Chapter 238 Crucial Match Point!
"We won!" Kagurazaka's nervousness was swept away, and he waved his fist excitedly.
"Yes, we got it." Senjumura Zheng looked at the score on the stage, and there was an indescribable subtle joy in his heart, and murmured: "We are one step closer to the showdown."
"There are still three votes."
Senjumura Zheng smiled like a flower.
"..."
Backstage lounge.
"Kasumigaoka Utaha, Nanahara won, Nanahara is so powerful." Sawamura Eriri showed her little tiger teeth and shook Kasumigaoka Utaha's round shoulders.
The latter's bulging chest also swayed with the owner's body, swaying slightly, and then set off a wave of waves.
Eriri was shocked.
She lowered her head and shook her delicate body for some reason.
There was no breeze, and there was no waves.
Eriri: "..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu also noticed Eriri's little move, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Eriri, like a startled young animal, caught the fleeting pitiful look in Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes. Her white porcelain face flushed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What are you looking at? I don't need that kind of vulgar thing. I rely on my beauty and talent."
"Okay." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with a smile.
"I mean it." Eriri glared at the other party.
"I know." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said again.
"Then what do you mean by holding back your laughter? It's funny, isn't it?" Eriri gave Kasumigaoka Shiyu a fierce look.
"I didn't." Kasumigaoka Shiyu was still trying her best.
"Damn Kasumigaoka Shiyu, it's obvious, I'll shake you to death."
Suddenly, the lounge was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"..."
Audience area.
Many people cheered in the place where Nanahara's book fans were.
"Great, I won!" Seeing the first vote results, Miura Yumiko was also infected by the atmosphere and was so happy that she almost stood up.
As soon as she blurted out, she noticed the surprised eyes of Yeshan and others looking at her.
Miura Yumiko, who reacted, instantly blushed.
Her performance seemed to be too excited.
"Well, that." The girl was ashamed and didn't know how to explain.
Just when she felt socially dead, the current group laughed dumbly.
Ebina patted Miura Yumiko's shoulder with a mischievous smile on his face, "It turns out that Miura classmate also has this side."
"Hehe." Miura Yumiko smiled awkwardly.
Hayama smiled, "Yumiko, it's okay, we are also very happy. Nanahara won this vote, and the advantage will be great in the future."
Tobe Sho leaned over and said with a smile: "Yes, it's okay. If I see the team I support win, I will also show this expression."
Ebina Hime rolled her eyes at Tobe Sho, who was dancing with joy, and said, "Who wants to be like you, a pig brother."
Tobe Sho pulled his face and said helplessly: "Hina, you only have Nanahara in your eyes. Who do you think is not a pig brother?"
There was a hint of sour lemon in his words.
Ebina's face turned red in an instant, and she stepped on Tobe Sho hard: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will arrange you to be the Sleeping Beauty in the school festival, and arrange Hikigaya-san to be the prince."
Ebina Hime is the cultural and arts committee member of the class, and she has great privileges in the cultural festival.
"No, no, no, I was wrong." Tobe Sho held his leg and said painfully: "Please forgive me for kissing Hikigaya."
"Then why don't you try it with Hayama?"
Hayama narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Hina, I will tell Nanahara what you did."
"... Well, after all, Hikigaya and Tobe are more suitable." Ebina said.
"..."
Seeing them like this, Miura Yumiko's mood instantly improved a lot.
She looked up at Nanahara on the stage.
At this moment, Nanahara was sitting in his seat, looking a little bored.
Presumably, the second round has not started yet, and he has no pressure at the moment.
With this vote, Nanahara has already taken the lead.
"I hope I can get three votes directly in the second round and win." Miura Yumiko prayed secretly in her heart.
"..."
Tokyo, the back garden of the Shinomiya family.
There is a pavilion in the middle of the garden, with the four sides and the dome painted white, which looks very clean and elegant.
Four girls, three young ladies and a maid, were sitting on the Western-style chairs.
They were Kaguya Shinomiya and her personal maid Hayasaka Ai, the head of the volunteer department, Nagisa Kashiwagi, and her best friend, the eldest daughter of the Shijo family, Shinki Shinomiya.
The situation in this world has always been stable, and people have begun to pursue more physical, mental and artistic explorations, and Japan is no exception.
This has made Japan's already high social status in the fields of literature and art even more noble.
Therefore, Shinomiya and Shijo family, who are in the VIP level of Shuchiin and even two of the three great families, who have far superior political and economic status than ordinary people, have also paid attention to this game.
Seeing the results of the first vote, Shinki Shinomiya's eyes softened a lot.
"This vote is won." Shinki Shinomiya took a sip of Nilgiri black tea in the porcelain bone cup, and her voice was brisk.
"It's well deserved, the song is really good, the composition level is very high. I didn't expect that Mr. Kanhara is such a genius in music." Recalling the song "Sadness of Love", Kashiwagi Nagisa still felt like she was in a dream, with an aftertaste of intoxication.
