Chapter 141 - 83 First Print

"Mr. Hasegawa, the time for the second volume to be put on the shelves for sale has been determined, and because the first volume of "Tokyo Ghoul" was very popular, the first print of the second volume has been determined to be 50,000 copies." Machida Sonoko's voice was full of excitement.

"Fifty thousand copies? So many?" Hasegawa looked very surprised. After all, the first print of the first volume was only 10,000 copies. Although it was later reprinted due to its excellent performance, it finally printed 50,000 copies.

"After all, the first volume of "Tokyo Ghoul" has sold 50,000 copies in just one month, and with the popularity of the first volume, the sales of the second volume will probably be even higher, so the publisher decided to print 50,000 copies for the first time. Mr. Hasegawa, I really want to congratulate you. The first print of 50,000 copies is a treatment that only those best-selling books can get. No, "Tokyo Ghoul" is already a best-selling light novel." Machida Sonoko's voice was full of joy.

"A best-selling light novel? I see. Thank you, editor Machida, you must have contributed a lot."

"Well, although I did fight for a lot of resources, it's also because Mr. Hasegawa has a very high level of writing. The content is great, otherwise, no matter how hard I try, I won't get such a good result." Machida Sonoko said with a smile.

After ending the call with Machida Sonoko, Hasegawa also had a faint smile on his face. The higher the sales of light novels, the higher the royalties he can get.

Although there is no place to use the money now, the experience of Mrs. Yuigahama before made Hasegawa realize that the more money, the better. Although he doesn't think he will spend money in any special place. But it's always better to be prepared.

In addition, Yuigahama Yui also wants to enter the Japanese entertainment industry and wants to be a singer.

Even in Japan, the entertainment industry is actually like that, and it is also a stage full of unspoken rules. Although money cannot break the unspoken rules, it can at least break some of them.

Hasegawa is not like Yuigahama Yui, who had to succumb to the unspoken rules after entering the entertainment industry because of some bad things.

After all, how can we say the Japanese entertainment industry? Hasegawa also occasionally investigated. After all, Yuigahama Yui will enter in the future, although Hasegawa has no idea about Yuigahama Yui. But she is the daughter of Mrs. Yuigahama after all.

In the Japanese entertainment industry, actors or singers, this kind of stars are not like the stars in the entertainment industry in China where Hasegawa lived in his previous life.

Because of the development of the Internet in China, there are many channels, various programs, or platforms. If it doesn't work here, maybe you can enter from another place.

Just like Hasegawa once heard that a girl who graduated from a music college wanted to participate in Good Music, after all, it was a platform that could allow her to enter the entertainment industry. It's just a pity that Good Music needs to pay 800,000 to advance. There is no money. So she didn't even pass the audition and was eliminated directly.

Later, this girl became a live streamer, and then with the help of the TikTok platform, she accumulated a huge amount of popularity and fans, and successfully used this platform to directly enter the entertainment industry, and even participated in many variety shows.

Although there are still differences from normal stars, one foot has already stepped in.

There are many examples of this kind. Through various channels or platforms.

Even if you want to block a person's news, you can always get ahead through other means.

However, in Japan, this method does not work. Because in Japan, almost all artists are under the name of a certain artist agency or TV station.

Like China, set up your own studio? It is completely impossible. Because it is not allowed.

Also, the salaries or film remuneration of Japanese stars are almost ten times, or even dozens of times, lower than those of Chinese actors.

Just like a star of the level of Yui Aragaki, among women, she can be regarded as the top. But her film remuneration, one episode of a TV series is about 1 million yen, which is 60,000 yuan in RMB. In China, even third- and fourth-tier actors may get a little more than this.

Therefore, Japanese actors are not so strong, nor are they very lucrative professions. Similarly, their social status is not that high.

And if Japanese actors don't obey, it is also very easy for companies or artist agencies to ban them. It's too easy.

Therefore, when Hasegawa watched some Japanese variety shows, whether it was the host, the idol group, or the TV and movie stars, as long as they participated, they would often be embarrassed in the variety shows. No, not embarrassed, but very miserable.

Hasegawa felt that Japanese stars were probably the worst in this treatment, at least on the surface.

Because apart from Japan, variety shows in other countries rarely play so hard.

...

Hasegawa didn't want Yuigahama Yui to have to accept some things she didn't want to accept after entering the entertainment industry because of some reasons or rules.

So, Hasegawa felt that at least he had to be rich, and then powerful, so that he could protect Yuigahama Yui.

Money aside. As for power, Hasegawa could only think of the identity of an author for the time being. In Japan, authors are much more noble than actors.

Hasegawa felt that he could make money with light novels first, and then try to write some traditional literary novels after his writing skills improved. Then, he could use this as a stepping stone to write some TV scripts and become a screenwriter.

Even screenwriters have a higher status than actors in Japan.

"Hasegawa, who was the call just now?" Yuigahama Yui looked at Hasegawa after he hung up the phone, and then smiled, and then pondered, as if thinking about something, and couldn't help but be curious.

"The call just now was from editor Machida. She told me that the number of copies of the second volume of Tokyo Ghoul has been confirmed."

"Really? That must be a lot. After all, Hasegawa looks very happy."

"Yes, it is indeed a lot. There are 50,000 copies." Hasegawa smiled and stretched out his right hand and spread out his five fingers.

"Wow, so many? Hasegawa, you are really amazing."
