Chapter 353 Who allowed it?

Oh no, oh no, this might have backfired!

The early stage of Kadokawa's promotion is likely to become a stepping stone for the opponent to ascend to the throne.

Even though the plan was approved by President Inoue, he was the one who executed the overall implementation framework. How could the president be wrong? Therefore, if there was a problem, Tsuge would definitely take the blame.

Why does this happen?

Do you know how to play cards? How can you start with four twos and a pair of kings?

Why do you have to play two bomb cards at once, just to show that you have more bombs? You don't know how to play.

Zhecheng picked up the phone again and again. It was already dark, and through the tiny gap in the curtains he could see the pitch-black sky outside. He couldn't help but think of the president's dark pupils, staring at people, so creepy.

Don't dare to fight!
Unfortunately, the phone in his hand is not Doraemon's if phone booth, and does not have the wish-making function. Whether he calls or not, it will not change the scene of "The Devotion of Suspect X" sweeping across Japan.

On Earth, "The Devotion of Suspect X" created a sales miracle, and the parallel world was no less impressive, even skipping the normal process of small hit, becoming a big hit, and finally becoming a huge success.

Really, you don't follow the scientific rules of book sales at all. Other popular books are soaring like a rocket, but you are cultivating immortals and ascending to heaven, right?!

First day sales: 19
That's fine, since your return is so hyped, and the publicity and promotion resources are real and costly.

People's curiosity can kill their wallets.

But why were 34 sold the next day? Who allowed it?
Among the one million gods of neon, which one agreed?

What does this data mean?
The Japanese version of The Little Prince sold 110,000 copies on the first day and was called a fairy tale miracle.

Flowers for Algernon sold 130,000 copies on the first day and 430,000 copies on the first day, which was a sales bomb.

The above was created by Gu Lu himself a few years ago in the physical Black Iron Age.

In 2010, "KAGEROU" sold 43 copies on the first day, making it the work with the highest first-day sales in Japan. The author is Hiroshi Mizushima, and he is an artist.

As an actor in "GTO 2", "Kamen Rider KABUTO", "Hana Yori Dango" and "Absolute Boyfriend", his sales are purely driven by fans and do not count at all!

The real first-day champion of novels, "Tanpopo" by Yasunari Kawabata in 1973, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and was compiled as a posthumous work.

Daily sales reached 37 pieces.

A table was laid out and emphasized in the editorial office of Kadokawa Shoten.

"But 370,000 is not a lot more than 340,000. Excluding that artist's novel, the daily sales record is still held by our Japanese writers. And in the 1970s, national data statistics were entirely based on self-reporting by bookstores. 370,000 is very likely to be less." Editor-in-Chief Takeda expressed his opinion and disdained the table that Tsuge took out.

He continued, "Why do you see Gu Lu now, just like humans see an apostle? He is not that threatening at all."

"Do you think you are very smart?" Zhecheng asked back.

Takeda's eyes told everyone that he was the one who held the truth.

"The 1970s and 1980s were the silver age of Japan's physical industry. The initial sales of the nursery rhyme "Let's Swim! Taiyayaki" by Zimen Zhenren reached 1 million copies. Physical books and comics were more terrifying than they are now," said Zhecheng.

The golden age of physical sales in Japan was from the 1980s to the millennium.

Zhecheng asked, "Do you know what book is the daily sales record of books in the 21st century?" The book list published by Japan's Oricon is not as detailed as that in the record field. This is normal. Oricon is famous for publishing record lists, and sales lists of books, comics, etc. are incidental. As a result, the data that can be queried on the Internet is only the total sales list of books, and there are no lists such as daily sales, first-day sales, and first-week sales.

Therefore, to know this news, one must be familiar with all the major publishing groups. Editor-in-Chief Takeda is obviously not such a person, and his eyes are filled with confusion.

"Our Kadokawa Bookstore's "Shoot a Bullet at the Sun" has a peak daily sales of 28 copies." Tsuge really didn't want to talk to this man who relied on his close relationship with the president to get to the top. He was not professional at all. He asked in a serious tone, "Do you understand what I mean now?"

I understand. Editor Takeda understands the seriousness of the matter. The previous records in the 21st century did not reach the level of 300,000. And the sales volume was cheated in some way.

