tokyo writer

I didn't expect that writing novels could give me a reputation as a psychopath, but it seems that many people in the previous life also commented on the original author Yi Yi in this way.

Forget it, as long as it doesn't affect sales.

It seems that RB had a perverted murderer in his previous life. After the murder, he wrote an escape novel. He earned tens of millions of yen from the manuscript fee, and he still has a lot of brain-dead fans?

There is also a neon student who killed and cooked a female classmate while studying in Paris. After being extradited, he also published a book and even went to sea to make a lot of money? !

Hiroto Akihara thinks these two things are simply unbelievable. He can only say that the society like Neon is too indulgent, which leads to the emergence of all kinds of monsters and monsters.

Forget it, these have nothing to do with me, I'd better write my own novel...

Unexpectedly, even though he just wanted to do his own thing in peace, trouble still found him.

[40.Chapter 40 Original case, declension and society]

Hiroto Akihara put down the newspaper, walked out of the house, and went to a family restaurant near his home for lunch. Then he went to the post office a little farther away and sent the script of "Seven Rooms" to Akemi Ikawa.

After everything was settled, he returned home, spread out the manuscript paper, and thought about whether it is better to submit a manuscript for a newcomer to reasoning literature, whether it is the style of writing, the style of change, or the society (in fact, there are some other small categories).

The division of these three categories is actually very simple.To give a simple example, say a woman died in a secret room with knife wounds on her body.

The original style would write like this, the detective found out how the murderer killed the victim step by step by investigating the clues in this secret room, and finally identified the prisoner: "The murderer is you."

The socialists will investigate the woman's interpersonal relationship and find that she has a married lover besides her husband, and the lover's wife is very jealous of the deceased.The detectives investigated all the way, and found that there was a fourth person who killed the woman for his own purpose.

The Biange faction is more curious. For example, after the woman died, the body disappeared. After investigation, it turned out that her husband was the murderer. He killed his wife and ate the body.And the reason why he invited the detective to investigate was that he wanted to kill and eat the detective as well.

Hiroto Akihara was a little worried, if he wrote a work of the social school and submitted it, and the judges were all writers from the original school, would he be directly rejected.

Tougengpai or Biangepai?It seems that this possibility is not ruled out.

After thinking about it, he felt that this kind of thing was not something he could predict, so it was better not to think too much about it.

In fact, if possible, he would directly write the works of the Agatha series.Agatha is the world-recognized queen of mystery novels. Her works have been translated into 103 languages, published in 157 countries, and sold more than 20 billion copies.In the previous life, Neon also had a large number of fans.

He can choose a suitable one among the works of the other party, and change the foreign factors in it into neon local elements, as long as the appropriate reasoning core is retained.

The works selected in this way are submitted, as long as the judges are not blind, the chances of winning the prize are nine out of ten.But won't it be a bit wasteful to reward a mere newcomer?

He stood up, paced back and forth, and after walking for a while, a story suddenly popped into his mind——

A man came home and found his wife and daughter murdered and buried their bodies. After learning the truth that his wife and daughter fought back in self-defense, he decided to help his wife and daughter escape the crime, and began to fight wits and courage with the police...

He pondered for a while, sat down and took out a pen and paper, trying to write the part first, and the pen tip quickly slid across the manuscript paper.

"Takamatsu Daito is a reasoning fan. His hobby is reading all kinds of reasoning books. On this day, after finishing his business work, he returned home as usual, only to find that the house was in a mess. What happened?"

But to his surprise, retelling the story was harder than he'd hoped.Until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he only completed less than 1 words, far below his expectations.

He put down his pen and was about to take a break when he heard the doorbell.

He went downstairs and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, a man and a woman in suits appeared—Takei Kohei and another unknown woman.

When they saw Hiroto Akihara open the door, they immediately greeted, "Teacher Akihara, excuse me."

Looking at the "politician" smile on the other party's face, Akihara Hiroto couldn't help feeling sick.He deliberately drove people away, but after all, the two sides did not tear their faces apart, and they were in the same publishing house.

Forget it, let's see what the other party is selling.

With this method in mind, he ushered the two of them into the living room and sat down, pouring water for them.

Takei Kohei took the water glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Akihara, I heard that your work has been praised by many people recently. I would like to congratulate you here."

