I am a literary giant in Japan

Chapter 234: Eliminate the old and continue the fire of the new

[Innovation is rare in any field of research.

And Mr. Kitagawa’s redefinition of war literature can be called “innovation”! 】

This announcement from the Prime Minister's Office seems to be nonsensical and seems to have nothing to do with their main business.

But after careful consideration, many people immediately came to their senses and realized that this was the official statement, which made the final conclusion on the sales war between Kawaide Shobo and Bungeishunju!

The notice was issued by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and written by Hashimoto Ryutaro's secretary Ozawa, which means that the Hashimoto Cabinet was the supporter behind this notice.

The word "innovation" was used in the notice.

The so-called innovation is to get rid of the life of the old and continue the fire of the new.

It is self-evident who the old man is and who the new man is.

The sudden demise of the Prime Minister’s residence completely disrupted Bungeishunju’s various plans.

Although this time the monthly sales volume seems to be overtaken by "Wenyi", but the two "Tianxia Yipin" have written novels, and it seems that they will be serialized until the end of the year.

With such a long serialization cycle, it’s hard to say who will win.

But the Prime Minister's Office's interference meant that Bungeishunju's huge early marketing costs were wiped out, and their only advantages in funds and channels were also wiped out.

Ueno Toru was dumbfounded and could no longer sit still, so he ran to his private villa at night. Seeing Arima Yoshiyoshi still having fun with the crowd, he thought for the first time, "We are not really going to lose."

After hearing all this, Arima Yoshiyoshi became furious and called Kawata Riko to question her, angrily scolding her for not waking him up from his decadent life earlier.

Kawada Riko was already in Cao's camp but her heart was with Han. She just nodded and perfunctorily agreed to the matter, then turned around and respectfully sent the recording of the phone call to Kawaide Shizuko.

Riko Kawata is a little unpredictable about the young head of the consortium, Shizuko Kawaide.

In terms of age, she is about the same age as me.

But in terms of skills, temperament and aura, there is a huge gap between me and her!

Riko Kawata still remembers the day when the photos were handed to her. Faced with such a big event, Shizuko Kawaide still had an icy face and showed no emotion on her face.

This big boss is just as amazing as Teacher Beichuan!

This further strengthened her determination to change jobs.

Arima Yoshiyoshi and Bungeishunju, I don’t want to stay there for even a day!

On the other hand, after receiving official endorsement, literary critics immediately stopped their activities and no one dared to continue promoting Arima Yoshiyoshi or picking on Kitagawa Hide.

As we all know, the Hashimoto Cabinet is much tougher than the Murayama Cabinet.

As soon as Ryutaro Hashimoto came to power, he had a serious argument with the American father and gave the US Secretary of State the cold shoulder at the Japan-US summit.

Although he was only handsome for two seconds and soon succumbed to the iron hoof of the American empire, at least he was tough for once as a Japanese.

These literary critics who follow the wind are worried that if they criticize too harshly, they will be put on the blacklist by the Prime Minister's cabinet. If one day the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Investigation Department breaks in and puts you in a small dark room, you will have no way to express your suffering.

The literary criticism circle in the print media has disappeared, but the keyboard warriors on the Internet are extremely excited.

The book reviews for "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" and "Killing Commendatore" directly dominated all the forum literature sections. There were even keyboard warriors who wrote book reviews of more than 100,000 words in one go, which were so long that the number of words was more than that of the original books!
【For most people, the war may be something very long ago and forgotten.

We can only rely on film and television works, literary works, or games to recall the war.

These past works are mixed with the personal opinions of countless creators. We cannot see them and are only silently influenced by them.

Thanks to these two novels by Mr. Beichuan, we have a deep understanding of the war of aggression. Perhaps in terms of literary quality, these two new works are not as good as Mr. Beichuan’s masterpiece "No Longer Human", but in terms of social significance, they have far surpassed "No Longer Human". 】

[The above person is farting, "No Longer Human" is the eternal god! 】

[I second the above suggestion. By the way, your mother died on the 10th floor.]

[Did the 10th post offend you? Why has the Internet become so violent now? I still remember that in the early days of the forum, everyone was friendly and never insulted each other's family. ]

[The upstairs is a saint, what does the death of the mother on the 10th floor have to do with you? 】

[I am on the 10th floor, your mothers are all dead. ]

[I think we still underestimated the excellence of Mr. Kitagawa's two works. Don't you realize that he has surpassed Mr. Ichiro Tanizaki? ]

【I am better than your mother.】

There was a crisp sound.

Pete used his soft cat paws to close the extremely violent forum post, but somehow he opened a new post.

"Pete is so great~" Mayumi Aso, who was holding it, gently rubbed its head and immediately got a "meow meow meow" sound in response!
Pete curled up lazily in her arms, resting his head on the plump, soft, big and white Da Lei, enjoying himself very much.

Mayumi Aso, the "healing queen" with an impressive figure, has reached the threshold of a "middle-stream writer". She wants to take some time to calm down, and then write another representative work under the guidance of a teacher, so as to completely establish her literary status.

