27 Official serialization
Wednesday, August 3, 1983, the weather was sunny in Gome Town, Sakawa District, Tokyo.
"Yeah, don't worry, what's the nerves about me? If you want to be nervous, it's the editor who is nervous."
"It's of course a big seller, but a big seller is also a big seller for magazines. It will take at least a while for my work to be reported...it will take three days to summarize it."
"Okay, it's amazing, it's amazing, it's a one-time book, get 15% of the royalties, and then animation it immediately, then go abroad and head to the international community to make dollars. It's absolutely true! It's time now, Hirose, you are not sleeping yet, do you want to die suddenly?"
Holding the phone and listening to Hirose Kanyin cheering herself up loudly on the phone, Fujii Kazura also answered the other party's questions with a smile.
Hearing his words, the phone paused for two seconds before Hirose Guanyin's slightly strange question came: "Tomorrow is the release date of the weekly comics dream, and it is also the day when your works are published. Are you really not nervous at all?"
"Even if I'm nervous... I've been nervous these two weeks... Hirose, if my work is well received, then I'll invite you and Chie Takayo Takayo, Yuri and Xiaoharu to go to a fine restaurant for a good meal, how about it?"
A chuckle came from the voice on the phone: "Then let's say that. At that time, I will be complacent with the breath of the great god. I wish my own works will be popular."
"Uh-huh!"
"It will definitely be successful, Fujii, you are really a genius. Many of the things you said last time gave us a lot of inspiration. I just feel that... our headache is not worth mentioning in your eyes."
Yes, please praise me more, praise me more!
I am a genius, I am a god!
"Actually... I'm not as good as you said, haha..."
After hanging up the phone, Fujii Kazura smiled and shook her head.
It's the night of August 3rd, and several friends I just met have called him one after another to cheer him up, but he really doesn't feel nervous when he said that.
I have done what I should do, and I have done my best to do it without regrets.
I have thought about what I should think about.
The plan depends on one's success, and the rest depends on luck, which is the feedback from readers tomorrow.
This feedback must be carried out through the questionnaire in the magazine, and then summarized to the editorial department within a few days, and the person who is responsible for unpacking and counting it.
The fastest thing is next week, and it’s not even too urgent to come.
He is no longer a student, and he has no way to ask about the people around him after reading it.
Today's computers are still lying in the rich and large institutions as luxury goods, let alone Internet forums or other things.
Sakura can use it as a channel and ask again when she comes back tomorrow.
Although it is not very useful to just a school comic club, and it cannot be used as the final reference data, it should be no problem to comfort yourself.
Chie Takayo, Yuri Takayo, Koharu Sato and Kanyin Hirose are all old Asasi, and their words are not convincing.
I looked at my father's room where the fire was still not turned off. It's already late now. According to his previous schedule, he should turn off the lights and rest.
Now he is nervous...
Even Sakura's room didn't seem to have lights turned off...
Um?
No, Fang Yuan quickly walked to Ying's room, then knocked on the door a few times and shouted: "You damn girl, why are you joining in the fun? Don't forget that you will have class tomorrow. Do you want to be late? And don't think about buying comics and magazines early in the morning to take them to school to read, teach me hard and study hard! Did you hear it?"
In the room, Ying was startled by the sudden knock on the door, and then she heard her brother's roar and was suddenly a little furious.
I'm still worried about you. I'm so angry and arrogant. Let's die!
"I got it, don't knock on my door, or I'll tell my dad!"
After threatening the parents, Ying turned off the lights and then lay on the bed and looked out the window.
Tokyo is now a famous city that never sleeps. The lights shining everywhere at night are like little suns. If you don’t pull the curtains, you can see everything in the room clearly.
Ying looked at the view outside the window for a long time, but she didn't know how long it took before she fell asleep in a daze.

Thursday, August 4, 1983, morning.
Ichiro Fujii got up before dawn today and went to his own bookstore.
After opening the bookstore, cleaning the ground, and checking the books and some stationery, he looked at the 200 square meter old bookstore that his father had worked hard for the rest of his life.
After feeling that it was fine, I stood at the door of the bookstore and waited.
It was still early at this time and there were no pedestrians on the street.
However, some shops and workers who need to get up early have already started their busy day, with newspapers, milk, and bakery shops all opening.
These are all acquaintances on the street, and everyone greeted each other.
"Mr. Fujii, why did you open the door so early today? It was only five o'clock, and the students and office workers have not yet gotten up."
Faced with questions from neighbors and some old acquaintances, Ichiro Fujii just smiled and replied: "There is a promotion today. I came early to prepare for it."
After hearing his words, the people around him showed a sudden enlightenment.
In addition to some famous works and tutoring books in bookstores, there are many magazines. These varied magazines are usually placed in 2 or 3 issues. Once this period exceeds this period, it is likely to be priced and promoted.
After all, the labor costs and various types of fees are also relatively expensive, so it is better to reduce the price.
However, generally such magazines will be marked as "not easy to sell" by bookstore owners, and of course they will be less when they are purchased in the future.
Ichiro Fujii secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw people around him stop asking what the best-selling event was. In the past, the comics and magazines in the bookstore were sorted by grade.
Of course, the four major comics weekly magazines are the most prominent, and the number of purchases is also based on the ranking of the four major comics weekly magazines, which means the most jumps and the least dreams.
But this time he proposed that the number of Dream magazines was sold three times...
Then the promotion is also aimed at dreams. It can be said that after deducting various expenses, selling a "Weekly Comic Dream" would be equivalent to not losing or making money, and it would be useless to work.
When it was just dawn, a Honda truck delivered the latest newspapers and magazines published today. After Ichiro Fujii signed the receipt after the acceptance was no problem.