When Akihara Hiroto saw Takei Kohei's behavior, it was difficult to say anything. After all, as the deputy editor, the other party was the most influential person in "Tokyo Literature" when the editor-in-chief was not in charge.

He also politely expressed his thanks, thought for a while and decided to get straight to the point, and asked directly, "Editor Wu Jing, you must be busy with work, so what is the reason you came here this time?"

When Takei Kohei heard this, the smile on his face suddenly subsided, he turned his head, and suddenly shouted to the kneeling woman next to him: "Misaki, it's time for you to apologize!"

The woman in a suit next to her heard this and said "yes".

Then she turned around and faced Hiroto Akihara, knelt down on her knees, put her forehead on the ground, and said loudly, "Teacher Akihara, I'm sorry, please forgive me!"

This action of hers is Tuxiazuo, and the way of expression is five-body prostration, which is often used in occasions of apology or request.Generally speaking, this action is considered a shame and a shame.

When Akihara Yuto saw her actions, he was a little surprised and uncertain for a moment. He didn't know why the other party did this, and asked in confusion: "Excuse me?"

The woman continued to press her forehead to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Akihara, I am Sawako Misaki, an assistant editor of "Tokyo Literature", and was in charge of reviewing manuscripts before."

Hiroto Akihara heard Misaki Sawako's self-introduction, but he still didn't know why she did this. He wanted to help her up, but he knew that it was not in line with etiquette.

Misaki Sawako didn't look up, she continued to face the ground.

"Editor Takei handed over your manuscript to me, hoping that I would review it properly, but for personal reasons, I handed over my work to Asano, and missed your excellent manuscript!"

"I am very sorry for this. But I still hope that you will consider "Tokyo Bunga" again!"

Akihara Hiroto didn't know how to respond for a while, he subconsciously glanced at Takei Kohei, and tentatively asked: "Editor Takei, is this what you mean?"

Takei Kohei slightly adjusted his sitting posture, coughed lightly, and took the conversation.

"Mr. Akihara, if you can transfer to "Tokyo Literature and Art", I can guarantee that you will be the center behind the editorial department, which will benefit everyone, whether it is for you, "New Novel" or "Tokyo Literature" Literature and Art."

After a pause, he continued: "Mr. Akihara, you should also know that the recent surge in sales of "New Novel" is purely due to catching up with some hot news. But our "Tokyo Literature" has a real sales volume of 15. Fan group. As long as you can come, we will coordinate with "New Novel" to compensate you in terms of other resources."

His voice became more sincere.

"As an author, you should also know the importance of Mandansha's newcomer award. If you become a writer of "Tokyo Literature", the editorial department will recommend you to participate in the selection of awards, not to mention the gold award, even the grand award... In addition, we can make greater concessions in terms of manuscript fees and royalties for single volumes, which will definitely satisfy you."

His current attitude can be said to be very sincere, which is very different from the first time he met Akihara Yuto - but he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

Neon society pays attention to the respect of the strong, and the other party has proved his worth, so it is also appropriate to change his attitude.If the other party needs to kneel down to be satisfied, then he can immediately fulfill the other party's request.

He is now a critical period for running for the editor-in-chief. He can give up a lot of things in order to further his career. As for dignity, it is nothing.

He already knew through other channels that Hiroto Akihara would be selected for a gold award by "New Novel". Once he reached this point, the fact that he missed this talented writer would undoubtedly become a reason for other factions to attack him.

Hearing these conditions, Akihara Hiroto couldn't help feeling a little dazed.As far as he is concerned, the basic food and clothing problem has been solved now, and the rest is how to go further. The money and future that "New Novel" can give him are indeed not as good as what the other party can provide.

And he also has a very subtle feeling that a person who once didn't take himself seriously is now begging him so sincerely.

He was silent for a while, then raised his head slightly, looked at Takei Kohei's eager face, and gave his own answer...

[41.Chapter 41 as a partner]

Faced with Takei Kohei's proposal, Akihara Hiroto was not unimpressed.

If he becomes a contracted author of "Tokyo Literature", he can undoubtedly obtain higher manuscript fees and book royalties, not to mention the potential benefits brought about by the increase in influence.

But it also means that I will leave "New Novel" and break my promise to Asano Aiko.
