Asano Aiko thought carefully for a while, and then said: "But the other party has already agreed at that time."

Hiroto Akihara replied: "At that time, the sales volume of "April Youth" was only 7 copies. More than then, and received support from above."

He added: "The other party didn't have a choice at the beginning, but it's different now. And if I'm not wrong, that Takeuchi-sensei should have handed over all the copyrights to the editorial department."

After listening to Akihara Yuto's description, Asano Aiko found that it was indeed what he said.

For "April Youth", although Hiroto Akihara's works can drive sales growth, they don't contribute much to the net profit of the editorial department.

On the contrary, it is the work of Mr. Takeuchi. The editorial department can operate through various channels to increase the profit of the editorial department.

"Akihara, what do you think?" Asano Aiko gave him a careful look.

In her opinion, since Akihara Hiroto has understood all this, he has naturally made a decision.

Akihara Yuto took a sip of the tea and said indifferently, "Let it be."

He really didn't care. He agreed to join "April Youth" at the beginning, and his goal was just to complete the establishment of the number one literary journal in the industry and to complete his regrets in the "New" period.

So even if the other party invites other senior writers to join, it will not hinder him from achieving this goal.

To be honest, he had already anticipated what would happen today when he demanded that the booklets and film and television copyrights not belong to the editorial department.

Asano Aiko was a little speechless, she was worried and anxious just now, but the person concerned felt that it didn't matter.

Seeing her expression, Hiroto Akihara said with a smile: "Don't worry, I still have the initiative in cooperating with "April Youth". After all, if it wasn't for worrying about my dissatisfaction, the editor-in-chief of Dashiro would not take the initiative to come I'm here."

In his view, Takeyari has just joined "April Youth" after all, and the other party's works are too aimed at female readers.Therefore, the possibility of being popular and filmed like "Guhata" is not very high.

Taking a step back, even if it were possible, would take a lot of time.

Moreover, after sharing most of the publicity resources with myself and Takeyari, the editorial department is unlikely to find other senior writers to join, after all, no one would be willing to come over to be a green leaf.

So for a long time, although the editorial department of "April Youth" had other intentions, they could only offer themselves as if they were serving a daimyo.

At this moment, Satake Maki walked up the stairs, opened the door and said, "Mr. Akihara, Senior Asano, the food is ready, you can come down to eat."

Akihara Yuto let go of his thoughts, stood up with Asano Aiko and walked down.

He thought as he walked, and thought of a new problem.

When "April Youth" becomes the number one in the industry, do I still need to cooperate with the other party?

Maybe it's time for me to set a new goal?

[217.2 Chapter [-] an invitation letter]

For Hiroto Akihara now, fame is not lacking.In terms of his status in the literary world, he has reached the ranks of senior writers.

After having many works, no one dares to see him as a newcomer writer anymore. After all, the series of works he wrote can be regarded as outstanding in terms of quantity and quality.

But in the ranks of senior writers, his accumulation is still relatively weak. The most important point is that he has not won many well-known awards in the industry.

So after much consideration, he set winning more awards as the goal of the next stage.

But now I still need help to continue the signing tour, and the nominations for some heavyweight awards have not yet started.

So Hiroto Akihara decided to let go of this thought first, and let Satake Maki take the initiative to collect some information to make corresponding preparations.

In the busy, February passed quickly.

During this period, another 4 episodes of "Guhata Ren Saburo" were broadcast. Because of the excellent plot quality and the discussion of human nature, the ratings of this drama began to rise sharply.

The average time-sharing ratings of the second episode are 16.1%, the average time-sharing ratings of the third episode are 16.7%, the average time-sharing ratings of the fourth episode are 17.1%, and the average time-sharing ratings of the fifth episode are 17.5%.

However, the ratings of "Detective Umura", which is also a detective drama, still firmly suppressed "Furuhata Ren Saburo", and the average time-sharing ratings of the four episodes reached about 20%.

With the efforts of these two dramas, other programs at the same time basically have no audience, let alone ratings.Because of this, many TV stations have adjusted the program time, and used that time period to put some garbage programs to avoid becoming cannon fodder.

This situation has attracted the attention of many drama critics and the media, so they stared at the two dramas for discussion and wrote many manuscripts.

In addition to discussing the ratings, they also discussed which of the two dramas was more exciting, which actor was more touching, and at the end, they also discussed which writer was better, Hiroto Akihara or Masaaki Furuya.

And the enthusiasm brought about by these topics also conveyed the publishing industry market-the sales of the two magazines "April Youth" and "Tokyo Youth" began to grow by leaps and bounds.

Aichi Prefecture, 6:[-] pm, mountain hotel.

Hiroto Akihara, who had just finished a small signing event, returned to this hotel.When he was about to go back to his room to rest, he suddenly saw an acquaintance—his disciple Toyama Miho.

Miho Toyama was still wearing her high school uniform today. She took two steps forward, bowed respectfully and said hello, and then said: "Master, I learned your address today from Ms. Asano, I hope I didn't disturb you."

Akihara Hiroto waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind, "It's noisy here, go talk with me in the room."

Then, the two walked out of the room one after the other, and sat down around the low table.

Akihara Yuto took the initiative to pour tea for his disciple, and then asked, "Toyama-chan, what are you doing here today?"

He was a little strange. Although Aichi Prefecture is very close to Kyoto, it still takes a little time to come here.

Toyama Miho took the tea, said "thank you", then put down the teacup, took out a journal written "Neon Film Literature" from her schoolbag, and handed it to Akihara Hiroto.

"Master, my father asked me to come. He wanted me to inform you that the paper you co-authored with him has been published in a journal, on page 11."

Hiroto Akihara took the journal and opened page 11 to read it.

The title above reads "Discussion on Multiple Narrative Techniques of Invisible Customers", author Hiroto Toyama Shuichi Akihara", and the content below is almost 4000 words, and the main content is also what I have lectured before.

He looked at it once, and felt quite satisfied in his heart.

As long as I can continue to publish papers, I estimate that I can gradually remove the label of "talented author" that the media has given me.

In the selection of some awards, if some judges think that you are a gifted author, you will often suffer a lot of losses.

Hiroto Akihara put down the journal, and asked Toyama Miho, "Thank you for me and your father, but it's enough to send it by TA-Express, and you don't need to come here."

Toyama Miho shook her head and said seriously: "Master, besides this matter, there is one more thing I would like to ask you."

"Huh? Let's talk."

Toyama Miho took out another newspaper from her bag, spread it on the table, pointed to a message on the newspaper and said, "Master, I want to participate in this 'Modern Reasoning Newcomer Award', do you think it's okay?"

Akihara Hiroto didn't answer immediately, but looked in the direction of her finger.

After reading it carefully, he found that this award for newcomers in the literary world was organized by the journal "Inference Literature" and jointly organized by the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University.
