competition in almost all professions.

This is like playing a snowball, authors who surpass their competitors in the same period can get more publicity resources and increase sales, so that if their popularity increases, they will have the opportunity to go to the road of gods.
"Your Excellency is right, I am Gu Wu, the newcomer in charge of the Immortal River Bookstore, and I am now familiar with the business."
"Sure enough, young people should work hard!
Especially now that the industry is becoming a bit sluggish!
You know, the last time I went to the Ginza Gold Award Promotion Party, I didn't see a few interested readers. ” Here comes the topic!
Gu Wu, who thought that now was a good time to cut in, nodded again and again, pretending to be a believer listening to the teachings of the gods.
"Of course, you have to work hard, and the author I'm in charge of has been booming in popularity recently."
"A rookie author who is gradually gaining popularity?
Let's hear it. ” The two old drivers of the library looked at Gu Wu together, and their looks were not excited, but they were also a little interested.
Shueisha has increased a lot of sales because of the pillar of "One Piece", and of course, a library needs to constantly discover new works to enhance the influence of the library.
Being able to unearth popular works is a good thing for the upper echelons of the library.
"Her work is ...... recently" Just as he wanted to explain, Gu Wubian heard the sound of glass breaking.
The scattered glass shards attracted onlookers, and Gu Wu was also one of the onlookers, but when he saw one of the parties, he immediately said goodbye to the two editors who had just talked and ran over there.
"Teacher Kasumiko?"
Gu Wu was about to take Xia Zhiqiu for the time being, and the man who was on the side and his face was red because of anger reminded Gu Wu.
"It's better for her to understand where she stands, Mr.
Editor-in-Charge."
Did something happen?
Gu Wu, who was not clear, looked at the Xiazhiqiu beside her, and she also had a reluctant expression on her face, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
It seems that she had some kind of conflict with the man who was talking, and it ended up like this.
Let's leave first, Gu Wu came to this conclusion, after all, it is not good to continue to stay here and cause trouble for others, and there is no point in continuing to argue.
There is no way, most of the plans to fight for the golden publishing place of the publishing house this time have to be put aside for the time being.