Hayasaka Ai sat more upright than the other dignified young ladies. She said solemnly: "Master Nanahara's song "Love's Sorrow" is a great arrangement. Even Miss Chika, a piano genius, probably can't do it. With this song, let alone Master Nanahara, even a dog can win at any place."
At this book signing event, Nanahara performed a textbook-level song father's lead.
"What a fuss, Nanahara played the piano very well when he was a child." Seeing Nanahara Yu being praised by the girls, Shijo Shinki raised the corners of her mouth slightly, like a smiling mountain flower.
Unlike the real princess, Kaguya's face was solemn when she saw the scene on TV, and her gem-like eyes radiated a cold light: "Nanara won this vote, but his method was a bit tricky. If nothing unexpected happens, the next competition between the two sides' works in the industry will not be so simple."
Kashiwagi Nagisa took a sip of warm coffee and thought: "Teacher Kanhara's work is not worse than Kiyotani Gawa's. It should not be a sure win, but it should not be inferior."
"What's more, Yamada Chris, Sakurajima Mai, and Hoshino Kurara have all praised Kanhara Yuxin's work in public. As long as nothing unexpected happens, even if Kamo votes for Kiyotani Gawa, Teacher Kanhara will get enough votes to win."
Kashiwagi Nagisa turned to look at the master and servant curiously.
In this scene with a big advantage, she didn't understand why Shinomiya Kaguya didn't think highly of Teacher Kanhara.
Hayasaka Ai first glanced at Kaguya, who nodded, and then began to explain: "In this case, because they need to consider the reason of avoiding suspicion, this may not be a good thing for Mr. Kanhara."
"Also, I wonder if you have noticed Kurara's agency?"
"What do you mean?" Kashiwagi Nagisa asked with a frown.
Apparently, there is something she doesn't know in the news about the Shinomiya family.
Hayasaka Ai raised her eyes and looked at Shijo Maki, her face was particularly calm, "The major shareholder behind that voice actor agency is the Shijo family, right?" Hayasaka meant something.
Shijo Maki frowned and said coldly: "I don't know if Xiaodi intervened, but even if the evaluation vote lost Kurara's vote, Nanahara will not lose."
Her words were full of confidence, and her posture was as confident as a swan on the water.
Shijo Maki's confidence was naturally because of the card she gave to Nanahara Yu.
It seems that the other party's thoughts were seen through.
"If you think Nanahara will take your help and then win the vote in terms of channels, I think you may be disappointed." Shinomiya Kaguya narrowed her eyes and said, "Nanahara has not and will not use Otowa's publishing resources."
"What?" Shijo Maki was slightly shocked. She stared at Shinomiya Kaguya closely and did not believe her words.
Shinomiya Kaguya chuckled and said, "It can be understood from the feeling that Nanahara probably does not take Kiyotani River seriously. He should leave the publishing resources to other members of Akita Academy."
Warm reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause the reading progress to be lost. Please save the "bookshelf" and "reading record" in time (it is recommended to take a screenshot to save). Please forgive us for the inconvenience!
Kashiwagi Nagisa immediately understood: "Doesn't that mean that if we lose the evaluation vote stage, Mr. Kanhara may lose?"
"..."
The second-floor building is the room where the presidents of various companies gather.
Everyone got the news at the first time.
They control the information much faster than the public, but they are still a little unbelievable about this unexpected result.
"I really want Akita Academy to get this ticket." Some people looked unhappy, they all placed heavy bets.
Naturally, they didn't want to see Akita Academy get the advantage.
"What else is Director Nanahara hiding from us?" Keisuke Sunaga said with a beaming face: "Ms. Himeji, even if Director Nanahara turns to make games now, I will believe it. It's too strong."
Although Keisuke Sunaga was joking, he really admired it.
As the director of a publishing house, he naturally understood what it meant to be able to write and edit a song "The Sorrow of Love".
Light novels belong to literature, but their social status is still much worse than that of traditional literary masters.
However, the status of musicians is only higher than that of literary masters.
Literature and culture will be influenced by national culture and the author's thoughts, but music is borderless.
After this game, Nanahara Yu will definitely attract great attention, and their publishing house will definitely benefit from it.
Himeji Shirayuki said calmly: "To be honest, I was also surprised by this, but no matter what, this is a good thing for the Nanahara family."
"It's also a good thing for our Akita Academy." Director Sunaga glanced at Kita Noriko, and his eyebrows could dance.
The most correct thing he did at the time was to sign Nanahara at all costs.
And Kita Noriko, who was very close to signing Nanahara, probably wants to open the quilt and slap herself when she goes to bed at night.
"Director Sunaga, you did make a great contribution at the time." The president's cold voice was relieved, "But the next step is the key."
