I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 176 Attending Meetings
Regarding this matter, Oshima Kazuya had talked with Kitajima Koma before.

It should be considered a long time ago, it was said that if signings could be held at the new book launch conference, it might be able to increase the sales of a wave of new books.

At that time, Kua didn't like this kind of publicity very much, coupled with some bad memories before, and so on.

It's also possible that he didn't slow down, so he rejected this matter.

And it gave him a face at that time.

Those who are familiar with Ju will avoid talking about it.

I think it's a taboo.

But this time is different.

In other words, it was also necessary for Oshima Kazu to let him know that someone invited him.

Whether to go or not is another matter.

For example, what happened not long ago was that the Sakagami Group spent a lot of money to invite Kazuki Xiaoyuan to have a chat.

Seeing Oshima Kazuya and Kou talking there, no one around them stepped forward to disturb them.

Kosaka Takehiro was also sitting at the bar drinking a long distance away.

"Is it in the University of Tokyo?"

Ju didn't accept the invitation and asked a question instead.

"It should be, maybe it could be placed in the hotel, after all, this is a huge national conference of writers." Kazuya Oshima didn't say a word.

In fact, it is not bad for him to participate in this kind of competition.

For reputation.

As for boosting sales...

Oshima Kazu also recalled those numbers.

Overwhelming others in all aspects may not be of much help to increase sales.

The way to raise the ceiling is nothing more than... tearing down the ceiling and building a new one.

But for now.

The height of this ceiling is certain.

Unless... win a Nobel Prize.

Thinking of this, Kazuo Oshima looked at Kou expectantly.

Kou thought about it.

"Will there be reporters at the scene?"

Oshima Kazu also knew what he was worried about.

"There will be journalists at this conference, but there will be no big publicity."

The literary world has always been like this.

Just like Bai Yujing in the sky.

While fascinating, it is also impossible to fully see through.

For readers, they often experience writers through words.

Occasionally, I will see some photos of the writer himself.

But it can't reach the writer any further.

"If Kou wants to participate and doesn't want to be seen in public, I can communicate with the organizer.

While avoiding some shots, reduce the itinerary as much as possible. "

This kind of thing is actually quite normal.

After all, there are many writers with eccentricities.

So I will take care of more famous writers.

As for Bei Dao Kou, it is obvious that he is in this group of relatively well-known writers.

After hearing Oshima Kazuya's words, Kuma thought about it and accepted the invitation.

Then I heard Oshima Kazuya say: "We, Xinchao, have also received an invitation letter, and I will accompany Kou to attend the meeting."

He knew what the foal was thinking.

For this guy who is seriously insecure, if he is allowed to attend this kind of meeting alone.

It is very likely that you will dig out a pond with your feet in embarrassment.

At the same time, there will be a stress response in the back.

I just won't go to this kind of meeting in the future.

After Oshima Kazuya got a lot of reassurance here, Koma felt a lot more at ease.

"Ms. Oshima looks happy?"

Kosaka Takehiro saw Kazuya Oshima who appeared at the bar with a smile on his face, and ordered a bottle of very expensive wine very proudly.

"Yes, a very happy thing."

"Then this matter must be very important to Mr. Oshima."

"of course."

Kazuya Oshima raised his glass to Takehiro Kosaka.

As for the matter of the Sakagami Group, Kazuya Oshima had long forgotten about it.

To be able to get a really good novel, which is what Kou wants to write except that no one knows, Kou will attend the meeting.

This meant that Kazuki Xiaoyuan had officially appeared on the stage.

There is actually a very important meaning here.

When Kazuki Xiaoyuan, who has been reclusive behind the scenes, appears on the stage, it means that all the illusory images about Kazuki Xiaoyuan will be concretized at this moment.

At this time, this writer who inspires souls to many people, this genius writer who has been crushing the market all the time, will be known by everyone.

Attend such symposiums at the same time as you continue to attend meetings.

Then Kazuki Xiaoyuan's interpersonal relationship will also expand accordingly.

Does it matter?

Very important.

This is a link that all writers cannot avoid.

Or a link that all writers who have been nominated for important awards cannot bypass.

It's like those senior cadres will go to several units to give condolences and so on before taking office.

Tell them this is their leader from now on.

And the same is true in the literary world.

Tell everyone that this person, Kazuki Xiaoyuan, can write exciting words with his pen.

Oshima Kazuya was a little dizzy when he went out.

He drank quite a lot in the tavern.

And summer is more dull.

Before taking two steps, the sweat painted the chest on the clothes.

It looks like there is a sharp dividing line in the abdomen.

At this time, there was a thunder outside.

Before he could react, the pouring rain poured down his head directly.

Same as in the afternoon.

The hot feeling of the lights being doused in the rain brought a little bit of coolness.

Oshima-sensei is sober.

Then, he quickly walked towards the house.

On the way back, when he was turning a corner from the door of the house, he saw the man in the afternoon.

At this time, he curled up at the bottom of a staircase.

Avoid exposing your body to rain as much as possible.

There are a lot of bags at the feet.

Looks like garbage collected around or something.

He was not drunk.

Then, Oshima Kazu also remembered one thing.

He can't even afford alcohol.

……

He just curled up in the corner of the stairs, holding a thin blanket with holes in his arms?
It's a little far away, so I can't see clearly.

However, it should be his thermal protection.

On the other hand, Kazuya Oshima.

He drank and was not afraid of the rain at all.

Just run wild in the rain.

Because, in a short time, he will go home, take a hot bath, and drink some hot water to get rid of the cold in the rain.

But that man can't.

He doesn't have a... home.

He can't take a hot bath.

Not even a meal.

Everything in the world is terrifying to him.

Because once he catches a cold or gets sick, he has no way to heal himself.

People with families are unscrupulous in the rain.

The lonely wandering soul is cautiously living in the world.

It's like... that stray dog ​​curled up under a tree, whining and crying.

Maybe, tomorrow, the dog will be killed.

Because it affects the appearance of the city.
