Chapter 407: The Terrifying Influence of Top Writers

"I'm really sorry. There will never be a next time!" Kazushi Kawai apologized loudly and in a cold sweat. The editor next to him became even more sympathetic when he saw this scene.

Of course, no one would say anything at this time, or in other words, no one would touch Sudosaki's bad luck, and the Neon workplace is indeed a place that pays attention to rules. Kazushi Kawai, who was just scolded, joined the editorial department three Months ago, he was still a newcomer.

But there is no emphasis on specialization here, and you cannot be treated specially just because you are a newcomer. Rather, all the editors here have come from the period of newcomers. As for what you have to go through during the period of newcomers? Of course, I spent it amidst the scoldings of my seniors in the workplace! Only in this way can you gradually become familiar with the rules of the workplace and adapt to this environment.

Because no matter where the workplace is, the law of the jungle is about survival of the fittest.

If you cannot adapt to this environment, you will be eliminated.

"Okay, that's it this time. I don't want there to be a next time. I can tell you what happened that made you so fussy just now. Tell me what happened and what big thing made you so panicked."

Sudosaki's frown slowly relaxed. The reason why he taught the other party so seriously just now was also deliberate. Of course, it was also for the other party. If the other party could not discover this, he would be eliminated sooner or later. matter.

After Sudozaki's lesson just now, Kazushi Kawai calmed down completely. He stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and responded quickly: "Well... Mr. God Master will publish a new book next month!"

After saying these words, Kawai Kazushi realized that something was wrong. However, by the time he realized it, it was already a little too late. Sudozaki said coldly with a straight face: "Isn't it a good thing that Mr. God Master is going to publish a new book? Why don't you say it right?" Is it because publishing a new book so quickly gave everyone a bigger surprise? How could it be a bad thing?

We must know that our duty as editors is to push manuscripts like writers. Do you agree, Kawai, that writers can delay manuscripts at will? "

Hearing Sudozaki's continuous questioning, Kawai Kazushi panicked again: "No...I didn't mean that..."

"Kawai-san, calm down and speak slowly."

Seeing Kazushi Kawai's panic, an editor who was usually friends with him finally couldn't help but remind him.

Hearing this, Kazushi Kawai's expression softened a lot. He looked at the editor who had just spoken with some gratitude, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "That's it, Teacher Shenzhu posted on Twitter, Weibo and other platforms Published a message saying that it has signed a contract with Immortal Library and will officially release a new book next month!"

As soon as these words came out, the environment at the scene suddenly became quiet. Although it was very quiet just now, the difference now is that the air seemed to solidify in an instant. Basically everyone did not expect it. This situation.

Everyone knows that the editor-in-chief has made a firm decision this time, and it can be considered that he has spent a lot of money to extend an olive branch to the teacher.

Using 11% of the share price to give it to the God Lord is not a small price. It is already considered the price of a top-level writer. Giving this kind of price to a newcomer is simply unprecedented!

You must know that even Akiyama Shinobu-sensei was not so high back then. At that time, Akiyama-nin-sensei’s share price for his works was 9%. When it was announced, everyone was surprised, and it was even reported in the report, with the title [New Century's sky-high royalties] have made many new and old authors in the industry very envious. However, now something even more heartbreaking has happened.

Although Master Shendu is very famous now, his debut work has also caused a wave of craze. Although many people suspect that Master Shen is a work written by an old author wearing a vest, but after the real age of Master Shen was exposed by the community, , this kind of public opinion came to an abrupt end, but in the final analysis, the god master is still a new author.

However, the editor-in-chief of the company gave the new author an 11% share price, and the other party accepted this price, allowing Dengeki Bunko to publish at a speed of five centimeters per second.

Although there was no clear indication, everyone seemed to think that the other party had accepted Dengeki Bunko's olive branch.

What they never expected was that the result was completely different from what they imagined. Dengeki Bunko was let go! !

This feeling is like a cooked duck suddenly flying away. How can people not feel painful and uncomfortable?

After a while, Sudosaki, who was expected to be the most angry and furious, was the first to laugh bitterly: "It seems that Master Shendu's ambition is a bit big. You really can't underestimate today's young people. I'm really overachieving." Life is coming back..."

"Editor, aren't you angry?"

An editor had the courage to raise his hand and raised a question. Sudosaki glanced at the other person impartially, shook his head lightly, and asked: "What's the use of being angry? Which publishing house do you think would dare to ban an editor now?" Ding writer?

Fujimi Fantasia Bunko can't do it, Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko can't do it. Although we Dengeki Bunko have a slight advantage, we also don't have the ability to ban a writer who is a heavyweight.

Or do you think I should use media reports now to publicize God’s treachery and then tear up the publishing contract? If you really think so, then you can pack your bags and get ready to go home. "

After Sudosaki's words, the editor who had just raised the question blushed and became speechless. He did not dare to raise any more questions. Several old editors were not surprised at all.

They knew that although their editor-in-chief had now accepted this fact, it would be strange if he didn't feel dissatisfied at all. In the situation just now, silence was the best choice.

And as Sudosaki said, currently no library in the industry dares to ban a top-level writer. Once a banning order is issued, the two parties will have a life-or-death relationship, and this banning order is of no use at all, because the banning order is The top writers have reached another level and can be said to have profound influence.

To use a somewhat exaggerated analogy, in Neon, which publishing house have you seen dare to ban Natsume Soseki?

The publishing house that dares to do this is probably crazy. You should know that Natsume Soseki's face is still printed on neon banknotes.

Of course, no modern neon writer dares to claim to be comparable to Natsume Soseki. Even a top-level writer does not have this qualification, because he is a famous literary giant.

But even so, writers at the top level are not just vegetarians. Writers who can reach the level of top level already have phenomenal influence!