"President, with the quality of Nanahara's work, there should be no problem." Director Sunaga said, "I think the new form of "Plastic Memories" will be very popular in the industry."
President Qiu said solemnly: "Yes, what you said is the normal state. Now there are people from the Shijo family intervening, and the members of the jury are under great pressure to vote."
"Under the invisible pressure of the Shijo family, Kiyotani River seemed to be assisted by God."
Even if Akita Shoin was not restricted, Kadokawa's publishing resources were still much better than theirs.
The victory of getting the first vote was entirely due to Nanahara Yu.
The rules of the second round, Nanahara as a contestant, will be much more passive.
They discussed before the game whether to use Otowa's publishing resources in this game.
In this way, they can compete with Kadokawa in sales channels.
The entire Akita Shoin management team is inclined to use it.
This resource was originally fought for by Nanahara himself.
But he was sternly rejected by Nanahara himself, and he decided to use this resource as a trump card in the later main game.
It can be regarded as giving up the competition for channel votes in the Thor candidate.
At the same time, the situation outside the field is not very good.
They want to win, only if they get three votes in the second round.
This difficulty is not small.
No one knows what decision the jury will make under the rules of the second round.
But there is no doubt that the judges' decision will determine the outcome of this Thor life-and-death battle.
Akita Academy knew that the four votes in the second round would be the key to determine the winner.
Kadokawa naturally knew it too.
President Kadokawa looked in the direction of Akita Academy and said with a smile: "Facing Kiyotani Gawa, who has rich experience in book signings under Kadokawa Publishing, Kanhara Yushin took the approach of linking with the previous work to evoke feelings. I have to say that this move is very smart."
"But they can't change anything."
"The results of the second round are coming."
"..."
On the scene.
As the jury submitted their decisive votes to the staff.
The competition officially entered the most tense stage.
The pretty host glanced at the two calm contestants and her voice became tense: "Thank you for waiting for a long time."
The professionalism still made the host twist her body to explain: "After a period of advertising... Well, actually we don't have any advertising."
"But this is not important. What is important is that the results of the industry jury will be released in the second stage."
"Look forward to the results of the four votes that are enough to decide the victory of the competition."
"It is very likely that the new Thor writer will be born in this round of competition."
"On my left is the top light novel writer who has achieved a million-level bestseller from Kadokawa Publishing, Kiyotani, Mr. Kiyotani. His publishing achievements are second only to Senjumura Masayuki, one of the Eight Thunder Gods, among the younger generation. This is also his second attempt to challenge the throne of the Thor writer after losing to Senjumura Masayuki last year."
Kiyotani smiled and waved his hand, and the audience applauded.
"On my right is Akita Academy's pillar writer, our candidate for Thunder God this year and the favorite for "Light and Sharp", Kanhara Yushin. Kanhara-sensei is a talented contestant who just debuted in April this year. Just sitting here is shining."
The applause was also thunderous, even more powerful than that of Kiyotani Gawa just now.
On the judges' seat, Mai Sakurajima, who had submitted her ballot, looked indifferent.
In order to cope with this competition, both Kiyotani Gawa and Kanhara-sensei have brought out their exquisite works.
She can see that "Plastic Memory" is very attentive, not worse than "Four Lies" and "Firefly".
She also likes this.
But the agent put pressure on her, hoping that she can vote for Kiyotani Gawa.
Although she can ignore it.
But it is very likely that the other judges are also under pressure.
If so, Kanhara-sensei may not be optimistic about getting three votes.
Once dragged into the third round, it will be difficult.
"Please, I must win this round." The girl brushed away the worry on her face and closed her eyes to pray.
"..."
On the stage, the host said with a smile: "Is it Mr. Qinggu who finally achieved the supreme glory after a year of accumulation; or is it Mr. Kanhara who came from the sky and blocked Mr. Qinggu from this hall of glory again."
"In short, let's take a look at the answer!"
Along with the voice of the commentary, a countdown of '10' appeared on the screen again.
This is the last time before the result is announced.
Everyone at the scene held their breath unconsciously, staring at the screen with eyes wide open.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
As the countdown ended, the screen flashed quickly, and the host turned half his body, waving the microphone and said: "First, the choice of the industry's senior editor, Chris Yamada, please see!"
"..."
The results of the competition were announced immediately, the showdown of the most talented novelists.
PS:
Ah, what a disaster, Erchuan was locked up in the black room again.
There was a problem with Teacher Jing. The behavior of a teacher in Shanghai coincided with the plot in the article and was strictly investigated.
I will try to keep updating while revising the previous article to see if it can pass the review.
I am locked in the black room and have no income. I hope everyone can give me some gifts to tide me over.
Erchuan thanks everyone.
For everyone's enjoyment, most of the chapters are big and have a lot of words.
Warm reminder: The website is about to be revised, which may cause the reading progress to be lost. Please save the "bookshelf" and "reading record" in time (it is recommended to take screenshots and save). We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you!