In order to study during this period, she simply stayed at "Peter Cat" and temporarily replaced her teacher as the first manager of this cafe. Kitagawa Hide and his friends moved to Aoyama Building, and the rooms here were left to the disciples and the girls from Izu. Under the maternal radiance of Mayumi Aso, the group of girls also became well-behaved and sensible, and followed Kaoru to become maids. When school starts in October, they will go to the arranged schools one after another.

Rongji and Aunt Geisha successfully joined a well-known Noh drama and dance troupe in Tokyo and will receive their first salary soon.

They are very satisfied with their current life and are extremely grateful to Teacher Kitagawa who changed their lives. Rongji seems to be willing to go through fire and water for Teacher Kitagawa.

Along with Mayumi Aso, Kaoru also read the literary manuscripts of the famous Tetsutaro Kitagawa Fukimori.

The two sat together, and now they could only rely on online information to learn about Mr. Kitagawa's recent situation.

After moving to Aoyama Building, Kitagawa Hide seemed to have secluded himself again. Only Yumeko would occasionally come here to visit with Jabami Rei who had finished filming.

Mayumi Aso calculated in her mind that she hadn't seen her teacher for 45 days!
Keigo Higashino and Shirou Dango are not as worried as she is.

One of them is a bartender and the other is a marketing manager, and they both have a lot of fun working in "Peter Cat".

Three well-known new writers actually live in a small cafe, so the cafe's business is naturally booming and there is a constant stream of people.

The teacher Kitagawa that Mayumi Aso was thinking about was not actually in seclusion.

He has already finished writing the second part of "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle", the prophecy bird chapter, in advance. He will write the third part when he has time recently, and then organize "Killing Commendatore", striving to replicate the miracle of Murakami's physical book selling 70 copies on the day it was released!
Apart from this, he was mainly busy writing articles for major magazines and newspapers.

That’s right, I just write some casual articles for those messy but financially powerful magazines and newspapers.

This is also something that you must face after your social status is improved.

Japan is a deformed country controlled by countless conglomerate families.

These families have a large number of members and control all walks of life, from aerospace and military industries to toothpicks and scissors, basically they have monopolized everything.

When you become famous, powerful, and have status, those people will come to rub against you like cats smelling fish.

"Hideki, this is the letter of invitation from Asahi Shimbun, this is from Yomiuri Shimbun, this is from Jidai Eiga, and over there is New Filmmaker."

Mengzi had never expected that so many newspapers and magazines would be so shameless as to ask for her to write for him.

She roughly divided these letters of invitation into four categories according to the size of the companies. There were about twenty letters in the top category, which showed their obsession with Kitagawa Hide.

"Wait, why is there "New Filmmakers"? " Kitagawa Hide asked without turning his head, looking at the computer screen, typing on the keyboard with his hands.

The official organizer of "New Filmmaker" is the Starry Award, which has great influence in the film and television industry. This award is very well-known in Japan, and many TV and film companies want to win this award.

But what does it have to do with him as a writer?
"Yes. They wrote in the letter that they hope you, Mr. Kitagawa, can help write a review of several TV series that won awards this year. They will also return the favor and put "Long Vacation" on the list of awards."

Mengzi looked at the letter and couldn't help but open her mouth slightly.

"They said that if the ratings of 'Long Vacation' can reach 10%, they can give out some important awards!"

A 10% viewership rating is the basic threshold for prime-time TV dramas. As long as it is a big-budget, high-budget TV drama, it will basically not fail to this extent.

If "Long Vacation" really only has a 10% viewership, then it's all over!

This is equivalent to directly sending you a heavyweight award.

Many TV stations are very generous in this regard and are even willing to spend money to gain publicity, but these review committees are not very willing to give you a back door.

After learning some secrets of the film and television industry through Jabami Rei, Yumeko suddenly felt that her own Hideki was really prestigious!

A review article with no requirements can be exchanged for a TV drama award with high gold content
If the directors of production departments of those TV stations had such connections, they would probably wake up with joy in their sleep!

"Didn't they say how much the fee was?" Kitagawa Hide continued writing furiously, seemingly not caring about the award at all.

Mengzi was stunned.

I feel like my train of thought can't keep up with Xiujun's.

"A check was sent to me, and they said Xiujun should fill it out herself." Mengzi shook the envelope and found a blank check.

"Well, is there anything Mengzi-chan wants to buy recently? Just fill in a random number."

Kitagawa Hide thought about it and decided that it was just helping to write a review, something many big guys were doing and no one would say anything about him, so he agreed.

As for whether "Long Vacation" wins the award or not, it doesn't matter at all.

This is a national hit drama with a final average viewership of 29.6% and a peak episode viewership of 36.7%!
Even if New Filmmakers doesn't give you a backdoor, they will still beg you to receive the award.

Mengzi said "Oh", thought about it, wrote down 100 million yen, and then ignored it and ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Kitagawa Hide continued writing. After a while, he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen. His appetite was immediately aroused, so he left the computer desk and rushed to the kitchen.

When he passed by the desk, he happened to catch a glimpse of the check filled out by Yumeko. After seeing the 100 million yen, he was slightly stunned, then chuckled, picked up the pen and added a one to the front!

The silly little wife doesn’t seem to know how powerful her husband is now!