Now is the era of the total decline of physical entities. To give the most intuitive example from Japan, before 2015, a book was considered a bestseller if it sold copies a year, but now it is considered a bestseller if it sells copies a year.

By the way, in China, 150,000 copies were considered bestsellers 2015 (Mao Sanning revealed this), and now 50,000 copies are considered bestsellers. In the future, I estimate that 20,000 to 30,000 copies will be bestsellers…

How can Gu Lu win when he doesn't have the right time, place and people?

Sun Tzu's Art of War is a lie!
Everyone in the editorial department had this thought in their hearts.

Zhecheng's idea is that if Kadokawa Bookstore hadn't helped, sales would have dropped by at least one-third to one-quarter. This is easy to understand, because not many people know about it.

"This sales volume should be temporary, right? It will definitely fall in the later period," said Editor-in-Chief Takeda.

Instead of answering this self-deceiving thought, Zhecheng simply said, "It is estimated that this novel will become a taboo word in our Kadokawa Bookstore for some time to come. Do not discuss it online or in real life, otherwise..."

"Of course, we are from Kadokawa and we will definitely not read this book," "I don't like mystery novels," "I won't read The Little Prince, Flowers for Algernon, Hyouka, or Mr. Holmes, and this one is no exception," and so on, colleagues in the editorial department said one after another.

But after Zhecheng turned around, people quietly logged into their accounts.

It seems that Takeda had published his review of "The Devotion of Suspect X" on the forum yesterday. The reason why he bought it as soon as possible was mainly because he wanted to see what kind of work Gu Lu could write after his return.

"I don't think Ishigami is secretly in love with Yasuko. There is an original text in the book, probably in the 19th chapter, 'How can there be a mother and daughter with such beautiful eyes?' 'He is happy to regain his life, and just imagining the life of the mother and daughter is happy.' 'For lofty things, being able to touch them is happiness enough, and the same is true for mathematics.' What gives Ishigami the courage to live is the positive and sunny way that Yasuko and Misato face life, so Ishigami is protecting the happy life of the mother and daughter.

At the same time, Ishigami's failure was doomed from the beginning. Because Ishigami did not dare to approach the "noble", he did not understand the character of Misato and Yasuko at all, and did not estimate the kindness in their human nature. I think that even if there was no Akechi (who really embarrassed his grandfather Akechi Kogoro) to break Yasuko's defense, Misato's suicide also proved that she could not live like this.

The current new orthodox reasoning is all about puzzles in the sky and solutions on the ground. The backgrounds are getting more and more exaggerated and gorgeous. I still enjoy watching the simple and pure arrangement of Ellery Queen's works. After watching it, I just feel that my IQ has been crushed.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" has achieved it. This is a work written by Gu Lu specifically to conquer the book market in our country. It is as irresistible as an earthquake!
The ultimate scam, the fatal loophole, the unsolvable Gu Lu."

Delete it immediately - but having written such a long string of comments, I feel reluctant to delete it, Editor-in-Chief Takeda hesitated.

Takeda had the same idea as his long-haired colleague, who also expressed his thoughts on the book.

"Is it shocking that another person was killed to hide the time of death? No! What is shocking is Ishigami's initial layout. The police were investigating No. 16's alibi, couldn't they just hand it out directly? But Ishigami asked Jingzi to take it out slowly, which was a layout to make the police fall into the abyss. The deeper they go, the darker it becomes. This is what makes people admire.

Many people scolded Akechi Yukawa Manabu, and even called him Little Akechi, to express that he was not qualified to inherit the surname, because he always said that he felt sorry for Ishigami's mathematical talent, but did nothing, and in the end, he destroyed Ishigami's last wish out of his competitive spirit, saying that he was not Ishigami's friend at all.

But what is the reality? The ceiling walker Akechi Kogoro seems to be training the murderer. In the D-Sakagawa murder case, Akechi Kogoro clearly saw who the murderer was, but he didn't want to say it at all, so Akechi Kogoro himself is a chaotic neutral detective. This is also his charm. And his descendants, isn't it normal for them to behave like this? "

My long-haired colleague feels that work is work and life is life, so there is no need to...

Before he could finish his words, President Inoue, looking murderous, arrived.
